Feel free to ask any questions regarding character creation guidelines in this thread.
Let's try and have some real flavor to the characters for this PbP.
Gameplay thread is now open.
Posting Order Question
Is there an order to out of combat posting, strictly RP posts etc.? Is it an unwritten rule to wait until all have responded or posted until you post again?
This question is NOT concerning battle posts.
Pictures in Spoilers?
Is there a way to post a jpg in a spoiler? I understand that if this is possible, they would need to be kept to a minimum. I do however like the 'flavor' of an occasional user picture.
There is no defined order outside of combat. If you ask a direct question to another character, you'll typically wait for an answer. Feel free to respond organically. If necessary, recap posts will serve to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Edit: Also, I'm fine with jpg contributions as I also think they can add some detail to what each person is communicating, or how they view the world. I don't know of a way to submit a pic in the thread, unless you host on another site and link to it that way. That is normally what you will see for people's character portraits.
Cade, a question:
dressed in scale armor and a sworm suit
what is a sworm suit?

After wracking my brain trying to find a way to be alerted when posts are made, here's what I found.
At the top of this page, towards the right, there are six little square icons. The first three are the RSS/Atom feeds for the recruitment, discussion and gameplay boards.
If you want an email sent to you when posts are made, simply right click the RSS/Atom icon and copy the link location. Goto blogtrottr.com and past the URL into the first box, enter your email and click "Feed Me." You can do this for each forum if you'd like. You'll get a confirmation for each submission.
These forums are a little strange and the "realtime" notification doesn't work so the blogtrottr.com service will poll the boards once an hour and email you if there has been updates.
Once an hour automated checks is a helluva lot better than what I was doing...
A few things:
A) when I was updating my char sheet I forgot to include the mule and saddlebags, I'll deduct that amount of gold from the 150g I had after my purchases.
2) Thanks for the updating tip, I'll be setting that up tomorrow.
Delta) Konstantin's name is pronounced: "con-stan-teen," like the name of the Roman emperor. Also, he (if you hadn't guessed based on his name) basically sounds like a Russian, which is how I imagine most people from Ustalav sound.
Ustalav is kind of a Transylvanian/Eastern europe proxy.
Looks like I am going to need a dictionary and thesaurus for Chris's and Thane's posts.
the villager’s studied recalcitrance softened,
grew steadily more caliginous.

For dictionary click here ----> Dictionary.
Agreed haha
Yeah, I had to ask Burke what "caliginous" meant.

Yeah, that's more or less what I was thinking, at least in terms of the NPC's accents and what not. Just wanted to give folks an idea of what my char's voice sounds like in my head.
Hello everyone! This is Raul. I am excited to be joining you guys. I should be wrapping up the details on my dwarf tomorrow at lunch.
This is my happy face :)

Awesome! Glad to have you.
I have added a couple of images for y'all to look at. They are listed above the tabs for each thread.
Some things will be added here, and then removed as necessary to avoid clutter. I will try to tell you when I upload something. For combats, we will use a shared google doc that anyone can edit. I will have map images, that are scaled appropriately, with solid bubbles to cover space you haven't discovered yet. I will initially create markers for each of you using your alias picture, and then you can manipulate that as needed during combat.
I currently do not have permission to view your google documents.
should be fixed now.

Good 2 Go

Correction, It only gave me access to the Angry Mob. Everything else is locked. I hope I dont have to request access to each one individually.
I'll go take care of it. I just didn't share properly before hand.
lol. So...I'm dumb, and used the same portrait for Professor Lorrimor, as Thane has for his alias. Whoops.
I'll see if I can find different appropiate image.
Sorry, that is a really "professor-y" picture, if I need to change mine, lemme know, not a huge deal.
Lorrimor Portrait has been changed
I was waiting to see if anyone else wantedto do anything, but since it has kind of stalled, I will be making a post tonight to move things along.
Computer is updating. I may not get the post up this evening, we'll see.
Building Trust (From the campaign book):
In “The Haunting of Harrowstone,” the PCs spend quite a bit of time in the town of Ravengro. Unfortunately, as strangers to the town during a particularly bad time, they aren’t initially trusted. Yet as the days roll by, they are faced with numerous opportunities to build upon the
town’s trust and, eventually, become well liked by the citizens, earning discounts on purchases, free room and board, or perhaps even greater rewards for their good deeds.
Ravengro’s overall trust in the PCs is expressed by a numerical value—a Trust score. This score is shared by the entire party—acts of individual members can affect this total just as surely as acts
the entire group takes part in. When the adventure begins, the PCs have a
Trust score of 20. They can raise their Trust score by doing good
deeds, respecting the townsfolk, or completing quests.

Checking in.....
just joking! I just wanted to post with this toon so you guys could see what I am wanting in your character header.
Below is basically what I want. This gets entered into your "classes/levels" field on the alias profile page.
Cavalier 1 (Gendarme) | HP 11/11 | AC 17 | T 11 | FF 16 | CMD 15 | Fort +3 | Ref +1 | Will +0 | Init +3| Perception + 4|
Please include the above information. Race and Class are not necessary, though they are helpful.
Was waiting on Thane, but since that post hasn't happened, I'll be moving it along today.
Thanks for being patient with me the last few weeks.
Finals were Thursday and Friday. Today was the last teacher work day of the year. I'm free from school till August (minus a few trainings).
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon how well it goes), I'll be consulting full time on Wednesday for the summer. I should have a pretty flexible schedule and my posts will be much more timely.
I will be out of town the next 8 days. I might be able to make a post or 2 but don't count on it. I will be reading the posts on my phone, but writing anything of length out might be a stretch. In other words, dont wait on me if things get rolling.
I've been super busy at work this week. I should be able to get a post up this afternoon.
Post, post, post post.....post, post, post, post....it's a post....it's a post....it's a pooooooooooost.
I do find it interesting that I'm writing up a metric to track productivity in the shop while also writing up the next post. Yay!
Most people misunderstand irony. I think you get it though...
I'll be moving the story along again soon, since it seems we've been derailed a bit.
Lies!
