That was all very interesting, of not pointless.
Now let's get back on track and deal with the important issues:
Like when do I get my title?

Subject: Hasn't been here long
Doesn't have a lot of posts.
Karma is only mediocre.
But I have lent my very valuable ORESENCE to the inn, thereby making it a more worthwhile place to be, if for that reason alone ...
So when do I get my title?

Topic: Utan's out for a while -- a long while
Subject: Thank you all
Thanks Almerin! I can't believe we didn't think of the audio books. Downloading them is not an option due to slow-@$$ed dial-up connection, but there is s store only 20 miles away that has them and a used book store only 5 miles farther away that has used ones, as well. Thanks for the idea!
Utan has also come up with the idea to create a series of 12 characters in each class (levels 1 through 12 of paladins, clerics, rogues, etc., kind of "by dicatation".
I'll do the random die rolls, then he arranges them and dictates, weapons, skills/NWPs, gear, etc. He almost has the PHB and DMG memorized, so he can create characters basically "on the fly", usually without referencing the books at all. And characters he creates this way seldom have "out of bounds" mistakes. I know, I have tried to catch him. When the single-class list gets boring, he says he'll created another "army" of multi-classed characters of varying levels and combinations.
He is also keeping active working with my nephew Kilmer (Kilmorigan), helping to finalize his own world so he can introduce it to RDInn. In Kilmer's world, the whole society is based on music and things like class, level, social status, groups, town wards, street names, etc are described using musical terms like coda, fortissimo, clef, signature, score, note, tone, octave, scale, and such. Kilmer will be coming over two to three times a week so Utan can help him "flesh out" his world, which he calls Dektonal.
These spur-of-the-moment projects seem to keep Utan's mind occupied (for now) and as long as they do, we'll accomodate him to keep him out of the "doldrums of depression", which hit him hard when he came to the realization that he couldn't drive, or even be "taxied" anywhere, he got real touchy for a while ...
All three of us appreciate, and thank all of you for, the well-wishes and good thoughts. I will update RDInn about his progress periodically (whether he likes it or not).

Topic: Utan's out for a while -- a long while
Subject: Utan's out for a while -- a long while
Okay folks, especially players and DMs in the games Utan the Orange is in:
My brother, Utan, has had it rough lately, and even worse now after being released from the hospital after a month plus. He is suffering from diabetic retinopathy (desensitivity of the optic nerve and retina due to nerve damage from the diabetes), and also retinal separation. He has to keep his head tilted to look at the floor, 24/7, for at least 90 days. No computers, no TV, no fun ...
So he will be out of communication for at least 0- days, possibly more. Depends on the doctors. He's understandably depressed and angry, and says to apologize to all for his absence being sudden and long and all that.
For those DM who have both Utan and myself as players, I will post in my games soonest, since Utan's care is now out of my hands for a while. He has daily visits from a long-term-care physician to make sure he "toes the line" and does as ordered.

Topic: Inheritance -- Epilogue
Subject: My point 'zackly ...
Teamwork and cooperation is always preferable to enhance chances of survival in most cases.
A little hint about my gaming style:
I try not to kill characters. But stupidity often does it for me. If the player learns from it, they become a better player. If they don't, they don't.
One thing the group has going for them is that a couple pf players are trying to learn the game rules (and/or rules-based game play in general), so I intend to be lenient -- to an extent. I want them to learn the fun, but not be put off by having their character die because of their unfamiliarity with the game rules.
[[ edit/hint ]]
The nice thing about PbP is that back-posting is handy and viable alternative to leaving something unsaid or undone before it's too late ...

Topic: Inheritance -- Epilogue
Subject: Update warning and assumptions
Okay peeps! I'm extremely happy with the character interaction so far but, to be honest, there hasn't been a lot of discussion (actually, none) as to when, how, which direction, how fast, etc.
This is not a major problem, but I thought I would mention it because I would like to post an update within the next couple of days. If there are no further posts by then, I will assume a few things: Those players who have not PM'd me a (specific) ist of their character's purchases and amounts have decided not to purchase anything additional.
The group (or at least the majority) has agreed to the suggestion to sleep and leave in the morning.
You have a agreed to take the most direct route to the southern tip of the Kryptgarden Forest to begin your search for the keep. Thie would be the overland route, rather than by the road/highway to the north.
Those who are mounted have agreed to set a pace to accomodate those who are not mounted. Those who are not mounted have decided to hoof it, for their own reasons. I will not assume that all of you know the Forgotten Realms setting and at least one is new to rules-based play, so if there ar any questions -- any at all -- please don't be afraid to ask myself or any ot the others who can help.

Topic: Worst Gaming Clichés
Subject: You'd like my TT games
I seldom use rats for just that reason. I replace them with giant shrews. They move faster, have a poisonous bite, and a have shorter tails. Harder to latch on to, and when yoy do, watch out for the teeth!
I'm also fond of stirges and bats (large and small).
One of my least favorite cliches is the "NO! Wait!" change-up after the DM has described dire consequences as a result of an action (stupid or not):
"No, Wait. I MEANT to say I DIDN'T open the door without listening!"
"No. Wait. How about if I jump over that secion of floor after I check for traps?"
"Noooo, wait. He can't really do that. He doesn't have that skill. Instead, he'll ... "
and the list goes on ...
Right?

Topic: Inheritance -- Epilogue
Subject: heritage
The heritage of some of the characters of mixed blood is mentioned in the intro post during the introductions at the meeting, i.e.:
Almyrikon is son of the brother of Dhallagh Gann (human father)
Velina is daughter of the sister of the wife of Shallagh Gann (human mother)
Maybe the pattern was too vague, but the mention of those with any relation to the family of Shallagh Gann were mentioned by the human relation(s) ...

Topic: Seeking the Best 4th Edition Sites
Subject: I normally leave 4e threadss alone ...
But Admirla brings up the single "sore point" in my experience with the game.
Having spent my own hundreds of dollars on the five main boxed set versions, 1e books/modules/supplements, 2e books/modules/supplements, and 3e/3e5 books and modules, and the huge assortment of figurines, paints, dice, game aids, and third-party role-play supplements, I feel I have given the successive companies all I intend to give them.
Having read the new books, I have come to the conclusion that I have no need or desire to spend any more money to learn how to play D&D according to (another) new set of rules. No matter how many books they put out. Those that don't know the old systems are missing out. In the effort to "simplify" ghe game for new players, they have muddied the waters even further for those who knew it in its simplest format -- the earlier versions.
I'll get off my soapbox now ...

Subject: Player F. Y. I.
Links to SRD (source reference documents) for information and descriptions of characters, classes, gear, etc., have been posted (again) on the first page of this thread, in the second entry -- "Roster Info"
For those of you who don't have the books (or can't find them) the core rules and other info can be found at most of these links.
An example of the information available is pertinent to those who are buying food for their mounts and themselves:
Costs:
Trail rations (per day, 1 lb each) = 5 sp
Feed (std., per day, 10 lbs each) = 5 cp
Feed (grain, per day, 5 lbs each) = 2 sp
Last of Marpenoth/Beginning of Uktar marks mid-autumn, so ther will still be some forage (grass, shrubs, etc.) ava8lable for the mounts as you go ...
Any questions, I'm here for ya ...

Dragonblood, Jethro has a donkwy with tack. The animal may only move as fast as a walking human, but it will keep Jethro from tiring ...
All character sheets show mounts (of som kind) except those of the barbarian and the rogue. The barbarian has settled his issue concerning horseflesh, so I just need to hear from Jozan about the rogue. The elven cleric has a mule with a pack saddle,(still awaiting a reply to PM'd questions on that one).
Still the "holiday season" yet, so I'm not gonna push/nudge anyone for a day or three ...

Approximate distance to travel = 120 to 160 miles
Walk/Donkey/Mule = 12 to 24 miles/day
Light Horse/Light Warhorse = 24 to 48 miles/day
So you can make an informed decision ...

Topic: Inheritance -- Epilogue
Subject: Purchases
Unless there are any more questions for the Magister, I'll consider the meeting ended and the group dispersing to buy and/or prepare for the journey
Those characters purchasing items should have their purchases PM'd to me so I can add them to the sheets.
I'll hold off updating until a few days after the new year, and will post a reminder in the Q&A thread before the update gets posted ...
One clarification: As of the date of the meeting, the group has thirty days. Since the meeting JUST ended, they still have the thirty days (29 if you sleep until morning) ...
Great posts so far, people! I'm a happy DM ...
