So, since I'm taking the time to update, what else has been going on?
Broken Kingdoms
I was a little disappointed by the (lack of) showing of people who had previously expressed interest in my game - by the end of the evening I had four players and some of those were because I was the only GM who was taking players on the night. However, since I only had two rulebooks and that proved not to be enough it was probably for the best. Although had I had more players I would probably have taken more of a "have them describe their character concept and then guide them to a good option" approach rather than a "let them read through everything in the rulebooks and reach a decision" approach.
So, we have:
Rogue - black-sheep younger son of an important merchant, recently deceased. Already pre-spent his own inheritance getting his late father to bail him out of debt. Inheritance situation with the rest of the family looks about to get messy.
Mage Blade - was loaned to the rogue's father as a bodyguard during his illness, shares several personality traits with the rogue - like carousing tendancies.
Mind Witch - apprenticed to a healer at the Hall of Ceremonies who attended rogue's father, only recently manifested witchery abilities and has learned the hard way how having strange powers can change people's attitudes towards you. Breaking away from previous social group.
Wolf Totem Warrior - Collects and sells a variety of useful natural items from the surrounding area and supplies to both the healers and one of rogue's father's business ventures. Has caroused with rogue and mageblade a time or two.
Three of these characters are keen to go after a quick coin, and the vote was for ruin-delving. The opening scenario will have them working for one of the Expeditionary guilds, escorting a small expedition to a known, 'safe' area of the old Rhisan ruins.
Course
I was again the only student at the Institute by the end of the day - in fact by about 4:20pm. I took pity on the tutor and left about 5:30, slightly earlier than I had planned. I have come to the conclusion that very few people actually attend the proscribed shift times.
The company has been sold again, and amoung other changes the campus will be moving shortly. Not far.
More lj icons huh? Might even be enough that I'll look at laying in a good selection. Of course I could just figure out how to customise my mood theme properly, which is what I actually use different user icons to represent anyway.
