Welcome, oh brave adventurers, to War of the Burning Sky!
Checking in. Thanks for the pick.
Thanks for the selection.
Thanks for choosing me for this adventure. I look forward to having you carry me through a tale of fantasy, and I will enjoy the personalities and writing of all of the other players, too. Thank you.
Hey, Jubal. Glad to see you also made the cut :)
I'll be reading over you guys' backgrounds as I get the chance.
Hmmmm....I need to steal some heavier armor so I can survive until level 2 when I can start casting mage armor on myself.
Read your backgrounds. Two young/innocent men. Kagan is going to be rough on you two. But, don't take anything he says personally, it's his 6 charisma talking. This will manifest as a superstitious refusal to bathe (EVER), extreme honesty, bluntness and a bull-headed nature. Apologies in advance. I hope you will love to hate him, rather than it being annoying. Please let me know if my RP of Kagan bothers anyone, and I can change it. It will take me a while to find his voice anyway.
Hi all. Feel free to be as harsh to Mule as you like. Just by speaking to him he'll assume you are his friend.
GM are there any alteration you would like us to make before we start? In particular would you like a change of Sun god in Mule's background.
Any of the characters who visit the markets fairly often will recognize Mule.
Greetings everyone, glad to be here.
Glad to see we're in another game together, Jelani. Should be fun. I've been looking forward to playing this setting for a while.
No worries on the RP. I'll probably use it to toughen Kallant quickly. I've only read Kagan's background. Was waiting till introductions before reading the others.
cheers
Glad to be a part of this game! Man we have some big DM names in here, looks like it's going to be a good one!

Yikes! Then it looks like I've got some high expectations to fulfill!
Anyways, I'll be doing a second read through of everyone's backgrounds just to make sure everyone is 'in sync' with everything. Right now I'm out, but expect some comments either tonight or tomorrow morning.
I didn't really find any issues with any of the characters, so I went ahead and threw up the first post in the gameplay thread. You're all free to have any level of familiarity with each other (everyone other than Kallant and Mule has the Resistance campaign trait).
Also I forgot to mention this in the gameplay thread but there's a stable a little ways down the street for Gareth's mount. Sheyan, you can choose whether or not your roc is currently with you or out hunting in the mountains.
Finally, it would be awesome if everyone could get they're HP/AC/Saves/Perception/Initiative to show up in they're alias like Mule did (I have no idea how to do this but it would be a great help).
So without further ado, let the games begin!
I made a status line for Sheyan. It's a little different than Mule's, but I believe it gets the point across.
Also I realize how much of a mess having companions flying around the fight, so in every combat post I'll be sure to give an update on any current status effects.
I would probably leave the roc outside. Wild animals don't mix well with cities, inside a stable or not.
I usually throw whatever I want to say in Orc through google translate into Azerbaijani. Gives things a little more flavor.
I suppose someone may as well explain how the statline works. In your profile, the Gender, Race, and Class lines (in that order) appear under your name while in discussion and gameplay threads. That means you can add your statline in those and it will show up. You can also make spoilers like Kagan did if you have a large amount of information to display.

Brilliant! Thanks!
I always find that I type a response and end up having another post come before me. I guess I should type more quickly. I'm glad the game is so active. I hope it keeps up.
Also, I want to notify you in advance. I will be gone on a hunting trip on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I might be able to make a post on Thursday morning, and I will get back on Sunday. This is a preemptive apology for my absence. Do with me what you must during that time. Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up.
GM, please put the map link in the campaign info header, so we can easily find it when the pages change.
cheers
Or even better in your GM alias's gender line, so we can still find it easily after hitting preview.
GM. Can you specify if it's the PCs turn to take another round of actions? Also can you mark the door being battered on the map? Apologies if you have done that already, because I can't access roll20 ATM.
Cheers
Whoops sorry about that; from now on I'll note which group's turn it is at the end of every combat post. Just so you know, it IS the PCs turn to act right now.
I've also added an annotation to the map marking the door.
Also thanks to everyone for being patient with me and pointing out some of these finer points of pbp GMing.
Your doing fine. Grouping the PCs makes a huge difference (which you are doing) in pbp as we live in different time zone and access the game at different times of the day.
Yeah, so far so good. Thanks :)
At least one of us is in China and I'm in the US.
I'm in Australia so probably similar time zone to China.
So sorry everyone! Meant to throw up a post yesterday but some Halloween celebrations unfortunately left me rather badly injured. Thankfully, I'm 100% okay now and working on the next combat round post, which will be up shortly. Watch out for the burning debris!
Hi! I'm back from the trip early due to an amount of snow that was not predicted. I won't go into detail, but I am back.
sorry with slow posting, I've got the flu.
Also I'm heading out on Wednesday for 6 days. The phone coverage where I'm going is poor but I'll try to post occasionally (Feel free to GMPC Mule to keep things moving)
I should point out that I used the 'Withdraw' full-round action.
Yarp. Sounds like a gargantuan red...we'd last less than a round.
Been a little sick these past few days, but expect a post later today. I'll see if I can up my posting rate this week too.
Hope you feel better soon. No rush get back to it when you are ready (or too bored of being sick).
bump
Double bump. I hope this isn't going to be one of those times where a game dies as soon as it starts. :(
GM said he was sick hopefully back soon. (I hope)
Still here.
NOT DYING! Forgive me immensely dear players, I had a rough week but I won't let his game die this early. Post tomorrow; QUADRUPLE PROMISE.
Also here. Don't worry DM, just make sure you get better.
I have not left you. You don't have to make sure you get better, but you probably want to!
Hope you are feeling better GM, my wife has had the an on going flu for 3 weeks now, not serious but very annoying.
Go ahead and count me out of this one guys. Not sure if DM will ever return, but I'm out at this point.
Merry Christmas?
