Oh, I have a 2 month old at home. Enough free time to PbP, not enough to play a real game.

By the way Milo, I play Ron in Volsung's campaign.

All the more pressure to make Conwall the Swashbuckling Fighter and Milo the Roguish Thief distinct characters.

You're MCKhaos, right? I actually followed your links from Reddit to find these boards at all. Thanks for the lead, I'm having a blast.

Mooshy, it's important to the Channeler's mechanics to know when his Elemental is hit for damage. The amount doesn't matter, but every time the elemental takes damage I lose 1 control. So keep me informed if the Yeti starts to lash out at the Elemental.

I never answered this. Yup, that's me.

I will bear that in mind!

Mooshy, we've been letting my elementals "dissolve" in the past, but this one is explicitly hostile, and I have not taken the move to "reabsorb" them. So there is basically nothing in the mechanics other than this: When you have 0 Control, your elemental is released! It acts on its own, can use its tag at will, and its HP is 2x your level. Maybe it's friendly, hostile, mischievous, or just bored.

Note that when I summoned it with the 7-9, I chose this option: It resents you and will certainly be hostile later . Its tag is "forceful".

So, this should be interesting!


Updating later tonight!

Dhice prods Archepex with his elbow and raises a quizzical eyebrow at him.

Wife and I juuuust had our second child (another boy) so I may get distracted here. I'm off work though, so I might just post more. Who knows!

Thanks. I think we're expecting full crazy but of course you're never really prepared for the reality.

And I've just arrived in a different country.

Then again, my character is about as unconscious as I am from the redeye. Still, posting might be a tinsy bit slower.

Relax, I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts.

Can you show me where it hurts?

I don't think they have a doll that shows one's spleen erupting out the back on the end of a quarrel like a hastily skewered hot dog.


Hay all, I'm updating in about an hour or so, just had to catch up at work. Didn't post yesterday due to the 4th of July being a day off for me.


Sorry boys and girls I'm ill today. Update coming tomorrow

no prob. Get better soon!


Hey guys, side note unrelated to this campaign: I'm starting up a Dungeon World campaign on Roll20. Unlike the play-by-post games I run, it'll be in real time and only held once a week for about 4-5 hours each session, so I'm going to make sure it doesn't interfere with any of my existing campaigns on these forums. I haven't settled on which night it will be happening yet but I know that it will happen between Monday night and Thursday night. I don't have the ability to do it on Friday-Sunday because that's when I have custody of my kid.

Just gauging interest from people that I know are good roleplayers and are familiar with the system.

The setting will be the city of Salt in Wounds, a setting that I found from a creative poster on Reddit. It's a city built inside the constantly-regenerating corpse of a "dead" Tarrasque. I'll be using information from the above link for city design, factions, and monsters, but the story will be homebrewed by me.

I wish I could, but my schedule prevents any live games. :(

I really wish that I could join Mooshy!


Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |

Yeah, my life can't support a live game. Good luck!

Ditto for me, I already play in a live game every other Thursday, and that's about the limit for me.

Best of luck!

Same, here. RL prevents regular live play, but thanks for the offer!


Apologies for not updating last Friday, had a big slamma jamma of a day at work. I'm getting on top of it just now by today and I'll be posting an update later on in the day.

Really sorry guys, updating tomorrow. Had a compulsion to see my son tonight and spent all of my after work time with him. I just got home and I'm too tired to update. Hate missing update days, but I'll make it up to everybody.

Don't worry man, the worst thing you can do is make the game feel like a burden. Just let it go, update when it feels right.

Down the other path lies madness (or at least burnout).

Lyntel, I have no bonds with you written down. There ought to be at least one, which I think has already been established to some extent:

Lyntel respects my magic and is eager to learn more. I should find opportunities to collaborate with her to grow our combined knowledge.

Your thoughts?

Sounds great to me. My current bond with Dhice is "I fear that Dhice sees me as weak and helpless." I think that one is ripe for resolution at the next end of session.

Cool. And yes, I agree that you could probably resolve that bond asap.

Hi all. So what's the plan for integrating Milo? Typically in DW we'd establish bonds with new characters, invent some kind of backstory that ties things together.

The whole "I have no real reason to trust this guy / no reason to want him along but he's in the party so I guess we'll just metagame it" thing is something I had hoped to leave behind me in the D&D world.

Hmm...

Captive on probation/short leash?
Enemy of my enemy is my friend?
Take whatever help we can get?
One party member agrees to take responsibility for him?
Desperate times call for desperate measures? (Otherwise known as Emma)

Maybe Milo has some sort of knowledge/background/skill that's necessary for the next segment of our quest? Alternatively, I can scrap Milo and roll someone else who is better integrated in to the group (maybe an Elven Ranger assigned to the group to fight the Skaven or something?


Human Channeler 5 | Attunement: Air| XP 7 | S-1 D 0 C+3 I+1 W+1 (*0) C+1 | HP 28 /28 | Armor 1 (temp: 0) | Elemental Control: 3 | Defend:0

I'm not at all trying to push you to abandon the character, I just think that with some creativity we can make the story tighter in a way that makes some sense.

With Emma we found her deep underground and had no real choice but to work with her for a while. The common enemy was immediately established. A level of "trust" emerged from a place where we initially had no choice.

With Milo, we have Archepex trying to establish some ground rules but Milo is non-committal about his agreement. It's compounded by the fact that he's not a declared enemy of the Skaven (he seems to not care about them one way or the other).

The "we need this skillset" is a workable solution for sure.


Invisible, All-Seeing Elven Ranger 4 | HP 21/21 |Armor:2 | XP:5 | Str:9(0) Dex:18(+3) Con:13(0) Int:12(0) Wis:16(+2) Cha: 8(-1) Spells: (Rote) Guidance, Sanctify, Light | Lvl 1: Magic Weapon, Bless, CLW

I think Milo can become a member of the team just as Emma did. He just needs to prove himself, like Dhice did. Having a thief around can't hurt, that's for sure.


Male Human Level 1 Thief HP 14/18 XP 3/8 Armor 1 | STR -1 | DEX 2 | CON 0 | INT 0 | WIS 1 | CHA 1 |

Either way. I'm not feeling pushed, by the way. I just want to do what's best for the story. If it helps, I can retcon his backstory a little bit, make him a war orphan or something of the like. Give him a dog in this fight.


I was on a 3 day weekend vacation yesterday. I'm trying to get caught up, but I've been struggling at work lately and it's killing my creative energy a little bit. Will post asap.

Hey all. Since you're all so patient with me (and I do very much appreciate that), I've made a decision.

Rather than half-ass this break and come back today, before I feel fully ready to, I'm taking the rest of the week off.

Updates will resume in full next Monday. I promise, I'll be fully 100% again by then, and my posts will continue as normal. Just need a bit of a break week to let my brain relax and re-gather some creative inspiration.

I'll be spending the free time this week reading, mostly, and collecting ideas that I can use in characterization, plot, and setting.

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Sure thing, gotta keep the creativity up.

In case this might be helpful, I'm sure the group would be happy to brainstorm on ideas too. Do you want to "ask questions, use the answers?"

Whatever you need, Mooshy, including and not limited to forum games. :)

Hey all, just letting everyone know that I feel very refreshed and revitalized after taking a week away from the forums entirely. I've got a lot to catch up on, but I've begun working on just that, and I hope to have updated every campaign I'm part of by early afternoon. Thanks for your patience once again.


Invisible, All-Seeing Elven Ranger 4 | HP 21/21 |Armor:2 | XP:5 | Str:9(0) Dex:18(+3) Con:13(0) Int:12(0) Wis:16(+2) Cha: 8(-1) Spells: (Rote) Guidance, Sanctify, Light | Lvl 1: Magic Weapon, Bless, CLW

No worries. :)

Have we had an end of session move yet?


No, but one is coming up, don't worry.

Archepex, could you put your max HP in your tag line? It will make it easier for me to coordinate healing.

It appears to me that Emma's player is wanting to address her character's darkness. She was trying to blatantly murder a prisoner in our care. I don't know what her player's motivation is, but I suggest if she is willing to be act so brazenly against the obvious wishes of several of the characters, we should focus on what's going on with Emma in our next plot.

Thoughts?
