Congratulations, and welcome to the little new player!
Congratulations!
I'll be out of town for most of the next week, so updates will be sparse and short.
Are you waiting on something from me? Because if we are all waiting on each other, we'll get stuck in a loop!
Yeah, you are right, I haven't had time to set it up yet. My bad.
Here's the small Who's Who on some of the most important people in Sandpoint. As time goes by, you'll meet more people, I'll keep a copy in the Campaign Info tab.
Casp Avertin: the Sandpoint Sheriff, Casp is a no-nonsense man who used to be a city officer in Magnimar.
Titus Scarnetti: the baron of the lumber industry in Sandpoint, Titus is an unpleasant, conservative man holding to outdated Chelish traditions.
Ethram Valdemar: the old noble is the only original member of the Sandpoint Mercantile League who's still alive, although his persistent cough seems to be trying to fix this. His family controls the shipbuilding industry in Sandpoint.
Lonjiku Kaijitsu: a glassmaker and owner of the Sandpoint Glassworks, possibly the most successful business in the town, Lonjiku is a descendant of an exiled family from Minkai. He has a short temper.
Ameiko Kaijitsu: daughter of Lonjiku, owner of the Rusty Dragon Inn and a former adventurer, Ameiko is also an excellent musician, always ready to share stories of her travels.
Shalelu Andosana: bounty hunter, survivalist and mercenary, Shalelu is a friend of Ameikoand regularly stays at the Rusty Dragon Inn. She keeps watch on any dangerous creatures that may move towards Sandpoint and the surrounding farms.
Jubrayl Vishki: a young, roguish man, Jubrayl is already suspected of being important in the local group of Sczarni, although no proof has yet been found against him.
Sandpoint Chapel: dedicated to Desna, this chapel is managed by the beloved Ezakien Tobyn, who lives there together with his beautiful adopted daughter, Nualia.
Sandpoint Theater: one of the most impressive in western Varisia, the theater is owned and financed by the flamboyant Cyrdak Drokkus, who fled from Magnimar for reasons never disclosed.
General Store: operated by Ven Vinder, doting father of your friend Shayliss and her sister Katrine, this general store has a bit of everything.
The Hagfish: owned by a one-legged man named Jargie Quinn, the Hagfish is a tavern popular among fishermen and gamblers. Tall tales are a favorite pastime here.
The Rusty Dragon: Sandpoint's oldest inn, the Rusty Dragon serves spicy, exotic food from all over the world, based on reciper Ameiko and her friend Sandru Vhiski found during their adventures.
Fatman's Feedbag: this seedy tavern is a notorious hanging place for Jubrayl, who's the owner, and the local scoundrels.
Personally I'm just working myself to the bone to get ready for GenCon, so don't expect much posting from me until after unless I'm especially needed.
I'm sorry. My grandfather died on the 20th of July after a long battle with Alzheimers, and I was about to try getting back into gaming when, today, my brother was killed by lightning while mountain-biking. I'm dropping this game and putting my only other one on hiatus. Good luck, guys.
Wow. I'm sorry to hear that Ileyna. Just, wow...
My gosh, I'm sorry to hear this. I wish you well, while you deal with an unimaginable tragedy.
I'm so sorry, that's beyond terrible.
Hi guys. Sorry for being absent, couldn't access my posts until now.

Just tell me where you want to go when you are ready to.
Folks. And especially GM. I'm not feeling the class for my character. Would it be a problem if a switched class ?

Not a problem to me. What would you want to be?
When I get back to my pc and herolab I'll have a proper look

I'm thinking Dex based Sword Saint Samurai

Ok, the dialogue is over (poor Nisk) and we're ready to go forth! Y'all going to Pillbug?
Yup.

I love what you're doing with the swearword, it's perfect!
I'll update tomorrow, days were busier than expected.
I'm half tempted to drop out of this now, there is legitimately no way on earth that I can top this latest post.
This must go to the Hall of Fame, I'm just glad I wasn't drinking coffee as I read it!
im sorry, i couldnt log on since wednesday. everytime it just kicked me back to log in screen :(
Server issues seem to be fixed. Let's get this show back on track!
Sorry if things are going slow, I keep getting stuck in a "maybe someone else wants to act -> forget to update" loop.
I'll try to give feedback on your actions more often.
Guys. I can't post properly without the app. So for now I have to bow out of a few of my games till I sort this out :( but if allowed I would like to join in as soon as it's sorted?
Not a problem right now, game is a bit sleepy. The module will end soon, hopefully things will move more once we get to Burnt Offerings. I'll also possibly re-recruit to fill the gaps.
I'm sorry it swamped, turns out that adapting that module to Sandpoint was harder than I expected, as a lot of the nice content was hidden in streets and slums.
@GM Sappy
I think everyone is waiting to see if James gets away with the information. Hopefully once we rendezvous it will pick up.
In the only game I run I found adapting a module was a lot harder than I expected. You have my sympathy.
I'll update as soon as possible, likely tomorrow. I'm approaching a school deadline and I have precious little time. Sorry for the delays.
No problem! Good luck.
Hey folks. I'm writing to all of my games to let you know that I'm going through some stuff right now. A dear friend of mine just passed away, and the past few days have been rather hectic, with friends and family visiting from out of town, a memorial service this afternoon, etc.
I'm not abandoning anyone, but I do appreciate your patience and understanding while I take a couple of days to get things sorted. I estimate I'll be back sometime before the end of this week.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, please take your time. When you get back, we'll think of a way to make this run again.
Hey GM Sappy, where are we at on this game? Odds we'll pick it back up again?
We will, definitely. It's my time to be a bit busy, and holidays are not a time for re-recruitment, so I think I'd start getting things back into shape by the second week of January.
What would you like to do? I think that looking for a few more players is a necessity, as there have been MIAs, then perhaps we should just start the Runelords AP with you as children? I've been looking for other modules, but I'm a bit afraid about adapting them to Sandpoint, that we may lose a lot (like happened with this one, which was more reliant on the "bazaar" atmosphere than I anticipated).
Hit me with your crazy proposals otherwise: would you prefer having two PGs each, one adult and one child, to act like cohorts of sorts? Just going off the top of my head right away.
Happy to start up :)
I think it is going to be difficult to find modules that adapt well to having children in a small village. On the other hand it might be possible to pull some stuff together that is child-specific. Us vs 2-4 goblins would be an interesting match.
I don't know the beginning of Runelords past the first encounter, so I don't know how important being kids will be. I do think that you'll need to look at the timeline carefully to see if it works with the sort of delay it'd take to start as kids and end as adults.
I'm down with starting back up during the 2nd week of January. I kind of like the idea of 2 PCs, or maybe a past/future thing, with the same character in two different times?!
I've done past/future timeline juggling in one of my IRL games, and it's really, really hard. I was thinking more along the line of brothers, or the young rascals pestering the older adventurers, or a bunch of orphans that were rescued from a goblin raid and grew close to their saviours.
As for being kids, there are several places where we can add time-lapses for growing up, I'll check more carefully but I'm rather sure the timeline can be stretched. And there's outdoor adventuring that would need to be justified, either by absent parents or you running away.
And I'll probably tone the darkness a bit down: goblins being psychotic savages, but not murderers, encounters going non-lethally, that sort of things. Rather than slaughtering the raiding goblins, for example, it would be the sort of playful battle that children do on the streets.
I'd prefer not to have 2 PCs in disparate scenes. I've tried it before and while it can work quite well in fact to face, I think the timespan of a PbP game can mean character details fall off when I switch back.
Ok then, on Monday I'll set the re-recruitment up: then we'll start with Runelords, with you being kids, no other gimmicks.
Who's still here, other than Sammy and Tarketh?
I am!
Ah, yes, I meant you. :| I think Sammy's not.
Re-Recruitment is up! Feel free to check up on it.
Also, rule update: even if your caster level is 0, effects with a duration of X/level last half that long, minimum 1 round.
I'm a bit afraid that I haven't been completely clear with my intention, I'd start ROTRL proper, but by having you all keep your current age: was that clear?
Because, otherwise, you'd be about 7 years older than you are now, bringing you into standard PC age, and I don't feel confident enough in my adventure-writing skills to find you something fun to do during the Late Unpleasantness.
Would any of you have an issue if I allowed that 3pp class, Dragonrider? It's pretty well-balanced and I'd be for it, all in all, but wanted to check in with you.
Also, if you have feedback, on either players and characters, feel free to either write it here or message me.
Well, seeing as how I'm back...
I certainly don't mind the Dragonrider if it's balanced in your opinion.
I'll check out the submissions and see what I think. Will get back to you.
Welcome to all the new submissions!
Also, you currently have a 15-point build if I'm not wrong
Get to know each other, I'll do my best to have the first post up by tomorrow.
