Got it! Dot in folks!
Dot!
Welcome all.... Dot!
There is something wrong with the gameplay thread. Julian will you try to post in there? I hope this thread isn't broken:(
Hey, wazzup Merelinda? Moonscar slowed down, i'm sorry about that! It will pick up again once Sandin comes back. He is MIA from a couple of our games.
dot, dot, dot, it's like a new game or something
Just tried, no sticky... :(
What's up!? What is this Moonscar you speak of? Is this a case of mistaken identity? :P
Oh my gosh, yes it IS mistaken identity! Sorry. There is another "Silvertounge" player out there and right now she's killing succubuses on the moon with me.
You are a NEEEEEW friend *hugs*
*Hugs* Best friends always try to kill each other with hostile snake people bent on world domination.
yea I couldn't get on "gameplay" either hey The Emerald Duke I mean Julian... I don't want yelled at my first "flurry of Posts"
speaking of which. Rhea, may I call you Rhea? Is it ok if Ivar is part of the crew, I almost changed his trait to Jenivere Crew but I didn't want to give up the cool tattoo and the +1 to the will.
Julain won't bother him, Ivar sailed with corsairs and he's very much a live and let live sort of fella.
*rolls eyes* serpents I know not off, lass... I am just hoping to get back to the Shackles and ... kill that treacherous woman and take back my ship! ;)
Ivar, you just make that character exactly the way you want it! I can't wait to see what stories you create in the game.
Dam that gameplay thread! I need to fix that, and also get the tactical map up before we can start.
I also want to get your buyin on a special pbp houserule which I believe you will like...
oh? And don't worry, Ting Tang, er I mean Kunala... er... Ivar? Yes, Ivar... You probably won't notice me... unless the First Mate lets you in on my being there.
Huzzah! Thank you for including me in this merry band of adventure.
Does Captain Albrecht know the first mate snuggled you aboard? oops, never mind he's a "Cavalry Captain", Welcome aboard Captain! Just make sure that kitty of yours doesn't get too hungry :)
Guys, this thread got corrupted. A known paizo bug. Dot in over here. I preserved the discussion thread but the recruitment thread will be lost:(
Once everyone is in gameplay I'll inactivate this thread so it doesn't clutter up your stuff.
Well, this is a rocky start! Sorry guys! I promise the rest will be fun...
Well awl right. The corrupted campaign thread has been deleted and the correct threads hooked up to this one. We are off to the races! Do you guys think we will be ready to start tonight?
Albrecht gazes beneath the ship's rail, arms folded pensively behind his back. The wind ruffles the panther-black fur mohawk atop his cap and tugs at his mustache. A panther dozes at his side.
My, ships sure do take forever getting anywhere.
Alright! That's 5 players checked in. Just waiting for 2 more. Happy Saturday!
Happy Saturday. :)
Greetings from Sunday. Sending this on my phone and will have full access when I get home
Hi! I'll update my character and post tonight. GM, did you consider allowing drawbacks for an additional trait?
How many people are aboard the ship and how long have we been on it? Specifically how well do we know each other?
This is the pbp group skill check rule I use: the first one to roll is the skill check and they RP it. All the others RP how they help and we use the AID ANOTHER rule: if succeed they each add a cumulative +2 to the original check. Unless someone wants to steel the thunder! In that case, THEIR roll becomes the check and they RP how they take the lead. Then the first roll is recalculated to be an Aid Another. All of this is role played of course. Shall I post an example or do you just want to give it a try?
EDIT: the point is to frame a great RPing opportunity for you guys. It's worked pretty well in my other games to date:)
Bayani, you can do it as long as it's for character depth and not for min/maxing. Fair?
I think I understand the RP and how they help, obviously we can play it as we go and you can critique :) but at 0 skill in either, Ivar will wait to try and "aid Another." He has absolutely no desire to steal anyone's thunder.
:) That's why I say Knowledge OR survival. Anyone can make survival check untrained.
Ivar...is that lack of confidence I smell?? How unbecoming a Viking haha!!
heh, in a similar boat... also, would they know about Julian being there given he is a stowaway (and as such trying to keep out of the Captain's knowledge/way)?
no, it is the smell of a self aware man, the benefit of not min/maxing and having a int and wis of 10 instead of 7 :)
Survival would still be +0 so we will let someone with survival start and I will add my + 2
Ivar, say you rolled a 12, but the next person rolled a 16. They would steal the thunder and your 12 would still be +2 for a group total of 18. So you can go ahead and take a "stab" at it now if you like!
Julian, can't have you still stowing away, you will miss the RPing! So here is how it happened: about 2 weeks ago you were in the galley trying to steal an apple (stowing away is very hard work and makes a swashbuckler very hungry!). Turned out Ivar was on potatoe peeling duty that week (he's on the crew, remember). He caught you but felt sorry for your plight. So he agreed to vouch for you by paying the captain your fair from his own purse in exchange for you taking all his potatoe peeling duties for the rest of the voyage. This has turned out to be a great arrangement, accept for the fact that your ability to sharpen the potatoe peelers to surgical sharpness is sort of unsettling to some of the passengers. Feel free to embelish this tale, I only offer it to facilitate. But it's YOUR story:)
I added the meticulous drawback and the Nethysian trait 'Underlying principles' just to make Bayani a little more magic-nerdy.
hm... I like it for the most part, but might I make one edit? Instead of Ivar squaring things directly with the captain, he squares it with the first mate at Julian's insistance. The first mate then "explains" to the captain how Julian arrived in the last port as a temporary crewer. I love the bit about sharpening the peelers... perhaps he even has a habit of tossing them at the potatoes at a range from time to time. :)
count me in, sharp knives...so how much to have you sharpen a couple for me, I love sharp knives, just hate wasting them on potatoes, boil those bad boys with the peals on.
Motobu, our characters both have Ekujae heritage; both were born in Mwangi but were taken from it as children. Would it be reasonable to suppose they had become friends on the voyage, exchanging old memories and so forth?
Geez. I thought I was posting in discussion earlier. This is why I'm waiting to post until tomorrow
ugh, kiddo is still awake. gotta go make a bottle...
But but the door swings open...
Its all good :) I'll just be here. Mashing the refresh button.
I remember those days...hang in there. :)
everybody sing....rock a bye...come on I can't hear you...baby, in the crows nest...
I'm sorry guys, I can't post it for a while. This is looking like it's going to drag out:(
Sorry about vanishing last night guys. I promise that is not my normal mode. Back to the game!
(shrug) I did too about that time... my apologies... got too sleepy and needed to get to Mass in the morning. Hope all are doing well on this great Sunday!
Motobu, our characters both have Ekujae heritage; both were born in Mwangi but were taken from it as children. Would it be reasonable to suppose they had become friends on the voyage, exchanging old memories and so forth?
It would be very reasonable indeed! Unfortunately Seko's pretty emo about it all right now so you might find him annoying if you've tried to have a long conversation about Mwangi with him. So... Take that as you may.
sweet! 10 posts to read! Can't wait. Just got home from taking my girls to the zoo. Bats are now their new favorite animal, haha! Fun times. Will post after 9 as usual.
I am confused about the group diplo check. We have a 19 9 21 and 24. Shouldn't that be 24 + 2 +2 = 28?
oops. Yes, I boned it up. It's 28. apologies. Let me fix it:)
BTW, Captain Albrecht's character concept is WICKED. I'm a huge fan of WWII history, especially the blitzkrieg and Rommel's north africa campaign. Panzers *shudder*
Okay, my inner geek is REALLY starting to come through more than i normally allow it:(
