Congratulations to the family and its newest member. May the blessing of a very sleepy baby come to you, Drazen (Amergin).
I'm open to the idea of an alternate communication channel. I use Skype but could learn another.
Congratulations Drazen.
I'm not sure my computer can support any sort of voice communications. It has some issues. Won't play the audio of youtube for instance.
Discord is an IM set up with the option if voice chat hut you can ignore it. But it might help because we'd still be able to keep in contact went the site is down.
Picked up a terrible case of food poisoning, at the hospital getting IV's will be back up to posting Monday i hope Sorry >.<
That's no fun. I hope you have a speedy recovery, Herger.
That's bad Herger, get well soon, and no need to apologize for illness it hits all of us one time or another.
That sounds terrible, and I hope you get better swiftly.
Okay, I'm not sure what is going on now. The GM says that we've entered a valley with a lonely dead oak tree in sight. He also said that in the valley (which I thought we just entered not exited) our sight of Old Sycamore is blocked with this oak clearly in sight. Also Sycamores are not oak trees, totally different types of trees, as far as I know. So someone is confused as to where we are and if the tree in sight is the Old Sycamore or not. It could well be me, but GM could you resolve this please? Thanks.
I might have just mistaken it for the Old Sycamore, I'm not 100% sure either! XD
The old sycamore is a major landmark. You can't see it just now because of being in a low place. So, it's a different tree.
I completely agree :)
I want to get it but I no has the money yet! >_<
But I am glad it's good!
I don't think this old computer can support the Kingmaker game. Makes me want to get a new one.
*Shakes fist at paizo.... or perhaps at myself for a post disapearing and not noticing*
Sorry gang. I’m AFK don’t have the AP or rule book with me. Vacation and we’ve been busy. Long days, and tired after.
That's okay, GM Waterhammer, enjoy your vacation, just let us know when things can resume.
Yeah enjoy your Vacation man! Not enough people take them now days it seems....
Map is up. The link titled Open Land.
As we have left our mounts behind, shall I dismount?
Also how was the trip? ^_^
Yeah, leave them behind if you've dismounted. Drag them off to the side I guess.
The trip? Let's see. Boat tipped over, and I fell out. White water rafting. No big deal, though I did punch the river; got 3 bloody knuckles out of that. That was on the Lower Gauley River in West Virginia.
Also toured Colonial Williamsburg, Gettysburg, and D.C. for 2 days. Stayed at a timeshare in the middle of Chancellorsville battle field.
Lots of driving, long days, and not enough sleep, but fun. Didn't drive over, flew out of Las Vegas to Baltimore; then took train to DC. Got rental car there.
I was thinking Titian was mounted, but I guess not.
I know that Autumn dismounted and asked the group that if they followed her to dismount as well and even rolled a Handle animal check for Frostbite to guard the horses.

Yeah, this is where the confusion happened.
Maybe I should have assumed that your character was still mounted, Titian, but your numbers were for fighting on foot. I went with that because it made the badly overmatched spider combat a little more exciting.
Which might be bad form on my part, Titian is obviously a person who would prefer to fight from the back of a mount.
I will be out of town starting the 30th of October to about the 4th of November. Please Bot me as necessary. I will have phone access to posting though the area i am traveling too cell reception is spotty.
Only Torek saw the corpse right?
It's not really hidden, Autumn can see it also.
Sorry about my slow posting, that might continue for a while. My sister had an operation and my time may be limited for this week.
...and I am pretty much gone this week... Back on the 20th!
So, I came across this forum while looking up stuff for the kingmaker video game they put out as I wanted more information on it since reviews are so mixed. What do you all think of these and GM would you be willing to possibly using them?

Let me tell you something straight!
The game has his flaws. But they are fixed.
BUT IT IS UTTERLY AWESOME!!!!!!
Really as good as Baldur´s Gate.
And it is HARD! I MEAN HARD. If you do not play clever the monsters will REALLY steamroll you!
But it is sooo much fun. And my friends play it too. And they really solve problems differently. And that is a rare GEM!
Interesting feats...
Yeah, I went ahead and got it and I see what you mean. Though at least my worries of it ruining the story are gone. The part with the Mites and Kobolds is vastly different than it is here!
Also while looking for art for a different character I stumbled upon Titian's armor! XD
Erastian knight after all!
Seems like the Kingmaker AP has the best replay potential. The three times I've played it were all vastly different. (Twice as a player and this game now.)
I really enjoy this game, the PBP I mean, though the video game is pretty good too.
Also is people want to do back rping I am totally up for that! She made a comment that Torek might want to talk about and she did ask Herger something, right before I found out his player would be afk for a while! XD
Sorry Autumn, I haven't really taken the time to look at the feats. I don't really have an excuse for that either. Been doing other things. (Cleaning the fuel jets on my motorcycle and such. It runs great again now, pretty happy about that. So there was riding, and beer drinking with the friend that helped me with the work.) But I did have the time, I just haven't looked the feats over yet.
As for unfinished conversations, carry on with those as much as you want. Just makes sure that the time is labeled. You guys get a good conversation going, and I stand back to let it go, but then it kind of dies out, so I feel like I need to move the game along.
I'm actually thinking of adding an NPC to the group so I can participate in the discussions. Might turn in to a DMPC, so I hesitate to do so.
It's cool man, I totally get that. You remember something you need/want/should do and just do that instead. I don't hold that against you. It wasn't so pressing that it needed to be done right the moment so I wasn't too worried! ^_^
I never mind GMPCs! They can often be a 'hey you guys missed this so this guy now sees it' key. Which can be very useful in some cases.
Sorry about not posting recently caught up in some family stuff but seems okay now.
RE: The Feats of Rulership - They are useful but very specific, we may need somewhat quick retraining rules if the jobs swap around often. I know the RAW on the council positions encourage keeping one or too jobs forever but few government really worked that way, positions changed often. Still I don't object to their availability.
RE:Pathfinder:Kingmaker video game - Not as enthused as some. There are a lot of good ideas here but I find the execution somewhat lacking. The bugs were serious and game breaking and according to boards I've read the later bugs still haven't been fixed well enough. I don't find overwhelming attacks fun either in an RPG, that makes it more of a tactical combat game than I would prefer. So for now I say to anyone that doesn't already have it to wait for a good sale then buy it, hopefully much improved. That's my grumpy take but I am tired of games being released buggy; it happens way too often.
DMPC's are fine but there are two major things to watch out for. One they can draw valuable and limited attention to the overall game from the DM and two the DM need to make sure that character doesn't outshine the other PCs. I'm not worried about the later with you GM Waterhammer, but the first part is a bit of concern.
RE:Kingmaker repeat ability. Totally dead on here. Every GM interprets the story differently. It is a sandbox and one that lends itself to creative interpretation by everyone that plays it.
It's cool man! Family stuff happens and very often during the holiday time!
tail end of holiday crazies at work are behind me, should be able to focus better now, sorry for the dragging.
So here are some kits and items we might want to think about getting when we can. The kits are both thematic and useful for the group and since we've set it up that Autumn actually cooks for the group grabbing up some simple things to make this easier is always helpful. Some of the things on the food list I am sure Autumn can find but for those she cannot I have listed their price by pound and how much of each a group of our size would possibly use for a fortnight. Though what she can find and what she can't is up to the GM and her rolls. Although I couldn't find how much a spindle of wool thread is so... GM I'm gonna need a price on that please!

Did Autumn or Torek get anything on Fangberries?
I needed to think about that for a bit. The region is by definition unmapped, so k, geography probably shouldn't work. Survival won't help you find places you have never been too either. It will keep you from getting lost as you search for places though. On the other hand, Bokken gave vague directions, and you have mapped some of the area, so i gave you some landmarks in the general direction.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
Hope everyone had a nice Holiday!
GM, can we hunt or do we have to wait?
The afternoon is open for whatever you want to do.
Do we skill have a cleric? I know the holidays are kinda crazy...
Sorry Folks, been a rough end of the year and start of the new one. Im here if you will still have me.
Well you have good timing. Looks like we really need a cleric for this! XD
I'm glad to keep you around of course! ^_^
