D'oh did not read all your post KL, so I am back to thinking about a Priest again... I will have something today

Anyway I have the CoC d20 book also so no problem... how about Stats and Level? Just to give me and idea what I want to mess around with...

No worries, Karl. If you want to play a doctor, I'm perfectly happy with a detective.

Best,
Nick

In the 1890s, the East End is mostly a "wretched hive of scum and villainy" in Star Wars terms.

its still a hive of scum and villainy now!

Athlete: Athletes are often cricket players.

and this did make me laugh

No tennis, badminton, football or rugby? what about the ladies with their hockey and of course upper cass athletes play polo. Oh and what about golf?

Many thanks.

Ooh ooh! Pick me!

Thanks for the Attn line in the title. I haven't read the background post yet but I wanted to let you know that I am definitely up for it. I'll have a concept for you by Monday latest.

Thanks again.

This looks great Andrew.

Every good Victorian game needs a representative of the idle rich. That'll be me. I'll take the Dilettante occupation, and for class probably Charismatic Hero and/or dedicated hero. I picture an idle fellow with eclectic tastes and wide-ranging interests. More details to follow of course.
Just so people know where I'm going.

Here's what we have so far.

Players
Karl Green - priest
Kajamba Lion - detective
JimAde - dilettante

As far as creation goes, we'll go with the standard 25-point buy system as on p. 15 of d20 modern, start at say 2nd level. If anyone happens to play a military character (which it looks as though no-one is), you (or I, if you don't have the book) should roll on the military rank table in Unearthed Arcana. But either way, I need to know what rank, as higher ranks get more wealth.

Another thing in character creation, you get 1d4 contacts starting out. These aren't really sidekicks, just people you can call on for favors and such. They can even be famous people from the era (doctor characters take note: Dr. William Gull is NOT Jack The Ripper in this game; neither is Prince Eddy, or Lewis Carroll, or any of the other famous folks accused of that ).

I might go ahead and open up a rogue's gallery thread a while.

Ahh. I had heard things about how Whitechapel in particular is better now than it was then (though that's not saying a lot!), but maybe it's not THAT much better...

No tennis, badminton, football or rugby? what about the ladies with their hockey and of course upper cass athletes play polo. Oh and what about golf?

It was just the first sport I thought of. Plus, I was getting tired and didn't wanna type anymore.

I've gone ahead and opened a Rogue's Gallery for this, so anybody can go ahead and put their character up when they get him or her done. Link's in my signature.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Sweet. I'll post a character later tonight.

Best,
Nick

I've posted Jamison O'Fingal Diggory, my detective and student of theology & the occult, over in the Rogues Gallery thread. He's mostly done. More coming by Sunday.

Best,
Nick
