This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does anyone have a shovel we can leave with Gunnar to bury his friends?  Norel will repay whoever gives their shovel to Gunnar.

Description: Alric is a fit young man (late 20s) with short (roman style) black hair and a neatly trimmed black beard, medium complexion, and clear blue eyes. Along the left side of his face from his chin up past his nose and close to the corner of his left eye into his hairline, then back to his left ear and back down along his jawline is an old, ugly burn scar. Other than the scar, his face is rather non-descript, with plain structure and a lack of notable features.

Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

Out of curiosity, I assume that you rolled these stats?  (I ask only because they exceed the point-buy system.  And I'm jealous! :) )

Yes, I rolled, and actually got the one 18 in cha instead of pow, and the 8 in pow, but Pseudo let me make use of the optional rule to switch one pair of stats... I was very lucky, although I had really wanted a higher cha and wasn't concerned too much with str, con, or dex all that much. Was gonna make him a kinda uppity but good-looking young intellectual type who is naive but adequately talented. The low charisma and decent physical stats has caused me to rethink the personality and create a different sort of guy.

By the way, depending upon your ages, the two of you may have attended the university of Carlaw at about the same time. It's a big institution, and you would have been parts of different colleges, but neither are real barriers as there's lots of inter-collegiate interaction. A bachelor of the university has typically been there for 4-7 years before his degree is awarded, depending upon his age and prior education.

Indeed, I thought about that as well. There hasn't been much time in-game to explore that option, but if Akrasia is open to it and assuming our ages are close enough i have no qualms about recognizing each other at least from having seen each other around campus.

That would be cool.  However, Bryce is somewhat younger than your character (24 vs 'late-20s').

Shall we all take a short break to enjoy Festivus, Christmas, Hannukah or Kwanzaa as appropriate, and reconvene on the 28th? I shall put up a post for the next morning then.
