Eberron: Shadows of Breland (Fantasy Noir)

Game Master Elton

This campaign mixes pulp noir, steam, and adventure. The campaign presents a dystopian view of Breland and delves into the question of Sovereignty - both personal and national. The campaign is a dystopian fantasy espionage campaign.

Gotham is an awesome show.

What Xov thinks of the other PCs VI: new arrivals

Absylon:
This one remains a conundrum. He is obviously poor at following orders. He failed to recognize a dreadfully obvious code, and due to interpreting the code literally he was prepared to torture someone more important than himself for trivial information. Now he has separated himself from the group. Perhaps his actions would make since if I knew where his true loyalties lay, or perhaps he is merely delusional.

Ebran:
On the one hand, having another of his house with us seems unlikely to be a good influence on Ebran. On the other hand, Ebran does not seem to have gotten any worse, so perhaps it will go the other way. His skills do not seem to be improving as quickly as my other companions, though.

Falko:
Another mercenary? I thought the Citadel had greater personnel resources than we did? And this mercenary is overly inquisitive. The entire purpose of mercenaries is that they can carry out actions they do not understand! The fact that he already seems to have gained the trust of Othan is no more comforting, since it means Othan cannot be trusted any more than Falko.
Nevertheless Falko appears highly skilled, and is undoubtedly more committed to our cause than Absylon. Maybe he will reveal himself to be principled after all.

Kirin:
Yet another mercenary? At least he is not entirely without allegiances. He does seem to be adapting considerably faster than his cousin, so perhaps in the long run he will prove to be a valuable ally. Maybe he will even help his cousin improve. It is too early to tell. Yet he increases the risk that the interests of House Lyrander will have an undue influence on our group's direction.

Othan:
Othan is finally coming to recognize his own weaknesses. Nevertheless he remains loose-tongued with the newly recruited mercenaries, perhaps because he still views himself as one.

Overall:
So, not much change in the two who were in the group since the beginning. The newcomers are still pretty new, so in Xov's mind they haven't done much to show they are better than the typical mercenary. But that will probably change...

Did Xov not realize that Othan and Falko have worked together in the past?


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

No, I guess not.


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

Yea, he did realize that. But he assumes it wasn't intrigue work (since Othan purported to be new to intrigue at the beginning of the campaign), so Othan's openness with Falko looks to Xov like Othan is a putting personal connection ahead of the mission.
That will probably change as he starts to see Falko in a more positive light, possibly in the next update.

I'll admit I'm not spending as much time thinking about this game as I used to. Probably because whenever I decide "I'll devote some extra time to pbp games", I then have to decide which one, and usually end up picking either of the games I'm running.

finally got ebran leveled up.

not many changes.

hp: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

took Returning Throw as a bonus 5th level feat from my class, and took the feat to increase the size of my dragonmark with my regular 5th level feat

Intelligence Files: Code Crystal I

Xov:

Interesting, files taken from Brelish intelligence indicate that he is a member of the Royal Eyes of Aundair... A new and so far seemingly competent player in the "great game", Xov is good and is a possible candidate for "uplifting". Must determine true loyalties and willingness to fight the "enemy" before attempted uplift can even commence... The Conservatives will not be happy about this...

Othan:

Unsubtle, brutal and mercenary... There is a time and place for his methods and that time is fast approaching. Psionic ability is impressive, possible candidate for "uplifting". Politically the war hawks will naturally take him in, the conservatives will hate him... He should be easily motivated, once the "enemy" is defeated there will be much land and wealth to go around...

Ebran:

Potentially a good asset, uplifting is unlikely but he should be easily swayed if offered "assistance" to ensure his survival within his House. Like Othan fortune will be this man's god and "we" can provide plenty of of it...

Falko, Kirin:

Unknown, further research into their pasts and observation of them is required. Both have dragonmarks however and this means that they could be vital assets, although Falko's mark may be more of a hindrance then it is helpful... My work within the house of Finding is too important to jeopardize by invoking the rivalry between the houses...

In case of any you think this is a good idea

Checking for interest in a campaign idea


Human Marksman (Shroud/Sniper) 5

Dunno what that means, but it at least sounds cool in my mind.

Although i would be interested, i haven't the time to apply to any further games.


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

It looks like Elton is focusing on the Occult Adventures playtest.


Human Marksman (Shroud/Sniper) 5

yeah the brief blurb for the classes didn't excite me


ac 14/12/12, hp 33/33, F 2+, R 6+, W 4+, Per 9+, Init 2+

Occultist actually looks interesting and the Medium is pathfinder's take on the 3.5 binder clearly where flavor is concerned... Oh do I miss thee oh noble binder...


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

There is an actual Binder conversion to pathfinder, and he is updating and expanding it via kickstarter. The OA Medium doesn't seem to be anything like the binder, it's just another Vancian caster copy/paste.
Then they have an infinite blaster class...with nothing to make it stand out from all the other infinite blasting classes. And more wizard/sorcerer clones.


ac 14/12/12, hp 33/33, F 2+, R 6+, W 4+, Per 9+, Init 2+

Eh I know of the Occultist but an additional conversion that most GMs will accept out of hand is kind of nice... I do hope that they will "unclone" these classes as they go through.

With the Kineticist for example I am hoping that they will ramp up the "high risk, high reward" play style... Burning HP to aggressively fuel your abilities is fairly novel (by Pathfinder standards).


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

It isn't much of a 'conversion' if it doesn't have anything in common with the 'original';)
Maybe I should write something else related to this group/character/game while we're waiting for Elton...
...or maybe I'll just focus more on my other games and keep putting off stuff related to this one.


Human Marksman (Shroud/Sniper) 5

still here.

I've been sinking a lot of time into ArcheAge so no problem with the slow pace.

Although, this has been one of my more interesting games so i am interested in seeing things continue.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Still ready to go.

I'll be playtesting the Occult Adventures book tonight, however. Since I can't get anyone else to join, and I've been hard at work.

I've only had to do 3 jobs. :)


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Alright, an overview of what happened.

The sealed portion of the B of M has fallen into my hands, and I've been changing ever since. I can't put the book down, it was so engaging that I forgot that I had you to serve. :)

I will renew service when I can, but I'd like to finish the book. :)

I love you all. :)


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

What's the B of M?


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Code word for Book of Mormon. :) My family has been turned against me for reading it's sealed portion and I've been trying to lay low.


I hope things work out!


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Only way they will work out is if I live it. :)


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

Anyone know what's going on here?


Aren't we heading to a dungeon?


Human Marksman (Shroud/Sniper) 5

i think we had just been given vast sums of money and magical items.


Merry Christmas Everyone!


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

Indeed:)


For those interested I am looking for people to playtest a new RPG being developed by a former pathfinder designer.

The link can be foundHere.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Guys, I'm sorry. :(

But you are headed for a dungeon.

I'm not sure I have time for another game, although it looks interesting.


Human Marksman (Shroud/Sniper) 5

same boat, i'm not joining any new games, just letting games that are on their last leg fall until i have more free time.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Sorry everyone, I'll try and wrap this up in the next few weeks, I have been very busy, and getting one book done was all I could think about. Then Christmas happened.


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

My computer is infected by malware. Until I fix it, I can only make long posts from others' computers (I use the same computer for work and personal use). I can make short posts from my phone.


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

Update:
The malware was a browser hijacker. Malware Bytes, Adwcleaner, and Microsoft Scanner all failed to remove it. Adwcleaner could detect it, but not remove it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. It didn't help, but in the process I noticed that neither IE nor Chrome were affected; the problem was limited to firefox.
Then, I did a search and deleted all files with 'firefox' in their name, along with all files contained in folders with 'firefox' in their name. This included a few files designated as critical, which windows stores to remember that firefox was installed at one point. My suspicion was that adwcleaner had identified the malware inside one of the 'critical' files, but did not delete it due to being set not to alter critical files.

Then I reinstalled firefox and the problem was gone!

So, my problem is tentatively fixed. It is entirely possible that the hijacker is still somewhere on my computer, but latent. If it resurfaces, I'll format my hard-drive and do a clean install.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

oh. great. I hope everything works out for you.


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, all!


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Yay!!! :)


Male Drow Sorcerer 5

Just in case anyone hasn't seen this yet,
Elton is discontinuing all his games.
I don't know how to mark the campaign as inactive (I know how to do it from the GM's perspective, but I'm not sure if a player can do so.)


I think it will disappear if no one posts in it for a period of time (3 months?)...


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

I can't close this one because I created it with another account.


1 person marked this as a favorite.
Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Although, I can continue this one. :)


I will not stay though. I guess you can't remove me from the list of active players as well?
