Fantasy stories are always good. :cool:

There aren't many sci-fi stories around here (actually none I think except for Chanak's Kyrilon Z54) though so that could be a new thing for the writers of Gamebanshee.

I don't think I've ever seen a "real world" story here so but I don't know if many people would want to participate in that sort of tale.

No love stories here either although I seriously doubt that'd fly well.

Caim, I mean, feel really free to help me out on The tutors... I'd be glad to have some english speaker helping me, for sure. What do you thing should happen next?

My original Idea is to relate this sage with Irenicus... And I think I'll do that soon, but Centauri is really taking my time, and I love that story, cause I've wrote it down years ago in portuguese, and I spend some time writing it down again, by heart, here.

So, why dont you post bout what you like to write?

Hey people, this is a very good idea to create a story together! Don't give up on it!

My sugesstions are:
- It should take place in the world we all know very well, just as Antonio started!
- It's not really good to stick to the Bhaalspawn-things since there are many of us and we all should join as individual characters. And having that many Bhaalspawn would make the story fuzzy :)
- Let's say we're a party gathered in Candlekeep for some reason (ideas welcome :) ), and let Imoen bear the heritage of the Lord of Murder. See how she grows up with this burden and turns into a responsible, thoughtful and experienced rogue and still keeps her charming attitude.
- Once we find out why we're here, we can start the story and add our parts!

What do you say?

Brynn, fire away. I wanna continue, but I'm kinda busy at my job to actually think on a good history.

I'd be glad if you help me to continue this "alternate beggining".

OK! :) The problem is that I'm not very good at making up main storylines, I mean I can imagine dialogues, tavern discussions, but can't really think what would make a good backbone for all...

I only have dumb conecptions, like we're a group summonded by Gorion in order to take Imoen from here to there, to introduce her to Sarevok and show her her true natrue and heritage, and that journey would take some time and involve some bloody battles as well. But that's really boring, I guess, I'm sure any of you could come up with a much better idea :)

Well, I intend to make him run into Irenicus, and return to Candlekeep, where he will be away from the child but guiding the tutors on how and what to teach him. Not to mention he will deliver Elminster letter to Gorion... and stuff like bar talk in Beregost, Amn, and other stuff...

By "him" you mean your character?

[QUOTE=Brynn]By "him" you mean your character?[/QUOTE]

Yes, but he is only my character... I dont want to have my personal main as Thethtoril, nor one of the famous from Candlekeep. I want him lurking, hiding in shadows. So I designed one character to interact with those people, and they (the others) will act like I've seen them acting on the game. Well, thats my Idea, what do you think?

Great! This way they we all will be in the same situation, I mean none of us will be too much of an authority, that's good (not that I would mind that, though. If anyone wants to write e.g. Gorion, that's fine with me :) )

What char do you instruct, anyway? Mine's a mage.

BTW, only the two of us are interested, or are there others eager to join? (Well, I can imagine new chars showing up later in the story, I don't think that woul dbe a problem)

I might join in, if I have time. Just one question, though; Do we make up a character whose a Bhaalspawn, or who isn't? How's the whole character thing going to work?

Well, I thought we could leave the Bhaalpawn role to Imoen, since it would be too complicated with so many Bhaal-children around :) I suggest that we all should be adventurers.

ill be happy to give it a shot with you guys if you would like me too

Well, till now nobody actually posted anything there except for me... and I'd like any of you to do that...

Welcome aboard, Dash!

posted where, luis? Did you make a thread for it? If so, can you tell me the thread name? I'd like to get a view of it so I can think about what I'll post. :D

WB, right here! This is the thread for it! So if you have sg on your mind, share it with us here!

Dash, nice to see you :) Gorion is actually the only person we can trust, so it's not likely he will betray Imoen. (In the original story he is the one that saves Imoen and the player char from Bhaal, and raises them up). I don't know much about the other elders, though, so we'll need Luis to tells us more about them.

I'm actually working on the very beginning from my char's point of view, so if nobody comes up with anything I'll post it sooner or later (you'd better get working, then to prevent this :D )

Lol

What about a Watcher? Perhaps he'd be suspicious of why Gorion brought Imoen to Candlekeep and in his paranoia he'd be in the middle of investigating them when he finds that they're leaving to the Friendly Arm Inn. Of course he'd follow them until he finds that she's a Bhaalspawn, which would lead to him wanting to kill her. But he can't of course and he ends up maybe saving her life at a certain point (he'd have a chance to kill her then, but he wouldn't follow through). Then he'd join the party.

Anyone want to make a character that falls in love with Imoen? ;) :D

I wouldn't mind joining in as well. However, a story starting in BG I is quite hard in my opinion. Well, it's quite hard for me at least, since I've only played BG ones. And that little journey through BG I was a very quick journey. Maybe it's possible to have Immie set off from Candlekeep and have her travel towards Athkatla, without the Saravok and Bhaalspawn ingredients from BG I??
And while she journey's towards Athkatla some of us can join in with their own characters. Thoughts??

@Z: How about you take that nice role? :p

I've got an idea for my character. All I have to do now is think of what they'll do.
