Life used to be simple in The Valley, before Morgia Thatch disappeared. She was a terrific teacher, pillar of the community some would say, others called her a living saint, she never crossed paths with anyone who'd do a thing to harm her. So where'd she go? Most of the adults say it must have been a sudden case of wanderlust; said she must've climbed the mountains and left The Valley like the Duccen boys did last year. No one believes that though, there's nothing beyond The Valley but empty plains for miles and she knew it. So where'd she go? The kids at the school say she went to fetch a ball for them, it landed over the fence and rolled behind The Big Rocks, the one they aren't supposed to climb on, and she followed, never came back.

It's time someone went looking for her -- the chill around those rocks isn't natural, even winter isn't that cold, so maybe there's something to what those kids have been saying after all. .


Welcome to The Valley! It's a simple place, full of peaceful farm communities and forests, and you and the other players will have full control over what happens while you're here, so world building should come about naturally from your interactions. Of course, it won't be long until you find yourselves crossing over to another dimension, and that's where I'll step in to provide a more active role in narration and general game-mastering, as things would work in a more typical RP.

Also keep in mind that if you have a cool idea for another world, you can PM me about it and if it's good I'll step down as game-master for that adventure and let you take over!

You don't need my approval when you post characters, I trust all of you to judge whether any character is too powerful or doesn't fit the theme but be aware I will ask you to change them if necessary. If you decide to make a Witch, remember that they're generally minor enchanters and alchemists, not all powerful wizards.

So let's get to work -- Morgia Thatch isn't going to save herself!

I assume the PCs are rather low fantasy? Are we like farmers, smiths, and the occasional militia man or what? Certainly an interesting and simple idea. I'm interested.

@SPAssemble Very low, limited mostly to cantrips and potions. But you're right on the money, these are average people doing very dangerous things. Welcome aboard!

@BelatedGamer

May my character be related to Morgia in some way?

Any way you like.

Also if any of you want to be related to one another that's fine, provided you both agree.

For sure! I don't put a limit on participants; the dropout rate around here is something like 50% so the more people showing interest the better.

Simplicity is bliss. I'll whip something up if you'll have me.

Refer to the post just above yours, Horrid, and welcome!

@sigurd I really like how to-the-point your character sheet is, particularly the focus.

That character is good @Horrid (can you really go wrong with intimidating, crafty women?) as long as she doesn't start out with the full suit of armor. It isn't really necessary for how peaceful the area is -- but something like padded armor with some chain or pieces of plate that she worked up herself would be fine. Maybe she modified some local militia-garb to be more protective?

But since it's only in the picture you don't have to change anything.

@BelatedGamer I forgot to mention that she was just going to start with your standard blacksmith attire, and I just used that picture for the face and hairstyle.

Sorry about the late reply. I'll work on my sheet in a bit, I'm currently out adventuring on my phone and won't be able to do much with my character sheet at the moment.

@Horrid That's alright then, I just wanted to make sure we were clear.

@Billsomething Only Human's to start out with -- more races will probably be introduced later. So you can make a human right now and if you want to pitch me another species you can PM it and we'll work out when to introduce them.

@RainDash We won't be starting for a little bit, take your time.

I assume the tech level of the Valley is pre-renaissance? I was thinking of playing some sort of Librarian/sage apprentice dude with minor Pathfinder cantrips, lore skills, and some general crafting skill like your standard low fantasy wizard. If that's okay with you I can post a CS buy the time you reply.

@RainDash I like the sheet, it's cool that we finally have a witch on the team.

@SPAssemble Sounds okay to me, you should probably make a note as to who his mentor is.

@VarionusNW Ha! I love that he's the town record keeper, there aren't many things less adventurey than that, good work.
