Anody is neutral on any potential NPC addition.
Good on you!!! I've pledged Hardcover, all of the modules and the Map Folio... Looks like I'm going to have to pledge another 12 dollars for the Tome of Monsters!!! And hope that it grows all the way to 64 horrific urban monsters, miscreants and malcontents...
...and Chillblame, running makes just as much sense as 'running it'...
NPC addition, I'm probably fine either way... My preference, if it is possible, would be to get some new players to keep it fresh - and keep the load on the GM manageable...
I have a player who is creating a character as we speak, should be up and able to play by tomorrow. But I have no problem running an extra npc, to give the party some extra muscle.
Truth be told, Mel is growing on me as a character.

Hi, I'm the one Chilly is talking about. This will be my first time playing PbP but i have over 10 years exp playing tabletop games. I will be bringing in a Tian Fighter specializing in spear dancing from the new Weapon Masters Handbook.
Getting used to PbP for the first time does take awhile..
@Nemina Sho
I can make you a character render,
but I'd need more then a height of 5 foot 3, and orient heritage.
i.e build, hair style, hair color, eye color, clothing style just to name the basics.
-----------------------
Daz is having a genesis 2 blowout sale
Make great character renders and scenes for GMs and players alike.
I'll also get around to updating the character renders based on gear if possible.
Hi Nemina, welcome to the game (and to PbP) - looking forward to adventuring with you...
Hi guys thanks for the welcome.
Ayla thanks for the offer. Sho is 5'3', 160 lbs, tanned skin, black hair, violet eyes. He is fairly slim with more athletic muscles than bodybuilder muscles.
In combat he wears O-yoroi armor (samurai plate) that is fairly simple in design, no real embellishments to speak of. He has a red cloak and carries a naginata to war.
The body and hair is doable, though the armour and cloak are not possible, since I don't have that pre-made content for Daz.
In fact O-yoroi is not in their library at Genesis or newer quality.
Though they go have a few other oriental armours at that quality or better, I'll need to check my library to see if I have any.
Anything you can manage would be appreciated.
Welcome to the game Sho. I'm the opposite. I've only ever played Pbp *lol*
To each their own, it's mainly because I was playing before the internet became prevalent.
Yes you old man you
:D
Like you can talk I just started playing with family when I was 8. Weekly when I was 18.
GM, with respect to the NPC characters... Which would you rather utilise? I'm thinking it's either Mel or the android... Which would be most fun for you? I will steer Sharae's discussion in whichever direction works best...
Mel. I like the character.
Hey, just checking in to say I've been dealing with sick kids and haven't been able to keep up with the action. Hopefully I'll have a chance to catch up tomorrow.
Cool, get better
Sharae, i note your character still says level 4. Have you leveled?
Sharae, i note your character still says level 4. Have you leveled?
Ooops, I forgot to do the honours in the character tab... All levelled (just to Cleric 5... Maybe some multiclass shenanigans next level!!!)....
I really don't think it matters much. Should we vote or flip a coin for skiffs or boat? Don't know if timing matters in this. Like if we go for skiff the boat might be taken over or something.
How's that? :)
Risk vs Reward.....
Weighing options....
Let's go with the skiffs
Skiffs it is
well I have a map, but you are a bit closer than my description
The map is above.
notes. The wood you are in entends north and west to the edge of the map. the wood near the enemy is not there, though the rock is. The bridges do not exist, neither does the other bank (the sellen river is quite wide)
you can rearrange yourselves in the wood before the first round.
Hooray - zombified undead!!! Get ready for the burning light (rainbow hued obviously) of Desna!!!
TLDR: Sharae (when it's her turn) is going to rock out with some Channels!!!
Chilly, I think you got the initiatives for the human and zombies mixed up.
yup. See gameplay for details
Another minor error. The zombie's attack is +7 not +5 and damage is 1d6 + 6
Hey all
have a look at this. This is the kickstarter page for 7th sea, a game I really liked in its day. Well they are putting out a 2nd edition, and wow, look at the response.
They asked for $30000
So far they have $540000...and there is still 28 days to go. They keep adding more stretch goals.
This looks really good.
Wow... Looks really good... I'll have a download of the quickstart and see what the excitement is about... Because clearly people are VERY excited about this one (chucking in ALL of the pdf's for the 1E edition seems to have been a masterstroke!)
Alright. Anody is going to make a suggestion but he really leaves all the tactical talk to the actual fighters. Plus I think this is the first time we've actually got a decision to make and I'm guessing that Sharae, Ayla, and Sho would want to try and help the fort.
you guessed it right, Ayla would prefer helping the fort.
Criek as well -- but given the cap's opinion of ratfolk, he's not going to pick a fight over it.
Sho is quite disappointed in the uncaring attitude of the captain. Not to mention if the boat and the crusaders joined forces the pirates would be unlikely to win.
Unfortunately while Sho is a fighter, he is a dex-based fighter with only 13 Str, he may not be the best to release the ship, but he would be the best to lead the defence afterwards.
Ayla good with going down to release the chain?
Well... It won't be Sharae!!!!
Apologies if it feels like I'm not adding anything... I kinda lost track of where everyone was when Criek / Anody split off with 'Ratty'... But it seems like we're back together talking strategy?
You can assume that you are all talking to each other.
Information for you
the captain is neutralish in alignment, and is focused on his survival, his crew, his ship and his profit line. Why should he want more than escape from this situation. The crusaders are warriors, so this is their issue.
further more, sho, he has around 7 crew left, out of 12. None of whom are dedicated warriors. He will not charge the barriade, not without large incentive. He has enough to crew the ship, little more. He could be persuaded to give missile support for you to attack.
It is up to this party to win here, not the npc's. Roleplay and diplomacy will determine how much the captain will help.
criek, the captain is not against ratfolk in specific, just short people.
Sho understands all this, he just doesn't understand why someone would not want to win glory and honor. He doesn't think the captain or his men are cowards, just different.
Besides, Sho is more than willing to put himself in harms way rather than risk someone that does not wish to fight.
Sho is a little strange
;)
Sorry DM - spamming your discussion thread for a moment!!!
I may just have done a bad thing... I've opened a recruitment thread for another game!!!
All of the games I am GM'ing at the moment (Emerald Spire, Shattered Star and Legendary Planet) are long running campaigns but it's also fun to run the occasional 'one off' adventure... having run Godsmouth Heresy (a few times!!!), Feast of Ravenmoor (admittedly inserted into my Shattered Star campaign) and Wardens of the Reborn Forge - I have decided to see if people have any interest in From Shore to Sea...
If any of you folks are interested then take a mosey over to: Here is the Recruitment Thread.
Happy Easter everyone!
The same to all
Quick question is the fort gate 10ft across or 15?
15 feet
I don't know whether any of you have seen this?
Kickstarter for Legendary Games' "Trail of the Apprentice"
Something for Pathfinder parents - an age appropriate 'Adventure Path' with some simplified rules as well... I've got my eight year old who is an avid reader and loves playing games, but things like Carrion Hill and From Shore to Sea probably aren't so appropriate... I am hoping this is going to be a great entry point. I've backed and it's already funded so now it's really just a case of what else gets added to it...
Whose turn is it?
I think we are around to Orcs, Orc Shaman and Zombie Ogre - think you're up GM?
