Ok, so I sat down to make the character, and I admit to being a little lost. I wanted to do a Tech/Gunfighter. Fill the one role we're missing, and maybe round out the crew in a rough situation. Is that spreading myself too thin? Because I can't seem to build a character that will be decent at either role. I really enjoyed the idea I had, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm out of points by the time I make it to the actual skills section.

I have 8 traits, four good, four bad. The end result is a -2 over all. After stats, I have 6 points left. Maybe my stats are too high? I'm thinking a failed Agent type on the run. Weapons training and Tech skill beyond the norm.

AGI: 8
STR: 6
VIT: 4
ALERT: 8
INT: 8
WILL: 6

Thats my set up. Should I lower my base stats? Are skills more important in the beginning? To make the character able to actaully fill the role, I mean.

Sorry folks, work has shat on me heavily the last few days. I'll work on a sheet tonight. Gotta say, the buying dice thing is an interesting way to do things. Kinda stoked to see it in action.

*evaporates*

Some of you have pm's you may or may not have responded to already. We need answers to finish up character sheets.

Some of you may or may not even have a character sheet. Its uncertain, because your DM"s certainly don't have it. *pointed look*

Intro post is being worked on. So for, so good for this weekend.

EDIT: No replies here. I only posted here because I don't know if Jozan has seen the new thread or not.

When thes games ran last I hadn't actually seen the source material. Since then I've fallen in love with the world and characters. An rpg set in that 'verse might be fun, if you don't mind takin' another chance on me, Alacrity.

Happy Birthday, Silent.

We're keeping this one fairly simple. Standard players guide deities and such. Once I've got the hang of things, we might go deepr on the lore. I'll apologize to everyone again, but this  is my first time out, so we're trying not to be too complicated.

On an unrelated note, dragon-soul won't be able to join us. That still leaves us with five people though, so we're still in a good spot.

Glad to have you on board Schnozzle.

edit: I demand a  tango

Yes its a new roleplay. If you really want in, come up with a character concept. Plot hook is on the first page. I'll pm you character creation rules.

To help get ideas flowing, as well as give you an idea for our overall tone, here's the plot hook. Hope you enjoy.

You and a select few others have been contracted to protect a caravan. It being unusual to spend money on protection in the area, you've set out to gather information on what's changed. The local inn being an obvious first stop, you're pointed to an elderly patron holding a jug of something you'd rather not get too close to. You hurriedly ask if he has any information.

The old man takes another swig, wiping his mouth on his sleeve (which is rapidly running out of usable space), and gives you a fairly nauseating grin. "Oh I'll tell ya. I knows everythin' that goes on around these parts. We ain't had bandit problems for years. Oh sure, a few fellers from the north with more muscle 'n sense would group up and try an pull something, but they don't make 'em too bright up there. People mostly jus' laughed when the Auxi Morons came ridin' thru." He shakes his head, looking a bit more serious now. "That all changed around the last harvest. Word is, some new feller showed up, put his boot up the arse of the old leader, and crowned himself the new duke of dastards. Ever since then, folks gotta tread lightly around them. Only way for mos' folk to deal with 'em now is to git out while the gittin's good." He sighs, staring off into the distance. "Nowadays, ain't nobody mess with the Last Chance Gang."

Ok, this one is on me. I was unclear in my initial round of pm's. In my excitement, I've mislead a few of you, and you have my apologies.

We're going to try and keep things fairly simple, as this is my first time acting as DM. Grugg is here as well, but he's got his hands full with real life, and answering all my asinine questions. So for this one adventure, we're not allowing too much insanity. We've already had to say "No" to a few of you, and I hate that I have to do that, but its all a bit much for me to keep track of my first time out.

Well, with character creation. All bets are off for plot.

So while we definitely want you guys to have characters you want, and my earlier statement about not deliberately punishing the party still stands, we were thinking more along the lines of tweaks in swapping class skills, or chaning how things work in minute ways.

We defintely want to keep hearing from you though. If you have a smaller change you want to run by us, go ahead and ask.

Let us know what you're all thinking, folks.

Name Subject to change. Here is a thread for the party to start planning with each other. Sorry for the delay in providing a space. Have at it.

Yo! I joined! I realize there is, as of yet, no proof of this, but rest assured, this is, indeed, a game in which I am playing!

That said, my predecessor didn't do much with the character, and we're in a weird transition spot with the story. With GM's permission, I shall await the next update to post. Hopefully something in there will give me something to go on.

Dude, those dragons are on frickin' point. Thanks for sharing.

Have you ever tried Celtic designs? I think you'd do well at those as well.

*evaporates*

No you're not.

I know its probably bad form to interrupt a qna thread I'm not in. But Olan? +1 for being an awesome evil DM. Wish I had one just like you when I game.

Like a lot of people, I got here while searching for name generators. Specifically, th elven ones. (They are quite good by the way.)

The second or third day there was a chat room open. I was bored, so I created an account and logged in. Was welcomed by Pit F(r)iend, and an ol' werebear. Made chatting with them an almost daily occurence, as I didn't have anyone irl to talk about DnD, or Magic: The Gathering with. Ody convinced me to start in the posting games. Then I slowly eased into the rest of the site.

Still remember those first months with great fondness. We were just a bit busier then, though I'm told it had nothing on the 'Golden Age'. Alway someone who didn't mind logging in and just passing some time. So thanks again, Ody. And you to Pit, if you're still lurking around here.

(On an unrelated side note, some of these fixes are coming in super handy, Olan. Specifically, the top 30 thread updates, instead of five. Thanks so much for all the hard work.)

Innmates lurk, they never truly leave.

Definitely interesting.  A more modern chat may get more people logging in.

Happy Bithday.

Hangin out in Dragon Chat if anyone wants to drop by while we wait on the gathering later.

I do mean anyone, not just Trilogy players. Come on by.

My mistake. *Cheshire Cat Grin*

Isn't it about time we removed the voting bar on the home page? rpggateway has been dead for awhile now....

*evaporates*

Smash. Smash all the way. If that doesn't count under the rules.... MKX and Injustince 2 were pretty good. I like Soul Calibur as well.
