Reck is very much better at screaming until he gets his way than whispering sweet nothings. I literally lol'd at that roll.
Heehee. Poor Reck. No friends!
Fine! I'll just have to shovel shit out of the bilges all by myself! That's fine!
*sniff*
It's OK Reck. I still love you... just not enough to help you in the bilges...
Lexi: Any chance we can at least know who's openly hostile or openly friendly?
So far the ones that are openly hostile are the ones you already know - Scourge and Plugg. :) You could probably guess that the four people who came to try and beat you up this morning aren't friendly, though of course they may also have been following orders.
Sandara is definitely friendly, and Rosy seems to have warmed a bit over dislike of the gnome. Grok is at least not hostile, and Fishguts is friendly with everyone in a superficial kind of way.
I'm hoping this is coming across in scenes - I think how someone feels about you is a lot more swishy than a straight 'helpfulness level' rule ... I understand why its there and I haven't gotten rid of it (I have a neat little sheet with all this), but I'd like to mask it with at least a little fourth wall. ;)
If you want to cold read someone you haven't talked to, well, that would be sense motive check, which can be part of your filler actions.
Make sense?
Cool beans. Can we get a heads up who was on the brute squad this morning, then?
I knew I forgot something! Slippery Syl, Jaundiced Jape, Fipps Chumlett, and Aretta Bansion.
Danke Shoen.
You guys keep me on my toes. ^.^
man why does the whole world decide to come to life when I go to bed?
finally chance to get a post or two and I might as well be fish bait... half the day is done already.
Night shift CNC machinist here. I work 9PM-5AM EST (GST +5), which apparently lines up with thai time pretty well. I mostly post from my phone, which makes the bracket tags a real joy to get straight.
guess my timing's a bit off at some points. I try to check once around noon CST and around midnight or shortly after, since those are my wake up and end of work times.
Sorry Noro! I'm spoilering so it's seperate for ya, the day won't move on till stuff's done. :)
In other news, I'm moving home to the US soon ... So my posting should both even out and be at normal times. Lol.
If I may make a suggestion, it might help the flow out if Lexi posts when we're allowed to state our nighttime actions. That way we can post day actions, resolve our rolls, and then banter until everyone is caught up, then move into the night phase together.
ATM I think we're just waiting on Sarenth and Durvin's scenes (I haven't forgotten you Durvin!) ... If others want to do anything RPish in between go ahead, or post your evening actions as there's no more 'plot' for today. :)
Sorry guys - out drinking tonite - will get you all stuff in the morning :D
Apologies about the slowness. Was the last day at work today so there was a lot of running around to do, and now I've had to move all my work onto my ipad with a wireless kb. Seems to be great so far, we'll see how well I hold up without a laptop! :D
Not a problem at all.
Hope everyone's Easter is going well! I'm mustering up the energy to write a bunch for my various games tonight. Never fear! :D
At 3rd level, reck can gain a familiar through magus arcana. Chrrr?
GET YOUR OWN LIZARD, THIS ONE IS THE GM'S! ;)
Heehee. :) I hope to smatter interesting animals throughout things - I'm a fan of animals that way, I think we can find you something interesting, Reck...
Ok, well, now I have to come up with an RP cookie for you all because the current scenes and things are making me giggle. :) I'm so glad I picked all of you! :D
Adopt meeee! Adopt meeeee! CHIRRRR!
Tooky tooky. :D
All pirates need odd pets. :D
Maybe the egg contains twins? Or I'm sure we can find some interesting stuff at sea. Seagulls. Rats. Fish. Octopi. Turtles?
OCTOPUS FAMILIAR. You can throw it at peoples' faces. That'll startle'em!
and when not needed, you can wear it like a hat.
Heehee. Brain sucker!

As addictions are diseases, they can be cured as such, through the use of spells like remove disease or by succeeding at Fortitude saves over time. Unlike with other diseases, an addicted character can only make a Fortitude save to overcome his addiction after a day of not taking the drug he is addicted to. The DC of this Fortitude save is equal to the highest addiction DC his drug use has reached (not necessarily the DC that addicted him if he has continued to make use of the drug while addicted). This DC decreases by –2 for everyday the character does not make use of the drug, to a minimum of the drug's base addiction DC. Depending on the severity of the character's addiction, it might take two or three consecutive successful Fortitude saves to overcome the disease. Should a character take a dose of the drug he's addicted to, he immediately relapses, causing the addiction DC to instantly return to its highest DC and negating any successful past saves.
Just letting you all know, tomorrow, I'll be getting on a plane to the US. So there will be a huge gap of time where I will most likely not be online. I might check in from Beijing, but I can't guarantee it. Also, I'll be in the states for about a week, and I'm sure I'll have internet at various points, but I'll also be moving stuff and visiting friends, so I might not be available quite as much as I have been. Aside from my day in the Beijing Airport I should manage once a day just the same though!
lex sent ya a PM earlier...
I knew I forgot to reply to something....
S'all good. We're making more progress here than any other pbp I've done. I'm spending a week on regular people hours, so less time for me to post than night shift.
We'll miss you Lexi. If you wind up in the Philly area, I'll happily buy you a drink sometime.
We'll miss you Lexi. If you wind up in the Philly area, I'll happily buy you a drink sometime.
I would too but there might be bridge involed. (I'm just across the river Dart)
I'm with Reck. This is making some really good progress.
Also, likewise if you wind up near SF.
Lol that's where I live, when in the states!
Rockin' the C-L-E right here. whoo midwest!
Sarenth & Lexi, my wife and I went to SF for our honeymoon and loved the city. My favorite part: the maritime national park. I fell in love with the Eppleton Hall and really enjoyed touring the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brian. If I lived out yonder I would spend ALL OF THE TIMES! restoring those lovely ships.
My plan for midlife crisis is to build a replica of the Eppleton and make it a sea-going houseboat. Already got a name picked out. PS (paddle steamer) Coals to Newcastle.
I went there once on a field trip while I was stationed in Monterey, but we just went to a part of the town for the culture of my language class. I LOVE Monterey though, the place is beautiful. I'm originally from NW Oregon, but live out on the East coast now.
I was in San Francisco a few years back before taking a cross-country train trip. I loved the town. I'm fairly sure I spent the whole time in museums, but I do that everywhere.
Wow...I'm the odd one out, it seems. Never been west of Texas. Seen plenty east though...
Good god its cold in Beijing...
Trade ya. weather's starting to warm up here in TX, and I much prefer winter at any opportunity.
Okay, so I have a definite preference when it comes to spoilering conversations. I'm not a fan.
I think it discourages open involvement, and perpetuates the idea that you should only bother reading DM posts and ones with your name spoilered. When you are at a Tabletop game do you consistently step aside for every conversation you have where other PC's aren't present?In all honesty, I have opened and read every spoiler, in every game, and let them know I read them. It's the same separation of player vs. character knowledge I use to play AP's that I also run.
Also, could we get clarification on whether befriending the crew is an individual increase or as a group. Meaning, do each of us need to influence Grok, or would one of us friending her count for the whole group? Are we considered a group yet?
I'm with you about spoilering actually, I just don't want to clutter up stuff too much for someone looking for something specifically for them. I read everything anyway because I'm curious in my games. I should clarify that the spoilers are merely for organization ... I expect and encourage ya to read each other's stuff. But you don't have to post with them, either. The entire point of this excersize writing and playing with other people!
I am opening up the spoilers cause I realized it got a little crazy there a bit, and I want things to be more open.
You are considered a group, mostly because of Plugg and Scourge. And you guys have been more or less friendly with eachother - so you friend people as a group. :)
I've only recently (read: last few months) gotten used to PBP games, and the spoiler thing took awhile to really grasp. I find there are quite a few uses for it, space saving being a big one, but it's also appropriate for simulating things happening that one or more people normally wouldn't know. Doesn't HAVE to be used to keep secrets, unless that's what we all agree to, but it does allow some of us who HATE the kind of spoilers that ruin a story (I have a few friends who do that on a regular basis) to keep the suspension of disbelief going until the right moment.
I basically skip spoilers that are tagged for someone specific, and have gotten a good feel for those that are just space savers and those that my character should skip.
Okay, then as a rule for this game and all games I run, I am now stating - if its something that I only need one person to see, I'll PM it. :) I spoiler things so that if you're reading along happily and need to go find the thing I meant for you to respond to, it'll have your name on it. But I def. think you should all be reading eachother's stuff - I picked ya cause I like you and your characters; share the love! :) I trust you to keep things seperate. If you DON'T want to read what other people are doing, you don't have to, though.
However, whatever you guys prefer is fine with me. Its just my attempt to be organized, nothing more! Include everyone! :D
NO ORGANIZATION...LET CHAOS REIN!!!
Says the barbarian.
I can shift over to only spoilering critical stuff or for length. I got into the habit when I was running a couple of PBPs. I would give each player the results of their individual checks, and they could choose to act accordingly and share information as they decide. And I'll start reading the spoilers for other people. Hadn't been doing that.
