Campaign Summary
Campaign created Tuesday, September 9, 2008 09:49:09 PM by Blackfoot

This is a tale of normal folks who are plunged through magic and the machinations of strange gods into a world of danger, romance and heroism.
Campaign Description
I might be willing to consider 1 more player who is willing to post at least once per 24hrs.
-----
When the game started this is what I was looking for:

I am looking for basic character personality ideas not fully flushed characters at first. I will want to see a semi-complete 50pt 'normal' character... with 50pts in disads. To be clear, I mean 0 base points, 50 total points. This is you 'before' weird things happen.

The players will be from a small U.S. university and can have all the dynamics that that sort of situation implies. The real world is pretty much our world, filled with myths and tales of olde but not much evidence of 'magic' anywhere to be found. Players should be more or less 'normal' folks with decent ethics, while not necessarily squeaky clean.. they should have standards to live by. Good decent folks.

Characters will be magically enhanced normals with 'some' super powers.. or potent magical items or the favor of the gods or creatures of the magical world.. Characters will eventually be 350 points but not terribly well rounded. Expect strengths and weaknesses.

The general flavor of the game will be fairly upbeat. Heroes will be heroic although real not cardboard cutouts. Please stay away from more villainous types, axe murderers and the like.

This campaign should be a lot Fantasy Hero... but also a little bit : super : , a little bit.. : zorro : , a little bit.. : karate : and some : hypnotic : mixed in.

The Anthropology class seemed like fun and easy credits. Most of the class was structured around a research trip to Ireland, which would be a great opportunity to see some of the most beautiful countrysides in the world. The Professor had been researching peoples living in Ireland before the arrival of the Celts. During his research he had come across evidence of a site that bore some truly unique artifacts. Professor Heath was actually paying for students to assist in the field study. Travel expenses and lodgings, such as they were, were covered. Plus students got to take care of one of those painful Humanities credits that were such a nuisance. Students were expected to assist with recording data and interpreting the site, little did they realize what they were truly in for...

Quotes
While talking with Koriham the 'kindly' old sage, Annie comes up with this gem when she poses:
Annie looks around the tavern, then says, "Come upstairs to our room and I'll show you what I have. No point in flashing them around here."
Annie Jones - Chapter IV.
Continuing with Annie's 'suggestive' nature she feels it necessary to invite Koriham to:
"Plumb me too!" says Annie, giggling.
