Would there be interest in a DnD 4e game?

[Staris]

Starel just so you know the area you in treats Drow in the "light racism" against Drow department compared to other areas you probably have been in. So you are expected to pay a full deposit on any inn rooms, people might use phrases like "you people" or "Drows are all criminals, not you Stavis, you're one of the good ones." etc.

Yes I intended for that in part why my character is 30 to suggest I've done quite a bit of travelling since some of my begnings so wasn't expecting much beyond minor against my race, if that, in no small part because of the group size of the party as well as some time to gain some minimal recognition as being seen as one of the "good" ones.

I wasn't expecting my playing to pay for my room if that was where you where going at best a small drink.

Also I am having to retrain myself a bit from my past plays tended with my early questions giving the gm too many ideas to include in the game. I kid you not debated for quite a while before posting my questions because of some of the past gms I've played it.

But that's half the fun, is giving the GM a ton of hooks and seeing how much and how creative the GM can be with the opportunities you give him. Once I finish my background Joun is going to have a bunch of options for how to make me, and by proxy, the rest of you, fairly miserable. It'll be great!!

Oh I know one of my more memorable games the gm got mad at me because he liked to introduce a big bad guy early in the game who was seen as a law abiding citizen for the rest of the world, so I figured it out confronted the town baron and killed him to derail his plans at becoming king. Spent the rest of the game as a killer in the eyes of the law and then former party rooting out the rest of the evil while redirecting the party back to the bad guys and not my neck and as fun as that was no plans to repeat that.

Oh no the pay a deposit was more like Stavis(drow) and Trinal Katorm (half elf) both walk into the Mighty Elk Tavern and Inn in Belholt (where our adventure starts). Here is the difference in how you both as unknowns are treated.

Bran: "Welcome to the Mighty Elk traveller. How can I help you?"
Trinal: "I'm needing room and meals for 3 nights."
Bran: "Well it is a silver a meal, a silver and ale, and 5 silver for a bed a night, unless you want the Nobleman's suite which is a full gold per night, but has a larger bed and a better view."
Trinal: "A standard room is fine."
Bran: "Let me show you your room, we settle up debts each morning. Can I carry your bag?"

While you get:

Bran: "Welcome to the Mighty Elk traveller. What do you want?"
Stavis: "I'm needing room and meals for 3 nights."
Bran: "Well it is a silver a meal, a silver and ale, and 5 silver for a bed a night. Lodging is paid up front."
Trinal: "Ok. Here is 1g 5silver which should cover the stay."
Bran: "Your room is 3rd door on the left up the stairs. It has a moon painted on the door."

Notice how Bran is less polite. Less trusting you will pay or are able to pay. He didn't offer you the rich man's suite. Didn't offer to help you with your things.


Now in other towns you'd just get this:

Bran 2: "Get out."
Stavis: "I just need a room for the night, I can pay 1g."
Bran2: "We don't serve your kind here, so get out or I'll call for the sheriff."
Large gentleman at bar: "Bran2, you want me smash him up?"

Pretty obvious here.

understood.

Oh yeah there is a spectrum of racism. Belholt is on the lesser end of things. There will be towns who would offer or demand you stay in stables. Others which wouldn't trust you with a stable that had livestock in it (he could cause the milk to be cursed!) and the GTFO types as well as the "I'd like a" (TWANG) "Inkeep! You shot me in the arm!" "That was a warning shot, and I don't miss when I aim to hit!"

[Jimer Lins]

For Trinal, although he's still young he likes to THINK he's pretty egalitarian. So while he hasn't met a drow before, and has only spoken to a few dwarves here and there, he tries to be friendly. You might catch him watching you over his ale, not because he's rude but because he's just curious.

I think I can work with that I foresee me sleeping in quite a few alleys. Sorry tracing in alleys.

As long as he doesn't see a half cousin as blood enemy I think we'll do just fine.

I think he's going to be somewhat "country" in his approach. He's a farm boy who grew up with parents of different races that didn't really spend much time making him like or hate anyone, because there was work to be done. He's not immune to the prejudices of the general populace, but he's also more curious about people than anything else.

[Furiel]

Hrm...maybe I'm doing a bit much for my background...I just hit page 5 of my word document and I just left home...

And I'm about to leave work so background will not be finished until tonight after Gabby is in bed.

Then I apologies now if my trickster imposes gets the better of me and a future thank you for standing up for me when others prejudices get the better of them since I feel Stavis wouldn't ever say those in person just expect you to under stand it.

What you can't write a paper while watching your daughter? jk might be a bit much for a start unless we all know each others life stories. Might want to leave holes in the background that can be filled in at camp fires and such as we adventure or even give Joun some back-story you aren't sharing with the rest of us that can happen at inopportune times. Jilted lover that's tracked you down anyone? Actually may not need to give him that one, probably happening anyway.

[Whiteness]

Staris, let's just say it's a good thing I'm not a wizard this game and don't have my normal access to fiery things



My half human will not be as kind as jimer's half-elf.

When did I say I was posting it. It's going to Joun only. And I don't recall us saying we all already knew each other or did I miss that? I can handle either way I just don't recall that decision being made already.

Oh my apologies no one had said it would have to be released just assumed based on everyone else releasing things publicly.

[Jimer Lins]

I had the impression we did not, and was rolling with the concept that I wandered into town and the tavern/inn to see one or two others, but haven't said anything.

Syric has been wandering mostly in an Westward direction, following a windy river wherever it wound. He had been searching for anyone that might recognize the markings on his father's sword.

It wasn't until his 4th human settlement, the first real city and at least 6 summers back, where he searched out a weaponsmith to see if he recognized the blade. While he didn't have the answer Syric was hoping for, the smith was able to tell him that what he thought were decorative embellishments were likely a family crest. He told of a warrior clan rumored to still roam in the far, far West, one who was said to carry their ancestors in to battle, weapons with family names passed along down through many generations. Since then, Syric had spent a number of fruitless years traveling west in his quest for this warrior clan he hoped could give him some clue to his heritage. He had learned a fair deal of human nature, though he still felt like an outsider.

He found himself alternating between staring idly at the markings and sipping on the nutbrown drink in front of him, he is taken aback when he sees a dark creature step forward to the wall where he had previously heard hammering. Once the drow stepped away, Syric quickly investigated the note on the wall. Unsure of the drow's intent, caution gives way to curiosity has he quickly decides to accept the job.

[Whiteness]

I wasn't sure if we were going to start at the note going up or the next night, I just wanted to get my distrust of drows to be known. I don't think I really did that though, hence this post!

[Blackferne]

I was gonna start monday but since it will start in RP mode we can start now i suppose. New thread coming in tbe next 30-60 minutes.

Sweet, I just mixed a gin and tonic in an imperial pint glass, so I'm ready.

[Jimer Lins]

I should note that although I went with a traditional half-elf sorcerer build, I very seriously considered a dwarf sorcerer, just because I think it would have been fun.

[Whiteness]

Dood and Reese need to wake up and post

[Staris]

well may have to wait till Monday for them since Joun did say he would start then

[Blackferne]

I let them both know, but whatever.

What is the general feeling toward dragonborn? Am I wrong thinking they're more accepted than Tieflings?

[Jimer Lins]

I get the impression they're at least considered neutrally, if not slightly positively, by most communities. They're described as being generally good with a strong sense of ethics and honor by the PHB. Tieflings would be facing the stigma of their appearance and the deals their ancestors made, as well as their own connection to the demonic.

[Blackferne]

I'm treating dragonborn for where you as somewhat exotic. Think samurai walking in 1700 rural england. So combine curiosity, misconceptions with best intentions, and general neutral on whether they are good or bad. Other areas will be more familiar with them. Regardless still generall better received than tieflings.

Fixed that for ya

TO be fair, a smallpox outbreak is preferred over Tony Plush where daughters are concerned.
