I am assuming that I need to roll for hp. The website didn't mention it.
Ah yes, I did neglect this point. We roll for starting HP, and reroll any 1s. The latter only applies to level one.

Okay. I think my character is ready to go--Benetolio the Human Magic-User reporting for duty.

Now some introductions to break the ice. My name is Shane. I'm 50 years old and just retired from the Air Force after 26 years of service. Married. Two teenaged kids (also gamers). Two cats. Besides RPGs I like to ride bicycles and play guitar, ukulele, and bass. We also do a fair bit of tent camping when weather permits.

I've been gaming since 1984. Like many others of that era, I got my start on 1st edition AD&D filtered through the lens of Basic D&D. I've played and enjoyed every edition of D&D and many of the clones that have come after, to include Swords & Wizardry.

At any rate, I am looking forward to gaming with you!

Hey all, I'm Charles and I'm in my mid-thirties living in the Pacific Northwest of the US, living my best outdoorsy life. I spend most weekends hiking or snowboarding, and the summer is filled with backpacking to alpine lakes. I've been gaming since I was ten, starting with AD&D 2e in my friend's living room. It's only been a few years since I started exploring other systems, and I've found that the old school mindset is most aligned with my own.

Also, fun tidbit, I'm a cartographer by trade but my live games almost always have the laziest maps possible. Except for my game of Cyberpunk Red where I actually modified a map of Anchorage, AK, for my players.
There is a tavern scene in the Gameplay thread to just get a few introductions out of the way. I'm happy to move into the module proper whenever you are.

Hi. My name's Alan, I'm in my 40s, living in New England. I practice intellectual property law, have a wife and children (hockey players), dog, cats. Have been playing TTRPGs since 1990, started with AD&D 2e. Currently I engage most with 2400, Maze Rats, and Tiny D6 games. Swords&Wizardry is a nice bit of nostalgic fun! I write games as much as I play them.

Hey all,

My name is Matt and I seem to be a long way from any of you down the bottom of the world in Sydney. I am a father of two and a Police Officer by trade.

Played a fair bit of D&D in the 80’s and early 90’s, as well as TMNT RPG. But did had a big break getting back into playing in my 40’s, mainly on here due to work and family.

Looking forward to playing in an old skhool style game :)

OOC:
It is of utmost importance to know what color hood Czespecem wears.
OOC:
Yet to decide that. He's not wearing a cloak now. Maybe it's in his pack.

Hello,

My name is Andrew. I am 30 and live in Oregon. I work as a quality control technician.

I played ttrpg for a while, they range from dnd to GURPS to more obscure ones.

I look forward to dying many times.

Czespecem's hood is red! Like a gnome, though he is firmly a dwarf.

Nice! I listened to the Hobbit recently (first "re-reading" since I was a kid), and Tolkien put emphasis on colors in a lot of places. Dwarf hoods were a fun one.

Nice alliteration in your most recent in-game, DM.

All, I'm making a small change to the character sheet. I'm adding Alignment next to Race, and adding a Total Weight and an Encumbrance/Speed chart in the inventory.

If you did not see this in the SRD, your "normal adventuring gear" weighs 10lbs. This does not include weapons, armor, or treasure.

Hello everyone!

My name is Daniel and I am probably the youngest one here, being 26 years old. I make a living as a business developer, essentially buying companies for a certain investment holding and helping raise profitability and revenues of these companies. Been doing similar stuff for 8 years now and oh boy, it was a ride.

As for other stuff, I teach social dances in my free time (mainly bachata sensual, brazilian zouk and argentine tango) and started playing TTRPGs from the age of 14, when I stumbled upon a Czech version of DnD called Dragon's Nest.

Been in a number of games since then, mainly Strategies or based on free roleplay, before changing servers and coming to here. I currently GM 2 games: Dungeon Crawl Classics (OSR game) and Heart: The City Beneath (highly narrative game that keeps the risks high, which I like).

This is my first foray into Swords & Wizardry, looking forward to playing with y'all!

Right now we're just waiting on Mathfuric's character and you to decide if you want to hire some hirelings, and then we can be off! No need to sit around chatting when there's loot to be... well, looted!

Let's discuss nightly guard shifts! This system doesn't have specific rules for sleeping or how long memorization or prayers take. I've always seen four shifts, implying somewhere between six to eight hours of sleep. Magic-users and clerics can use the last shift to pray or memorize, while elves and dwarfs can see during the middle shifts.

Which shift will your character generally take? Public

First Shift
Second Shift
Third Shift
Fourth Shift
(Optional) Fifth Shift

Clerics don’t have spells yet :(

I most likely will be offline from about Christmas until about New Years. @cowleyc, while I'm away please assume that Czespecem searches for traps and hits enemies with his shovel until he gets hurt, at which point he tries to hide behind Rogar or Brogan.

I will be active for the next ten days anyway
Dec 15, 2022 4:35 pm
I'll probably be busy throughout that week as well. Good money says we'll take a week off just to play it safe.
