I will get his weapons and inventory done at some point this week. I may take some liberties with his inventory and see what it looks like. Rope to micro climbing cord type stuff. That's the idea. Just come up with something and if it's within the thematic ballpark and doesn't add too much utility ...

Well, hopefully it won't bother you to the point of no enjoyment, because as the recruitment posts indicated, things will be cheapened with loads of laser swords.

Character rosters are up. Later this week a premise will be posted, and next week we will begin!

Giving these rolls, I will try Soont Waldas a Human Dai Ashla (Lawful Cleric)

There are three primary combat tables that player characters will use. My prediction is that the Man-to-Man and D20 tables will see much more play than the 1:20 Mass Combat table, but all three are provided for completion's sake. The descriptions of when to use which table are a little vague, so we ...

I'll send out the relevant Chainmail combat tables this evening, and put them in their own Combat Rules thread for easy reference. After that, I have finals grading to do all this next week, during which we can continue with characters and questions, and I'm hoping to get the game rolling the week a...

Oh, dear. Get well soon!

Does everyone have a copy of Chainmail? Having the combat table will help with determining what type of weapon or armor you might want.

HP: [2d6]=7 With the +1 at 2nd level, a total of 8. 10111 Love the spells! We'll determine costs for the items tomorrow. What weapons are you using for your lightsaber and blaster? A normal sword is a good bet, but a two-handed sword is terrific in Chainmail and also feels lightsabery (though obvio...

The only thing I just caught is that Gore's 7 Health should drop his HP to 14, from the -1 to each die.

Looks good, Rex! Here is (I think) the list of everything we need from characters to begin: Aside from prime requisite XP modifiers, the only hardcoded ability score modifier goes to Health, which determines hit dice adjustments: Page 6 (PDF page 12) Health Modifiers 6 or less: -2 from hit dice (min...

A magic-leaning jedi would be fun, and sort of a mystic wizard portrayal. If you picture Yoda's original depiction, I would say he once trained up to level 4 as a fighter only as the required training, and otherwise spent his 800+ years pursuing nothing but enlightenment and wizardry. We'll play jed...

Dicey (Jedi, 10%/10%): Hero (4500/4500)+Medium (0/1800); OR lvl3 Seer (4500/8100) If I understand this correctly, a jedi can be a 3/1 level F/MU or a 3rd level MU? If so, I’ll go with 3rd level MU so as to get more spells/jedi powers. Roll HD, just once for your current level mustering out. All HD ...

Suddenly came down with a cold, too! So it looks like I might not get full character tables out until the weekend. In the meantime, since we're beginning with 4.5k, I suggest everyone do the following: 1. Roll HD, just once for your current level mustering out. All HD are d6. Jedi who are twin-class...

I hoped to get more character information up tonight but I've had to prep for class a lot more than expected, so it'll have to wait.

I am having a hard time reading the dwarf section. What level do they max at? They max at 6, Myrmidon. Here's what I have on them: [page 3.] If they [the players] choose to be magic-users or fighting men they have the additional option of playing as Elves or dwarves. Elves find secret doors easier,...

Interesting suggestion! I can readily accommodate either way, so I think we just might. It will also give us a stronger idea of how Chainmail combat scales with the game right off the bat, instead of having to wait around forever until characters finally start fighting as 2 or 3 men apiece. It also ...
