This is the OOC thread for the Cromora's Finest campaign.

(Male Human Trapper Ranger 4)

Yar. Also, dot.


I believe the first thing to do is to find someone who knows how to add players and characters to the Campaign tabs. I shall go to the Site Feedback forum and ask around.


Secondly, I need to decide how big an adventure to start out with. 1 encounter? 2? More?


Repeat of what I said. Characters get added when they post in the game Thread, Players no idea there.


I made myself a character.

I'm not bringing her into the campaign just yet, as I want to get a handle on GMing before picking up a GMPC, but she'll show up eventually. Opinions would be loved, especially concerning the backstory.

(Male Human Trapper Ranger 4)

Technically encounters can be social, skill-based, or combat-based. Random encounters mean just that: Random. You give out xp for good roleplaying or not, it doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense for being good at conversation to make you more dangerous/durable.

We've got a gameplay thread for dotting, now. Hopefully that'll do it.

You are now a character and for your character you posted. Was the mother's boyfriend a elf or a human? I do not really seeing an elf beating his girlfriend. Anyway other than that seems like a cool character to me. I do not know much about spell casters though.

Human. Her mother had a thing for humans.

Thanks.

What's the gender and ethnicity? I have a copy of Gary Gygax's Book of Names that I use for this sort of thing. I could look for some good ones. Or you could check here.


Female Human, and I was thinking Nestoran.

Welcome. I LOVE my copy of Gary Gygax's Book of Names. It comes in handy unbelievably often.


And now just a couple random setting questions, The Rangers are allowed to openly carry weapons right? And are the Rangers like their worlds version of a S.W.A.T team, or are they more Special Ops type? o.o

They honestly sounded a lot like the FBI when I read the description.

...I may have been drunk.

I thought special police force that has different groups specialize in different areas.

Actually, the regular police do that. They have homocide, Highway, Vice, S.W.A.T., etc. in fact, most investigative/policing services do.

Yes, Rangers can openly carry weapons. Civilians can do it, too, provided they have the proper permit and lack convictions for violent behavior.

I'd compare Rangers to a mixture of the two. Like SWAT, they are used when regular Ministry of Magic officials prove insufficient or when things are believed to be likely to result in bloodshed, but their use of stealth attacks and high lethal force rate resemble special ops, and they can be deployed in support of the military in times of war to keep powerful spellcasters and monsters in enemy service from shredding the soldiers and sailors of Cromora.

I know, I meant more like how Navy trained guys are better at sea. Army is better at land.

That actually fits them pretty well. They are federal, not local (unlike SWAT). This is because the Ministry of Magic itself is federal.

You mean like the difference between SEALs and Green Berets?


Yeah sorry it is almost 1 am.

(Female Human (Nestoran) Rogue 4 (Investigator Archetype))

Ok, Got the basic profile thing done, Notepad is being dumb and not wanting to move my background onto the character page, so I need to do tech support for a bit and try to fit it -.-

Accepted.

Would you and Mrdarknlight (please create an alias for your character like Evinina and Nissa) dot the game thread? You two are accepted. That leaves one slot open.

(Female Human (Nestoran) Rogue 4 (Investigator Archetype))

Rolling up some HPs real quick...
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

(Female Half Elf (Water Child Alternate Racial Attribute) Sorcerer (Arial Stormborn Bloodline) 4 (Uses Wisdom as casting stat))

Should roll mine.

3d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 6, 4) + 18 = 34


3d10 ⇒ (10, 8, 2) = 20

GM rolling up some extra PCs. I'd like to have a selection in case I need NPC Ranger Service personnel to throw into the fight or have you guys interact with or if I decide to bring in a GMPC at a later date.

This one's a Nestoran Paladin with a silver tongue, sarcastic wit, and love of practical jokes and bawdy humor. I see no reason Paladins should have to be boring people with no senses of humor.

(Female Human (Nestoran) Rogue 4 (Investigator Archetype))

So what day is the game going to start, and is there a set time yet? ^^

I'm not going to be in town tomorrow.... or more accurately, today, since it's almost 1 am here. Friday is my day to do things with my friends, since they all live 2 cities over, and I can't visit them all the time. I will also be gone most of Sunday, every Sunday.

heres a bit of background, feel free to get me to edit it as you see fit :)

character background:

DESCRIPTION

Tama is a bearish looking man, heavy shouldered with shaggy hair, several weeks growth of beard on his face and a deep rumbling voice. he wears a long brown leather duster, sturdy boots and a well worn, wide brimmed hat. his clothes are typically stained and dusty, and he usually carries a spear. Tama is a likeable character and a skilled tracker and survivalist. he speaks little - but his people have learned to listen when he does.

BACKGROUND

tama was raised by his father in the tradition of a tribal shaman, and spent his younger days roaming the plains. his people revere a number of animalistic demi gods, rather than a specific deity.

however as time has passed tama has come to realise that the world is changing around his people, and they needed to adapt to find a way to preserve their way of life. as his father aged he found himself pushed more and more into represnting his tribe to outsiders (hence the ranks in diplomacy and sense motive) which has put him into contact with the more 'civilised' parts of cromora. recently he has taken up a role with the rangers, in the hopes that he will be able to act as some kind of buffer for his people, who have increasingly come to resent the laws being handed down by the ruling classes.

this has inevitably led to feelings of conflict for the young druid as he tries his best to please everyone, with a foot in two very different camps, and his own desire to run from his responsiblities and disappear into the wilderness pulling him in a third direction.

ok i have to go do other stuff now, have probably neglected a few things! i'll be away for the weekend too. will check in when i get back. cheers!

(Male Half-ELf Summoner/1)

Here is the profile for Ormr. I have some spells slots left anyone have some suggestions as to spells I should get?

(Male Dwarf Wizard (Abjurer) 4)

Dotted the gameplay thread and ready to go whenever.


I'll have the adventure starting in an hour or two.

St00ji, I unfortunately have four players already. The four players with characters in the character tab are accepted.

Dark Sun, just jump in when you can. We can assume your character is recovering from an injury or in court or something and will join the RP when ready.

(Male Dwarf Wizard (Abjurer) 4)

Don't freak out if I don't post immediately when it starts, 'cause I've got work tonight.


GO it.

You many now begin RPing. The encounter has begun.

(Male Half-ELf Summoner/1)

I have been waiting for the others to post so I can say some stuff.

(Male Half-ELf Summoner/1)

Hey Vinland you read manga?

(Male Human Trapper Ranger 4)

I do.

(Male Dwarf Wizard (Abjurer) 4)

Hey Blue, I believe we're waiting for you to post to get moving on the gameplay.


No, I don't read much manga.

I'm heading out for a few hours. I'll be available this afternoon.

Here spell list:
Level 0: Detect Magic,Light, Mending, Open/Close, Read Magic
Level 1: Mage Armor,Protection from Evil, Lesser Rejuvenate Eidolon,

What is it? I can see if the library has it.

I'd suggest combat or summoning spells. A couple would round out the utility spells on your list nicely.

The manga is called Vinland Saga it is a very serious historical based manga.

As a summoner I get summon as a spell like ability equal to 3+ my cha mod times a day. The creatures also last 1 minute per level instead of round. Why I did not go with summoning spells. I will check out some combat spells.

I told you guys, I was out of town on Friday, I work at a comic book store, and Fridays is a 14 hour work day, starting at noon. So I didn't get home until 3am and I just woke up a little while ago.


Once Evelina and Grunnar have posted, we can come to a decision on whether to wait, carry out the search warrant, or investigate the goblins.


Twiddles thumbs.
