<ChrisAsmadi> Sure, I guess
<DeadNinja> Okay. Here goes.
<ChrisAsmadi> Kay.
<DeadNinja> If you want to be free of sexual and related harrassment by NPCs, play a female character.
<ChrisAsmadi> >_>
<DeadNinja> It pays to have high fortitude, will, grapple.
<ChrisAsmadi> So basically, be survivable?
<DeadNinja> 99% of the population of Jarlsheim are Too Stupid To Live. Be aware of this, nod and smile.
<ChrisAsmadi> I see.
<DeadNinja> ChrisAsmadi: Yes. The game tends to be hellishly ambarassing.
<ChrisAsmadi> I see.
<DeadNinja> Run away from anyone having anything to do with any of the following: inventions, gnomes, dwarf bars, druids, clergy of any kind.
<ChrisAsmadi> I can understand the gnome part.
<DeadNinja> It's all related. Trust me.
<ChrisAsmadi> I see.
<DeadNinja> Do NOT drink anything without being ABSOLUTELY sure it is safe. Purify Food and Drink, and Dispel Magic first, if you can.
<DeadNinja> Avoid anyone with a bad Russian accent.
<ChrisAsmadi> Ring of Sustenance?
<DeadNinja> They'll either hug you into unconsciousness, or make you their gimp for the night.
<DeadNinja> Ring of Sustenance is a prudent option, yes.
<DeadNinja> Particularly bad cases of moronicisity are named Jebediah and Emphraim.
<DeadNinja> It is FUTILE to reason with them.
<ChrisAsmadi> So smash them in the face with something heavy?
<DeadNinja> Yes. Do not kill them, because they're GMPCs.
<ChrisAsmadi> So get a sap?
<DeadNinja> Expect to be put in a cage if you ever visit the Zoo.
<ChrisAsmadi> So an admantium sword as well?
* DeadNinja nods.
<DeadNinja> There is a hazing tradition in this game.
<ChrisAsmadi> Oh?
<DeadNinja> On the first session, you get to fight Jebediah, the bouncer for the Cloak and Dagger (base of operations for the crew).
<ChrisAsmadi> I see.
<DeadNinja> Winning is not necessary. It is necessary to impress upon the other players that you're an okay person.
<ChrisAsmadi> Since this is a norse setting, I'm tempted to be a Crusader devoted to Odin, wielding a greatclub or maul.
<DeadNinja> The setting in Victorian England.
<DeadNinja> Sort of.
<ChrisAsmadi> Oh.
<DeadNinja> Don't make oriental characters. Einar doesn't like them much.
<ChrisAsmadi> So no big barbarian types with a large beard?
<DeadNinja> Oh, sure.
<DeadNinja> You'll fit right in.
<DeadNinja> Mind the restriction that you can't be Lawful.
<ChrisAsmadi> That doesn't matter.
<ChrisAsmadi> I can't play lawful for shit anyway.
<DeadNinja> Nothing makes sense. This is the primary reason I'm avoiding Einar like the plague. The other players are okay... I'll tell you a bit about people you'll most likely run into.
<DeadNinja> TheDagda plays Moira, a cleric of Wyrde Scyence. Crazy, but mostly harmless unless you're a jerk or NPC.
<DeadNinja> Gabriel_Mobius plays Rurik, dwarven pirate. Sensible.
<ChrisAsmadi> ...A cleric. Of Science?
<DeadNinja> Wyrde Scyence. JoseB and his tripedal space chicken.
<DeadNinja> Don't ask.
<DeadNinja> There's a page on the wiki dedicated to the religion.
<ChrisAsmadi> Ok, so crazy cleric and a bearded pirate
<ChrisAsmadi> Sounds nuts so far.
<DeadNinja> Attilla plays Aramil, elven hexblade. He's the owner of the bar. Likes to pick on Jebediah. Doesn't care for shit who wins, though.
<ChrisAsmadi> Heh.
<DeadNinja> ((He's got a elven ranger cohort named Lia.))
<ChrisAsmadi> Is she a barmade?
<ChrisAsmadi> *barmaid?
<DeadNinja> No. Bartender's an NPC.
<ChrisAsmadi> Ah.
<DeadNinja> Aramil and Lia shag in their quarters, most of the time.
<ChrisAsmadi> Heh.
<DeadNinja> ilovefire plays The Coot, a paladin type. Who is blind. And has been reincarnated into a half-giant were-platypus.
<ChrisAsmadi> >_>
<DeadNinja> The Coot has a binder cohort named Eric. Insane, but harmless.
<ChrisAsmadi> Heh.
<DeadNinja> Alien plays Waelun, drow druid. Sanest of the bunch, and most easy-going.
<ChrisAsmadi> ...drow? >_>
<ChrisAsmadi> Does he wield scimitars?
<DeadNinja> Nope.
<ChrisAsmadi> Ah.
<DeadNinja> Also, do not expect any sort of drama. This game is completely devoid of anything remotely resembling seriousness.
<ChrisAsmadi> Yeah, I'm getting more and more tempted to be a norse chieftan.
