Retired PC Census

[Jeff Wilder]

As hard as it is to believe, I really only have one genuinely retired PC, after 25 years of gaming. I've got many I simply stopped playing, and quite a few that died, but only one that I retired. (I retired her after I quit playing D&D due to 2E-disgust back in '92 or '93. Theoretically, she could return in a 3.5 or Pathfinder incarnation, I guess.) This is also the only female PC I ever played, and considering how much I loved playing her, I suppose it's a little odd than I'm so strongly against male-to-female cross-gender RP now.

I played her almost exclusively for almost five years and "only" got to 16th level. (Contrast to my highest-level PC, a 20th-level necrotheurge who died in the Shackled City finale, who achieved that level in less than two years.)

1) Hanley Caulkerson
2) Human Thief 16 (1E and 2E) -- NG
3) Greyhawk
4) Free City of Greyhawk
5) Runs a brothel/thieves guild

Hmm. I can't say I've ever had a single character retired. Either they died, or the campaign ended mid-progress due to RL reasons (changing games, scheduling conflicts, etc).

Here are the two that survived the TPK that ended a campaign.


1) Lt. Orim of Lakeside (shortly could be d'Deneith)
2) 3.5 Edition Human LN Bard 5/Ftr 2. (standing houserule that Bards can be any alignment.)
3) Eberron
4) Was last seen heading back to Sharn from the Shadow Marches after defeating a threat from the Lords of Dust.
5) What do they do now? Having recently found out he's a heir of Deneith, Orim is faced with a choice, continue to work for the Karrnathi secret service, or join his dragonmarked house. Probably choose to try to keep his mark secret and remain a loyal part of the Karrnathi military.

1) Brother Marcus
2) 3rd Edition (not 3.5) LG Human Monk 15
3) homebrewed
4) currently stuck in Lady Moonflower's teleportation room with no way to the outside, contemplating how to get out since Lady Moonflower always retrieved the party in the past. Is stuck there thanks to his usage of a magic item to escape the clutches of an evil wizard at the cost of leaving the rest of the party behind to face their demise. Oops.
5) What do they do now? Depends on what happens to Lady Moonflower. In the homebrewed world, arcane magic is outlawed (all of it), and Lady Moonflower currently is under house-arrest for harboring magic users (other Pcs). If Lady Moonflower manages to free the Brother, he is in possession of 4 parts of a 7 part artifact needed to ensure the Treant race isn't wiped out, and therefore would be leading a new group in search of parts 5-7. Of course, there is a chance he's found by the zealous arcane police, arrested, and executed for crimes involving the use of arcane magic items and befriending wizards. Really, 50-50% chance either way.
