[QUOTE="gambler1650, post: 5662218, member: 11033"] Lots of quick stuff here: IC Thread is here: [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/310474-legacy-silver-dragon-s-w-4th-ed.html"]http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/310474-legacy-silver-dragon-s-w-4th-ed.html[/URL] Feel free to start RPing on there even if your character isn't completely equipped/set, it'll be a good way to introduce the town and your characters to everyone. Binder Fred is already there. :) Also, if there's a convo that you're interested in but doesn't have much other than just a quote (no mention of who or what is saying it), you can either just assume you overheard it without seeing who said it and indicate to me that you're interested in it. Or you can do as Binder Fred did, and actually give an NPC and place... (so at least at the start, we build the town up together). Another item for everyone... I realize it got buried in my chargen rules, so for now you can use the standard equipment tables. I'll make a specific town equipment list in the next week or so.
