GM's kick people out? I douby my fragile ego could withstand such a blow!

Well, sometimes. Depends. If there are 12 people trying to make characters for one game, that's just too many most of the time. If he specifies "The first four people to complete a character" or something, then the last 8 are alternates and it's not a big deal. If he says, "I'll choose from the candidates" or something, the GM can pick a party and 8 people will be disappointed.

The council is composed of merchants because it's a economically driven city There used to be nobility ont he council, but as they tended to be the ones who made up the guilds anyway, the official requirement was dropped in y319.

But.. yeah

Doesn't that encourage people to create characters without much fore-thoguths, though, to hurry in to get a slot?

I would wonder if it might be better to ask for volunteers first, then get bump people if they don't create a character in X time....

I like the town, it's rather flavorful. I'm wondering why the Council seems only comprised of merchants, and why he doesn't mention a huge stench where all the water flows down, but it seems cool.

I like it myself. It does stink quite a bit there, but it's only really bad downriver. Or when there's a south wind blowing. It's a great place to buy illegal things.

I'm pretty sure the council doesn't specifically mention nobility and such, only merchants, is because even the nobility on the council are guildmasters and merchant house owners. In Voushta, unlike in Grensha or Nagog, much of the nobility got where they are through financial means alone.

If you post to the talk page for Voushta, JDiv, Colin will be able to address these things a lot faster. That and Ian will be very confused as to who the heck you are, and that makes it worthwhile in of its self.

But it's also a city of thieves. It'd be neat if one of their guilds had a contingent in the council, or at least indirectly influenced one of the factions. At least, you mention it's a city of thieves, so that angle could be played up a bit more.

And I think you mention the stink, but in passing. I only skimmed through the Districts section, though, so if you went into more detail there, I missed it. I'd be amused to see how people handle the stink, for example.

Oh, hm. Should I cross-post there?

That's be great!

Oh, and "The Thieves' Guilds are absolutely represented in council business. Officially even!" - E1ven.

Heheheh.

All right. The typos too?

In my experience, it isn't so much as "First completed characters" but "First people to post," which is pretty much what you want. When the DM says to complete characters, he'll usually pick and choose afterwards.
