Character Generation Thread

He grows it all my friend, the fun and the food. Food-wise he makes a lot on lions mane mushrooms, he grows some high end stuff in a clean room there, pretty cool set up.

I think the lesson here is everyone needs to slow down and take the time to chase the boobies.

When did you end up getting your first car?

Oh, I got a hand-me-down station wagon at 15, but this would have been MY car.

The first car I was ever allowed to drive on a regular basis was when I was a senior in High School. It was a 1952 DeSoto. That was in 1965. Now I drive a Hyundai Sonata. Probably the best car I've ever owned and I've owned a lot of 'em.

My first car was a Buick my Grandma handed down to me and it was a sweet ride, but then my dad traded a box trailer for a beat up Datsun 280z and I restored it top to bottom... The good ol' days.

My first car was a mini. Classic British car. Bought it for £80 from the spares and repairs adverts in the local paper. It had been sitting in a garage for 9 months unused. Most fun car I ever drove

Only got my license a year ago at age 31. When I was younger I didn't have the money for it (it's pretty expensive in Denmark, I reckon I paid just north of 3000 dollars for mine) and after I moved to Copenhagen it was just easier to bike or use public transportation. But with a small kid that is a major hassle, especially after moving out of the city.

3000 bux for a license?? Wow, that's wild!

You know, this is something I love about play by post, as an egocentric Californian I always assume that if someone speaks English online that they probably live down the street from me somewhere, but in reality nearly everyone I play with is scattered around the world. I think it's very cool, pbp uniting the world one adventure at a time ;)

Yeah it amazes me that not everyone here is American or English. Literally playing with people on opposite sides of the world from each other

Fox, I think that we're just short your entries and we can get this thing underway.

EDIT: Disregard, you just don't have them in the character sheet yet. I'll go ahead and start things off.

Oh crap sorry I’ll put them on a sheet

Did you guys buy armor for your characters, or are level 0 pcs usually unarmored villagers.

Never mind... if 100 coppers is 1 gold like B/X it's unlikely any of us can afford even leather.

You know, I didn't even ask if we could buy gear with our starting coin. I'd at least like to get some torches and a 10' pole...

That's fine. You can purchase whatever you can afford.

Yeah, just some mundane adventuring gear if we can.

I've loaded my guys with some mundane stuff. The list I chose from included Rations, a large or a small sack, torch, flask (wineskin is too expensive) and flint & steel. There may be a couple of other things but they are not essential and I find what I've listed above to be the most essential. I assume there is nothing wrong with collecting the gear of fallen comrades. And since they are comrades it means they can very easily share non-consumables like flint and steel. And I know we're all used to carrying a week's worth of food but our characters are peasants who normally get by on a single day's worth of food over a period of 3 days.

I didn’t even think of adventuring gear. I’ll see what they can afford now

What's the coin values fr DCC; I couldn't find it in the quickstart rules book?

Is it the standard 1gp = 10sp = 100cp, like in BX D&D?

I was just looking at the equipment lists. Sacks and candles is about all I can afford I think

I’ve outfitted all four of my funnel with a sac, chalk and candle each. Rations for the three that didn’t have them. And the two with more copper. Got a pole and a flint and steel respectively
