We've finished initial character generation. The only glitch I discovered after the fact is that we generated a Gnomic Fighting Man and Dwarvish Thief for one of the players, both of which characters are technically impossible under the Dwarf-Land rules. (Things get confused generating multiple characters in chat with a ruleset no one else has.) If it were just one character, I'd say fuck it and make him an exception, but since it's two, I'm proposing that we just switch the races of the two characters. That's what the listing assumes but I haven't talked with the player about it yet. Whatever, we'll get it fixed before play starts.
Each player generated three characters, any one of which they can play at a time. No new PCs are generated by a player until his old ones are all dead. I don't honestly care if the party pools gold, writes in backstories where all the guys with jackass ears are related to Uncle Assfucker McGillicutty, etc.
I'm conflicted on reseeding the Trait tables after a certain number of duplicates. Since we rolled up 12 characters, obviously there was some duplication of racial traits. However, that also produced some interesting synchronicities. This is essentially a playtest, so we'll decide after playtesting.
All the characters will presumably acquire names, equipment, and a background (also known as "a sentence") before the start of gameplay on Tuesday. (I haven't used real names because I didn't think to ask for permission and a couple of the players go by handles in the blogosphere.)

I'll own up to being player number 3. I expect my Dwarven Cleric will be the first to jump in the pool - I mean, the first out of the gate of my stable ;)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to next week.
These are very evocative. I especially like the "lives in" category. I'm going to move my family in to a very large mushroom immediately.
ReplyDeleteChomsky is too dumb to know that a gnome should not be a FIGHTING MAN. He is fighting against the moral slacktitude against the lazy gnomes and wants to bring back the moral wreckititude of the elders. 4INT be darned!
