Talk about the game, or about whatever else you want.  We're all just here to have a good time.

First order of business, as folks start filing in and working on character stats - we agreed in the other thread that the PCs are a band of mercenaries, but you may choose any career you want (in terms of char gen) as long as you can justify why you would be in this group.  Use any of the sample careers from the rulebook, or if you prefer we can work out a custom one.

Similarly, combat styles from your career (which are more "professional" than the ones connected to culture) are probably going to be custom for most of you.  The Warhammer world gives too many options for me to want to stat out a bunch of them ahead of time.  Or if this group has been together for a while then maybe you've even developed a combat style that you all share, and we can create that together in this thread.

Lastly, if anyone wants to play as a human from outside of the Empire then we'll work out your culture options, since it's obviously going to be at least a little different from the current offerings.

Hi.

I'm thinking of playing either a human blacksmith/ex-town guard or a dwarf troll slayer (or equivalent).

I was wondering what others might be thinking of playing.

I am an elf.  Still working on profession but, most likely, will be some level of magic.

We seem to be a quiet group. I am still reading through the system and some warhammer background. I will be an elf with a good bit of mystical arts! Still working on the actual numbers and I am working on my background.

On a personal note, I am in my early 50s and have been gaming since I was 12…so for a very, very long time. I started rp’ing with the d&d boxed sets and have played pretty much everything since.

Looking forward to telling some good stories with you guys!

Yeah, we do seem to have lost some of the energy from the interest check thread.  There were a couple people there who haven't popped in here yet so I'll message them and see if they're still interested.  If not then I'll open up the game to whoever else wants in.  For now we have four players, which is fine, but with RPOL being what it is I would always rather have more at the start and then see where things go.

I'm 40, and also started with a D&D boxed set, though I suspect it was a different one than yours Maberos - I had the black box starter set with the red dragon on the cover.  Didn't find my way to WFRP until a couple years into 2e.

With regard to Mythras, I've made one previous attempt at running a campaign but I'm hardly an expert on the system.  We can all do a lot of learning together :)

I'm here, but had a busier than expected last couple of days.

I'm 50, from the UK. I started out on Line Wolf 'choose your own adventure ' books before picking up a copy of 1st edition WFRP in the late '80s. I don't get D&D until 3rd edition and didn't play much of it really. I had most of the 2nd edition WFRP books, but haven't played in years.

Another question, since we're coming at this having played various editions of WFRP - I understand that some folks have strong opinions about the Storm of Chaos and the way that it changed the official setting.  To the extent that I'm relying on my WFRP books for setting info, it's still extremely recent history.  Do you all care?  Do you have a preference about if I keep it in, remove all references to it, move it a couple decades into the past, anything?  I don't know how much this is going to matter, but since it even affects things like "this town currently has a lot of refugees from the invasion, or maybe it doesn't" I'd like to take your preferences into account.
