Last night, I have completed the first session of my new online campaign. The system we are using it GURPS, and the setting is the city of Sharn in Eberron. For more technical details on the campaign, see this thread. Here is a (slightly cleaned up) chat log:
-----------------------------
GM:

GM:
"It was yet another rainy night in Sharn..."
GM:
:
GM:
"As so often you two were in the Deathsgate Guild." Trelian: Rain! Again!
GM:
:
GM:
"A place for mercenaries, Last War veterans, and other never-do-wells..."
GM:
:
GM:
Describe yourself to each other! Thona: At least the ale is good and not too expensive.
GM:
:
GM:
So that everyone can get a good idea of what you look like... Guillaume: Trelian is a dark haired half-elf. His skin is weathered by years of battle and sun exposure. His left cheek bears a wicked scar, a left over from the war that did not properly heal.
GM:
:
GM:
(Perhaps you can use your in-character names as handles now...) Atalaran: Atalaran is an average build young man of definitly not 30 years. Black medium length hair and sparkling green eyes, looking somehow - a little strange. Guillaume: His eyes are bright but a deep sadness common to most Last War veterans can dulls the sparkel. (I'm using my name for out of character interactions if that is okay with you). ** Atalaran wears comfortable clothes and is a regular, in fact staying at one of the rooms here at times. Known as a capable fighter. ** ** Atalaran is also known to like Ale and Women - not necessarily always in that order. He is nicknamed "The Sword" for his strange looking weapon that he is always seen with. ** ** Guillaume Trelian is also a regular. Always well groom, a sign that under his rough exterior, Trelian has had what some call a proper education. **
GM:
:
GM:
"You have seen each other in the Guild from time to time, and know each other from reputation."
GM:
:
GM:
"And the Guild has arranged the odd job for both of you from time to time."
GM:
:
GM:
"But now, a client wishes to hire _both_ of you."
GM:
:
GM:
"In one of the many back rooms of the Guild, you meet... a gnome."
GM:
:
GM:
"He introduces himself as Ganni Karthav." Atalaran: Hm. Well. While the Ale here IS not too expensive, quantities still cost.
GM:
:
GM:
"He explains that he has a certain... package to deliver." ** Atalaran bows slightly in front of the stranger **
GM:
:
GM:
He nods back, and gestures you to sit down at the table. ** Atalaran takes a sit. ** Trelian: Good day, Mr. Karthav. How might I be of service to a gentleman such as you?
GM:
:
GM:
"Well spoken." ** Guillaume Trelian sits down with Atalaran and the gnome **
GM:
:
GM:
"Well, I have a large number of clients, for whom I... arrange certain things." Atalaran: And you expect - intresting appearances during the delivery, I take? ** Guillaume raises an eyebrow **
GM:
:
GM:
"Indeed."
GM:
:
GM:
"Unfortunately, certain parties learned of the impending delivery of a very special package for one of my clients."
GM:
:
GM:
"And unfortunately, too many of my usual delivery men are known to these people." Atalaran: I take it you can discplose more detaills about the package? Atalaran: Such as it's size, and special handling it may need and - naturally - the destination it is to be delivered, too? ** Guillaume nods to Atlaran's question ** Trelian: Might I add : Its nature?
GM:
:
GM:
"The package is approximately one foot by one foot by one-half of a foot."
GM:
:
GM:
"Its contents shouldn't concern you as long as it stays sealed." Guillaume: Small, easily carried.
GM:
:
GM:
"However, you shouldn't jostle it too much."
GM:
:
GM:
"Its contents are somewhat... delicate." Trelian: Unstable or delicate?
