    Any chance of this becoming Burning Wheel - Sundays for at least a bit after the wedding? I still want to try out the system properly, but I'm not sure what Xenith's schedule is like on Sundays.

    So here's my (very) basic concept for the character. He's a lawman, come to Halcyon Springs in search of the outlaw Jack Dunn, a train robber who escaped the noose on a technicality.

    Two of his beliefs (these aren't finished, I don't have them quite specific enough with an intended course of immediate action).

    The Law is the only thing that separates us from the savages. I will find proof of Jack Dunn's guilt and bring him to justice.

    The Law has already failed to bring Jack Dunn to justice. I will see him pay for his crimes, no matter what it takes.

    I especially like that because it provides a good reason why Andrew (settled on a name, Andrew Sliven) wouldn't just grab Jack immediately, it would give Jack an awesome opportunity to smirk in his face, and it would set the whole congregation against him (him being Andrew). He has a congregation, right?

    Oh he totally has a congregation. They are pretty devout too. Plus, Sticks and Bedwich would totally help Andrew fuck Levi over.

    I don't think that Jonas would have a problem with fucking him over, either.

    Remind me to look over Levi's lifepaths to see if there's somewhere I can fit that in.

    Also, we'll probably have to take some time to workshop your character some and get you up to speed on what's going on in the campaign. Love to have you aboard, though! I think once you play, especially with Artha and the advancement mechanic, you'll really like it.

    I'm trying to keep my gaming group alive, but it looks like it is dissolving (which fucks me up seeing as I was using them to playtest my RPG). I would like to watch the Burning Wheel phenomenon, if not play.

    Also, Jack Dunn = Awesome name. I love that name.

    And Levi shouts "I'VE SEEN THE PATH OF EVIL, THE WAY OF SIN. THE LORD ZOLTEC FOUND THE ROT WITH." Lowering his voice to a barely a whisper "and the lord saw in me the faint flicker of faith, like a candle whose wick was drawing near its end, but still burned softly." back to shouting "AND THE LORD BELLOWED THOSE FLAMES UNTIL THEY TURNED INTO A BONFIRE. NOW I KNOW THE EVIL IN YOUR HEARTS FOR I HAVE SEEN IT TO AND JUST LIKE MY RIGHT HAND ESTHER, I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY DIFFERENT NAMES, BEEN TEMPTED BY LIFE'S SWEET FRUIT, BUT NOW I STAND BEFORE YOU, LEVI, HIGH PRIEST OF ZOLTEC, AND HIS RIGHTEOUS FIRE BURNS IN MY BLOOD, AS IT WILL IN YOURS... LAWMAN!"

    If anything it should have actually showed how much I cared by coming up with such and inventive way of insulting you! I think I spent a good 10 minutes (at work) trying to pick just the right nuance. I had to weigh the following factors:

    1. Karate
    2. The fact that you are a Deadwood Fan...and I can get away with using the 'C' word...which I never get to use...'cause its too mean
    3. Coming late to the thread I had to go over the top a little
    4. A comedic zinger at the end

    I thought it pulled together quite nicely, but if you want I can just call you a douche bag.

    Raised your hackles? My hackles are done risen. Okay, kill the fucking priest if you like, but don't undo his work. Esther was Levi's salvation. She was converted to the belief without being a nutjob herself. While Levi is the fire that burns bright and dies, Eshter is the embers that remain to warm the faith.

    It just goes to show I should be up there more so I could *make* this shit happen.

    Because I don't feel like making a new thread, posting generic Burning Wheel questions here.

    Are goblins a feasible player race? Playing Warhammer has given me an itch to play a gobbo.

    There are goblins in the Orc lifepaths. However, keep in mind that the character stocks in BW are very much based on Tolkein, so it may not be exactly what you have in mind for your concept - although Orcs in BW are super fucking awesome.

    Now, if you're looking for a direct Warhammer analogy, we may be able to monster-burn a WH style goblin. It's a more involved process, but it can be done if the Orc Lifepaths don't work for you.

    I'd reccomend looking at the lifepaths first. It might be an easier build. Also, I know nothing about the Warhammer universe.

    I suspect it would also be fairly easy to take whatever life paths fit the character, regardless of whether they're orc/goblin specific, and just say they're for goblins.
