The Campaign Builder's Guild

Ok, Wensleydale made it onto Group Gold however, Captain Obvious had to be bumped to an 'interested person.' :( Perhaps there will be a Group Amethyst!

Ability score generation isn't available in the SRD.

Sorry, I totally forgot about that. Seeing as how WotC changed it completely for 4E, here's the Point Buy for 3.5. I'll leave it up here until we begin play.  

STAT --- COST
 8 --- 0
 9 --- 1
10 --- 2
11 --- 3
12 --- 4
13 --- 5
14 --- 6
15 --- 8
16 --- 10
17 --- 13
18 --- 16

Right. So our characters have to be commoners, right? No other NPC classes (e.g. expert)?

I mean, admittedly, you could be almost anything with Commoner - an innkeep, a brewer, even an incompetent town guard. Just wondering :P

Amaer Norreghymnannia, elven male commoner 1

Fluff: Amaer is an elf who's been living in an abandoned cottage at the edge of the village and makes a living gathering wood, nuts, berries, mushrooms, herbs, and any other plantlife for people in the village who need it.  Because of this some people think he's a little odd and spread rumors about a connection to wild nature spirits.  The truth is that he just felt like getting out of his single-race community, but as he has no other skills this is the only profession he can practice.  This doesn't mean he has no friends: many of the people whom he brings regular deliveries consider him a good companion.

 [spoiler=backstory-type things]Loch was an aprentice to a fairly well off basket-weaver in the city-state of Somewhere, at least until the city-state of Overthere declared war. Loch was conscripted into the army of Somewhere, but deserted after Overthere won a decisive victory on the plains of Genericplainname. He became a caravan guard for a few months but was discharged after an incident involving large amounts of ale, a half-orc named Bob, and a merchant's daughter. Eventually he wandered into (whatever the city we are playing in is called) and hasn't found a reason to leave yet. [/spoiler]

Unfortunately, after having thought it over, I don't plan to participate in this game.  It's just not weird enough for me.  :morons:

"Commoners of Cthulu"

Actually I don't consider horror as it's mostly done to be very weird.

I'll agree with this, most horror descends to a splatter everything that moves level, which is sad. Anyway that's a discussion for another day.

Would you consider, say, Alien (which I think of as a classic horror movie) to be a weird movie?

Quote from: LlumAnyway that's a discussion for another day.

Agreed.  Not on this thread.

Don't make characters right now guys. I will post up a topic when I am ready for them (note that you are gonna need some information from me before you make your commoners).

If you want weird, I could give GMing in Crystalstar a spin.
You'd be average people living in  Varrdyen. :P

*listens to the crickets chirp*

Ok, perhaps not. :D

Haha, well just an update. I have:

- City shops and prominent locations done
- City personalities done
- Local culture done
- Background ideas and quests in progress

I still need to map out some more of the surrounding area but otherwise I should be ready for characters by tonight or tomorrow.

Straight offa WOTC boards!!! (just so you know you can get this smiley in my sig.)
