@HidingDM: It is too bad that your group won't preform the play. I didn't know how it was going to work as a pbp, but as you have probably have read, it was a lot of fun!
As for your question on how they might get hired on by Robahl and in return get an invite to the Lord-Mayor. Hmmm...Would Robahl hire them as security? Putting on a murder play is not the safest option. That way you can have no-name GM PC's as the actors and someone tries to sabotage the play in the most deadly manner and your PCs intervene and defeat the saboteur's plans. This way they save the day, hence the mayor's invite.
Plus it still gives you a chance to RP some of the play acting.
Just my suggestion.
Apologies, still working out the details. I need to switch back to 1e mode...
@Richard: I have not done anything in 2E yet. I barely master 1E! LOL!

In general, 2e has much less bookkeeping than 1e. Skill ranks, for example are just replaced with proficiency levels. So Richard would start of Trained in Performance, and I'd probably upgrade him to Expert or Master level by now. Instead I have to dole out skill points and make sure I max it out.
There's also less cheese. Spellcasting is reigned in big time. Much fewer save or sucks and blaster casters do less damage to single targets compared to martial fighters. The math is very tight so encounter design actually works. In 1e by the time I reach level 10 or 11 enemies are dead in the first round or it's a party wipe.
I'm spoiled by the Pathbuilder app that works on Android and the web. Lets you quickly build 2e characters. It has a 1e builder but it's Android only.
Some people want to play superheroes and have loads of 1e content they want to play through. Some others want to be more tactical and want a fresh start on content. YMMV.
Tal, I'll check inventory later today. Sherix and Richard need some defensive upgrades.
I don't need any of the loot, Tal. Feel free to liquidate.
done...do we want to keep the lyre of building as a party item since you can use it or sell that as well?
Keep the lyre of building around. That's one of those "just in case" items we'll regret selling later on.
Howdy folks. I'll be in New York City for a week, returning home on Sunday. I should have internet access throughout the week.
I can roll with 3 if we want to keep going.
I'm good to give it a go with three.
Sounds like we'll roll with a trio.
The trio of six.
@Acheh: Can you but some stats in your profile tag? You can use Tal and Richard as an example, and if you can make your character sheet sharable.
Will do. I'm away from my computer this weekend so it maybe Sunday before I get to it.
So really confused. I thought Acheh was a cleric but is providing bardic performance and gets full round attacks?
Yep. Evangelist cleric get a bardic performance in place of a domain and some channel dice. At this level it would normally be a move action to use but with the extra levels from the dervish shikke it is a swift to activate and has boosted values. There some other weird stuff that can happen later on involving soulswitch that make things even stranger but we will see if that is worth it on this build.
This Saturday I will be visiting my family for two weeks. I will try to keep up to date with the boards, but you know how that goes! LOL!
Have fun with the fam!
Indeed! Have fun.
*Sneaks in and steals the pesh*
If you are good I will make sure that the yetis have some pesh!
An adventurer's life is too short to go through it unstoned.
This Saturday I will be visiting family for two weeks. I hope to keep up with posting, but it will probably be sporadic.
Hopefully it is a good time and doesn’t get too long with the family. Enjoy the downtime and will see you when you post again.
I'm going to be busy for the next 2 days, so please bot me if necessary.

Hey all,
I will be away for a week and a half for vacation. I will see you all when I get back. Bot me if need be.
Acheh, did you initiate a bardic performance and that is how Cheken is getting a +5 to attack and damage? Nothing is mentioned in gameplay thread is why I ask. Does that apply to everyone?
Can you copy and paste your character sheet to the profile so we can see it so we know for future what is going on?
It was a copy-paste error but let's say I did so the GM has less recalculating to do. It does not affect the action economy on my end.
There are links to all my stat sheets in my line as google docs.
Sorry I thought i posted a reply a few days ago. I guess I never hit submit. Will get it tomorrow. Sorry again for delay.
Gnomebane? Good thing he never saw my front yard.

I love checking in from time to time and seeing that this game is still going. You guys are machines! Hope all is well, XOXO
@Mera: You are always welcome to drop in again!
Still going but I think we are waiting to see if Richard dies after following his illusion into the cave.
Whenever you want to come back Mera we will take you but Tal is still a one woman man.
No comment Jetro...
Poor Richard. Mera always thought he was a good sidekick, I hope it makes it. (Sherix can choke and die though, good riddance!)
I do have some availability to play again if you'll have her back. I'm a bit lost on the story I'm afraid.
With Richard still here, I assume he's still tackling bard and I'll keep her as rogue?
What shall I do with Anvengen's Edge? I'm not sure anyone is eager to have that back in play again? :)
Sounds like a great idea as long as no Anvengen’s Edge lol. That is a drama we don’t need back. But then again Mera has all the drama and flair already.
Having a 4th would be great and a rogue gives some offensive ability with some skills that Richard may not have. Acheh still has divine covered and Richard has arcane so all good there.
Ah, hello Mera! Ready to watch Richard walk into his untimely demise?
Sherix says hello and is thankful you got rid of Avenger's Edge, as it was forcing you to say nasty things about her. All is forgiven.
Very good. I’ll work on getting her updated then. Prepare yourselves for incoming drama!
Yes! Mera is always welcome!
DM - Can you mark me as active so I can get this back on my campaign list?
@Mera: You should be active. Did you want to find a creative way to reintroduce Mera or did you want me to do it?
Mera: Queen of the Jinkins instead of Snow White and the 7 dwarfs
The game still won't show up in my campaign list. Also, when I make a post it doesn't show up in the list of campaigns with a recent post. I think it's still stuck as hidden.
I'm investigating...
@Mera:
Oh, I believe you, it's not just working. :(
I thought if I posted in Gameplay and went to the master Gameplay thread, I could see it was hidden and tried to unhide it there, but no dice - it's still not showing up.
