I do hereby declare this EPT game open for business! ;D
(pulls back sleeves)
On this incipient thread I shall list the esteemed persons that have manifested interest in joining the game and hope that they, like good little students at the local Temple-School raise hands and cry "Present" and answer two questions.
So far we've got:
- Noisms - Ranele - Sham - Trineshhissanmarin - Finarvyn (maybe?)
Now for the questions:
a) I'm planning on taking care of all the dice-rolling myself "behind the scenes", is this ok with everyone or would you prefer we used a dice-rolling program. That would of course slow down things a bit more.
b) Likewise for chargen I'm planning on doing the dice-rolling. You get a blank-slate PC with stats and money and get to select class, culture, skills and equipment. Let me know if you really want to do the dice-rolling yourselves.
That's all for now. It's late as heck in Scotland so I shall be going to bed soon.

"Present!"
You rolling the dice will work fine for me.

The player count so far is:
- Noisms - Ranele - Sham - Trineshhissanmarin - Makofan - Suushih (awaiting confirmation)
Everyone except Suushih has their PC stats posted on [CHARGEN] Stat Rolls. Give those numbers some souls folks.
My goal is to be up and running by next week. I shall be posting the houserules soon (that's where stuff like the Idea and Luck rolls comes from).

And another update:
- Noisms - Ranele - Sham - Trineshhissanmarin - Makofan - Suushih - Spudcld
Right, that's more than enough folks so I guess I'll be closing slots down, unless we get any quitters.
Spudcld, are you the Joseph that posted on my blog by any chance?

Just making sure. All the different names and tags begin to blend in one's mind. Wait until we have character names, he?

Referee dice rolling, including for chargen, is cool by me.

Smashing. Lets proceed then. I'll PM you with what you need to choose for your character.
You can check his stats so far in the "[Chargen] Stat Rolls" thread. Avaiable classes are in the [Classes & Occupation] one.

No, but I am Joseph...have I found my way here too late, or do I still have an opportunity for noble action?

Oh, and of course I accept the convention of referee dice rolling...isn't that what "gamemaster screens" were invented for?
And being limited to human characters is fine too, of course (so much for that Nyagga priest...)
Since my knowledge of the setting is mostly abstract, having never been put into application, I'm thinking of avoiding any magic-using character. I know little about how magic functions on Tekumel, and would prefer to learn by watching. Also, more physical characters seem to be the easiest to play initially.
If his stats support it, I'm thinking of a scarred, middle-aged former soldier or gladiator, semi-retired from his former career and now something of a free agent, seeking personal glory and a worthy death. I'm a bit non-plussed about what nationality to claim for him, though...

Just wanted to let everyone know things are proceeding along fine. Most players have finished their characters and the others are near completion.
I will also take this opportunity to announce that recruitment for the game is closed. We have 7 players in total which is a lot.
Sorry to any interested latecomers. Please feel free to lurk when the game begins and if any slots become available in the future and you with to join let me know.
Right, now I'm off to work. When I return I will try to post some more House Rules.

Attention worthless nakome scum, wanderers, adventurers and seekers of illicit fortune!
All player characters are now completed and placed in the rooster.
By order and approval of the most Puissant, Glorious and Ever-Living Emperor this saga is now ready to commence.
Legions of scribes supported by an army of slaves carrying paper, scrolls, inks and writing utensils in astounding profusion stand ready and eager to register what deeds may follow.
Should these be magnificent, astounding and entertaining mayhap they shall grace the golden pages of the Korunkoi hiGardasisayal Koluman hiTirikeludalidalisa (The Book of Mighty Imperial Deeds of the Great and Glorious Petal Throne) and provide mirth to our beloved monarch, the Messenger of Humankind to the Courts of the Almighty Gods, Emperor Hirkane Tlakotani, 61st of the line, The Stone Upon Which the Universe Rests.
So may ye stride forth arrayed in Valor and Noble Action to weave a Skein of Destiny that shall lead you to glory and riches beyond recounting.
We have spoken. All hail the Emperor! Glory to Tsolyanu!

Well folks, its official. I have spoken with Suushih via PM and can confirm he has left the campaign. I will run Do'olnar as an NPC and will find a way to remove him from the campaign later. I am not sure I want to take on a 7th PC to replace him, but if any potential gamers are interested in playing this PC, at least for this adventure let me know.

At the local Palace of Ever-Glorious War stands the following add: "For rent --- 22 year old, clanless, very attractive Haida Pakalyani sorcerer-priest of the Goddess Mretten. Superior Intellect and Psychic Ability, trained in the ability of finding both traps and secret doors, fluent and literate in four languages and possessing an extensive array of skill. Comes fully equipped, house-broken and unhurt. Used by previous owner for only a short time. Answers to the name of Do'olnar Pretast'ta. First come; first served...apply now!"So I'm letting Do'olnar be run by someone else willing to pick him up. I have had four people manifesting their wish to join the game after I closed slots and in all fairness these will have precedence in taking over Do'olnar in the order they contacted me: Badger2035 Narkodlan Victor Raymond Agcias If after 24 hours none of these nice folks posts in this thread making known their willingness to play Do'olnar I will let him be taken by whoever else does so, again in a first-come, fist-served basis.

well, I am not on your list, but, if no one else joins it, I could be enticed. I suspect you will find a taker. In any event, I may steal your opening gambit to launch my own campaign IRL. Feel flattered..

I am interested, will keep up with play and have already dug out my antique copy of the "plastic bound" rules.
Can I play, huh, can I? My Lord the eminent sorcerer Trinesh hiSsanmarin can vouch for (or warn you against) me.
