Leif's 'The Hall of the Rainbow Mage' [A] (D&D 3.5 OOC)

Hi ... I'm back!

What did I miss? Am I still in this game? If so, what is the party composition, and is there a RG?

I take it our mission is to find Leif and rescue him!

Well, I'm playing a Melee-style Drow Warlock(A not quite so goody version of Drizzt who uses magical stuff instead of double scimitars... and none are named twinkle.)

I'm most done, save I need to pick out two of my feats, which energy resistances I'll take, and which invocations I should select.

What about Icingdeath?

Sorry, not that either. I thought I read somewhere only one of Drizzt's swords had a name until the Videogame people who did Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance named it. Couldn't remember which was which... and maybe I was mistaken.

Icingdeath wasn't named for many, many books, but eventually Salvatore did come up with a name for it...it was named after the dragon who's hoard it came from. Twinkle already had a name when it was given to Drizz't.
 


It all goes back to the campaign though. Just like in Lauralee Summerhome, orcs and goblins are much more widely accepted then they would be in say Greyhawk City. It is all dependent on the world.
In LauraLIE Summerhome (ahem!) full-blood Orcs are not generally tolerated on the streets (at least in the decent neigborhoods during broad daylight), but Goblins are a sort of underclass who survive in the city by doing the nasty, dangerous, or just plain old crappy work that more civilized folk don't want to do. They're "accepted," as you say, only by virtue of this willingness to serve as the lowest rung of the social ladder and get crapped on by all those above them! :)

HELP ME, KINEM!! HURRRRYY!! Seriously, yeah, you're still here, if you're still here, if'n ya take my meaning. ;) Rhun already gave you all the links you need, didn't he? There is no IC thread yet.
 

In LauraLIE Summerhome (ahem!)

Great, now I'm going to have the Lyrics to Styx' Lorelei stuck in my head.

"The way she moves, ooh-ooh
I gotta say
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever"

:)

Fair enough. I wasn't around for the initial portion of the adventure, but for some reason I got the impression that some orcs were welcome in the city. But you get my drift. Each campaign has slightly different aspects when it comes to the populace. :)

Sure, I get it. And some orcs probably are tolerated in LS, too, but you won't see one on every corner by any means. Yeah, those differences from campaign to campaign are what makes dragging my butt out of bed every morning all worth it! :D (Well, MOST mornings, at least.)

Don't even get me started about how the recent prevalence of standard settings like the Forgotten Realms have damaged the creative world-building side of our hobby! Oh, I love the realms, don't get me wrong, and some DMs probably make significant changes to the setting, too, but I think that by and large, most people just open the box/book/whatever and use an emotionless vanilla snapshot of the world much like a town from a "B" Movie Western shot on the back lot of the movie studio.

You'll like my homebrew. A realm of hobgoblins, a kingdom of orcs, an empire of lizard-folk, and an island of cyclopskin...all built within the framework of a standard humanocentric fantasy realm. :)
