Morien Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 In the most recent (as to time of the opening of this thread) interview ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4asgueZCvQ ), David Larkins mentioned that he loves hearing about people's picks for the pregen characters in the Starter Set and what appealed to them in the character. So I figured that might make for a nice Forum Thread, compiling people's experiences and thoughts. 🙂 Alas, since I have not played nor GMed the Starter Set yet, I cannot comment too much for myself. However, I did watch Mark Morrison's playthrough of the Sword Tournament part of the Starter Set (with his own spin on it) in Youtube, and I really liked the intensity that the player brought to 'Dame' Lynelle. Talk about having a chip on her shoulder! Poor Sir Asterius shivering in the Frozen Wastelands of the North (AKA London) was very amusing as well, that fish out of (warm) water culture shock. But I am sure that different players might have played them in different ways, so YPWV!  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balin Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 In our playthrough, Asterius was a stand out hit for his "stranger in a strange land" motif, but Cwenhild and surprisingly to me, Sir Clarion were also fun. I ran a full feast from Book of the Feasts for them following the events of the Sword Tournament, wherein Asterius' player (21F) decided they were smitten with Cwenhild. Cwenhild's player (24F) then proceeded to get drunk until they got to the point that they threw the "small Greek man" over their shoulder and walked off with him. It was one of the highlights of our evening.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlluminatedSeraph Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I've been greatly interested in Dame Tamura since the Starter Set drops. Bringing in the connection to Viviane early, being Pagan in an explicitly Roman way, tangling in the presence of Roman-hired mercenaries and people of color in Brittany... all extremely cool. Plus, you know, she's a tall buff lady with an Amazon grandmother. What's not to like about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udy Kumra Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Lynelle is my favorite only because Vengeful is my favorite trait. But Asterius is a close second—I love the fish out of water story, and I love the idea of playing a Greek/roman far from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark GMing the Tournament with Asterius as one of the player-characters was hilarious, as I already mentioned in my OP. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
