[OOC] Shamutanti Hills - psi/gng [3/4]

Scotley · Apr 5, 2005

I am still here. I have enjoyed the game. If you are up for continuing I will keep playing. I've started running a game of my own, so my time is a bit more in demand, but I can still keep up with one more game. I fear the only other remaining player has gone missing however.

Hey Scotley. How's the your game going? Are you still running the one-on-one with Brother Shatterstone?

Sado is around - we are in another game together and I have seen him there. I'll drop him a note in the ooc thread.

thotd.

Cool, hopefully Sado will want to continue. The game I am running now is going very well. It is listed as Island Empire part one. I started it for a group of friends who have played with me for years face to face, but who can only rarely get together now. They are all pbp newbies, so we've had a bit of a learning curve, but it is going well. BS had to put to solo midnight game on hold due to real life issues, so it never really got off the ground.

I tried to get drag the people I used to play with back into a PbP game, but it didn't happen for various reasons.

I expect Sado will pop up eventually. In the Storms thread he mentioned being rather busy at the mo'.

I am currently getting nameless up and running again. From a high of 8 players many many moons ago, we are down to two whom I just can't shake off. I think that they will need another, so I will probably end up running one of the other shells as a NPC. If you are looking for another game, you would be more than welcome to pick one up. Its a fairly vanilla dnd setting, but it uses my (fairly rough and ready) classless character generation system as well as the GNG rules.

There are three, possibly 4 options. The two simplest are a halfling scout and a human farmer/militiaman. Both of these could be reworked within the framework of what has been downe so far IC. There is also the option of a goblin Blacktorque warrior (worg rider). The final option is a half-orc Warrior of Ketternek (God of Justice). This last one is the most difficult as he has for a long time been the center of things and party leader.

Anyway, let me know if you are interested and we can get into the nitty gritty details then. I realise that most people aren't keen on taking over pre-established shells, and variant rules can be a big put off, so no offense if you aren't interested.

thotd.

My first thought was to pass for the reasons you cited, but I've enjoyed this game and your style. I'd like to look at the game and the characters if you don't mind. Can you give me a link?

doghead · Apr 8, 2005

Whoa. I honestly didn't think you would be up for it. It would be great if you do decide to jump in though.

Nameless is sort of an 'ordinary people caught in the middle of things'. It started with some goblin attacks, and the characters (farmers, blacksmiths, herders, a noble, a warrior - ie NPC classes) being recruited into the mititia. From the town they lived in, they were sent out to travel to the village of Killingtom to reinforce the garrison there. Along the way they were to pass on news of the goblin activity. They ran into a little of goblin activity of their own as well.

Just outside of Killingtom, they met a goblin shaman who told them that there was trouble brewing in the goblin lands as one of their kind was seeking to unite the tribes and lead them out against the people of the plains. Working for the warmonger was a human, who was looking for some device of power. With that device in his possession, the warmonger believed he could convince the other tribes that they could win, and rally the trtibes that hadn't joined to his cause. The Shaman fears that it would be so, and so promised to met the party beyond Killingtom and tell them where they needed to look to prevent the seeker from finding the device.

Thats where they are now. Meeting the shaman in some ruins a day out of Killingtom.

The easiest way to access the game would be my pbp thread here. All the links are there, as well as a little info on the characters.

Sado · Apr 8, 2005

Hey guys. I've been checking the IC board for our game, but I didn't think to look here until now. I'm still around, ready and willing to go.

Are we continuing in the Shamutanti Hills, or are you trying to drag us over into another game

? I could go for either, but not both, as my plate is pretty full right now. So if our game is still going, I'm still here. Or if you want to just concentrate on the other game, I'd be interested in seeing what it's about.

doghead · Apr 9, 2005

The offer to take a character in nameless was just an option if you wanted to pick up another game. I was planning to keep both games running if people were still aboard.

so I'll get to work on the IC thread.

thotd.

A player who had to bow out of nameless for RL reasons has popped up again. When someone lets me know that they have to bow out, I will always try to edit out characters in a way that I can bring them back later if the player wishes. So I am going to be bringing their character back in. This gives me an opening to introduce new characters, so if you are interested in creating one of your own, let me know.

Garival has tracked Cromwell from Killingtom to the ruins, so I could easily add another here. Obviously, it would have to be someone who had been in Killingtom at the time, so the character would need to have had some reason for being in a frontier garrison village. But other than that, its open.

I'm not fussed about filling the 4 iconic slots in the party. Life is rarely that organised. But the party doesn't have a spell caster of any sort at the mo', so that would be an area that would give you heaps of opportunity to shine. Just a thought ...
