Yeh, the brilliance of Gary Gygax. Rather than trying to fit a square peg in a round hole (aka "balancing classes"), he just made each class level at a different speed. Voila, problem solved.


One of the house rules I have toyed with is having certain classes use different XP tracks. For instance, the Rogue would be on the Fast track, while the Monk, Wizard or Paladin would take the Slow track. The rest would use the Medium track. Keep in mind I would still need to figure out which classes are optimized for which track, but you are right Vargrenz. That would basically nuke the whole unbalanced class issue to pieces.

Personally, I would put the Summoner(Synthesist and Master Summoner) and the Monk(Zen Archer) on the slowest track. (And the Gunslinger on the never-levels track.) But that is just my personal highly biased opinion.

Vacation post just to hint the GM that this may be the perfect situation to use my Burning Hands specialized spell :D

Hi guys, I am traveling overseas and have terrible connection. Will post rarely until Friday when am back at home.

People, I apologize for my slow posting rate lately.

Work has hit me with a vengeance after the vacations - I am slowly getting back into my pace.

Why would I ever do that? Didn't I have LoS from where I was? Because I would never step in front of everyone else into a room with what? Eight enemies? And to cast a Ray of Frost? Come on...

Worst case scenario I could risk it, but to fire off my most potent spell - Burning Hands (which would deal something around 3d4 damage + something). And even then, only if I knew our frontliners would move inside after me.

Why would you rule a 9hp wizard doing such a thing, when I know that both bandits and orcs are going to act almost right after me? :P

Sigh. This is the problem I sometimes have with PbP games where I have to interpret what the players actually intend to do. I do tend to make assumptions as to what the characters need to do. I could have asked you whether you meant to go in the room or not but I did not. That was to save some time during the combat.

I think I was in the wrong here. Next time I will not be so presumptuous. Sorry about that.

To be fair, as a group we haven't been great about making sure our tokens are always in the right spots before and during combats.

It goes both ways.

Sometimes the gm has to make some assumptions to keep things moving.


*nods* Brok makes a good point here. However I won't use that as a crutch since you have to zoom REALLY close to see the tokens on the map. For that I do apologize.

BTW, if anyone knows how to create a zoomed in map in Google Drawings for the next dungeon level I would greatly appreciate it!

GM, did you see my post above yours in Gameplay?

No need to apologize Komm - these things happen. It's all good, Grezzor is not dead ;)


Raaz, have you returned from your overseas trip yet?


Guys, I received a PM from a certain author of Hell's Hamlet, aka Mitchrod. Alex Clatworthy wanted to express his appreciation to us for using his content here.

I must say that made my day! You guys are all awesome players and I really appreciate you playing in my game!

That's awesome! We're awesome! This module and setting are awesome! Everything is awesome! :D

Malzii's player might have just ingested a large amount of caffeine after coming off of a night shift...

I seriously cannot make the map work right. This is the second time I've tried and screwed it up. From now on I'm just going to describe my movements really well and let other people handle my placement.

We ought to be able to update it for you. Just describe what you're doing and leave a comment asking for someone to do it for you.

My employer blocks google docs, so i cant update it during the day.


Guys, once you decide what to do with the human prisoners I will advance the timeline another day.

The captives seem like a dangerous nuisance to me.

The LE thing is to use them as slaves/tools, although Varg is not going to stop you all if you want to use them as snacks.

Brok thinks that controlling them effectively seems like it'll be too hard and that there's too big of a risk that they'll make noise and attract more enemies.

Hey folks, I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that as of today I'm without a job and I'm not sure of how this will affect my posting for the next little while as I look for a new one. Right now, I should be okay to continue with the game but if that should change, I'll be sure to let everyone know.


That sucks Malzii. No worries about your posting here. Take all the time you need to get another job. I can bot you in the meantime.


Inactive

Thank you for the understanding! As I said, I should be okay to post for the time being (given I now find myself with a lot of free time on my hands), though that may change once I find a new job. I'll be sure to keep you updated either way :)

As an FYI, I will be at Carnage Con this weekend, so posting will be light at best until Sunday night.


No worries Vargrenz. Enjoy the Con!

FYI, My posting will be sporadic through the Christmas holiday as I am working 60 hours a week until then. Hopefully my workload will be reduced by the beginning of the new year and I can resume my normal posting.

Arlok will not post next week. He go on Cruise to Mexico with wife. No pay for wifi on the boat.

I will try and check in on the wife's phone but not while we are roaming. Just bot me and keep me alive.

Apologies for the absent posting people - I am travelling since very early Monday, and thought I would have time to post. I was wrong.

I am resuming posting today, and will be travelling back home tomorrow, so should be catching up in the evening, unless I crash from exhaustion :P

SOmehow I managed to turn off notifications for this game so I wasn't seeing when new posts happened. I thought we were stalled. Sorry folks.

People, just wanted to let you all know I will be away for the whole next week on family vacations.

Keep it up! And bot me as needed.


Inactive

Enjoy your vacation Grezzor! :)


OK Guys,

According to my records you have leveled up! Once you have rested for the day you may record your official character level up changes. Please post a summary of your changes in this thread (along with your HP roll). Keep in mind you will all get an additional Hero point as well, for a total of two.

A reminder: Hit Points are rolled for. If you do not like your roll, you may spend a Hero Point for a re-roll. You must accept the re-roll regardless of the roll.

At this point Raaz is officially now a DMPC. I will run him for now until you complete your mission. I will level him up as well...*grumble grumble* More work for me...

Congrats guys for making it this far :)
