My home internet is being ... much less than cooperative (again) and I may not be able to come online every day. Please don't think that I've given up on the game! I will try to return as I can... Feel free to DMPC me if such becomes necessary.
Finally have my phone, and only one more week of camp... once school resumes I will practically live on here.
Hey folks, I'mn not quite ready to start myself and I'd like as much of the group present anyways ;) I'll have the game going as soon as I have some more prep done. Last week wasn't as productive as I would have liked.
No worries. Still waiting. :)
Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere

Just waiting patiently. And getting work done that I should be doing instead of reading paizo posts >.>
Just a reminder that I'm heading out this Friday, in case you all get up and running before I'm back on 24 August.
Have fun! Vive la France and all that!
Enjoy your vacation!

I realize that I haven't put up my actual fluff yet, and I apologize. It's done, I just have to get to my computer to paste it. For señor spiderbeard, I'll try and get the bare bones here so you can figure out why I am here:
Czein was born in the southern river kingdoms and orphaned at a young age by numerian marauders. He was taken in by bandits later, only to have them murdered by the same gang. He was forced to swear fealty to the marauders, but he used this to his advantage. Several years later, he woke up in the night and murdered almost all of the numerian marauders.
After another two years of solitude, he decided to find a good cause and seek redemption with Gorom.

Thanks Czein! Waiting on your crunch too :P
Again, as soon as I can get to my computer :)
Wayfinder won't let me be Czein for some reason...
I think you need to have the gameplay thread dotted.
Eh, just a glitch I think, just wouldn't let me edit it to be Czein...

Okay guys, we're gonna get things going! Calling for attendance. Who's here?
"Crystal Delphi stands ready."
I'll be on this afternoon, with crunch :)

If you don't have crunch ready by the weekend I'm doing it for you. Hint: I'm going to find an optimization guide and do the opposite.
;)
And all ready to go.

Present!
Gameplay thread is OPEN. We're going to do a 'cold open' while we gather stragglers. Feel free to introduce your characters in whatever situation makes the most sense, or fun for you.
It took several days, but our vacation rental finally has working wifi.
Awesome! Hope the vacation is going well.
I'll have my followup to all of your intro posts tomorrow as we get the ball rolling. :)
And the moral of today's story is, children?
Don't let random, weirdo halflings cast spells on you.
I thought it was, 'when strangers approach you in a library and address you by name, don't talk to them but start running right away'. :p
Oh, yeah. That too. :p
All of you got a nice little paralysis spell, I got a sword to the skull :C

Interestingly enough I couldn't open the psot you made for me with my webbrowser. I clicked on it to show the "Ragnar" Spoiler, but it didn't do anything.
Luckily Wayfinder had no problem displaying it. Nice End of the intro! And thanks for giving me something for my exceptionally good roll.
Czein - Different strokes for different folks ;)
And yeah, I have the same issue too Ragnar. Glad Wayfinder opened it up! And that was a -really good- Diplomacy roll.
And Raven - whoops! Imagine that the owner of the library is only of so much concern to the woman you're speaking with.
Hey, I'm fine with her making that mistake. It might save someone's life, from what I've observed. ;)
In wayfinder there is a marker for "bold" text, that only opens, but never closes. Maybe that's why it doesn't function correctly.
Really nice start though. Got me wanting for more.
Thanks! And that song is hilarious. Completely plays into the gravitas of everything.
And that song is hilarious. Completely plays into the gravitas of everything.
Yes. Yes, it is. :D And yeah, I thought it was just the thing for this situation. XD
And here stupid me thought that was a kids show ;-)
It will play in my head all night long...
Hm, I couldn't post as Ragnar using wayfinder today. I hope that'll be no permanent problem.
Wayfinder occasionally makes my life miserable - an uninstall/reinstall has fixed everything thus far.
Even reinstalling it didn't work...

Is Ragnar your default Alias? Wayfinder doesn't ever let you post as that for some reason.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Yes it is... I'll test that.
I thorowly regret giving away his mystical abilities so soon. I'd really liked to keep them hidden for a bit longer. Still, for now he seems like a standard wizard, not a scheeming witch.
If it helps, Raven wouldn't give a rusted lugnut what kind of spellcaster he is, so long as he isn't a Primalist with wild surges going off all over the place -- while she's in the blast zone. :p
Hey, as long as Ragnar isn't undead or a cultist (or both), Crystal isn't going to judge him. :)
Mages and especially witches don't have a good standing with common folks. Especially where Ragnar comes from, where he might have been put to the pyre just for being a witch. Of course adventurers are a bit different. Still, knowing that someone can play around in your head and with your fate... Just saying.
Can't really be worse than being born with a hunger for blood and having one foot in the grave. XD
Or being 'born' on a laboratory table with the stench of ozone everywhere... ;)
Or having every acquaintance you've ever had either die before you or slaughtered by your own hand... we are a screwed up bunch, you know that?

Part of the challenge in games like this is it's kind of hard to be a mysterious scheming witch in relation to the rest of the party. They're just gonna know you have spells without too much effort, particularly since Pathfinder is such a combat-heavy RPG.
I think the character concept you have will blossom when you're in situations dealing with NPCs, nonviolent resolutions, information gathering, and that sort of thing. And there'll be ample time for that, so worry not :)
Oh yes, that was pretty much what I was going for. Since anybody can freely read my whole character sheet, this is all just roleplaying. I didn't expect I could hide Ragnar's abilities for long anyway.
But I had a female rogue once in a pen-and-paper round where I managed to pretend being male for most of the campaign. It got pretty funny when a lust devil seduced me :-D
So, stuff like that can work.
Thanks for the tip! Wayfinder really doesn't let you post with your default alias. God to know.
