"Ruby" a hin with a knack for growing things in the dirt, watching the clouds, and finding things buried in dirt, brought a load of discovered Rubies in to gamble at the Lucky Ferret card table.
Happily, slowly lost all her gems to punks at the gaming table. Punks that actually turned out to be right decent .. well.. good natured folks that she now calls friends.

Sebo Nackle
This somewhat unassuming gnome has recently moved from his rooms in Norwick up to Peltarch. He styles himself a history buff but seems most confused over events and history. If any should question him he gives long rambling answers that seem to lead nowhere. He dresses most often in rogue outfits and sometimes forgets that he can cast spells, using a crossbow with disastrous results. He is very studious and seems to have a firm grasp on magic, but his minds constantly jumps all over leaving himself and most others confused.

Olithir Kelerandri
An elf raised in Peltarch and employed as a part-time scribe in the Library. His nature is somewhat dry and serious.As part of his other studies he's been encouraged to 'get out a bit more' as a Novice priest - Which has led him to regular gambling at the Ferret, though his carousing needs a bit of work. He plays cards, and dice games, but doesn't play the slots, fearing they're rigged somehow.
As an adventurer, he's cautious and prefers blessing others, and watching from the rear rank with a bow. That said, he's handy enough to protect other archers with sword and shield, if need be.

First minor adventure under our belt. Plug went to get laid in the Dwarven Stronghold and his lady friend told him he had "werts on 'is pecker". So after seeing the very reluctant priestess of Chauntea, he was told that he needed to 'smear sum goblin drink on eet'. Bawk joined him in hunting down some goblin gook. Once back to the priestess, everything was well in hand, and after calming this eruption of dwerf werts, he was able to go back to the Stronghold. So it all worked out 'in the end'.

Cara Benson
A rather gaudy person of indeterminate gender they enjoy others company. Out of all of them though, Cara seems to always have the worst luck. Tripping, losing bets, ever the fool.

@karion_silverbow We'll call you Bawk, ya little chicken shit!

John Smith (obviously an alias) Human Rogue/Cowardly Swashbuckling Sneak Gambler Type... A Pretty-boy, Ladies' Man who can bluff his way out of trouble and into bed chambers. Often shies away from a fight but will take pop shots at the enemy if necessary... Has been known to cheat on occasion... Connoisseur of the finer things in life including but not limited to women and wine. Wields dual daggers but mostly uses throwing knives. Favorite games include darts, blackjack, and 3 dragon ante (in that order). He has, pretty much, adopted Plug as his best friend and body guard. He even claims to be the one who gave Plug his nickname.

Meeting tonight at around 7:30p EST! If you are rolling a character! DO IT! : )
Out typical starting place will be at The Lucky Ferret. Our home away from home and general hang-out. All of us have a bit of a gambling bug... so it makes sense. If you have a moment, give a sentence or two about something you would be known for by the others in the group, and maybe a nick name you have earned from the others. I'll start:
Dozer "Plug" Mantleborne. Originally from a town on the Golden Way in the Wastelands near the Lake of Mists that he waxes poetic about all the time. Although everyone in the group tries, you've never been able to get Plug angry. He earned the nickname Plug by causing an epic sewer backup with one of his legendary hangover dumps. He now cuts out the middleman and when in Peltarch, goes straight into the sewers to drop a dook.

@Andelas You don't have to DM bud. I've never gotten to play with you as a player... I don't think. I didn't plan on this being a group that would require DMs to run with. So, only DM if you want to. Otherwise, a cleric would be totally welcome. I'll add you in as a player and whichever way you turn is great. Cheers!

I made a cleric of Torm but figured i'd DM instead...................

@sciolist - So long as that elf could fit in to the background, I'm good with it. Basically, this will be like a poker night with the guys. So when you want to take off the mantle of Corellon for a bit, you go hang out with your buds and toss a couple back. That would mean you likely live(d) in Peltarch as the group initially met at a neighborhood gambling den/tavern.
@Darkspyr - I don't figure that the entire group will be meeting up all the time, which is why I am looking 8-10 folks... so that we know we'll get at least 4-5 each Monday and Wednesday. So heck yeah. Build a character or reserve a character that will stay within a few levels of the rest of the group.
P.S. I am setting up this group so that there really isn't a leader. Each group member will have opportunity to have the group help them accomplish something. Hopefully after it's set up, it'll be largely self-driving.
Will likely have a forum group eventually set up so that the group can post up ideas for the next thing to throw ourselves at... and a resource for DMs to work something up if they see any of our ideas as interesting.

It looks like you have a good team going Kerby. I have a gnome wizard, level 6 or 7 if you would want to add them. I actually have a bit of everything in the 5-7 range. If you have enough then leave me out, since i am late in jumping in. I thought I would offer though.
Darspyr (login CryingChild) - Gnome Wizard.

@kerby - How are you with elves in your background? I had an idea for a Corellon cleric, Archer.
-
Ok, looks like so far we have three that can tank, a scout/ranged, and two buffer/healer. That's two fighters, a paladin, a ranger, a bard and a cleric.
Still have three that posted I am unsure of their roles and classes/races/concepts. @Karion_Silverbow @Andelas @sciolist Could likely use an arcanist, another healer and another ranged of some kind.
-
I can play a tank... I actually think I build one for S&G, only logged in enough to level him up. Human fighter. I actually think he was designed to be weapon master, but im sure it will work, either way. If i make another instead it will most like be human fighter.
-
I could go Rogue if that works for you, I'd like to play one that sticks and have high melee damage. I'm also game for tanking if its needed.Never mind was brainstorming, I'm in as a Paladin, working on god to fit the concept. Will be Tank / Offtank.
-
I'm going to be playing a human bard that specializes in buffing with a bit of healing on the side.

@kerby
There are no royal houses, but there are some nobles, and there are still the Peltarch Aristocracy. There are guilds as well, and the ones in the Docks have continued their chicanery. The WaveBreakers definitely still exist, as do others

BACKGROUND
We are gaming buddies. Happen to frequent the same gambling den and hit it off when there was a barroom brawl. We all defended our card table, and it has been 'ours' ever since. Over the years, we've found it to be our escape from our other responsibilities.
So when one of you suggested that we use the excuse to get away from our wives/families/businesses/duties/etc... you decided to expand 'game night'. At first it was, we all would head out to a vacation cabin one of you had built for get-aways with their family, (outside the city walls a bit into the Giantspires) to drink and play cards and dice over for a couple days. It then turned into week long 'hunting trips' with your buddies.
The group now takes turns recommending the next thing to cross of their 'bucket list'. We could also have a member of the group that is poor with a large family to feed... so this is also a moonlighting situation for him. Maybe the group could even be referred to as: THE MOONLIGHTERS!
Likely be easier if we all RPed guys for this one. Alignment, is open to all good and neutrals. Neutral evil would be dicey, unless it was played as simply a selfish dick instead of a malignant force of evil. The strife in the group should be what you would typically find between mates on the same sports team... not what you'd find between a Satanist and a Christian.
That said, this is a social group. Loners wouldn't go out for this kind of group bonding in the first place. Any other personalities would be fun. The more variety, the more interesting the dynamic will be. But basically we'll start out with everyone is looking to gets some thrills and fun out of this.
