Hello person whose family was slain by giants, my family was also slain by giants. lets kill giants. :D
Puppy!!! :-D
Hey all. A question and a request.
Question: are there any objections to reading spoilers text, whether in play or in a character's profile background? I just saw in the general discussion a thread on this and noticed there were a range of opinions. I have to GM all my F2F games so I think I'm pretty good at separating what I know in character from meta game knowledge, but I also want to respect any boundaries folks want.
Request: I've been playing F2F exclusively the last seven or so years. Before that, my "text-based" experience was in old school MUSHes and MUDs, where interaction was live and constant. So, this is a new format for me. (To wit, I'm trying to refrain from over-posting or writing long walls of text.) I've read the guides and a few gameplay threads (for inspiration in my F2F games), but if you have any suggestions of feedback on what I could do better, please let me know.
What I put in spoiler are the "secrets" the GM ask for. I don't know if he is ok with us reading each other ones?
I use my spoilers just to keep pages from being six miles long, so I'm okay with having mine read.
I don't mind having mine read either. If something is especially private we can pm the GM or put a comment next to the spoiler to warn each other off.
Yeah, I guess I should have said folks are very welcome to read mine (if they need a cure for insomnia). I just didn't want to cross any boundaries. If Mathpro says otherwise, that's fine, too. :-)
I generally use spoilers for stuff that characters wouldn't know (different languages and such) don't mind if players want to read. If it an issue I'll make it clear in the spoiler or send a PM.
Hey all I was in one of Mathpros rotrl campaigns before he took his hiatus...
I noticed this campaign yesterday...If you have any openings... I have a Kensai (not the shocking grasp type, but a tripping dirty trick maneuver guy) that I would love to play..
OK, that is all...Had to give it a shot. If there are no openings, that is cool and I hope you have a great campaign
Well, while we're waiting, I guess we can chat. What kind of builds was everyone thinking? I'm not sure but I might actually go some kind of combat maneuver route. Trip or dirty trick, maybe?
Mathpro's exam is today so hopefully you and the Druid will get approved soon.
I love seeing people make use of combat maneuvers.
For once, I don't really have a long term plan in mind, but I'm leaning towards a mix of buffs for you guys and enchantments for enemies. Probably make up my mind after seeing how the group is working. I don't see Fyn being much of a warrior priest; you guys seem to have that covered. (Was someone also going to be rolling up a monk, or did that person decide on a different class?) I feel like there was a 7th PC in the wings.
I'm torn between a classic minmaxed-for-CAGM barbarian and a less classic but still awesome spirited charge jump-on-the-druid-and-go RAGELANCEPOUNCE build. Either way I'm getting Spell Sunder at 6th and aiming for Greater Beast Totem by 10th, and probably going to jump on the druid and go anyways (but at x2 damage instead of x3).
I plan to use dazing fireballs as my mainstay, admixing for best effect depending on enemy resistances.
I might splash in a single level of cross blooded sorceror, orc/primal fire, but I'm not sure. That would give me +1 damage per die, +1 damage per fire die, and 4 more cantrips. Maybe at level 6.
Rock it mathpro. Then drink a lot to blast those neural connections you just built.
About Gurcich, I plan to make it a "caster" druid, and not a "mount" one :P
But Karvili, if befriended, is another story.
Gotcha. In that case I'll go CAGM for my main plan then, and leave trying to jump on people for a desperation tactic borne of desperation and... tactic.
Since trained dire bat mounts are probably going to be rare around here and all.
I'm sorry I've been so quiet folks, I've been swamped with life and health issues. Tomorrow, I swear I will get my rogue up and running.
At the moment Uli will share his combat rounds between buffing, debuffing, spouting on endlessly, and shooting stuff with a crossbow. Depending on warforged's build he may also dabble in stabbing stuff later on.
Hey, Warforged. Sorry to hear about the trouble. Hope you bounce back soon.
LOLs @ Uli and Barb--- I'm thinking I'm going to need to come up with a dramatic reaction to the bumblebee thing. Likely involving a morningstar and a bad guy's head. [-;
BEE GUY AM ALSO SMASH. VERY GOOD.

Alrighty, this is Warforgedman here and here is my rogue for the AP. It has been a long time since I did a two-weapon fighting rogue blender, so here he is. Unbelievably good at noticing things and at 3rd level, will be adding my Dexterity to the damage of my short swords. He'll specialize in flanking and supporting the front line. He also is pretty decent in finding the best item in a treasure horde with that Goblin Watcher ability.
He also is friends with Ameiko, which gives us a little more moolah every time we sell things.
If Krios was in town during the Chopper murders, I wonder if he and Fyn would know (or know of) each other. Fyn grew up in town but left after the church burned down. With 1,000+ people, could be easy to miss each other, but not exactly a lot of non-humans either so they might stand out. Tots up to you.
Yeah, he was definitely in town during that time. His mother was one of the Chopper's victims. Krios himself and his father tended to keep to themselves for a bit but he's a young elf and used anything as an excuse to try and escape his boredom/loneliness. As an aasimar, Krios could've definitely known you previously. Maybe acquaintances and almost-friends before Fyn left?

Sounds good. When I get a break from work, I'll shoot you a PM. A few ideas running through my head.
Sounds good to me!
@Gurich - If you're interested, perhaps Krios is the one who is trying to get you to meet the people of Sandpoint? He is a friendly sort and maybe helped Gurich out of some trouble at some point, maybe his "mother" was sick and Krios helped pay for it when the the wild child was caught stealing?
I just like the idea of the rogue and the druid being friends. :D
After reading the story written so far and seeing our current cast of characters, I'm excited to see the shenanigans we'll end up in trying to save Sandpoint.
I'm looking forward to it, too! (Hopefully I won't run out of healing when the bard gets hit with a lightning bolt.) :-o
;-)
Barb/Trinam-- so, the other night, I was rolling up a barbar for an Iron Gods campaign and I do a search for an archetype and guide, and this guide comes up with someone typing in all caps and with funny phrases like "THIS AM GOOD BARBARIAN YOU AM TELL FROM +5 CLOAK OF RESISTANCE AND NO SHIRT".
I LOLd. Fun guide. Had no idea we had someone "published" in the group. :-)
Of course, this means, Barbarian A Barbarian better be flawless. ;-)
I know right! When I saw the caps thing here I was about to internally judge you for copying when I realized. Congrats!
It's still derivative either way, it's just that I'm copying myself to follow through with this one fresh prince of bel air meme that I did one time like four years ago.
@Fyn: I make no promises whatsoever other than the promise of SMASH. And probably never wearing an actual shirt if I can help it. And hopefully a tragic allnight addiction starting at ~6th level. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed the read and good luck with your barbarian. :D
Simpsons did it. (It's all derivative. This is when the empire declines.)
@Gurich - If you're interested, perhaps Krios is the one who is trying to get you to meet the people of Sandpoint? He is a friendly sort and maybe helped Gurich out of some trouble at some point, maybe his "mother" was sick and Krios helped pay for it when the the wild child was caught stealing?
Sounds great! Let's do that!
Krios is the one trying to get Gurcich come and live in Sandpoint, and right now would be the person Gurcich trust the most.
I've got my fingers crossed we'll start moving forward today or tomorrow. I think mathpros last exam was yesterday. Looking forward to this and the cast of characters we've assembled.
Cheers to that! I hope you're exam went well Mathpro and that you bless me with your wonderful approval powers :D

Hey GM. Any update?
Well, it's been almost two weeks since we saw Mathpro. I'm going to stop checking this board but if it picks up I would still be interested. Please PM me if that happens.
:-(
-sad face as well- This is disappointing, I hope he comes back soon.
I was in a game with him before (One of the best groups I've worked with, still going strong) it was a shame when he felt he couldn't run the game anymore but, crucially, he was very communicative with us. He explained what was going on and that he had to pull out.
I don't see why this would be any different. I'm still hopeful he will be back.
Here's hoping, yeah.
