Just bumping in hopes everyone sees this and doesn't think the game has gone quiet.

Thank you Kamina for bumping. I was mot on this weekend, because as usual my spawn had the computer tied up while she was over. I am off work tomorrow (Monday) and would like to get this started, hopefully I can get the last couple sheets in.

I believe I am part of the reason for the delay - I was trying to download a book to make my character when I appear to have gotten something really nasty (Like beholder level nasty) on my machine. Yeah, it was working at all. So, I've been reduced to a phone. Which isn't much good for writing up whole characters. But I am pleased to note that I now have a functioning machine and am in the process of creating Zick the Amazing Alchemist.

Be prepared to be amazed and enlightened.

And also, hopefully, get to begin to do things.

I know your circumstances Nomad, your sheet is not the only one we're waiting on though. Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer, no worries though as long as everyone is willing to continue to wait patiently.

It was canada day this weekend and it was rather busy. I was working on the background but I haven't gotten anything typed out yet. I'll get it in by tomorrow!

We've gotten nearly complete sheets for everyone playing, so I'm going to start the game up. Get excited, I know I am!!

Nomad and Impulse, just get me completed sheets when you can.

So, do we have a list of who is playing who? It would make it easier to know what to do, at least if the others would like to team up to take on a monster or a group of bandits as I think I would. Should we post short character descriptions here? Or, Shield, would you prefer if we just sort of ran it all through the game?

We still need to be added to the game thread before we can all post! :o

It was kinda late when I set up the game, so I forgot to add everyone, post away!

@Nomad: There is a list of character names and who is playing them, I would prefer if the other players reveal what their character would share openly...

I will say that in addition to your Gnome we have a female Elf Witch of sorts, a Plumekith Aasimar gunslinger, and Impulse's character looks human, I'll leave it at that unless he wants to reveal more now, or let it out in game...

Ok, I'll admit my ignorance and ask instead of looking it up.

What the heck is a Plumekith Aasimar gunslinger?

Only the gunslinger part of that means anything to me.


As for the group, I'll get a post up tomorrow (Friday) I suspect. Zick will probably be looking to take on the bandits.

A Plumekith is an Aasimar (human with distant celestial relative) descended from a Garuda... The reason I even identified him as Plumekith is because the description literally says they are instantly recognizable...

Garuda-Blooded (Plumekith)

Their shimmering avian features make plumekith instantly recognizable. Though they can act rashly, plumekith never shirk their duty after making a commitment.

Garudas are noble but impetuous birdlike celestials, and most garuda-blooded aasimars grow graceful feathers during puberty. The majority of these aasimars have shimmering wings; the wings can be of virtually any shade, ranging from metallic colors to muted hues to pure white, or rarely, glossy black. Plumekith are sometimes born with taloned fingers or toes, and occasionally amber eyes like those of an eagle.

Like their celestial ancestors, plumekith tend to take action at the spur of the moment when their abilities seem needed. Plumekith rush into the heat of battle to face off against evildoers, only stopping to ask questions afterward. Plumekith often have an extreme hatred for nagas and other snakelike creatures, a racial disdain no doubt stemming back to their garuda forebears.

Interesting companion. I like a bird-angel-avenging-snake hating companion.

A question - the only place I have encountered the name "Garuda" is in the works of China Mieville. His are the only steampunk-like books I have read. Are these avians specific to his works, or something found in most steampunk literature - a norm for the category. It doesn't matter for the game, I'm just curious.

And the first post is up.

Excellent post Kamina. I think Zick and Mattia are going to get along well.

To quickly answer your question about Garuda, they're one of the celestial races in Pathfinder, and a Plumekith is an Aasimar variant descended from them.

As for Zick and Mattia, I'm sure they will
