Here it is, I’m finally posting it. Rejoice!
Well, since Shemmy took so long to finally continue the convo she started with us in the FW thread, I got this thread up and going while waiting. I would recommend hurrying things up a tad with her now as to remove ourselves from the bar. But regardless of how much longer that takes, don't feel restricted from posting to this. If she takes to long again, for clarity's sake, we'll just say she got a tad too busy looking at herself in the mirror.
Things worth noting that are different about my game(It doubtfully will make a difference, just don’t want anyone to think otherwise in the game and thus be confused should it come up)--
Plane of Shadow is a full-fledged plane.
Plane of Time is a full-fledged plane. I had the MotP first before I knew of Planescape, so that did have some influence on this, but I really just like the idea. The plane of time is at the center of the inner planes though is not traveled to often by those who can simply because of the random time trait and the risk they take in coming back much later then they went in is somewhat high.
There is also something else worth saying; I don’t care how well written or how well known it is, if you’ve seen something posted about some aspect of D&D somewhere on the interenet, don’t take it as full truth. This is my game, and things go as I see fit. Mind you, I’m not a dictator when it comes to certain things, it just annoys me to no end when people preach things as truth regardless of what game they’re playing or just in general outside of a game. Yes, it was a good read and the person may be a good writer, and I respect that, but it’s just something they wrote… plain and simple. Actual stories are a bit different as they are more so just… well… stories rather then actual depictions of what/how certain things are. What is actually the truth? That is for you to find out in game.
For anything involving ooc posts, anyone not in the game, post to another thread. I may be posting a discussion thread for this as suggested by Lok at one point, though if you feel the need to do so and I haven’t done so yet, by all means, go ahead and start it. If/when one is started, I will post a link to it in this intro post.
Speaking of Lok, I haven’t seen him post, browsing the boards, or even heard from in a bit over a week. Regarding him in game, for the time being, we’ll give him blue thumb syndrome. If he doesn’t show up within a certain amount of time, we’ll remove him, though I suspect something’s preventing him from posting, so when he does return… I’ll most likely let him back in.
READ THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH:
For the most part, I do not want any more players at the time being. If I need someone on the boards to step in as an NPC for a little bit, I will PM them with a message notifying them of it. If you have an interest in something PM ME with what you want to do.
To keep the thread alive and going at a somewhat steady pase, I would request that you post at least once a day, even if it isn’t that much. Of course though, when combat occurs(which is kind of inevitable after a point given what you guys are going for), I would expect you to post a tad more often so things don’t stall. Don’t worry about me not having anything ready for guys, I have plenty planned for quite a ways into the future. Remember though, nothing that is supposed to happen is set in stone until it happens(hehe… even then, doesn’t always hold true); aka—I respect the actions of the PCs and their ability to influence things in certain ways.
And damn it, before I forget to mention it, for the most part, we’re using 3.0.
Any questions about certain rules or things I’ve said/will say... just PM me about it. If you feel there’s anything I haven’t touched upon that needs to be, just.. PM me.
As for my character Rrodek, he will not be regularly traveling with you unless you request for him to do so. He is obviously higher then the level I asked you guys to play at and even lowering him to be able to do so wouldn’t really be feasible. Rrodek has promised you once you leave to go after the portal to Earth, he will accompany you there... though he has said once you guys go through it, he will not go with you. The idea of him being in one crystal sphere(especially a *reported* dead-magic one) and his phylactery being in another just doesn’t sit to well with him. He also offered to craft a magic item or two beyond what you can get at any shops for you while you go around finding necessary information for the portal if you can give him any supplies he needs to create them.
You will be starting the game out in Edward’s house. We shall say it was decided upon to come here first before heading anywhere else, for various reasons. Some being just to see the house, it has a convient location, might be wise to rest/talk things out first, stuff such as that.
The house itself is one of those old, somewhat-fancy, victorian style houses. It’s not horribly big, but looks cool none the less. Upon entering the house, you notice a deep blue carpet lining what you can see of the house and a staircase in front of you leading to the upper floor.
To the left of the staircase is the dining room with a set of fine china lining the right wall with a rather large, polished, wooden table in the center of the room. On the far side of the dining room is the entrance to the kitchen.
The kitchen itself is fairly small, with all the essentials for cooking, a fridge/freezer, and a door leading to the backyard.
To the right of the staircase is the sitting/living room, containing a couch next to the window lining the front side of the house. There’s also two of those cushioned rocking chairs in there, one in the right corner opposite the window and one in the right corner next to the couch. In the left corner of the room opposite the window is a 20 inch, black and white TV(though that probably wouldn’t make much of a difference now anyway). Adorning the center of the room is a large oak coffee table, with a glass center on the top.
Opposite the window in the sitting room, you will find the entrance to Edward’s library. Book shelves line the walls with a few in the center of the room and a desk off towards the back of the room, in position to look out the window when needed.
Finally, just to the right of the staircaise and just next to the sitting room is a hall leading to the kitchen(open entryway on the left).
In the sitting room you see Rrodek laying on the couch with his arms folded behind his head, stairing at the ceiling while his skeletal dog, Fluffy is wandering about the kitchen. Nordom is standing at the base of the staircase looking around, taking everything in, inspecting what he can see of the house. Lok is currently sitting in the dining room, minding his own business and staring at his glowing, blue thumb every now and then. Edward is off in the kitchen getting things for everyone while Pete and Erte are in the sitting room conversing with Rrodek.
As everyone entered the house, Edward told everyone to make themselves comfortable in the sitting room as he ambled into the kitchen to make everyone something to eat. As he was searching through the cupboards, he called out to the others, "If you're bored, there are some videotapes under the telly, but try not to run the VCR for more than two hours at a time. The generator can't take the strain." He looked in the refridgerator and found that most of the food had already gone bad. He grumbled.
After a few minutes, anyone peeking into the kitchen will find the old man rushing back and forth, pulling things out of cupboards and muttering things like, "Stupid fridge just had to break down on me now." "Am I supposed to feed my guests nothing but deviled ham and chicken soup?" "Where did I put that hot-plate?" "Oh bloody hell! Maggie! Your supposed to do your business outside! These were my good shoes too. Bad girl!" "Oh! There's the hot-plate."
