Very excited to go forward on this. Let's plan on initiating this Monday, December 7 at 18:00 GMT and if folks cannot make that then 9:00pm US Central Time on Sunday, December 13. Please show up in the Nexus with a level 1 human commoner and with a simple RP template/mission in mind, if you cannot make that time, please post here and I'll try figure out an alternative time as well, but no guarantees as my schedule is just very hectic the next few weeks.//
Does it have to be level 1? I have a human commoner I've already RP'd a bit and he's level three from passive EXP.
//No, only human level 1 commoners will be acceptable in this trial program as said. Keeping simplicity here to start off.//

So I guess with a DM helping things can just get even more interesting!
//As long as there is no metagaming or godmoding of NPCs or in world assets or of your player character's sheet outside the confines of the DM overviewed initiative in this thread, there's nothing wrong with playerside plot making in general when a DM is entirely not involved (in fact the DM Team encourages it) and it for sure can be very productive for RP.//

I did say I was joking... :c

Edit:

I'm stuck on Kwalu, lv.1 Human Chult Commoner or Candice, The Manyshelve's Smitten Fangirl

I'm very pleased to see that this initiative appears well received and founded. It heartens me to hear that there is interest in providing the backdrop of normality from which adventuring necessarily departs.
While unfortunately I neither was nor am possessing in the free time or attention to commit to the current cycle, perhaps I might find it possible to participate in a future iteration. In the mean time, I look forwards to hearing of the various tales of the common folk the next time my transient baker comes through.

//All, some bad news. I need to push my time for this today back to 20:00 GMT (two hours later than original time). I already was pushing it being free for 18:00 GMT given a very busy week IRL, so sorry I have to do this. I will see you all then for those that can make it today.//

After a spirited sales pitch, one Vynn Kolloss managed to sell Iados Kaaris 1000 shares of stock in the Sword Coast Asset Management firm for 200 gold. The recipient was regaled with a spirited explanation in how the SCAM foundation used its capital to fund growth in various enterprises in exchange for a stake in their businesses. The man was then assured he would receive a return on investment proportional to his share in the company along with written updates on the status of those investments, provided on a tri-quarterly, post-apocryphal basis with semiannual annuities added for pre-taxation embellishments. All in all, it was a very sound investment with an educated and savvy businessman. Iados was given a "stock certificate" drawn up very carefully by a tenuously literate individual who, for their use of complicated language, was most certainly not in possession of a dictionary. Most magnanimous, Iados instructed the reputable businessman to anonymously forward his returns directly to the Temple of Ilmater in Baldur's Gate. The new business partner was encouraged to refer his wealthy and discerning friends in exchange for a 10% referral bonus in SCAM company stock.

The following afternoon, the same stall appeared in the same corner of the docks, with a new sign beside it, reading "Whimsical Wonders Etc Store". Arrayed across the stall's table are a variety of odd trinkets, unusual potions, unidentifiable meats, and a benign looking smithing hammer. Unfortunately, Vynn's customers are less than impressed by his promises of rare steaks previously available only to Calimshan royalty, potions of Illithid origin for love and genius, or rare forging hammers of ancient elven power. Skepticism (and perhaps good judgment) steered his customers away without fail, and the man packed away his wares before wandering off towards one of the docks' many seedy taverns.

//Thanks for the recap! Good work generating some RP! Excited to read the others when folks get to some RPing with their concepts!//

It's been two days and I still haven't been contacted or any post updates?

Sorry I'm a bit lost? I mean, I was credited as the forerunner but I feel the most out of touch with this event at the moment. xD

Can I get an update please, especially for everyone else? Did I miss the event? What happened? No real evidence here.
