DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

Remember you need a pistol, powder, and bullets. Otherwise, you just have a super expensive hammer.

@JBRam2002 I was already considering that. But considering the people who don't have their stuff yet are newer people (excluding an obvious person), I'd rather wait. Of course...having example play prior to them having their sheets could be helpful, too, I guess?

@Big Dread 51g + 18g (average of 10g (two handaxes) and 26g (light crossbow and 20 bolts)) = 69g(iggity)

I'd be happy to do random rolls for anybody else, too~

Suppose I could roll the other five trinkets now...I'd rather wait until the character questions are answered, though.

(Honestly, if someone wanted me to make their character, even though it would be a disservice to them and make it harder to learn all the things, I'd do it so we could play)

Guns do not count as martial weapons. But if you rolled high on the money roll and gave those two up, I'd count that as an extra 50g. <.< Might be able to afford a pistol. Could add in the hexslinger fighter option. Wouldn't kick in until level 3, but you wouldn't have to worry about powder anymore. >.>

But yeah, I can help, too. 5e is at least SUPER easy to learn. It's not like 3.5/Pathfinder. -shudder-

Or GURPS. -convusions-

DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

Actually don't know the situation with the two who haven't said anything. >.> I've been wondering about that myself.

If they come back, they're welcome to play. These two can go ahead and join in, too. ^~^ I can handle 6-8...just don't expect me to remember who everyone is playing and all their abilities without looking it up. ^//^ (Which, to be fair, will be easier on a forum than in a live game). More people = more subplots or potential main plots or simultaneous subplots. O_O ^~^

DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

I saw. ^~^ You're fine.

DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

If you want them to be public, go ahead and post them there.

I got answers from @JBRam2002, @The Harbinger of Ferocity, and @Ms Ravenwinter for these already, so this is directed to @Monster, @Mesonyx, and @CaughtInTheRiddle. These are questions to help flesh out both your characters and the world. You don't have to answer all of these, but PM the ones you want to answer (and the answers, obviously, preferably when you send the link to your sheet) to me. And any questions you have. Including about the system. I wanna help!

The Questions

These questions are all directed toward your character to see their opinions and worldview - and what in the world they have seen! The more you say, the more I have to work with, but if you don't have much to say, that's okay, too. These are just to get you thinking about it, not to make you uncomfortable in any way.

1) Why do you adventure? If you weren't an adventurer, what would you do? Is this your first adventure? What do you think of the non-adventuring life of most people?
2) Do you have any nicknames? Did you have any while growing up? Why were you given these nicknames?
3) What inspires your choice of clothing?
4) Where were you born? Where did you grow up? Where do you live now? (keep in mind, you're making up places for this)
5) Who were your parents - do you even know? Are they still alive? If not, what became of them? If so, do you get along with them? Are you yourself a parent? Have you ever been? Are you married?
6) What training do you have? Were you an apprentice? A student? Self-taught? When and how did you first learn you could do what you do?
7) What other jobs have you had?
8) What are the important moments of your life? (As in like the "where were you when JFK was shot/the towers fell/whatever other major events there have been" type of moments, both good and bad)
9) Do you have any likes? Dislikes? Hobbies? Goals? Especially goals. Have they changed over the years?
10) Who/what is your most valued person? Possession? Concept? Have they changed over the years?
11) Why are you that alignment?
12) Is there a line you won't cross, no matter what? Things like "I'll kill people, but only if they deserve it" or "I'll never kill a child, even if they're responsible for the deaths of hundreds, or possessed by a demon."
13) What is your greatest fear? What would make you happiest?
14) What is your stance on the new technologies of clockwork and firearms?

If you want your character to be world famous, with all their history well-known, I guess you can share the answers publicly, but I don't expect that. PMing lets it be a surprise to the group, and trust me, the answers I've gotten so far are AMAZING, and will be so much fun. Even when they didn't have much in them, and didn't answer all the questions, the answers added SO MUCH to the story. Seriously, you can answer one question with one sentence and still help out a lot. The more you have, the more I have to work with to make this more fun for you and get a feel for what you want in the game.

Also, want to confirm a few things. If you strongly object (as in, if these confirmations would mean you would leave the game), I am flexible with changing them.

> We start at 3rd level.
> To reflect us being 3rd level (but mainly 'cause I feel like it), we get the starting gear from our class and background and the starting gold from our class listed at the beginning of the equipment section.
> This last part was directed toward everyone, hence why I linked the three who already answered the questions.
> Here's another arrow. Because why not?
> I have more group questions, but those will wait until I have all the characters. These questions deal with the past, while the group questions will deal with the recent past through the present.
> Answers to the character questions are going to come up in the story at some point as subplots, or just added texture to a main plot (like if we end up in Ainford for Evyrless, or meet a huntress with a certain link to Lorenthar).

I want this RP to be as facemeltingly awesome as I can make it for you all, so let me be the fun DM your parents warned you about. Except cuter. And not nearly as stinky. And not covered in Cheetoh dust and Mountain Dew stained clothing.

EDIT: OH MY! The homebrewery thing seems to have expanded quite a large amount! And there are some extra rules for you guys to vote on! Neato! (I can't believe I just said "Neato!" like that's a thing a people would say).

DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

The delay is from only three people talking to me. <.< I can't be helpful and productive if people don't come to me. >.>

EDIT: ANOTHER GROUP QUESTION
So because of random rolls, JBRam2002's character, Draj, made friends with another character in his childhood. I dunno why I didn't ask this when I first rolled it and it got "accepted" as canon, but anyone wanna be his friend? They don't have to be from the southern continent (see the homebrewery thing) or anything.

DnD 5e - Beginner's Game

People have given me plenty to work with. I just haven't been keeping up with the homebrewery thing; too much Pillars of Eternity. ^//^
