You have an AWESOME username

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been commenting, was at a party today so lot of stuff going on. Anyway, I'll read through things tonight and comment.

One thing: the virtue of fortitude + vice of wrath is usually a combination for criminals. I basically picture fortitude as the thing the devs put down when they make a plain evil bastard and can't figure out what the good part of them would even be.

I disagree. Fortitude is described as sticking to your ideals no matter what others might do about that. It can work for evil people like fanatics, but it doesn't apply everywhere. You can, for example, have a mafioso with Justice as a Virtue, that sticks to the code of honor at all costs and wants to punish those who break it. Or Prudence, it's a good one for a line of work where rashness can mean death.

Hell, you can have a Morality 1 psycho with a Virtue of Charity.

Point taken. Still, as I remember, the gang banger NPC has the combination of fort + wrath, so I think they could have picked a better one then.

That's because of the way they are summarized - they need to be able to stand up for their gang and not rat them out, cue Fortitude, and since they need to maintain their street cred by beating up anyone who looks at them funny, they get Wrath.

[Fniff]

Hrm. Okay, now that you've explained it to me, it makes sense.

[Kansa]

So when are we planning on starting this?

[BFEL]

Er Fniff was my Character rejected or what? The sheet is complete and he's named so I'm not sure why he's not in the "named characters" section.
Or any section at all actually.

[Broken]

When will we start?

[Fniff]

Here's the situation.

We are going to play on Roll20 at 10pm GMT Thursdays or Saturdays, whichever is most convenient. I'm afraid that anyone not on the list isn't going to start out in the game. However, there is going to be a wait list for player death/missing players. I imagine we will either start it this week or the next depending on when we want to play. I'm going to be setting up a vote now.

Remember, I'm new at GMing in the storytelling system and new to Roll20, so there might be some awkward moments while I look up the rules on something or try to work out the interface. 

[BFEL]

So lemme guess, Mr. Wrightley didn't quite fit the current campaign?
I'm not mad that I didn't get picked, I'm just looking for the answer as to why, which I think I already guessed.

Though could you PM me after the heist thing is done or you otherwise end up with a campaign/chronicle that he WOULD fit in?

[Fniff]

Certainly. Anyway, the main reason you didn't get picked was partially because of the oddness of it, but also because I do want to keep this limited to four or five players because I find that having a higher amount then that just leads to a lot of talking and not much playing.

[Hugehead]

So any idea when we'll be having the first session?

[Remuthra]

Now? Next year? 62 AD?
