Out of Character (OOC)

Nov 30, 2025 11:53 pm
Welcome! This thread is for table talk and out of character discussions. You can also discuss combat strategy, tactics and combos here.

Welcome aboard @Avraham, @runekyndig and @kwll.

Please introduce yourself here, if you like, and check out the quickstart rules or the YouTube video for an overview of Nimble.

I will start session zero tomorrow. =)

Hello all, and thank you for choosing me. Is there an available character sheet we can use for this game?
Jan 6, 2026 9:58 am
This is one of my characters from another game. You can adapt it however you like. =)
[ +- ] Nimble

Hello, folks.

@htech, I am excited to be able to adventure with you again!
@runekyndig, we've crossed paths before. Looking forward to working with you. As an aside, your character drawing is exquisite!
@kwll, I don't think I've had the pleasure of campaigning with you before. I'm glad that is changing 😊.

I try to get into my character's head when I game PbP, so if I say something that is insulting or rude, please forgive me AND point it out so that I don't repeat. Also, GM, please reach out to me if you feel my actions/roleplay are not forwarding the adventure as you envision. It's in all of our best interests to ensure YOU are having fun!

@htech Ancestories and background do you have any information on those?

In D&D terms I would go with Tiefling and a criminal background to fit this Robin Hood / Figthing for the little guy theme

You can use the same names available for D&D/Forgotten Realms, since that's our setting. =)

The mechanics will be different, as we'll be using them from the Nimble rulebook. Here are a few. More will be available during session zero, depending on your interest:
[ +- ] Human
[ +- ] Tiefling

I see multi/dual class is a GM option (page 55) Will you consider it?
Sorry, not this time. Maybe in a future game. We're already going to "break" this game using a D&D setting and the Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure, so I don't want multiclassing as well. ;)

PS: But an Entertainer background is ok. =) You dont need the Songweaver special abilities to sing/dance/tell stories.

That background would translate into an Advantage for some tests. And, of course, it would give you the lore/roleplaying reasons to represent yourself as a bard anyway. ;)

Well, a rogue with bardic delusions, at least :)

Thanks!

I'm down with some food poisoning, so I'm not as active as I would like. I'll try to catch up

Thanks for the update! No worries at all — focus on getting better first. We’ll keep things flexible, and you can jump back in when you’re feeling up to it.

@kwll here is another example character sheet, now with some of the rules automated:
[ +- ] Nimble
Jan 9, 2026 9:12 am
@kwll for next steps, you can:

1. Choose 4 skill ranks
2. Submit the character for GM approval, and I’ll help you fill in the remaining fields and walk you through the available options.

If you have the rulebook, feel free to move ahead and complete the whole character. If not, no worries at all — I’m happy to help you through it step by step.

Just keep in mind that your "blindfolded" sword fighting works as a stage trick—you’re cheating by reading your partner or even using previously agreed cues and positioning. In real combat, fighting without sight still applies normally: you’ll take Disadvantage when fighting in darkness or while actually blinded.[/ooc]
Absolutely.

Also, regarding your style for text decoration, I try to use it in all games in which I partake, as I think it helps clarify a lot, although my red/green split may be different than yours, and sometimes I'll use another color if needed. Also, what I always do, is if I am delivberatly trying to whisper, or talk sotto voce, I will use cabin font. So if you see that, please assume I'm vocalizing, but trying to be discreet.

I just submitted Igrem, after picking 4 ranks in Arcana, Influence, Lore & Perception.

Great! For the next step, please choose a background for Igrem. You can create your own, use Nimble backgrounds, unusual or DnD lists as inspiration.

Start with the flavor and we can define the mechanics (what you will receive as a bonus/advantage) after that.
Jan 11, 2026 6:20 pm
Well, I clearly aimed Igrem as being a Wizard Apprentice, so I guess the Sage D&D background applies? I don't have the Nimble rules, except the basic ones, so I don't how it translates in this game.

@kwll I’ve added your spells to your character sheet. As a Mage at level 1, you know 6 cantrips from the Fire, Ice, and Lightning schools.

Right now you have 0 max Mana, so you can only cast cantrips — but you can cast all of them by spending just actions.

When you reach level 2, you’ll unlock your mana pool (equal to (INT × 3) + your level), and you will also gain access to tiered spells that do cost mana. I’ve placed a spoiler on your sheet so you can see what spells you’ll get then.
