The smith really shouldn't have the armor and weapons covered though. I'm content with finding another profession, but just to clear some things up pertaining to blacksmiths and armorers; blacksmiths typically craft/forge/make everyday things for everyone, and since this is a new hold and still growing, I feel like the smith would have a lot on his hands, and very little time for so much as a simple knife, seeing as how the proper crafting of a sword, etc can take several days for just one. Like I said though, I'm fine with finding something else. How about a woodworker? To give an example, he could make everything from rocking chairs to simple bows to a beautifully carved children's toy.

Masons and carpenters have that covered, you'll have to come up with something else there as well. Did you read the original post of the OOC-thread? It has a list of jobs that we absolutely don't need more of, in addition to some jobs that are already covered. There's talk of an illegal underground arena, pitting animals vs animals as well as men and mer against animals and eachother. That is potentially a very fun and wide character to RP, if you feel like being a bad guy.

I saw that, but from what I've been reading in the RP threads, they have very little to no interaction. Also, with the list you have in the first post, there's precious little that one could do, haha. There is the possibility of a bard, but I don't think I would do too well with that.

you could be a candlemaker how else do we light our houses during the dark evenings ?

Ahem, Daroska's new character has that covered if I've understood it right..

[Hella Beast]

What about a chef for the Jarl like the Gourmet, or a tax collector. People would really not like you then, or an accountant for the Jarl ?

Or an investigator liek in the novels? Forgot what exactky it was called.

A steward I think was still avaiable.

Ha, I actually like the tax collector one, and it would kind of fit since my character feels like a serious kind of guy.

The accountant is the writer role. Since Vincent wanted the Jarl to run nearly everything by himself, the role of an accountant / writer / scribe is going to be very, very small. Thus it's more fitting as a "by the way, small character" like it is now, instead of having someone actually role-play it seriously and full-time.

As for the gourmet, I'm not sure how much action he'd see either. Definitely not against the idea. It means farmers and hunters will have someone to sell their products to (in addition to the innkeeper).

As for tax collector.. Since Valton doesn't have any taxes that need to be collected, it's a waisted role.


Edit: Try to edit your posts instead of posting many in a row, it clutters up the thread.

Anyways, the steward is something Vincent didn't want.

An inspector calls? Inspector morse? Sherlock holmes? Poirot? Mrs marple? plus a few more:
Dirk gentley?
Adrian Monk?
Thomas "Tom" Barnaby?
Jim taggart?
Columbo?
Christopher Foyle?

Can I Have a Inspector character Gorbad or Vincent?

[Darrell Fawcett]

Maybe a retired adventurer looking to settle down, a politician from the Elder COuncil looking to establish a council of his own to lead Valton politically. I am brainsrtorming sorry.

How would an orphanage work I doubt people want to RP as orphans but thats just my opinion.

[Britta Gronkowski]

Wait, what's happened to the horse????? I will take care of it, if needed. (shocking, right?) Is it Frost (the horse from the bandit attack a while ago) or somepony else?
Whatever happened to Frost? Is Annika still taking care of him?

It was more of a joke. A little humor to break up my brainstorming session

That is actually a good idea.

I think Valton should focus on the stormcloak and imperial legion relationship, without involving the elder council to it.

Who exactly would this inspector work for? The Jarl isn't a person who would hire someone like that.

Frost is OK, he's on the back side of the shop. It's another horse. The horse on the ground in front of Hela's Folly was wounded, but needs some rest now. Not to worry

Preferably you shouldn't post humor posts unless they contain something serious as well. The ideal situation is to edit your post instead of posting a new one for every sentence you make.

Thank you for the good idea appraisal.

I can set the scene A man is at riften hall of the dead before him is a young girl burnt inside out after drinking some strong Nightshade brandy the girl has kept a diary and the clues point that this wasnt suicide the murderer has fled to VALTON.

...This idea I really, really don't like. That's like introducing an investigator just for the sake of investigating, instead of solving actual problems. Besides, any character can do investigations, like Leandra is doing right now.

[Vahpie]

Firstly who is frost?

Secondly We have stables why not a horse breeder?

The horse is one of mine that was attacked by the wolves outside of town. I'm going to take them to the stables once i get clearence from the Jarl.

[Donatus Uwasomba]

I will be the breeder.

Hrmm... Dog breeder could work. Let me think on that for a little while.

I Like an inspector calls too much...

But anyway the Inspector or ye old detective is on the track of a murderer or Itan-rus brother there linked it to a person soon to come.

Excellent give me the name of the culprit who hath commited this crime so I can use it.


Bout the horse breeder how would that be explained to the jarl and In skyrim horses are for strength Horse breeding usually consits of breeding for racing so the character would have to have his/her business in hammerfell.

[Jack Moves]

I wanted to know what you guys think about limiting new sign ups. I'm usually quite active but I've been a little more busy than usual lately and boy, do I feel overwhelmed. I've been struggling to catch up lately and even though I can do it, I can tell others are having trouble keeping up, not taking notice of where other characters are and whatnot. I fear this RP is growing a little too much for its own good, I mean, there's only so much you can read during your free time.

I'm curious about how you guys feel about that.

Smig, How big would you say your barn is? and are the animals kept somewhat enclosed, or do they roam the full barnhouse as one open space? I'm hoping it's somewhat pen-style otherwise Roymunds probably stood on half a dozen chicken eggs and sat on Henry.

Yep, I'm imagining pens but I also imagine a lot of open space for them to roam freely. The size should be smaller than your usual barn, I guess.

The only problem I see with a breeder is that it will infringe on my business. I have to breed horses as well to sustain a living. My CS gives a backround of this business. Also, i can only import so many horses due to monetary concerns. Cheaper to breed and raise the horses myslef. This is why I am settling on the stables being outside the city to the east. I need alot of room.
