[OOC] Almost, But Not Quite, Entirely Unlike Tea [Trials of the Young King OOC Thread]

[Sedracus]

and I can't even work on getting my char finished for about two weeks I guess.

[Makenshi]

Blue wants to continue as well, so that's another persons till around for TotYK.

Rather than wait any longer, I'll go about looking for replacements for the others, that way they have however long it takes for me to find replacements to reply (since two of them have actually red the PM but not replied anyway). Any that come back after we've gotten replacements will have to wait until we need replacements again in the future.

In other news, after June 13th I won't have internet access here, however I will be able to get online at the Uni until the beginning of July, it just means I'll only be on for a few hours a day instead of hopping on and off throughout the day. As for after June, I should either be in a new house (which should have the internet) or I'll have had to move back home (which definately has the internet). I'll keep you updated.

Allrighty.

[Makenshi]

The replacement discussion thread is now up: linky.

Well hello folks, it looks like I will be joining you in what is a promising looking game. Thanks for the encouragement those of you who sent me messages.

a few questions for Makenshi regarding allowed materials for character creation.
Can I use the various forms of homunculus in the Ebberon Campaign Setting book (pg285-287) as well as the Magic of Ebberon book (pg152-153)?
Also May I use the Improved Homunculus feat in Magic of Ebberon (pg49)?
Finally I would like to advance Cerberus, Morgans Iron Defender homunculus, beyond the normal 6 hit dice limit, somewhere in the 8-12hd range?

I'll add other questions as they come up.

[Blue]

Welcome in Spatula.

Glad to have you and your character along.
You'll both fit right in.

[Makenshi]

I'll have a look at those tomorrow and get back to you Spatula. I'll also have your and Watcher's private threads up and re-start the Prologue so we have something to do while Character Sheets are sorted out.

[Watcher]

Greetings, all!

Glad to be part of the game, and I can't wait to get involved with some quality gaming and RPing. It looks like a really nice group, and that's a plus for any game.

...though I didn't get messages of encouragement. *eyebrow raise* Joking.

Good to be here.

[SpatulaOdoom]

Well I did sorta kinda solicit one of them.
"Hey I wrote your character into my RP short story, then realized I didn't even get your permission in the first place... So uh.. You mind? It's real good and stuff,"

Just to clarify Makenshi I'm not totally set on Homunculus' as his constructs of choice, the other option is Effigy creatures (Complete Arcane pg151). Basically I'm looking for something not too huge and expensive (like golems) that would be better for a city campaign. Effigy creatures are also good because they can be passed off as normal pet/creatures.
Homonculus' are good because they are actually moderately intelligent.

[Blue]

Sure was.
Only detail that might need changing in that backstory, now that I think about it, is the use of 'black and gray hair'. Since this would had happened about 10 years ago, her hair wouldn't had gray locks back then. Just for accuracy.

[Sedracus]

I would welcome you, but...

Effigies are fine by me, as are the Homuncules in the Ebberon campaign setting (however I don't have Magic of Ebberon). I'll also not only allow a 7+ HD Iron Defender but allow you to make it medium, however it'll cost +4000gp per hit dice instead of +2000gp if you go that route.

[Makenshi]

Oh, and before I forget, don't forget to post your characters here once they're completed (along with a secreted and spoilered link to the character sheet). Also, please bear in mind we've got a Mod in the game, so secret text should also have a spoiler tag on it too.

EDIT - The new Prologue is up, though much of it will be a repeat of the last one. I've kept the old one around so the PCs don't have to re-write everything from scratch .

Also, the two new players have each had their Journals made. They're effectively for private discussion/RPing between me and the PC in question.

~MTWC

[Watcher]

I have to say, I'm liking the interactions in the thread. We have such a diverse bunch, don't we? It's great.

[Makenshi]

Yup, I'm pleased with how it's going as well.
