Re: Out Of Character thread

I'll go for a Thonian heritage, and Lars de Boer. A simple farmhand who wants to do more than plow, sew & harvest fields for the rest of his life.

Here is my character so far - https://savaged.us/s/lars

Re: Out Of Character thread

Right no one is allowed to be a minotaur..... Not that I don't mind others being minotaurs it's just I could only find one minotaur avatar image and I've nabbed it

You sure?

mcm054, mcm094, mcm237 (One I used in a past, dead SWADE game), mcm242, mcm 243 all seem like minotaurs to me...

Re: Out Of Character thread

Damn it and I checked all the places I thought I'd find them.... Cheers will have a look to see if there's a better one than the one I have

That's, where I went wrong I didn't look in the monster folder as I thought they would fall under Demi-human not monsters

I saw this shared on Reddit - I'm guessing this is what we are playing?

I'm going to be unavailable from tomorrow morning until Sunday evening, as I'll be camping & LARPing, with minimal phone signal or power.

Survive without me ;)

In reply to Player 2 (msg # 31):

Yes, it is (mentioned here: link to a message in another game). That campaign can be adapted to different fantasy setting and I'm adapting it to Blackmoor (but Blackmoor needs some adaptation to End Times as well).

Re: Out Of Character thread

I'm trying to finalise the setting details (next in line is the religious pantheon with all domains etc.), then I'll try and finalise the ruleset details.
We are getting close.

On the Gaming Resources thread I can see a Savage Worlds character sheet:

but I think it's too generic for our campaign. Does anybody have a more specific template more suitable for the Fantasy Companion?

Re: Out Of Character thread

Player 2:
Also, clarifying this from the ruleset information page
quote:
• The characters start with $500 (referred to as gp in this campaign) but no other weapon, armour or equipment unless it is specified by an Edge (such as a Trademark Weapon or Holy Symbol).

So we're starting with money, but are unable to spend it yet?

I can read that you will spend your first afternoon as part of the Adventurers Guild by spending your money (plus a small advance...) to buy your equipment at standard prices - at the end of the day I don't think it makes any difference.

Re: Out Of Character thread

Hello,

I got some enquiries about fast, furious and fun pre-rolled characters.... I think you may find something useful here:
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/p...filters=1600_0_0_0_0
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/p...filters=1600_0_0_0_0
These websites have been recommended to me, but please note that I haven't found time yet to check them out properly.

Does anybody else have some recommendations under this point of view?

Does this look a bit better to you? Anybody willing to propose improvements?
I started from the generic Savage Worlds character sheet posted above and I added some elements from this: https://d1vzi28wh99zvq.cloudfr...images/27/274629.jpg

Re: Out Of Character thread

Greetings everyone.

I'm considering going with a sneaky Gnome hedge-witch healer character who has a kitty familiar.


So the group has a healer?
I was thinking of playing a Dwarf Palladin or maybe a cleric.

How many ranged verse melee do we have?

I am most likely going with an half-elf or Elf ranger. But I am still fairly up in the air and flexible.

If we all feel ready, we can start playing on Monday. However, on the following week I'll be off.
What do you think?

I plan for Penelope to have at least the healing skill, yes. I've not yet decided about any form of magical healing.

Certainly you're welcome to play a Cleric/Paladin with healing power if that's your interest. Even if I go with magically healing, I don't see it a problem--looks like we are a big party of 7 at the moment. So plenty of bodies to heal.

Re: Out Of Character thread

Hi all.

Just catching up here. Do we know what everyone's playing?

I'm still learning the system -- is there some kind of template for fighter types?
