Ok, so we are going to advance the timeline a bit for my own reasons. The current date is 12 Ches 1377DR, or the Year of the Haunting. While the region has been overshadowed by clouds and rain, the snow flurries have been rare, and the grass is becoming green again. Spring has come gently to Narfell.
The only player characters who are already in the region are Father Cyphus and his Helmites in Peltarch, Duke Cronabilis of Nathoud, the Fladerna Leto of N'jast, Melinda Eriksdotter of Hoarsbridge, Lord Tamare of Amorel, and Draegor the Liinch-karrl of Mistbridge. The rest of you have yet to create your strongholds.
As for more general news, we are going to be adding Rob to the list of DMs. Rob will be replacing Erik since the latter has been MIA and done jack shit to get things done. The game will officially start Tuesday, since we are transferring everything over to this site, but you are welcome to start posting in regards to your journey.
If your character is not done, get it done. I need to appoint someone extraordinarily anal to look thru the characters to make sure everything adds up, since that was going to be Erik's job as well, but feel free to start posting as John did about your journey.
Lastly, this is a MASSIVE undertaking. We will have slightly over 60 characters made and being controlled by some 25 players. It's going to require some patience, but also ALOT of initiative on your parts. Here are the basic rules for posting, once you have arrived at your chosen region of operations.
1. You can post the actions of your followers and cohorts for each month. You may also post counter-actions, but remember the timeframe.
2. Each region has 2 sections. The top section is for the general regional storyline, rumors, and developments. There will be a set of sticky posts per section that will specifically state these developments, including the rumors associating your own successes or failures, and then the subsequent threads are to play those out. The second section is for SPECIFIC adventures only. An example is that several heroes of Myrvokal, having heard that a dragon is stirring in the mountains, have sent a few of their cohorts out together to determine what is going on. You will play either your cohort or yourself in the adventure. Please DO NOT POST in these threads unless your character is DIRECTLY involved AND present either via scrying or physical placement.
3. Combat takes FOREVER. The way we do combat, is to decide surprise, initiative, then actions. When posting your actions, please post an alternative in the result that you are injured, your target falls, or a companion is wounded. Rolls for all of the above can be included and counted. In the event that something strange happens, and you fail to post your actions for a round, we will play it for you. Yeah it sucks, but so does waiting 3 days for the barbarian to swing his axe.
4. If you wish to converse with another character, feel free to do so either thru msn/yahoo/aim/email. Do NOT post your private conversations. The initiator of the convo MUST cc or copy/paste it into an email and sent to me or it will not have occurred.
5. Leveling and entrance into PrCs is limited, and based upon storytelling. If your character doesnt work at or protect a temple, dont count on going into Templar, etc.
6. You are free to post as much as you want and to be as active as you want with other characters, but realize that we will limit the amount of activity you participate in if its unrealistic.
I apologize for the delay, but I think everything will work better this way.
