Jorry good.
We can go ahead and retire the Recruitment Tab. I'll work on getting an introductory gameplay post up tomorrow evening and kick this thing off officially.
If you're having any issues slapping your character together, Deresh, just let me know and I can offer some advice. At 1st level there aren't a lot of meaningful choices. It's mostly just picking a Background that fits and a Race. The class build options are pretty straightforward from there. Classes typically don't start picking up their specialties until 2nd or 3rd level.
Hmm. Here's my first stab at crunch. Can you check where I've gone wrong?
Your proficiency bonus applies to anything you are proficient in. That includes attacks, skills/tools, and saving throws. Bards are proficient in Dex and Cha saving throws.
Apologies for the mess; I used OrcPub to help generate my character and it inserted a number of standard half orc attributes.
I should be in better shape now, but don't have access to the Background selections. Are those listed online anywhere?
What's the expectation of game pace?
What's the expectation of game pace?
It'll be a relaxed pace in general. At the very least, speaking for myself, I tend to have Thursdays off. I usually catch Critical Role on the same night, so it's easy for me to make longer-winded posts as I listen. I'll try to move things a little more quickly through combat scenes. 5E is a pretty fast-paced combat system compared to 3rd edition/PF, and won't require as much thought on my part (lore-building, character descriptions, plot threads, etc.)
Sounds good
I expect to be around more than I have been so far...apologies to be so thinly stretched at the beginning of a campaign.
I'll be posting in Gameplay this weekend.
Jelani, Gyr? Y’all gonna post any in the gameplay?
I’m going to run a 5e Middle Earth Adventure if you are interested.
I’ll tailor the game to the player-heroes created.
I'm starting a week long business trip today returning Saturday. My posting will be irregular and opportunistic. Please bot me as necessary.
thanks
Hello! Life has grown increasingly hectic this past month, and promises to remain so for the foreseeable future. Fortunately this seems a good moment to have Deresh fade into the crowd without disrupting the storyline.
Thank you for the rp and best of luck to everyone!
Content to let this scene play out. When you are all agreed on a plan of action, I'll move things along and bow Deresh out.
Hey gang, I'm afraid that I've overcommitted (especially since the slow-down at work that I anticipated never arrived) and that I've been slowing this game down.
I signed up because I liked the idea of playing with yall (especially to play with Brimley again) and because 5e seems very interesting...but I'm struggling to keep up with my games and this keeps ending up being especially challenging for me since it's my newest and I'm trying to maintain my momentum as best I can in the rest.
My apologies for overcommitting and now bowing out, but I think it may make sense for the Brandy Bear to become an NPC (or just a happy drunk).
Well, taking a night to mull it over, I'm going to go ahead and fold this game. Instead, I'll be shifting gears to a different homebrew I've been tinkering with more recently and doing an open recruitment run. Part of the goal with this game was emphasizing the communal worldbuilding, weaving the char creation together, etc. Rather than bring in some new faces that missed that stretch of development, I'll just go with where most of my creative juices are currently flowing. There are no hard feelings involved, though. Truth be told, this other homebrew is more appealing to me overall--it is certainly the more unique take on 5e.
To Jelani and Jubal, if you guys want to migrate over to the new game as I get it set up, you're guaranteed a spot. If you'd rather not, that's okay too. The new setting features almost entirely unique racial options, so directly porting over your current characters would require a lot of repurposing.
Link me. I hope there's a fit.
cheers
Obviously you're not restricted to playing Belbajak, but if you're more interested in trying to port him over than come up with an entirely new concept, I'd say the Ghostwalker Meerk or Lowan are your best race options for getting anywhere close to a gnome.
Sorry to lead to this collapsing. Best of luck with the new campaign!
No worries man. I'm just as happy to run the other thing.
I somehow just saw this discussion...I thought the game just kinda died from no posting. I just went back to double check, and saw this. I guess I never dotted the discussion thread originally somehow.
It appears I've totally missed the train on the new game too. That's a shame, I was looking forward to digging into 5e more.
