Little things to help.

Even if you're just peripherally involved in the creation of this project, there are plenty of little things you can do to help.

(1) I'd like a small collection of unique looking, flavorful sets of clothing to import. Just remember: nothing too fancy, this isn't a noble ball. Check with me on IRC if you'd be interested in doing this.

[Edit: I no longer need anyone to do this]

(2) Ultimately, I hope to give every single "commoner" NPC a custom description. So, in this thread, just post a bunch of very brief character descriptions. If I like them, I'll stick them in, and you'll get to search for npcs that are using a description you made up.

Example:

This grimy looking half-orc has dull, sullen, hopeless eyes. His bulging muscles are a testament to decades spent working in the mines, and two missing thumbs remain with him as a reminder of his former master's cruelty.

This scabrous looking old woman clearly suffers from some kind of skin condition or disease. She looks around her wildly, and clutches a misshapen bag of rags to her chest.

And so on.

Ha Ha! Something I can help with.

As soon as i get back from a job interview ill plug away.

-OMG

This Dwarve's face is pulled in a perpetual scowl, his face covered in grime and dirt.

This twitching Gnome seems to always be glancing over his shoulder, and quickly turning back around to nudge his spectacles back up his large nose.

The old man before you can be seen reading through a tattered book, yet the pages are blank.

This child is perhaps the only ounce of cheerfulness for miles, entertaining himself with a pair of sticks.

The surly Dwarf before you looks to be gazing out lazily at something you cannot see, a calloused hand grooming his haggard beard.

This child's face is gaunt from lack of food and dark streaks run down from his puffy red eyes.

This child looks out at you with strong brown eyes that seem to defy your gaze.

This small girl walks with a limp and in one hand carries a stuffed bear that is missing most of it's stuffing and it's left eye.

This girl walks with a brave aloofness, as if not recognizing the obvious squalor around her.

This portly woman has a long wooden spoon secured to a belt at her side.

This man walks with a gimp leg and seems to be sniffing for something. Sometimes he grabs for his hair and pulls out a flea that is quickly consumed.

This woman holds herself with a regal air despite the rags that she wears.

The innumerable frowns from hardships endured by this middle aged man have left their mark forever in the lines of his stern face.

With Ruddy cheeks and a jovial gapped-tooth grin, this beefy man's stench of hard liquor is hardly surprising.

Listlessly this halfling stares about, slowly plodding along, apparently directionless. The jocular spirit of his race has all but vanished from his movements.

Gaunt featured and acne scarred, this nearly adult half-elf girl seems to be taking acting unassuming to an amusing extreme.

An older dwarf with a wet cough and a trace of dark wisdom in his sunken eyes.

The whites of this woman's eyes flash as she glances about, sharply contrasting with her soot covered skin and hair.

The woman walks with a stoop, her back bent from countless heavy loads.

The man gazes off into the distance, his proud spirit not lessened by the rags that adorn his body or the dirt streaking his skin.

The child glances up at you, her eyes filled with fear as she watches your hand, wondering if she is about to be struck.

The dwarf has a booming laugh which echoes around the cavern, making others stop and look his way.

A loose, bloodstained bandage is wrapped around the woman's ankle, and she limps heavily as she walks.

The elf has little of the usual grace and lightness of her race. Instead, a deep depression seems to have settled upon her shoulders, and she barely looks up when you greet her.

This young human man walks with a decided limp in his left leg. In spite of this, he stands arrow-straight and meets your gaze with dark, flashing eyes. His clothes are neatly patched.

This older woman wears a large leather pouch around her waist. The flap is open, exposing several large skeins of rothe wool. She holds her arms close to her chest, and you can see she works the wool with two long, straight bone needles. When she catches your gaze, she smiles slightly, nods and continues with her knitting.

This young woman has very dark circles under her pale eyes, but smiles wearily at you as you pass. The slight point of her ears suggests some elven ancestry. She balances a large, round bundle of rothe leather on her hip as she walks along.

Smoke rings hover over this well-muscled older man who wears the garb of a rothe herder. His right arm is cradled in a sling, but that doesn’t stop him from holding a long, worn bone pipe in his right hand.

A dark skinned man with perpetual grimace on his face. His hand moves towards his dagger, on his belt, when he notices you looking his way.

An elderly woman holding an infant bundled up in her arms, she watches you with a wary eye and seems to hold the child tighter if you move in her direction.

A young man with a scowl on his face, he is missing his left arm but in his right he carries a large walking staff. He nods shortly to you when he notices you looking at him.

This man mumbles to himself as you walk past, making thrusting motions with his right hand as if stabbing some unseen foe.

This young woman is holding a bundle of clothes in her hands, she goes about her business without noticing you.

An elderly man, he sits on his chair and smokes a pipe. He seems to be carving out a small wooden spoon.

A small boy, he is watching the elderly man with interest. Fidgeting each time the man stops carving, reaching out towards the spoon.

This young man is wearing very tight clothes, accenting his muscular body well. Leaning up to a wall, he looks at you with a smarmy grin when you walk past

Apparently watching your every move, this woman cautiously backs away from you. The whole left side of her face is covered in burn scars.

This man is horribly scarred, wearing only a loincloth you can see his whole body. He has various tattoos all over his body, a large one with some amount of writing covering his back. He looks around like he doesn't know where he is.

Standing out from the crowd, this human apparantly enjoys dressing in expensive and eye-pleasing silks. He seems meticulously clean - on the brink of the fanatic.

This ravaged young woman looks like she was quite comely at one point, but has since been ravaged by age as well as several whippings.

When Urdlenites Attack!

This gnome stands there with a wild grin and unkempt hair. He has many scars and welts, as well as a few ligaments missing, and half an ear. He looks as if he were tortured to insanity.

This man looks common to these parts. His name is Er. He is a common Er.
