Trader Captain
Can’t stop creating characters…
This character/miniature was originally slated for use in Five Parsecs from Home (and may still be) but I decided to create a merchant vessel for Captain’s Log, in the same vein as Harry Mudd/Cyrano Jones/Thadiun Okona.
I’m also using the other two character/miniatures that I created for that crew. along with the ship, the Infineon Beetle.
We’ll get to this one eventually, as I always say.

Moving Right Along
At glacial pace, we’re getting to the first scene/encounter in the currently untitled adventure featuring Raised By Minotaurs.
I pulled out a deck of Quest Deck cards from Kickstarter, a pack called ‘Notice Board’. Since I had previously stated that RBM came into town to look for a job as a monster hunter, I figured he found a notice board to find work.
I drew 4 cards and picked one that I figured this character would choose.
So we’ll get to this encounter soon.

As an aside, I ended up describing this character as 6’8″, 250 lbs.
Looking around the web for a similar real person, I found that I had made a more muscular Harrison Barnes (also 6’8″) of the Sacramento Kings.

The Story Begins…
With some suggestions from Nelson, I’ve managed to start off on my first trek into the Mythic Game Master Emulator.
He first suggested rolling a die to determine what system to use, but I decided to start with the system that I’m most familiar with, D&D 5th Edition.
But what character should I use?
Nelson then suggested rolling a die for that choice, so I assigned a number to ten level 1 characters that I had created in D&D Beyond, and rolled a 3.
BEHOLD, YOUR NEW HERO!
Raised By Minotaurs, level 1 human Barbarian.
This one will be interesting to play from his description.
My initial adventure description rolls were “attain’ and ‘information’, so I’m gonna go with RBM entering town, looking for a job as a monster hunter.

System: Dragonbane
This one was a tough choice because of the numerous fantasy RPG settings that are available to play.
It was a Kickstarter, so that kinda played into my decision.
In the end, it’s the simple fact that I can play a duck (Mallard) character in this system that made me decided on this one.

Covert Ops Background
System: Covert Ops
This one is still early in the planning stages. Either an agent or team of agents, rookies or experienced, doing spy stuff.
I’m still not sure if I’m placing the setting in the 1960s, the 1980s, or present day.
And this will probably be the first time that I role play Jake Banner, a character I’ve had rattling around my brain since I was in high school.

First Character
I decided to copy this sheet here,since this is the more appropriate place.
I’m still reading through the rule book for this system, so hopefully I get this (or one of the other solo games) underway fairly soon.
I did roll a starting adventure for this character a month or so ago, but decided to start fresh once the rule book has been read and understood.
Besides, from that initial adventure description, it sounded too much like the beginning of Star Trek Voyager.
