Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[Rhun]

I could see Anar being interested in affiliations with the Dawn Council (considering he would like to be a noble), the Seekers (as he is definitely interested in treasure hunting), and possibly Zelkarune's Horns (although perhaps not until he becomes a better fighter).

 

[stonegod]

There are more affiliations down the line with at least one of the more recent Dragons, though they are not Sasserine-based IIRC. No secret dragon cabal, though.

 

[Legildur]

I'd already flagged in Bael's background an affiliation for Bael with the Withwardens as a way of explaining his current experience point total and also to provide incentive as to why he would take up adventuring.

 

[Malvoisin]

Sorry for the abscence, a ton of work stuff with a big Supreme Court day and my publication deadline.

Ummm...wow. Sounds important. No apologies needed!

 

[Malvoisin]

None of the established ones looked like a fit for Keoni, so unless you want to create the Double-Super-Secret-Bronze-Dragon-Underground affiliation for him. . .

I kind of like the idea of a bunch of metalic dragons living secretly among the peoples of the world, but maybe that's just me.

Don't worry about deciding not to pursue an affiliation, hafrogman. There's no mandate to do so.

Honestly, I expect that most of the affiliation material for the game will be ghosted through, behind the scenes, or, even handled out of character. I don't want the game to get too side-tracked with individual affiliation role-playing, because that's only fun for the players directly involved.

Having said that, here's where we stand on the issue...

Col....Seekers
Chongo....Zelkarune's Horns
Bael...Witchwardens
Anar...Dawn Council
Keoni...none
Kalen...none?

I know some of you expressed interest in more than one possible group, but I think the above shows the best fit...and the most diversity.

Each of you can let me know how you want to pursue your affiliations during party 'down time.'

 

[Legildur]

For Bael, the affiliation serves two meta purposes (aside from being a good fit): firstly, as background for how he accumulated experience points without having to battle some giant demon pony spider??? and, secondly, as a plot hook for the DM to lever on.

However, no doubt as I become more familiar with the game and involved, I will think of reasons IC to seek assistance via the affiliation. And it's already provided a hook for Col to lever on in terms of PC background meetings.

That being said, I'm sure that the Witchwardens might ask Bael to investigate something or obtain intelligence through the course of his adventuring

Col will probably turn to them when his normal means of research start drying up. He's probably heard of them by now, but not a member, as he doesn't really have any juice arcane secrets yet or tie in.

Yeah, but they'll never let Col join since he cannot arcanely cast (even if he goes for the unholy archivist-warlock hybrid build).

even if he goes for the unholy archivist-warlock hybrid build.

That's sounds awesome. What will be even better is if we are all still posting when you get to the point where you can actually build that!
