this seems interesting. placeholder

going to start working on a character tomorrow. A warlock or a warlord, still trying to decide better

I'm assuming since you invited me I automatically get in, I just have to make a character?

I'm thinking goliath warden or avenger of Melora that has a vendetta against technology.

That or a warlord or cleric of Erathis that promotes the advances in technology, whichever you'd prefer.

Yes, Phoenixfire. You get in as long as you make a character.

Remember everyone, I may just increase the number of members to five if I find a really good character.

do you have the second player's handbook?

Eaglewing · Apr 14 '09, 1:37am

As of today, yes I do have the second player's Handbook. I've yet to read it, but I will.

Well, I guess... All right - I'll bite. But you never said when you meant to close applications. Nor what we should expect from this game. That might be discouraging people from applying.

Tangarth Redhorn, Male Minotaur Fighter

Tangarth Redhorn is the eldest son of Angrus Redhorn, tribal chief of the proud Redhorn tribe of minotaurs. He was the tribe's fiercest and mightiest warrior, and also amongst the most dull-witted. Nevertheless, no one dares tease him to his face, for he towers almost 7 and a half feet from hoof to horn, and presents a most fearsome sight especially in his suit of armor, custom-made of overlapping metal discs. He even wears a steel helmet complete with holes for his horns. Other warriors joke that this helmet protects his least vital area.

Tangarth's father was a much shrewder minotaur than his eldest son, and as his two strapping boys grew, he realized that Tangarth would never be able to fill his shoes and rule wisely for the good of the tribe. Though leadership in minotaur communities is usually either by heredity or martial prowess, the chief named his younger and much cleverer son Grusthor for succession, passing over his eldest. Tangarth was furious at this choice. He knew that the position of chief was rightfully his, both by birthright and by virtue of his obvious physical and martial superiority over any other members of the tribe. He challenged his brother to trial by combat, but Grusthor refused to raise arms against his kin and Angrus loudly proclaimed that he would not allow it, and the decision was final. In a rage, Tangarth damned his brother for a coward and his father for a cheat, swore off his tribe, rampaged through their settlement, and left to seek his fame and fortune in the wider world.

Since then, Tangarth has been wandering from place to place hiring himself out as a mercenary. Though his fiery temper and impatience makes him somewhat difficult to get along with, employers respect and appreciate his battle prowess. They especially remark upon the devastating blows the minotaur can deal with his enormous two-handed maul, which his brother had long-ago given the name "Maul of Phallic Compensation." Tangarth does not know what that means, and he vaguely believes the big words are a testament to his might and stature.

His travels have led him to Ven, because he hopes that he can communicate with his ancestors, and that they might support his claim to tribal chief.

Yes, can you please elaborate a bit on the setting and what you expect the general feel of the campaign to be? I get that it's a high tech/high magic hybrid sort of thing, but it would be nice to know a little more about the world.

Eaglewing · Apr 14 '09, 3:03pm

Ok. What to expect from the campaign will actually change depending on the PCs' decisions. That is, the world will grow around them.
