Thanks, That's what I remembering, but I wasn't quite sure. I've removed 2 coppers from the character sheet. Or is this part of lifestyle charges?

It's game spending, due to being optional expenditure, but coppers (Dits) aren't something I'd quibble over!

I've been waiting for the dwarf to post, since I jumped in on his intro, that's why I haven't posted again yet.

 I thought so, no worries! 

Anyone who wants a little more world background and lore, I have set up a campaign wiki on Scabard.com. If you wish, enroll with a free "player" account and PM me your username to be added.

I've added a continent map, info on many cities and locations (more will be added) all of the deities and other background information.  You can have a fully editable character page, including secrets. I'll add in things like bespoke clerical spells as well for any who want them.

When you have been added, look for the Belinath page in "places" and select the map tab. Pins are clickable through to the relevant pages. 

We may have had a couple of players drop out. I assumed some might - everyone has their own preferences and time commitments.  It's been a little slow, I know, but I didn't want to rush people in the early stages. I wanted to allow some free time for people to interact a little without it being tied to a plot hook.  Personally, I like to find my feet with a character before going "full-on adventure" and the same is true when I GM a new party.

However, please do feel free to let me know if things move too slow or too fast for you and I will try to adapt. I've seen so many threads with "post at least once a day" rules.  I get that this moves things along, but so long as you are comfortable I'm happy to work at whatever pace you can post. RL gets busy for all of us after all.  Also, tbh, I haven't quite worked out if we are all in the same timezone or not - which does have a bearing on things!

In any case, I'll move things along now to take you out of the tunnel - though you do all need to interact with the administrator to do so (if you can understand a word he says!).

I am still here and willing to move at any pace that isn't MORE than 1 post per day. Sometimes GMs require "multiple posts per day" and that's not something I can reasonably ascribe to. And it does seem that we may have lost a player or two, I think? Sorry for my absence this weekend, busy weekend with Mother's Day and taking my family up to Lake Michigan to see the Northern Lights on Saturday

 Sounds like a pretty cool trip.  Missed the lights over this side of the pond, though they were visible on Friday locally. That was mid point in my run of shifts, so I prioritised sleep! Peak activity on Saturday and Sunday was before it got dark enough to see it, so I'll have to wait until the sun has its next excitable moment.

I'm absolutely fine with play progressing at a speed people are comfortable with. "RL comes first!" was the prime directive on the old Lords of Legend forums I used to frequent and I think that is as it should be. Hobbies that become a chore or obligation create an extra burden, rather than bringing some relief and creativity into your day. We are very much about the relief and creativity here!

 That is exactly how I feel! It's always good to have the stars align in those regards. Sorry to hear that you missed the lights, it was pretty cool (also cold temperature wise! LOL) for my kiddo to see. He got to see the solar eclipse and now the aura borealis without having to travel outside our locality. 

Ooo, I bet y'all are cold up there, I haven't seen Northern Lights since I was a kid and lived up north. But I got to see the eclipse down here, it came right through my town!

I'm definitely on the RL comes first page. Weekends are usually pretty busy for me, and I like to try and keep to one post a day if I can otherwise, but sometimes it stretches out a few days if work and farm chores pile up. I do play-by-post for the reason that I can do it when I've got time to relax and enjoy some creativity, and don't have to try and carve time out for a real-time game, since I've found that pretty much impossible to do on anything like a regular basis.

I plan on continuing to post, whenever Rin has something to do or say. Looks like I'll be retiring, so I'll have plenty of time for games.

By the way, should we deduct the charges from our character sheets? If so, how much were they?

It appears that I, that is to say the Administrator, forgot to say! 2 SP. Best of luck with retirement as and when it comes along! I'll add another post for those that have their tokens now.

Removed 2 silver and added Staff token 897 to Rin's inventory.

Same! 

But Gwen gets Staff 56! Staff 897 is Rin's! :-)

"...my precious...' LOL

Just a note that Rin herself was a cut purse in her younger days.. till she tries stealing the coin pouch of a wizard. She still has the skills to pick locks or pockets. So maybe she knows what to look for to avoid being a target...

True - duly noted. Should have remembered that - sorry. Will amend.

Here is a picture of Rin's Wizard staff:

I gave her the actual Wizard Staff my dad made (he made the staff itself, not the head). It was originally a solid stick of diamond willow. He did all the hollowing out of the knot holes, wearing out many drill bits in the process.

I tried to drop in the picture directly, but I couldn't get it to actually display :-(

I managed to get the staff picture embedded :-)
