DM Rah's Strange Aeons

Game Master Kobash

@ GM - I'm not seeing a lot of damage inflicted on the good Watchmen. Please advise, if I'm missing something. Or other PC's advise if you are under half. I'll heal instead of getting the War Razor into play.

I see how it is Fearless. You want Player vs Player combats. I see how you are playing this. You even "Demi Lovato'd me" with your Sorry/Not Sorry.

Laughing! I LOVE this game. It's like no other.

Hehehe, sorry bout that I totally missed that Jaspar went down.

@ Fearles. Just a quick FYI. Did you want to use one of your two bottlecaps? Not certain it's needed, but I don't want you coup de grad'd if a reroll could have helped. I don't think Underhill will survive, but ...........

Its all good, it is fitting for him being overpowered by himself I think. Wile Fearless doesn't trust all you I certainly trust you all to drop that jerk :)

Happy five years of playing Strange Aeons! I really can not believe that it’s been five years of insanity. For the first time, I can say that and it’s very true and not a play on words. All the people, including himself, that Brother Butterfly is traveling with is insane!
I look at this and I think about how I’ve known Fearless and Cats and Mariner longer than I have any of my employees or co-workers! I have known them longer than FOUR The Fast and the Furious movies (BTW, not even seen one of them). This next one will jar all of you, when we first started, Olivia Rodrigo hadn’t even been old enough to date all these boyfriends she’s trashing in her teeny-bopper songs that are all the rage of 2021.
F-I-V-E years. That’s way longer than I dated any of my past girlfriends (except my current wife of 15 years). That’s longer than all but one of my cars have survived (my truck lasted a decade). What I’m getting at is that Cats, Fearless, Mariner, and my Doopleganger brethren-- that are attacking Mariner’s ship right now and killing his crew --have known each other a significant chunk of my life.
Thank you – you insane yahoos for the fun and memories as we progress the story even further forward.

Hmmm...

You know I've been playing PbP for about 10 years?
You know that I've had some of the longest (most posts) on these boards? Many of my completed campaigns are in the top 50.

And you know what else is true? I have more memories in this campaign with you yahoos than I do in any other, no matter the length. Even if Kast is surrounded by crazy people, it's working and wouldn't change a thing.

This is good s@#&.

Heck yea! I have only been on here for 6 years now I believe and this is one heck of a Campaign with you insane people.

Where the heck do you see Top 50 Campaigns at?

You know that I've had some of the longest (most posts) on these boards? Many of my completed campaigns are in the top 50.

I’m trying to understand this too.. completed campaigns in top 50.. I know you are a posting maniac, but are you saying you’ve played close to 50 campaigns, or that you have a list of the top 50 longest campaigns and you’ve been in a lot of them?

Either way, wow.

Also, you crazy bast@Ed’s are the soul of this campaign. Another group would have murder-hobo’d to the end already, but there is so much great roleplaying here that a throwaway scene often becomes an inspiring moment. I sometimes need a few days just to process and compose a post worthy of the effort you all put in.

Everyone gets a bottlecap!

I forgot who wrote it, either T or P, one of you said that you found PbP offers a depth of character development that just doesn't exist in tabletop - so very true. My first PbP, no surprise, was (14 years ago?) when Rah pulled me in to try PbP on dndonlinegames.com which later became mythweavers.com. (Remember Sturgeon Abe?) Immediately, I found 'Wow, I could never expressed that character aspect in live games.'

Despite that, there are games with non-writers or just poor gamers, that it's hard to develop. With four super vets on here, it's fantastic.

Occasionally, I walk around feeling a little Mariner-ish.

I too am interested in this Top 50 list. I know I read about 1/2 of your posts on Giant Slayer. I may just look for your Kingmaker campaign and take a cruise reading that.

Go to the Play-by-Posts forum.
Show all, no focus, no hides.
Sort by #posts. There are 50 on the front page.
11 of them are ones that I played.

And still this one has the most memories.

And still this one has the most memories.

And also the least memories!

The backstory for each of these characters was mostly lived through in those early days of Briarstone. The official adventure path begins after the asylum gets wrecked, and in that version the characters have no reference for just how terrible and twisted the people and place has become. I’m very glad I ran the pre-game.

That pregame was superb. When we get escorted into the room and York(?) closed and barred the door behind us?

Hey all! I I’m running a live-play DnD game tonight from 8pm-10pm Pacific Time on Twitch.

It’s a DnD 5E game (I still prefer PF, but I’m a sellout) and I’m running the new adventure “The Wild Beyond the Witchlight”

You can stream it here: Misfit Table Presents the Wild Beyond the Witchlight

There are two background zero sessions already on YouTube here: Youtube Sessions 1 and 2

Went back and read the first page of our game - wow, gold.

+1 - I agree. Wow Gold.

Last Lvl: 9/10/2021

hp's: 1d8 ⇒ 7 I totally forgot how we do HP's.

How much gold do we have to spend?

I checked with my character sheet and I'm at about 30K. Which is still higher than where Cats is at. I don't THINK I need anything, but I find it odd that all my basics are at +1 (armor, shield, war razor). No rings, or cloaks.
Note: I have a wand of Restoration, Herolab says it's worth 20K, but that's impossible. I think it only has a few charges.

I Cleaned up the whole mess. PC's look at your player summary to update your Herolab sheets as I cut and pasted stuff with your name to your section.

I moved all sold items (Except a few I mistakenly deleted worth 1370 (so it was all minor garbage) to the Sold Tab.

Grand total: 36040 GP-- so 9010 each for the 4 main PC's. If we need to outfit Pinkie, I say we break off a grand each and give him 4K and we have 8? But, it appears that Pinkie has some stuff based on what I have read.

Hmm…it looks like it’s that time of the year again, our once a year shopping spree.

I can take the first stab at doing the loots; I think it’s my turn. And looks like the starting point is 9/27/20. I won’t be able to get to it until this weekend, but will be happy to make it happen..

I can probably help some this weekend as well, though I am still working on closing out PbP Gameday X first.

Don't worry about Pinkie for the moment. If he returns I'll work something out then.

Also, just in case I wasn't clear, the Dreamlands loot only exists in the Dreamlands.

Last thing, I missed a small reward that should have been handed out by the Stardust Augers - a wand of break enchantment (34 charges), and a ring of protection +2.

Mariner Level 10 updated

Hey all! Good news! I have successfully tallied ALL the loot from both the Dreamland and not since page 129, our last tabulation.

And GOOD NEWS!! I have put the detail of each page below.

You are all welcome!!!

Well done and your joyous news is well received!

[

But we got our memories back!

Thank you for all that hard work Cats! :)

Yes, Yes! Thank you! Cats did a ton o' work.

Best gift ever! amazing work

It's just like in real life - you are about to kiss that girl, eat that burger, spend that fortune - then poof, you wake up.

I have a feeling that there is another Strange Aeons party, out there, who started after us and is walking through the same adventure, just freely picking up all the magics and loots we have been leaving behind. They are so loaded…and they are just trailing us to pick up free treasure.

Bwahahaha!

I can't see the Google link

Bwahahaha!

Is there stuff that we missed? Should have asked about? How can we fix this going forward, or is this AP design?

Just want to be sure where we are and what we are doing.

Due to the Dreamlands playing such a large roll in Book 3 it delivers very little real world treasure, though you have collected some items, and something is literally right around the corner.

There was a recent reward from the Augurs - a wand of break enchantment (34 charges), and a ring of protection +2. I know, not huge, but also keep in mind that every character got a permanent +2 bonus to an ability score at the Oasis, which is the equivalent of a +2 tome or manual value of 55,000.

BB did like that ability score enhancement. That was some good stuff.

I was thinking about it, and I was struck by how I could easily see Brother Butterfly actually *counting* and keeping score on the number of conversations and discussions he's won vs lost. He has that much of an ego/ need for things that affirm him.

He's got problems.....

He's got problems.....

Sounds about right.

And yet he is still beloved.

*counting* and keeping score

Wow thanks Mariner!

Happy New Year you crazy bastards!

Hey All, just getting an interest check on continuing this game. Seems like we’ve lost…almost everyone and are lucky to get a post a week.

I’m not super interested in trying to drag this out. Are we in or out on this game?

I love this group to death, but we gotta post and play to make it worthwhile.

I am totally in, it just seemed like we were at a point we were awaiting a post from the GM.

I'm thrilled to continue. I'm ready to post everyday. Count me in to continue this amazing storyline of insanity!

Yes, I'm in, definitely still excited on this game. I had a frantic Christmas and work force sickouts but checking the thread every day on RSS notifications. Ready for a good run of steady push. Let use some of these bottlecaps!

The delays are on me. No excuses. I’ll get my ass in gear.

I think the map moved. I thought I was in the doorway.

@GM. Can you check? I'll adjust position as needed.

The map was a bit off. I think I had you and Mariner swapped. Butterfly walked to the northern door to use doorsight. Mariner grabbed brother number 1. I had BB step to the east so as not to be flanked.

Should be fixed now.
