All right, I'll get to writing up some Iban and
Imperial backgrounds, as soon as I finish my take on the class
system... hmm.... I wonder, how'd you feel about converting some AD&D classes to background status, couldn't be too hard.... Anyway, just to give you some ideas what I've got planned, I always base my homebrew stuff on history, so my Imperial background is going to be based largely on a Roman citizen, and my Iban will be based on the Greek states before the dominance of the Athenian Empire. -------------------- Honorary Paladin of the Lawful Naughty If I seem to hate the d20 system, its only because I hate the system.

I know "The Big Book of Backgrouds not Listed in the
Wheel of Time Players Handbook". Na, that will never sell souds to catchy.
Seriously though, how about "The Un-official Handbook of New & Revised
Character Backgrounds". Serious yet apealing. ![]() -------------------- Spinner of the Great Wheel, Apprentice Lord of the

The Return of All Peoples? BBoSB (Big Book of Sasara's Backgrounds)? The overly long titled book that is really just a collection of player made and revised backgrounds? I kind like the third one myself ![]() -------------------- I was that which others did
not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the fact of eternal loneliness... Should I fall I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped... But most of all I have lived times others were to say were "Best Forgotten". At least some day I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was... A United States Marine. |

I think you're on the right track with the third one,
but how about making a couple of minor changes... "The Extaordinarily Exessively Long Titled Book of Several Revised and New Backgrounds for the Wheel of Time Role Playing Game, Which Was Compiled Especially for Ease of Locating Obscure and/or Minor Backgrounds; Which Have Been Mentioned in the Novels, But Were Not Included in the Officially Licenced Wheel of Time Role Playing Game Books or Net Material" Now THAT has a nice ring to it.

nah...if you named it for me then people would think I'd written them all...I'm a hyper-writer an all...but not that hyper! Anyway...how about we be serious... "Return of All Peoples" at least sounds halfway serious ![]() --------------------

Seriously, The Book of Beginings does sound
good...and BoB would be a very simple abreviation. I like it.

Sa'sara how about helping a fellow out by doing a
full background for Shadoweve characters? IT would greatly enchance the
Threads of the Pattern Project. I have been thinking about doing one myself but I am just so bloody flaming busy.

question: did this backgrounds net book ever go
anywhere? Are people still interested in it, can I contribute. With, of
course, the borderland and midland backgrounds that I just seperated and
wrote up. I'd love to see something like this happen...its a great idea. I
know that there all of Bekah's backgrounds are up on Call of the Horn, but
it would be great to see all the backgrounds from the netbooks and her,
and others combined into one place, with the added background feats that
different people have come up with. Plus, another question: has anybody thought about a group of pool feats, that any background could draw from. Because my players are always complaining: my character wouldn't have any of these background feats, and I generally end up letting them take another one from another background that they could justify by their own character developement (like letting my Ebou Dari noble take wealthy). A thought anyways, I dont know what these feats would actually be. ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

the abreviation for it would be (alphabet) but I would try these instead People of the Wheel (PoW) or Backgrounds and Region expansion (BaRe) -------------------- ![]() | ||
