Thank ya Minerva,  at least the big map works for me now and I can see the world and how its laid out. Big huge help.

Dorganath says:
"As has been mentioned, amnesia and discovering oneself can happen, however you the player needs to acknowledge and agree that your character will not simply "discover" he/she was born to some noble house and is in line to succeed the king/queen, unless we tell you that specifically.

So in other words...your character can have amnesia and you as a player can also not know the details of the character's past, you have to at the very least agree to the fact that there will be no claims of nobility, influence, inheritance and so forth. Such things might be possible down the road, but only under GM-led conditions.

I hope that makes sense."

That completely makes sense to me.

"In the last campaign, there was a "call" sent out that was very powerful and even touched other worlds, and new characters could in fact come from other places"

Grrrr, just my luck that I don't find this place till after something like that happens.

I think I will go the amnesia route and will submit a bio shortly.

Thanks all and Merry Christmas !!

I'm going to copy and paste alot, I'm old and not sure how to do the "quote" thing.

Minerva you mentioned
"Player characters rise from a commoner background. The vast majority of commoners ever travel more than a few dozen miles from where they were born. There is no public schooling system - so only wealthy parents could afford to educate their child much above the skills of reading and writing"

Any possible way to start out as a zero level commoner? Probally not but that would be fun

The idea I had of using the Greyhawk lore was for RP purposes only. My character who is looking for his biological father would have come across a "portal" or something similiar in his search. That portal would have closed leaving this character stuck in Layonara. Now suddenly , he finds himself in a mess. The nice familiar area he was used to is now all new to him ( just like me ). Imagine finding yourself in a land where the night sky is different, the common language is a foreign tongue, the people look different and dress different. And if he was to be a spell caster type , spells not working right and/or prayers not being answered. His one quest is now turned into 2, his father and how to get home. In searching for answers to those he probally get caught up in several others and so on and so on. It would also possibly open the door so to speak for 3 real life friends to come to Layonara as well. Thier characters looking for my character.

Anyways , I tried a few other places and it seems that most are all about building characters with stats and not the RP aspect. The one I play on the most is fun but all you do is kill the bad guys no other way to stop them. 1 person on that server stated she downloaded the module and used a toolset on it. Talk about looking over the DM screen. Then got all fussy about the possiblity of them taking away the use of Holy Avenger/Sword with UMD.  Which I need to ask , does UMD work the same in Layonara as it does with NWN. Seems like all the power builds are part rogue or bard.

Also if I may ask , If playing a character with complete amnesia, would a bio still be needed? If so , how much detail could be left out to be discovered in game? How much of it could be left a mystery to the person playing the character.

The lore I know is the lore I know. I can read all about this world, its places, its history, its pantheon and its legends and even its constellations but still know nothing about the street that heads north from wherever the starting location might happen to put me. I guess one could make a detailed bio , then suddenly be struck by amnesia and have to see the world for the very 1st time again but since this is not a D&D type world then its not the type of world I'm really wanting to play.

Thanks for the information

Greetings,

I'm am really interested in playing in your world. It seems to be the type I am looking for but am wondering about a few things.

How much magic is this world ? Is there a +1 longsword everywhere I look ? Is a +1 longsword something to treasure ?

I see a SS of guy and talk of soul strands. If you lose too many your gone for good ?

In making a character, I will need to make a bio. Is it possible for me to make a bio for a character that was born in Greyhawk lore and somehow thru whatever means got to Layonara. I'm more familiar with Greyhawk lore and having a character dissapear from my AD&D world would fit my world as well.

Do all the quests end in killing the bad guys ?

Thanks
