Is anyone interested in playing some WFRP2e?

Hell yeah. Since Spike's Traveller PBP seems to be in Limbo, I suppose I can commit. I'm in.

Groovy. What sort of character do you fancy playing?

Are we rolling Careers or choosing them?

If we're picking it's going to be a tough choice, but I think Protagonist is the best Career ever. What sort of game do you have in mind?

I'm thinking choose them.

I've not got anything rigidly specific in mind, apart from a general theme/arc which can be approached in a variety of ways so, given the fact that the turnaround in a PbP game gives me the opportunity to prepare on the fly, I'm happy to jive and play it by ear.

So roll up a character, we'll get started and more people can join in as we go.

The starting location is Nuln and the era is a rewind to before the Storm of Chaos (but after the initial Chaos incursion - i.e. the same as the current 3e setting).

OK, I'm in too!

I randomly rolled my character at Invisible Castle.

Background:
Moibur Wolfhame is the youngest of four children to his parents.  Moibur's father and brothers are master smiths and craftsmen, but he did not seem to inherent the talent to excel in smithing beyond a journeyman.  Knowing that he if he stayed in the family business his life would be mundane, he decided to join the military and become a soldier.  Originally, his family is from the city of Middenheim, but shortly before he mustered out of the military they moved to the city of Nuln.  His father and brothers were easily hired as cannon smiths at the famous Gunnery School and relocated there.  After being away from home in the military, Moibur decided to travel to Nuln to see his family.  Unfortunately, he spent most of his coin on the trip to Nuln and now is looking for ways to make some coin without resorting to handouts from his family.

Awesome. I'm going to open a separate thread for the actual game, and keep this one for recruitment/admin/other crap.

I don't see much point in having separate IC and OOC threads, as long as people make it obvious what's being said IC.

OK, let's roll up this bastard. I'll call him Dieter Jundt, and he'll be a human. Since we're picking Careers, I'll wait 'til I'm done with the random stuff and then pick something appropriate.

Let's start with characteristics... holy shit! Those are some good rolls. I'll ask for Shallya's Mercy on Agility, too.

Now for random talents... Luck and Very Strong. Goody-goody. Let's factor this in on my Strength score.

Now for Wounds and Fate Points. Not a lot of variation there.

Now these background charts... well, I fucked up which are 1d0 and which are 1d100 and rolled a bunch of unnecessary dice, twice. I'll roll for star sign and bullshit the rest, assuming Dodger's OK with it. And it's Vobist The Faint, Sign of Darkness and Uncertainty. Neato.

Oh, I'll roll a Distinguishing Mark too, it's just not WFRP without one of those... um, MIssing Nail. OK. I guess.

Now for career. For those of you wondering, of course it's fucking Protagonist. WS and S are just right. BTW I'll be taking that free advance in Strength, because Dieter is one big fella.

Dieter Jundt, Protagonist

Dieter is a big city rat, a brash malcontent who's never been up to any good in his life. Beating up people is his game and he happens to be fairly good at it, but he's no idiot. He doesn't want to spend the rest of his life as a two-bit thug, though, so he's always on the lookout for the Big Score that'll make him rich (or die trying), or earn the notice of some noble or rich merchant or underworld bigshot who'll pay him more money, presumably to beat people even harder than he already does.

Dieter is big, burly and menacing, with a thick red beard, broken nose and a missing nail (the latter courtesy of particularly sadistic Watchman who once got a hold of him).

Here are the rolls, BTW. The characteristic ones are OK, it's the Background ones that are a mess.

Excellent. Okay, I'll start the new thread (Dodger's WFRP2e Game) shortly with some wordy scene-setting and my first challenge will be to unsubtly railroad you two together.

FYI, I'm going to use normal typeface for "IC" descriptions and conversations, and italic for OOC stuff.

I may sometimes drop in spoiler text - this will be "behind the scenes" stuff for non-players' entertainment so please don't read any spoilers until I give the explicit go-ahead, which i'll do when appropriate.

This is my first time GMing a PbP so I hope you'll cut me a bit of slack and, equally, feel free to chip in with suggestions, etc.

No sweat, bro.  Loosey-goosey is just fine to get the ball rolling!

Hey Dodger, finally got my account fixed, still got room for me?

Cool!  A motley crew is forming.  Get to posting, guys!

Fantastic! So, give me a brief paragraph of a backstory as to what a hunter is doing in Nuln and then post to the other thread to let me know what he's doing as we open the game.

Don't worry about how you all end up together for the time being. I have a cunning plan...

Quote from: Warboss Squee;539452Hey Dodger, finally got my account fixed, still got room for me?

Absolutely! Roll up and get stuck in!
