Sorry, Tichinde. We have four players already; you'll just have to spectate this time, but you can be first in the waiting list. I've heard it's easy to die in this game. ¬_¬


Here's some equipment you'll need:

1. A profile sheet:

Image

2. A dice roller: https://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm

This game mostly uses D12, but during character creation you'll need some others as well.


Use Paint to draw a picture of yourself in the oval space and a coat of arms for yourself on the shield. It doesn't have to be fine art -- something simple will suffice, but please feel free to be as simple or elaborate, or as silly or serious, as you like.

Also, roll up your stats using this table:

Image

Fill in your name, your race and your stats (from the table above) onto your character sheet (into both the Start and Current sections).

Once you've done this, let me know your stats and I will tell you how to fill in the rest of the sheet.
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

Paint. Oh dear :lol:

I shall try my best, but expectations should be set suitable low.

Well, you can use whatever you like -- I just suggested something you're likely to have pre-installed on your PC.

Low expectations are all part of the fun. ;)

Oh no, I'll be as good with Paint as with any other program... it's just that my artistic ability is pretty laughable.

I'll give it a stab, but expect my efforts will resemble Private Baldrick's.

I've... I've drawn my elf. I'm not sure if it's quite what I intended...this is what elves look like right?

He certainly looks... uh... flamboyant :lol:

It will be 1000% better than anything I'm able to produce.

That limp wrist will surely impact on the strength of the draw on the bow....
:D

:lol:

That's one awesome elf. Now get those stats rolled up and added to your sheet!

Also, you need a name, a coat of arms on your shield, and you need to write "Elf" in the race section. ¬_¬

Okay, here we go. I rolled very low bravery and toughness. but very high weapon skill/speed. So the portrait sort of fits:

I was actually intending to draw a buckler in his left hand initially, but once I drew the hand I thought best to leave it.

You've set the bar high, Maturin!

Based on your stats, you may fill your Hand to Hand Combat and Ranged Combat in like this:

Hand to Hand: 2; 2; 2; 2; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9

Ranged: 5; 6; 7; 8; 9

Since you're ahead of the game, you may now move on to purchasing equipment.

Firstly, roll D4+4 x 10 to get your total starting Gold.
