No, I won't be playing in this one, but I will lurk and observe.
Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

By Sunday I wouldn't mind to have everyone's pc in hand!

Sunday night I will put up the very first cutscenes, and have Ron transfer all this thread to our own OOC Thread.

What I'd like from all of you is some prerolls. By that I mean some d20, d10, d6, d4 and d8 rolls. I can use these without having to ask you to roll this or that skill check! Makes it a lot more interesting, wouldn't you say?

Here is a more comprehensive background for Pyotr, feel free to comment.

Pyotr Molotov was born under the shadow of Castle Ravenloft to Yuri Molotov, a ranger and monster hunter of some repute in Bavoria. His mother was Cathine Molotov, who died in giving birth to Pyotr. Yuri Molotov never remarried, and raised his son while still working as a monster hunter.

As Pyotr grew up, His father taught him all that he knew about monster hunting, and young Pyotr would often accompany his father on hunting trips. Yuri taught Pyotr that he should be self sufficient, and shouldnt rely on others for help. He also taught Pyotr the value of honoring contracts, and always getting the job done.

The previous year, Yuri Molotov retired to a cabin in the outskirts of the village around Castle Ravenloft, leaving Pyotr to seek out his destiny on his own. Now short on funds, Pyotr travels across Barovia in search of paying work.

I tried the pre rolls tactic for my own pbp game on here, and the players overwhelmingly said no to this idea. While i think it might be speedy as a DM the PC's felt they lost a certain amount of control over their characters actions. I'd rather roll as we go. We all post frequently enough so it shouldn't be a problem.


It seemed like we had alot of rogues, but now we dont have any.

OH I want those rolls for lil ole me. You know sometimes you want a roll from a pc, but he doesn't have to know he is in fact doing some type of check, but you do know. The pc's aren't aware of certain things that you of course are.

Thanks for those of you who have rolled thus far!

As a matter of fact, when I require a roll please use one of the many online dice rollers. I have used two in the past:

This one you have to enter a few times the pertinent info or maybe try this one:

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/

Both are quite good. Anyone knowing of another that is reliable, post it here for the others!

Really looking forward to posting the first two cutscenes and the actual first post of our adventure!

K, just to warn you all I'll go for a Rogue at first level, and try to multiclass to swashbuckler later on.

I'm finishing the background right now, but stats will take a bit longer
