We pretty much all have Essentials and/or the actual books. So I think everyone has the rules. There is one of our group I am not sure about, so maybe it would work for them.Buttmonkey wrote:I'm not playing, but folks who don't have the rules may want to track down Perilous Journeys.

The pantheons available would be Tenoric (a mix of Teutonic and Nordic), Slavic, and Olympian (Greco-Roman). "City-based" Avatars would not be a likely, though it is possible if you don't mind being outside of your usual habitat. Magic "levels" are moderate to high. Noble Avatars are allowed, but will start out impoverished; without title or right to any lands.
I will be posting more soon.

Description:
Egor has always been a woodsman. He is not unfriendly to townspeople, and indeed, has been known to help them. For his own part, he generally limits his contact to short trips to sell or trade hides, furs, meat, fish, and useful herbs and fruits. Every year he travels to a rendez-vous where other foresters trade, have contests, and share news and survival skills. He lives in a simple shelter, well-made, but temporary. He leaves these behind as he moves on, and these have saved the lives of travelers whose carts break down in the woods. He enjoys the company of others, especially if they share food, stories, and drink, but doesn't understand the ways of towns and cities, and indeed, though he can stare down a wolf, towns frighten and frustrate him.

It's a crap, shit, and a stupid attempt at a clone! The clown that wrote it is a moron and was quite adversarial towards Gary. His "clone" is awful and "soulless"!

You're thinking of Spelljammer!Aramis wrote:might want to change that to joshuagarlock at hotmail dot com to avoid imminent spammification there Kayolan!
As for my character, I will be playing someone massively disordered, possibly insane. I almost always have some magic in there and some stealth, usually some kind of demi human (elf) but as I don't know how the game works I may end up accidentally with a hippopotamus pistolier.

There's a lot of variety with the Bravo, basically it's more of a fighting style and attitude than anything, and they can be found in any society in one form or another.Rigon wrote:After trying to come up with a different character concept, I've decided to stick with the Bravo. I think I can work a backstory for it. More to come when I get it worked on.

If you are talking about swords specifically they describe the way in which they are used, rather than specific mechanics, though for reference here is a list:Treebore wrote:I take it the weapon descriptors have specific game mechanics meanings? Cutting, Cleaving, thrusting etc...?
