Hi,
a thief preferably, or a fighter please :)

Cheers,
Malc


I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

Any other requests? I will need to know by early Tuesday so that I can personalize the cover sheets. I'm pretty sure that I have published the list of pre-gens here, somewhere. I know I put them in my DF thread.

Bill's will have a special line of type saying "As experienced by William Meinhardt as the PC Boone on Aug. 14th, 2009"


Hey Tim,

I can't seem to find a list of pre-gens either here or on DF.  Can you help us find it, or re-post it?

Anyway, if there's room for a Monk, I'll take one.  Otherwise, perhaps a fighter/magic-user?

And will the Paladin have a high-pitched, squeeky voice and wear his underwear outside his armor? :twisted:

The unbidden, unwanted and totally unexpected image that conjured has me looking for something caustic with which to bathe my mind's eye...

I have given the paladin a special shield device just for this adventure.

The following is edited from another post about NTRPGCon:

#1.  How you decide who's who is up to you. I always find a rousing match of "rock-paper-scissors" to be just the thing.

#2. Spell users will pick all of their own spells. How many and what level are indicated on the Character Sheets. Assume that spell users have a 65% chance of knowing any given spell; I trust you.

#3. All you will need for this game is the pre-gen sheet I provide and your favorite dice; books will not be necessary once we get going. You will need a writing instrument of some sort; red ink might not be inappropriate…

#4. I am a HUGE fan of SOP's (standard operating procedures). Decide your marching orders (wide, narrow, etc.), your designated door opener, your routine trap searcher, etc. You should also determine your fighting formations (narrow/small area, not-so narrow, big and open, etc.) These will save huge gobs of time better spent playing.

#5. Standard equipment is assumed; if in doubt, ask! (Before you claim to have a hydraulic jack in your knapsack.)

#6. Decide on a mapper and a spokesperson. It really sppeds play if I know who to listen to. My philosophy is that if you said it, you probably did it. Be careful of "loose lips". Bring your own graph paper at whatever scale you are comfortable with. I would not recommend 6 to the inch; 4:inch will probably serve you better.

#7. Determine in advance the state of readiness of weapons or rods or wands, etc. Don't try to immediately loose an arrow unless you were keeping it nocked, whatever. Magic weapons (you'll see on Char. Sheets) do as written.

The NPC list is at:

Here is the mission briefing:
The High Proctor of the Brothers of the Blessed and Munificent Sannabis Kativa has asked for a group of intrepid adventurers to investigate their Chapter House in the Hellgate Mountains.
       Here is what is known:
       This Chapter House was founded about 40 years ago. More than two lustrums ago, a Brother Krizlop was elected by the Brothers as Abbot upon the death of the original abbot, Brother Timoteo.
       This Chapter House spawned a sub-order of animal healers that became known as the Guild of Crazed Itinerant Clerics about three and a half years ago. The members of this "Guild" set out singly to spread the doctrine of Kativa and treat animal ailments. They would select a direction to walk and off they went. For the first three or four weeks they were undeterred in their fixation on "following the path" often traveling great distances. It is this Council's considered opinion that there is a correlation between where they "came to" and when they ran out of the traveling rations prepared by the Chapter House upon their departure.
       Brother Krizlop is renowned throughout the holdings of the Griichi and the Usukro clans whose ancestral lands surround the precincts of the Chapter House as being a singularly remarkable cook. Wayfarers seeking a night's lodging have told tales of the fare they indulged in that nearly beggar credibility. An invitation to dine with the Abbot was once the single most sought after social function and a mark of close relations. His absolutely most spectacular creation was some form of fried dough.
       Some four years ago that all changed. Abbot Krizlop stopped his monthly dinner parties and the Chapter House gradually stopped providing lodging for wayfarers, usually with the excuse that they were renovating.
       About this same time, a certain individual, later known as Brother Solstag, joined the Order at the Hellgate House, the first brother to take his vows in that place. He quickly developed a reputation as an herbalist of astounding ability, and one of his tisanes soon became popular throughout the area for the restorative and invigorating affects it produced.
       Recent reports tell of travelers going missing, as well as dogs; it seems that there's hardly a dog left on a single farm in the whole area. The lack of dogs to bark warnings could presage some sort of invasion or attack of some sort.

Anything else? Please spread this to the other players ASAP thru PM's or whatever. I will hold off on printing the covers as long as I possibly can.

I'll take one of the clerics, Tim.  Barring that, the Dwarf Fighter looks good as well.

No worries, Malc.  There are three other thieves available - a 9th level human, an 9th level halfling, and a fighter/MU/thief combo.  Take your pick.  It doesn't really matter.  We're all going to die gruesome deaths no matter who we play.   :twisted:

You got Still Water Falling, 9th lvl

How print cover?

All of these pregens have bios; you need not follow them in a "one-off".

Five PC's picked...who's next?

(Invincible Overlord on DF got Gilrond Skyborne, Ftr/M-U)

Bill's will have a special line of type saying "As experienced by William Meinhardt as the PC Boone on Aug. 14th, 2009"

You have until 9 PM, EDT, Tuesday to let me know. The printer gets fired up at 9:05.

Hello Tim,

I'm the same Invincible Overlord on both boards. I just thought it would have been easier to e-mail you there since you had your Q&A board on DF...   :wink:


RPG’s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. It’s bonded me together with life long friends...it’s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

I will also take anything though I have very little experience with any class that has spell abilities.

I need given names for prufrock, yaya, blackmoor, saxonangel and anyone else playing so I can personalize the covers for you if you know what PC you're taking.
I have strato, bracton, overlord & malc

Too late; I'll go with what I have.
