Good Day everyone!

Thank you for joining my campaign.
Few important starting notes.

Everyone in the party knows each other already. You have worked and traveled with each other for a while.
Your character might still have secrets that they keep from each other still.

Please take a look at Information
It has all of the homebrew rules and other important information.

Please post a new thread with your name and your Character name in https://gamersplane.com/forums/10780/.
This thread will be yours to post character information. The first post will be your Character sheet. We can edit stuff as we go.

I believe most of you are Veteran players but a few of you are new to Gamersplane.
If you need help with character creation please let me know.

If you need a character sheet you may choose from one of these two.

Hey hey, so excited about this. Can you tell us a bit more about the campaign? Mainly, what kind of horror game is it? Or if that's too difficult to describe, what are some movies/games/etc. that are similar in feel? I have a few character ideas, and knowing the horror type would be very helpful.

Also, both of those character sheets look the same to me...?

I plan on making it a mix of Gothic Horror, Slasher Horror, Eldritch Horror and such. Think Van Helsing mixed Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. Lovecraft style monstrosities.

Both Character sheets might be the same I took them from the Public Repository of Custom Games Sheets.


Don't think about a character to put in a horror setting. Think of a character who was in a fantasy setting and now has to deal with horror.

Hello hello, glad to be here. I was thinking either Arcane Trickster or SoulKnife would be pretty fun to play, especially as a Changeling.

What a way to start the new year!

Can you still change the game name though? It's spelled "Bargains" and we're going to have to look at it for a few years to come! :D

I have not thought of a concept just yet, step 1 was getting in the game and there was a lot of interests so I didn't want to get my hopes up. Off to bed now, tomorrow is a new day in a new year for a new character!

Let's try them Rollies

Edit post Rollies: I believe I'll take these, unless I've messed something up with the formatting

I would prefer Arcana Trickster over Soulknife. I am not a huge fan of psychic characters.
Jan 1, 2024 3:06 am
Thank you, Khulod, for telling me.
Which brings up another few points.
I will try my best with spelling and grammar.
I am not perfect. I will try to use QuillBot at times to check my work.

I also plan on using an AI bot at times to help come up with a more vivid description than I am capable of.
AI can be a little bit wordy, but it does better than me.
I will type a description of what everyone sees, then in Out of Character explain without as much detail.
I also have a tendency to capitalize words that I deem important.

If you are confused about something or something does not make sense, ask, and I will try to clarify.

Let's roll!!!

EDIT: oops, looks like it's: 14, 10, 12, 14, 10, 15

Not the best numbers, but better than 27 point buy I think, so I'll take it I guess

I like to play a gish, so I'll probably do something like a warlock, but honestly, I dunno. Might also depend on what else the rest of the party plays.

Are we starting at lvl 1 or lvl 3? Game info says level 1, but information thread says level 3.
Jan 1, 2024 9:37 am
Time to kiss Lady Luck. Okay Stats. Nothing to write home about. Stats: 15, 14, 14, 11, 11, 10. I want to steal Alexeij's 18.

I see what you mean there @grifter730. Sometimes rather important to choosing a character. Hmm. Level 1 or Level 3? Should ask as it is going to come up. GM. How are you doing HP generation?

GM. Any particular deity(s) your using? or is that very open?

Indeed, I want to steal that 18 from last night's build too, lol. Arcane Trickster is fun, especially if we start at level 3. 20 Char Lore Bard (depending on which version of Changeling is used) with a penchant for Mage Hand is also very sexy and not that different, roleplay wise.
Jan 1, 2024 12:10 pm
We are going to start at level 1. You guys will get to level 3 fairly quickly, though.
Quote:

Max HP level 1 roll or average after.
Quote:

Open, Pick who ever makes sense to you.

Is everyone able to start a thread in Character Sheets or do I have to?
I am not the best with all the forum Permission and such on here.

Well, if we're on the topic, I do want to warn you that ChatGPT throws out some of the most soulless text imaginable. There is absolutely no feeling behind it, just a formula generating the same structure over and over. It's quite recognizable when you've seen it a few times. It's so quirky and fake that I rather see someone try their best in flawed English (not my first language either) rather than copy-paste ChatGPT. I've seen a professor describe it as 'textbook example English' which I think is very much on the money. It's academic English, not literature English.

Anyhow, on to throwing some dice!

Edit: aaaaand I'll take the point buy, thank you very much.

Edit 2: Could someone quickly help me with these abbreviations?
Race - ERLW Marks, VRGR, AAG and MoT not allowed.
Background - SCC, AAG, DSotDQ not allowed.

Hmm. VRGR is VAN RICHTEN’S GUIDE TO RAVENLOFT, ERLW is Eberron: Rising from the Last War, AAG is All About Gaming, Mot is Mythic Odysseys of Theros for races I think. Smiles. I'm playing straight Human.

ERLW is Eberron: Rising from the Last War
VRGR is Van Richten's Guide To Ravenloft
AAG is the Astral Adventurer's Guide.
Mot is Mythic Odysseys of Theros
SCC is Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos
DSotDQ is Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen


I am going to add Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants to that list as well.
I have not looked into Bigby Glory to the Giants yet. Don't know what it fully brings.

Pretty much any Background that gives a free Feat is not allowed.
Jan 1, 2024 4:18 pm
Woot. I was close on the abbreviations. :)
Ouche. Changelings looks to be on the no no list.

It says ERLW Marks, as in the Marked Houses which count as races. Though if it's the entire book now no problemo, I'll adapt and probably dip into Warlock for Mask of Many Faces (if multiclassing is allowed)
Jan 1, 2024 4:24 pm
Just the Marks. The other ERLW races are not bad. The Marks just give those races a pretty big buff that others don't get.

Multiclassing is allowed. Go Crazy with.
Jan 1, 2024 4:40 pm
I tend to use the standard 5e character sheets is that fine or do you want us to go to custom?

Applied my character as I'm building it. 110gp. :)

GM: Any direct thoughts on languages? I have 3 extra to fill in.
