[LFP - 2 Spaces] Hullabaloo Over Ragged Hollow || OSE

#1 Post by SCREE »

Hullabaloo Over Ragged Hollow
╚═━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈----┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━═╝
///
In the quaint town of Ragged Hollow it is a well known fact that the journey from childhood to adulthood is punctured by a Halloo. A jaunt into the wilderness, when young folk grab their walking sticks and go adventuring, seeing new sights and making friendships with strangers and other Hallooers. When ready to head home, they settle into the jobs of their parents and forefathers, and live a quiet simple life, if dull and unassuming.

You are a youth who has recently returned to your home of Ragged Hollow after an extended time away, your Halloo freshly behind you. You are in the company of friends, your party of companions well known to you. But when you return, something is amiss in the village. Something is horribly wrong, and it is a race against time to save your loved ones and childhood friends from a horrible fate worse then death. People you know and love are dying; can you save them... before it is too late for everyone?
///
What is this?
╚═━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━═╝
+ A classic Old School Essentials Game, which is a B/X clone, in a typical medieval fantasy world for 4-5 Players. Familiarity with the system is not needed.
+ Open Exploration: There are several small dungeons to explore along with some simplified hexcrawl action. The town of Ragged Hollow is a focal point.
+ Time records will be tracked along with inventory management. We will be using the item based encumbrance system - familiarity not needed, a character sheet will be provided or you can use the sheet on the dice roller easily.
+ I reckon it will be a generally light-hearted adventure with an occasional dark moments. Characters will start knowing each other and have ties to some townsfolk.
+ Player ingenuity is rewarded. Challenges are open ended. Success is not assured, but oppurtunity is everywhere.

Interested!
I think I would want to play an aspiring Cleric.
Curious if you re planning on going Basic or Advanced OSE.

A Cleric would be a perfect fit ;) trying not to give too much away but the main quest relates to the local temple, so being a cleric of that god would be a nice tie in.

Going Basic/Classic, though I don't mind incorporating some of the advanced classes that fit the setting, if someone has their heart set on something. Speaking of, I was going to ask players if they prefer THAC0 Attack Matrix or Ascending Armour Class, as I'm comfortable with either.

Good on the Cleric - lets see if the dice agree when we get there ;)
Recently I have been wanting to go full out, so my preference is Basic and THAC0!

Interested too!
I got a very halfling vibe from your pitch, would a short guy fit in the setting?

I'm tempted to do something I've never done before and remove prime requisite requirements. My reasoning is that it's a very small sandbox for levels 1-3(ish) and so I don't think the 5% and 10% will matter too much. Plus I don't want to discourage someone from playing something unusual like a very dumb spell caster. The trade-off would be that players won't experiment with classes that aren't in their wheelhouse but I don't think it's much of a problem for this specific setting.

Welcome aboard! Halflings would fit in well here.

Excited to adventure. I'm down for any class, might roll randomly based on whatever is left over.
Ive never used thac0 and am very comfortable with ascending ac but am okay learning something new if that's everyone's preference.

Welcome! Just waiting to hear back on a couple of people and then we can get started. I'm happy with AAC or THAC0 so let's see what the consensus shakes out to be :D

Wellp folks! Everyone should now be added to our subforum! Additional sections will be added as we go. Any questions about character creation can go in the OOC or Character Creation tab. Please link your rolls while making your character in the Character Creation section and finished sheet in there when ready.

Happy Halloo everybody!

We've had some IRL issues crop up so we've got a couple of spots open for players. If a light romp is what you're hankering for, Ragged Hollow has you covered.

You can read more here. We're still getting settled into the village.
