The old Sunflower play-test threads have been locked and archived. This is another attempt at a proper game. I express my thanks to The Semi-Retired Gamer and mao who played in the play-test in 2022, and to Admin Pete for hosting the game here. This game will have some hidden rolls made by the ref behind the scenes. Other such matters will be dealt with as they come up. Likely proper combat will not come up for some time. Instead of proper character classes, those who wish to play should describe a character in this thread. All characters should be from Moonbloom. The Semi-Retired Gamer , you and I have already spoken about this. Go ahead and name and describe your character. Then, once you hear an okay from me (I do not expect to have to give pushback), go ahead and post in thread 001. Your character may inherit Ethan's stats from the play-test, or you may choose from these: 10 6 8 7 7 10 12 13 7 7 12 6 8 5 13 11 5 14 7 8 10 12 9 11 |

Give me a moment and I will do a description... |

Edwin Greyback
STR 14
DEX 11
CON 11
INT 13
WIS 13
CHA 10
Hit Points: 5
Edwin Greyback, son of Ethan and Anne, has lived in Moonbloom his entire life. He bears a striking resemblance to his father and shares a love of books with his father as well. He has followed similar pursuits as his father but has occupied more of his time with scholarly subjects such as lore and legends of the area. Edwin does, however, know how to defend himself in martial combat and has trained with the very sword that his father carried on his adventures. Edwin enjoys sitting around a warm fire and listening to tales of adventure and yearns for such adventures in his own life.
Let me know if you need more than this...

Just for the record, I'm not promising for myself, or requiring from anyone else, any special intensity of posting. When it's fast, it's fast, when it's slow, it's slow.
Other business to be posted about and decided as necessary.

Forgot to mention -- as I have learned from The Perilous Dreamer 's campaigns and campaign reports, you cannot go off-script in Sunflower. There is no "breaking the game" or "breaking the world." Players can and should choose what they want their characters to do. They should also ask for more information about what's already known, or ask for more information through their characters' senses. |

The Semi-Retired Gamer, if Edwin wants anything special (that is, if he goes to bed next), list it here, please. If it overlaps with what Anne packs, he has it. If not, and it's available and fits, he has it. If it's not available, I'll let you know.

I'm assuming he'll have a back of some sorts - correct me if I'm wrong - so here goes. bedroll tent rope stakes sturdy journal & writing quills with ink water jug rations cloak tinder box sack or two change of clothes Maybe I'll think of more, maybe I won't. Let's try that. |

In effect, we're doing equipment in-game, so there's no "tension" around this -- when does the ref post, window close, etc. |

Apologies for slowness today, too. Not the best week. Game is NOT on hiatus or anything. I'll be as quick as I can without sacrificing quality.
