You meet in a tavern.



This WRETCHED HIVE of SCUM AND VILLAINY is where your MERRY BAND OF AVENTURERS plans their BIG ADVENTURES. Like the time you cleared those GIANT RATS out of old man Sauls cellar, or when you solved the NEFARIOUS THEFT of Grandma Macie's THIMBLEBERRY PIES.

The tavern is mostly empty, the night is young, so the barmaid is quick in bringing your MILK. This meeting has been called to come up with a COOL NAME for your adventuring crew, and share any ADVENTURE HOOKS that may have turned up on THE STREETS.

But before all that, you have to take ROLL CALL.

I'm not opposed to setting up a waiting list, so I'll leave this here.

Profession:

Background (Optional):

You have complete freedom here, as long as it fits in a lowtech fantasy setting. So, for instance, Billy-Bob the Frogman Bellydancer is an acceptable (although, perhaps unwise) choice, whereas KILLFACE the Zerg Machinegunner is not. Bear in mind if including background, the PCs are children of indeterminate age in a small village.

It'll be a basic players-post-actions-GM-posts-turn layout, I'll be rolling some dice to determan success/fail. The rolls will be transparent but there's little point or motivation for me to explain the system immediately. You will not be required, or even encouraged, to memorize any rules.

I have no qualms with trying to move the game a bit faster than that if everyone has their actions in, nor do I skipping someone if a turn is dragging too far past the 24 hour mark.

Spoiler: Waiting List (click to show/hide)

Should wonton adventuring prove fatal, it is advisable to have a ready supply of new cannon fodder.

1) Sheb (Sheb)
2) Veya Capacrasi (iceball3)
3) Godwin (Archangel)

Eh, I'm in

[Enzo]

Pretty sure this should be in RtD.

Yeah, I was on the fence about that. Same general format, but it'll be a bit more complex than the 1-6 rule of success RTD's use. Mostly to avoid the RTD issue of pushing a button being as likely to fail as doing a backflip while kicking a shark in the face.

Color: Ordinary, Nondescript Earth-tones; Brightly coloured waistcoat for performances.

Heh, I meant your colour as represented on the map

[techno65535]

Name: Susan
Race: Human
Profession: Weaponsmith's daughter (sword fighting (She practices with the weapons made))
Color: Pink
Background: Daughter of the best weaponsmith in the village. Pay no heed that he's the only weaponsmith in the village, he's still the best. Try as he might he just can't stop his daughter from watching him at his trade and trying her hand at making weapons herself. She's been drawn to books of the famous dwarven runesmiths of lore and has been trying to reproduce the art herself lately.

Oh, right.
Green anyway, apparently.

[Enzo]

Will update OP with characters, including descriptions of abilities and inventories shortly. There they are, imagine that.

Oh I forgot, there will be bad MSPaintings.

Feel free to proceed with your first actions, or arguing about a team name as you see fit. Let's get rolling. FIRST TURN GO!

[ein]

Ditch the hooded cloak. You never thought it looked good and it doesn't really help you hide yourself...
And listen in silence as the others deliberate on what to do next.

[techno65535]

Susan drinks from her glass then sets it down before asking, "What are we doing here again?"

[wolfchild]

Wishing he had brought a novel Asonn, bored with waiting suggests that the team should be called The swords of ignorance and then starts scanning his handbook

[techno65535]

Susan just stares at Asonn. "That's a stupid name! Why would we want people to think we're ignorant? And it doesn't have anything to do with what we do. I say we should be named Adventure Inc. And we need to get our own war-dog to be the mascot." Susan leans back in her chair and nods to herself.

[wolfchild]

Adventurors inc. will make people think we are the arm of some faceless, soulless organisation, but i agree with you on the dog, hmm you are right about my suggested name though, does Wardens of freedom sound

[techno65535]

Susan thinks on it for a bit before answering, "Better. I do like the 'Wardens' part, but not the 'Freedom' part. Maybe 'Wardens of Adventure' or 'Mystery'?

She ponders a bit longer before speaking again. "Wonder if we can get a talking dog that has trouble with her 'R's..."
