A challenge: Where are the churches?

[Pen N Popper]

Weekends I don't play very much so I was pleased when I had a couple hours open up today to play. I'm reflecting now on this momentus occassion, courtesy of some bad, bad bugbears. :-)
  So I decided that rather than share my reflections exclusively with the IRC crowd, I'd pose the question here instead. Lucky you!
  Where are the churches?
  I don't mean physically, I mean RPingly. Where are the clerics giving sermons on the corner, organizing worship services, "fund raising" for church festivals and holidays?
  I am challenging you, the classes of faith and dependent on a deity, to step up and show some religious spirit. Go back and re-read your deities page on LORE and take note of the holidays, etc.
  Will there be any that take up the gauntlet thrown down in challenge?

[Chnmmr]

Very rarely do I see any cleric of any faith do anything cleric like.  Its like they are fighters with spells.

[Pen N Popper]

I'm not being critical of anyones RP. This is more of an RP challenge.
  I, like so many others, have complained about the lack of quest accessibility, etc. etc. This is my challenge to the players to go ahead and make some of their own ideas come alive. It's not easy.
  Go ahead and challenge yourself and your RP: Schedule a player event. Do you check the player calendar as frequently as the GM calendar? Go sign up for a fellow player's event.
  Let's see what you've got! :-)

Poor poor Layonara. PnP, you have just rekindled my spirt for Xilo Who. ThegnomeclericofShadon.

You may want to wait for the extended deity handbook release that will be released (hopefully) before Christmas.

Just in time for it to make a LOVELY gift for your child, wife or pet hamster! Pre-orders now at only $19.99!

couldn't resist...

Well, if people would be so kind to donate $19.99 when they download it, we'd be extremely happy as it still costs $300-400 a month to keep the place running.

Does getting drunk with other PC's in a tavern count as a sermon for shadon?

Thorgist was happy to be able to say the prayer before going to Ulgrids recently. He is also quite vocal about his faith but sometimes he gets the old door in the face action going on (hahaha fair enough). As a newby I'm still a bit nervous about scheduling events and such. Once the extended deity handbook becomes available and my typing becomes a little faster Thor'd be very keen to step up to the pulpit and do some bible thumping. The efforts for better RP are admirable. I have learned through association with more experienced players that it really isn't about levels it is about great role playing. I stayed up until five in the morning on Thorgist's first (impromptu) trip to Ulgrids and didn't even really realise the time because I was so engrossed in the story. Oh yeah, the donation will be happily payed, this place is worth every cent and more.

And, this is still a bargain for an RP PW. Think, we could be on WoW with all the gold farmers and spawn campers, getting PK'd any time we happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and being called 'Noob' by all the 733t people.. or however they say it. Personally anytime someone says something like that to me my first reaction is disgust, followed closely by the urge to swiftly accelerate my podiatrical appendage into their groin region, and then beat them severely with a "Moron to English" translation book.


Vyris needs to lay off the caffeine today.

That's fun yeah, though technically it'll be the middle of summer on Layo or something; one has to press the time warp button to celebrate holidays!

Hey Vyris,

Where has Berdin been lately? Thorgist could use some strict Clerical instruction in the ways of a Voraxite priest. My first PC met up with Berdin at the rest area in the ranger's vale when he was killing a stray ogre. At the time I thought he was the best PC I had met and from that moment I wanted to creaate a Battle priest of Vorax *cheers and pulls out Vorax deity flag*. Unfortunately Thorgist hasn't had the good fortune to have met Berdin yet *slumps shoulders*.

I sent you a PM.
