Do you need a character sheet Ewan, or we can do that later before the game starts?

Is magical theory something that would have been covered at the University you mentioned? I think Alfonse could have studied there if so for his training. I see him as kind of a child of privilege who hasn't known a lot of hard times and may have gotten into the University as much based on the weight of his family's money than his true magical talent which, while present, is not exceptional.

The University of Ferrantio is backed by the local aristocracy of that region (well north of Povero, maps to come later) in part because it provides an economic boost to a region otherwise in decline.
And while the University is not a practical school of magic (not like Hogwart's or the Scholomance), certainly there are texts on magical matters in the large library, and some sages and professors teaching or working there who have magical abilities.

So, yes, I think it all fits quite nicely.

I'd like something in writing before play starts.

But you have time.

We are easing into this one.

Sounds fun...plus I miss communicating!

Still hanging in there. Let me know if there's anything else I should do or can help with.

[ewancummins]

You may:

Just wait


Write up additional stuff related to your character

Develop some short form setting material submissions. Feel free to write a little about where your character comes from, for example. You can make up a town, a small country, whatever. Just run it by me and I will suggest any modifications that make sense. Loads of detail is not necessary.
Guidelines are low to middle magic levels, most places are human dominated (by no means all), and the world echoes some elements of Old World Antiquity and Medieval periods. The early Renaissance stuff in Povero is the really advanced tech.

[ewancummins]

Also feel free to make up some sayings, minor cults, and whatever else you like.

Again, everything to be included will get DM review. I am likely to say yes to anything that seems fun and isn't mood breaking or just wildly different than what I want to do.

Alright sounds good. I did put a small brief description in my character sheet, however I hope to add more later. I guess I'll see about what I can think of.

[ewancummins]

Okay, does anyone have questions?

I will be ready to start pretty soon.

My Birthright game may be coming to its final chapters ( this installment, anyway).

[ewancummins]

Sketch map of city showing major roads, neighborhoods, salient features coming soon.

We may assume midday arrival.

Climate resembles the northern parts of Italy.

Late summer/going into autumn is mild, pleasant weather.

I have assumed that the PCs travelled together for a while on the road. Some of you already had close ties, of course. But you will all begin play knowing one another's names and faces at the very least.
I suggest building some ties before play kicks off.
You had time to discuss plans, goals, interests, etc before you got here.

I am not going to give you all a mission. I only ask the group does have some sort of common purpose in mind.
That could be something like:

We were caravan guards. Now we are finishing out job. We want to enter the city together to see what opportunities we can find.

Or it could be you each have your own schemes, but have agreed to work together for the nonce. Maybe some experience on the road convinced you that was wise.

You guys figure it out

Yeap! I have a couple of questions.
First, how much is my character's starting money?
Second, there are many sets of NWP. Which ones do we use?
Third, how about weapon proficiencies? Can we have specialty etc?

Money: it is rolled by class. Rogues (Theives and bards) roll 2d6 x10 gold pieces.
I do not charge for one set of clothing.

NWP: If you are playing a Thief, you can choose from General and Rogue lists at normal slot costs. Double slots for NWPs from other groups, like Wizard.

WP: restricted by class. Except warriors can learn anything.
ONLY fighters can specialize.
