Darwin's World - Tales From the Twisted Earth (Inactive)

Game Master Nethru

Placeholder for new game.

I will do first post of the game this weekend to get the ball rolling! If your char is not done yet it's OK to post with whatever avatar you will be using and get it done along the way.

So can we dot/delete in game, so the game will show up on our queue?

Ok let me create the Gameplay thread.

Screw it jumping right in! No need to rush posting i'll continue during weekend once everyone is ready :)

Everyone will know Unislang except Ferals if you don't have it already plus any other languages your background gives you and how Intelligence bonuses give you.

Awsome saw the opening posts, I'm on my way to work soon, so I will post later this evening...

How many CP's should I charge Navarre for a small slate board and chalk to write?

May I assume basic clothing is free?

basic clothing free. for chalk and board that should be pretty cheap say like 4cp for a box of chalk and board so lasts a while :)

*Makes a pile of basic clothing into a fort.*

Hey all, sorry I'm behind, but Tomas is ready to run face first into the wasteland.

will post updates this weekend allowing some people to finish up chars if they going to join us.

@ TE, cool, thanks for the update

Hey Rose, hey Tomas, welcome aboard! I look forward to speaking gesturing futilely to you in game :-)

Yup looking forward to some good rp my bug friend!

I'm assuming the trademaster is used to 'wheeling and dealing' and some 'hard cases' so just pushing my luck a little asking for more money. It seemed like the right thing to do :-)

Ok a map and a list of locations, time to do some shopping.

Two questions, I see 'stable' but I don't remember prices on horses or camels or giant ants.

On the weapons list, the only weapon I saw with reach was the whip. Are there any longspears or something similar that would be a simple weapon?

I'm thinking the simplest 'melee' fight is stabbing them from the air...

The stable is for visitors to house their steeds. There are none for sale there.

Spears are on the list which is a reach weapon. It's in the survivors handbook. Listed as Archaic weapon.

Cool, when I first looked it didn't have anything on the 'table' but looking under the description, it explained it had 10 ft reach.

Thanks for the explanations

yeah for some reason the equipment section is ALL messed up in the d20 darwins world book. I have to sometime reference the Savage Worlds version ie: for Ammo to find information. He did a great job with classes/information but equipment i think he just went to fast.

Ok I’m a little confused,

Navarre

shop labeled L resembles a pre-war "fruit market"
The witch lady stops you when she see's your sign."I would stay away from that store" pointing to location L "and head to the home of Dust-walker." she points in direct of location M….

here

Bazaar Map
I. Store
L. Merchant Lodge (Where you are)
M. Home and Junkyard

Weren’t we in L for the meeting? Did you mean the fruit market was ‘I’?

Sorry L was meant to be I :) My eyes hurt when i'm at work posting! :)

cool, thanks

I like your character so far Navarre, is a cool concept and the chalkboard short words are perfect flavor. I drew a lot of inspiration from Into the Badlands for my 'clipper'.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it, frankly I'm just winging it, trying to do what makes sense.

I figure if I put his thought process down, then the chalk words may be easier to understand.

At third level, It's going to get really weird, when he picks up 'Mental Communication' :-)

I've seen the first season of 'into the badlands' on Netflix, I will have to go back and watch the next year.

@ TE: Ok, since we are not RPing out the purchase of the items, may I assume anything in the players guide is for sale?

If the ammunition you listed is all that is for sale, Navarre may need to purchase another firearm.

@ Tomas: Also hoping that Tomas responds to Navarre, this early interaction is helping me nail his personality down. He's still very two-dimensional and I need to figure out what makes him tick, helping sort out more behaviors, other than writing on a slate board.

I was originally thinking he would 'beep' or 'chirp' or click, similar to R2D2, but I haven't worked that in yet :-)

Sorry for skipping through potentially RP, just been hankering for a bit of action recently and figured personalities and skills will happen naturally over the adventure.

Not all the gear listed in the book are here. Gunsmith has the below weapons that match up with the ammo available.

Black Powder Pistol - 250cp
Black Powder Rifle - 400cp
Pipe Rifle (5.56mm) - 250cp
Zip Gun (.38 special) - 75cp

@ Rose: no problem, It's all good.

I usually have a better grasp on 'personality traits' with new characters, than I do with Navarre. So I'm just trying to get a feel for him. but your right, it will develop in game. fair warning though, I find if I don't establish specific traits early, the personality shifts more than I mean for it to over the passage of the game. Sinse at third level he will start using his telepathy, it will change any way. So no blood no foul.

@ TE: ok, so no ammo or new gun... how about a crossbow or a slingshot?

He will purchase a leather coat,

As for camping gear he needs a shoulder bag, or backpack of some type for carrying the food he purchases. also, something to carry water in and possibly some form of bed roll, he doesn't mind using the poncho as a blanket, but a bed roll would be a step up.

Navarre did you roll and purchase your starting gear? That could of been anything from the books. I'd say you can find a crossbow/slingshot here at cost in the survivors handbook.

Sorry all, Saturday has been a wipeout for me, I'll post something more substantive once I've had some sleep.

Navarre, Tomas is going to respond to you happily.

Navarre did you roll and purchase your starting gear? That could of been anything from the books. I'd say you can find a crossbow/slingshot here at cost in the survivors handbook.

yes, but it was only 180 cp. That's why he asked about money. This is his beginning gear on his page. I will purchase a few mundane things, including a crossbow and be ready to walk out of town in a few hours.

Beginning Gear
outfit: N/A, N/A
FA Casull (.50AE revolver)1 120 cp. 6 lbs.
Hip Holster 20 cp. 1 lbs.
whip 20 cp. 2 lbs.
cleaver 5 cp. 2 lbs.
Slate board w/chalk 4 cp. 1 lbs.

Consumables
Ammunition: .50AE caliber @ 10: 10 cp. 2 lbs. ?
Total weight of all gear: 14 lbs.
wealth
180 cp. beginning wealth - 179 cp. Beginning expenditure = 1 cp. remaining

will let you all chit chat a bit more and then move you into the wastelands on Monday :)

Navarre gear looks fine.

Tomas's gear in on his sheet, bought when created. He keeps the .357 pistol out of sight, has the knife and baton on his belt with the multitool, and openly carries the crossbow.

Shopping he's looking for a few more rations and he's hoping to find some canteens for water rather than water skins.

OK done.

Caps need a 4th Language (only saw 3 suggested in the Darwin Guide) and not sure what I should take for Phobia.

Will read I/C and post soon.

Just as an FYI Treat Injury can be done 1x per day for 1d4hps if a character is injured, no mutant issues if done with juju kit and have the juju medicine feat (which our giant has). The long term care does 3x/level for FULL day rest. natural healing 8hrs rest heals 1x/level and full day is 2x/level.

Juju Potions can be used any # of times day as you have available.

I can see you guys having Xoknus making 10000000 survival rolls when you hit level 5 to stock up on juju potions LOL

I dunno how broken juju is but sounds broken.

Well if you drink a potion in combat it's an Attack of Opportunity against you and it's ONLY heals 1d4 so i wouldn't say it's broken. Mainly for downtown after combat healing. Also takes time to make 1 potion so he can't mass manufacture them in a single day.

Didn't say potion...said juju.

I got your JUJU! :)

I got your JUJU! :)

Oh good, so I don't have to craft more! What a thoughtful Twisted DM... :-)

I got us in the door, don't make me do all the talking :'D

Don't look at me, I'm not the charming one.

Lol I have a +0 charisma mod.

-1 Charisma mod here. :)

-2 here, my name is ironic... ;-)

F#@# maybe I am the most charismatic in the party...

Your all such a charming group of people :)

I'm going to a family reunion for the next three days, my posting will be spotty and I will be posting at irregular times. Please 'bot' me as necessary.

In game...

Your group moves out from the tent without another word from the elders.

Sudden an average-sized man in hides standing on the edge of the crowds starts yelling in your direction.

"You – yes you! The tiny one hiding among his friends! Yes you! What’s the matter – don’t like being called tiny? Why, I overheard that from one of the furniture who lay with you last night! Said you were the smallest one she’d ever had to work with! And speaking of working – she said yours didn’t!!!"

Though his voice is at first lost in all the cheering coming from the gladiatorial pits, his continued slurs against one of your number draws attention. In moments the crowd is snickering and laughing at the butt of his jibes.

I work on third, and I haven't been to bed yet getting ready for the trip tomorrow. So, I've been up thirty hour. I've learned that when I'm like this, I don't normally make good decisions. But I wanted to share my initial thought to the above post.

When I read the in game post, I thought that the appropriate responce would be for Navarre to fly above the guys head, whipping it out, and proceeding to urinate on him...

Like I said, no sleep normally means poor decision making... but I did think it was funny enough to share...

Xok and Tomas still here?
