I love how Queshem thinks.
Probably won't be able to post today.
It happens. I'll be camping so I won't be posting much this weekend either.
Enjoying things?
Well Queshem's life is certainly complicated! I'm always worried I'm not doing well by her though! But it's fun.
You are her, so you can't go wrong. I do find it difficult to guess what she is going to do in any given situation though.
I hope I play her consistently. What do you think?
Also what do you think of how talky the campaign is? Queshem cares about what her crew thinks and always wants to talk a situation through first so that's probably what's doing it?
People talking around tables is my bread and butter. I could literally run a whole game like this.
How would you win in such a game? :)
By being the last person left at the table.
Win or die.
I'd prefer "Magic Agreement Party" myself (google it if you want!).
Has Queshem convinced anyone of anything in all her blather?
Sense Motive can be used but I hope I am being clear in their replies?
Busy day today. Will try and post.
Ok!
I am going on a vacation for a week starting tomorrow! I think I will be able to keep up with a once a day pace but maybe not!
Thanks for the heads up! Have fun.
Hope everything's going well with you.
Tech issues...
Hah, yeah the boards have been terrible lately.
Ok, delays should be over.
Darkvision of some sort is kind of important to a stealth night mission!
Guess I should make the best of a non ideal situation. Will try and post something tomorrow.
I'm torn between pushing on and calling the whole thing. Going blind into a dark mansion full of hostiles while relying on an unreliable ally very far from safety and with a whole lot of hostile guards she doesn't want to hurt one slip up away from being alerted is getting to be too much risk for even Queshem's appetite.
I am curious how you expected this to go. Were you hoping to catch him
midnight strolling among the roses?
My oversight of darkvision is what's really killed the issue. If it was just one Gnarea being unreliable or not being able to see in the dark then that would be one thing. But both together is giving me the willies. Already made a mistake of being aggressive by pushing inland back at Mgange Cove and this is starting to give me a similar vibe.
The fault is entirely mine.
Hi, so, are you waiting on me? Sorry I think my whining's gotten to you? :) :p
No, it is all my fault, I just need to get back into the swing of things...
Sorry for a delay in posting. I had a patron at my library threaten to shoot me today. I'm a bit shaken.
Wow. At a library? That is scary. Yeah no worries about a delay at all. If you need to take a break that's perfectly understandable.
How're you doing? Hope the weekened treated you well?
Yeah, it was a good weekend. Not much happened, why do you ask?
Just hoping that what happened on Friday is fast fading into an unpleasant memory.
Oh, if you work with the public enough you sadly get used to it. In America gun violence is sadly just part of the territory. Not a big fan myself but currently sane people are in 'survival' mode.
This just happened to Queshem, if you are confused-
I really like this game.
Thanks, I'm really enjoying it too.
Out of curiosity, what is it that you look for in these things?
What do you mean exactly?
As in, what do you look for in a good game as opposed to a disappointing one.
Oh. Well, the list starts with player enjoyment. If the player is having fun I can almost always play off of that and enjoy myself. I like games where the players choices really change the game.
For example, in another game my player decided to take the evil deal with a Spirit Naga out of the blue. I had to literally rip up my notes because it was such a left-turn but ti makes it a great game.
This game is a great example for that. You are making choices you aren't even aware of that is effecting every NPC around you. Some events are going to happen that only happened because you did X instead of Y.
Also, I like games were characters make tough choices. Right now, one of my characters is fighting some paladins to save his friend. ironically, despite fighting, neither side really wants to kill the other. Tough moral choices are the bread and butter of games.
Also, I like going to interesting/exotic locations.
What do you look for?
Man today was one crazier day than expected. Back tomorrow!
Good. Looking forward, I think this will be an exciting segment...
As for what I look for in games? Aside from the obvious of regular updates from the people I'm playing with....
It's a bit of a hard question to answer actually. Realism from the people I'm playing with and the NPCs and the world. Verisimilitude is the word for it I believe.
And Escapism I think.
Does this game supply?
Also, I've been planning this confrontation for months. It almost happened a few times but you always managed to put it off just a little bit longer.
Another crazy day and you do make it so I need to spend hours thinking of a post worthy of Queshem :).
No rush.
The game certainly delivers verisimilitude in spades. That's what I think I love about the idea of P&P rpgs, the idea that if something could reasonably happen then it can with just a few words. I really appreciate how you adjust to my sometimes crazy plans for Queshem and to her long winded chatty ways.
As for Escapism, I won't lie, sometimes this game is pretty stressful (I get too invested in my characters and I have a huge weakness for happy endings), but everything that happens is, again, reasonable given the setting and that's all I can ask for.
Plus I'm getting a bit better about letting bad things happen to fictional characters. I think you need to do that to be a good, or even decent, writer.
I think this counts as a bad thing?
Game info in Campaign Tab updated.
Another busy day.
