The town of Verdigris is the finest city on the island continent of Eleri, a shining-green jewel of the empire. It’s ruled by the founder of the city, Entrócenite the Eternal, an ancient emerald dragon. The Emeralden Emperor is the last of his kind but continues to watch over the city and share the gift of magic with the guilds of Verdigres.
This city is full of stories, but this one starts with a group of young newsies. This summer your group of friends has been lucky enough to get a job delivering newspapers for your neighborhood. But times they are a changing, and when a wizard-run company that delivers by crystalline construct opens up across the street -- your little operation just can’t keep up.
If you and your friends don’t do something quick, your source of spending money is about to disappear.
This game will be great if you like Little Rascals, The Sandlot, The Goonies, etc... Players should build characters ahead.
Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation.
Any officially published content for classes, feats, etc is fine. Permanent flying features excluded. Non-licensed content needs to be run by me, (screenshot is probably fine) just don’t do it the night before the game.
Forbidden Ancenstries: Aasimar, Centaur, Changeling, Dragonborne, Elves (all), Fairy, Ginazi, Gith(zerai), Minotaur, Plasmoid, Satyr, Shifter, Thri-kreen, Triton.
Your character needs to be a child working a newsie and/or newspaper delivery. You live in one of the poorer districts of the city, and this job should be important to you in some way.
You have 30g to purchase any armor, standard weapon, or standard adventuring equipment you want during character creation. Any gold not spent at creation cannot be kept in your inventory.
For spellcasters: if the spell components you need have no price, assume that you have them. Otherwise, you must factor this into your 30g to spend.
If you have any backstory notes, please let me know. Please send me a copy of (or link to) your character sheet at least 2 days before we play. "
