I will drop out. Thanks for giving me a chance to play.

I will drop out. Thanks for giving me a chance to play.

Understood donjong. Thank you for playing.

Ok so we have:

Bodkin
Uthæs
Jůnger
Talesian

I will move us forward like this for now, and try to find us two new players. Game on!

[kwll]

Sorry for the late reply. I will take advantage of your offer to bow out as well. I probably started too many games at the same time and have difficulties to keep up. And yours was the last I entered. As there are people waiting in the queue, better give room for them.

That was fun though, and good luck to everyone for the rest of it. Thanks for having me.

[Edeldhur]

Ok then. Good luck with your other games kwll.

I have reached out to two potential players, but only one is available to join - I will continue down the list.
Now I stubbornly want to keep this game going.

Updates soon!

Welcome Revenant ranger.

[Edeldhur]

Thanks all! OK, I'll choose a ranger.

Here you go Sir! To make things easy, we can just say you have been a recent arrival in the small settlement, and while you were having a drink at the local inn called “A Villain’s Luck", you noticed a band of adventurers who came in with a ruckus, claiming they have killed goblins on the road, and seem to be on the lookout for more - after a few drinks, they went out to the Bleak Tower, the only symbol of authority in the place, to inquire about goblin bounties. Maybe they could use the assistance of an experienced tracker?

Greetings all and thanks to Edeldhur for the invite to the game. I think I will be playing a monk for this one.

Hello everyone! Looking forward to trying out some Swords and Wizardry

Looks like we have plenty of Swords, but not much Wizardry, so I'll play a Magic-User.

[Rex]

Welcome Aboard ybn1197 and archolewa!

[Edeldhur]

Welcome!

I will have pregens for you later today - you can start thinking about how your characters might be interested in joining the 'originals'. Nothing fancy, just to keep some consistency in the game
