[QUOTE="J. Alexander, post: 6140639, member: 28453"] Yes your eyes do not betray you the infamous and erratic JA is still around..older wiser, sneaker and dare I even say more convoluted. The horrible typing still remains alas. After several years on again and off again attendance and if course you would know it just when I am in the mode to do well EN world has issues and I lose the passion once again and now that life is semi normal for me I am going to start dming again with only this one game. More may be added in time but for the next year i want to focus on this concept. The Title is "The Princes Own" and think of it as a combination of "The Tudors meets the Borgia's in a fantasy realm heavily influenced by Katherine Kurtz and numerous other authors. This will not be a g rated game by any sort of the imagination expect adult themes, gritty situations and sometime down right unfair ethical and moral choices and be prepared to act / deal with them Intial the characters will have a lot of city adventures / assignments and as they grow so will their tasks. This will have a high dose of politics (its me so you should be used to it by now) as well as the overarching theme of good vs evil. Characters will start out as younger sons of very minor nobility or senior army officers, court officials who have been selected by the prince as his personal agents albeit junior ones at this point. Build your character as if they were 7th level but you will start out during the initial meeting as a first level charcter..hope this made sense...you should post your 7th level character. 29 point buy.. 2 Traits if you wish, Max Hit Points for all levels.magic items and equipment to come after the closing of the meeting and your induction into service. You should have in your character description favorite items and some personal history to help build out the characters. This will be a pathfinder game...core races only at this point and very very strongly encouraged to be human or at least half human and male. But play what you will its your character just don't get snippy if your sometimes picked on :) This will be a game of politics to a certain extent later on..but at first you will be doing various tasks jobs for the prince... Ideally I am going with 7 to 8 players for this game as I will not start another for some time and want to focus on quality not quanity until i get my legs back so to speak. Kick off is to be in or around the 15 or June. Preference will be giving slightly to old players in the campaigns that did not make thanks to computer issues . enworld and other things . Hope to hear from you guys, This will be the opening post: Four Months ago, King Rolin Vasa V announced that for the first time in over twenty years the Royal family of Car-Ni-Micar, would be accepting retainers into their household to help augment existing staff and replace the aging and vacancies due to death, imprisonment, or job abandonment. The air is filled with excitment and speculation abounds as to why this was happening. However as the population of the city stood at just over 2.5 millions souls and the kingdom itself controlled a good portion of the central plains of Rakanna people were eager to serve and become imbedded withing the Vasa Household that to date has lasted 2500 years and has a rich history of magic,might and sordid whispers. The Vasa's stated they would be taking in a total of 150 new retainers and would divide them among the various members direct household. 5 were to server the King directly, and 10 to each of his five grandsons and great grandsons. The remainng would be divided among the household itself according to talent. In heated family councils, you overheard your parents, and extended family discussing who they should put forward for this golden opportunity and how much they could afford to equip the candidates, pay the necessary application fee and bribes and insert someone into the royal household. Three months after the annoucment, you and your family waited in angst and nervoness for the royal messenger to come and deliver the Kings selection. At the stroke of noon, a royal messenger does arrive and a family council is held to open an read the missive. "It is our royal will that you present yourself at the Royal Palace in 30 days to take up your warrant as a member of our Household" Rolin Vasa King of Car-Ni-Micar Lord of the Northern Lake Grand Duke of Silvefall The inital elation of the family council soon turns to dismay and weeping as the requirements are read as to what is needed to be a member of the Royal House. A visit to the family vaults and after several trips to the moneylenders, the family comes up with the necessary coin and you are set on your way. By tradition, candidates for the royal house assembly on the night before interviewing and induction in the great park. [/QUOTE]
