I see you've been hanging out with FlynnVivid wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 3:52 pm Yay! I've always liked the storyline in Sin City where Jessica Alba's character is rescued by Bruce Willis' character. Though Abigail is more the slightly shy (more just awkward) bookworm that Nancy came across as in her letters.
How often do you think Jakkar would visit Abigail?
I swear that my next character will be named Jakkar ;~)
As for how often Jarrak would visit: no less than once a year. It's hard to really say much without a better idea of the setting. Are there smaller towns in the area, how long does it take to travel around, how often are their caravans or troupes moving about, how dangerous are the roads?
Also depends on how badly Abigail seems to need the visits. If she's literally alone in the world and the visits were that important to her he'd probably visit more often, though he wouldn't be settling down in the city.

Oh, I'm sorry. I have mild dyslexia. I'll be better about it.
Uncle Jarrak's visits are highly looked-forward-to. I imagine he's the only one she really actively hugs when ever she sees. (trying to play a high-charisma introvert is interesting. I'm trying to find models in shows or movies.)

Re: Another D&D Game - Recruiting done & PCs chosen
You and everybody else!
Don't mistake me, I'm in no way offended, I was just using the opportunity to poke fun at Flynn for doing the same thing. I've used the character as an NPC in another game and all of the players called him Jakkar too. And I do mean everybody!
Besides, I'm not much better on the dyslexia thing.

Pay him no mind, Ark's just curmudgeon-y, and Canadian. There's that, too.
He and I have been tooling around these boards so long we're like those two old grandpas on rockers on the porch yelling at kids to get off their lawn who playfully raz each other too.

Re: Another D&D Game - Recruiting done & PCs chosen
So in the last few days I've managed to get a bit of work done (beside my actual job that is) and finally got the map finished as well as a listing of known places. I've also added this to the first page of this thread (which will be getting renamed soonish).
Map of Hyboria:
Athas River
Tirisfal (lands of the elves, kingdom of Silvermoon)
Eversong Pass (route most commonly used to journey between Tirisfal and Caerleon)
Tamoe Mountains (home of dwarves)
West Mount Nomri (connected to its Eastern counterpart by several portals scattered throughout tunnels that are honeycombed within it)
East Mount Nomri (connected to its Western counterpart by several portals scattered throughout tunnels that are honeycombed within it)
Yun-Silth Jungles (an unknown area as every exploration group sent there have never returned)
Bulgor Wastelands (a massive desert, home to several nomadic tribes of various races)
Zakarum Wilderness (home of the Wolfen Domain)
Arreat Ridge
Kalimdor Mountains (mountains and surrounding land that is home to nomadic barbarians)
Opal Island
Kurast Bay
Caerleon (kingdom of humans)

[It's cool to see the relationships that have built up.]
Neat map, Tatooedman!
Where are the PCs starting?
You seem to have two Mount Nomri's. One could be East Nomri and the other West Nomri. They could be connected by a portal that links the two to help intercontinental trade.

neat
mix of WOW and Palladium fantasy
quick aside barring her being on a contract I Kiaras home base would be the major capital city since that's where the most work would be

Re: Another D&D Game - Recruiting done & PCs chosen
Yes it is!
That said, the members do not need to know everyone else. Just a suggestion, as it would probably be a bit easier, for example, to say that Jarrak knows Lan, Jack, & Tiberium while Kiara knows Abigail & Lan, while Tiberium knows Anne & Jarrak.
Thank you!Vivid wrote:Neat map, Tatooedman!

The group will be staring out in the town of Phandelver, in Caerleon.

Well, I've been around the gaming table long enough now to know when to take a good suggestion and run with it. So congrats Vivid, you just made the first PC update to the setting (I'm sure there will be more).
And a tiny bit of Diablo II & Conan.
Glad someone noticed some of the bits of influence I had for the setting.

Re: Adventures In Hyboria (Another D&D game): OCC thread
Thanks for taking the suggestion.
I do still like the link between Abigail and Jarrak - That he was a traveler with Abigail's troupe and saved her from the bandit attack that killed her parents. He brought her to the Sacred Library (or stumbled across Library Clerics while injured from the fighting). A small bout of hero worship would really add to an otherwise stuffy (1-dimensional) personality.

Where in Caerleon is Phandelver? Given the amount of elven influence in the party it may be more on the Eastern side near where Eversong Pass transitions from the Elven lands.

Phandelver is closer to the Eversong Pass. I will update the map.

Could even be the turning point from old injured solider turned entertainer over to paladin.
Made his final stand to protect his fellow travelers and, unexpectedly, didn't die ;~)

And Gretchen was the best character on Recess, Flynn ;~)
