[OOC] D&D 5E: Waterborne Adventures

[Lost Cause]

OK, I guess I'm interested. I just have no idea what to do beyond the general choice between Rogue and Cleric.

[Psyga315]

@Lost Cause Alright. I'll hand you a reserve spot.

@Aristocles @Jozarin @Jordan @BelatedGamer The game's now full. Again, I'd love to add you guys too, but balancing the game for more than six players can get a little troubling. As such, I'll put you guys on a "first to know" list in case people were to drop out or if I feel confident in handling more than six. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope your interest is still there when the call comes.

[Aristocles]

Alright. Thanks.

[Psyga315]

@Aristocles I have a word of advice: Make your character anyways, so you'd be ready to go instead of having to make the character when you get the word.

[Aristocles]

Alright. I shall. Thanks in any event.

[Rin]

So I think that's all the crunch done at least. Just need to patch together my fluff ideas now. ^^;

@Rin

Looking good. I'll wait for you to write up the fluff before I accept you.

[Lost Cause]

In the same vein, here's the sheet for our cleric. Fluff is pending.

@Lost Cause

Alright, so I'll wait for you to do your fluff too before I accept.

@Rin @Lost Cause give me a mention when you've made your fluff. We might be able to start early, though if not, we'll begin Monday.

I'm also considering doing the "everyone meets everyone" adventure where you guys will explore the first dungeon, unless there's any objections for it.

@Psyga315

I dont have any objections.

[Psyga315]

Alright, so I'll either start tomorrow or give Rin and Lost Cause some more time in figuring out their fluff.

[Lost Cause]

Here's the fluff as it stands; still need to come up with something for a goal.

• Name: Kohaku (No last name given)
• Race: Human
• Class: Cleric
• Background: Acolyte
  
  
  
  • Personality Traits: I’ve spent so long in the temple that I have little practical experience dealing with people in the outside world.
  • Ideal: Faith. I trust that my deity will guide my actions. I have faith that if I work hard, things will go well. (Lawful)
  • Bond: I would die to recover an ancient relic of my faith that was lost long ago.
  • Flaw: My piety sometimes leads me to blindly trust those that profess faith in my god.
• Important Stuff:
  
  
  
  • The Most Important NPC In Your life: Attendants of the shrine.
  • The One Goal You Wish To Achieve:
  • Island of Birth: Unknown – raised at a shrine on Lythiaco.
  • Reason For Embracing The Sea: Wanting to see and understand life outside the shrine.
• Backstory: Kohaku was found abandoned outside a shrine when he was very young, and was taken in by the shrine's attendants. It isn't entirely clear why they raised him as a miko but that's what they did. They taught him to be a healer, and all the other things he would need to be a part of life at the shrine. However, this has left him a little bit unsure about how things in the outside world work.

[nerminator]

hello, I would absolutely love to join this and I do but however I have never actually played DND before, so uh, I may be a bit nooby, if someone could show me the ropes that will be fantastic

[nerminator]

and what classes exist too

[Lost Cause]

Um... the OP says that all the player slots have been claimed.

[nerminator]

are you sure you can't just open up a spot just this once?, one of the people are reserved and they may or may not make a, please?

[Lost Cause]

That's entirely at the DM's discretion.

[Psyga315]

@nerminator

I said this before, I'll say it again. As much as I would love to, I can't on the account of the limit the game can have. Yes, it can have more players, but it will be busy work to focus on, since they're more than just characters. This is more than just a freeform RPG. Their skills and talents are given numbers which gives them a higher chance at succeeding. The powers they have are measured out in rules in what they can and can't do. How they live or die isn't dictated with a player's discretion, but whether they succeed or fail with their fighting or will to survive.

And the most important rule of all is that the GM has a bigger obligation to keep track of all that. And that's hard to track with more than a set limit of players. There's a reason I had to turn away those other people, because as much as I would let them in, I know that it'll be hard to integrate them into the game without complicating matters. I apologize to say this, @nerminator, but until a slot opens up, you're gonna be on the reserve list.

That said, I have a list of what classes are acceptable at the OP, where the reserved list is as well. Thank you though for taking the time to post. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you wish to learn how to play the game, here's a link to the Basic Rules.

Can't wait to get this baby on the road.

[Psyga315]

Can't wait to get this baby on the road.

@thorgili

Yeah, I might consider starting the RPG without the fluffs from Rin and Cause, with the downside being that I might not be able to make hooks involving their character arcs. Though that depends on if they get submitted in time.
