<font color=skyblue>Here is a fresh thread to do all discussion about the game that is called Lord of the Forums / One-Eyed Wolf, Shadow of Love

This is what I have so far with regards to who has contacted me on their desire to play.

I do not want to give everything away. Some people have specifics about their characters that should <u>remain secret</u> until the game is played.

Right? !! :D

So...with that said, please PM me your thoughts, and just be general here until the game gets underway.</font>

<font color=lightgreen>

Larry: DM, Larry Silverfall, and The Shadow Mage.

Mistral: Currently as Rhianneth Freelight.

Tao: Returning as herself.

Arcades: Returning as himself.

Skye: Newcomer, playing as ________________

dplax: Newcomer, playing as _______________

Legolas: Returning, but playing a new char.___________

Ross: Newcomer, playing as _______________________

RevRuby: Return pending, based on timeline of story.

Morgeruat: Returning, but unkown specifics on character(s).</font>

i plan on playing, ruby's return is pending. if not enough time is given then i will just have a new character.

<font color=lightgreen>If you have not already done so, go ahead and PM me your choice of characters that you might like to play in this adventure.

I would like it more if you would send me at least two optional characters that you will be choosing from.

The people that will be returning with characters that I am already familiar with need not apply.

Remember one important thing about character generation. I have to know what the heck it is and what it does, so I can know how to kill it! Hehe...DM's perogative.

Also...if you have a short bio...let me see it. I might surprise you by giving your subplot to you in the game!!!! Note: I may not be able to do that for everyone. It depends on the depth of each entry. If they are all easily manageable by this little overworked, overschooled lazy bum of a DM...then so be it.</font>

:D well, as you said, I need not go into detail with my character.. we have enough history for 20 characters.. LOL..

that being said.. keep myself and Arcades informed with when to start...

I need a general power level before I make my char, I don't want to be vastly over, or under powered, in general you can check the blade kit for bard from BG2 for character/class specifics, I'll look over the differences between the PnP version, and the BG2 version and appraise you on any changes to be made.

btw are we assuming an 85 point build?

<font color=skyblue>Legal Disclaimer

Let me go into safe-mode and say that I am not claiming any power over the One-Eyed Wolf campaign.

I am soley responsible for how Lord of the Forums games run...and Cyril's and Tao's contribution to the LoF by donating their intermingling of the story from the Tavern by the Creek was their own plan and was successful on it's own terms.

So is OEW.

The OEW is it's own game and is in the hands of Killing Spree to manage and conduct.

Having said that, my intentions of this game are as follows.
Since Larry Silverfall has returned to the big screen, and he seeks to solve the mysteries in his heart over the death of his beloved Mistral Freelight; her sister Rhianneth is at his side.

Spree saved these two and they are taking up refuge at the OEW tavern. Therefore, you see my link of LoF to OEW.

That is its limit, by the way. I will not be exploring any other aspect of the OEW storyline in this game.

The game that I am about to start will bring elements of the One-Eyed Wolf and the Lord of the Forums together to tell a new story.

Elements of the Tavern by the Creek were voluntarily added to Lord of the Forums over two years ago, so please recognize this as well.

To spell out the idea, these are the references that I will be making in regards to each game.

LoF = Anything dealing with the Mad Modding Mage of Ironworks and his enemies. This includes anyone that was travelling with Brendon at the time.

OEW = Larry Silverfall, his dead wife, and the OEW tavern. (Homebase)

TbyC = Limited to references specific to LoF only.

================================================== =============================

To make my point more clear, This is not a game that involves any aspect of OEW except for the marriage between Larry and Mistral, and references to the tavern being used as a safe-haven to rest and eat and plan.

This game is linked to the LoF only in that the Mage is the main bad guy here, and Larry Silverfall used to be him. Now the two entities are seperated, which is really cool to RP.

To better serve everyone's interest and to not confuse this game with another...I will drop the OEW tag on the title and only keep the LoF tag, as that is the only tag that I have control of. I do not own the right to start a game that is called OEW. But I do control my character in that game, so that is why I am pulling him from the OEW to use in the LoF, and the points of Mistral that relate to Larry will come with me. This is not a purging or extraction...it is a borrowing, as Larry and Mistral belong with OEW. With Mistral's permission, I shall pull her with me.

Is this better understood now?</font>

Okay...I got the right button now. lol....
<font color=skyblue>

I don't want to get that technical. This will be fun, so have fun. Create what you want to RP, and give me a reason why that guy exists and what he is doing in my game, and that is good enough. I do not want this to be hard.</font>

[ 03-25-2004, 12:52 PM: Message edited by: Larry_OHF ]

<font color=lightgreen>I am thinking of opening the thread to RP Friday night.

After that time, nobody else would be allowed into the game "full-time", except for certain limited roles. </font>

<font color=skyblue>I am working on the setup of the game, based on what characters are playing and all that. Everything is coming along, so it won't be much longer now.</font>

<font color=skyblue>There is a lot of interest in this game! I feel soooo pressured. I get like 5 PM's every 2 hours!</font>

LOL... I'll be ready

YOU can do it Larry, we have faith in you ;)

well I plan on playing as an elf, maybe a kind off Legolas figure, with bow and arrows and Scimitars or longswords, but we shall see how it goes. i could pm you with a biography a bit later on tonight Larry. If that sounds OK.

<font color=skyblue>Alright...as promised, this game is to get under way.

I am officially opening it for gaming.

As I sit here, in the darkness since my 10 week old is asleep a few feet from me, I try to strategize a plan for this to start off in a good manner and not so chaotic that I lose somebody in the cracks.

Let's see....gimme a minute and I will draw up a plan on characters.

<font color=skyblue>

Tao: You already know your scene and your conditions. You are ready to post at will. Please provide the newbies with something about you, without revealing too much.

Skye: When you are back and ready to RP, contact me by PM. I will give you your predicament.

dplax: You already know what to do. Post at will.

Ross: You need to find a starting place and a reason to be travelling. Post this reason and where you will be heading, and that will start you off.

RevRuby: You already know the conditions of your character(s). Pick a starting point and a reason for travel, then post them. When you are on the road, I will begin with you.

Legolas: You already know the situation with your character and his relationship to things happening in the world. Get started on the road, but be close by. Closer than the other players that are travelling, perhaps. I know you are already aware of how you plan to start posting. I will have posts up for you when/if I see a need.

Morgeruat: Your ideas are good. I do not have an idea yet on certain aspects of your character that you asked me about, so please watch the posts of the others to get a feel of how your's needs to be adjusted. That is as fair of an idea as I can make it. Think external balance.

Elif G: I am starting you off at the Tavern of the OEW where Larry and Rhianneth are staying.

Mistral: You know where you are, and what has happened to you. You may begin at any moment. Consider your first post a waking up from sleep in the upstairs bedroom.

</font>

<font color=lightgreen>I think that is everyone. Everybody already should have a good idea about the Mage, but your characters may or may not know. I leave that up to you to let them find out about him. It will also be in your hands on whether or not you know of Larry Silverfall, his link to the Mage, and if you trust him or not. Again...it is in your hands to decide that. Nobody should know much os Rhianneth, however. She is not one that gets mentioned easily. Get to know her as you would a newcomer.

How does this sound to everyone? Is there any problem? If not, then GAME ON!</font>

Notes:

1. Some of you already know, but for those that are new, please post all discussion about the game here. If you post anything in the actual game thread, please make it a character post, and you can add an OOC in there, but do not just post OOCs that have no character dialog. Those belong here. This is where we talk outside of character. OOCs are fine inside the game as long as they are accompanied by real work.

2. Please follow this guide: Larry Silverfall 13/13
That 13/13 is his life points, of course.

3. Please submit to me if you have not already, enough stats about your character that I can recreate him/her on my NWN module for this game. I will be using that game as my DM's battle-planner and guide for you all.

4. This will be a game mixed with storyline and combat, so you have to be able to express yourselves artistically, as well as be ready for lots of action to engage in. I may sometimes excuse your character to non-combat areas if you beg.
5. Please do not be afraid to die in this game. If death occurs, then it occurs. I will work with the dead individual to bring him back to life at a cost. Does this sound fair?

6. Level-ups and rewards will be given to people who excel in conditions.

7. I am not a professional game master. I love to write, I enjoy combat games, and I have alot of fun posting here with you guys. Please do not expect me to give up homework, playing with my children, or cooking dinner for my wife to be here to post day and night. I will be as dedicated to this game as life allows me to. I love it and want to do good here for myself and for all of you.

8. If somebody becomes innactive for a period of time, and we hear nothing from that person explaining when we can see him/her again...I have ways of dealing with your character...and they will not be pleasant. Your comrades may have to save your arse in a quest if you really piss me off!

9. PM me at any time if you have suggestions or would like a special request. I am not above listening to my players.

10. Nothing else to say...I just wanted 10 things. :D

Just to make sure Larry that the newbies know..

I do not post stats....

Larry knows my skills and levels...

I play on a different level... not to say I'm better..

Just that I have a different style of playing.. :D

Ok, Tao got in touch with me. The Elder Dragon is back =) *L*

As with Tao, my style of RP isnt based on a system of Points. My dragon character has three to four major magics, and the potent scales for shielding his body.

Just so you guys know, I'll be gone for a few days, My internet is getting cut of tomarrow, and getting switched for DSL on Wednesday. Tao can post for me in my leave.

Posted, Larry [img]smile.gif[/img]

If time permits, I am looking towards creating my own assortment of characters to add some colour to my sub-plot. I hope I have your in-principle approval to exercise my creativity ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

If everyone would be so kind as to PM me your:

1. class,
2. what level of experience is had in that class,
3. and how many hit points you have...

that would make me happy. If you are a magic user, I would like to know:

4. what spells I might expect from you on any given day.

Tao is excluded from requisit # 4.

Larry, if you're ok for a quick chat now, log on to MSN. I am on :D

By the way...only characters that plan on getting into trouble in battles need to send me stats of HP, level, and class. If your character is "conversational only", I do not need any bio on them. You can write away.

Take Note.

If you played in the LoF, keep the level you were at when Cyril leveled you up near the end of the game. If you have not already done so, send me a reminder of what that level is.

If you are new to this game, you can play up to level 10 of any single class. If you are dual-classed, that can be worked out with me in PM. Just make it real.

Larry, I have PM'd you my characters history in case you have forgotten? LOL :D

Also, if you wish I or you can pick certain parts out of that and post in here for those who don't know my character?

Thanks Tao, I got your stuff, but the strange thing is, this forum did not tell me that I had any messages this time. I have been getting notification from everyone else. What kinda sorcery are you pulling there, missy?


Legolas...I will be adding bronze armor and a hammer to the avatar I have built of you. Is there anything else I can add to it?

Everyone else...if you would...send me some stuff about what color are your clothing and what stuff you are carrying, like weapons. I have built avatars of everyone, including the Shadow Mage...using the hak I got for making a monster that looks like a ringwraith!

mwahahaha.. :D
Can't wait to see the avatars, Larry!!

Nothing else for the moment, no. But then, my short series of introductionary posts hasn't been completed yet...
Nah, semi-shining armor and his ornate warhammer are the main items. He actually does look a little bit like this guy:
http://www.angelfire.com/realm/spijl/NWN/Marcos.txt

Except his hair's darker and shorter, his armor more coppery/orange and his eyes many shades closer to blue.

Like this:
http://www.angelfire.com/realm/spijl/NWN/Marcos2.txt

Which is also why I don't draw my own portraits [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hey, Legolas, so glad that we are still gaming together [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Erm, can someone tell me how these avatars will be used? Are they specifically only for this thread?

The avatars are on my NWN game, and when I have things happen to you guys...I use your avatar as a pin cushion along side the appropriate monster and allow it to eat on you...so I can calculate the effects had upon your characters...

also for map placement so that I can keep track of all you rodents.

Eew... well, I think the avatars are probably needless in my case [img]tongue.gif[/img] You know my roleplaying style well enough [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

okay, until I hear from the tiger, or Arcades...
I have set one plan in motion...

I will continue towards the One-Eyed-Wolf unless I am met on the road...

Thanks. I don't think we have to wait much longer. She will be coming along soon.

Man I loose track on the weekends, that will be my main down time when it comes to posting. My weekends are made empty for my childrens sake, they are my world and all else can just wait :D

Reckon I need to make a post, hehe

don't worry, that's how Ruby and I are most of the time.

<font face='monotype corsiva'><font color="CCCCFF" size=+1>I would like to make a small statement concerning my thread...

The Tavern by the Creek is not destroyed.. the Tavern suffered heavy damage, and is being rebuilt.. the valley and lands are being destroyed, yes because of the Forsaken..

I do not mind references to my threads, but please take the time to read them and make correct references...

thank you!! :D </font></font>

As far as my character knows the tavern is destroyed, the fact that it is currently being rebuilt perhaps just hasn't reached his ears.
