Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

Hiya, I just started the last FoS advertisement for the game.
You might want to read this one especially: (Although I'd also recommend you to read the older ones for some more background and atmosphere.)
The Core, 758 BC
In Darkon, the wrath of the newborn king has deserted the eastern shore.
In Falkovnia, Mircea and Viggo wage in the war of princes for their forlorn father’s throne.
In Richemulot, six mighty servants of the darkness siege for the control of their castle against a mad and horrifying nosferatu, and night becomes the day.
From Barovia, the peasants flee the breezing cold winter storms that have deserted the swamps around the Devil Strahd’s castle.
Yet in Valachan, strange figures in the mists have been spotted; long caravans of refugees, men and monsters unseen for over twenty years, seeking shelter from the mists from where they came.
The Mordentish Cartographer Society, leading investigation office since the uneventful disappearance of the Weathermay children has send their best men to seek answers for the recent troubles on the southern Valachan borders. Lead by the famous Ivid the Bowman, a big division of most experienced Mordentish explorers has established a base near the town of Ungrad.
Will you, brave adventurer, be fearless and strong enough to aid them in the mysteries and horrors they are about to confront?

Exactly.
I can't name the exact hour, but I#ll start posting the introductions over here on Sunday. (Reason: I've got the threads locked by the moderators, to keep them clean from others; since I am not a mod, I can't unlock them - so I've to wait how/if I can contact them in time.)
One rule about posting: I AM ALWAYS the person who opens a thread - if I haven't posted in the unlocked threads named above, please don't do so. (Wanna keep it clean.)
I just finished the write-ups for your introductions...

Personally - I LIKE 1st level characters - they can grow more organically that way.Desdichado wrote:You'd start as a level 1 character, of course. And since the other candidates would be between lvl 1 and 3, the group should be THAT unbalanced.
AND - I LIKE parties that are "unbalanced" - you "know your place" - you defer to the 4th level cleric when you are the 1st-level fighter... it's kind of realistic in that nice way...
And for ONCE I won't have to be the guy with all the answers. lol! (way to go Desdichado.)
-----------------------
Des, (may I call you Des ), expect to get my character in the next day or two... assuming I can get through the reading I have to do, it should be ready sunday evening at latest. Feel free to make any suggestions, if there is any type of character you would like to see this invitation is open to all, BTW). I am TOTALLY open to that.
Thanks again!
