Heaven's Agent here. I believe this character is finished and ready for the game; let me know if you have any questions, and I'll see if I can't answer them.

As an aside, I still need to think of a name for my eidolon. Should anyone have any ideas, feel free to voice them.

I like your concept and background for a Summoner . It promises to be an interesting character.

My suggestion for a name would be any of the names that witches and wizards are recorded as giving their familiars (Variations on popular names of the devil usually e.g Harry , Nick , Robin or to go with the fairy theme that drayen and I went for you might want to go for Puck) . Luther was also a popular favourite after the Reformation in Catholic witches' testimonies after the Reformation for obvious reasons .

Not very awe-inspiring but it would be semi-realistic ;)

Sorry to double post . Something more 'classically' demonic (do you have a favourite type of demon/devil to encounter in D&D ? Or a demonic NPC that you particularly enjoyed ?) or Lovecraftian (Tindalos ? I don't know much about the mythos but it's kind of reminiscent of the hounds of Tindalos in some ways) might also work and it makes a good point about your character keeping his family's demonic birthright/curse in check through being a summoner. These might give you some more ideas for a name ....


This is the alias I (roguemoon) have made for my monk. Should Ka'apeha be accepted (and I do hope so!).

Silver Crusade

Okay, I've been a little busier at work than I expected, but I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the game is still on schedule.

Has everyone that's playing sent me their final character? If you haven't emailed it, you can definitely make an alias here, but do me a favour and make a post after this one reminding me that you've done it?

Once I'm sure I have everyone's character, I'm going to send out an email with the adventure intro, so please make sure I have your email address, and then next Sunday (Dec 12), we can try out the first game session. For that day, I'm really hoping to just clear out the inevitable bugs any online game has to start, but if it goes well we can get into the adventure itself.

Looking forward to it...

Sent you an e-mail about 40 mins ago. I'll have my background done in the next day or two. I will e-mail you with it as well as post on this character.


I was just about to post to make sure we were still good to go. My profile is complete, but I'll also see about sending you an email.

EDIT Email sent.

Also definitely looking forward to it :) Artemisia is my final character and this is her full character sheet . I'll send you an email again just in case . I'm definitely looking forward to the game :)

Uriel, I sent you an e-mail a few days ago. Just want to confirm you received it.


Okay, description, background, deity and words of power are up on this character sheet. I also e-mailed you the background, Uriel. For future reference I do not recommend writing a background while listening to the soundtrack for Before Sunrise/Before Sunset as well as various Corrs and Nightwish songs.

Silver Crusade

Okay, time for the final player list:

  • Pyry Lemminkainen (Drayen), a human ice-mage (sorcerer).
  • Artemisia (Adrien), a Chelaxian cleric of Shelyn.
  • Ulkrith Vossare (Heaven's Agent), a half-orc summoner, and Asins, his eidolon.
  • Ka'apeha Sahin, a half-elven Keleshite (ex?)monk
  • Garrison Nikold, a half-orc alchemist.

I haven't received final characters from anyone else. It's a good group as it stands, though I'll have to retool a few things due to a lack of a rogue, or a bard. The melee side should be covered off by Sahin and Asins, and you've got magic coming out of your ears.

@Reckless I don't seem to have a background for Garrison. Have you written one yet?

Dark Archive

Updated my Ventrilo to the most recent version. I recommend that we all get on the same version, so if someone cannot update to the most currect vesion, please let the group know so we can get on your version.

Do we have someone to host a ventrilo server? If not, I will look at doing it, but I'll need to know what countries everyone is in. I know Adrien is in GB and Uriel is in CA. What about Heaven's Agent, Roguemoon and Reckless?

D20PRO should be up and running when I get home from work tonight. I'll play with it and get my character sheet up and sent to you, Uriel.

I've just downloaded Version 3.0.7 for Mac . Still need to register for D20 Pro but I'll be doing it in the next couple of days. Now that I've downloaded Ventrillo do I need to do anything else in order to join the server (i.e setting up a username or the like ?) ? The Help section wasn't very informative

I don't know anything about ventrilo servers. We'll wait and see.


RE: Vent

Downloading the latest tonight. let me know about servers so I can join in properly on the 12th.

RE: d20Pro

what, if anything, do I need to do for this? I'm using a guest pass or something right? does this program do the die rolling as well?

It does seem to roll the dice as it's demo states you can customize the color of your dice.

I just started reading Winter Witch and got to page 58. Should I continue reading this book as I am playing an ice mage? I don't want to spoil any surprises you have planned for the game.

Heh. The only problem is, I'm not going to get a chance to read that book until after Christmas, so...

Feel free to read it, and I may incorporate some elements, but any secret plot-points revealed in that book will be non-canon for the adventure. In other words, if it turns out that Baba Yaga is actually an alien, or that aboleths are the true rulers of Irrisen, don't expect that to hold true in the game.

I'm downloading D20 Pro tonight to be in time for the game . Very much looking forward to it and I've also ordered Winter Witch but like Uriel I won't get a chance to read it until after Christmas .

! Excited !

Slightly bemused by my inability to create an account . It says "Connection refused" . Could it be because I'm behind a firewall (probably) on a university network ?

I had that same thing happen when I just tried to put in a user name of my choice and then tried to log on with the default IP address. I think you need to look to the bottom of the screen and create account from the button there. I havn't done it yet, but it may be what you need to do.

I've tried both ways , creating an account from the bottom of the screen and the "Select a licence" option . Both of them end with 'Connection refused' once I go through the process...I'll see if it's a case of activating my account through an email link , if not I might need a Guest licence (Not sure). It could be that the firewall is the problem , I'm not sure either

After looking at the Help section I think I will be able to play/connect for a month using the Free Trial version . Connecting just seems to require creating an alias for the game and knowing the IP address of the server the game is played on (given by the DM) in much the same way that Telnet games and games using WebRPG used to be played

So I'll be alright for a while hopefully . Let me know if I've misunderstood .

A Quick Update:

Okay, my work schedule has changed, slightly. The short version is that I'm going to be busy right up to Christmas, but should go back to normal after the holidays. What this means is I won't be able to get in the game sessions I'd planned in December.

Lest you think the game is a lost cause, however, I've created a website for the game which has some information already, and which I'll try to keep updated over the holidays.

Sorry for the delay, but this really isn't something I can blow off, and I'm really looking forward to this game. A plus to this is, it's a chance to pick up some new players, too.

Too bad about having to cancel until after Christmas. We'll just have more time to discuss who is going to host a vetrilo server and get everyone up on d20pro.

Scarab Sages

Agreed . I'm really excited about the game but I don't mind waiting as long as necessary :) I'll check out the website in the meantime

Thanks for letting us know .


Indeed, thanks for the heads-up. I'm looking forward to this game as well; do what you need to do, and I'll be ready to get underway when you're done.


Currently unexpectedly stranded in London (due to the weather) but I'll be flying out tomorrow hopefully . Looking forward to the game when it starts ! :)

Silver Crusade

Okay, THE SHOW WILL GO ON!

Sorry again for the delay, but the game is good to go for this Sunday. In order to show your interest (and really, I'll understand if the delay has put you off), please drop me an email, or post to the message board here, or just post in this thread.

The Vent server is up, but I'm having some issues with d20pro. Hopefully it'll be sorted by game night, but otherwise handouts will be through the website, and rolls will be on the honour system :)

Looking forward to the game!


Pyry Lemminkainen reporting for duty, sir! I'll be there on Sinday at 4 pm CST.

It has been exactly 2 days since I last posted and no one else has responded. I'm sure they're still interested, but the boards have been very slow this weekend with people out celebrating the new year. I am assuming at this point that we don't have a game today.

Silver Crusade

Sigh.

You're probably right. I can't complain, of course, since I was the one to delay the game this far...

We'll reschedule for next week. If you're interested, I'll run the adventure with just you if I have to. I'd hate to see this game go the way of so many others.

Let's wait and see how people post this week. I'm sure that we'll get at least some of the folks back.


Sorry for my absence; my holidays continued through yesterday, and I was without a computer over the entirety of the weekend.

I'm very interested in getting things moving once more. For the moment Sunday is good for me, but the drywall should be finished at my house by then; I may have to spend my weekend painting. I'll let you know as soon as I am aware should I be unable to join the group.

As an aside, what is the time frame we're looking at for the game? Has it changed from our original plans?


Maybe I scared everyone off; will we be trying to play this weekend, then, or are we going to call things off?


Hey guys, I have vent, D20pro player license, and hero lab for pathfinder. If you need a player, we might be able to work it out. I am in Okinawa, Japan so we will need to work out a time we can all live with. Are you guys doing the 5th level thing? I will make up a character just in case we can make this happen.

I am going to run this, by GOD! Ulkrith, I sent you an email too, but what time on Sunday works best for you?

Bilbo... you're more than welcome, but you're also, what, twelve hours off from me? Still, if you can make the game, you're more than welcome. First level characters, and the "Player's Guide" and all the other resources you'll need are higher up in the thread. Send me your Hero Lab character here: uriel222@yahoo.ca.

Good news! My video card went out last night. I'm going to try to replace it tomorrow, but I don't hold out hope that I'll have it done in time for a game.
