DCC #8 Mysteries of the Drow (CLOSED)

[Maidhc O Casain]

Seems like every group I'm in lately we start out not knowing each other. That's cool - it makes for good opportunities for RP - but it gets to be the same old thing. I think it would be cool to try to RP a group that's known each other for a long time. I'm thinking in terms of some of the unscripted shows (Curb Your Enthusiasm, for example) - if it's assumed we are intimately familiar with each others' history, anything we say would have to be worked into the conversation as though it were true . . . while we'd need to be careful to avoid saying things that directly contradict backgrounds as written for the characters. (It won't be hard to avoid that for Seilg, since I haven't written one). Seems like it would be a cool way to collaboratively build a history.

Am I making sense? The idea is about half formed in my head, just trying to get it down.

In terms of a name, what about MacTire's Misfits, where MacTire is the man who originally put the team together. What happened to him? Is he dead? How did he die? If he's not dead, where is he now and why isn't he still leading us?

All grist for the improvisational mill . . .

(Mac Tire is Irish Gaelic for Wolf, btw).

Hrm... I'd been thinking that Telos would have been an eccentric Drow sorceror chaffing in Drow society(and he wasn't particularly respected), and hence him being assigned to oversee the adventurers. If you wanted us to know one another, this could be a regular occurance, Telos being ordered to oversee groups of adventurers.

Along with a pesky half-breed ?

Works for me, though given Gar's and Seilg's likely personalities you might want to put 'oversee' in quotes . . .

"Hoi, Telos. Back to keep the upstarts from taking over the underdark?"

Back and forth bantering with the ease and lack of rancor born of long familiarity.

Though if we're not always part of the same group it makes the 'group name' less meaningful.

 

[Dragonwriter]

I'm fine either way it goes, though if we have a group history, I think it should be a decently long one (as in, all of us working together before for some time).

Mechanics should be finished. Skills don't include ability modifier.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Off to the lake for the weekend. Back sometime Sunday!

Walking dad: were you not suposed to be part of group 2? in that case he should be two levels lower.
