I wasn't sure where to put this and I'm not sure if anyone can help me. As you all know, I'm new to everything. I have little knowledge, but thanks to you guys.... I'm quickly picking it up. I still have one problem. I SUCK AT PUTTING TOGETHER DESCENT STORYLINES, that makes sense!! I have a story I want to use, but I just cant get it to fit together probably. If anyone is willing to guide me, even a little, please... please... send me a PM. Thanks ;D

Give some of the Lore of the Lands a good look. Then, maybe, weave a story along those lines. Include something about your race and class, if you want. Some drama and conflict are always good reads. Try to make it believable; be careful not make anyone think your father is a dragon or that you are a god (My writing was a little misleading about Pandoriah to some). Don't drink too much while writing.
Good luck

since you're new to all of it, i recommend starting as simple as possible. like as a farmer's kid who wanted to come to the big city to become one of the guards. they tend to be rather sheltered, so they won't know all that much of the lore. they may have heard of a couple big cities, but not much detail about them. or they could possibly have gone to BG a few times to trade goods.
though, since you said you have a story you want to use, let us hear the main points in it. we can help much better if we know what all we have to work with.

According to your forum posts, Dark Dancer, the drow girl archer-pathfinder, praying to Elistraee, the second or third generation child, living on a surface would be not a bad choise. And from my own in game experiense - more your char is simmilar to you, better the RP, playing the evil drow archmage women, beeing by your own character a shild dwarf cleric of Tyr, struggling for justice - is very risky. You char, if he has nothing in common with you, will annoy you in a several hours, and on server you have to live for mounths. So be yorself but a drow;-)))))) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eilistraee

Hello, HD. I know you already took a look at this thread - www.theswordcoast.proboards89.com/index.cgi?board=characterbiography&action=display&thread=356Which was the one I was going to recommend for you ... So ... here's the thing. If you start off playing a character similar to the one that was mentioned above -the farmhand/farmer's child who decides one day to move away and become an adventurer - it could not be a better way for you to literally learn the way of the world through your character's eyes. If you (the player) don't know the lore of a certain area or monster or story, etc ... PERFECT! Neither does your simple farmgirl turned hero. All you have to do is ask the real questions you have through her/his mouth and personality. Doing this - I guarantee you will be on your way in no time. This could also be a good way to endear yourself (in-character) to a mentor (a more seasoned adventurer who sees the potential in you and is willing to take you under their wing). Perhaps some green-headed tree huggin hippie - if you can find someone like that around. ;P JK EIB. Other than this - remember - Have Fun! -Otomo Tetsuo PS oh and by the way ... don't believe that crap that they all say about it being Just A Game - hmph - whatta crock. ;D

Hmmmm... *rubs chin*
