Re: Out of Character Chat
Hi, thanks for letting me into the game!
I’ll read the rules and attempt to create a character over the next few days.
I’m thinking of a criminal, who’s services Professor Smith or Beddows sometimes call upon.

Re: Out of Character Chat
Hi, folks. I am thrilled to join the party.
Character completed. This is my first ToC character, so any feedback is welcome.

Welcome! Latin should not be a separate skill, but should be counted as one of your Languages, which frees up some investigative skill points for you. It's best to put them into skills that none of the rest of us have, so we can cover as many bases as possible.

Re: Out of Character Chat
I tweaked the sheet a little. I took off Latin and just put a four for languages. I figure the extra ones will come in handy as the story progresses.
I chatted with Mr. Handy a little on Discord, and he was a huge help.

Re: Out of Character Chat
Out of suggestion, a couple of languages of the countries of the campain would be useful:SaintMeerkat wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 2:43 am I tweaked the sheet a little. I took off Latin and just put a four for languages. I figure the extra ones will come in handy as the story progresses.

Re: Out of Character Chat
I´m waiting to post in the game thread because we have the fifth (and last) player working on his character creation

Re: Out of Character Chat
I think I'll give Andrew Turkish since it's come up (let me know if it is a red herring, although it sounds like we'll be going to Turkey eventually so I think it's a safe bet). I'll hold back on Arabic and Farsi unless they come into the game but I'd think they're the sort of thing he might know. I'll not specify anything else yet, I'm thinking maybe Greek, and Bulgarian or Serbo-Croat. And maybe a standard western European language like French, Italian, or German. I make it that we have 11 languages so far between Felicity, Andrew, and Archie so that's a good start.
Re: Out of Character Chat
We can wait until it comes up in play to declare that we know certain languages. Felicity will probably know French (it was in her original character sheet). Also, if languages are similar enough, the rules say you can know enough of a related language to get by without it counting toward your limit. For instance, the Romance languages are close to each other, so if Felicity knows French, that might let her understand Italian.

Anyway, looking at the sheets, I see the group will not have problems with language and, in fact, languages can be chosen when they come up in play.
Re: Out of Character Chat
I think everybody is aboard now. I´m giving some more time to the intial IC thread so that the new character Clarence can be introduced.

Hi chaps, thanks for waiting for me. Another TofC novice here but looking forward to it.

Re: Out of Character Chat
I´ve just posted a thread ("Some rules for the campain") about some rules and assumptions for the campain.
Feel free to reply there if you have any question, doubt or suggestion.

Re: Out of Character Chat
This is my first time to play here, so I have a procedure question.
My character just lost a point of stability. Do I keep up with that, or do I actually edit the character sheet post?

Re: Out of Character Chat
I was wondering that myself. In the games I run, I always update the character sheets myself (and repost them myself in the character sheet thread so that nobody else can do so, in order to ensure that both of us don't update it), but some Keepers expect the players to maintain their own sheets.

Re: Out of Character Chat
Understood. I think I will leave the original post untouched for historical purposes, and track everything locally.
