Hello Amians,

I thought I'd try my hand at this alternate beginning nonsense. The premise is for a group of 6-8, from humble beginnings and lives, to start a new life on the road--becoming adventurers by choice or necessity. Acceptable classes will be rogue, fighter, bard, sorcerer, and druid, cleric and wizard by requesting it from me with a reason for this less-than-banal background. For all intents and purposes, the go-to for this event will be plain, unimportant human. No tiefling, aasimar, or dragon blood, or any other such things. Vanilla human. Half elf will also be acceptable, however.

It will be an interactive event, with a direction largely influenced by player actions; however, working across a plot line I have put together.

Post your interest here, for now. Thanks, loves.

Is there a timeframe for this?

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Mon, Jul 15 2013, 2:14 AM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

It will be a persistent event, where there will be regular events but you can play the characters in-between events. My timezone is PST.

I'm certainly interested.. But I'm on an Australian time zone..

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

The premise will probably have one event a week, and you'll be able to play your character in the mean time. My time fluxes between being on very early, and being on very late, so chances are I'll be able to accommodate most folks at some point.

I'll give it a whirl!

Author:  Cratz [ Mon, Jul 15 2013, 15:25 PM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

I might just try this. Maybe it'll help me make permanent return.

May be interested as a rogue. Any idea on a deadline for applications?

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Tue, Jul 16 2013, 18:37 PM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

I was gaging interest first. I'll be sending a mass PM out soon with more about the premise so you can start brain storming.

I would be interested in this, I am new here and this looks like a fun way to explore the servers more.

Mass PM is on its way in a few hours. Post now or hold your peace. <3

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

This is fitting with a character idea I was toying with. I'd enjoy a chance to see more details on what you were planning, although I'll probably only join if there's enough room for me.

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

With the deadline approaching, I'm interested. No specific character idea as of yet though. But we certainly need more humans running around.

I'd like to throw my hat into the convo. Female Beautiful Human, Rouge, ex con just released from Cordor prison, is what I was thinking. She was sentenced to Five years after being found guilty of trying to rob a Noble Manor. (to feed her siblings.) Heart of gold, speaks with a forked tongue. Tough as nails. Starting a new life, with strikes already upon her name. Mya Tearstone is her name. Job wise Im thinking Thief. spy ,gem cutter. :)

Alright sugars, the mass PM went out, so applications for this event are closed for now. Late joiners will likely be welcome at a later time, if there is interest, so do not despair!

Did I miss by chance, or from not having a specific idea?

Nope, just accidentally missed you. Sent!

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Hey loves, some of you have been asking--multiclassing will be allowed, and you will be starting at level 2. I only ask that you let me know what you intend, so I can make encounters for you to go down that path and make it memorable. <3

Sounds fun. I would also be willing, should you find yourself in need of another player in the future. :)

Hey, if a spot opens up, I'd love to make a pure sorcerer. :)

Sent all of you the premise, my loves.

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Alright kiddos, here is the skinny. Preparations are almost all made for the event, and I'd like to see about conducting the initial event this Sunday some time, since it's my one day off from work. Get in your premises, asap!

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Mon, Jul 29 2013, 4:10 AM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Hi everyone, apologies for missing tonight. Spontaneous stomach flu. Spent most of the day in bed. Will get back to you Monday about the new date.

Author:  Charles1810 [ Mon, Jul 29 2013, 4:26 AM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Get better!

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Mon, Jul 29 2013, 4:48 AM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Also, I've picked through everyone's concepts. Everyone who applied (with exception to those I've contacted and I'm waiting a response from!) are all accepted, go you!

I want to make it known to not be too in love with the planned builds you have for your characters, just in case something happens to radically change your PCs path. That is the kind of event this is. Also, leveling should be done as a group, so no one gets left in the lowbie dust. <3

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Mon, Aug 05 2013, 17:46 PM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Okay, here is the final list of everyone in the event (hand-picked by your lovely still-sick DM who is now alive enough to climb to her laptop!):

OursIsTheFury
CratzBlade113
Charles1810
Gers
Casvenx
JusticeXIII
DemonKitty
msheeler
NaturallyCaffeinated
VKB
harbinger

The date is set for Wednesday. I'm putting noon PST as the time, but it's allowed to change since it's my day off and I'll be clearing out the entire day, more or less, to run this for you lot. <3 Between now and then, you can make your characters, ask for clothes to craft, change heads, perfect the look, and what not. Enjoy, my Hugglebuglings!

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

I likely won't be free Wednesday til 4pm EST.

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Hi guys. Looking forward to the campaign, but I don't know if I can make it before 4:30pm EST. I will try to be there as soon as I can. :)

Btw, later is always better for me :)

Crap... now I have to figure out what the hell timezone Arizona is in now. Can't the rest of you get rid of daylight savings already?

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Pretty sure it's in PST.

EDIT: Nope, I was wrong, it's in MST.

Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

How is 5pm EST, then?

Author:  VKB [ Wed, Aug 07 2013, 6:47 AM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

5 PM EST works perfectly for me.

Author:  Charles1810 [ Wed, Aug 07 2013, 16:16 PM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Should be fine for me as well.

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Wed, Aug 07 2013, 20:41 PM ]

Will be starting after reset on A.

Author:  Casvenx [ Wed, Aug 07 2013, 20:55 PM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Doh, misread hat to be 5pm PST.

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Wed, Aug 07 2013, 21:43 PM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

This is starting shortly. Get on now.

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Thu, Aug 08 2013, 0:09 AM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Cough. Forgot someone on the list. Broldi, you are also approved. You, and all other late joiners or people who missed the event will be given a special second event for a way in, apologies!

Author:  Burningoutbright [ Thu, Aug 08 2013, 7:56 AM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

Great first event, folks. As a reminder, you are permitted to play your characters between events with the stipulation that you do not go past level two for now, since we're still waiting on our late joiners who missed today's event. When I get my schedule for next week, I will let you know about the official "event day". Those who missed out today, contact me someway and we'll get you sorted.

Also, members from the event today, make sure to decide who will be the PC that mechanically owns the house, and whether you want it as the "shop" area, or the "house" area.

Author:  Casvenx [ Thu, Aug 08 2013, 9:59 AM ]
Post subject:  Re: Alternate Beginnings: Unlikely Heroes

I think the question got missed IG, so repeated here: Does that, who mechanically owns the house, make a real difference (like that character needs to be around to use it)? Is it an IC thing, or just an OOC one? There's a few newbies in the group, myself included, to whom this is new territory. :) Whats the difference between shop and house?
