Main Discussion

Feel free to create a thread for real specific character questions for your character. This thread will be for general world building and general character questions regarding locale, motivation, etc. As we shape everyones backstories it will help give the region some flavor. Keep in mind you can be from Feldoor, but its not a necessity to be from there. All you have to do is have a reason to be there. Could it be from travels, could you be part of a guild? What could be the reason destiny had you land at Feldoor?

aws5000,

Thanks for the PC roster slot.

Can we use this space to post rolls for character creation, or should we just kick off a new thread for each character with rolls for generation as the first post?

Also, will you allow "Variant Human" option for characters?

Looking forward to meeting the team, seeing the characters come together with backgrounds, and hearing the storyline.

Thanks again,
J

Yeah Variant Human is allowed, I'd prefer each person to create a thread for their character and roll the stats in that thread. Then, if you have any really specific questions for your character you can use that thread as well

To kick things off here's a map of the area ive come up with so far. Keep in mind more land runs north and east of the region, but for players that need somewhere to start with ive provided some of the region to start with.

Link to the Map

Some key notes:

Feldoor- Midsized town that serves as a rest point to those that travel towards the wild in the west and south and for those that are heading east towards some more prominent civil life. A couple guilds have presence here and a pair of taverns helps keep the townsfolk happy.

Rock's Haven- Home to miners of the Malzbatune Mountains. There is a pretty big dwarven presence here, and the mines are a big pride to those that live here so for one to venture outside of town, they must have deemed the cause worthy to forfeit the mines.

Berkshire- A small community of 3 families towards the rivers. They trade with the nearby towns, but tend to keep to themselves. They once were raided by some pirates who made it inland, but nearby towns came to their aid and helped get them back on their feet.

Ghazgil - An orc town towards the coast of the region. There is a lot of hired muscle that resides in this town, and plenty of gold to be made as a result. Ghazgil is under a state of repair at the moment however as a result of shadow magic being used on the town.

New Fundy - New Fundy is the biggest town in the Southwestern part of the region. Lord Winston rules over New Fundy. The town is home to lavish merchants and political ambassadors. Some of these merchants and ambassadors have hired bodyguards that have come from places such as Ghazgil.


There's room on this map to add more so don't feel too constrained to what I've given so far

Hailing from New Fundy, Lief was an unsavory type. Not evil at all but he hung with the type of crowd you would normally cross the street to avoid. He was a bounty hunter through the local guild and was pretty darn good at it. However he was also cocky and careless at times. This became a costly trait when he was meeting with a contact one day, a fairly standard meeting, nothing too shady. He had decided to bring along his young, 8 year old, daughter whose mother had run off shortly after being born. The contact with whom Lief was meeting had recently pissed off another gang in the town and they had chosen that particular time to pay him a visit. The ensuing melee left not only Lief's contact dead, but also his daughter. Heartbroken, Lief blamed himself, and rightly so. He spent a long time at the bottom of a bottle before drowning himself in work to bury the pain of his loss, his mistake.
Six months passed when Lief received a bounty contract for a man that had recently skipped town. He was given little information other than the man was to be brought back alive at all costs. He chased the man for some time before finally catching up with him in the small town of Feldoor. It was then he discoverd the man had a small child with him, he pleaded with Lief to let them go. That if he took him back his child would surely die with no one to care for it. Lief felt sympath for the man and his child, remembering his own. He let them go, deciding at the same time that he would not be able to return to New Fundy and tell them he had failed or worse...let the contract go. He found a job as a bouncer at a local tavern where he has been working for the past 3 months. Still trying to figure out his next move. Always with an eye over his shoulder wondering if the guild would ever come after him?

Hey everyone!

DM, may I have a rundown on how you want me to create my character? Also, what's needed in the party?

Create a thread for your character, and then post your rolls in there. You're new to the site so if you haven't noticed you can add a roll to your post near the bottom. You'll need 6 rolls of 4d6, dropping the lowest die from each roll. You can take those scores and assign them wherever you want. You'll notice in one of my posts above I have a link to a quickly made map. Use that to help create a backstory for your character. Everyone will start the game in the town of feldoor but that doesn't mean that have to be from there. Being as it's a big party of people I would reccomend playing something you enjoy playing!

Sounds good! I'll make the post tomorrow afternoon-ish as soon as I flesh out an idea.

Just a quick rules refresher make sure for starting equipment you are either doing of the two.

A. Taking the GP your class allows you to start with to spend on stuff via the PH and buying stuff with it.

or

B. Taking the equipment your class and background allows you to have.

Make sure you're not doing both of these, and I will make a sweep over the submitted characters just to be sure everyone did one or the other.
