Preserved Topic: RPG - Starting a new campaign III (Page 3 of 3)

I'll be there, but what time though. I am going out saturday night, so I cannot stay too late. 1750 is around the time I have to start getting ready, so if my character is introduced (which I serverly doubt) then we're going to have to make up some excuse about why I leave.

If our psyonist pops in at that time, then we could start a romour that we are the same person, that's why we're never seen together

Hmm...Skaarjj, you are in Austrailia, right? Not sure what the time there is...I think the time is set for 0700 GMT, but you'll have to ask V to confirm that. It shouldn't be any problem #working' your character in and out of the story...since the first 'phase' seems to be taking place in a nearby temple, and we have a 'base' of operations, your character could just return to base if necessary.

Of course, we need to buy supplies first... I suppose that means it's off to the marketplace...

Well...that's 5:00 PM to me...and I'll have to leave after 50 minutes if we start at that time...is that ok with everyone?

Skaarjj and I are in the same time zone... and I thought we were going to try for 0500? This Saturday I'm actually free later on, so the time is no big problem for me. But having Skaarjj leave 50 minutes after we started might suck. What about a compromise, say 0600?

Oh, and as for supplies, don't we start with supplies? I know Telana has everything she needs already. I think it would save time if everyone went through the PHB and picked out their own supplies. Then you can run the list by V and he'll figure out how much gold you have left. That's what he did for me.

I have no prob with 0600.

As for supplies...well, you'll see after the intro...I'm sure you'll be wanting some...

Can't wait *rubs hands together in anticipation*

GMT 0600 sounds fine for me as well. That way Skaarjj will get to play almost 2 hours as well But originally the time was set for GMT 0500 like Suho said.

Looks like everyone can play this weekend then. The first session with everyone there

Inition: If you want to I can run/walk your character through the intro before this weekend, so when you join on Saturday you won't have to start from the very beginning.

V: can you do that for me too, since I missed the last session? I'm going to be pretty busy, but maybe I can catch you on ICQ and work out a time. I'll give you my char sheet at that time.

Can I join in on that. I'm not used ot making up character sheets in OpenRPG, so my sheet's shite.

The only one who has 'finnished' the introduction so far is WS. Since the most of you hasn't finnished it yet I thought we could go through the introduction for all of you in the next session (WS could then sleep a little bit longer if he wants to as well ). The reason I thought Inition should finnish the intro before the session is because he can't join until late in the session. So if his character is allready 'in the game' he can join in the fun at once.

Skaarjj: if you have any problems with the sheet give me (or tiki?) a 'call' on ICQ and we'll help you sort it out

Cool, I've got no problems with going through the intro together. I had just thought it was an individual thing...

Still curious about this equipment that WS mentioned...

Well, I've just about been under a rock for the past month or so, because the fact that this is the third installment of the thread and I'm just now noticing. And I gotta say, I'm quite interested in playing with ya'll.

Except... I dunno how. Talked with V and WS over icq today, and got the starter info, so I've gone ahead and downloaded the handbook, and am currently trying to get open RPG downloaded as well. I've even got myself time to actually play when everyone else will, too. (imagine that)

So! What does everyone think? Seeing as how I have the chance to completely noobify an already established game, I'm more than willing to wait until a new campaign starts up and get my feet wet there. Or, if you all don't mind, I could get a backstory written (probably by later tonight, my time) and try and set up a character sheet.

Like I said, I've gotten the blessings, but I'm nervous about jumping in and slowing playing progress with an established group of players. Your call, guys.

Well, njuice, personally I don't have a problem with new players, and if we were going to have one you'd be a good addition. The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that we are already having problems getting everyone together at the same time. The more people we get, the less likely it is that we'll all be able to get together. If you have no problems with our current meeting time (originally 0500 GMT, but 0600 GMT this week), then I don't see a problem.

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about slowing us down... that would be pretty difficult at this point.

np njuice. welcome aboard!

I like it when new people join the campaign. Its kind of like life with new people being met by the charecters.

Background! Get that thing up, Njuice! Let's see that character!

Actually, Master Suho, with the way that V ahs set up our base, I don't think there will be any probs with people coming and going...though sometimes that can be annoying...the more, the merrier (well, within limits....I once played in a campaign with over 20 people...we had three DMs...that was chaotic!).

On with the game! Errr....yeah. Hehe...

Well, if you say so, WS--you know more than the rest of us do at this point. I'm interested in seeing how this is going to work out.

OK, njuice, get cracking! Less than 24 hours left now...

Actually, I think it's Vs call...and if he's ok with it, then I think everything will work out fine...

Master Suho needs more meds...and some shocktreatment. Come along Master Suho...I got a key to The Basement...hehe...

I think I'll leave him 'on' all night...hehe...

I've been told that I glow so much astronauts can see me from space at night...

*rubs hands together* Alrighty then, let's get this show on the road, eh? I'll give a background for my character, and we'll take it from there, eh? Okay. Let's have it then. (btw, I talked to V over ICQ, and he said everything should be cherry.)

Darius Met'rell

As all great stories begin, this one will as well; with the birth of a child named Darius, to a blacksmith and a house wife. They housed in a small town at the edge of the sea, and was often found to be the focal point of military actions, being it at it's key locale.

At the tender age of twelve, Darius was taught by his father the ways to world, in a home-schooled course that spanned til he grew to be 18. He was taught how to read, write, and more importantly, read people. Though raised in a strict and obiding household, Darius somehow found himself in trouble more than not. By the time he was 17, he'd been caught stealing from venders almost a dozen and a half times.

This infuriated his father, who tried everything under the sun to convince his son to use the skills he was given for much better than theivery. It was that summer of his eighteenth year that the wars broke out. The town was put on heavy alert, and during the middle of night, after a week of being in lock down, it was attacked from sea. Houses were burnt, churches demolished, innocent people killed. It was later blamed on a clerical error.

With the town in near-rubble, the remaining townsfolk buried their dead and moved on. Darius and his father among them, though he left behind his mother and two siblings, both toddler boys. However, the two ventured off the trail of the other travelers, and set to make home in the wilderness, remaining near the sea.

Four months after building and living in a small three room make-shift house on the beach, Darius' father was struck ill, and required medical attention. Making his way to the nearest town, he was picked up by a platoon of knights making a round. The judgement was swift and harsh, and was for Darius to be imprisoned for eighteen months. He sat in a prison for over a month, fully well knowing that his father was much too ill to take care of himself, and knew inside that he was now without family. As luck would have it, his transport date was set in conjunction with an organized counter strike by the defending kingdom. In admist the chaos, Darius escapes, and finds quick work as a merchant pirate three days later.

It's been two years since taking that job, and his ship has docked for good. The wars are over, and the work seems to have all but dried up. Taking his cue to do what he does best; wander, Darius leaves the 'Moonlight Inn' for the last time, and ventures away from the sea that he sometimes considers his third parent.

Hehe, I get creative and was on a roll, forgive the length of it

Anyways, that's my character, in a nutshell. If you all were in the middle of something, I left it open enough that I could be introduced in a lot of different ways, storyline is kinda important after all. He's a human, and a thief. But not a really bad thief, just bad enough to steal something to get by and not feel that bad about it. Being that as it may, I'll leave the next step to you guys. Lemme know what I gotta do, hehe.

Like I said, I've downloaded the player handbook, but I don't have a copy of adobe reader on my computer anymore, and I can't seem to get anything from any of the adobe servers. Maybe it's just me, maybe not, I dunno. I'll get it one way or another.

As for the time (alright, I'll shaddap in a sec), if my math is correct (and it rarely is...), I'll be meeting you folks at 11:00 PM Friday night, for me. I'm in the US, PST timezone, so I'm -8:00 GMT... again, by my math. If I'm wrong, lemme know. Like I said before, I've been living under a rock.

Happy hunting, folks.

The length? Did you read some of the other backgrounds? Don't feel the need to keep it short just for us (I never did)

Ah, a rogue. Yes, this party is shaping up nicely...

Funny thing is, I took stuff out of it. Hehe...

 

^

Well...a Rogue, ehhh? Haveta keep my eye on you...

You may want to take a gander at the 'page' that Tiki has set up...all our backgrounds can be read there...

So, a Rogues skills are welcome in the party! It's now well rounded...We have everything that we need!

Hack them thar Orcs...errr...yeah.

Olsson, what did I tell you about poking around with your sausage like that!

*Fingers tomahawk*

That's a nice sausage you got there...hehe....

njuice: Welcome to our merry fellowship! Don't leave anything out from the character background, we want to see it all

njuice-Nice, I'll add that a to the page when I get a chance.

Hey, are transcripts of the adventures gonna be available for everyone to read? That would be cool.

"The key to discovery lies not in mathematics, but in imagination."

I'll make a journal so you can follow our brave group of heroes through their adventuers in the dangerous world. They will be hosted at my-soon-to-be site or at Tiki's site.
