love.gif Earthdawn??? Ooooh... can I play?
Grinder
Why not? So far we have the Fisty o' Doom, Ophis and Metatron confirmed, while Kage is pending (and can still join later). So post your idea what you wanna play and we'll see if it fits. smile.gif
Ophis
My sheet flits it's merry electronic way towards grinder's in box...

A quick over view of Seraph

Personality notes:- Her relationship with the rest of the group is friendly but inconsistent. On the surface she is a little odd (well mostly crazy) hyperactive and almost melodramatically emotional. However hasn't told any of them about her parentage and is usually to some degree faking her moods. She is deeply scared of letting anyone get close to the real her, but she has a deep need for affection and is very sensual and touchy-feely this can lead to a odd swings between flirtiness and being disinterested in someone. One moment she will be all over someone the next she will be seemingly lost in a dreamworld. Some of this is of course for real due to the encroaching insanity that tends to flow along with Illusionism... Her recent foray into swordmastery is helping stablise her some. She passes her time by pretending to be Darius' assistant on stage and doing half his tricks for him.

Description:- Six foot female elf, very pretty eyes one is deep green the other bright blue, very long pale blue hair and pearly skin. She dressy in skimpy clothing and decorates her self with many ribbons, twined through her hair and dangling of her clothes, in combat she tends to appear like brightly coloured tornado in a dressmaker's shop. She wears bright make up that accents her features. Her facial expressions rarely seem sad, afraid or angry, usually either happy, flirty or dreamily distant. Often all three in a very short space of time.

History:- Vague at best, often with a number of distinct contradictions between tellings. It appears that Seraph is using her birthname rather than a chosen one, unusual for an elf her apparent age. She the party a while ago, joining them in Kratas. She know her way around the city but doesn't seem to be local. She has several friends in the 'entertainment' industry. She feeds all the local stray cats. And several street urchins. She is a definite stirrer in peoples love lives.

I'll happily accommodate any particular dynamics with other characters.
Grinder
Yep, got the sheet. Looks fine, even though Seraph is short on skills.
The background is fine, too.


What I learned from Fisty: 200 LP to you for submitting your sheet and background story first. smile.gif
Ophis
Never played much with skills in ED, unless I should have more starting ranks, I presumed ED1 starting numbers and didn't put down languages. I'll porbably pick up a point of etiquette with those.
Grinder
Oh, my fault: you get CHA step skill points for free plus (iirc it's a houserule) your Artisan Skill and your Speak Language Skill on rank 1 for free.
Ophis
I take it speak language 1 allows me to speak elven and throalic, right?

Based on that updated sheet winging its way to you.
Lady Door
Hey Grinder...

Would you let me play a Nethermancer Windling? biggrin.gif
Fortune
I wish I knew more about the actual game system.
fistandantilus4.0
Learn On The Job. I'm running a game that Alex is playing in, ED based, and he'd never played at all. Same with Callidus. I'ts like the pool. The water may be cold, but you'll acclimate quicker if you just dive in. I wouldn't mind helping out or coaching you at all.
Fortune
Well, an Ug the Warrior type might be cool.
fistandantilus4.0
Ah, that would be Ug the Troll. Wandering warrior from from his tribe and moot, finding his way in the wide world, and dealing with beings that have little understanding of Kator, the proper sense of honor. Luckily, he has no patience for them either, so things work out well.
Fortune
No, the other Ug! You know, the human. wink.gif biggrin.gif
fistandantilus4.0
Oh, right. I forgot who I was talking to.

Well Grinder, are we at limit? Can we pop in Fortune as well?

Anything pour moi for having my 1st person POV background in to you?

Now that I have the character idea set and approved, I can slam out some stats for you easily enough.

May be tomorrow though. I plan on reading Harry Potter in the wee hours.

Unless it was vastly changed, yes it is a house rule. But the Artisan skill seperate from the normal skill is the norm. Gotta have those after all.

Grinder,would you allow something to the effect of Blade Dance for an Artisan skill?
Fortune

Seriously, no sweat. I'd really rather put my efforts towards a Shadowrun game ...





... unless someone wants to run Deadlands. wink.gif
Grinder
QUOTE (Plan B)

We could start a second game where your Windling Nethermancer runs with a Troll Scout, T'skrang Beastmaster and Elven Sky Raider in a parallel universe. biggrin.gif nyahnyah.gif

We're full, but you could convince two more people for a second game that you then run. biggrin.gif

Reading Harry Potter negates any bonus LP. nyahnyah.gif

Can't find Blade Dance atm (it's early in the morning here...), but yes, why not?

It's not anywhere. Just an idea that I had.
Grinder
Good. I was beginning to doubt on my memory seriously. biggrin.gif
fistandantilus4.0
I'll sit down with my books and work out the char sheet.

Can't believe you negated the windling nethermancer though! This is the same windling nethermancer that used bone dance to make a couple of dead crwos dance through a fire and around a camp site! This is an actual existing character! Awesome, wicked little thing of hers!
Grinder
Time for a change. biggrin.gif
fistandantilus4.0
Was worth a shot.
Lady Door
Well, I'm out of ideas then. All the really good disciplines are already taken. Can I play a Pale One t'skrang Nethermancer?
Grinder
Did you check the ADM for the racial-specific disciplines? Maybe one of those is worth a try? *cough* Outcast Warrior *cough*

Ophis
Grinder I'll get spells and gar sorted and to you shortly.
Grinder
Ok. smile.gif
laiced
OKAY!!!!
I have been struggling to get my new account activated here and have been drooling to express my immense interest in an Earthdawn game!!!
Is there still room available? and if so, what set of rules are you using (please say the originals, as I have just about every one!)?

I have been PbPing for several years now and have been roleplaying for most of my life.

Grinder
Welcome to DS! smile.gif

Well, so far it's Fisty o' Doom, Ophis and Metatron, while Kage is likely to join later.
Plan B is thinking what she's gonna play and Fortune has already been rejected. So this game is full, but you may convince Fisty to run a second one. biggrin.gif
Fortune
QUOTE (Grinder)

Story of my life! frown.gif
laiced
Well, please PM me if you decide to open up another slot or if someone does not fully commit or drops out.

-Drew

p.s. I am persistent because we are talking about the best RPG I have ever played.

Do you have any idea how many games I am involved in at the moment? It's in the double digits, and one of them is 5 if that helps. Tell you what though, I'll look over how one of my games, Back to the Future, is going in the next week. There are likely going to be some changes in the setup, due to player dissapearance. So if there's an opening, I'll let you know.

Again, Fortune is rejected out of hand. wink.gif

You're involved in fifty-plus games??? Wow!!! eek.gif biggrin.gif

So what? One game more doesn't make a difference then. And you would make two people happy. smile.gif

WooHoo!
I have an idea!

Will work on the sheet over the weekend, and get it to you asap.

Really, ED should be given the proper attention. Besides, I'm still seeing how thigns are going with the ED game I currently have running to see if they can squeeze in there somewhere.
Grinder
BttF2 has reached a point where new characters can be added relativly easily. wink.gif
Ophis
Gear and Spells done and sent.
Grinder
Received. Thanks a lot. smile.gif
Nice list on spell, would have picked nearly the same.

Thanks what I'm thinking as well. It'sb een two weeks since I messaged Callidus, with no reply. the tracker says that he hasn't even seen the message.

OK you two, give me a couple of days to work out bringing you in. Feel free to start working on charater concepts.

Nice this is the first spell caster I've played.

Metatron's Character is statted, but needs to think of a name and negotiate with You to work what beasts she's got.

Note to all due to remembering details of back story Seraph's hair has changed color...
Fortune

Damn, I had to read that twice! eek.gif biggrin.gif

It's not my fault ... it's that hot n' racy Augmentation that is to blame.
Ophis
Dirty Immortal elf.

Stop looking for my other half's beasts.

Grinder- Metatron's Character on it's way to you.
fistandantilus4.0
laiced, Fortune, here's the scan. I've lost contact with a player on my Back to teh Future ED game. For the short explanation, it's basically a whole mess of horrors and undead coming the PC's way. So if your'e up for a messy, messy game, with windlings wink.gif, come on over.

Also , damn you Grinder, I have an idea for an entirely seperate ED game I'm thinking of running.
Ol' Scratch
These games really make me wish I was more familiar with Earthdawn. The only real exposure I've had is the main sourcebook that I won in some roleplaying competition years and years and years ago. Never could find anyone to play it with, however, so it pretty much just rotted away on my bookshelf.

That aside, you guys have really piqued my interest. I may have to see if I can find that book again.

(Not trying to derail or anything. I've been monitoring these threads for a while and just thought I'd speak up suddenly. Sorry for the intrusion. biggrin.gif Oh, and for the record, even back then I always thought a Windling Nethermancer would be totally bad-ass image wise. Decked out in a burial shawl and with slightly tethered black wings? Awesome personified.)
