Outer Planar High! We're gone! (OOC Thread)

[Dark Eternal]

Sorry I've been so late getting back here - I hadn't been able to spend much time online for the past few weeks. If I haven't forfeited my slot, I can have my character background and stats up before monday. I think he'd be the sadistic arrogant jock type. A definate place on the Abyssal Football team's offense...

Mathematics: This class focuses on solution of equations and computation. The professor is a modron who some say has gone rogue. ((sorry, can't think of a funny name)) Students in this class are allowed time on the schools analytical engine.

Heh.... Not bad, especially in combination with a gnomish tinker-priest.

Underground Exploration League. Not an official club. A loose group who try and map the tunnels under the school. It is unknown who carved the labyrinth which Outer Planar High rests upon. The tunnels seem to be far older which suggests that the school was built on existing ruins. Parts of it are used by the staff and custodians but most of it is sealed off. Mapping is difficult due to the fact that large sections of the underground are repeating ten by ten identical rooms.

WHOA! You didn't tell me you're a telepath!

Okay, so Dark Eternal and Dark Nemesis make the number of players six, so we can get started. I've got some nice ideas, but do you want a 'pilot' where your character get to meet each other, or should we assume there's some other way you're connected?

Not telepathic, I am just following The Rules. You know, the one that states whenever there is a magical/outerworldly/strange school there must be secret underground steam tunnels nearby.

I'm usually not too keen on 'pilot' episodes. I like to jump right into the action. But I'll go along with whatever the rest of the group wants.

 

[Jemal]

don't really matter to me, There's benefits to both. I'll vote for a Pilot though.

Anyone here read The Tough Guide to Fantasy Land? Mocks fantasy cliches in guidebook form. Talks about The Rules a lot, and refers to the adventure as a "tour"- i.e, "at some point during your tour, you will meet a young page- in reality, it is a disguised prince or princess." etc.

Anyway, I could go either way. It would be easy enough to go through the list of characters and say "I think X of person Y," just to establish things. Considering the likely personality clashes between characters, though, if you want us working together perhaps a pilot would be best.

Go for the pilot episode. I always find meeting more enjoyable than "So you're all sitting in the tavern..." intros.

Mr. Nemesis? Mr. Eternal? PC stats please?

 

[Robbert Raets]

Hello? Is anyone still interested or should I start recruiting for Madams & Mavericks?

 

[Jemal]

I'm still hangin around, waiting for something to happen... last I knew we were waiting for 2 more PCs..
