Not at all Hyram, the cost is mine to bear. It was something I'd been planning on for some time :) Thanks for thinking of it though.
Sorry for the further delay, I'll work on getting my final prep done so we can get you guys back to it!
Al
No worries! I'd rather have things set up properly rather than start and have to stop. :)
I agree, even more so with everything going on!
We're still here and eagerly waiting; I doubt any of us plan on going anywhere!
The power supply on my computer died this morning. I am working on fixing it, but I do not know if it took anything else out with it. I will try to keep you all posted.
Still here!
Me too!
Soon, my friends.....soon!
Same!
And I'm patient!
Thankfully my degree in computer science proved useful! MY MACHINE LIVES!
Hi everyone, I'm formally withdrawing from this game. Life has been hitting me too fast, and when this restarts, I won't be able to give it the attention it deserves. Good luck, and I hope that you all have fun!
Hmm, that's too bad, was just about to restart...you'll be missed and a seat at our virtual table will be open to you should Real Life permit.
Everyone else, With Alikia's departure, you're back to the regulation 4 characters...just without arcane support.
I'm willing to press ahead, if you are :)
Al
@Alikia: I am sorry to see you go and hope to see you on the boards again.
@GM Spazmodeus: I am good either way!
I'm willing to give it a shot for a little while, at least. If we get to a point where we decide we need an arcane caster then we can recruit someone. I don't think it's necessary immediately.
I'm up for continuing! And I agree that we can try without an arcane caster then try and get one if we find we're failing.
Righto! Majority Rules!
Post forthcoming!
Woot!!
Aerianna, Iona....you guys out there?
Yeah! Sorry I had a evening shift and a morning shift back to back, just got home. I'll be replying right after my shower!
Hmm... did some digging and it seems that Aerianna's player has been absent from the boards since the last week of July.
I was ok with you guys going forth with 4, but 3 might be pushing it a bit...
Your thoughts and opinions? :)
Bring in another player with the option that Adrianna can return. With everything going on there could be hundreds of reasons the player left. Though yes we would like a heads up, we can't always get one.
And right now is the best time to bring someone in. However! Adrianna's character does have Radiance... Which is a huge deal in Wrath. So that should go to one of the players remaining.
Yes, I agree. We should recruit another player and that player should have Radiance. I am also cool with corwyn42 stepping in to pinch hit.
I want to keep going, too. I've never had a campaign get as far as this one has, so I want to fight for it as much as I can.
I don't know if I'd say that player should have Radiance. Unless they're a paladin then I totally agree they should have Radiance. Otherwise anyone with melee could pick it up. Of course we'd want it in the hands of a Paladin ideally but we don't always get the ideals.
Also if Corwyn wants to step in that isn't a problem with me. Saves us the recruitment phase... though if we'd like we could still do it looking for whatever Corwyn doesn't fill.
Perhaps, corwyn could make an arcane replacement for Akikia, Radiance goes to one of the current players....that keeps open the door for Aerrianna's possible return.
What say you?
Used 20 point buy and 108,000 gp as starting gold for 12th level character/5th tier (which is what Alikia looked like she had). Let me know what you think.
I'd vote Radiance should go to either Hyram or Iona. Aladir is not built for melee!
I tweaked my character to dip into the Hierophant Mythic Path to get Enduring Blessing.
That's fine.
You wouldn't happen to have that character in Hero Lab?
I do, is there a place I can upload the file?
Super...send it to braidwood.ad@gmail.com please :)
I offer Radiance to Hyram first before I'd take it. He has been apart of this game longer and as such should have first pick of the game associated weapon.
Updated character sheet once again. I think my interpretation of the Enduring Blessing Mythic Path ability was wrong. I don't think the benefit applies to spells that target objects (i.e. Abundant Ammunition) - only creatures. As a result, I modified my spell selections.
I have Mythic Heroism x2 and Stoneskin that I can cast on party members that should last all day. Let me know if there is a spell with a duration of 1 min/level or longer that you would like me to cast on you at the start of the day.
Another change to the character sheet. Hero Lab let me take Enduring Blessing a second time (which requires you to be 6th tier). So my path abilities and spell choices are changing again.
Hyram will take Radiance until Aerianna returns...
I do hope Aerianna returns. But on the chance they don't, Radiance will be in Hyram's hands for the game. I'm sure you'll use it well!
Also Milamber, sheet looks good!
My character studied at the same academy as Alikia in Nerosyan. We bonded over shared experiences of being raised by foster parents. Queen Galfrey was using Milamber mostly for weapons/armor construction as well as spell casting for the rich/powerful in Kenabres. He has also been engaged in various battles across the Worldwound - assisting in holding the line in many of the cities south of Sarkosa river.
hi guys,
Just wanted to get your feedback on in game information.
In my last big post , I provided information to 3 characters.
Afterwards , I kicked myself, as usually i'd have spoilered those three responses, as in each case only the character in question would have been aware of the information.
This is how I usually do it, provide the info in spoilers and let the player reveal the information in character; trusting the other players to either not read other player's spoilers, or not act on the information if they do read other player's spoilers.
I prefer it this way, promotes more role-playing.
Or, i can put everything out in the open, assuming that the characters would reveal all anyway...
What say you?
I don't mind it either way! I'm fairly skilled at keeping Character and player knowledge split. Though I will say this, if you do spoilers but also put something in the text that hint on something is wrong, even if my character cannot read the spoiler they will pick up on the words freely written. I actually had this problem in a game where the GM had a spoiler that told people the NPC was lying, but then put in the normal text that they seemed nervous. Which my character picked up on.
I agree that spoilers are the best approach. I am starting a Jade Regent Play by Post as the GM and that is how I intend to approach things. That being said, I will be the first to admit that I sometimes make mistakes and would hope that others would let me know if my plan needs adjusting. So far, I am just having fun playing :)
I third the spoiler approach mentioned by the others.
On a somewhat related note, let me know when you have that Jade Regent recruitment posted! JR was the first PbP game I've ever played in, and I've been in four different games, but none of them even made it past the first book. I'd love to have another go at it.
Sorry, the recruitment ended yesterday (Sunday). If I don't get too busy I may consider starting a second table.
Jade Regent's Recruiting Thread
I wasn't even the player who started the thread - it was another player who did not make the cut from this thread
Fort: 1d20 + 6 + 1d8 => (14) + 6 + (5) = 25
Iona, I thought your Fortitude bonus was +9 instead of +6. You also didn't add in the +4 morale bonus for Mythic Heroism. Your final roll should have been: (14) + 9 + 4 = 27. You shouln't have needed to use the mythic surge.
Yeah, I was tempted by both of those JR recruitments...but my focus these days is on GMing, and playing in the games I'm already in.
Rescued this and 3 other games, going to start one of my own soon-ish...
Ok, going to be spoilering stuff from now on
I grabbed her Reflex.... which is a +6....
I also forgot that Heroism goes to saves! XD
So just ignore the surge and my rush of stupidity!
No worries, just trying to save you a point of mythic power. Who knows, we may need it later.
Which I thank you! ^_^
Also, I'm doing a small experiment with Iona. Well really with her back ground. See since, like Milamber, she came in so late she has a few tiers under her belt. Which means she has trials under her belt. I want to figure out what her trials where, if at least in an over view since because I think it will help me understand Iona more as to what type of mythic hero Iona is. I know she's a Hierophant, and that she's a defender by nature. Because of her focus on the shield over the sword, because at this point the Bulwark of Victory is as important to Iona's character as the character herself.
So I'd gladly welcome suggestions. My creativity has... drained as of late. My work is just.... circling horribly. Overworked, underpaid, and stressing out! XD
I also agree with the spoilers.
@Milamber: Keep Gundar in mind if you open a 2nd game or need a replacement.
@Hyram: If you can put together a group of six players from this list, I will open a 2nd game:
Best Friend: Ameiko
* Filona Fiorde (player Anthorg) - Female, CG, Gnome Sorcerer (Fey bloodline)
* Lykàn Deliss (player nightdeath) - Male, CG, Human Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager/Beastskin Berserker)
====
Caravan Guard
* Gundar Ironbeard (player Briccone) - Male, LG, Cleric of Torag
====
Foster Child: Koya
* Amely Petri (player Daynen) - Female, True Neutral, Kitsune Sorcerer (Nine-tailed Heir)
* Zura Mvashti (player Veltent) - Female, NG, Changeling Fighter (Mutation Warrior)
====
Hero Worship: Shalelu
* Posh Stemtimple (player Zahir ibn Mahmoud ibn Jothan) - Male, LG, Gnome Cavalier (Emissary)
* Okichiko Kyube (player theasl) - Female, NG, Kitsune Socerer (Nine-tailed Heir\Wildblooded)
I would rather not disappoint anyone again, so if you can do that for me - I will make a 2nd game. NOTE: If you want, you can include others, this is just all the ones I know are interested.
