Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark Causey" data-source="post: 1900956" data-attributes="member: 13347">Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it appears we have seven individuals posting interest. I find that number appealing; everyone can consider themselves in at this point. I'll change the title listing such that we're looking for alternates and add the title as I've slept over it now and haven't heard any objections. (Note, while writing this, an eighth individual has added a request. As I never thought I'd garner such a prolific response, I'll have to consider how to handle all this - suggestions?)    Once again, this is my first time DMing a PbP. You guys and(?) gals're responsible for telling me when I'm being or making it difficult to play or missing something obvious. I've seen other PbPs, and I do like colors. However, I'm not going to dictate a color choice; if y'all (I do try to write as I talk and I am Southern) can collaborate and choose a color scheme I'd appreciate it.    Joshua: You're looking great so far. Drugs and drug use do usually appear in my games, so that's fine. I hadn't decided on the starting city yet, but for now it can be Sharn. The only book I'm missing at this point is actually the Sharn book and I do want to look it over before deciding - I tend to make up things far too easily to tie myself down to too much pre-existing fluff. As an example, my tabletop game is currently in Karrlakton in Karrnath. If you look at the picture of it on page 180 of the Eberron CS, you'll see that it sits on some sort of (un?)natural butte or canyon. None of us liked that artist's interpretation, so I made the harbor town more like San Francisco, and referred to parts of town as Half-Hill or Quarter-Hill (with the explicit idea given that the higher up the hill the higher the class status).    For everyone else, please feel free to make your characters up as Joshua has done. You're all working your stories toward the following scenario (which I've based off the response that seems to indicate 'loner' iconics/achetypes - this setup may change based off of the characters written):     You enter into the plush and antique-filled antechamber by pushing through the curtains covering the portal. Your ears are caucophonously greeted before your eyes, which take over as they jealously absorb and guard all new information. You can't help but eavesdrop on conversations as you mill about the room. Thus, you discover, to your dismay, that the Morgrave Gambit to which the ripped flyer in your hand referred to requires a group of at least four 'stalwart, healthy chaps of an Inquisitive and Adventurous breed' to register.    "Damn, so much for that idea ..." you mutter as you look about for other persons of an equally fooled nature. That is when you spy a sweating, leg-dodging gnome in Official Xen'drik Safari gear working his way toward you, almost miracuously avoiding blind knees and scabbards.</blockquote>
