Wrath of the Kobolds!

Game Master Mackenzie Kavanaugh

I can do that, GM :)

Thought it best to post here sense IC Ixen would not know about the scales abilities. I would prefer Ixen get the resistance scale. Anyone else interested in it?

I have no plans as to what I get.

I'd like to have one of the Sacred Weaponry ones if possible.

I'd prefer an alter self scale.

Either the second Alter Self scale or the Cloudwalking scale would probably be the best options for Malzii; I'm not picky though :)

Good to see that all four kinds are wanted. Hopefully the ones I picked at random to be duplicates were the 'right' ones.

I could take any of them.

Alter self seems suiting, but considering how my stats look, fairly unneeded.

Sacred weaponry won't be of much use, but will allow me to pierce DR, and since I lack any bonus to base damage, could be useful as well.

None of them are of too much use to me, but that's because my build is really odd.

While Sacred Weaponry would strike me as the most useful for my character, I am honestly open to any of them. Okay, to recap:

Ixen Resistance
Dra'zaak Sacred Weaponry
Gunnarrex Alter Self
Malzii Alter Self or Cloudwalking
Aardiac no preference
Taalik no preference

It seems like the first three are pretty clear wants and we have no crazy overlaps of desires for any one specific choice, so leaves an Alter Self, a Cloudwalking, and a Sacred Weaponry to cover us last three. @Malzii given more time, did you have a preference between the Alter Self or the Cloudwalking? If not, @Aardiac and @Malzii, are you two cool with the below?

Malzii Cloudwalking
Aardiac Alter Self
Taalik Sacred Weaponry

I have no preference.

Rotten meat? Sounds good to me.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a trait that would let you eat rotten food, so I just with with resilient.

I don't know if the maggot's meat is rotten or not - its just maggot meat. Certainly disgusting, but Dra'zaak wouldn't risk eating rotten spider meat.

I'm talking about the spider. ^_^

(Aardiac likes rotten stuff. She has a black dragon's tastes.)

Dra'zaak prefers pickled foods over rotten ones. His stomach can't quite handle the latter, but he loves the briney taste of pickles! (Pickled meats, mind you, not picked cucumbers)

Aardiac's stomach can't handle rotten food, either... She likes it nonetheless, and they'd to be mildly annoyed that she can't eat it without often getting sick.

Kobolds are carnivores, but they probably do tend to prefer their meat cooked (and perhaps slightly charred) just like true dragons. That said... the maggots are freshly killed and certainly not rotten, though the same can't be said for the spider.

Black-Kobold here! We like our meat pickled, like black dragons! Red Dragons would preferred it charred. White Dragons prefer it frozen, and Blue Dragons.. like horses? Oh wait no thats 3.5e Brown Dragons. Blue dragons eat human food.. and humans.

So how many days worth of food do you think I could get out of the maggots? (Mmm)

I wonder if Aardiac is bias becuase of living off of the generosity of travelers for a while.

... Nah.

It's amusing how none of the NPCs, not even Aravashnial, who is an 18 Int wizard with 6 languages known, can speak Draconic.

Hahahahahha. I assumed he would be able to understand me.

Heh, yeah.

... Why am I awake to read this?

It's 4:36 am!

Couple things I would like to bring up as possibilities:

1. It has been suggested that I use Roll20 for our game mat, which would make it easier for players to indicate their movement and easier for me to modify where people are and what can be seen than using static images. Would anyone object?

2. It has also been suggested that we use a group initiative and simply go in posting order. (All players get a turn, then all monsters get a turn, or other way around, whichever player posts first acts first.) Any thoughts on this or other suggestions? Or are people happy with the current system?

3. I've been trying to post about once per day to give everyone time to post, would you like me to instead post new content as long as at least 4-5 players have posted their actions, to keep things bustling along?

1) never used it, myself. Donno If it's good. But if you want to use it, sure.

2) this can work, I've been in a campaign that's done it.

3) this can be good. I have no issue with it, but I'm a fast poster.

(1) At least one other PBP I play in uses roll20 and I've never had any problems with it. I'd say go for it!

(2) Group/block initiatives would be easier, I think. I've usually seen it divided up like: <Players Who Beat the Monster>, <Monster>, <Players Who Didn't Beat the Monster>. When it's the player's turn, everyone just posts their actions and the GM resolves the order that things occurred in at the end of the round.

(3) I'm fine with more GM posts to keep things moving along, but primarily if YOU are able and willing to do that. I'd rather not burn the GM out if posting more than once or twice a day is going to be difficult for them. I can't speak for the other PCs, but what I do nowadays is separate my posts into sections. If someone did or said something that my character would have responded to but the action has since progressed, I'll do something like this:

<ooc>Past<ooc>

*My character reacts to something that happened earlier*

<ooc>Present<ooc>

*My character reacts to what's happening now*

It's not perfect, but it seems to work well enough. I've not had anyone tell me to cut it out, at any rate.

Sounds good all the way around! On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays my posts might be short and sweet though, since I have particularly busy schedules on those days and will be getting home tired and probably not in the mood for a more intricate post.

I'm just asking what will work best for everyone, so we're all happy and accommodated. The current pace is perfectly good, I just want to be sure we actually finish this some day! (I've had a couple face-to-face games die after only the first book, and don't want a repeat.)

Yeah.

I've run quite a few now dead games.

Hopefully, the two I'm running will see a proper end.

1. Love Roll20, use it for all my games now. Yes, please.

2. Definitely. Saves tons of time, and easier for you to summarize at the bottom of the round as well!

3. I'd be happy if you post new content when at least two people have posted and no one has opposed. We're in for a long, long dungeon crawl at the beginning of WotR, and dungeon crawls kill PBPs. More updates = better, people will post when they have time. They won't post if there are no updates from the GM.

These are of course my personal opinions, but just check my main profile to see how many games I've run on PBP and how many of them have failed. Learn from my mistakes! ;)

Hopefully with Ixen and I scouting (and at least myself taking a proactive lead in scouting) we can keep things moving along nicely even in a dungeon crawl.

Sounds like we are all in support of your suggestions, so keep on rockin'!

I am fine with anything you guys want to do suggestionwise. :)

@Gunnarrex
How do you know common or speak it?

Okay, I put together a game map on Roll20, link is in campaign info and right here.

Alright then.

You may want to put that link in the campaign heading where you have the WotR Kobold Edition up. That way we don't have to look for it all the time. ;)

Gonna have to agree with Ixen! Right in the campaign heading is a perfect spot for it.

Like that?

@Gunnarrex
How do you know common or speak it?

All PCs speak common and their racial language, unless there's a houserule here I'm unaware of.

Ahhh, just looked at Kobolds more closely. I guess I don't speak common. Fine, make my racism even better.

Feel free to use the drawing tools to show your character's movement in Roll20. Also, it will help if I can associate everyone's name there with their character, so that I can you grant control of your token. Not everyone's username is obvious.

I'm Adam.

If that's what you need.

Dra'zaak is Crustypeanut.

Malzii/Krilotkrin is Kristin W. :)

I should be me.

I modified my name it Taalik A. on roll20

My name should be displayed now.

Bit busy with work today, probably won't have a post up until tonight at the soonest.

Ok.

please ingnore the other "adam".

i kinda broke some stuff.

i should have it fixed now.

turns out it just doesnt work on mobile things at all.

Alrighty, I'm off to sleep in preparation to work tonight. Since we're still in combat, please feel free to bot Malzii/Kril as necessary. If things are slow I might be able to post something during the night but if not, I'll catch up Sunday after I've had some sleep :)

Moving offices at work, and my tablet is less than ideal for posting gameplay content, so I shan't be posting until tonight.

Not going to be able to post until tomorrow evening, feel free to DMPC me if necessary.

Hey guys apologies for the lack of posting, this week's labs have been kicking my ass and I've been a bit too pooped to post. Tomorrow is an easy day, however, so I'll have a post up then.

Just trying to get used to standing around working on vehicles for a few hours at a time. Need new shoes.. mine are worn out to s++#. Feet hurt, tired.. bleurgh.
