Waiting on more info before solidifying my character. Do not mistake my unfinished character for apathy.

I would want more info for skills before committing or not.

By the ones you choose I meant choosing abilities where it says you can change it, like the Fae skills.

Ah.
A bit vague.

[Cheesecake]

Okay, so these are the first characters:

Tav (Taricus) (Drow) (Construction)

Muliebris (Alexandria) (Fae) (Reclamation)

Derrod (swordsmith04) (Human) (Survival)

Peter (harbingerjm) (Fae) (Exploration)

The rest will be on the waitlist if someone drops out or someone is killed. I've chosen them by prioritizing that all the departments be filled.

Also, questions I may have not answered:

GrizzlyAdams: Are Dwarves still Stoneculi? Yes, but they prefer to be called dwarves, after an old miners myth. Stoneculi are basically stone golems but with a more fleshy appearance.

Swordsmith04: Tech Level: Yes, it is medieval low-magic. There are things like crossbows and potions, but no wands or sorcerers. "Magic" items or artifacts exist, but are very rare.

More info on skills:

Basically what I said before. For example, the human skillset: +1 to Divining, +1 to all diplomatic attempts with Humans, +1 to skill of choice.
 
You don't add new ones; you add the ones listed here to the character sheet, and you change the last one to whatever you want, in reason of course.

Ex: +1 to Divining, +1 to all diplomatic attempts with Humans, +1 to Sword Combat.

Sorry if it isn't displayed clearly in the OP. Game will start tomorrow (hopefully) if there are no more questions. In the meantime, I'll write the backstory for the game.

[flame99]

How is the waitlist order determined?

[Cheesecake]

Basically I'll try to fill the spot with a player of the same department.

[Alexandria]

Well that rules the carbon copy of me from joining any time soon. ( I'll add the back story shortly been a little busy. )

Turn 1: A Whole New World

Your party and your carriage soon arrive at Bleakfallow, a large plains with plenty of wildlife like deer and bison. To the north are vast forests with pine and redwood, the Bleakwoods. To the East is a mountain, and when the Sun rises, it rests above the peak and watches over Bleakfallow. When Bleakfallow was under the Irongrasp's rule, many outposts were set up on the Sun Peak. Mining outposts, research labs, and such. To the West is a swamp, and old rumors tell of a mysterious cave in the heart. To the South, from where you came, is the Kingdom of Irongrasp, nearly a weeks travel.

To get things started, you must design the initial town. Each family requires shelter. Each family consists of four members, all of working age. One family requires one ration per week. Building materials for all Irongrasp blueprints, at the moment, require Lumber, Stone, Supply (work materials and tools, etc.). Other requirements will be listed if you design your own buildings. Lumber may be accumulated by taking wood to a Lumber Mill. Stone can be obtained from a Quarry, as can other minerals. However, Quarry's take a long time to construct. Fortunately, there are abandoned Quarry's on the Sun Peak. Supply can be created from Workshops, or requisitioned from the Frontier by request.
Buildings:
Caravan


Workforce:
10 Families (Human) (Untrained)
5 Packs (Fae) (Hunting Proficient)
5 Broods (Drow) (Construction Proficient)
5 Families (Dwarves) (Mining Proficient)

Building Supplies:
50 Lumber
50 Stone
100 Supply

Areas:
Sun Peak (Mountain) (Abandoned Outposts) (Abandoned Quarry)
Bleakwoods (Forest)
Unexplored Swamp (Swamp)

Spoiler: GM Notes (click to show/hide)

1. Packs, Broods, etc. are all just the same as families, as in they consist of four.
2. Being Proficient at something means that they will have a hard time training in another skill, while Untrained means that you will learn faster.
3. You and your workers are all equipped; as in, all fighters have weapons, all builders have tools, etc.

I vote we set up somewhere between the peak and the woods, preferably as close to a river as possible and on flat open land.

Anybody else got a suggestion?

[swordsmith04]

I vote we set up somewhere between the peak and the woods, preferably as close to a river as possible and on flat open land.

+1. Preferably a river than leads back to Irongrasp or somewhere else in the frontier.

When we've chosen our colony site, send two of the Fae packs out into the plains, hunting those deer and bison. Have them take a wagon or two from the caravan to haul the carcasses back. They'll take two families of humans along to help and teach some basics of hunting.

The families have their equipment, but what do the characters have? (For that matter, what do the Fae use to hunt? Spears, bows, their bare hands/paws, etc?)


Derrod will take a bow and a quiver of arrows and go looking for a path up to the old quarries. Sounds like part of my job description. (If the bow and arrows aren't available, he'll just grab whatever weapon the Fae hunters use, if any. If they don't use weapons, he'll look for a big stick or reasonably sharp rocks while he's searching.)

If I find a path, I'll lead the dwarves up to the quarries.


On the colony; I'd suggest building the shelters first, then setting up a lumber mill and a workshop and going from there.

Seeing as the Fae, Drow, and Dwarves all have specific skillsets, I think it's fair that the leader of the departments they fall into (Survival/Reclamation, Construction, and Survival) has control over what these groups do. The humans, being untrained, can be used for anything by any of us.

Also, have three of the human families go cut down some wood from the Bleakwoods. Just because we don't have a lumber mill yet doesn't mean we can't cut a few trees down.

GM: How long are the turns, anyway? Families need one ration a week (the Dwarven families half a ration per week, presumably), how many turns do my hunters get to gather/kill enough food?
