Ask the GM

This is where you can ask the GM anything.

Do I need to worry about a character description? Or are we just going to be running for our lives and PC hair and eye colour will not be an issue?

Totally up to you. Though you will not be running for your lives, at first....

Can I get a ruling on an acceptable weapon for a magic user? I'd like to use a sling/bullets if that's acceptable (it's a small weapon but more of a judgement call for the DM). Also, just an fyi, my character carries a quarterstaff (but not as a weapon - likely be used as a pole if a dungeon is actually in play).

Also, another question. I see you've assigned spells to the spellcasters rather than have the players pick their own beginning spells. It's likely I'll try to 'spell-swap' with other magic users in the party to broaden my utility. Do you see an issue with that (or was the spell assignment a particular mechanic for the playtest)? Thanks!

I always allowed Slings/darts for MU, since they need some sort of ranged weapon.

No problem on sharing spells, I just wanted to avoid the sleep spell. Of course, it is up to the other player if they want to swap spells.

Is there a campaign ID for this campaign? I've got a character sheet for Othmar but it's still floating in space...

The ID is 155.

Cool! I have added.
