Welcome to the discussion thread for Ravenloft: Night of the Walking Dead. Players, please check in here when you get the chance.
Hello, is this thing on? Hello folks!
Greetings all! I think I'm ready to go, unless we want to have a paladin in the group instead of a straight-up fighter. I'm fine with switching, I thought about paladin for this character anyway, and it'll give us some more variety and something to fall back on.
Doesn't matter one way or the other to me. Paladins are always nice to have around (at least in 5e). But, ultimately, it's up to you. :)
I just look forward to killing undead.
Poke? Any movement here?
I'm just waiting for folks to finish checking in. I'll have some posts up later today or tomorrow.
That's more or less what I've been waiting on. :) The game certainly sounds fun!
About Erial: he likes long moonlit walks, with a stake in one hand and his bow in the other. Garlic venison with a side of roasted bat wing is his first date go-to food. And his biggest pet peeve is ghouls that refuse to honor their situation and stay dead!
Any room left TPJ?
GM Niles, see my reply in the recruitment thread.
I rolled a Druid. I can swap over to a cleric if necessary..the character concept will remain.
Ausk is a gruff half orc who has spent most of his life in the swamp, scrapping to get by with a tribe of Goblins. He fell in with this group of adventurers as they traipsed through his swamp, he was showing them the way out when shenanigans happened
Sooooo, you're Shrek? :D
"No Erial, this is MY swamp!"
Yep.
After some thought, I've decided to switch Wolf over to a Paladin rather than Fighter. It gives a little more diversity to both his own abilities and the party as a whole, gets us some more reliable healing if only a little, and adds some neat divine hunter aspects to him. Plus, Oath of Vengeance is very fitting for this character and everything he does.
For introduction purposes, the Old Wolf is a jaded warrior against the darkness, although he wouldn't lay claim to being part of the light himself. He's fiercely dedicated to his cause, and never loses sight of the bigger picture of slaying evil and protecting the innocent--although his vision may seem clouded at times. His biggest strength is this determination, which drives him on even beyond death itself.
Hi guys! Thanks for having me Lofty. It's my first adventure on the Paizo boards so I'm pretty stoked. (Not my first pbp though.. I'll mostly need a hand navigating this forum.)
I think I figured out how to create an alias, just need to see where you want me to place the 'statblock'.
I'll take a better gander at it tonight when I come home.
Edit:
Gah! I've got a twin!! I'll see about finding a different picture ;)
The gameplay thread is open. Once you've checked in here, you can dive right in. For once the adventure doesn't start in a tavern, but right in the thick of things.
You'll soon wish for a cozy fire and a cool mug of ale.

Gah! You know how hard it is to find a female pic that is happy? Every dam one of them is a scowling scowler that is -not- happy and is frowning at a head of iceberg lettuce.
This is a close as I could get to a girl who knows how to have a good time even going on a pleasure cruise at night with a fisherman through eel-infested waters.
Also, hi there! I'm Atlas2112 and in my other game with TPJ I play a character that takes everything seriously.
Kara takes nothing seriously.
Nothing. ;-]
Hi Atlas, nice to meet you. Feels like we're off to a fun start :) Where would you like me to roll Lofty? The gameplay thread or this one?
Rolls will be kept in the gameplay thread.
Doot
As many of the players here play in games I run (Loup, Atlas & Bimp) and I love this adventure I will be lurking and watching this one.
Have fun all! :-)
Sorry for the interruption, carry on.
Good ol' rusty-dagger-shank town
You mentioned that characters each got 50 XP a piece. Is XP tracking something you'll be handling, and were just informing us of, or would you prefer that be something we track individually or as a volunteer for the lot? :)
I have my own tracking, but since your characters benefit from it I'd suggest tracking it as well. :)
I’m posting this here on behalf of DM Default, who’s running a Curse of Strahd campaign in which I’m a player.
The campaign is looking for 2 additional players, details from the original recruitment:
- Standard Array or 27 point buy, your choice.
- Everyone starts at 3rd level. - characters just hit level 4, I would assume new players will also start at 4.
- Max hit points first level. For each level after you roll for hit points, or take the average, whichever is higher.
- You are allowed the options listed in the Curse of Strahd Player's Options
- You are allowed to use the Sword Coasts Adventure's Guide, but no race or race variant with flight.
- Please list your flaw, bond, background, etc though you are not confined to the strict text if you have and idea for a character.
Current characters are a Bard, Draconic Sorcerer, Blade-Pact Warlock and Battle-Master Fighter. We had a Rogue who went AWOL, and our Bard is currently dealing with some IRL issues and may be out for a while. We could use at least a Cleric.
If you’re interested, please PM either DM Default or me. I don’t know what his policy is on UA or other material, so you’ll need to discuss with him.
There should be a new recruitment thread going up soon, but I figured I’d get a jump on it to help things along.

Sorry for the post but I have been following along and I have to say this is a great crew and you are doing a great job setting the mood Lofty! Also I will PM DM Default, he run a good game as well.

No worries at all. We're getting some interest, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far.

I know that Loup is dealing with some RL stuff (either work or finals or something trivial like that) but Johnnycat? GM Niles? You guys are usually the ones throwing up 3 posts a day. Is there something going on?
I know, I know, Kara hasn't been setting enough things on fire. Hopefully that will change. We all just have to buckle down and work hard and maybe, someday, will all be able say, "Yep. That qualifies as the definition of a 'conflagration'."
Eh? I'm around, but it seems like Kara's currently taking the lead on the groups actions.
Bump?
Happy New Year everyone. I've been a bit overwhelmed with the holidays, work and a couple other more demanding games. But let's kick this thing back into gear.
Hey guys,
I do most (90%) of my posting from work and now the paizo.com site is being blocked. This means that I'll only be able to post from my phone or from home. Because of this, I'm going to withdraw from some of my games and focus on just a few of my longer running ones. So, I'll be withdrawing from this game. I apologize and good gaming with you.
Niles

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
*takes a moment*
I'm posting this as Atlas so as to convey that I acknowledge the impact such a thing will have.
GM Niles is (was?) an active poster and a regular for a lot of people. Such a heinous and surprising act will no doubt impact many.
Poop.
B-bump
How's the future look for this game?
I'm going to call it. I've had less time than I previously anticipated to devote to PbP games over the last month, and that schedule isn't going to really let up for a while.
I've come to realize through actual play that Night of the Walking Dead isn't really well-suited as-is for play by post, which I could conceivably fix by altering significant parts of the second act. Unfortunately, that would require more time and effort than I currently have to spare.
The second section as-is really calls for the players to explore and look for clues to piece together the mystery of what's going on, and the response to that hasn't really been enthusiastic.
I do apologize. Had I realized earlier that the adventure was more of a "fixer-upper" and not really ready to play out of the box on PbP, I probably could have done something about it. But for now I'm prepared to let it go as a failed experiment and take a lot of lessons away from it.
My apologies again to everyone and thanks for playing.
Oh no. Sorry to hear that guys. It was a good reach while it lasted!
Thanks for the game everybody
No problem, and thanks for the game! Look forward to playing with everyone again.
