Dvalen shrugs at Throfroin's words. "If that prosperity brought the wyrm, then what good was it?" Dvalen slowly walks over to his home cradling his day's forage in his cloak. "I don't usually have this many visitors but I'll see what's in the larder." OOC: Foraging roll with Scav...

There is an awkward pause as Blundrin offers his hand as Dvalen considers his full hands and then drops his walking stick to clasp Blundrin's hand. He leans heavily on Blundrin until he reclaims his balance and is steady by the he finishes his news. Dvalen nods to each dwarf as they are introduced t...

I made one edit to my character sheet that you suggested a while back. I traded out Wizard-wise for Khazad-Dum-wise.

"Not wise to travel these woods without a shirt. I'd play for lower stakes if I were you." Dvalen calls out as he walks out of the woods. He looks every bit the hermit in a robe that started as elvish cloth but was since been patched with pelts, leathers, and in a few places very thick le...

Just noticed that I missed game start. Sorry everyone. Will try to post today sometime.

Iron Stomach is fun for a 2pt trait. Let's you eat almost anything without upset. As for your beliefs, try to add a part to them that is an achievable goal. So for your first belief: I need to build a good reputation to impress Gigriel's family. I will become the first Dwarf to trade with the Elves....

The Scavenging skill however has no all day restriction which is why the Instinct is written that way. When he wakes up in the morning, he takes a good look around where he is and scavenges anything edible to take with him.

(Thank you! You just taught me the correct spelling and meaning of tenterhooks. :) ) Whew! I was getting worried that people might be disappearing. Your sheet looks pretty good. The only thing I see is that you are still short an Instinct, and the two instincts you have are pretty similar. How are ...

Okay, final audit. I will launch the game-start this week. (Rusty, please post your sheet. Art, if you're joining us we can add you later.) Verrain - let's flip this one around? Enduring belief first. I must reclaim my ancient rune stones from Radigast. I must convince him it is time again for me t...

Just poking my nose in to let you know I'm still around and waiting on tenterhooks with baited breath.

Holidays have a way of filling your free time. Looking forward to see what you come up with.

I was thinking on a third belief and I came up with this.

Durgar has a destiny greater than he knows. I must cast the runes for him.

Hmmmm. Tempting. Of the three, I think I'd prefer the arena since I would like to get a handle on TRoS's combat system before trying an actual full length adventure with it.

You've said your "Whispered Secrets-Wise" led you to pursue your fate in Mirkwood (which is, after all, back on the doorstep of Moria/Khazad-dum, which your own grandfather fled) instead of accompanying your own father. (Your grandfather lived until you were 20, so you likely heard tales ...

I added my lineage as the fourth son of Thorin I. Is that cool or should I invent a brother of the king or something similar?

Name: Dvalen Lifepaths: Born Noble, Noble Ardent, Lead to Outcast, Runecaster Lead to ?, Crazy Witch, Lead to Being Really Old Age : 600 (He tells everyone he’s 599) Stats: Wi: B4, Pe: B8, Po: B3, Fo: B4, Ag: B4, Sp: B3, Stride: 6 Attributes: Ref: B5, Ste: B6, Hes: 6, Hea: B5, MW: B10, Greed: B5, Ci...

They get spent on your stats.

Rusty, try making your character on this website https://charred.herokuapp.com/#/

It has a lot of stuff automated so it might help guide you.

I also have a PDF of a character burner worksheet I could send you if you want.

It has gotten awful quiet. Anybody need a hand with something?

I am also in the camp of being intrigued by TROS but never have played it. If a GM shows up, I would join a game.

Fun fact: I was in a gaming group with Jake Norwood for a time, but he had moved on to Burning Wheel at that point. Really fun guy to game with.

By the way, the reason I have two beliefs blank is because I would like one of them to be about another player and the last one to be about where this rag-tag group is headed. Now my guy is pretty Mirkwood focused so I am hoping the group is OK with at least part of our refugee route passing through...
