THE INTRO
This is an introductory adventure in the D&D world. I am not going to fix up a lot of fancy things sense you all already know what it is you're here for and what you're able to do. However there is one thing I would like to touch on.
Unlike many DM's, I like to use my own worlds to stage my games in. I however to not have a tablet so I have had to photograph, and then edit said photo on the computer so I can share my world with the players. I have maps of each of the nations in this world, but I will just be uploading a general world map for starters and adjust it as need dictates.



The World

I've colored it so that you understand the general geography of the specific nations. Yes, I'm aware that it looks like someone vomited a set of tropical skittles onto a piece of paper. If you don't like my photo editing/paint skills, make the damn map yourself! D<

Character Submission
Alright, I would like a simple format fallowed when submitting your character sheets. If you have one already made, please submit the link, along with a brief back story on your character. (try and be somewhat vague on locations as the cultures of the various nations are a bit more complex than I want to go into explaining right off. If you're worried about location, go with the Empire, it's a easy and safe bet if you really want to get specific.)
If you do not want your characters history to be publicly known (which is kind of silly but meh) you may message me them.

Born in a quiet village Vahn was raised normally, helping bring in the harvest, learning to survive in the world, and praising the village deity, Pelor. While initially Vahn never felt the call to action at the age of twenty he had devoted himself and began training to become a full-fledged Cleric. For five years he studied to become literate and feel the touch of the divine. After those five years Vahn moved to a larger city to continue learning and to reach out to the public to perform acts of charity in the name of Pelor. At his induction into the ranks of cleric-hood Vahn was given a gift of a breastplate for his services to the church and to Pelor. Now at the age of twenty-nine Vahn wanders the land performing acts for the greater good in the name of Pelor.




Completely didn't realize there was the bonus spell table. My bad. Now then that is corrected. Oh and what are bonus spells categorized as? Is it just suppose to be an extra spell for one of the spells I've memorized for the day or can I memorize another spell for the bonus spell? My previous DM never said anything about it.

they're just an extra spell that day, you can put it into a new spell for that level or a second one of a spell you already had.

Meh, that'll be real simple for me to run then. It'll be a bit tough on your character, but it'd be a rather simple campaign to DM. xD By the way, accepted and being put up. Though you may want to go back and take your 1 bonus l language that you never took.

Hm... I'd take Celestial but I doubt that would be too helpful. Darn Humans having access to almost all languages.

Celestial it is then just to keep this Cleric thing cool.

She came from a family of Illusionists, both of her parents were and 3 of her 4 brothers were as well, the fourth brother was a gem cutter due to his lack of magical talent. Her sister on the other hand spent her time casting minor illusions and chasing boys around. Aurora had no patience for boys and only dabbled in illusionary magic to please her parents, what she really wanted to do was become a powerful, but fun, evocationist. When Aurora had decided to leave, her mother was devastated and her father was furious, they had hoped she would stay and become an illusionist like them, and if she left many of the local families would look upon her with disdain. But the others, who knew her and her family better, understood that this was not an abandonment of duty and home but a way for her to really find her calling in life. Her goodbye from home was short and bittersweet, she hated to see her mother so distraught, and her father was clearly hiding his true feelings but she knew she had to leave. Now, away from home, Aurora is in search of her true calling and a way to show her family that she was meant for something bigger than illusions.

I don't think we actually have a rogue. >_>
But then again, I think we're short from start on the original numbers. I find that's a major thing with D&D games. The interest is high but the participation is low.
Maybe I'm just not popular. :^

Who knows maybe it's still one of those, we didn't realize the topic was here. It's kind of annoying when people express interest go through the process or at least most of the process to create a character and don't end up going through with it.

Awesome! Thank you Jester! I'm sorry life has been crazy lately but I'm glad you are back. As for the Necklace, I don't plan on it actually giving her benefits its just a family item, who knows it might even become a family heirloom. :))

Heh family heirlooms can become powerful things at the DM's discretion.

The samurai in my first group had a katana heirloom and it became a rather ridiculous asset to him at the 1/3rd mark of the campaign.

Ok, this is true, but really I had no intentions of making it special, it was just supposed to be a reminder of home. Spendy yes, useful, not in my head.

heh, if it comes down to real emergency, the parts can be scrapped for spell components. XD

alright folks, those of you who have not submitted character sheets had best get them in. Availability for campaign start ends on the 11th. If you don't have your characters in by then and want to join after that you'll have to wait for a convenient time for me to try and work you in. (meaning you'll likely loose out on some of the exp the others have)
I have my campaign ready, just have to have get it going, which I will not do till the cut off cause I want all who are joining to have the shot.

alright, I'm typing up the IC as we speak, but the question I have for you all is there is some random things going on the start of the campaign, so would you rather I roll the random numbers or would you all like to be the ones to cast the dice?

ok then. Posting the IC thread up now and will be giving you the details on what it is that fate has decided for you soon. (have to make the rolls) In the mean time. In the mean time, I'll be sending a link to my Dice rolling thread I use for my other D&D game on EL. I'll just be asking that everyone label which game and what their rolls are being rolled for when they do roll dice on it. :3

IC is up. I'll ask that you all don't just go posting JUST yet. I'm out at the moment but I'll be posting updates to you as soon as I get back home to let you know what the outcome of fate has decided for you as well as where the dice thread is. (though it may not be too hard to find either way.) BBS'ish -Jester

Alright here's how it goes. You all were shipwrecked so I am going to roll for each of your items and see whether they were lost or retained. I will inform each of you what equipment and items were lost in the shipwreck, anything not mentioned are granted as being survived.

Van: The fallowing Items have been lost.
Your dagger, soap, Lock, and 4 of your days rations

Light: The fallowing items from your inventory has been lost.
quarterstaff, waterskin, 3 of your rations, bedroll, sack, flint and steel, 4 candles, two pieces of parchment (one salvageable but soggy) ink, inkpen, spell component pouch (pouch is in tacked but materials are mostly ruined. Spells requiring material components are likely to not be able to worked, check and I'll tell you if those materials survived.), travelers outfit is damaged but not destroyed, and all but 54 gold, and believe it or not, the dice said you kept the necklace. :P BUT you've lost your familiar in the wreck, but You're not going to loose you normally would sense it's the start of the game.


Heh, yeah, welcome to the start of your campaign. >:)
You can either A. Put an Astrix next to lost items or remove them from your list. Up to you. >>

That wasn't terrible for me... Guess I'll just have to look and see if there's anything salvageable and maybe for survivors.
