Character Creation

Aug 8, 2025 9:15 pm
Howdy everyone!

Once again, here is a link to the quickstart rules if you want to old school roll some physical dice. And here is the quickstart character creation guide.

I recommend using Shadowdarklings to set up your characters. We are starting with Level 1 characters. Remember that we are only using the core rules and the first three Cursed Scroll vines.

Once each of your has rolled up your character, I would love to see a one-paragraph backstory and some sort of description as to your connection to the village of Hillshire (how did you find yourself in the village? maybe you lived there your whole life.)

Here is The Pitch one more time...
Early this morning, cultists of the Crimson Hand raided the nearby village of Hillshire, capturing several villagers before disappearing into the night. Sister Inna, a priestess of St. Terragnis who escaped the attack, hopes to enlist the PCs in rescuing the villagers, especially Father Marcus (a pillar of the community), saying they can keep any of the chapel's treasures recovered from the raiders.

How do we bring our characters over?

Ivar is a human thief whose village was attacked and burnt to the ground by a rival Jarl. He was only 10 at the time and was able to grab a sword and bow before he escaped and has been on his own ever since. He came to the village of Hillshire by just wandering around and has sustained himself by "finding things". He is very good at that and from time to time villagers pay him to find things they have lost which has enabled him to afford some leather armor and some other odds and ends. He has always kept his weapons from his home and his Gods. That is his link to the past.

Here is a character sheet. Then you can make the character in Gamers Plane and have the buttons to use.

I just want to double check:

This is what I see when I click the link. Is that to say that we are using some of the Core Book and the first three scrolls?

Or does the above picture accidentally exclude witches, goblins, desert riders etc etc? I’m not settled on anything yet, but just curious about how much of the set out resources are to be used!

Yeah, I just wanted to keep it simple so just the core rules and the first three zines.

Hi y'all! Thanks for the invite Dante! Should have a character submitted today or tomorrow

I just went and checked my link that I sent for Shadowdarklings because of KCCs post and I had a filter still set from the last time I was sending out the link for my in-person game. Sorry about that. Here is the link again with everything...

https://shadowdarklings.net/settings/sources=CS1,CS2,CS3,SD&ancestries=1,2,3,4,5,6&classes=1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14

You also could just go to Shadowdarklings and just make sure that you are only using material from the core rules and the first three zines.

Llewellyn the Outlander

https://shadowdarklings.net/share/cdo0t6zNX2JDtoWaDgLR

Llewellyn's type isn't typical in Hillshire, he's rough around the edges. He comes from a distant land, and arrived in the area some time ago, but given his heritage, has never fully integrated among the Hillshire set. He is a boorish, hard-set and hard-nosed fighter that has a penchant for saying what's on his mind, and not one that's made for the slower paces of village life as it is in the more settled places like Hillshire, but life led him to Hillshire after his own tribal village was sacked and ruined by Orcish warrant that left him homeless as a younger lad in his adolescence and a warrior took pity on him and brought him to Hillshire and taught Llewellyn all he personally knew. That man was a ranging type, and held some property just outside of Hillshire's limits back in the day, trapping and hunting to suffice. He eventually grew older and got sick and left Llewellyn to fend for himself after an unfortunate passing, in his stead, and so Llewellyn is a part of Hillshire as much as he is not in old Cormac Hunter's cabin. He frequents the village proper enough because he thirsts more for the companionship of people and what refreshments they have to offer more than Old Cormac did, so Llewellyn is a different personality than Cormac ever was.

Awesome looking barbarian, Plebian. When you have a minute, you can create the character here in Gamer's Plane. Feel free to use the character sheet I posted above, and then you can submit the character to the gam,e and I will accept.
