I'm still thinking on the character, I'm currently reading the relevant books as I was mostly unfamiliar with the system.
As for the setting, I didn't know much so I'm getting up to speed, I figured there are some links to Call of Cthulhu and Lovecraft (apparently the author took inspiration from Lovecraft)
Not a problem. :)

If I recall correctly, R.E.H and Lovecraft were pen pals and wrote back and forth often. So there's some of Cthulhu in Conan's dark corners, and some of Conan in Lovecraft's various writings too... In the extras for the 2001 version of Conan the Barbarian with Jason Momoa there is a fantastic extra clip that goes into the history of Howard, and the whole Conan thing. Worth a watch if can find it. :)

For Tydeus, I'm thinking Logan Lerman from his Percy Jackson days.

I all I was thinking of a pirate of some sort.
I need to do a bit of reading to see how it could work.

Let me know if you have some hints or tips :)

Well, there just so happens to be Conan the Pirate as a sourcebook, and the options are available in the Character Generator. :)

Overall, the Conan Quickstart is a good read to get a feel for the game too.

In terms of build, what kind of a pirate would you see him as? Blackbeard, Captain Blood, or the Sea Hawk? Or another I'm not thinking of? :)

Hi all. Thanks for the invite, I read over the other posts so I want to rethink some of my character choices a bit. I still like the idea of making an alchemist or a sorceress, but it seems I was too late and I don't want to step on any ones toes. I could just make one any way and let the RP be the real differentiating factor. Of course, if I'm missing something that would be great for the party/campaign I am open to suggestions.

Also: I have done PBP on discord before but a forum RP is new for me, so sorry if I make a faux pas.

Thanks for the tips I played with the generator a bit to figure how things work.
I don't have a pirate model so to say. I was thinking he was just part of a crew and ended tired of receiving scraps from their plunder.
So he left to get better bigger part of treasure.

Still have a few things to figure out regarding the character generator but I should be able to get something soon.

hehe Nothing wrong with that. :)

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I would say go with what you think would be fun. :) Even if it is similar to an existing concept, I'm fairly sure you won't play them alike, or make the same choices, so all should be good.

I've found folks here a very friendly bunch, so faux pas are easy to forgive. :)

Apologies for the delay, but I'll have my Warrior from Nordheim completed and posted by tomorrow.

Looking forward to it. :)

I'd like to get things rolling soon, so the sooner I can review characters, the sooner we can get into the meat and potatoes of it. :)

I think I did this right. I think Zoe Kravitz would be who plays Yunet.

Nice. Who would play Silax? :)

@Squadfather44 - How's it looking? :)

Almost finished reading the books

@rvhhh - I was playing around on Midjourney (AI Art), and this is what it gave me when I described Yunet as this:
zoe kravitz as a Stygian warrior from Conan using with a Punch Dagger strapped to her leg and a Punch Dagger in her left hand held in defensive posture, photorealistic

So, it doesn't do exotic weapons well, but overall I'm impressed... LOL

Yeah, pretty good overall. Definitely not a front liner, but this looks very close to how I pictured Yunet. It kind of makes me wish they had a movie with Zoe Kravitz as a similar character.

@Squadfather44,@Camilla - How are things coming? If close to having things together, I would like to get started asap, since not a lot of skill rolls, etc. at the initial few posts at least.

I shall update my sheet later today.
