You're all royal
You may choose your beautiful butterfly wing colours with the limitation that they're based on real butterflies. Please post a photo of the butterfly you're based on below, or go the whole hog and draw yourself wings and all.
You owe Mr Fixer a great debt you feel you can never repay, but you'll do your best, and to a lesser extent to Mr Orthrus and Matt's centaur character
You are a royal Elyllon (30 points) and have suffered considerable pain, indignity and mental stress as a result of being a captive of the evil Lord Carrick.
Through Mr Fixer's efforts you've undergone some rehabilitation and have developed a keen interest in the big city in which you find yourself.
You have 100 points to spend on your character with the usual 40 worth of disadvantages. There may be inappropriate disadvantages, these will be discussed and reviewed by your
Let me know if you need more background on Ellyl custom and culture.

And what about the uneasy peace with Lady Anishka? Inquiring minds, etc.

ReplyDeleteWhen is said adventure scheduled?
ReplyDeleteIs Hubbard allowed as a surname?
ReplyDeleteIt'll be an ongoing thing - not all Ellyllons presences will be mandatory, adventurers might just wing off for some adventure at a whim. (if we've got low numbers for example). This subset is a little more about fun and light relief although there will be definitely serious bits. If people have characters ready I could run it tomorrow. Mr Fixer, Andre and Mr Orthrus still have something to sort out, I recall.
ReplyDeleteBut I think it's probably Traveller tomorrow. Whenever people want, I'm easy.
ReplyDeleteGarry Winterton are you going to look in a cupboard to give your poor dog a bone?
ReplyDeleteis the 40 point disadvantage in addition to the 70 required for being an monarch
ReplyDeleteOh! Ellyllon Hubbard. No.
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaaargh!
ReplyDeleteI'm hit I'm going dowwwwwwwwnnnnnnn argh! Garry Winterton I'm getting the bug zapper.

ReplyDeleteBut I'm not going to have time to do character creation in time for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteWas the No for the name, or for the question about the disadvantages?
ReplyDeleteUndecided but I like it because it eats ants.

Is HP the same thing as HT? I think my rule book is too old.
ReplyDeleteChecks the 4e pdf lite she has. OK... Not same
ReplyDeleteHP is very close to Health. You can buy additional hit points on top of your health.
ReplyDeleteNo was for the name, Ellyllon Hubbard, no Dianetics fluttering things.
Garry who has done far too much pun damage already should be very proud of that Monarch pun.
ReplyDeleteHP seems to be strength based according to the 4e lite rules I have. What are we using?
ReplyDelete3e - ST ~- Fatigue
ReplyDeleteHT ~- Hit Points
Where ~- is a desperate attempt at an approximation mark in raw ASCII.
Heh, upload.wikimedia.org
ReplyDeleteI was going to pick Wanderer but that is the same as the Monarch.
ReplyDeleteVery swish, Stephen Gunnell! Ulysses unless I miss my guess - hah also something of a wanderer!
ReplyDeleteMonarchs can travel thousands of kilometres in their natural migration, hence the name. They're a very strong flier. Climate change is kind of stuffing them up in their migration, getting too cold at one end, and too hot at the other. :-( They do okay here though.
Cough cough. What's that bright light? Perhaps ... It would be prudent to scrap the acolyte/cleric and think of something else.
ReplyDeleteRob Masters but the info on the race seems to be 4e based
ReplyDeleteNope, 3rd edition rules, and 3rd edition version of the race.
ReplyDeleteIt's directly copied from Gurps Fantasy Folk, Second Edition, if that helps confuse things even more?
ReplyDeleteOur/Rob's copy of fantasy folk is 3e. The ht penalty is harsh. My mentally unstable honest, truthful, compulsively vowing spell caster needs to go back into its cocoon and re-gestate its choices.
ReplyDeleteEven though it says Second Edition on the cover, does that mean it's the second edition of FF, but is for 3E Gurps in general? Is that how it works?
ReplyDeleteoops I meant 2e we've had for so long I forget.
ReplyDeleteAlicia Smith you've got it right! 2nd edition Fantasy Folk for GURPS 3rd edition.
ReplyDeleteMy head hurts
ReplyDeleteHave a Bex, a cup of tea and a lie down. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll also be creating one in case anyone else wants to run one in the future. Their wings will be based on the dead leaf butterfly species.

don't cross the editions
ReplyDeleteIs that 100 pts after the Royal Elyllon pack or 70 pts after the RE pack?
ReplyDelete100 points free and clear to spend, you have Royal Ellyllon free.
ReplyDeleteMore questions: How does Fragile work? Do Elyllon ride birds? Could someone look up flint knapping for me please? What strengths are needed for Elyllon weapons?
ReplyDeleteI'll post some photos of the Ellyon pages.
ReplyDeleteFragile takes double damage from crushing attacks. Bird riding, hmmmm. I will think about that.
ReplyDeleteHaving read the full entry now I can't see any justification for it. Stone Knapping is MA (found my Compedium 1 pdf).
ReplyDeleteCan't find justification for Fragile or Bird Riding Stephen Gunnell?
ReplyDeleteBird riding. Well ... both?
ReplyDeleteGiven the nature of this race, I'm sure attempts at bird riding happen all the time to impress. Although it's probably more a case of 'hang onto bird and hope it goes my way' than being able to control it.
ReplyDeleteSome of the more established colonies may even raise trained birds.
I'm not sure that your own wing formation wouldn't interfere horribly with the aerodynamics. You can't fold them out of the way, only close them, like butterflies. Fragile does seem a harsh thing for such Health light creatures, doesn't it. Butterflies are really quite tough, some of them.
It is amazing how much justification you can fail to find when you are not looking for it. :)
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteIf they gamble...

ReplyDeleteFor me!
Alicia Smith Have a look at Epping Forest. Also look at Victoria pack in Hackney which is probably on our way. you might also have a look at Hackney Wick and Waltham Forest.
ReplyDeleteAlso Hainault Forest just on the other side of Epping Forest had deer until it was condemned in 1851.
ReplyDeleteIn the other direction near Wimbelton and Kew Gardens check out Old Deer Park at Richmond. And Richmond Park that replaced it in the 17th Century.
