[reveal]

Hehe...

[Bad Hungarian accent]How much for the little girl? How much for the women? Your women. I want to buy them. The little girls...your daughters...sell them to me. Sell me your children.[/Bad Hungarian accent]

Does this mean I have to wear a black suit?

[Shemeska]

Looks like I'll be reprising Sir Head Explodedy for Planescape and kicking it Joe style this time.

I will be bringing my feng shui book and the random stuff to hit people with book.

Dibs on the Snake Eyes esque character.

*chuckle* A psion... *ponders* This will be interesting.

I'll have a list of the pre-gen PCs for my game up sometime this week.

I don't know yet. Some of it probably will be, but we need to look at how much our premiums could go up, whatthey will cover, whatthey won't, and what the actual value of what we lost is going to be (the carpet in the room that was flooded and my comics). Unfortunatly, in all the rush to get stuff out of the room and off the wet carpet, we never took photographs of the wter damage, so we have no real "proof" that the leak occured, aside from the $5000 bill to replace all the plumbing in the house (which was something we were planning on doing, just not this weekend). Insurance definitly won't pay any of the plumbing, as that is specifically not covered.

CL -

That sucks! Water damage is a bad, bad thing...sorry to hear about your losses. Hope your holidays cheer you up a bit more!

Dib's on...! Well. You know which one I've got dibs on.
Planewalker claims dibs on your module writeup afterwards!

I'll have a list of the pre-gen PCs for my game up sometime this week.

Not sure if you missed my earlier post, but now that I'm signed up good and proper , I'll try again:

I saw that you said characters need to be generated to ECL 8. How do you feel about the Half-Celestial Template?

Also, should I use 3.0 or 3.5 rules, and what guidelines for starting funds/items?

OR, do you prefer that everyone just use the pre-gens, now?

Half celestials are fine, as are half fiends. Alignment is up to you, and I won't set any restrictions of PC alignment, just so long as folks keep in mind that the other PCs might have issues in character if it comes up.

I'd prefer 3e, mostly because I'm more familiar with it versus a lot of the 3.5 changes. However I'm open to it if you lemme know what the differences are (in terms of the ecl cost and the differences in the template). I'm also open to changes in the template based on what specific type of celestial was involved.

Use level 8 in the DMG guidelines for starting funds, and purchase items according to that wealth level. Though it's highly unlikely (aka I never have), I might ixnay some items, so lemme approve them before the game.

 

[Riggs]

Jon Potter and Riggs,

Here is the deal...one of the reserved slots is definitely open. I will let you guys thumb-wrestle for it (although Riggs did get Rel of his keister ). I should know about the 6th slot in early January and will post then.

For Reveal, Rel, Henry, Nakia, Riggs and/or Jon and a player TBD...

We will be using the same PCs as last time, although I will probably tweak them a bit in level and/or gear. I am acutally thinking about leveling them up a bit just to throw more shi...er, just to make it more challenging !

If you were in the last Faded Glory death-match and are interested in playing the same PC as last time, just let me know and I will reserve them for you. As always, you are free to horse-trade PCs right up until game time.

For the casters (Vercinius and 'Fightin' Tony Bellicus), I am currently planning on using the modified BCCS magic system we used last time. However, if the playtest rules for Wulf's upcoming GT magic is available before the Game Day, we will go with that instead. I will try to have that decsion made at least a week prior to the game.

I will try to have a backgrounder and PCs out before January 1 so folks can review and ask questions.

From a statement my attorney prepared for the Story Hour thread:

As for the slot left, I know Jon and I both want to play. Jon chimed in here first and I had already chimed to Rel to make that possible, so legit cases both.

After dutiful consideration and deliberation, my client is willing to grant all rights to the 5th seat in the GT/BCCS game to Mr. Potter--on the condition that my client be granted rights to the possible 6th seat and if so, the play of Vercinius.

I'd hate to get all random, though the D02 system know no limit.

If the seat is there, I want it (if you're early enough so Belen has plenty of warning), and if not, I will most happily let Belen smash my character out of vengeful spite. I mean, play some future d20!

Character ID is occasionally strong, and I'm used to Jon as Cpt. Umbrage and Belen as Budrajah in SG, hence my want to reprise Verc in like fashion. Else, I am pleased to d20F.

 

[Mark Causey]

Well, well, one slot down. Who else will sign up for your newest favorite game, Face of Angels? Who else will get their own copy of Shadow of Yesterday for free? Who, indeed?

GT/BCCS Backgrounder + PC Line-up

Hey Gang,

For those planning on playing in the morning Grim Tales/BCCS Hybrid game...here are a couple of items. A backgrounder is attached...and the PC line-up is as follows:

• Myrwyn of Eastenmarch (Caeldyn Fast 6/Tough 4): This elven-blooded lass is an experienced tracker and deadly archer. Many have underestimated her due to her slight frame and delicate features, much to their eternal detriment [reveal].
  
• Brandis Tollhart (Halfling Fast 4/Smart 6): Quick, smooth and slippery, Brandis has a knack for getting into, and out of, trouble. His blade has a habit of finding enemy vitals [Rel].
  
• S. Antonius Bellicus (Human Smart 10): A taciturn and haughty War Wizard, "Fightin' Tony" is can make even the toughest opponent pee his kilt [Henry].
  
• Vercinius of Osirian (Human Dedicated 5/Charismatic 5): Vercinius has the ear of Osirian the Lawgiver...always a good thing. His quiet strength and ready mace support the team in time of need [Riggs].
  
• Boldric of the Brigantes (Human Strong 7/Tough 3]: Barbarian, galley slave, ex-gladiator, proficient killer, Boldric has done it all. He was the only one to smile when given the mission...he owes the Corsairs payback for years of chained maritime servitude [Currently Unassigned].
  
• Maxian of Tyrial (Human Strong 3/Dedicated 7): The "Hammer of the Sythians" is a fearsome opponent...even to non-Sythians. His service in the name of Emor and Arch-Angel Tyrial has been exemplery [nakia].

If you want to throw your name into the ring for a particular PC, please let me know. I am giving first crack to any returning players that want to play the same PC, but horse-trading and bribes are encouraged. Rel has already picked up Brandis...what about Nakia & Henry? Reveal, if you have a strong preference on a PC, let us know...since you are traveling across the frozen tundra to play !

Also, Jon Potter and Riggs...lemme know what you want to do (my apologies to Belen for attempted player-napping ).

I will have a revised set of table rules and AP usage prepped soon. Also, I am going to pick up Wulf's "Mythic Heroes" PDF and probably template each of the PCs with one of the archetypes...seems like a good add-on!

More soon...
