Just a nitpick: isn't a pitchfork more like a trident?

Just a nitpick: isn't a pitchfork more like a trident?

I guess, but not a huge difference between a spear & trident in LL. Im just trying to keep it as simple as possible.

Looking at the rules, a spear is much better. A spear is cheaper, one handed, & can be thrown. But is heavier than a trident....

[Blood axe]

Villagers have gone missing again. This must end. A mix of clues, superstitions and omens point to the brooding citadel of the Emerald Enchanter. This silent monolith has sat undisturbed atop a windy ridge for decades. Legends say that a gree-skinned sorcerer dwells there, where he conducts strange experiments and builds enigmatic machinery. His green constructs patrol the grounds of his citadel. He is seen only rarely when he ventures out on nefarious errands that end in horrid screams and strange lights coming from his citadel. Now the time has come to explore his inner sanctum, and put an end to his evil deeds!

You are not heroes. No mighty warriors will slay the beasts. No wizard versed in arcane lore to cast might spells. There are no clever rogues to slip by guards and foil traps. Your band has no holy men that can call upon the favor of the Gods. You are simple folk, villagers that have had enough and have gathered together to face evil.
The Emerald Enchanter must be stopped!

[Spanningtree]

Man, I'm already in so many games. Are you going to start this after the horror on the hill?

If you want a demi-human, you can choose to switch one character out of your choice.

These are fine as is.

Sounds great. Will there be a new PbP forum opened?

Sounds great. Will there be a new PbP forum opened?

I put in the request yesterday.
Characters dont really need a pic or detailed background. A sentence or two is plenty.

[kipper]

While we're waiting for the new forum, here's what I've come up with so far. I hope it's not too light-hearted !

Merry is rotund, even for a halfling, and usually guided by his stomach. He has set off on adventure in search of new and untried culinary ingredients, upon his return he intends to take the gourmet world by storm and earn the coveted title of Iron Chef.

Sam Beckett (Farmer)

Sam has worked as a farmer his entire life. One day while milking the cows he was kicked in the head and suffered amnesia. He wandered off in a daze, and upon finally coming to his senses after an unknown interval (weeks? months? years?) he found himself in an unfamiliar country, still working as a farmer. His goal is to make his way back home, but he has no idea where that may be. In the meantime, his good nature insists he do good deeds along his journey.
