Welcome all to the Discussion thread for my Rise of the Runelords: Anniversary Edition campaign. Please take the time to introduce yourselves and to amke any last minute adjustments to your characters that you feel might be necessary.
Thank you for taking the time to apply and we'll get this show on the road shortly.
Hi everyone.
My name is Josh. Nice to be joining all of you.
Sal has memorized Detect Evil, Remove Sickness, and Truestrike(D) (her "mingling" combo).
I looked over everyone's sheets to get aquainted. If anyone sees any errors on mine, or has a suggestion feel free to pipe up!
Sal's speech will be in BOLD
Her thoughts will be in italics
My comments will be in
hello as well
ditto on the formatting of Vachordi.
Looking forward to it, AJM let me know if something is off on my sheet.
nice to meet you Sal!
Heya everyone! rashly5 here with my character. I'll be supporting y'all with my arcane magics, cooking, and knowledge skills.
All my stats can be found on my profile. Looking forward to playing with you guys!
Vachordi is an archer, as well as a healer/survivalist. Though Heal is not a class skill so it is actually not too hot yet. We will also never be caught in bad weather as he uses Read Weather every couple of days.
EDIT: And rashly I am pumped to play a game with you. This is also MiniGM
Tania here! I find making an interesting priest of Gorum to be quite a challenge. I hope I can make her breathe.
She's not into healing, yet.
Glad to be a part of this team. Thanks AJM!
Hey all,
Thanks for the invite. I just realized I haven't put my gear into my profile yet. I'll do that tonight and be good to go in the morning. Tania I've noticed that your background states that you've worked with the town guards. Being one such guard perhaps we've worked together.
Heya, MiniGM! Glad ta see ya here too. :D
Yes Caerwyn, that's a good idea. From what you can tell, she is devoted, but has a real hard time with authority. You wouldn't be surprised they'd let her go if they had enough people and the festival wasn't coming.
Just waiting on Durgan to check in. If he doesn't by tonight I may have to replace him.
Sorry for the delay. The website wasn't indicating any new posts and I didn't notice that until today.
Durgan's good to go; I don't think anything needs to be changed.
It becomes much easier to keep track once you have posted in Gameplay, then it appears under your campaigns tab. Gad you made it though.
Sorry all, What I thought was going to be a quiet evening watching the Bears game and working on the campaign turned into helping my wife babysit two seven year olds and a two year old while her friends went to the game.
That being said I have the begining map up, please take a look at it and indicate your starting positions before I begin the first encounter.
anywhere? Or will there be a gameplay thread post that lets us have an idea of where we might be
Start anywhere on the map. You've all gathered in the town square to listen to Father Zantus give the dedication speech for the new temple. Once everyone is accounted for I'll update the map and give you the introduction.
Ooh. I'll be sitting down on the ground at Q-20, near that guy, just listening and resting my feet. My raven familiar will be just on my shoulder.
And no worries, AJM. Hope those kids didn't give ya too much trouble.
Okay, I think I get it. Caerwyn would be somewhere where he could look over the entire square, Call it A-14 to start out.
Today It is going to be mostly cloudy, tomorrow it will rain with temperatures in the mid-60's.
Tania is at B14.
"Greetings stranger, from a stranger."
Before I forget, here are my prepared spells for today:
0th: Detect Magic, Ghost Sound, Prestidigitation
1st: Feather Fall, Sleep, Silent Image, Mage Armor
Whoops. Forgot the 0th school spell. It is (and always will be because it's the only one in its level) Message.
Having heard the good Father's speaches before over the last five years Durgan doubts this is likely to be any more interesting than the others. Father Zantus is a good man but that hasn't alwasy made his speeches interesting. Anythings better than moping about though and it might seem rude not to attend.
Durgans stands in right by the entrance to the round tent.
Amazing map btw.
That it is. How did you manage to make that?
The boards are behaving weirdly. It is very hard to see whether there is a new post.
yea i was hoping that it would be fixed when the forums went down for a bit late last night
I"ve just realized I had postponed equipment. should be done tonight. Don't wait for me!
That it is. How did you manage to make that?
Thanks, it's just the PDF of the village square flipmat along with some tokens I made Photoshopped in.
Again I appologize for the delay in begining the AP. When I got to work this morning I realized I had left the flash drive, that i had copied all my pictures and files from my desktop to, on my desk at home and since I do about 80% of my posting from work I kind of screwed myself till I got home.
all good, that boards are still a mess. new campaigns dont have tabs up top anymore, things are going to be slow I figure until all the bugs are worked through
No worries. And yeah, boards are a huge mess. Thought it was just me. Glad to see everyone else is sharing in my suffering. :P
Equipment done, based on average gold.
OOO buddy, I am ready to get started!!
Hey AJM, just checking in. Everything alright? Don't want to sound pushy...but thought I would make sure everything is alright :/
I'm eager too. Unfortunately, the boards are a mess right now. All my links (even the ones I just created) all go to blank pages. To get to this thread, I have to go to the original Recruitment thread and click on the link there. I hope they get some of these bugs worked out soon.
Oh, boards seem to be functioning now.
huzzah!
This is a bummer huh?
Yeah. *twiddles thumbs* Hope AJ is alright.
yup, give it some time hopefully he will come back, then I guess maybe we try to recruit a DM.
But it has only been a few days, I know that I have had issues logging onto the site before after big updates
Should we hold to the daily posting requirement even though GM is absent?
We dont even have a gameplay thread yet ;/
I say we give it a couple of days, then see if we can recruit a new DM
Lets hang out and wait until Monday, then reevaluate. How does everyone feel about that?
I know of one person who is willing to take over if AJM does not come back. But I really want to wait at least until Monday, as it has not even been a week yet.
Thoughts?
That seems fair but we should probably prepare for a new DM. I hate to sound negative but looking through AJM's profile he's only posted 85 times (including aliases) with two failed campaign start attempts.
That's great if you already have an interested DM, Vachordi.
Mathpro. I think we are going to wait until Monday to decide. I was in contact with someone who was interested in taking over another one that failed. I will guide him to this thread, and see where we wind up.
More importantly THANK YOU. I am still hopeful that AJM will be back, but please keep tabs on us here. OK?
Well at least we got father than the last one I was accepted to, it never made it past the recruitment phase.
