Besides, any game with Festy in it is going to be fun. :)

You flatter me, Ilium. :o

It's probably more likely that we both have a good sense for what games have potential. ;)

Del, with your revision of the combat skills does that mean that a character will take ranks in blade or mace rather than cutlass or morningstar specifically, and then be able to apply those ranks to any blade or mace they happen upon?

Right now just pay for the types as they are.

However in revision you will likely see 5 types, each seperate, with the ability to use any model of weapon (ie Blades will let you use a gladius at score of 1 and stilletto at score of 1 after investment of 1 point) with the option of specializing (ie Blade at score of 0 and Stilletto at 2, after investment of 1 point)

Grok my groove?

As for buying equipment prices and encumberance are not finalized so just use common sense.
 




Sorry, I've been incredibly busy. I haven't even updated the game I'm running! (slacker GM :) ). But I'm pretty much done except for equipment, so I think I'm ahead of the game. ;)

No worries, mah friend.

Description:
Saul is a gentleman of taste and class. While not an arrogant man he chooses his company carefully, and is well versed in the eitquette of court. He prefers to dress in clothing fitting of his station, maintaining good personal hygiene and doing what he can to remain up to date in the latest fashionable styles. He possesses a good build, giving the impression of physical fitness, but this is more a product of good breeding than actual effort and he lacks any real talent for physical activities. He does though occasionally enjoy some fencing and equestrian sports.

Saul is a handsome and influential young man. He is clean shaven and his black hair is kept short. He wears a simple pair of spectacles over deep brown eyes flecked with grey. Saul's eyes give the impression that he is a man of deep thought, and he is to some extent having recently finished a university degree in writing and publications. He realises though that there are people in the world far more skilled than him, so he is often modest in his claims.

Having completed his education Saul felt the need to set out on his own for a time and find some of the inspiration he would need to write works of high quality. After being given a small sum by his father, the Dean of the university he attended, to kick off his travels he left to see what he could find.
