TheRedGoat Posted February 8 Clone Share Posted February 8 I have a question: what about things from alternative settings? There are official books for instance for settings that are not Faerun (specifically thinking of referencing the Ravnica book). Are we alright to write the characters as also coming from distant worlds if any book is allowed or should we perhaps avoid certain backgrounds? Mind you, I am not even thinking to make use of any special features, more just thinking about how to narrate things.

Steel Warrior Posted February 8 Clone Share Posted February 8 (edited) 5 hours ago, Zombie D Luffy said: Ha. Hadn't really looked at the sample yet, but it seems so. Back story is sort of similar too. I was thinking he was left by his child (possibly his lost thing) at the carnival as a toy and the carnival's magic brought him to life and he's been working as a hand since. I am not sure this goes with the premise of the module though. As everyone has had something taken from them and we had to wait 8 years before the Witchlight Carnival returned before we remembered what happened. Maybe something like, you WERE a boy and something happened and your soul was swapped into the puppet, and now you want your body back. An old man found you without your memory and you worked as a farm hand maybe?

PureChance Posted February 8 Clone Share Posted February 8 I thought the hook was essentially intended to leave us ignorant of the carnival and it's workings, save a few half remembered childhood snaps, though I'm not sure how needed that is - after all one of the backgrounds from the book is Witchlight Hand which implies the opposite Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie D Luffy Posted February 8 Clone Share Posted February 8 (edited) Yeah, because it's from the book and was part of the sample character, I assumed Witchlight Hand was available. It does seem to run counter to the premise. If it's not allowed, and maybe even if it is, I had another notion, that he was lost by his child and brought to life by the carnival and then went looking for the child in the larger world. Hearing that the carnival is back, he's returned looking for answers.

Cointhief Posted February 8 Clone Share Posted February 8 Full disclosure I have played the first little part of this on another pbp site (we actually played out the childhood experience in a session zero). The DM hook here actually doesn't conflict with that background...for reasons. I totally get why it appears to, however.

Guardian Angel Haruki Posted February 9 Author Clone Share Posted February 9 Sorry for the wait on answering questions everyone. 😅 But here we go...

Mind you, I am not even thinking to make use of any special features, more just thinking about how to narrate things. I would say that you can use official materials not from Faerun. However, considering the fact that the Witchlight Carnival is at a single stop at a world right now, and what the module holds in later chapters, I would like you to be creative with your backstories, and explain that role in your character's world. 23 hours ago, PureChance said: I thought the hook was essentially intended to leave us ignorant of the carnival and it's workings, save a few half remembered childhood snaps, though I'm not sure how needed that is - after all one of the backgrounds from the book is Witchlight Hand which implies the opposite It is, but a Witchlight Hand can be just as ignorant as a visitor... ;) 9 hours ago, Zombie D Luffy said: Yeah, because it's from the book and was part of the sample character, I assumed Witchlight Hand was available.

darlis moonbeam Posted February 13 Clone Share Posted February 13 (edited) Would a Feylost Harengon Ranger be an acceptable character concept?

Steel Warrior Posted February 14 Clone Share Posted February 14 (edited) I think I saw an app with someone applying with a Harengon, so dont see why not.

Can I get some help please Hi! Welcome to Myth-Weavers! All you need to do is to create a new thread in Character Applications and begin creating your Character for this game. Feel free to take a look around at the other characters and the Example Character to get an idea of what to make for your application. I would recommend making a character sheet using Myth-Weavers' sheets. Someone did try to use a D&D Beyond sheet, only for that thread to become hidden. ^^" When the end advertising date comes around, I'll be choosing who the players are. Feel free to ask any more questions if there's something you're not sure of, or if you need more clarification. ^_^ Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayeba Posted March 3 Clone Share Posted March 3 (edited) Haven't played on Myth-Weavers for years, but your game idea really tickles my fancy. 1. Is there a posting frequency requirement? I'm asking because I remember some games stalling while waiting for players. I appreciate a system where you as the GM can simply decide for a player (mostly by having them just idle or pass their turn) after for example 48 hours. 2. Is it advantageous to feature a character portrait in the application? I'll try to see if I can find one regardless, but I'm not keen on paying for an AI-generated one.
