Rafael,

I just realized that our native Ravenloft PCs don't know the local language! In leveling up, do we need to "buy" proficiencies in any of the Faerun dialects?

I chose the Realms because many of you had characters with FR background, so this would give a feeling like *coming home*. Also, there's the point that FR is the one setting most closely related to RL, with many famous NPCs and Darklords coming from there.

As to the languages, I am an old BB gamer, so I really don't care too much. Let's assume that everyone knows the *Common* language of the Realms.

Since I, a FR native, experienced no difficulty in speaking to Ravenloft natives, presumeably the reverse also applies. Its one of those mist effects I expect.

True. It's always a pleasure see family and friends!

Oh please let me use this phrase at least 1000 times, with some DMs I know!
I love FR and even alhoon who as myself likes magic, he believes that the setting is overpowered and without atmosphaire. I totally disagree, yes in FR there are many high level characters, liches and there is very much magic around, but I guess everything depends on the DM, how he/she plays. I have played many times in FR with a friend of mine as DM and quite always we haven't encounterd a lich and the campaign had so much atmosfaire that became oppressive even for me who I'm used to play RL!

I'm pretty sure that we are going to have very much fun in Forgotten!

What I have to say I'm a Realmy!

Just visit Zhentil Keep , Elversult , Raven's Bluff, Myth Drannor(Ruins), Calimport, The UNderdark, The Anauroch desert the list goes on , the FR can be very interesting indeed!

Indeed! The Anaouroch desert can be like Har Akir or Sebua and Calimport is pretty much as Martira Bay, foul of criminals!

Underdark is really cool! I have played once there and I had had very much fun.

FR isn't bad - I just came to know it in a moment when I had already found other settings that I am familar with. The problem with every new setting is that one really needs time and energy to learn their rules - time that I usually don't have.

FR is not my world of choice as a DM , but it's fun for me as a player. Lots of places to explore, detailed world, cool dungeons and cities. I can't say I much care for the metaplot TSR introduced with the Avatar series[ and some of the high powered NPCs seeming to be such Mary Sues[ Elminster!

Drizzt

].

With me, it's quite the same.

I like the FR video games, and enjoy the adventures. (For the record, the *Moonshae* sourcebook is one of my all-time favourites.)

Yet, the other marketing aspects just don't catch me. I am just too old for Drizz, I guess.

Nobody is too old for Drizzt Do Urden! It's very simple the guy, ehm... the drow can do everything! He is very cool!

Yeah it's true you're never too old,, Guess he is my fave FR character tied with Entreri and Manshoon. Elmister meh he's unbeatable and the sisters are ok.

I rather enjoy Azalin and Starhd the most!

Can't remember if I already announced it to you, but I have opened my own odschool message board which you might want to check from time to time.

(Just click the link in my sig if you want to see what I am cooking out.)

Maybe, to make time shorter while waiting for the new game to start, what about if everyone posts a picture/image of his or her character? - It might take a while googling out the right pic, but you might enjoy it.

VAN · Post by **VAN** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 3:50 pm

It's a good idea I'll ask my brother to help me since I don't know where to check in google. Yes I admit it, my ability to internet is rather limited.

Sounds good to me I'll find some nice Drow piccie

steveflam · Post by **steveflam** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 8:53 pm
