Shards of the Titanswar

Game Master EldonG

The ruined monastery is exactly one of those places parents warn their children about. I wonder why...

Opening discussion.

Liberty's Edge

Cauis, I'm assuming you've been in the area...enough to have been at the festival before. I'd like to see backstory from everyone... I DO make the game somewhat custom, based on backstories... if you're even a little bit known and trusted, it'll matter.

I'll pen mine down soon, but Reiko is a wandering warrior from Tian Xia. He is looking for some sort of weapon or power that will give his clan more strength to defend itself against clan wars and and political struggle.

Liberty's Edge

Guys, if you know anyone who might like to play a caster, I'd like to have one in the game before we start rolling... it looks like my friend will have to be added later...

I asked my wife but she said she's too busy with school.

Liberty's Edge

Thanks...anybody else? Mythic caster...mmmmm...


I may be able to play a caster. Which classes do you envision? Arcane? Divine? A mixture? Is this going to be a single party? What do we have so far?


Also, http://invisiblecastle.com/stats/grid/ appears to be offline since last night... In the absence of this site, should I just make the tic-tac-toe grid and place my rolls in order as I roll them?

Liberty's Edge

Single party, 4 so far...Magus the only non pure martial.

You know, a mythic mystic theurge might not be half bad. Dual path hierophant and archmage and you might have a solid character...

I'll work on posting a backstory tomorrow under Cauis' homepage, but basically Cauis is a woodsman/lumberjack and has been to the festival before (probably does a bit of trade with the merchants and farmers: wood for sheep:P

Liberty's Edge

We should have a female elf wizard joining tonight or tomorrow... :)

Most have just rolled here and assembled stats.


Female Elf Wizard

Howdy y'all. I am the female elf wizard Eldon mentioned. I am his father in real life. We have been playing together off and on for many, many years. Glad to be onboard. :)

Hey hey! My father and I have played dnd since I was about seven, lol. Good to meet a couple of people with the same background! I am glad to be involved in this, I was really looking forward to playing alongside EldonG in another pbp, but the GM didn't pick him for some crazy reason. I even voted for him. Good to meet you!

Liberty's Edge

OK...just so it's stated...post once a day if you can...2—3 times...or more, when appropriate, is preferred... if the group is in an encounter and I don't get a post from anyone in that day, I'll assume they're attending to something minor that seems important, and move on. Don't worry about initiative order unless it really matters for you...I can adjust. If you miss more than 2—3 days without notifying me, I'll assume you're dropping out, and consider a replacement... so let me know in advance if you can. If you need a long hiatus, I can make arrangements for that.

That being said, there may be times that the game goes on hiatus...it's a long campaign, and life happens. I may have problems, or folks may just need time. I want to see this to the end,so if we take a break, I'll try to keep in touch. Hopefully it'll be pre-planned.

Let's have a blast!


Female Half Elf Shaman

Hello everybody, EldonG recruited me in another thread to fill the role of your divine caster. I'm trying out the ACG shaman class, one that is a hybrid of the witch and druid. Liandoli right now is a caster with decent combat abilities, but as the game progresses she will focus all of her abilities on her spellcasting.

I don't have the background completely done yet, but here's the short version: She's a half-elf bastard who was abandoned by her mother and shunned by her father so she fled into the wilderness.

Much more detail to come on that later, don't worry. Looking forward to getting started!

Liberty's Edge

Feel free to join gameplay, Liandoli. :)


Female Half Elf Shaman

I have finished her fluff, feel free to take a look at it in her profile. Always appreciate thoughts and feedback, from anybody!

so ironically enough i built Doran with the titan mauler archetype without reading the description for the game. Hopefully we fight tons of big baddies. I want him to wield the weapons of his TITANIC FOES!

Liberty's Edge

Lol! Doran will be well satisfied... I'll leave it at that. ;)

Liberty's Edge

My friend hasn't been answering messages for a couple of days...I'll insert him when I can, if I ever get the chance. In the meantime, I'm moving into the meat of it...

Liberty's Edge

When this encounter is over, I'd like any thoughts on the game so far...likes, dislikes, things you think might make the game better...I do this at every tabletop session I run, and I'm new at PBP. I have definite limitations... right now, I'm working with a sad little android tablet... but I'm hoping to get something better ASAP.

I'll have access to a real computer over the weekend and hope to do a couple of rather important maps...the village.. the valley...maybe some more of importance... The Giant's Mug would be simple, but nice. I'm open to suggestions... but I won't have access to the world map. Sorry 'bout that.

I always appreciate constructive criticism.

Liberty's Edge

OK...2300 xp...or 383 @...and a bonus of 100 xp @ for Miriam coming out of it basically unhurt.

Nice first fight, from my point of view. Sorry about the extended nap, Doran. :-|

OK...tell me like it is...


Female Half Elf Shaman

I am brutally honest when people ask for constructive criticism. So know here that I'm pulling no punches.

The only thing I didn't like was the lack of a map, which is something you are already working on fixing. As a fellow DM who puts a lot of details into the storyline, I like how you gave us a feel for the characters, like the Sheriff's little habits. Good job!

So 483 apiece? And the only thing that would make it better is a map, though your npc's and story are top notch. I really enjoy the depth of the npc's and story so far.

Liberty's Edge

Yup, 483...pretty big fight. (There were 12 Com2s...)

Liberty's Edge

Ok, first map is complete. I decided against color, for time considerations.

Lakeroot

Liberty's Edge

No comments on the map? Is it like you expected?


1 person marked this as a favorite.
Female Half Elf Shaman

Sorry, busy day. Yeah the map looks great, I don't really care about the lack of color either.

Will you be making battle maps as well?

Liberty's Edge

As I can, yes. The next few should be pretty easily covered.

Yeah, the map is excellent. I love the use of graph paper. I do the same thing for my games

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Commoner 2

like it too :)

Yea I think the map looks really good. Especially being a home grown, I hope see maps for combat being play by post loses alot of fluidity compared to f2f. Maps help to make the descriptions easier to understand.

Liberty's Edge

The Giant's Mug

Not all of the furniture was added...

This is just the ground floor. There is a second floor.

Liberty's Edge

Ok...I have something I'd like to put out there for everyone - I have some home-designed critters that don't follow normal rules...and I have special rules for them.

This is nothing new...but I don't want to start into something and have folks freaking out on me...not all of them are playetested, either...but I've been doing this stuff for decades. You can expect that I might push the party a bit, but I won't overwhelm you.

Just bear with me if you have an encounter that seems a bit off...and trust that I've thought it through.

no problem it's a fantasy setting. I imagine a lot of the creatures in the bestiary aren't uber balanced. My house game i'm playing a dwarfling (halfling raised by dwarves) barbarian. Our group killed a mob of 15 goblins plus their boss. with little damage taken. We then later ran through a stagnate stream and a water strider swarm did 5 damage to each of us and 2 points of str damage. the wizard was in negative hit points. my point is make it fun and people won;t care. Doran will swing his axe until the baddies or himself is dead.

I create new bad guys all the time. I've been playing for so long, I get tired of using the same monsters. I'm looking forward to it!

this is a really cool story so far. by far the best RP content from a homegrown ive seen in a pbp setting. kudos

Liberty's Edge

I really appreciate that. This being my first pbp, I'm still testing the format. :)

Yeah, this is great. I now wish I had made a more fun character. I feel kind of locked in with the whole honorable warrior thing now. Perhaps I'll have all of this carnage and death affect his mind some and have him change up a bit.

Liberty's Edge

Reiko just a heads up, when I do pbps I usually have my characters bond extra close with a character and rival another one to bring more dynamic to the group. Hopefully doran isnt trolling you but reiko's affinity for pageantry is kinda the complete opposite of the axe swinging beat stick im playing my half orc as

Ah no, it's all good. Character interaction is a great thing, whether it's friendship or rivalry. I just want to round him out a bit more. I like my characters to have a lot of personality, and role play potential.

Liberty's Edge

Guys, feel free to explore your characters all you like. Who knows what secrets Reiko holds back? :)

Well "He" is an elf after all lol

Next map, this one shows a lot more.

Mappy time!
