Spears do not kill people, blood crazed adventures kill people.

and

I fully support the idea of having more then ten arrows in each quiver.




Ahem...ok

I was thinking we could also have a list of "sometimes around folks" these could be merchants, rangers, a thief, and so on that one could use for color and to be guests in the tarvern and so on. I was thinking 1 "classed" NPC for each 3 NPC (the rest are zero level folks just passing by.

I vote for Elmo the ticklish ranger who is pretending to be a drunkard....

Is this thing still active? I cant believe I just NOW found this thread.

Yeah, it went dormant for a bit, but its still active.

Whatcha got for us, Ston?

A Funeral Home of course. Tomb builders, Coffin makers, Pyre builders, Gravediggers. To satisfy every post mortiem desire for you and your loved ones.
Maybe by this weekend.

Cool. Every town need that. Looking forward to your entry.

No necromancers? Surely we need a town necromancer!

I just posted another. It needs a little work but the basics are there. The rumors are pretty boring, though, but otherwise I like it.

Thanks for the submission, Stonjuz. Looking forward to it being fleshed out.

I added some rumors. Any suggestions (besides necromancers) for our funeral parlor? Dont think that I wont welcome any.

I cant think of a better scenario than a group of kids storytelling about danger and ghosts and traps, in a funeral parlor. No telling what pops up.
And also the cleric who refuses the party's request for RAISE DEAD.

So over at the Knights and Knaves Alehouse, home of OSRIC , they've come up with an idea of building a magazine. Now that Fight On! and some of the others are gone, they are looking to do something real old school in spirit and feel.

As Stuart Marshall put it:
Subject: Knights & Knaves Alehouse Magazine

I'm perfectly happy for K&KA to host a free magazine. It would need to support the site's objectives as set by Jerry Mapes: Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons, Traveller, Call of Cthulhu, Boot Hill, BRP-based systems (including Runequest), the K&KA-specific retro-clones (being OSRIC and Swords & Wizardry), and certain miniatures-based or hex-and-chit wargames----a scenario for ASL or Panzerblitz per issue would honour Jerry nicely?

I feel like our town (with the caveat that we can also publish it if we want in the future as a whole product) would fit the bill. Always enjoyed the Judges Guild Magazines (Pegasus, etc) that they showed little bits of their world off one issue at a time. Now we're just doing a town, but who knows where it will lead.

The guy putting it together thought something from the PbP perspective might not be a bad idea either. I'd love to see us put together an article, or a running article, detailing "Old School Gaming the Play by Post Way! by the Unseen Servant team". But that's a topic for a different post which I'll put in General.

If we have some enthusiasm and willingness to do something like this, I'll merge the posts from whatever threads together, but as of right now I'm just gauging interest in doing something like this as a community. I think it'd be fun and interesting at the least.

Be well all, and let me know what you think!

Sounds great! Thanks for taking the ball on this project. Keep us posted.

Any interest in locations (inn's taverns, shops) that we may have published somewhere else in the past?

You're stuff?
Absolutely. And I believe DF doesn't care about republishing stuff done for them.

Yeah my stuff.

I have put some stuff up on DF and in RFI articles pubs, libraries, stuff like that

Huzzah!

I guess the one caveat would be as long as it fits in with ToniXX's concept for the project, which is currently a smaller town. Obviously that can change, but I believe it was our goal starting out.

Don't worry about formatting for the forum. If/when we submit this for publishing, all tables will be formatted as necessary.

THanks for the submission, btw. Good stuff for sure
