Oh don't PM me now. Later after the weekends. I haven't rolled mine yet. So knowing yours now kills the drama. LOL BTW, why Soul Spawn?

Well, I chose my name after I manifested my Disciplines, so it all kinda hangs off that. If you read my short description in the "new players" bit, you can kinda guess what my first Discipline was

No, none of those books are necessary. You miss out on a few equipment options, but nothing that would hamper you too much; after all, you won't be able to flash Darklands artifacts without consequences, at least not initially. Enemy territory, remember? Background story is always nice, of course... But much of it can develop during play. 4d6, discard lowest. I trusted Beowuuf, so I'm going to trust the rest of you. Later on, I might use an online diceroller, but more about the boring mechanics stuff later on. The story is more important. Good choice. That should make for a good mix of brains and brawn in the team, with two NAK, a buccaneer and a sage (and possibly a Right-Handed Sorcerer). About how long you have for your characters... Well, I was hoping to start the IC thread sometime late on sunday evening (Central European Time, that is), since that is my last free night for a week. I am making all the preparations I can this weekend so I don't have to work too much with the posts during the week. As with Maerin's game, I am hoping for at least one post a day from each of you. Of course, it is not quite necessary that you have every little detail ready for then, since most of the first few posts will be conversation and briefing. But if you are able, try to PM your characters to me on sunday.

Sunday for you would be Monday for me. Right! We can use the diceroller that we used in KHFA's game, the one on rpol?
So we're using 4d6, discard lowest eh? Give me 3 sixes 6 times!!! Woot!

Thanks for that Slavey. So what can a NAK start with for equipment? The 13000 gc you get as a lvl 6 should be more than enough for good starting equipment on the lines of Mastercrafted armour and weapons. All of the drugs, potions and poisons (except Oede) are available. Magical items are also available if they are culturally appropriate (no Kalte Fire Spheres or Mantles of Chai, for example) and provided you can afford them - keep in mind the 50% limit on any single item. This will allow you to buy, for example, a Mastercrafted +2 Jewelled Broadsword for 6350 gc. As for the items described in Darklands... Opaline Spheres and Zharalatryn Vials are not available; you're not that far up in the hierarchy to be trusted with one of those, yet. All the others can be purchased, so if you want to shell out half your capital on a single Zejar-Dulaga, be my guest But once again, keep in mind that you are supposed to be discreet for the time being... While I'm at it, I also want to point out one of the charms of playing in an evil group, namely the paranoia it engenders; you are free, even encouraged, to follow your own agenda to the best of your abilities. Some of you may or may not already have received personal PM:s, and as the campaign progress, you will get more. Whenever you make a Knowledge Check or find some special information, I will PM you the result, and then you can choose yourself how much of it, if any, you want to divulge to your groupmates.

Er, ok I may need to borrow a relevant game book off someone so I can look at the equipment lists as all I have is the basic d20 lists.
EDIT - Well for just over 20 quid on that site Wuuf posted, Ive bagged the main LWRPG rule book and the Darklands expansion. Made more sense to me to purchase since we're a while away for the new RPG.

Oooh. I'll get on it as soon as possible! Does the 13,000 gc loot apply to all of us?

As I said, my mum is here until monday night, but of course my character is fully developed already - if you need to integrate people, my 'bucaneer' has obviously spend a little bit of time inland workign for mercenary compaies.
He might even be a 'poiunt of contact' person getting hired to smuggle and show the ropes to the Darklands characters - much to his chagrin and surprise, since his obvious shadaki features will have gotten him noteriety he will have had to combat!

Maerin : Mad scientist kind-of mage? I wonder how that looks like in LW? Kinda like a Nadziranim maybe? I said sage, not mage. You all may be rather fixiated on Evil with a capital "E", but humans are quite as capable of being immoral without explicit Naarish empowerment...and enslavement.

So basically you will be playing "Maerin unhinged" Que the need for an even whispier goatee and tash combo.

Well, not being a Nadziran does mean I'm not Evil, but an RHS is definitely evil
