OOC Conversation

Welcome to the game! I'll be creating a forum shortly for character creation with everything you need to know to make your characters. Later on I'll create another thread with a primer for the basic rules of play. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm looking forward to a fun game!

The character creation rules are up now.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the invite DmBrainiac. I've played SotDL a few times but not this rule set. Looking forward to playing with everyone.

Hello @Dmbrainiac! Thanks again for the invite. I am looking forward to finally playing Shadow of the Weird Wizard. What is everyone planning to make as their character?

Currently mulling over some form of wizard or fighter, dependent on what I want for their future paths. May consider randomly rolling everything for the luls and see what aberration of circumstance I end up with.

I might do that too. It can be a lot of fun.
Decided to go with a Human Forester Rogue as long as that fits the group. Happy to consider other options if needed.

Hello all!

I'll create a character to fill in any gaps the party has. Or if folks have decision paralysis, I'll go ahead and cobble something together.

I am gravitating towards the mage or priest. Lets see, what others make.

I've started posting some of the game rules for those without access to the PDF. I'll add more over the next few days.

Much appreciated.

Would it be alright if I elect to make a Clockwork fighter, GM? My idea is that he was resurrected from dormancy as the last vestiges of a half-failed contingency system designed by the Weird Wizard himself to contain the Wizard's own experiments and creations, should they ever get out of hand.

Basic Outline:

R3N-L3
Atts:
Fighter Array #5 +Made for War
Str 13+2
Agi 10
Int 10
Will 10

Age: Very Old(51-150)
Purpose: War(To Contain the Weird Wizard's creations)
Form: Humanoid(No size difference)
Appearance: Well-made, as he was preserved for most of his interim existence.
Background: He has awoken from dormancy with a sword grafted to one of his arms. Unusual, but expected.

Personality: He certainly didn't ask for his new ersatz life or his orders, but he'll make the most of it while he can.

Professions: Sworn Bodyguard

Battle Training: Battlefield Experience

Novice Path: Fighter

Sure, that sounds like a cool character concept, Lcythas. :D

@Lcythas here are the details of the clockwork ancestry. Note that it features its own novice path. You may choose to pursue this path instead of one of the standard novice paths.

Hmmm, I think I'll remain with the Fighter novice path in my case just so I can specialize a bit more before moving into more general territory with the expert and master paths. Is there any particular template or character sheet you want us to use?

Nope, feel free to design your sheet in whichever way makes sense to you. The most important thing for me is to easily find your Defense, Health, and Damage.

Rolling for attribute spread.

I've submitted my character into the game, please feel free to check it. Since my character is reliant on sets of spare parts to heal, rather than healing naturally, how many sets would you say he starts with? I've put in 2 to begin with.

I'll let you start with 2 sets. Going forward, each set costs 1 sp, as outlined in the equipment chapter which I'll post here later.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the invite DmBrainiac! I'm excited to try SoWW at least! Yesterday I've spent quite some time thinking about my PC concept (I always start with concept and art...). I think I would like to go with Human and Mage. As far as I understand this - without refreshing the rules that I plan to do soon - the Mage can choose two traditions to have spells from it, for my character it would be: Technomancy and Psychomancy. I would like him to be someone that looks quite ordinary on the surface, being older man himself but in case of emergency someone that is using futuristic/steampunk-ish gadgets/gear/artifacts that looks for others more like magic then technology. All of this staying more in fantasy themes, rather than sci-fi. Would such concept work in our game and for you DmBrainiac?What do you think guys? From what I have "scanned" the previous posts, there shouldn't be huge overlap with others?

Yes, that sounds like a fun concept for your character, Pedrop. (Including what you sent in the note. :) )

So far our party's shaping up like so:

Lcythas: Clockwork Fighter
Pedrop: Human Mage
Windyridge: Human Rogue
