And...we're off!
Once everyone levels up, they should be 25 point level 2 characters with max hp.
I will get Lydia updated soon. Just a little heads up, I'm in the middle of changing jobs right now. Tomorrow is my last day at one place and I start at the new place on Monday so things have been and will continue to be a little hectic here for a bit. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes, I'll do my best to keep up with the game. Stoopid IRL >.<
I like your doodles and I am very much enjoying the game so far! Thanks again for having me.
@DMshrodingerscat: Like the doodles -- thanks for doing those. :)
@Lydia: Good luck with the new job. :)
Hey guys, anyone else playing? It's been a few days since my last posting and it's gone deathly quiet on here. I know people are levelling their character, but we've only just started the fantasy component, so I'd hate to see this game fade away.
I'm here.
Good to see you, Luc. Now hopefully the others will join in, soon.
Sorry I am here just distracted by IRL. Didn't get a chance on the weekend to add my level. I will do that tonight for sure. I apologize for my absence but things should settle down here real quick.
I'll have some new posts for you tomorrow, guys. Fantasy awaits!
I'll post tomorrow with my leveled up stats as well.
Sorry, been busy myself. Getting ready for a move and finishing up escrow on a condo. And crazy busy at work. Should be back on track now. Need to level up!
Glad almost everyone is getting back up to speed.
I want to re-iterate that I originally asked that everyone be able to do at least 3 posts a week. I think that was a reasonable request. I understand life can pop up, so occasionally exceptions can be made.
Even so, if you can't commit to the game I'd rather hear about it sooner rather than later so I can go back to recruitment if need be.
That having been said, I'll have responses to your current actions/situation tomorrow. If I get the chance, I'll even make a sketch of the surrounding area to give you a better idea.
Thanks.
Luc, hope your girls have a nice Easter break from school ... My son finishes up today and then he's on Easter vacation too... :)
Now that I've started my new job, all my posting will be reliably between 20:00 and 23:00 MDT. No more leisure time at work, which is actually kind of nice, not nearly as boring. I will do my best to post every day from now on.
Enjoy the time with your girls Luc :)
Yes, I hope everyone's children have fun...but behave themselves. :)
Also, congratz on the new job Lydia.
Jonas, are you still playing?
Good evening everyone. I'm glad to be able to finally type this. So, I know you haven't heard from me in a while. That's because I have been in the hospital since Tuesday. I just got back home this afternoon, and it's taken me until now to sit down. So, I'm sorry about the absence. Anyway, I'm very tired and tomorrow is going to be a long day. I also have to catch up on the gameplay. I will try to post something by Tuesday. If you guys would prefer that we write Jonas out, no worries. I'd understand. Otherwise, I'm glad to be back both at home and here.
Sorry to hear you were in hospital, Jonas. Hope all will be better soon. Get some rest.
Hope all is well Jonas. Glad to have you back!
Hope you're feeling better. Welcome back!
Ok, well It looks like Jonas is out. I'm going to officially call it. I've pm'ed him a few times, and he doesn't respond.
That leaves us with a few options. I'll happily go back to recruitment, as it would help to have a skill monkey bard/rogue.
The other option is to just write him out and carry on as is.
Thoughts?
I'd like to go back to recruitment and get another player to round out the group.
Bard, Rogue, Cleric ... whichever fits best.
GM, Miya asked the shepherd to tell her where they are and he didn't answer. Was that deliberate (like he doesn't want to answer) or was a slip of the GM's mind? Thanks.
Addendum: I just had Miya ask the question, again. Hope that's okay.
Yes, that was actually my slip. Sorry. I'll have him answer in my next post. :)
Heads up: I got elected to host Easter dinner on Good Friday but no one told me until yesterday so my schedule is jam packed until Saturday. I'll do my best to get something up but I can't make any promises.
Good luck with Easter dinner, Lydia. I've been baking all day ...
My posting over the Easter long weekend will be sporadic at best.
Sorry, a bit distracted with cleaning and packing this week. Just had the landlord walk through today, so one less thing to worry about. Have a Happy Easter everyone!
I think I agree with recruiting another one also - might help rounding up the group's abilities.
And Happy Easter to all ;)
Cool, I'll get that put up then. Also, sorry for the lag in posting lately, only excuse i can offer is i'm in the process of moving (like Philip) and it's a bit distracting. I'll be back on track now.
Also, happy Easter, folks.
Happy Easter. :)
A general heads-up: From Wednesday 23rd April, I will be travelling (out of town). I will not be home again until the 28th April. There will be no posting from me during this time. DM, npc Miya where/if needed, please.
Sure thing, Miya. I hope you have a good time on your trip. :)
Can I get your guys' thoughts on the two people who have put forth ideas in the recruitment thread?
I've already told Tsiron that he had to nix the background bit about his Grandfather knowing stuff, but otherwise... opinions?
Gonna look at the apps now. Sorry for my extended absence. My Easter weekend was hectic but wonderful, hope all yours were the same. Looking forward to more adventure with you all!
For me, I like the bard-archaeologist concept put forward by Tsiron. So my vote is for Josh Tarko. I would have liked it if he could have kept Bardic Performance but with his archetype -- he doesn't get it. But he does get Archaeologist’s Luck which is good for him.
He hasn't listed his orisons and he also gets 1st level spells. Like to see which ones he chooses. He's got a pretty good CHA (16), so he should get an extra 1st level spell/day.
So he took the drawback 'Pride' so he has access to a third trait. I can only see two traits: Scholar of Ruins and Friend in Every Town. He has gone for the alternate racial traits: Incorruptible (instead of spell-like ability) and Scion of Humanity (instead of Celestial language and alters the native subtype).
He has World Traveller as his feat. But he kept the Skill Focus feat given to humans and he is an Aasimar. He should lose that one.
I think his HP are low (10). He gets full at Commoner (6) and full at bard (8) for 14, is that right? He has +0 for CON modifier.
Haven't really looked at Josh's crunch yet, but as far as applications go, am I wrong or has Tsiron actually been the only one with a full application so far?
His participation in the recruitment thread is already a plus on my end though ;)
Yeah, Tsiron has Josh Tarko pretty fleshed out and a cool explanation for his transition happening separately. Sounds good to me.
Tsiron is enthusiastic about the game and has created a character that fills our needs quite well. He has answered to all of the concerns expressed and he seems to accept criticism with tact and composure. His writing is fairly strong imho. I think he would make a fine addition.
@Lydia: Criticism? No such thing was directed his way.
I don't think that any criticism was going on. I do welcome other eyes with regards to stats and such though, as I sometimes miss things that could later be important.
I'm still looking at some tweaks to his backstory.
Some people get defensive when asked to alter or explain their character in any way but Tsiron did not. Tweaking his backstory is a criticism of his character and so is ensuring that his stats, abilities etc. are within the rules but I did not intend any negative connotation to the word. Constructive criticism is an excellent thing and you both have my utmost respect.
As far as another set of eyes on his character, I think Miya covered everything mechanical. There is still a slight mismatch of stats between the profile and the stat block in the spoiler and I don't see any reason to explain why he has only 10HP instead of 14HP.
Everything is fantastic. Sorry to give anyone the impression I feel negative in any way or have observed any negative behaviour.
Thank you for the clarification, Lydia. I know in a format that's strictly text, sometimes it can be hard to read tone, so I'm glad you followed up.
Looks like the consensus is that Josh is in, so I'm gonna do another pass at his character, but I'd say he's in too (after changes of course).
Hi! I'm assuming that it's okay that I post here...
Giving everyone a heads up: based on posting times as seen over here, I am in a radically different time zone than the rest of you.
Also, it's deadly quiet in gameplay. Hope somebody will post soon...
Josh, the GM was waiting to fill the position before continuing on with the game. He wanted to put up an intro post for your character and being Easter posting slowed down some.
And don't be concerned about posting times -- we're all on different time zones: one player being in Europe and I'm in Australia. The rest I believe are in the US.
To all: I'll be back home from my mini vacation tomorrow afternoon, my time. I will be able to post then.
Welcome aboard Josh, good to have you with us. Things were a tad slower during Easter, but will surely pick up soon.
By the way, bank holiday today - I will be out and about. Probably can only update in the evening.
Hm. I wonder what Schrodinger is planning maniacally for the time difference...
Welcome aboard, Josh!
Philip, would you mind if I multiclassed into Evocationist at some point? You wouldn't be getting tons of blast spells, and I would love to use my high intelligence. I'm only asking because I don't want to intrude upon your territory without permission.
