Sounds good to me. Shall we decide what attributes our character has then? Like, where does he fall on the Good/Evil Order/Chaos Axis? Can he fight? Is he dumb as a rock?
I think we should probably go the route that magical creatures aren't something an average person would see. Rare enough to make them something special, but not so much that we're making them go extinct if we kill one.
Magic should be grounded I think. As in, a powerful mage could shoot a ball of fire or levitate a boulder, but not part the sea or destroy a mountain. As for creatures I have no opinion.
Yeah I'm liking that idea as well, like the King could be holding court and whoever's turn it is to play the character could decide the fate of whoever comes to see the king.
