[Alpha Group] A Call into Death: GM Choon presents Tomb of the Iron Medusa (Inactive)

Game Master Choon

Greetings, Alpha Group. Here's your Discussion thread.

Dotting

OK, will get to work on this alias.

FYI: You can dot the gameplay thread and then delete the post to get the game into your campaigns tab. Or just start RPing and getting a feel for each other and your group style. Whichever. :)

Thanks again, GM.

Looks like we're quite the martial group... Anything else we think we need? I've still got some cash that I can spend.

Howdy all!

My martial capabilities are mostly a method of encouraging underestimation. I'm trying something a bit different here.

Ferod has some close support weapons that are really there to let him back off so he can pull out the spells.

This build is supposed to take care of rogue tasks, while still being a competent front liner (which a rogue would not be).

I'll be a front liner, and a strong healer

For folks that want a character rendering, I can do it.
But it'll require a good description, your Height, and an idea of clothing/armour

Just let me know when you are all ready and I'll get this thing rolling. I think Omar and Rathis were doing aliases at last check.

Like the render?
It took a while since I'm mixing 4th gen Clothes, a 5th gen prop with a 6th gen character base, and had to tweak the materials a lot to get the silver colour.

My alias is set up and statted. Ready to go.

Though actually with this group built around melee, maybe I should switch him to an archer. It wouldn't be much trouble.

I do like the render. I have no skill in such things.

Omar: there is still time to do that. Youall can do minor character tweaks up until gameplay officially starts, aka: when Dellum walks in.

Guess we'll do the archer. You don't need that many front liners. Anyway, it's good to have a way to deal with flyers and such.

Ok ready as an archer. Amend bar post to be carrying a bow and not a scimitar.

@ GM
I don't have much skill either, Daz Studio does all the heavy work.

I'll finish up tonight. Mostly dealing with small things, spending the last 30,000 gp or so. Will probably grab a few more consumables, maybe up my AC a touch more.

I'll start us this evening then.

Given Rathis' description I could do a render,
though Omar's description is more vague.
I'll give both of them a shot either tomorrow night, or monday.

Thanks. Much appreciated!

Checking in. I have pretty much everything I need in my profile. I'll do my best to keep everything focused on me (GM Choon, check my profile for a "things the GM should know" spoiler; don't know why I didn't think of that sooner.)

I don't have a solid image of Omar in my head either personally.

I don't spend much time on what my characters look like as it is not something I think about. I worry about personality and abilities.

This is not to say I wouldn't appreciate such an effort, but it's just that I don't have any image in my head with which to help you. I would take him as a fairly average looking sort but of a middle eastern bent (Keleshite). He would be dressed in high quality but practical clothing (his armor is glamered so it can look like whatever he wants).

Oh also, since Omar is a guide, as long as you are within sight of me and can hear me you get +2 on initiative, perception, stealth and survival checks while in urban, underground or forest terrain.

Just finished most of the renders

Could not decide what was more "Used Adventure" like
Rathis_Thrice_Scorned_Sherwood
Rathis_Thrice_Scorned_Out

Omar

Corso

For Ferod, I have too little to go on.

If changes needed please tell me what, (is some cases, it'll not be possible or a crap load of work.)

I do plan on making a Height reference render so folks have each other in proper perspective, though I'd need heights.
And when I have the heights I can also make group renders

Rathis: ??
Omar: ??
Corso: ??
Ferod: ?6+?

It is true that time is something you are not short on for this module.

Omar is about 5'10". That is nice work there.

I know All the renders are 2400 pixels tall, so you can enlarge them to see minor details.

I'll think about a suitable idea for you to work with.

His cloak is reversible, dark mottled greys on one side, a deep crimson of the hellknights on the other (currently showing).

He wears a full set of chainmail with spiked gauntlets, scimitar and bow.

The chainmail is anodized dark in color, none of that shiny crap.

As for the character himself, something like a dark Kevin Spacey.

Not enough build/physical body information,
clothes/armour is limited to what I have.

And Height needs to be set; 6 foot 0, 6 foot 1, etc.

6' 3" medium/lithe build. While fit, he's primarily a caster, not a fighter.

Group tension! I like it. :)

Corso is actually 5'9". This surprises a lot of people.

Like the render, Corso?

Good thinking Ferod. I'll post what you find when I can today. Work, you know. Gets one all kinds of tied up.

ya, I think it works well for him (and is way more visually creative than I tend to be). Just wanted to make you aware that he's kinda short when it comes to putting characters together in a group shot kinda deal.

I look forward to seeing yours.

Mine was posted in the Gameplay thread already.

I'll put two of them here, to keep things grouped.

Armoured
Guard Clothes

I like my renders. I think I like the one without the hood better, but Rathis generally wears a hood to help keep a lower profile. :)

Size-wise, I figure he's probably about 6 feet tall.

Now you know why I had a hard time deciding on one set of clothes,
I'll set the height to 6 foot 2 (or 3).

Ferod_Coulserk_R0

I've set everyone's height, the height reference will be made soon.

Corso: 5'9"
Omar: 5'10"
Rathis: 6'3"
Ferod: 6'3"
Valeria: 6'6"

Height References

Ref 1 is 6800 pixels wide,
Ref 2 is 4400 pixels wide,
Both are 3200 pixels high,

Ref1
Ref2

So many thoughts cross my mind when I see your rendering...

Which one; The Armoured, The Guard Clothes, or a Height Reference

She's just as strong Corso, but not as bulky.
I tend to use the physical stats to help determine the look of the muscle; bulk, amount, detail etc.
I also tend to use CHA to help determine how curvy a female body is, as the Hourglass form is considered universally beautiful across multiple cultures.

I'm not sure I made this clear: Youall were providd the funerary baton and poem. Dellum didn't keep them.

I've got my ACG PDF,
so if guys are looking for something ask and I'll see if it's there.

Damn, I better go get that.

Was there much change to the brawler from the playtest? I felt they were pretty lacking.

Brawler got a few new goodies and it got Knockout earlier now (4th level)

Better just go buy my pdf since I'm all too eager to read it. Of course then I also have to buy the damned Herolab stuff too.

Thanks for the info.

I know, I was waiting to get the "Is Shipping" email.
