Now that we have
six players signed up (or should have shortly) we need to get the PCs sorted. I’d
really like to go with the Pregens as these characters to me are The Enemy
Within as much as the intricate plot. It is however especially important that
you like the character you are playing and are motivated to post so if nothing
strikes your fancy here I could be persuaded to slightly alter the characters
e.g. Walter Weltshmerz instead of Wanda, make Johan more talkative, you get the idea. Alternatively
we could look at the pregens from the Oldenhaller contract or put your faith in
the dice gods though I’d rather not do that if possible. For one using the
pregens means we have nifty little character pictures to post at the start of
your actions so we know at a glance who is doing what, more on that in the
posting guide to come. Nothing quite says Enemy Within to me than those buff coloured pages.
Could you
all reply to this post with your choice of characters in order of preference
and I’ll see if we can make everyone
happy. Any conflicts of choice I’ll resolve randomly. Alternatively if you all
agree I can dish them all out randomly. Once done I’ll send you all out your
individual character sheets and extra background information. Due to the time commitments
of some players I’m planning to start with a first post on Friday the 18th
so we have plenty of time to get everything sorted.
Harbull
Furfoot. Halfling, male, academic, herbalist.
Wanda
Weltshmerz. Human, female, academic, wizards apprentice.
Magic and
some limited info on the forces at work in the world. Independent, thoughtful, head
strong.
Johan “Rowlocks”
Dassbϋt. Human, male, ranger, boatman.
Werner “Pickaxe”
Marrmann. Human, male, warrior, labourer.
Kirsten
Krank. Human, female, rouge, thief (general).
Malmir
Giluviel. Elf, male, rouge, minstrel.
A fighter
and a charmer. The wandering outsider.
Ideal preference would be Johan, but I'd be quite happy to get a random character if needs be.
ReplyDeleteKirsten could be fun too...
My ideal preference would be Malmir but I'd a random character would also suit. Perhaps that might be more appropriate if others agree?
ReplyDeleteFine by me.
ReplyDeleteHi Erny - I'd like to be one of the characters that can write (I'm considering writing a 'journal' from the characters point of view) - that being Wanda or Harbull. I like both characters and I have no problem playing a member of the opposite sex, if needs be. Personally, I feel like I relate to Harbull more, but I think Wanda would produce a more insightful journal.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like no conflicts of choice so far but still two or three people to make a choice. Looking forward to seeing your journal Gaj, will you start a new blog for it or put it on your current one? You are very welcome to put links to it from here.
ReplyDeleteHi there. I'd prefer Kirsten or Harbull. Werner would be my fthird choice -which is kinda handy since those are the three that are left.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I have no idea. I suspect it would be something seperate, as I presume different people would be interested.
ReplyDeleteAs regards choice, given Lead Legions list of wants and the fact that she would be a much better narrator, then I'll opt for Wanda as my first choice (to eliminate doubt).
I can take Werner. This is the list of players/characters I beleive.
ReplyDeleteHarbull - (lead)
Wanda - Gaj
Johan - Thamtsants
Werner - Daveb
Kirsten - (lead)
Malmir - oriygg
Indeed! I believe Lead Legion is leaning towards Kirsten so I think I shall keep Harbull in as an NPC. That way he is always there for someone to take over later on. Indeed a sixth player has asked to join but has not accepted their invite.
ReplyDeleteSo if nobody has any objection the cast stands as :
Harbull - NPC
Wanda - Gaj
Johan - Thantsants
Werner - Daveb
Kirsten - Lead Legion
Malmir - orlygg
I'll post out the full character sheets plus any additional useful rules and information soon.
Sounds good to me :)
ReplyDelete... Agreed.
ReplyDelete- being, as I am now, a man of few words ;)
I'm a bit late to supper on this... but if Harbull remains unchosen I'd take him. I've never played a halfling before.
ReplyDeleteAnd then we were six...cool. I didn't expect to fill all the characters.
ReplyDeleteThat's us off to a great start then. Good news.
ReplyDeleteI have just found an online copy of The Enemy Within! A very useful read for background and the characters. I have to stop myself reading up on the adventure itself though!
ReplyDeleteCannot wait for this to begin!
