Yay, I'm no longer the only female character in the party!
And just to make sure it get's posted somewhere, we're aiming
for 6:00-9:00 server time on Saturday Evening, correct?

Last night Elryn linked the PH 2 for the 4th edition. Reading
though it I came across the PC Background section. Reading
through it, i found that a BG gives you a +2 to skill rolls that
correspond to that BG. While it doesn't give exact BGs, it gives
questions that you can use to make the BG for your character.
There are(in PH order):

Leon character is almost completely setup. There is basically
the question of his melee weapons and the rolls that come with
it and he will have all the basic stuff.
The character background thing sounds interesting... if only
because it might help us out flesh out our characters
backgrounds a bit and I am all for that.
*Elryn makes a note to catch Star to discuss background*

So Elryn asked me to post that it's himself, Star, Leon, and
Death that are able to make it to tomorrow's game. Well, and me,
but I don't count for this list.

So PCK linked me something interesting for D&D called the Bag of
Mundane Items & Possibly Small Woodland Creatures. Basically
there are six different 'sets' of items and 100 different items
per set. So first you'd roll a d6 (and now I have a song in my
head) to determine which set you're in, and then you'd roll a
d100 to determine what you get, and then I'd determine how many
times it can be used. You could get something from a diamond, to
two rerolls on the table to used toilet paper to vomit (not
kidding, used toilet paper and vomit are in those lists). So
basically it's a game of chance. You could roll the dice and get
something amazing (like my personal favorite item that you can
get is a wolf puppy for completely unbiased reasons >.>) or you
could get something absolutely horrible. Or you could get
something mundane like unused shoelaces or five playing cards.
So my question to the entire party is would this be something
y'all are interested in doing? It wouldn't take all that long
for the party to roll a few dice and me to find it on the list
so it could easily be done before a game but I'm not going to do
it without at least majority being for it. I'm not going to
force people who don't want to take the chance to do so. (so if
four of six want to roll the dice and the other two don't, then
the four can take their chances and the two can just watch), but
if most of y'all don't want to, then I'm not going to take time
out of the game for one or two people to play the odds.
I don't need a decision any time soon, so take your time and
think about it. I have the lists available so I can find them at
any time. I will, however, keep them secret. I've told y'all
some of the good and some of the bad, but y'all ain't getting to
peek at the lists. :P

Sounds like it'll interesting, whatever comes up! I'm game for
giving it a try.

I have no problem making the rolls, whole thing sounds like fun
except for the vomit and used tp. But gotta have derp in among
the awesome.

To clarify, when is this list supposed to be used? If it is an
odd extra, it sounds like it could be interesting but if is
something that replaces the list for the quest loot... it sounds
like something that overall could give worse loot than the
effort given to acquire it.
Also, if we go ahead and do it, then the list should be
D&D/DFfied to suit the game accordingly. That means that toilet
paper has to be replaced with something else amongst other
things.

I can clarify the second part for you Elryn. This list is
already D&D-fied and is from a D&D forum. Toilet paper for
example has an interesting history and isn't just what we know
today. Toilet paper has been wool, coconut shells, hemp, moss,
extremely thin strips of leather that had no other use, and many
other things. You can rest assured this list has been D&D-fied.

It's too soon to say this only after having the first session,
but I'm going to have to drop out of further sessions for a few
weeks. My CPU decided to die yesterday, with no way to fix it
completely.
I'm getting a new one to have it replaced sometime soon.
