Eberron - Echoes of the Past (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Harry

Need to be at work at 6 am tomorrow. As a result I don't have the time needed to move us forward. Will do so on Saturday.

Just wanted to let everyone know.

Table top tomorrow night prevents me from updating sooner. My sincerest apologies folks.

Moving in to new house tomorrow, and no internet until Tuesday...bot as needed.

The boards have been a mess since last Wednesday night. As a result I have fallen behind in all games. I'll get to this one within the next few nights if not tonight.

Table I by tomorrow night I'll have the combat scene updated. Had plans tonight that ran longer than expected and it's time for me to hit the sheets and pillows ;-(

Table II keep up the great RP. By Saturday I'll have the new PCs integrated. :-)

Table II. There are currently 4 active PCs on the roster. My original intention was to bring in 2 PCs to get us to 6. However, I have had 4 submissions. Any interest in bringing in 3 and returning us to the original Recruitment number of PCs which was 7?

Please let me know over the weekend as I would like to integrate the new PCs this weekend.

Thank you all!

I am happy to report that I will no longer be working extended hours at work for the forseeable future so my posting rate should get back to my normal every 2nd or 3rd day routine.

Hopefully, the group will stay static and the boards cooperative as we move into these new adventures for both Tables.

I'm cool either way.

Sounds good to me.

Having 7 players for both tables sounds fine by me. :)

Sounds good.

I have no real problem with 7 vs 6, but we seem to be doing just fine for now.

The 7th PC will enter Table I post battle.

The other 3, will enter Table II upon my next update later tonight or tomorrow if it gets to be 2 am as even I need to sleep sometimes...

As a public service message, I shall leave teh thread with this. ;)

Big thumbs up from me on all counts :D

Hopefully the boards are stable again (they have been this morning) and I can get out updates over the next two days.

That includes integrating the new PCs.

Welcome all to the Cogs! Don't mind Carduus, he's a prickly sort - I'm more than happy to have additions to our team. Let's show the pallid underbelly of Sharn what real adventurers can do (while some of us grumble about it).

Thanks for the welcome! I'm definitely excited about this game!

Also, even though I am in Table 2, would it be unseemly to do a quick dot in the Gameplay thread to get it to show up in my list of campaigns? Or is there another way to add it? (I'm still learning the nuances of how the boards handle PbP.) I'd prefer to not spam that table's gameplay. Thanks!

Yes.

You post and then delete that post, it gets you into GamePlay but does not leave a random in post that Thread.

In fact everyone on Table II should do that if they have not, forgot to mention it.

Updates either tonight or tomorrow as I am working late and not sure how much time I'll have for DM updates tonight.

Awesome! Thanks! Hadn't thought of that.

...I get 10% of any rewards for rescuing any folk we find down here and 10% of any valuables you claim that are unclaimed by the victims or their next o' kin if we're too late to save these poor souls.

"Ten percent? Sounds like fairly small beer. I'm thinking 50-50."

Apologies if I've misunderstood, but it sounds like you're offering Dolom 50% of the take instead of 10%...? Just want to clarify before I post Carduus's reaction.

Just an FYI I will be taking 2 DM board breaks in the month of July:

1. July 2 through July 4 and
2. July 8 through July 11.

During this time I will be working on plot for some of the Campaigns as well as updating Campaign Information tabs for all Campaigns.

I still have an opening as noted below, anyone interested?

Recruitment is OPEN once again for Bloodlines - A V20 Vampire the Dark Ages Campaign - Clan Ventrue

For some reason no one seems to want to play Ventrue. Oi...

You will start as Mortal.

All I need is a concept to start with.

This is a LONG running game, 10,000 posts. However, prior knowledge of the Chronicle is not necessary or quite frankly even desirable as you should not know anything of what has already taken place anyway.

For some reason no one seems to want to play Ventrue. Oi...

If it's any consolation to you, Storyteller Shadow, I'm not all that familiar with the V20 system (or any version of Vampire, for that matter- apart from a brief listen to the Strand Gamer's For House and Clan/M. Andretti and the Tremeres' antics podcast) apart from dots existing and D10's; if you were to do a V20 Vampire version of the PF Beginner Box/Strategy Guide "walk-thru", how would you describe it as (obviously with just the Ventrue's options)? :)

On the other hand, I haz this really sick idea of how about the entire collective Eberron table (1 & 2) could create a singular collective V20 character that anyone on either of the Eberron tables can drop in to play if they feel like? Maybe this poor unfortunate V20 character has some sort of multiple personality disorder that happens due to our various postings (planned and unplanned)? Goes without saying that there'd hafta be a 100% buy-in from everybody here.

Naturally... to incentivize such a creation and subsequent postings, maybe let everyone haz another... free feat/????? gp to their characters? Might even work with any of the other tables too, like the upcoming FR, Star Wars, DL, IG, SD, other Vampire, or even the Greyhawk ones- as any given example. Of course, such a potentially horrid idea could very well lead to space rocks falling on Eberron (or maybe just Sharn itself) en masse to be suggesting such blasphemy. ;p

** spoiler omitted **...

Hah, maybe if I have a Malkavian opening I'd entertain that! But not for Ventrue.

It goes without saying this crazy fellow would be best friends with Onfroi once and a while

Hi everyone, just to let you know I will be on holiday for two weeks (and a bit) from Friday 30th June until the 16th July. During that time I will have no access to the internet (to speak of).

No worries.

Tried to update Table I last night but the site crapped out, luckily I saved my post. Updates now.

With her useful spells exhausted, Ama looked around the immediate area for something that could be used to contribute to the fight.

Ama? Have you leveled your character yet? Also can't you use your "Cold Blasts" from your Water School ability? WATER SCHOOL

I'd have to be in the fray to utilize it, and its indiscriminate.

@Ama: One possibility that might be feasible for Ama is to either help with the heal skill on Lady d'Vown or to see if Lady d'Vown has anything in the way of ranged wands or weapons. ;)

@Gauntlet: The main body of Ama's character info is definitely leveled up; it's just the header combat info that still seems to be on level one. (she's even got invisible teeth and a see-thru tongue too!) :o

Ah, thank you for the reminder about the header, and her teeth just seem like "chips of ice" and her tongue seems like water. :p

The Lady had not taken an action, and I was uncertain about her status, but Ama could definitely attempt to assist, though. I'm just trying to keep it as close to the character as I can. She is not presently used to being ambushed at a summons. That will change, and she will be adding a damage cantrip to her repertoire in the future. :)

Apologies to my fellow table about the extended non-activity; the recent 4th of July holiday had kept me from posting any sooner.

No worries- that sounds about right, considering that Ama didn't seem all that accustomed to the rigors of the eventful adventurous life from being a former librarian. I'm sure she'll pick up on the nuances of the adventuring lifestyle in short order, now that angry Warforged fanatics are after all of us. ;)

Angry warforged fanatics, oh my. I so enjoy the ring that has to it

You might say that they're wound up a bit and driven by their beliefs.

I am slowly working my way out of my DM board break, within the next few days I'll get us up and running again. I want to add information to the Campaign Info Tab as well as adjust the Initiative and Perception scores for each group.

Sorry for the delay guys but not to worry, we'll be up and running again soon enough!

Cool!
=)

No worries!

Alright, both tables up and running once more!

On the Table II Excavation Site map, which way is north?

Nice touch on the spiffy new changes to the Initiative/Perception List. :)

I was trying to get to both tables tonight but I don;t think I will make it (I updated about 11 today so I've clocked in a LOT of time on the boards as it is). I will ABSOLUTELY update both tables tomorrow.

Le sigh, we seem to have lost Dalaan's player from the boards completely. At this time do the players of Table I want a Recruitment for a 7th?

Table I the contents of the Handy Haversack are in this Profile.

---

Yay, both tables updated!

I'm fine with what we have on Table I.

A pity about Dalaan's player leaving; I'm fine with either way of recruiting (which does put a bit of a burden on your part in finding a new player, GM the Dragon Above) or just leaving things as is for now. :)

June and July were like Hell Recruitment. I think I had 8 games with openings and started 3 new campaigns.

Now I have none open so would not be a big deal to Recruit.

I'll wait for more feedback on it though before I decide.

---

As far as Land or Water on Table I:

Gauntlet & Caelan - Land
Ama - Water
Xetovia - OK either way.
So I need Red and Erix to chime in on that decision ;-)

Sorry...Please change me to 'Either Way.' He's not really partial. Gauntlet will always consider the group's decision final, whatever that is. NOTE: He's used to following, not leading either. Not that he can't, he's just not really been given the chance before.

=)

Also note: I think we're fine with the group we have for now. No 7th needed.

Hey all, sorry I haven't posted much the last little while. The comic con I worked this past weekend ended up kicking my butt more than I expected.

Erix would prefer land, and if possible, I would like to maybe call in a House favor via my feat to obtain us a guard.

Also, I don't mind staying at 6 for right now. We can always grab a 7th later on if we decide we need/want another.

Pink eye likes caves and air so land it is

Playing in 20+ games and running 26 (soon to be 27) is time consuming. Outside of the boards I have a fairly busy work schedule and of course a life!

Often I find that if I fall behind in updates, I need to make time to simply update a Discussion Thread to inform the PCs of a particular game that I am either going to be posting later in the day or week or will be on a break form the boards for one reason or another.

To save time updating so many damn threads I am going to open this thread and link all of my DM aliases (and PC aliases) to this thread to inform people as to status.

Of course if people feel the need to ask other questions outside of PbP feel free to do so but mainly this will be a thread dedicated to ensuring that my PCs know my status and to assure everyone that even though I may have some absences away from the boards (or particular games) that new thread will always be up to date with my status.

I'll have a post up in 12 hours. Good thing Carduus is such a persuasive diplomat...
