Subject: Well Raven...
At the moment, it seems like some people have gone AWOL, and so I would gladly welcome you into the game, alongside the current players. Send me your character (in 3.5 version please) and we can get started on Sept 1st.

Topic: Assassin Campaign (redux)
Subject: Assassin Campaign (redux)
A figure walked down the muddy streets, heavily clad in a thick, grey cloak in the heavy rain that was habitual to Greyhawk in the month of Planting. It was not uncommon to have freak rainstorms that turned all but the roads in the high quarter to a slop that was difficult for anyone to walk through. But this figure walked on, marching forward, determination showing in his strides. The figure trudged on, alone in the streets, as nobody dared venture outside.
Coming to a ragged, weak looking building, the lone figure stopped, looking left, and right, making sure there was nobody else. Upon confirming his solitude, he approached the door, and rapped on it with his knuckles: once, thrice, twice, once. After that, he waited. An arc of lightning flashed across the sky, and booming thunder seemed to shake the building. A small slit opened up, then closed, and then the door was opened from within.
"Ah. Ricard. So pleased you could join us. An hour late." A biting tone was uttered at the figure.
"Oh shut up Tirra. There were some unruly folk at the bar, I had to make them leave."
"Both of you! Hurry up! This is important!"
Ricard shed his heavy, soaked cloak, and followed the lithe elf down a set of stairs. Thunder shook the shack again, but the two paid it no heed. They walked down into a small, well lit council room.
Around the table were eight people, and Ricard and Tirra took their places around the round circular table.
"So what's so important, Vayne, that you call a council meeting in this freak storm?" Ricard said, a bit irritated.
"More than I wish to be happening." Said a solid man across the table. "Word on the street says that there's an invasion coming. And it's going to be big. Word says Volke wants his creeps living in here, and he's not being peaceful about it. He's making preparations for a full scale war. He isn't afraid either, so he's not making an attempt to hide his efforts from us. He'll be here in three months."
"So a war? That's it? We have the best defense in our world. We're the largest city in our world. We, the ten of us, are the ten most skilled individuals in what we do. Why in the name of the bloody Abyss did you bring us here to let us know of a war that's months away?" Tirra sounded like a cat being held in water as some milk was just out of her reach.
"That's the problem Tirra." Vayne replied bitterly. "I know what you say is true. Volke knows what you say is true. So my question is, why in the Abyss is he being so open about his preparations? It doesn't make sense."
This brought about a quiet air around the table. Everyone seemed to take this into consideration, and let their minds wander about why someone trying to conquer the city wouldn't try an ambush.
A small voice spoke from the side of the table. "Maybe he just wants us to think he's stronger than he is. Going against Greyhawk is ludicrous, and he knows it. Maybe he's just trying to seem confident so that we think he has a secret weapon... When he really just wants us to be worried. We should lay it to rest. Perhaps again in a month or two we could meet again. See how things are progressing."
Again, this was met with a quiet consideration, as everyone around the table mulled over this possibility.
"Very well. What Shensing says is accurate. We must not fret over possibility without confirmation. We shall send our spies to Volke's base of operations, and have them scout. Shensing, I leave you in charge of this. Everyone be sure to leave one at a time, to avoid suspicion. You first Shensing." Said the burly voice of Vayne.
Leaving everyone murmuring behind, Shensing bowed, and rose, grabbing his cloak, and stepping out into the street. The rain still poured, but Shensing didn't notice. He was too busy smiling. He had done his job.
---------------------------------
(OoC: Just a little tidbit to tide you over. Players, the start of this game is to be September first, one week from today. See you all then.)

Topic: Fave Music for Use in Tabletop RPG's
Subject: Music?
Well, one time I was playing a round of Xcrawl, and the challenges were set up according to musical inspirations... So we had some of the following selections:
AC/DC (Thunderstruck - Fighting Storm Giants)
Black Sabbath (War Pigs - Monstrous Boars)
Guns 'N' Roses (Welcome to the Jungle - Deinonychus in a Jungle setting)
Europe (The Final Countdown - Final Boss)
And a few others. As for personal taste, I've never tried it, but Amythestium seems like it would be a good band for creating some ambient music in the quest.

Topic: Memorandum
Subject: Following Suit...
Joanne, Dragon Mistress, DM... However you call her, her presence was felt among those that frequented this site. And with her passing into the arms of the earth, her presence will be missed. I am terribly sorry to hear about your loss, as - even though I did not know her personally - I feel as though she was a great friend of mine.
So, as a tribute, I would like to offer this: a song that we sang in our high school choir for a rememberance day celebration... I believe it fits.
Remember Me: Christiana Georgina Rosetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
Though the physical has met its maker, the spirit lives on in us.

Subject: Gboy going away for a while...
Hey everyone. Just thought I'd throw in a little warning, I'm going to be touring the country starting on July 13th, and I will be gone until the second week of August or so.
To my DMs, Tann'Talas and Tiamat, please NPC my characters as you see fit, keeping in mind the personalities which have been established by them.
To my players of the Assassin Game, I will start the game as soon as I get back if I have all of your characters. Send them quickly, and I'll have a chance to look over them before I leave, so that everything is perfect by the time we're able to start.
I'll be around for a few more days, but packing and cleaning and work will take up a lot of my time. I figured I'd let you guys know before I suddenly disappear from the inn.

Upon review, the Bab requirement seems ridiculous for the class. So I'm going to waive it, for the flavor of the game.

Topic: Assassin Campaign (redux) Q&A
Subject: The List of People (with common knowledge)
Ricard Damaris:
Human Male
A retired adventurer, Ricard runs the Green Dragon Inn, the most popular establishment for foreigners coming to visit the city of Greyhawk. His hospitality has earned him a reputation that reaches out of Greyhawk, known almost all over the Free World. However, he is not afraid to wade in to a bar fight should it get too rowdy and endanger the rest of his guests or his personnel.
Tirra Aracia:
Elf Female
A relatively young elf, Tirra works as a shop clerk boasting some of the richest valuables that can be found for miles. A pretty face covers her razor sharp mind and tongue, and she is a shrewd negotiator who often makes twice of what she paid for any item. Despite her vast wealth, she keeps a smallish house to herself, though it does reside in the high quarter, rather out of place.
Vayne Hirochi:
Halfling Male
Vayne seems to have suffered from the old expression, "if you keep scowling, your face will be stuck that way." Always an intimidating person to look at, he is the head of the wizards guild, and is spoken of very highly by all his students, or those who go to him for advice. He rarely leaves his tower that any know of, and is never seen walking the streets. Late at nights, people often see coloured puffs of smoke coming from the top of the wizards tower as Vayne works away at some unknown magic.
Riggby von Hawsorch:
Human Male
Riggby is a priest who is high up in the church of Boccob, the city's main deity. A warm, wizened man with a small spot in his heart for orphans, he takes many active roles amongst the city, be it cleaning up the refuse, feeding the homeless, or delivering sermons. Recognizable wherever he goes in the city, everyone recognize him as the whole town attends the sermons on Godsday, where he delivers the sermon in the temple.
King Leonard Henway:
Human Male
King of the realm, Leonard lives in the largest house in the high quarter. He oversees the realm's actions, and controls Greyhawk. A jovial man, he is well known amongst the nobles, but not so much in the lower class of people. He often makes speeches in the market quarter, though they are often drowned out by the various sounds of the streets and other performers practicing their art at the time. Though he is well respected, he is not known.
Rhiann of the Forest:
Half-Elf Female
Rhiann is a does not directly live in Greyhawk, though she lives just outside. She often can be found to the west, across the river in the thick forest that lies just outside the city. Dutifully followed around by an Aurumvorax, Rhiann offers her services as a hunter, and a guide of the surrounding land, or a legend teller. She is difficult to find in the night, but she is very often found during the day.
Vanian Ironheart:
Dwarf Male
A very gruff, straightforward man, Vanian is considered the local missionary, and has not given up despite the lack of acceptance for what he preaches. A devout follower of Moradin, Vanian has bought a small house in the foreign quarter attempting to convert those who he speaks to to follow his god, claiming Boccob to be a god who is "unable to decide" anything for himself, and will not "take a stand" against the evil in the world. Though not listened to by many, he is allowed to go about his attempt.
Allison Strongarm:
Half-Orc Female
Allison is the head of foreign relations in the city of Greyhawk, both passive and active. The mercenary guild in the town is directly under her control, as are the docks, and she searches each of the ships which enter the harbor making sure there are no illicit goods which enter the city. A woman prone to violent mood swings, she is often listened to, and is given wide berth by those who do not know her when she walks the streets of Greyhawk.
Eleak Te'Shea:
Half-Drow Male
Eleak is the captain of the city guard. Found by Allison on one of the ships when he was simply a small infant, Eleak feels very close to her. Though his skin colour - the black of part of his heritage - raises some questions among the locals, he has never let anyone down before, and is very serious when it comes to the defense of his city. His inherent vision often leads him to taking the night shift, allowing him to see things much clearer, and not alerting any culprits of his presence due to a lack of torchlight. He often works alone, though is not afraid to ask for the help of his sergeants or new recruits, giving them aid in the skill of deduction as he works with them.

Topic: Assassin Campaign (redux) Q&A
Subject: Greyhawk: An Overview
General Overview:
The streets of Greyhawk, already thronging with merchants and rural customers in town for the annual market festival, can barely accomodate all the Boccobite and Cuthbertine pilgrims flocking to the city to honor the passing of Riggby, one of the founders of the city. It is in a temperate climate, with a bitter winter, but a summer that causes all the inhabitants to sweat profusely. Richfest, a merchant celebration that happens every year, is a week away, due to begin next Starday.
Calendar:
Greyhawk's Calendar consists of a week of 7 days:
Starday - Work
Sunday - Work
Moonday - Work
Godsday - Worship
Waterday - Work
Earthday - Work
Freeday - Rest
The annual calendar consists of twelve, 28 day months, with 4, 7 day festivals throughout.
Needfest (Winter festival)
Fireseek - Winter
Readying - Spring
Coldeven - Spring
Growfest (Spring festival)
Planting - Low Summer
Flocktime - Low Summer
Wealsun - Low Summer
Richfest (Midsummer festival)
Reaping - High Summer
Goodmonth - High Summer
Harvester - High Summer
Brewfest (Autumn festival)
Patchwall - Autumn
Ready'reat - Autumn
Sunsebb - Winter
Economy:
Greyhawk has a booming economy, even if all districts don't necessarily show it. The economy is not divided among all portions of the city, and many persons find themselves scraping for coin. The city guard are most notable for this, and will often accept bribes to turn a blind eye at an incident.
The coins used are as such:
Platinum Plate
Gold Orb
Electrum Lucky (discontinued)
Silver Noble
Copper Common
Bronze Zee (discontinued)
Brass Bit (discontinued)
Iron Drab (discontinued)
The discontinued coins were called back at the time of discontinuation to be melted down, and used for other purposes. Some of the coins though, are still coveted by collectors, and are very rare. The right buyer would likely pay a fairly large sum for the right coin.
City Layout:
The High Quarter is filled with several towering statues, large estated with small orchards in the back of many of them. The streets are well maintained. The city watch here is diligent, and would arrive within seconds should any obvious problem arise. An elite guard is held in reserve, and are only brought out for the most dangerous crimes. The high quarter's guards pride themselves in being honest and incorruptible, and where a bribe might solve a problem anywhere else, it's quite possible that an attempt will land the would-be dealmaker in jail.
Clerksburg contains mostly small (though well outfitted) buildings providing clerics and other scholars a place to stay during their times of pilgrimage, and when they are not tending to the church. However, the most notable structures are the massive temples dedicated to Boccob and St. Cuthbert. While the Boccob temple is slightly larger, they two are impressive. Another notable structure is the belltower, which is rung every six hours during the day. The watch is less diligent here, though it is possible for a squad of officers to be wandering through.
The Artisan's Quarter consists of densely packed streets, as the inhabitants all flock to try and buy goods from all over the free world. Greyhawk is often visited by artisans and merchants that come from all over the world, due to its active market and rich customers. The shops are densely packed, with no alleys passing between them due to the necessity of space. The guards often patrol the area, and each merchant often arrives in town with his/her own personal bodyguards.
The River Quarter by day swarms with labourers hauling cargo from distant markets to the local merchants in the Artisan's guild. One needs to walk carefully along the nothern street next to the Noble's Wall, to avoid being trampled by horse and wagon. By night, crime abounds, with several arrests being made nightly for larceny, indecency, and fighting the overtaxed system. The guards often hesistate going in to answer a call for help, and if they do show up they are often injured, or looking for a bribe rather than prosecution. The low buildings are in a state fitting the middle class, with everything very average looking in this quarter.
The Garden Quarter contains several large mansions similar to the high quarter, if not quite as ornate. However, there are large gardens which are preserved as a tribute to the land which was given up to make the city, maintained mostly by druids. The platiful orchards provide fruit for the nobles primarily, then the leftovers are given to the merchants to sell for a high price. While not often patrolled as a part of the daily rounds, guards can often be found strolling through the gardens, taking time to relax from their stressful job. Only for the most heinous crimes will they step into action, trying to stay away from it all.
The Foreign Quarter consists of modest accomodations meant for those who have slipped in to the free city, but have not yet attained a formal citizenship. There are often small racial groups that band together and create small communities inside the larger context of the Foreign Quarter. The most prominent building is the mercenaries hall, which is often filled with foreign fighters who do not take kindly to people raising trouble in their small neighbourhood, and often take trouble into their own hands, instead of summoning the city guard.
The Old City consists of the time before the founding by the prominent wizard Mordenkainen and his companions, when the city was struggling. Since the improvements, nobody has bothered to upgrade the slums, which are the most desperate part of the city, filled with beggars and workers who do not make enough money. The adjacent part of the old city is the thieve's quarter. The thieve's guild keeps a rather tight grasp on the goings on of the city, often bribing guards in advance to not show up at a designated location, while they take the law into their own hands, often making mockeries of the victim so that others will not follow their example.

Topic: Creator's Call!
Subject: Just as some confirmation...
We will be writing a full fledged adventure (beginning to end, initial incident, rising action, plot twists, climax, BBEG fight, resolution, opening for a new adventure) for this right? Not just like, a "Dungeon of the Week" kinda deal?
If you want samples, I could send you one over the next couple of days probably, just to get a feel, along with the proposal.
And assuming we're poor, and don't have the funds to buy your Campaign setting, do you think there's enough information on the site to be able to write these adventures?

Topic: Creator's Call!
Subject: Not right now but...
Well, I'm kinda busy this year, but I'm taking a year to myself next year to develop the creative aspects of my life... So I think this would fit quite well.
That being said, I wouldn't be able to help immediately, but come the late fall/winter I could try and work something up. Though I'm not too familiar with the Pathfinder setting, I'm rather well versed in 3.5, and to my knowledge they're not all that different, with the same basics and such.
I'd take the time to read up on your material first of course, before doing anything.
And I agree with Almerin, on the terms of the payment, and a copy of the published material.
But with all that being said, if you're still looking, I would be interested in this in a couple of months, when I free up. Feel free to contact me between now and then if you want to discuss anything about this. It sounds pretty fantastic.
