He is the "ear" in the group. The sneak-knowledge-gatherer. Don't expect him to be good in a fight.
His walking stick is for defence and for cracking people's knuckles when they try anything on with him.
He has a 50/50 chance of any wizardly spell going off. Which I feel is about right for someone bumbling through such things.
He wears a mask when around others and changes the mask for a different situation. The only one with power currently is the brown monkey mask. All others are purely asthetic for blending in, with the alabaster white full face mask being his normal use one. "Some people have a different hat for every occasion. I have masks." Though that is him saying a lot in one go! He's usually very verbose.


He has always worn a mask, physically and figuratively. One day a traveller sold him an alabaster mask and he tapped into something raw and powerful inside him. Now he's on a quest to find out more about this innate magic, the mask's magic, and if he can make/find more.

I changed your character name accordingly, now you can move the character description in the above post into your user editable character sheet :)

'Lucky' Jack Ravencrest - background - ‘Lucky’ Jack is the sole survivor of the Battle of Zengis where his platoon, the Stonebridge Rude Boys were massacred by a band of Orcs led but Grushnut One-Eye the Great and Terrible. He is also the sole survivor of the March of Skulls, the flight from the Snakelands to Salmonis led by the now dead General Arbales of the First Salmonis Regiment of Foot, where 2000 men perished in the harsh desert as they fled the wrath of the Serpent Men.
When he survived the sinking of the Fourth Fleet of Blacksand off the coast of Blood Island by the Pirate King Corwyn Terrorwind he thought his luck had changed, four men clung to a narrow raft, set adrift on the ocean. Sadly as time passed one went mad from salt water and leapt to his death in the sea, one died from wounds in the battle and one other, Raymond the Cursed nearly made it to safety, unfortunately succumbing to a head wound he sustained when struck by an oar of the rescue ship.
‘Lucky’ Jack is a comfort to the party, after all , surely his luck will change and an expedition must be doomed to success?
Tall, handsome man, some scarring on his face, and body, legs, back. A badly scarred man. Veteran of many battles. Still dresses in the Blue and Gold of the Fourth Fleet.

Hey all.  You do not have to tell me who you are in real life, but I know a few people from Discord and real life that I might know could well be playing.  If you want to share who you are IRL please do!

I am Sam aka Bifford.

Glen aka SkinnyOrc.

Brian, appears as Kerr on discord, playing Jack.

The first adventure of the campaign is now ongoing, I'm switching off the flag requesting new players.

Query for our 100gc. Are we using city costs? And do you need details of everything eg how many candles bought etc or just big ticket items, eg new armour, weapons, spare horse etc?

Mark. VastlyBlank on Discord

Question re my character. Just realised it's not noted in the Heroes of Titan, but Quolion will have Dark Seeing yes?

In reply to Quolion of Yore (msg # 11):

I think you are right, according to the Corebook at page 30:
Please shout if you think I got it wrong.

In reply to The Director (msg # 12):

I agree with this Director ruling :)

Does anyone know the 'healing' rate for magic points?

In reply to Quolion of Yore (msg # 14):

"These points are available every day to a Hero, and are replenished by a nights sleep. If the Hero has disturbed sleep or less than a full night, the Director may reduce the number of points gained."

Page 67. It means you can use magic pretty freely in a wilderness adventure, but that's true in every RPG I can think of.

In reply to Eng-Dji (msg # 15):

Awesome, thanks. Just wanted to confirm before I start firing off spells willy-nilly once we're in a dungeon setting

In reply to Quolion of Yore (msg # 16):

Yep, confirmed!

Made a mess of my die rolling. Had in my head it was roll plus skill, which it isn’t. ( in my defence it’s the home rule I use for stellar adventures)But that was my first roll. So I did re roll rolling under. but if you’d rather use my first roll I got 7 on the 2d6. Sorry.

In reply to Jack Ravencrest (msg # 18):

At page 18 of the Stellar Adventuress corebook there is this optional rule for rolling:

I can't ignore it, as I sent a message to Graham recommending to have it available (and of course I don't know if he put in the SA corebook because of my recommendation or if it was already in the works...)
For this reason I will work out the outcomes of the first roll ;)

Next week I'll be traveling and probably I won't be able to post.

In reply to The Director (msg # 20):

That might give us a chance to try and figure this place out :) Enjoy

In reply to The Director (msg # 20):

Enjoy your break!

Well... I'll be working... :)

During May and the first half of June I will travel quite frequently. It is likely that I won't be able to post for two or three days per week.
Please don't be worried by this temporary slow down :)

In reply to The Director (msg # 24):

No worries. Enjoy the travelling
