OK, I am being completely serious. I think that's one of the best opening hooks for a more traditional fantasy game that I've ever heard and I am totally stealing it. With that said, about how many people would you want to juggle in this group? There's really no built in upper limit with the job, since I simply have to expand the size of the Brothel to justify the extra bodyguards.

So, thoughts on how big a functioning Fantasy party should be, and who's interested in guarding some ladies as a starting career?

My thief has been known to frequent classier female establishments in the past, plus he loves fighting. If he could make money for his time...!

So much for that paladin thought...

Guess I've never played a Mercenary OCC before. Maybe a soldier?

Nah, I'll stick with the grittier options.

Having not played Palladium Fantasy since the switched editions, I'd be down.

Are you really going to run a game about protecting a brothel?

I'm really going to run a game where that's how the game begins.

Would characters have to be employed that way? Or could they just be... you know... around? Because if they're employed, that kind of limits class/race options.

I'm thinking about the specifics. It's going to be a high end Brothel -- with a lot of delivery options, especially to the elite of the Western Empire. I think anyone who wants to be something truly funky as a race or class will most likely be part of the acquisition team. I think the only real limit to this game is you're going to have to be of a selfish or evil alignment. Well, plus the basic limits of it being a lower powered game in general. No Lizard Mages or Dragon Hatchlings, etc.

I think everyone will have to be part of the staff, but there's a lot more to running any commercial entity than just having bouncers. You'll need mages and psychics to help protect the location and the clients and employees. I've never had a problem with evil Paladins, so that's not an issue for me to stock. Even an archer can be employable, especially in the field teams.

I've always wanted to play a medival Marv type character in a fantasy setting, sounds like this would be the perfect opportunity. So what ever would fit best for that, probably just a stock merc or men-at-arms. A beserker type class would be better, but I don't know if that exists in Palladium Fantasy (I haven't looked through my books in ages, but I believe that doesn't exist in PF)

Northern Hinterlands, the Barbarian class.

There's actually a Rifter for stuff like that...I'll check through the index and see which one it is.

Consider me interested. But I'll need to visit my other house and go into storage to get my books. I'll be thinking about a class/race until then. Possibly a Psi-Sensitive or whatever they're called?

Not the Mind Mage, but the one that focused almost entirely on sensitive category powers?

And that's awesome that you're interested by the way.

If you're really feeling stumped for a race (after going over your stuff), there's always a Changeling that's pretending.

Yeah, that could work. So for the time being, unless I change my mind for some reason, Changeling Psi-Sensitive.

Nod. Like the Robotech game, there won't be much activity from me for the next 10 days or so (I'm staff for a convention going on next weekend, so this week is a crunch for me) but once I'm back from that everything will start flaring up. Until then, everyone's just in development stage.
