Fistandantilus3.0 asked for an ED game lately and got me in the right mood to set one up. Running games for a single player is only half the fun and madness, so I'm looking for three more players. Don't know where the game will take place exactly and what the main theme will be, I'm open for ideas, wishes and suggestions here.

All I know is that I have the following guidelines for characters:
- 75,000 LP spent (that should be enough for an experienced 6th circle character)
- 2 minor magic items (thread items) per characterr
- no limit on money: tell me what you want and I tell you if you can get it
- I'd prefer if characters are created with the Alternative Discipline Mechanics (available on the RedBrick-website: Here)
- Detailed background
- The characters know each other for longer and have spent the last year together

Enough for the start. Let's rock!

Curse you ! Now I msut re-read the Alt Discipline thing!

Alex? Hellooooo...

Hehe, I'm hope he's interested.

Well I PM'd him, we'll see what he says. He might claim to be too busy, He's working on running a Star Wars D6 game for myself and a few others ATM, plus another forum game.

Of course, that really shouldn't be any excuse to not play Eearthdawn. Got that Alex?

Well after Grinder put pressure on me I'm going to have to throw my hat into this ring.

I'll do one of

Illusionist
Thief
Swordmaster

They're my favored disciplines.

Awesome. I was considering a thief/Swordmaster(blade). Defnietly going to have to use the Setup Talent Knack.

Always wanted to do one myself.

That's great

Which race?

Thief and an Illusionist together...

[Mr Burns finger steeple] Excellent [/Mr Burns finger steeple]

What have I done? What? Whaaaaaaaaaat?

I'm too busy to play any TRPGs right now but I think it's pretty cool that somebody is playing Earthdawn. As a show of support I'll re-watch Conan the Barbarian...just for you guys!

Great!

Got any space left?

I was wondering when you'd chime in. I thought we'd have to invoke the name of BoneCrown to get your attention or something.

Yep.
It's Ophis, Fisty and Metatron so far (she just PMed), so one spot is left.

What do you wanna play?

Race will probably be Elf.

Not much of a windling fan. T'skrang may tempt me.

So Fistandantilus3.0 do you want thief or illusionist, I'd prefer illusionist. Though swordmaster is always tempting it depends what else we got.

I do think I'm going to go with thierf/awordmaster(blade) - human. Sounds interesting to me. Think Steven Burst if you know the books, with just a bit more sword skill.

Illusionist it is, depending on which multiclassing we use I may pick up some swordmaster as well. Definitely elf. The character will be showy and talkative (picking up several people talents.)

Sounds good.

Rules for picking up a second discipline (from EPC):

The LP costs for learning Talent Knacks have increased as well:

Metatron, is probably planning on playing a Beastmaster, her preferred discipline, it'll be a dangerous thug with pets based on previous experience.

Makes me curious: which pets will that be?

Btw, you all are familiar with the ADM? If not, you should download it and have a look, it gives much more freedom in customizing your character.

hey, i'll be playing you friendly neighborhood beastmaster.

A drako?

Guess the game will take place in Kratas (or at least start there, depending on your actions). You'll have a house there, worked for different groups in the city over the last year and... well, I'm still figuring out what to do then. If anyone has plans/ideas/suggestions, let me know. I love player-driven campaigns.

No more catty than that...

Elf illusionist is what I'm going to be. I'll probably have multiclassed into swordmaster just to cover some combat tricks.

Can't wait to see your character sheet

Which one?
By your statement the group knows each other. I trust that I am reading that right.

Yours.

Yep, the characters know and trust each other.

The sheet is coming along, about 45000 lp spent, and I'm a solid circle 5 illusionist. Going to look at thread items and if swordmaster is worth it. Now some questions.

What are legal sources for talent knacks? I have the first magic book of 1st ed and the 2nd ed companion. Mostly i'm wondering about the one that allows me to cast quickly, personally I think it's broken on some levels, but reasonable on others.

Can my character have a friend who is a lower circle illusionist who she pretends to help in his stage show while doing most of the work.

Do spells cost legend points? What other limits are there on what I can have.

The two minor magic items each, does this include those listed as for sale?

Spell Matrix items? LP costs please.


Many thanks.

Still working on mine. I like to have a fuller idea of the character before working out stats. I'll likely give you his background before his sheet.

Could you be more specific on "minor magical items"? I mean, I assume we're not getting the devastator spear or anything. But is this all straight from the book things, or can we ask for something specific? any thread items, or jsut lite hot plates or what?

I watched Conan 2 days ago in your guys' honor on a laptop while doing some work on a desktop.

I say we give WR Legend Points in recognition of his devotion.

My character Seraph is pretty much ready, going to put her on an excel sheet and check my maths is right. I pretty much have her down as a person though. I'm probably going to assist Metatron with her character in the next couple of days as she should be over her general anesthetic by then...

Crap. Now you're going to make me look all kinds of the slacker. I'll get my char background to you fast quick and in a jiffy. Stats will follow shortly(ish).

And don't forget a detailed gear list, honey.

HAHAHA... no problem bunny.

Well, based on my utter inability to make any progress on this character (too many projects!), I'm going to have to bow out for lack of time (and I was really looking forward to it, too ). Sorry, everyone, and let me know if you run another one sometime in the future.

~J

well you do have some time. I've still got to work my char out, and Ophis is still putting finishing touches on his. But I understand being overworked. Good luck with the projects.

Bad news, indeed. As Fisty said, you still have some time (thus far, I haven't received anything from the others as well, "only" ideas what they gonna play).

If you don't have the time now, but later on I can try to bring you into the game then.

Well, I'll keep working on the character. If everyone else finishes, though, don't wait on me.

~J

I should finish off stats on my char today, the weekend was cancelled due t0 an incident involving deathly hallows...

Background will follow when Metatron and I discuss her character.

Great!
