Let's get the character making underway, folks. If you aren't familiar with Greyhawk, permit me to give you a primer. (Disclaimer: I did not write it, I merely found it online and decided that it was useful) This document provides an overview of the Greyhawk setting and 5E rules for sub-races and deities. It also has a few other tidbits, including an origin table (to determine what part of Greyhawk your character comes from, of course).
Sep 19, 2019 8:05 pm
I'm either going to be, depending on party needs/wants,

Twill Teak a Halfling Folk-Hero Rogue, from the Kingdom of Furyondy (11)
or
Thaddeus Sidirourgos a Half-Orc Guild Artisan (metalsmith) Cleric,born and raised in the Grandwood Forest (91)

Hello all! Thanks to WhtKnt for the invite to the game!

I am minded to play a tempest domain cleric (seems fitting to a nautical themed adventure). But happy to switch it up to accommodate other players.

Seems my weekend reading is 58 pages of Greyhawk... ;-)

EDIT: that gives
4d6 - ( 5, 5, 3, 4 ) = 17 -> 14
4d6 - ( 5, 2, 2, 4 ) = 13 -> 11
4d6 - ( 2, 3, 2, 4 ) = 11 -> 9
4d6 - ( 6, 3, 6, 5 ) = 20 -> 17
4d6 - ( 4, 6, 3, 5 ) = 18 -> 15
4d6 - ( 5, 2, 4, 4 ) = 15 -> 13

Thanks for adding me in WhtKnt! I will likewise be reading up on Greyhawk lore this weekend!

I'm thinking either an Elf Sorcerer or a Dwarf Fighter.

Stat 4 = 11

I heard that there are a couple new backgrounds in the campaign book. Are those fair game or should we choose from other books?
Sep 19, 2019 10:07 pm
They are fair game. They are the Fisher, Marine, Shipwright, and Smuggler. Let me know if you are interested in one of these backgrounds and I will give you details.
Sep 19, 2019 11:28 pm
The Marine background sounds good for a fighter.
Sep 19, 2019 11:54 pm
I'm interested to see Shipwright and Smuggler.

Big change up. I'm going to be a half-elf entertainer rogue. I used the same 11 roll before to get a new birthplace from the elves column not the Halflings column.

Twilliam "Twill" Teak a Half-Elf and familiar traveller Storyteller and Puppeteer (and Rogue), from the free and independent city of Dyvers.

Are we doing any type of trinket for lore/background?
Sep 20, 2019 8:55 pm
No, but I will be giving you some information based on your background. You are not required to use the background tables. You may choose an origin (and Saltmarsh is, of course, available as an option) if you desire.
Sep 20, 2019 9:05 pm
Alright, I think I'm going with:

Oloric Hammerstone, Mountain Dwarf Fighter, Guild Artisan (Stone Mason), from the Independent Town of Highfolk.

Unless there are any objections.

I have submitted Pebelmis Kurcot for DM approval. He is a human tempest domain cleric of acolyte background.

The brief backstory is as follows:

Pebel is a follower of Procan, and was trained as an acolyte at the cathedral of Procan in Ironport. On completing his test, and being accepted as a cleric of the order, he has tasked by the bishop with delivering a message to the priest of the temple of Procan in Sasserine. Having delivered that message he has now traveled up the coast to Saltmarsh. He is planning to take the overland route back to Ironport via the great city of Greyhawk, which he has never seen.

EDIT: a couple of specifics to have confirmation on please @WhtKnt, firstly I've swapped a warhammer for a trident (it's actually less powerful, but more fitting to the background), secondly I've taken Aquan as a language (again to fit the background) - not sure if the latter will be game-breaking for this campaign, so let me know - happy to swap it out.

Sep 21, 2019 1:59 pm
@discourage: Neither should be a problem. Aquan will actually be a boon in some parts, and the trident is a good fit.

By the way, who has played any of these adventures before? It won't have any bearing on your inclusion, I'm just curious.

It’s a pleasure to be here with you all tonight, tomorrow, and two weeks time. Let the merriment take hold. As I introduce The Snapping Line’s proprietor" *Twill takes out a hand puppet in royal robes of purple a silly sideways crown and a long large nose* The patrons roar.

Twilliam Teak starts his shows at The Snapping Line tonight. He stays a fortnight and he’s on his way again. Shares the stories he’s found and the people he’s met. He likes the crowd of mariners. They’re always open to share their own stories as if they’re competing with Twill. Twill’s happy to hear them happy to retell them. He shows people who are interested the puppets he’s made of them since the last time he was around. Enjoy the show.
Sep 23, 2019 5:53 pm
Oloric hails from Highfolk, a member of the Mason's Guild there. His guild has a contract with the Copperlock dwarves operating a mine nearby, and he was sent to fulfill some of the obligations of that contract. He's a bit gruff, focused on his work, and proud of his attention to detail. He has little patience for those who's work ethic falls short of his own, but under his rough exterior he's a good dwarf who'd go out of his way to help someone in need. And grumble about it the whole time.
Sep 23, 2019 10:58 pm
If we could get characters finished by this weekend, that would be fantastic. I am rather anxious to start this one.

I have submitted my character Dorsa "Zook" Silverthread.
Nov 25, 2019 6:16 pm
Hello all!

Would someone be able to drop a quick list of the characters currently in the party? In checking characters, the only that will show for me is Dorsa.

I'm looking forward to getting to in game with you =)

If we're sticking to the PHB, I'm thinking of a dwarven cleric of Moradin, with the Sage background.

I do have a question, though. I'd like to apply the Knowledge Cleric's "Blessings of Knowledge" bonus to Arcana and Religion, but the Sage background already grants skill proficiency in Arcana. May I swap out the Sage background skill of Arcana and replace it with something else (ie Investigation)?

The DM wrote this under character generation info. Generate your character using 4d6 and drop the lowest, arranging as desired.
You should be able to arrange them as you like.

Dec 15, 2019 3:24 am
Oh well maybe not -- I might be confusing things -- I thought we were 5th level with 10,000 gold but maybe that his WhtKnt's other game only.

But yes I was about to ask for clarification on that as looking to validate that and could not find it anywhere. So are we starting at 1st level and adhering to all the normal 5e 1st level rules?

Note clarification on this and acquiring equipment are all I have left to do before posting my character as when building higher level characters I always plot out their advancement so all I have to do is dial things back 4 levels if we are starting at first level.

Alright, I'm all caught up. If the warlock is out, that means the ones left are a dwarf cleric, a dwarf druid, an elf rogue and a half orc fighter. I'm probably going for a sorcerer or wizard to fill in the arcane specialist spot, but it seems the group could use some frontline beef, in which case I could whip up a paladin.

Edit: Stats rolled are 13, 15, 4, 10, 17, 14. Got a good idea of where to go with these, will submit my character soon character submitted

Feng is a mountain of a Half-orc. He easily weighs in at 200 pounds and probably more. He towers over most at almost 7' tall. He has that grayish skin shade, sloping foreheads, jutting jaws, and prominent teeth. His face and arms show many scars that Feng doesn't at all try to hide. To him they are battle badges.

Outfitted in chain mail with a shield he is ready for battle. His halberd is his favored weapon but he keeps two handaxes handy. With a backpack over his back, he is ready to take on the world.
