Thanks Laelynn.
So how are you guys liking the game so far?
I appologize for being so slow as I said weekends are crazy for me. I will be on for the next 2 hours if anyone has any questions/complaints you can either post them here or PM me. After that I won't be on much tonight, I have bowling league.

I'm sorry for not spoilering that part!! :( won't happen again :D
But yeah it's fun, can't wait to start kicking off seriously. By the way I just wanted to say to the group that if I do mistakes with my english grammar.. well i'll try my best but it's not my first language :/

Okay guys now that we're wrapping up the pre-roleplay from this weekend and about ready to actually start the events I have a few "house keeping" issue to discuss with you.
1-XP: I do not hand out xp at the end of an encounter or for roleplaying or anything like that. I will track where you guys are and tell you at approperate times when to level. I'm pretty sure this is standard for pbp's but for those of you who are new to pbp or have DM's that do it differently I wanted/needed to clerify.
2-Graphic/Adult themes: I'm pretty sure we're all adults here but I just want to remind people this is a public forum which children do access and our game is not locked. There are parts of this adventure path that get very adult themed, like a guy who was kept as a sex slave to a sucubus for 10,000 years...when we get there we will hint at whats going on and then move on. I am okay with light adult humor but nothing to graphic please or our game will be removed.
3-Character hook-ups: If you want to start a relationship with one of your fellow adventurers or one of my NPC's, thats fine, I encourage it, but please keep number 2 in mind. If adult activity happens we will fade to black.
We have done a wonderful job respecting number 2 and 3 so far so don't think I'm yelling at anyone with this post I just wanted to get things established before we get near this point. Oh and if there is ever anything said or done in game that makes any of you uncomfortable(like my dialog in the game thread my last post) please please please let me know or the person who posted it know and it will be removed/remedied. Please lets be mature about things and if people are offended by what is said lets respect that boundary and not hide behind the 1st amendment here.

I personally like GMs that use google docs for a map. When it comes to combat, some sort of map is very helpful. Especially when trying to plan tactics, and such.
Gavin_Gossamar |
agreed. posting rate, content of posts, ect. This has the makings of a fun, reliable group.
---------------------------------------------------------
since it looks as if, we are all retiring for the night (in game). I'm assuming we will be picking up on the next day. Would you have any issue with Gavin spending 2 hours before going to bed, a scribing a scroll?
Gavin_Gossamar |
So DM Mathpro,
You got this game,
Jade Reagent...
a higher level game (I think)
And now a Giantslayer!
Are you gonna have 1 of EVERY AP going at the same time?

Honestly, he was just the first character to interact with. You had given a few details about the previous drunken night and I rolled with it. I was about to talk with Tiyeri before we brought the evening to a close.
I imagine Laëlynn as a cute tom-boy that is a little socially awkward. She was raised by a single father in the wilderness who has spent a good part of life in and around Magnimar and Sandpoint. She is less inclined to be a "lady" and more interested in being "one of the guys". Given her 6'1" frame and boundless strength, she isn't a delicate flower like most of the women she's seen. At the moment, she is putting on a mask of confidence, but inside, she is scared and lonely without her father.

So a question for Laelynn and Mal...do I sense a hook up coming between the two of them..they seem to have that chemistry between them lol.
"Mal & Laëlynn... sitting in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G....!"
DM Mathpro |
Yes I'm running this, Jade Regent, Academy of Secrets(a level 13 module), and Giantslayer. But you guys will always be my first return game and that is special lol. And no I won't be adding anything else to my plate right now...we'll see if over the summer things die off/I get bored. I have finals coming up in 2 weeks that I really really need to start focusing on. I've been setting up my Jade Regent game today instead of working on calculus.
Mal Dorren |
Mal was a rich kid that very desperateley wanted to not be seen as a rich kid, so in his teenage years he gravitated to the girls most likely to irritate his parents. I imagine there was tiefling girl that he had thing for at one point, who may have had a lot to do with the poor life choices that got him where he is today.
Gavin_Gossamar |
just for clarification Gavin will scribe Lvl 1 Toppling Magic Missile material costs = 12.5gp
FYI, unless otherwise noted. Gavin will make a scroll every day he is able, as long as he has 2 hours uninterrupted to focus on scribing it. Will not always be same spell.
Tiyeri Purr |
I'm sorry if i'm not too much "social" just trying my best to stay in character :) but yes I really liked how it has started.. This is my first experience with non-live-Pathfinder so i'm really excited! I'm sure i will remember this always at least i hope so :D And for i love all the difference in the group and how it is creating itself!
Jastheriga |
None of those 3 points is an issue for me.
As far as maps? I do prefer them at least for serious combats. Sometimes I have trouble visualizing the area without something to look at.
I've seen PbP use both google docs and roll20. Some people say one is easier some say the other is easier. I really can't say. From the player side I don't see a huge difference. So I guess which ever is easier for you to create.

To Save icons/images to the google doc, you right click on an icon/image here on the message boards to save it to your computer or copy it to the clipboard. Then you can either upload the image from your desktop or ctrl+v to paste it into the document.
From there it is as easy as resizing the image for the grid and them moving it about.
DM Mathpro |
Okay ladies and germs the battle map is up and live in the campaign info tab. Please feel free to move your tokens and if someone can please figure out how to lock down the background picture so it doesn't move anytime someone accidentally clicks it instead of their icon please do so. I have it set so that everyone who uses the link is able to edit it.

Almost forgot headsup information
I will be unavailable starting tomorrow (Thursday evening) till Sunday evening. Have to get on trip with my girlfriend, ... huoh, so the games need to be put aside for a while.
Hopefully will not disturb the game so much. DM or someone else willing can move my character meantime.
Gavin_Gossamar |
choosing a vacation w/ the girlfriend over gaming... you're a disgrace to geek-dom? (sarcasm)
lol, j/k
Have fun, enjoy yourself. We'll try not to get you killed in the meantime.

apparently my character is min/maxed:
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
trip attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
max'd the damage on a magic missile
min'd the trip
