Thalrik :)
Hmmm?
Thalrik, I do not have a problem with you adjusting your stats, as it is still the very beginning. But no more mulligans! :p
So, funny story, I already changed the Charisma to 8 back when I learned we were doing 25 point builds...woops.
Btw, whats a "mulligan"?
lol ;P
A mulligan is a golf term... not sure the technical details but it basically means a redo. For example, you drive the ball very poorly and then you go "oh screw that. mulligan" and then drive again.
lulz
In order to facilitated the tracking of healing can every one post their current / max hp under their character name so that it easily seen by the divine casters.
tks :)
I'll modify that. Also, I have to say I really like the chipper RP that everybody's got going so far.
The roleplaying is great :)
oh by the way since you have our character sheets, feel free to Bot our Saves / skills rolls / initiative (in order to make things post faster and smother)
Thanks Arthur :p
I was sorta planning on doing it as the need arises.
However, the current problem is myself (wamp wamp). I apologize guys, I was kinda busy yesterday. You should expect the gameplay thread to get a big update her in a couple hours!
no worries Jello-Man :)
Hey all!
As we rapidly barrel towards our first encounter, I have been doing a bit of digging into how exactly I am going to be doing this.
I found a couple programs that ended up being more trouble than they are worth, so I have settled on the good ol' storytelling to do the most part of our encounters. I have drawn up some rough maps in microsoft excel, just so we have a grid to look at and to know placement, but I do not think we will need anything more elaborate than that.
So, this brings me to my problem... I am not the most computer-literate person in the world, and I am struggling to get my excel document loaded somewhere where I can link it directly to our threads so... help? :p
Google docs:
you can upload your excel file. it then creates a link you can distribute and we can even make changes to the excel file.
you can even up load a jpeg image:
actual Pbp combat mat i am involved here
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bym9WTmpysd6VXA3MGdaazE1aHM/edit?pli=1
See, I tried to do that, but when I upload to Google docs, it takes away the grid lines from excel... thus making the image useless.
or just do a staight easy Front line text battle like:
Status
20' Goblin chief (Perfect, ), Goblin Annimal Comp (Perfect, Blind 2),
15'EFL Goblin x2 (2 Blind)
PFL Hardegon (25/27 ), Brenton (12/20 Shield),
5'Back Zeriax (21/21 ), Emrys (19/19 ),
EFL: Ennemy Front line
PFL: Party front line
in this example between the two front line there is 15ft distance to be covered...
it make it very easy tooo (and i kind of like it also as DM can see spell active / status)
I like that a lot actually. ^^
Glad to be of service.... :)
there is also http://roll20.net/
virtual table gaming etc...
can't tell you much about it as i just register on (for an other online pbp)

I run my maps and out of game stuff on a secret Facebook group that only the game members can access. I do the grid maps in Excel, then make a PDF of the map and do an update upload as the positions change on the map. If we are all on Facebook, that would be easy to do. And, I also developed some PbP documents for my players to help them negotiate this Paizo system, which I would be glad to share.
I would be very interested to see those documents. I do not / will not have a facebook so... no to that one lol sorry, although it is a good idea!
Ferdin, I ended up doing pretty much just what you described. I made a basic little sketch of a map in excel, tried to upload that to google docs but good docs kept changing my formatting... so I took a screen shot of it and then uploaded that image to google docs and it seems to be working fine :p (Arthur helped too ^^)
Great to hear that it worked!
Huzzah getting the kinks worked out for the first upcoming encounter!
shessh, encounter....
:)
Thalrik eyes the surrounding suspiciously, watching for Gazebos and Darkness alike, ready to Magic Missile either of those most dangerous of enemies.
i'd rather you feather fall us into a nice warm fluffy bed Thalrik :)

Dropbox could work also. There are several free applications available for making pdfs, if you are interested. At least a pdf doesn't have your work messed up by some other program.
In any event, if you use a site where we can share multiple files, I will put some of the stuff I created there so this group can use them if desired.

At the mention of the Dreaded Gazebo Ferdin wildly unsheathes his sword, and crouches in a fighting stance, eyes darting to and fro in search of the monstrous horror!
What's the Gazebo doing????
Ferdin, you initiative roll :)
well apparently Jello-Man its has sucked in the attention of the fighter and the bard with its fascinate special ability
Hey guys,
Just wanted to check in with everyone see how it is going.
I realize the battle maps etc are... simple at best :p but I think it is working good on my end, and want to make sure everything is going well for everybody!
The battle map is looking good. I'm so glad you were able to use images to mark our positions instead of lettering squares. It looks a lot nicer. A nice thing to do, if you have the time, would be to find images for the different types of terrain as opposed to drawing colored boxes and writing in the type of terrain. Other than that it looks great!
yup works for me.
i just had to squint my eyes a bit to see the row/numbers for the location as was aiming at.
But all in all it works great.
Yeah, I really like the battle map. Using the Avatar pictures really makes it simple to figure out where people are, and then you just glance at it and write in your description of your actions. I also like the end of round summaries.
And yeah, good catch on drawing the scimitar. Still getting used to Darlin, so minor kink there to get straightened out in my head.
The map may LOOK low tech, but its use for gaming is more effective than most ive seen.
Also a big fan of the round summary. Keep it up.
Also, wtf people, 19 new gameplay posts, I cant leave you guys alone for two seconds can I?
yup its Hammer time !
More like a gobbo roast in here!
I went full Rainbow Dash up in dis mudda!
indeed..
Btw have the goblins been charging, or just moving up to attack?
They have been just moving, assuming they are distracted by whatever it is that distracts goblins
Current grid position looks good to me oh DM Jello...
oh good! That makes things easier :p
indeed the Grid does so. But becareful on the "Grid" "User" for "programe" Revolution us upon you. CLU is watching....
:)
I nerdgasmed just a little.
sorry to intrude but:
is anyone interested to join darlin (playing a barb this time) and i (cleric this time) for a 4 man team into Shattered star ap?
