A local priest named Erve went into an abandoned temple and haven't returned yet for three days. His faction, Order of the Gauntlet, put up a bounty of 200 gold pieces to anyone manages to save him - or what remains of him. Who will rise up to unravel this story?
Hiya folks! Welcome to the PbP forum! We haven't officialy started yet, one of us can join only in monday - so I think thats when we'll formally start. but that means more time for preparation!
for the time being you can share your character concept here or ask for others for idea on making your own character or even relate your characters! Remember; it's a cooperative storytelling. Don't be afraid to speak meta or use bahasa if you are comfortable either. We're here to have fun and craft story after all.
Also starting by introducing *yourself* would be cool! I'm Indra (Fatmoko, as our discord have another indra), I am 25-ish guy living in eastern jakarta. I have about 1 year of experience of DnD, mainly as DM.
Hi! I'm Dodaem here and in discord. I am new to D&D but I'm really enjoy it so far. My character name will be Rakhgur the apprentice monk that is sent by the Temple help find priest Erve as a sign of good faith and to strengthen the relation between the Order and the Temple. Still trying to give more detail for the background of Rakhgur. My hope for this campaign is more of role playing aspect. Excuse me for my grammar, I'm not used to speaking/writing in English.
I dont use this much and (don't require you to use a dndbeyond charsheet, cuz I don't often read those) but I think this can be useful to pool up the dndbeyond charsheet if you use it.
Lets assume its milestone. Also I can create an unassigned character with my library of DnD content in Dnd beyond. Once made, you can take it as yours.
@Neilysth: Well Richard still sounds fantasy-like lol.

If any of you already have a character in mind: here's some question you might be interested in thinking about your character.
Who are you and where are you from? Are you from nearby region or a traveler from faraway?
If you are from faraway, what brings you here to the Hillsfar region?
Are you specifically interested in this case (like Rakhgur the Monk Apprentice) or just a wanderer looking for opportunity for glory? You can also play out that the adventure starts at 2nd level so maybe you're already used to some dangers.
Do any of you an acquaintance with each other? Or you are different people that is united by this mission?
The default starting location will be in The Falling Leaf, a comfortable inn in Elventree where the bounty was posted, but it's possible to start out in other location. What beginning story would you like to have?
context : my character background is criminal / spy / assassin. First person reference refer to Richard.
backstory : My reason to went to jail was for assassinate a human princess from a kingdom near Ysmir. They had a caravan travel through a woods near Ysmir, and i took off some soldiers and the princess. I was sentenced to die hanged. Before the execution day, i led a prison gang. And for my surprise, a contact from the member of the gang forged an evidence of my assassination, and took me out from the jail with it. An innocent is imprisoned because of the forged knife. The family of the innocent is a witch, who know what "i" have done to their family, and curse me. My soul is corrupted because of the curse. One day, a local priest named Erve is called to an exorcism ritual for an unfortunate wood elf. In the ritual, Erve did a pronunciation error. Instead of pronounce the name of the poor wood elf, he pronounce mine. I got a terrible pain from it, because i am actually indeed have corrupted soul. For apologizing, he used long range communication magic on me, which is quite rare and expensive. But i told him i will punch him in the face for it instead.
other notes : My real name is unpronounceable by people with any language, even elvish (How did my parents name me that by the way?). So i choose one that you guys can relate, which is "Richard". Erve pronounce mine once though, but it was an accident.
note : Ysmir is from eastern side of the world, quite far from Hillsfar. It's the last place "Richard" was, before he had a grudge on Erve. He travel across the globe just to find him, and found the bounty in the tavern. He can be the first or the last from the party to found the bounty, but he will burn the bounty as soon as he sees it.
p.s. : Ysmir is my made-up place, can be replaced by any place far from Hillsfar.
Interesting. Poor Erve lol. Actually the Order must spread these bounty in many places.
(Shall we flex some roleplaying muscle? Lol) So in an inn somewhere, an elf stares intently into a paper of bounty - and burns it. The tall man behind the bar table watched it and rushed towards the elf.
"Curse your long ear! Those are THIS inn's property, MY property!"
The elf punches the face of the tall man, spit on the floor, and (attempt to) walk away from the tavern.
right after the elf punches the tall man, he says something in Thieves' Cant. What people hear is "Have a nice day", the real meaning is "I came here for Erve, not you, f*ckin' uncultured sw*ne!"

So is there any basic rules for our character progression? For example, our character progression is based on milestone or exp?
Lets assume its milestone. Also I can create an unassigned character with my library of DnD content in Dnd beyond. Once made, you can take it as yours.
Yeah, one shots usually uses milestone. The only rule I use is only use Standard Array for scores.
Am i the only one who doesn't use fantasy name generator?

Nope, I create the name myself.
actually, what i meant was "am i the only one who name the character with names like 'richard' or maybe 'david' and 'mark' as other examples.
Hmm some people might think names that is too real wordly breaks suspension of disbelief
by the way, i did the backstory in my character. it should be in the notes. But if that tab can only be seen by me, that's a shame
Feel free to share it here pal. Who knows the others can build off the concept or be inspired by it

if the plot allows it tho.
