So there has only been one TPK in this adventure so far? Sounds like things just got started, then.

I prefer to call them team building activities!

Hi, everyone. I'm looking forward to playing with some new people and with some old players with a new look!
Down to the nitty-gritty:
Both of the existing characters are attractive to me, but I reckon I'd rather create one for myself. Looking at the party balance, it seems to me that the group is in most dire need of a thief and a second cleric.
Thoughts?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking forward to playing this with you all!
I'm thinking I'll probably play a Fighter. I have some initial ideas around T-NU "Tina" the Robot Huntress (Robot/Xena)

Well, Scott, would you rather be a cleric or a thief? Or something else?

Depending on what others' preferences are, I could also go for a cat-person thief. So, let me know if you guys think that would be helpful? Our family cat has a few ideas in that department that I'm sure I could flesh out I'm not going to go for a spellcaster, as I'm not that familiar with AD&D 1e and want to keep it simple. So, somebody else would need to pick up the cleric, if we're going to have another one.

Could a mole-man be a cleric? I know they use dwarf racial stats, and dwarf clerics only exist as NPCs.
If Kinkajou is leaning thief, and Scott is howling at the moon, it may be on me to be the spare healer in the group. I'm OK with it.

We had a Mole-Man cleric PC, so I must have allowed it.

Wolf-men can be thieves, fyi.
That said, for my own selfish purposes, I'd like everyone to play whatever they are most excited by, whatever inspires them and will be the most fun for them.
I find that players stick with a game longer that way.
If the party is short on thieves, I can NPC Chaka.

Is it OK to buy a beast of burden?
Hans cannot carry a whole lot.

The PCs are shipwrecked. The animal wouldn't have survived.

I've got a virtual game convention this weekend, so I don't know how much time I'll have to spend on the Servant.

3.. 2... 1... Liftoff!
A day early, we have liftoff!
Welcome everyone.
After reading my IC posts, please read this:
For convenience sake, I'll retcon that the new characters, Hans and Jack, were with you in Chapter 1, scene 1, in the party that originally set out from the city of Denethix. They were lost in the shipwreck and presumed dead.
Hans and Jack notice the following original adventurers are missing:
Chaka, ape-boy thief
Jeojand, cat-man sorcerer
and Buck, mole-man cleric of Staark, iron golem of the forge.
Hans and Jack have never met Garamond/Moniqua before.
That's it for continuity bookkeeping. Let's play.

No apologies necessary! That was a great post. Write as much as you like.

For sure, Kinkajou! Posts like that will, for lack of a better expression, flesh out your robot.
