"Session 0" thread

Here's Teallah, the diminuative, illterate, bawdy, foul-mouthed, hot-headed Bard with dreams of being famous across the Borderlands and the Empire. Aside from missing a background, should otherwise be mechanically sound and ready for play. Kinda squishy, not very smart, but banking on that Charisma to be incredibly intimidating and making the most out of that Loremastery proficiency to fake it like a pro.

That sounds awesome Wonderwaffle

Looks good Wonderwaffle, though the HP should be 5, not 6, due to the low Con.

Right you are! Fix'd!

I sent Aegis and kilgs PMs asking about their character sheets yesterday morning and haven't heard back from them. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow afternoon* we'll get started without them and they can jump in later if they join us.

*It'll take me till then to get the first post written.

Poll time till then, would guys rather arrive "on the road" with a couple hints about local settlements to pick your own destinations, or be dropped in near a settlement right off the bat? Either way it will be in "Civilized" areas, so chances of a hostile random encounter on the road, especially a high level one, will be extremely low.

Well an organic reason that we are all coming together would be good or are together would be good -- if that was already supplied my apologies its been a bit ;)

Well, I don't want to dictate your characters' motivations but, assuming you all have a general reason to be in the borderlands to begin with, travel is dangerous these days, with the legions who normally patrol and keep peace gone off to war. You are all arriving in the company of a larger caravan, which is now splitting off to go to different locations throughout the region.

Reasons to be in the region could include:
Looking for mercenary work along the border
Looking for criminal work in the cities
Searching for ancient elven artifacts or history
(For Elves) (For Dwarves) Seeking out adventure for its own sake
Seeking out a place to make a name for yourself, by any mean possible, and the hinterlands seem like a good place to start for some reason... (?)

I think the Ancient Artifacts and History would be very important to Elves and I would opt for that one if the other Elves agree.

I'm in agreement that hunting down ancient Argollëan artifacts seems a solid reason for Elf-y folk to be in the area, both for lucrative and historical reasons. Harper strikes me as a sort who'd fall in a nice middleplace there, preserving some of the more significant things while pawning off lesser artifacts for a fat paycheck for the party.

Alexander is always up for research.

Well I have a solid rapport with ToDream's character perhaps I introduced him to Elf friends of mine who were also interested in digging up that information that Alexander is interested in finding.

Not sure about the Dwarf's connection though but I am sure we can create some kind of bridge that seems plausible and basically organic in nature.

I've got an elf and human. The Elven tie-in is a good one.

Hey. Sorry. I had a very busy week RL. I’ll get caught up real soon.

Sorry folks. With the pandemic winding down, courts are back open and I got hit by a pair of trials. Will get back on track shortly.

Finally finished and threw a character into the character generation thread and submitted

Welcome back, nothing much has happened yet. Jump in whenever you like.
