Sweet! I'm off this weekend so that's good. At what time est are we starting?
Joza Fersig |
Here I am! I'll be working night shifts Friday and Saturday but I should still be able to squeeze posts in here and there. Looking forward to it :)
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Even when I'm working I can post here and there. Not sure how combat will do but I can also post in the morning, or if you need to bot me I'll post what my character will do while the gm takes control of him.
And hello everyone!
And to let everyone know, my character is a flirt. Hopes that's okay with everyone.
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Looking forward to playing my first pbp pathfinder game! I've done some gming in the past where one player rped a gargoyle Druid and a half goblin paladin. Ah that was such an epic campaign!
So a bit nervous. I might pick up dragon disciple as well later on.

Ah thank you! The no wall of text was a surprise. In past pbp (mainly it was storytelling rping) so walls of text were expected. I'll try to limit myself on how much rp. Being a writer helps I guess.
But this is my first time doing a pathfinder pbp, but I guess the nervousness is because I'm excited.
And even if I don't get picked I don't get upset. It just means I have an opportunity to enhance my character's background and make it better. And I try to have a wide variety of characters so I'll be able to take part in any ap or campaign. But again even if I'm not picked I always always have fun designing these characters!

I have to agree I enjoy creating the characters and making up the stories to bring them into the fold of the various APs and campaigns people have put up. I have to say that I really enjoy PbP compared to a lot of my tabletop games as you actually really get into the story and character. I don't make as many backup characters for campaigns as far as PbP goes because I like the character I made too much and spent time working on them.
Joza Fersig |
You're welcome! PbP is definitely a lot of fun. Though I enjoy my tabletop games, I jumped into PbP because I wanted a deeper roleplaying experience and because I thought it would be a good exercise in creative writing. The format has its downsides to be sure, but in the uh...year and three months that I've been applying to and playing in PbP games, the positives have more than outweighed the negatives :)

Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Gameplay thread open, will add a map of the Fort this evening.
@Davlamin: could you put your profile, please?
@Strider, are you ready and there?
Sure thing. I'll try and put it up sometime today before work or on my break.
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Snap! Posted in the wrong spot!
Sorry about that y'all. iPhone decided to act up today. Oh well I got a 20 in diplomacy and a 23 in knowledge arcana. I'll copy and paste what I wrote and post in the right spot. Not sure about the rolls though. I'll just reroll then. Again sorry about that. My iPhone despises long posts and any site that isn't mobile. Which I guess includes this site.
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Ugh! My iPhone must be sick today. It didn't copy everything. Left out the arcana check.
Wow. This is a bad day. Excuse me I have to find some wood to knock on.
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Okay...my iPhone must be really acting up! I try to edit in the roll for arcana skill check and it deletes my post! Starts banging head against register.
I'm just going to wait until my break to post. I go on it at 7 pm est.
Anyone else have this much trouble doing a post on their first pbp?
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Ah finally! I finally got my iPhone to work right! Sorry about the mishaps y'all. I hope I did the local and religion skill checks correctly as he's untrained in both.

A note on posting, so everyone do the same thing:
speaking: When do you want us to start? (no commas)
action: the young man was still sitting on the small chair, but it was clear he was ready to go right now and embrace a new life as an adventurer (no need for brackets)
thinking: This IS the real life! No more work in dad's and mom's backery!
Please space your post so they are easy to read, and post your dice roll after the description of the action, like this:
They have no chance against me! I will be your champion!
The young man rises from his chair, and slams his fist on the table
Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
...but only manages to hurt himself
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Okay! Again sorry for the mishaps yesterday! A question about the history skill check: do I get the same info one would get from a successful local check? And did Davlamin find a way to bypass the guards? Maybe spotting a large crowd that would distract the guards for awhile?
And thank you for posting on how to post! It'll take some getting used to but I should manage. Painting my house this morning so I'll be slow posting. Sorry about that yall.

Evil cat stealing my poor guys food. He just got his freedom back and already a victim of another crime.
Don't worry Davlamin is looking out for you! But yeah bad kitty! No take other people's fishies!
And to give everyone a general idea on what Davlamin looks like here's a pic of Hennet the iconic sorcerer of D&D 3.5! Hennet

Snap! I just remembered that according to the book we have to get special permits to go adventuring or is that rule going to hand waved out?
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Going to bed now y'all. See everyone tomorrow morning or afternoon (well by my eastern time zone)
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Nah! I say you have perfect timing and sense of humor. :3
So it's good. Prefect way to put both Strider and Davlamin in their places.
Rahiv |
There is something to be said about the fact that people don't use their 0 level spells often enough. It truly makes me blue.
Nah, I myself have a wonderful sense of humor and love to play with it. Rahiv is a bit of a sad sack since he's been torn from his people forced into servitude and only recently gifted back his life so to speak. Hoping that the party will change his attitude over time so that he isn't so somber.
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Lol! Actually I tend to use my level 0 spells a good bit. I can't tell you enough how many times detect magic has helped out or how ray of frost/acid splash has saved my party from a tpk!
And hey maybe Rahiv might be able to keep Strider and Davlamin in line with their flirting of poor Joza. Although I must say that Joza's reaction to the sudden summer shower was excellent!
Not to mention our gnome gunslinger seems to have taken a shine to your undine.
And to Strider, sorry if it seems that my sorcerer is a bit attracted to your character. I did some more research into the faith of Calistria and saw that followers of the Savored Sting are open minded and tend to have multiple lovers and romantic partners. I guess it fits my character since he was raised by two priests (actually his mother was a mystic theurge).
Since I'm planning to pick up dragon disciple I'm not sure if I should pick up cleric and mystic theurge. Might be too many classes for me. What do y'all think?
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
will post tomorrow, busy day.
Prefectly alright! We can be patient. We're just having some fun at the moment before we go find the friendly Hellknight.

No worries Eschie! And thanks, her reaction all depended on whether or not she could catch Rahiv casting...sudden storm showers really are a sign of Gozreh's displeasure, lifted right from Inner Sea Gods hehe.
Strider Kalerian |
well I just learned that climb speed of 20ft means I always can take 10 even when threaten. I only have to roll if my DC would be more difficult then taking 10+skill. That interesting. So I can nearly climb anything inside a city wall or dungeon provided there any thing to use to climb. however I need 8 more points to climb anything without rolling. I find that fascinating. Of course thats DM dictated.
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
Currently at work so I'm going to be slow posting. Sorry about that y'all.

Good luck on your exams Zinli! :)

I've been meaning to ask you GM on how XP is going to work: will it be done normally or will you be leveling us up as we clear each dungeon floor?
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
I'm still studying the question, Davlamin
Perfectly alright. Take your time. I was merely curious that's all.
Davlamin Glimmergaunt |
I'm having a lot of fun everyone! This is great!
