Just came across ORCPUB.com. Looks like it has some great tools for 5th edition character creation. Anyone have experience using this tool?
Haven't used that particular site, but I bought (you can get for free, but is so awesome I decided to pay for it) the More Purple More Better Character sheet at the dmsguild. com it is awesome, he keeps it updated to UA.
Omega: I can totally picture the Goliathscoming from the southernost part of Xen'drik, beyond and around the Fangs of Argarak (a mountain range that keeps the norhern jungle from the western desert).
SubsistCyber: Luck is luck... I guess the Sovereign host blessed your character when he was given birth.
I'll check ORCPUB.com latr from a desk. I'm not prone to use my phone for elaborate proceedings, just messaging and podcast listening. Even posting here goes beyond my usual habits for mobile browsing.
As we'll be starting at 4th level, you'll get your standard equipment and some random magic items. The first challenge will be to use them in the first chapter in innovative ways, they'll be a tribute to James Bond movies, in which he always gets the gadget he'll need later to escape some tight situation...
Do you still want us to roll magic items, or do you want to handpick them yourself (It may make it easier to design the challenge).
I'm currently into including your backgrounds in my first ideas for the campaign. It seems we'll start straight in Stormreach, just after getting some information on some locations everyone wants to explore.
You'd like to know which locations we'd like to visit? I'll look into it if so.
By the way Alex, can you put Casseil’s backstory and character sheet into spoilers?
I’ll second morepurplemorebetter’s character sheet. It is both beautiful and functional.
By the way Gonz, is Nutmeg joining us on out adventure, or did they miss the cut?

Well - Personally Lerithyn wouldn't mind visiting his nest again. :p Aldhara took him to Guul Draz before they boarded a ship to Sharn, so the nest can't be too far south from there (I'm sure he'll remember the directions when he's around that area lol). He'd also like to study the shrine that he destroyed in an attempt to repair it. That'd be near his nest as well.
As for the reasons he's going to be on this expedition, I thought you might tell me. He's a native +1, has knowledge of the dangers +1, has knowledge of the terrain +1, so perhaps he could be a guide or scout. Cannith most likely will give him another objective; however, and he'll attempt to appease them as best he can.
Another thing Lerithyn would like to learn is the art of Stoneforging. He imagines his newfound knowledge acquired from his studies while in House Cannith would allow him to excel in this craft and perhaps raise his skills above even those of the dragonmarked.
One thing he does't care to do is find his old tribe or try to reconnect with his mother and father. He's never held onto emotional attachments to the living, so he's never really given them all that much thought (he never even mourned Lillith's death).

When I read your backstory, I thought he was studying at Morgrave. Perhaps he's with Morgrave as a scholar for the expedition (Earning a spot on the trip because he was raised in Zen'drikar (does that portmanteau sound good? I don't think so...)), but Cannith has also given him a secret objective? "They gave him space to do his own research in Sharn and let him learn at his own pace." was what made me think he was a scholar at Morgrave.

No - He's been working for House Cannith the whole time as an unmarked artificer. He's been with them for around 10 years now doing whatever work he's been assigned while studying and learning on his own. He's had dealings with Morgrave, I imagine, and perhaps held lectures on Kor Signing and the flora and fauna of Zendrikar. It's a quick way to make money when the poster of a Kor is hanging on the walls titled, "Learn the secrets of the mysterious Kor!"
Hello, all. As usual, just a quick updates, as I'm about to start a D&D sessionin a local game store.
I'll do the magic items roster for everyone (It definitely will make it easier to design the challenge).
I can't promise we'll visit every location you suggest, but I'll do my best to include them in a way it becomes a memorable experience for your characters.
Nutmeg will be able to join us, but maybe his background won't be very relevant for the first part of the campaign.
@subsistcyber Is there a way to have a "private" thread which everyone can see but only a few can post in?
And finally... I've seen around here a very nifty tool to make game references to show up when you roll over its keyword... Does anyone know how to insert them in a post?
At this time there's no way to make a thread private. But I do intend on removing any posts that aren't relevant to the game when we start (as I'll do with any reported post in the play by post channel). Create a new thread with the title of your game and in the introduction of the thread, refer all new recruits to this thread. If anyone posts to join the game I'll just move it to this thread.
Remember, you can easily message a group of people as well like I have for our discord channel. It follows the same forum format for posting.
After a brief look, here are the locations Ra'sakar would likely want to visit with reasons in brackets:
Dar Qat (Infiltrate, Assassinate, Demolish goods (A goal he's considered since meeting his mentor.). I definitely don't expect this one to happen though) Valley of Shadows (I can't find info on what it is, but it sounds cool. Ra'sakar has probably heard the name and gained some interest in going there) Ring of Storms (Father and Older sister live below here. (He has an older sister (Pure Umbragen, from before his father met his mother)) His father moved back here after he left home) The Obsidian City (Mother lives here, was raised just outside of here)
I really doubt that we'd see these places, except passing through (or thanks to the Traveller's Curse), as Ra'sakar is a guide to the scholars, rather than a scholar (even if he is tied for most intelligent character - sidenote: I suppose that most of the scholars on the trip are NPCs then? Unless they are sending only four scholars).
Few updates on my character sheet, to reflect the rolled stats, and bases on that, also a change of feat: took Mobile, because he can really use more speed and not provoking attacks of opportunity. Now after casting Jump he can nearly fly... He is all about moving. Too bad now he must use the whip at a shorter range if he wants to use Booming Blade, but it's ok, he can still occasionally use it with reach if needed, just not with the spell.
Speaking of character sheets - MPMB's character sheet just updated and it now has compatibility with the Mystic, so that's saving me a bunch of effort with handling what disciplines and psi points I have.
I have a list of all the roles that our characters have (RP roles, not combat), Though I am unsure what is going on with Aukan, Omega's character. Omega, do you have a story for Aukan yet? Why they are with us? For everyone's reference, we have:
Aukan - Scholar/Guard from Korrenberg, Guide for some areas Casseil - Scholar from Morgrave Lerithyn - Scholar from Cannith (Secretly maybe other stuff) Ra'sakar - Local Guide, having run around in the Jungles for most of his approaching-300-year life (even during childhood) Sorgen - Scholar from Morgrave Nutmeg's Character - Guard form Cannith
Alright, everything is coming together, which I love and appreciate very much.
As a special homework, I'd like each and everyone of you to come and post an image of your character in action (just like the one subsistcyber did in Lerithyn's background) and a personal quote from them, like a catchphrase if you want to.
I'm preparing short introduction paragraphs that may introduce a few details on your backgrounds, please forgive me the liberty as I think it will make the party a little more coherent for the general storyline from the start. For example, I may need Zynx's character, Ra'sakar, to be some sort of an "underground agent" (reluctantly if he wants to) for the Wayfinder Foundation.
I feel confidant at saying we may start playing on Sunday.

About places I like to visit: all Zendikar is fine with me, and with Sorgen, Gonz knows it's true. :)
It's more about the voyage for me, and Gonz knows that too! :D

Scholar from House Cannith is fine. Any missions from House Cannith wouldn't be general group knowledge anyway.
