002-OOC Character & Fellowship Creation
Hello, and welcome!
I am quite familiar with the 1st Cubicle 7 edition, but only just got the Free League one, so will be learning the new ruleset as we go (I have already read through the book, and I believe it shall work - especially in PbP).
In GENERAL: I plan to start with the general setting of the Second Edition--
a game set in Eriador
starting in the year 2965
--but am open to move things around, or away from that depending on you players.
I wish to depart from the rules that "assume that the Company has been together for some time already when the game begins" and the characters meet in game, get drawn together in an adventure, and (hopefully!) bond and create a Company.
(no probem at all, of course, if people wish to create PCs that are already linked - friends, family...).
My goal is to run a campaign.
To deal with PbP issues & attrition I aim to try and manage this like an episodic series (closed standalone adventures, with their own beginning to end, that should last several weeks) with an overarching plot (thus, playing several or all the adventures also builds the campaign aspect).
So, let us start and see who wishes to play what (does everyone have the 2nd Ed' book, or do some need information on possible characters?).
And please share what expectations and goals you have.
Important note: I post 1/day and really like that daily posting rate (or at least the weekly posting but maybe slower on week-ends) and keeping the game moving forward.
Tell me what your posting rate is, and if it does not work with that 1/day.
We could then maybe start two adventures in parallel, for both posting rates?
