Bobitron, where do you get the cool pictures you post with your characters? Just out of curiousity...

I have a folder with probably a thousand pieces of art that works well as character portraits. That one is from Pirates of the Spanish Main, I think.

Look for the start of this game sometime over the weekend. We'll be going ahead with just four players as Maddmic has bowed out and I haven't heard back from Drowned Hero in several days.

Bobitron, if you want to post your character in the Rogues Gallery thread, that would be cool.

I think that's the third time you've reminded me and I've fogotten. Sorry. I'll get her in later today.

Okay, she's in the RG. I'm still considering what to buy with that 100gp, but Ill work it out soon.

Poison seems hella overpriced. How is it that a potion of Cause Light Wounds does 1d8+1 damage straight to hitpoints is like 50gp, but a poison that causes a few points on Con loss and allows a low DC save is 100gp?

I don't have my books, so those prices are probably wrong, but do you know what I mean?

Okay folks, the IC thread has been posted here.

Finally got the Player's Guide yesterday. Good to find that my concept for the character will work with the extra info I learned. This is going to be fun!!

I'll get a post up tomorrow, need to spend some time with my girl tonight after a tough time at work.

After reading MummyKitty's post, I wanted to ask what tense you would prefer the writing to be done in, Toric. I haven't done 1st person before in a pbp, but I know it could get tricky to read mixing 3rd and 1st person.

I didn't mean to cause any confusion-- my first person opening was totally experimental for me. I'm not sure myself if it will work over the course of the adventure, but if it isn't obvious I was trying to give a little "film noir" feel which I think is appropriate for the setting. However, my writing is a bit rusty at the moment... one of the reasons I am doing PbP is to polish up my skills and practice.

Anyone else have apprehensions about this approach? I don't necessarily think it would be bad for people to use different tenses (I've seen it done in many books) but, I do agree that it could be a bit tricky... Anyone else have an opinion?
