Out of Character

This thread is an open dialog, perhaps about the game, but not necessarily.

Hello, hello.

One of my players have invested in the Symbaroum rulebook. Have just linked him the game details.

Hi CC, thanks for helping me explore this great world, and extra thanks for bringing a crew with you.

Thumbs up.

No problem Qrall. Looking forward to be a part of this!

Thanks for being willing to run this and welcoming a total noob!

Crew came to salute. Greetings to everyone.

I'm looking to find out what is possible with the game. I told Chingo about a rough outline of a character idea I had before even looking at the system. Darthon Carolus, adventure seeker and self proclaimed master sharpshooter. But that can easily be molded as I figure out more about the game.

Welcome to GP, Drome1, and to the game. My limited experience playing the game revealed archery to be pretty effective. There isn't a ranged PC in the pre-gens but if you don't have the book we can hammer one out together. It's not a hard system

I think I have the book, just need to finally get time to read more than just couple bits at a time. But I wouldn't be against figuring things out together.

Hi everyone! Thanks for letting me join. I cant wait to get started.

Hi HeWhoGames. Nice to meet you, and me neither. I think this is going to be an awesome game!

Glad to see some new names/faces. Also Jabes, woot woot.

Since we don't know each other, I'm a 40-something dude from Canada. I've been gaming since 1981 or so. While I've played more D&D than anything else, I'm also big into the White Wolf "World of Darkness" games (Vampire: the Masquerade, etc.). But mostly I'm a whore enthusiast for trying new games. I'm sure that I've played more than 70 different RPGs. Gamers Plane has introduced me to a metric (hey, I'm Canadian) shit ton of awesome games.

I like the dark, I like horror, but I mostly like the heroic. Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat sorts of things. Symbaroum seems to hit that intersection.

For Gamers Plane games, I like to set some expectations: I don't know what I'm doing, haha. SRSLY, though, I've played Symbaroum maybe 4 or 5 sessions over Google Hangouts, so I'm no expert but lets explore this cool game together.

Nice to meet y'all I have some similarities and some differences. I'm in my 20's and got into d&d roughly 2 years ago, since then I've tried out more systems than I can remember off the top of my head.

Like you I'm a fan of dark and horror stuff, but an even bigger fan of heroic stuff, especially in the face of dire situations. I think it's less heroic if the stakes are low or repercussions are unlikely, so dark settings like this with the close threat of death seem perfect for it.

Well I'm 30 something from Michigan and have been playing D&D for most of my life with detours to try out new systems along the way. I played a lot of the old world of darkness games (mostly V:tES) and I love to try out new systems. I love when the heros barely make it through and victory comes at a dire cost.

About me:
I'm Jabes, also in my 40's, avid gamer and pastry chef. At my cake shop we like making geeky cakes. Here's a few D&D-themed ones.

I was introduced to D&D almost 30 years ago (AD&D back then) and to this day I still play with the same group of guys, my best friends. We played 3.5E when that came out and spent 10 years on a campaign, skipped 4E, and started a 5E campaign as soon as it came out. I've been on GP since early 2015, and I'v been a very active member of the community ever since. It's been fun trying out new game systems and character concepts I would never have gotten off the ground in my IRL games.

Whenever I play I try to do something new. Sometimes that means something a little unconventional, but other times that just means something I myself have never tried before.

I know nothing about Symbaroum, but when it came out and I saw some of the concept art online my curiosity was piqued! Thanks for running this, Qralloq!

Looking forward to gaming with you all!

Cheers!

Jabes.... Your cakes are amazing! Wow...

Yeah, awesome cakes Jabes! Thumbs up!

A little about me: I'm from Denmark. I am 29 about to turn 30 soon. Started roleplaying with a bunch of friends when we were around age 11-13 right when 3E/3.5 books were raining from the sky.

Then took a long break from it, and didn't resume playing until in my twenties, and since then I've solely played on the internet.

I enjoy roleplaying, game-mastering and world-building, and am currently working on my own RPG setting and rules system.

Just waiting for characters from ChingoChaplo, Drome1, and eugenemarshall. If you need any help, please reach out, as I'm keen on getting this going.

In the meantime, I'll start posting some gameplay stuff for those without the books.

I'm still deep into reading the setting and stuff, but so far I've got the mechanical stuff in a sheet. Added it to the game. The rough character idea is so far that he was a noble once, but the house fell apart. He now tries to rebuild his family.

I've approved it but Ill check it over later today.
