Thank you guys for applying. I know the party lacks any divine casters or healers, but I plan on rectifying that soon after the game starts.
As for the equipment situation. I told you guys not to worry about it because you won't have any right at the beginning. Those of you with Spell/formula books can go ahead and pick your spells, but you won't have access to them right away. If you have an animal companion/familiar, you still have them at the start. Bonded objects will be found about the same time as your spell books.
I'll try to have the game thread up in a few hours, but no guarantees there.
That said, I hope I'm as funny as I think I am, otherwise this is going to get real old real quick.
Veegal Slimtail, reporting in!
A disclaimer to other players who may have missed Veegal's Crunch or backstory... or quirks... or character profile in general: Veegal does not speak. Ever. He comes from a village of Vanara based on the old Japanese phrase: "mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru," (見ざる, 聞かざる, 言わざる) "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil," which gave rise to the "Three Wise Monkeys" image that's so famous today, comprised of three different monkeys holding hands over their eyes, ears, or mouth. Each martially inclined Vanara of the village had rendered themselves either blind, deaf, or mute, which eventually contributed to the village's downfall.
Veegal has taken several other monastic vows, which will limit his role in close-combat, but should make for some interesting party situations.
Also, don't let his angry avatar face fool you, Veegal is extremely kind and is Lawful Good to a fault. This is just the only male-looking avatar that I could find for a non-whitecape Vanara.
And it begins. Gameplay thread is up.
Ehhehehe!! Onward! To the tower of science!
Joseph doesnt realize its actually the tower of DOOM...
I have a few quick questions. Is it ok if i take the Breadth of Experience (normally dwarf/elf/gnome/old guy only) and reflavour it as College Experience?
Can i keep my glasses? (normally everyone gets an outfit worth 10gp and the glasses cost 10) last time ill ask :)
I intend to have him close his eyes if/whenever he looses his glasses as a way to represent his near blindedness. Blind and hucking bombs!
Aside from that, i have to selltle on 1 feat, 2 traits and his bonus languages and he is good to go!
Joseph as very poor eyesight and chucks explosives. Sorry if i hit you :(
When Joseph first enters he will be asking different monsters if he can apply for a job there. Should be interesting :)
Joseph talks using big words and, intentionally, might be hard to understand. He will make sure to ask Veegal lots of questions!
He has a neural inhibitor in his brain that is failing fast. He will get A LOT smarter very quickly the next few levels.
He has a big Ego and a supeority complex. He wont be making many friends (but ill keep it light)
Looking forward to this!
Yes.
I'm assuming he's blind otherwise so yes, even though the start of this game is going to be breaking with the free outfit rule until you actually find some clothes.
Also, Joseph is stuck in one of the rooms where it is very, very chilly. The good news is he's already at the top. :D
Sweet
Sweet!
And nice! The top is usually where the executiative offices are, so he can make his complaint easilly :)
Thunk reporting in! Will post in the gameplay thread in a moment.
DM Salsa, your spoiler for me actually made me laugh so loud that my roommates are now questioning my sanity.

You're probably going to be questioning mine before too long. :D
I'm a little scared about Manet now.
I'm a little scared about Manet now.
I think we all will be if he doesn't find some clothes soon.
I did say he was... Crotchety. :P
Hey, so I'm here, but I'm about to head to an appointment, and then I have my home game tonight, so an alias for Vivian Vitimus might be a while. Just checking in though, to say thanks for picking me, I'm looking forward to playing, and we have some fantastic characters here. (Joseph Bonkers warms the cockles of my heart, he does!)
Ok, so I work 3rds (EST) but I can post between 2:30pm-8:15pm, then 2:50-3:30am, and 6:45-8am. Hopefully that's enough windows to work with the campaign.
I have my alias, but as it turns out, there's exactly one avatar image of a kitsune. So to hell with it, this is Viv's human form. >.>
alias updated

There are a few fox-like outsiders and monstrous humanoids as well. Be sure to check those out before you reach 10 posts!
Found one! Pretty sure this is a gnoll, but it's foxlike enough. =)
Also, I explained my character to a mate, and the conversation went a little like this.
"So I made a kistune skald."
"You... you what? That's two COMPLETELY different cultures."
"Yeah, I know. And his name's Vivian Vitimus."
"So you have two cultures AND YOUR NAME REJECTS THEM BOTH?!"
"I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A SILLY GAME."
Yes, there was that much yelling.
Have him read what's gone on so far. That should clear things up. :D
By the way, any ideas that you have or come across that you'd like to see, send them my way. They'll wind up in the game at some point in some fashion. ^_^

Okay, just to sum things up. Manet is still in the hallway leading to his cell. Everyone else is in the large room. One of the double doors is open revealing another room with more doors leading off of it and a sleeping guard (Whom could sleep through a thunderstorm, an earthquake, and a tarresque attack all happening simultaneously.)
Whacha guys doin'?
much sleepy, will post tomorrow...
Thunk's going into the next room to try and figure out where they are, since V asked, but apparently nobody really has an idea, except that we're all naked. Unfortunately, Thunk is going to try and wake up the guard to ask where they're at, since he looks like an Orc who might know.
:)
By the way, can everyone put their HP, AC, Saves, Perception, and Init with their Gender, race and class? I'd like something like what's on this character.
You've seen the way I do mine. I'll do it when I'm on my computer tomorrow. It's currently 1:15 am, and I'm on a tablet. XD
Crap, just saw this, I'll update thunk real quick, going to work early (12's suck)
Lemme know if I need me to tone down the imbecility on Thunk. Just doing what I can to be immersive.
If it gets to be too much, I'll let you know.
Hello. Bank decided to hold my check for 5 busness days (1week real time) without telling me and rent is due. Much stress and anxiety followed so I took a personal day. Will post soon :(
Yikes. I hope the landlord or landlady is the forgiving type.
Just post when you can.
hello, Lulu still here, i am not super active on weekends. sorry.
Okay, just updated the Campaign Tab. It is currently showing the Loot, resources, and XP gained, we're using the fast track.
Just a note. Most of the time I don't give out XP, and tell people when to level based on either the Advancement track of the module/AP I'm running or on a rough guess. I am probably going to get something wrong in balancing it, but I think this'll still be fun.
Also, a note on loot: Please post here if you are claiming something. Say exactly what it is you're claiming so I can remove it from the list.
Rule of funny makes me want the axe for Vivian, but I'll probably take the rapier. Actually, that could be even funnier, especially if he rages...
Reminds me of this:
307. Even if he can use them from the start, my barbarian can't specialize in fencing weapons.
Hmm. A Dex based Barbarian.... That has potential >:D
Well, that's just not fair. Poor Mr. Welch. (I love that list so much.)
I'll take whatever weapon I'm given, then, as long as its one of those two. :p
I get the feeling that with my scrawny 8 str arms, no bab and probable lack of proficency i would be just as useless with a weapon as without :p
sorry guys, no potential combat monster for the forseeable future!
I also get the feeling that for the immediate future i may have to get very creative with my meagre resourses till i am able to put that inteligence to more direct means :)
As such. Be prepared to be surprised >:D
Joseph will take the following:
Explorers outfit, cold weather outfit (or at least pieces of each), the cooking kit and flint and steel, then head to the "library" and, if he can, take every scrap of paper. About how much paper is that? Could thrunk possibly carry it all?
Next up, whats on the guard? I imagine i would have to search him to find out :)
ill get more written up in the gameplay thread in a bit, ill be busy :)
Yay free exp for talking to a dead guard and doing nothingat all!!
There are a few hundred thousand sheets in the records room, so Thunk might be able to drag it.
The guard had a mace, studded leather armor, and ragged clothing.
Veegal will take an explorer's outfit, a cold outfit, a shortsword, and two daggers.
Lists updated. Remember, if you claim something, it becomes your responsibility to keep track of it.
Ya, I'll only grab a few hundred sheets then, a stack about 2-3 inches high, and preferably of the more recent records if he can. As time goes on and he walks around he will flip through each one, memorizing the names, dates and transgressions of each.
Alrighty.
I think we're still waiting on Lulu and Manet. I'll ping them if they haven't posted before this evening.
What? no hat? Lulu must have her hat!!!!
If she does not get her hat soon, there will lots of unhappy colors being used.
Lulu has no claims on anything except clothing that will fit her.
Also things are getting more and more hectic at home, I will be off visiting the wife in hospital tonight, and with the craziness of the insurance chaging I am dealing with I was handed a possible $15,000 bill.
she was supposed to be discharged today but looks like not until the 17th and still waiting to hear about the cyst the found on her pancreas.
Yikes. I hope everything turns out okay. I'll keep you two in my prayers.
Still here. Just giving peeps a moment to solidify their actions.
Given the lack of response to my last PM, I'm assuming that Manet is not going to continue with us and is dropping out. Now I have to think of a suitably funny demise.
Why are you holding back?
Hey guys,
Unfortunately I've come down with an extremely bad case of the stomach flu, so I'll be all but unconscious for the next few days. Just letting you know that my posting rate will be decreasing due to excess vomiting, not due to lack of interest... or choice in the matter.
