aw crap i still gotta do the starting gold stuff thanks for reminding me!

My roll is linked on my sheet down near the bottom. I just can't afford more than a 3PDC for rent otherwise I run out of money. I probably should have bought some other stuff too but there isn't a whole lot of options that make sense, the past book focused on combat equipment IIRC.

Aaaaaaaaand... IT'S DONE!

Possible connections would be:
Robert is a childhood friend and partner in crime for his expeditions.*
Harry may be interested in what Will screamed at night in the infirmary.
Thomas... no idea. Will does have a high survival score, so I he may have tought Thomas where to get his mushrooms

* I wrote the expedition part before I read Robert's background, so this is a pleasant coincidence.

...Also, I just noticed that we have a Harry who's an investigator/wizard, a Will who's tough and survival-savvy, a Thomas who's charismatic, and a Bob who's well-versed in arcane lore. Was this intentional on anyone's part besides Flay's?

Apart from Harry I don't get any of the references, so: no sir, it was not.

I would be VERY interested, yes! And similarly, I would be "living" near the library, but I'd be living in the library. I'll try and come up with a place soon. I wouldn't be surprised if I was renting out a small flat, a la Harry Dresden or Sherlock Holmes.

Oh, and Pip, there is something I think you should read.

Thanks, Flay! Things make a lot more sense now.

I already rolled and substracted my gear, bhu. Though I remember I put some stuff like a compass somewhere on my sheet, but it's nowhere to be found.

also, we'll be starting after monring breakfast so gimme an idea of what you'll b e doing

Just after breakfast and opening the shop, William's father, Ian McQuillen, instructs him to make a delivery of maps to the library.

Robert will probably be asleep, having stayed up late the night before to finish an order of rifles.

Flay Crimsonwind · « **Reply #145 on:** June 30, 2011, 01:21:29 AM »

Harry will be waking groggily, on top of his studies, in the library. He'll notice the time, and in a panic start cleaning up after himself.

ah well if u guys already rolled for money we'll go with that for now. Does everyone have all tehir sheets done, and a profession which earns them money?

Bozwevial · « **Reply #147 on:** June 30, 2011, 09:00:00 PM »

I'm not entirely certain what system we're using for wealth or where the equipment lists are.

bhu · « **Reply #148 on:** July 01, 2011, 05:53:59 AM »

Pip and arc, what did you use for wealth generation? Do you have teh d20 past book?

PipTheBlue · « **Reply #149 on:** July 01, 2011, 08:58:52 AM »

Well, I couldn't find any supplemental rules on how to roll for wealth, so I used the standard SRD way.

bhu · « **Reply #150 on:** July 01, 2011, 06:28:13 PM »

official rules:

Roll 2d4 and add the starting wealth bonus for your starting occupation to determine starting welath bonus

+0 impoverished or in debt

+1 to +4 struggling

+5 to +10 middle class

+11 to +15 affluent

+16 to +20 welathy

+21 to +30 rich

+31 or more very rich

to purchase something roll id20 plus wealth bonus , and you must equal or exceed the purchase dc of the item

obviously it would take forever to list the equipment and mods here. I can try to find a link for it online to send to everyone (hint)

PipTheBlue · « **Reply #151 on:** July 01, 2011, 07:35:09 PM »

Yup, those are the rules I used.

As a constable you find much of your time taken up working for the local judges. The Library Company occasionally pays you to translate Germanic texts in your spare time as well.

If you could find a link to the equipment list, that would be great. The closest thing I have is the Sidewinder equipment list, which is still a bit too technologically advanced.

bhu · « **Reply #154 on:** July 04, 2011, 04:16:40 PM »

General equipment is in the srd http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/msrd

though most of that stuff is unavailable

I'll try to get you a link to d20 past (I may have to find a pdf)

Question for Pip: What kind of business do your parents own?

Note for Arcangel Arcanis: You are currently working on headstones as there isn't much call for sculpture due to panic about the war.

archangel.arcanis · « **Reply #156 on:** July 05, 2011, 11:12:47 AM »

Gotcha BHU. I'm finally back among those with access to technology again. As much as I love the little woman's grandparents being so far out there the GPS asking "where the hell are you?" (only a slight exaggeration) is a bit much for me.

bhu · « **Reply #157 on:** July 05, 2011, 07:21:35 PM »

Notes for Boz: Your bosses name is Robert Colonel Peebles, you are currently working on an order of 100 muskets, his specialty. There are rumors your shop may be co-opted to develop new rifles for the war effort.

Does anyone need anything other than equipment before we start?

Bozwevial · « **Reply #158 on:** July 05, 2011, 11:25:41 PM »

No, once I get my equipment settled I should be good to go.

My dad took over my grandfather's cartography (work)shop.
