Just an FYI, I got Villains Reborn recently, the 3.5 pdf of Bastion Press' 3.0 Villains book written by James Jacobs. Interesting entry on Sandpoint, the location from the 1st RotRL player guide.

That's good to know. I might just have to take a look...

Paizo's blog today has a neat blurb from the Guide to Korvosa, which just adds another little tidbit of flavor to the city which this campaign will call home. I thought I'd share...

The Guide to Korvosa details Varisia's unofficial capital, a militaristic city tolerant of fiends but ever strict in its applications of law and punishment (especially the punishment). Three military branches protect the city from external and internal threats: the peacekeeping Korvosan Guard, the hard-hearted Hellknights of the Order of the Nail, and the elite hippogriff riders of the Sable Company. Here is just a taste of what the beloved marines of the Sable Company are all about.

Sable Company
First by tradition, and later by an addendum to the city's charter, the Sable Company does not answer to the leader of Korvosa, regardless of the leader's title. Instead, the commandant of the Sable Company reports directly to the Seneschal of Castle Korvosa.
Commandant Marcus Thalassinus Endrin leads his hippogriff-mounted marines in defense of the skies and waters of Korvosa. Shipboard raids and airborne threats fall under the jurisdiction of the black-clad Sable Company, and its members offer aerial and amphibious support to Korvosan Guard operations. The Sable Company works closely with the Korvosan Guard and relies on its ties with that group to coordinate efforts with the Hellknights and Acadamae (neither of which the Sable Company gets along with).

Hey stonegod, with the recruiting thread for the last spot(s) in this game set to open next Monday, I just thought I'd let you know (as if it weren't already obvious) that I'm moving forward under the presumption (based on your prior equivocation) that you do want to play in this game as Coldan.

If you're interested in refuting my assumption, now would be a good time to let me know, so I can recruit for two spots, rather than one.

But I hope you'll play.

And, in case you're still possibly on the fence, here's a link to an image that I 'borrowed' from someone on the Paizo messageboards. Surely, this will be an inspiration to us all!

Hey Malvoisin, glad to see you giving it another go. I'm sure you'll run a great game and I've gamed with just about every one of your potential players. You have a really good group. I've sworn off adding any new games to focus on DMing or I'd give this a try. I'm really in way too many games right now as you'll see if you check my sig. or I'd be happy to join. Just wanted to drop in and wish you the best.

Thanks, Scotley! You're a class act all the way, sir, and your kind words mean a lot to me.

I should also add that I share your high opinion of the players I've got lined up for this. I feel very fortunate to have this group of players, and I'm going to do my very darndest to not let them down.

It looks like there is going to be a lot of stiff competition for that last coveted spot in your game.

Ggrrrr!!!

After consulting with my family, my colleagues, and the Space Pope, I am proud to announce today my candidacy for the Pres... wait, wrong speech.

I'll give Coldan another go; I like the messed up bugger. Though, for now, I'm not planning him past 3rd level. Lets take this one module at a time.

SO good to hear!

Thanks, this lets me get my ducks in a row as I prepare for Monday's recruiting thread.

As an aside, I should mention that if we do complete 'Edge of Anarchy' the PCs should advance to level 4.

Still, that would take a while, and you're right...let's not get ahead of ourselves.
