I actually went a couple squares into the kitchen, but sure, once I realised what the slaved did I suppose I ran out.
Re-dotting. Pissing me off, Paizo. Pissing me off.
Hey guys, I'm in a Dragons Demand game that seems to have lost a player. GM is giving him a bit of time to reply, but I told him I have hyperactive posters in both my games, so if you're interested, this is a heads up...they may want a replacement, and I recommended my players. So if you're interested, lemme know, and I'll tell the GM. We have a half drow Unchained demon summoner (me), a lizardfolk barbarian, and I believe our gun wielding paladin is human. We're waiting to hear back from our half elf occultist who hasn't posted in quite a while.
Not played Dragons Demand. Is it a different play format or is it Pathfinder?
It's PF. It's a mega module; about half the size of an AP, to like level 7 or 8 I think.
Sounds like it could be interesting. If you give a link I can take a look at it.
Messaged.
Damn. I saw your post literally three minutes after you posted it yesterday, and responded to it, but I don't see my own post. Ugh.
Also, a heads up, I am part of a theatre group and have multiple performances tomorrow. I may or may not be able to post.
Am I evil for putting the safety of Thomas's robot in everyone's hands while he's unconscious? Hey...I asked for run dice for a reason, and he was in the thick of it when it blew.
Decisions, decisions.
I have drill this weekend...and I wanna go see The Witch...and Deadpool so my posting is very likely to be limited.
Weekends seem to be slow for most. As always, I do very much appreciate heads up, though.
I can usually get a coupole posts up per day on the weekend. But this weekend will be lighter
Basically my schedule is
1600 Friday get off work, go with the Wife see deadpool
0300 Sat head to drill
1600 Sat get off work go take a nap, go see the Witch
0600 Sun go to drill
1600 get off work drive 3 hrs home
1900 Sun get home; watch TWD!
So I'll get a post or two in, but less than normal.
FYI, med-x lets you ignore wound penalties, that's clearly stated...what ISNT stated clearly is that includes wound penalties of people you're healing, making it easier to patch someone else up, if you have a medical kit. (You use the med-x on the person being healed, not yourself, lol...you're sedating a patient, not calming the doctor's nerves.)
If you can't tell, I've made stimpaks a lot more rare than in the videogames, more akin to healing potions in commonality than they are in, say, Fallout Shelter, where I just cransedating ked out 45 or so in a minute. Still, I figured I owed you guys a handful...
And SCENE; 2xp, Bennies reset.
Timmy and Jimmy can roll for level up. I told Thomas already, but with robots, I'm going with finding upgrades and parts instead of traditional leveling to make it different, from here on.
nope
Reread rules. 5 or 6 is a level for extras. That's a yup.
Ooh, ok.
Timmy takes Gunz to d4.
We're doing a collection of skits compiled into a show, all taken from classic short stories by English and American authors. My most major role is that of Barton from The Cold Equations, though I'm also playing the old man from The Tell-Tale Heart.
Just a reminder before we move on that there is quite a bit of loot available to claim on the loot log.
7 Psycho
4 MedX
4 Mentats
5 Stimpacks
2 Steady
Hunting Shotgun
20 Shotgun Shells
If no one claims the Psycho, Kristophe is gonna go on a bender.
So I've been thinking on how to handle your community building idea.
I have a very quick and dirty Kingdom rules conversion to SW if you guys wanna use that for funzies. Modernize/apocalypse-ize the flavor, convert the attributes (d4 becomes 8, d6 becomes 10, d8 becomes 12, d10 becomes 14, and d12 becomes 16), with agility as dex, str remains str, vigor as con, smarts as int, spirit as wis, and charisma...just add 10 to your score and bam... you can plug the kingdom rules right in.
You can start off with the school as a base construction for one of the buildings, since you guys clearly want to use it as a base, and away you go.
Of course, there is the matter of getting infrastructure/starting wealth (BP), and community members, but...I have a handful of plans for that. Any major faction could, forseeably, put forth donations to that as a sponsor, similarly to the Swordlords in Kingmaker, provided you convince them.
It puts a real long-term angle to the game, but...I think you guys might enjoy it, and it lets me really work in some of the larger elements I have brewing, and makes Mass Combat (the SW rules) an option :-D
What do you think?
I can pull another angle if you want, but it seems to be the goal of three to four of the characters. Aeryicka seems to just want to survive, and possibly hunt, and Kristophe to get f***ed up and break s***, but methinks they'd enjoy being border patrol and sheriff, respectively, especially if K has a bunch of sycophantic deputies kissing his backside.
Of course, maybe I'm misreading the characters.
Anyway, let me know what you think, or if you want to go another direction. obviously setting up the foundation Work will require a lot of exploring of the land to find sponsors, salvage, etc.
Does sound interesting. Like you said, Aeryicka wouldn't really be into the whole 'world building' thing, but a scout or something would be right up her alley. Especially once she gets her bird.
That should be tomorrow in character as you were only a day after Harper.
By the way, Harper, if you want to swap that edge out for another edge you qualify for if you don't see yourself getting another pet, in fine with that.
That other post apocalypse game had some decent rules when it came to building a community too. I posted them in the other game in the campaign tab.

Especially since we moved his major flaw from Overconfident to Curious, I kind of see Badger as a rolling stone. The way he sees it, he's been in one place for his whole life so it's time to see the rest of Florida and worry about settling down later. But if everybody else is down to Kingmaker it up, I can roll with it.
I'm not really all that keen with the idea...mostly because those types of games flounder in pbp. You will be hard pressed to find a Kingmaker pbp that is up to book 2, much less past it. And it was one of the most popular APs on these forums.

Are we waiting on something in particular in the game play thread?

I can put up a post in a little while, I just need to update my gear sheet and what have you.
Sorry, was gonna post a little while ago but dinner was finished so I went to eat.
Checking over the loot- Aeryicka, did you take the 4 stimpaks, 4 med-ex recently? Just looking at what's up for grabs.
I'm hauling the hunting shotgun for now until I can upgrade my strength to a d8 next tier or we find a place where we can sell our stuff.

I, of course, am fully in favor of this idea. =)
But I want to address Kris' point. It seems like a good one.
I didn't know about that, and, yes, every KM recruitment is a rock star drowning in applicants. That it doesn't get to book 2 is surprising.
Mind you, I have some insight into that.
I joined a KM game late (the only one I've ever played) and they were in the exploration phase. That is, there were some hexes, and we had to go to each one, and have some random encounter.
And that was -it-. One random encounter after another, none of them tied to gether, none of them meaning anything.
Hence, I think that's why it dies. It becomes a job. You're not an adventurer killing evil, you're a janitor cleaning up weeds so that later you can be an accountant. :p
Mind you, with that said, I can tell that Redbeard has but a LOT of thought into his world, and we won't have that problem. There is a HUGE difference between walking to hex 27-B and encountering a magic pool that no one really wants to explore so you move on to hex 27-C, and going to a ruined hospital because your party is DESPERATELY short on medical supplies but you heard that there are raiders there that are connected to the ones that killed the parents of your favorite NPCs AND they might have better armor for your woefully under equipped party to have AND you might be able to free some slaves, some of which will join your band and then your income goes up so you can buy more drugs from the town just down the road and oh look the DM is having one of the HAWT girl slaves give you calves eyes and wouldn't you like some of that and now you're romantically involved with the NPC that you freed from the hospital and she knows her brother is held in the school ten blocks away....
Hence.
tl;dr: All games are only as good as their DM and if Redbeard has an idea, I think it'll work. =)
Checking over the loot- Aeryicka, did you take the 4 stimpaks, 4 med-ex recently? Just looking at what's up for grabs.
Yeah, I thought I put that up in a post earlier. I grabbed them since I'm the closest the party has to a medic with my Healing skill at d8.

Gotcha. Okay, I took 2 psycho off of Kris, 1 mentats, 1 steady for Badger's drug allotment.
Why take the 2 psychos off me? There were 7 left...Kris is gonna fistfight you for those!

I edited the loot log. Kris has his psycho back....

You know, some of us would also like to be strung out on drugs Mr. Kristophson.

Whew. Okay, I had my RP and it was fun and now I think Thomas will just come back to the party and do some notice rolls and then we can get back to the OH WHAT THE HELL??? =)
*teehee* The question isn't "if" Thomas is going to walk in at the wrong time, the question is "when".
*chuckle* I have no idea what you're trying to do here, Harper, but it is guar-en-dam-teed that wacky hijinks are about to ensue. =P
I think I'll let Kris reply to this at least once before I enter, stage right. =)
It seemed like a misinterpetation to me. I addressed in the thread, and its late, and I'm too tired to copy, delete, and paste on my phone to here, but it seemed K was being rather innocuous, to me. If he pulled a gun on anyone, it would be any of you before Badger. Badger is like the only person he's asked an opinion of, or even held back for.
I think of him like an orc. Brash, jerky, demanding respect, but respecting strength. Badger can shoot and swing a hatchet, Kristophe saw that, and said "this guy, he's alright"
Remember when he talked about starting a gang? It was "me and bloom and I guess maybe Overseer Tom can come along" - precisely because Tom showed hes a handy shot with a laser very recently.
Bah it's late. Maybe I'm reading too much into the characters.
That's pretty much my reading as well.

The giant yellow torture enthusiast was really a hit with the teenaged girl demographic in our party!
I want to fall off of the face of the earth right now. I can't believe I was so stupid/tired that I wrote that. Feel free to bleach your mind of the fact that I am an ignoramus.
Edit: Harper:
A. Did not pick up on the meaning of the slaver's speech about crucifixion
and
B. Is/was innocent and sheltered, and still is repulsed by the idea of an ally dying, even if the said ally in question is a sadistic mutated shell of a human.
The above can lead to the conclusion that:
C. Harper honest to god wanted to eventually be able to trust Miles, (she wants FRIENDS) even if she was cautious and scared of him, and is still shocked that Kristophe can take the life of someone who has put their trust and safety in his hands.
Edit two:
You can most likely tell by now that I happen to overanalyze my characters to a ridiculous degree.

+1 Benny. Really laughed a LOT.
Sorry guys, I hit a minor plot writer's block. Brainstorming where to take you next since you all don't have a direction. In the meantime I can respond to your probing, RP, and if you want throw you some random encounters...but you seem more plot driven of a group. Should have a solid plan up by this afternoon if you don't have a direction you wanna go.
Plot arc isn't my strong point as a writer. I do best at world generation, characterization, dialogue...but tying it all into a story...that's why I need players.
Also..
When did I last reset scene? Too tired and busy at work to look up.
You did a scene reset after the battle was finished with and we were gathered around the broken truck. Gave us a delicious 2exp for our troubles.
Okay, cool.
Not nearly enough blood in my caffeine system this morning.
Okay, then we are just waiting on someone to decide if we are going back to the School to rest/recover or on to that Hospital or maybe somewhere else.
Kristophe is all for moving forward, seems the rest of us need to make some posts.

I think its awesome that you are picking up what I'm laying down. But just a point for clarification...Kristophe at that point thought Tom would be ok because he seemed to have a knack for finding things (he had just found a gun and some stuff in a secret hidey hole in a desk)
He still doesn't think anyone besides Badger is any good at fighting. At this point he's also very leery of the robot, since now they've fought two sets of them that tried to kill him with laser and fire.

Well, we have two slavers that escaped and they saw our faces most likely. And then there may be more mutants out there, since our late friend had to come from somewhere.
Tom (and I imagine Harper?) want to set up a place for Vault 22 exiles on the surface. Kristophe wants to be a bad mother with a lot of drugs. Aeryicka just wants to survive. Badger wants to explore and make a name for himself and have adventures- maybe he'll start keeping a journal ala The Wasteland Survival Guide. He's also not a fan of mutants at this point.
Just spitballing some ideas, not trying to steer you any particular way. I'm very much enjoying the game!
