Quote:
The land of Triman had for a long time time suffered under a brutal civil war, where different warlords lead their followers to the capitol Jarslav to demand the crown of the dead king Vladmir. Raiders from foreign land plundered at the border, and former soldiers and mercenaries banded together as brigands and highwaymen to plunder the villages.

Then the High Patriarch presented the kingdom the son of Vladmir, the young prince Ratmir. The beggar-knights of the patriarch and the people supported him against the warlords, and he was able to seize the throne.
You were all champions in king Ratmirs army, defeating the warlords and the brigands and the foreign raiders, and are now enjoying the stability that he brought as heroes of the people.
But as the king has grown older, there has been more and more disagreement with the old High Patriarch, culminating in the withdrawal of the beggar-knights right to act as law enforcers and then the beggar-knights refusal to disarm or take orders from the king and his men.
My idea is a rp heavy game where there are not always a clear cut path between wrong and right, in a country on the brink of civil war where gradually fiends will be made a larger part of the story as they try to influence some of the fractions, so prepare your characters to be able to fight both men and demons
Game Description:

Setting introduction
The land of Triman had for a long time time suffered under a brutal civil war, where different warlords lead their followers to the capitol Jarslav to demand the crown of the dead king Vladmir. Raiders from foreign land plundered at the border, and former soldiers and mercenaries banded together as brigands and highwaymen to plunder the villages.

Then the High Patriarch presented the kingdom the son of Vladmir, the young prince Ratmir. The beggar-knights of the patriarch and the people supported him against the warlords, and he was able to seize the throne.
You were all champions in king Ratmirs army, defeating the warlords and the brigands and the foreign raiders, and are now enjoying the stability that he brought as heroes of the people.
But as the king has grown older, there has been more and more disagreement with the old High Patriarch, culminating in the withdrawal of the beggar-knights right to act as law enforcers and then the beggar-knights refusal to disarm or take orders from the king and his men.

Practical stuff:
This will be a role play driven game set in the homebrew world of Triman (east Europe/medieval Slavic flavoured world)

Limitations:
1. This is a setting with humans as the only playable character race
2. The groups purpose will be good aligned, but you can be neutral or evil as long as you have a strong motivation to follow the group and aid it and its causes
3. I want at least half a page, but no more than one page of background for the character. The background should have details about more than just growing up. Remember that you are to play a competent 10th lvl adventurer!

Character creation:
lvl 14, 50 point buy, no stats above 18 at first lvl
human only
half hp each lvl
wealth by lvl
no psionics or tome of battle

Approved books:
Players handbook 1 & 2
All Complete books are ok
Unearthed Arcana
Book of Vile Deeds, Book of Exalted Deeds
Libris Mortis
Fiendish Codex 1 & 2
Dmg

Request anything else, but no books bringing in new mechanics, like Tome of Battle / Complete Psionics

Define 'a page'?

Do you mean a 'Page' in Microsoft Word, or a Page worth of posts in Mythweavers(and if that's the case, how many posts do you have set to be a page for you?) or something else? Also, if you mean Microsoft Word, my what font and line spacing are your perferred use?

Are we allowed to use the Leadership feat and other feats that allow us to have cohorts/thralls/apprentices/etc?

Wilder Thrallherd okay?

I assume he wants half the life story of a page, possibly one to a great knight or some courtly lady.

I'm interested and simultaneously torn between character ideas. Is this finally the time to make my knight of fear(saves)?

The difference between an Ultimate Weapon and a Self Destruct Device can be very slim.

This looks awesome. Question though: Without spoiling too much, can you tell me if very much adventuring will take place outdoors or in large enough spaces for a mount? One idea I have is for a mounted character, but if that would be impractical it would be nice to know so I don't waste time with mounted feats...

FYI, for those interested, Narmoth is a good story teller. I'm already in one of his games in this setting. And it's very entertaining/suspense filled.

I would love to play the (cooperative) evil guy!

This does sound interesting. Since we served as champions to King Ratmir, are we fairly well known to the land? And have we most likely worked together before?

Also, when do you plan on closing the ad? I want to know if this game would be starting soonish or if it'll be more like December.
