The setup:
Some time ago, a member of my local Roleplaying club aqquired the complete collection of the old Living Greyhawk modules(And I mean complete...Apparently he wants to find some bilingual people to run a fair portion of them for us). As a result, we resolved to setup an entirely local LG revival. The preparations have been made, and a slot in our time schedules has finally opened, and so it begins!(Two weeks ago)
The Cast:((Note that all characters are merely according to my perceptions))
Myself
Character: Claire Forte, human hexblade.
Relations: Grek(Protector)
I intend to produce other characters for other reasons, but for now Clare is my only one. She is a music-loving young girl, who has since birth held an unnatural power. Curiosity finally overwhelming all else, she has set out on a journey of self discovery. That and to listen to the performances of the great bards of the time. Her weapon of choice is a heavy crossbow, which she deploys in a reckless manner on the battlefield.
Despite not getting much support, the hexblade is a class I've always wanted to give a shot at playing. Even though it's UG, the GM has even approved the use of of the Hexblade fix (http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19547530/Contacting_Wizards_of_the_Coast_about_Hex_Blades?p ost_id=332210466#332210466), so I am not hopelessly oumatched. Ironically, the character who wound up taking this role was originally intended to be a Paladin.
Also, GM for the Region of Bissel
Mr. B
The one who obtained the modules. A charismatic man, who was apparently somewhat famous in the live-run of LG.
Character: Grek, dwarven fighter.
Relations: Claire(Charge)
A fun-loving dwarf, and an old adventuring companion of Claire's father. Knowing firsthand how dangerous the world can be, he asked Grek to act as a bodyguard in her journey, and wanting a bit of time away from his wife, Grek accepted. Unfortunately, his time of inactivity has dulled his skills somewhat. His stoic nature curbs Claire's reckless streak...or would if he was actually stoic. Grek's weapon of choice is his trusty axe, or failing that a plate of his wife's cooking.
Not having the time to put a character together on the day, Grek was a pregen handed to Mr. B on the day, which he quickly made his own.
Mr. O
An artist and friend of Mr. B, Mr. O is knows how to drive a story from both sides of the screen.
Character: Orgulus Frogmorten, halfling sorcerer.
A deft hand in Lore despite his class(class is meta anyway), Orgulus seems set on not just learning the great tales of the land, but starring in one himself. He is never without writing materials, and narrates his life as he goes. His preferred weapon is his magic, which seems to mostly involve making things explode.
Another player without the time to put a character together, however the GM designed this one on the spot.
Mr. Z
A man who has on more than one occasion admitted that whilst he has pretty much memorized the entirety of Dragon Magazine, the core PHB is for the most part hazy territory to him. He also freely admits to seeing characters as statistics first, characterization second.
Character: Tel Fieldyonder, human druid.
A druid who focusses on the healing side of nature, though he has a pet snake with a habit of fatally poisoning NPCs. That's about all there is to say on him right now, though a few details about the character might be illegal.
Mr. H
A potential GM for UG, but not one just yet. Though he strongly denies the fact, he is an RL troll.
Character: ???, human cleric of pelor
Cannot make an appropriate summary right now, check back later.
Mr. C
The GM as at now. Another old hand from LG, with a solid mastery of the rules and of optimization. Apparently a lurker on these forums, so hi, Mr. C!
Mr. A
A proud, aggressive(in a good way) man, with a tendancy to play proud, aggressive barbarians. He does branch out from time to time, though.
Character: Kordinfir, human barbarian.
Cannot make an appropriate summary right now, check back later.
Mr. J
A good natured man with a nice hat. Also current head of our group.
Character: Camdour Lothario, elven barbarian.
Cannot make an appropriate summary right now, check back later.
All characters who don't have a description are as such because I haven't seen enough of them in action. More specifically, as at now it's only been two sessions, and they have only played in one so far.
Session recaps to follow
