GM Turmoil's Slave Ships of Absalom (Core)

[GM Turmoil]

Game Expectations

1. Posting Frequency: My games tend to run a little quicker than average. Before signing up, consider how much time you can devote to the game. I prefer players who can post once per day on average, if not more. I understand that everyone occasionally has a busy day and just can't find the time to post. I try to avoid this but even as the GM I sometimes miss a day. But not posting for several days is not acceptable. It slows the game down and makes it less interesting because your character will be left behind in the action. And if you disappear during combat and hold things up for a day, I will skip you and move on.

2. Posting Quality: Take advantage of the medium and write some description. Tell us what your PC is doing or what they look like; put up some dialog and start a conversation with your fellow PCs. It makes the game immensely more engaging, immersive, and entertaining. I will admit, it can sometimes be hard to spice up combat posts. Bottom line: be willing to make an effort role-playing in my game. If you aren't up to that challenge, please consider playing a different game. If you aren't much of a writer or are new to PbP, don't be intimidated. I/We will help you improve! But if you sign up for my game and make too many posts with just dice or just ooc text, I will give you a warning and if your quality doesn't improve I reserve the right to ask you to leave the game.

3. I also try to be pretty open as to what is allowed and options that are a little outside the box, I really enjoy seeing what creative players come up with. If I ask for a roll, and you feel that you have another option that may work better, there is no harm in asking. The best way, and by that I mean the fastest way to do so and keep things moving is to first off, make the roll I asked for, (because sometimes the answer will be no, but that's generally because the Scenario specifically says so and I can't control that), and then to both ask if you can do something else instead, and then also make the appropriate rolls for that alternative option as well.

[Banesama]

I'm interested. I plan on making a Water Elemental Sorcerer belonging to the Sovereign Court. Should have him made and posted before the night ends.

[Goldur Twinthunders]

Interested!

[Kavor Doan]

Interested! Just hit level 2, need to update the profile.

[Luke_Parry]

Definitely interested!

[Kranzer Kraken-Mouth]

"Ha HA!" I've got a dwarf rogue itching for some action!

[GM Turmoil]

Just a note to everyone, I will keep recruiting open until sometime tomorrow, and will roll for who gets in if needed. Though Kranzer is guaranteed to get in, since he gave up his spot in my other game so someone that was new to PbP could play.

[Prisim]

If you are shy of six, then I'll join in, but if it comes to a roll off, then I'll drop out.

[Bartholimu]

i would like to get in if i could

[nightdeath]

I am interested though if there are new players, I'll step aside for them.

[Miriel Magol]

I am interested.

Miriel is updated and ready.

Edit: I can post several times per day, but I live in GMT+2 timezone so posting times may be a bit strange.

[GM Turmoil]

Banesama 1d100 ⇒ 68

[GM Turmoil]

Just to be clear, APL is exactly 2 so this will be played at low tier. It may end up being a bit on the easy side though with this party.

[Jarlaxle Baenre]

That is fine by me :-)

[Goldur Twinthunders]

Heh, two bards in the same party. Inspire Courage for DAYS.

[GM Turmoil]

Reading ahead in the scenario, there's a mechanic that makes use of a player's weight. I know it's a pain, but could everyone tell me what their character's total weight is, including the gear they carry? It doesn't have to be exact, just give me an estimate to the nearest 10 lbs.

[Hudor Nero]

Backpack
-Winter Blanket
-Flint & Steel
-Trail Rations (4 days)
-Waterskin (water)
Belt Pouch
-PP:
-GP: 89
-SP:
-CP:
Traveller's Vestment
Spear
Heavy Crossbow
25 Bolts

Hero Lab shows me at 31 lbs (Light Load).

[Kranzer Kraken-Mouth]

Kranzer's total weight is 236. 185 lb dwarf + 51 pounds of gear.

[GM Turmoil]

Hudor, what do you consider the weight of Hudor himself? I need the total. Again, just an estimate is fine.

[Kavor Doan]

Kavor Doan had to do this for Wounded Wisp, and was 237 with gear.

[Hudor Nero]

Hudor is 140 lbs +31 for 171 lbs total.

[Kevtiln Dryadson]

Kevtiln is 230lbs atm.. No full plate:(

So I'm in the midst of packing up my entire house right now. And then starting Wednesday we are driving across the country to move back home to NH with a newborn and 3 cats in the car. Needless to say, PFS is taking a bit of a backseat right now but I will try to post when I can. Sorry about the delays, but we are fairly close to the end.

[Kranzer Kraken-Mouth]

No worries. Be safe on the roads, especially up North. They've got a bad snowstorm incoming.

[Hudor Nero]

Yeah. No problem. We'll still be here waiting. :P

[Goldur Twinthunders]

And congrats on the baby! I know how a newborn makes just about anything that much more taxing haha.

[GM Turmoil]

Thanks for playing, I hope you all enjoyed it. And I apologize for the game being a bit slower than usual for me. Life has been a bit hectic for me these past few weeks. After a scenario I like to ask if anyone has any feedback they would like to provide, whether it be in relation to me as a GM or if it's just thoughts on the scenario. I will try to get the chronicles completed sometime today or tomorrow

[Goldur Twinthunders]

Yay, thanks for running! And don't worry, it's understandable-- life happens to all of us (whether we like it or not!)

[Kavor Doan]

Thanks for running! An entertaining scenario with a mix of challenges. Kavor Doan will check off the faction card accomplishment for "bribing one's way out of a fight", so make sure to dock him the 50 GP on the chronicle sheet.

[Hudor Nero]

Thanks for running and understandable about real life stuff. It happens.

[GM Turmoil]

HERE are the chronicles. Let me know if there are any issues.

@ Jarlaxle: You never posted your information, so once you do, I'll make yours.

[Kranzer Kraken-Mouth]

Thanks for the game!

[Jarlaxle Baenre]

PM sent.

[Goldur Twinthunders]

Got it. Wohoo, level 3!
