Extreme Dungeon Crawl League (Inactive)

Game Master The Indescribable

Hmm. I don't see mugging in the new edition. Were you looking in the original?

And how is everybody feeling about the media interaction?

The media interaction is awesome! I'm a little unsure how to handle it and Arthur's not all that charismatic but it definitely adds fun flavor. I'm mostly just RPing with the media and not trying to obtain advantages, due to my poor charisma.

I very much was - d'oh. So I guess it would be Grandstanding? In which case +2 on the check.

Did we have Background Skills in this game BTW? I entered Ranveer into herolab and cannot quite get his skill points to add up, entirely possible/likely I just made a mistake while doing things manually and tallied wrong.

No background skills but the races in the Max Xcrawl book have bonus skills

I'm good with the media interaction -- interested in if and when the media goes crazy over Ranveer!

That probably won't happen until your fame score goes up a bit.

I am hoping the Excellent Agent feat helps a bit with that, though I think it really helps the whole party the majority of the time which is even better - assuming I am reading it right in compilation with the fame rules.

Regarding an entrance song, at the risk of being self aggrandising, Eye of the Tiger?

I'm good with that, it's a classic. Happy to hear other suggestions too.

Is anybody else having problems opening Ranveer's altered lyrics.

Is anybody else having problems opening Ranveer's altered lyrics.

Yes.

Hmmm, yes there seems to be a problem with spoilers? They were not particularly clever, just making it about a team rather than an individual, etc.

Hmm, guess I parsed something incorrectly before.

Could you post them here then?

I do not recall them honestly and the one hour edit menu had long past by the time I noticed.

This is why you keep a text file. Sigh.

I usually copy, but that is only a short term solution, I wish Lazarus still worked that was a lifesaver for PBP.

The hell is lazarus?

It is a browser extension that recalls the last few things you typed and allows you to scroll through to select from them. So if you lost a post you could always recover it, great for PBP. A few years ago it was flawless now it seems to not work at all :(

My DM in another game just complained about losing Lazarus on Firefox--think he lost a big post.

Juice will buy 3 Alchemist Charges, 10 torches, and 6 oil, for 150.7 gp. One goes to Ranveer and another to Lora as our group's most dexterous characters. Everyone gets a torch and some oil.

So you're just going to carry torches through the dungeon lit just in case he's there? Might I suggest a lighter?

May I suggest...

Kit, Troll Slayer’s

Price 30 gp; Weight 17 lbs.

This kit includes 1 vial of alchemist’s fire, 1 flask of acid, 10 torches, one tindertwig, and 5 flasks of oil.

That is quite a saving! Maybe we could get a modern version with a pack of matches?

I'm told Alchemist's Fire doesn't exist, so that's why I grabbed the pricier Alchemist's Charges. If we want to go discount, are vials of acid at 10gp an option? The game has sulfuric acid as a banned substance, but that's way stronger than Pathfinder acid.

Also, agree with matches instead of torches. I apparently already bought a lighter for myself which I forgot about.

Damn it old book! I am sure it said alchemists fire was a go.

So, under the sulpuric acid, it says acid attacks other than spells that do acid damage are forbidden. So I'd say even normal pathfinder acid is banned.

Okay, Arthur, quick note, you seem to keep running as though Messenger is something you choose, it's not. Messengers are chosen descendants of gods to join Xcrawl. Gonna have to see what I can do with that.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Okay, decided to give the allstars a single role to outdo you glade wolf, they were not intimidated. They looked at you like you were a slug.

Ok thanks for the reminder. I'm that I had acolyte days since I work in the church of Vesta as a therapist, which makes sense to me since I'm also a messenger of Vesta. Does that work?

It's not the acolyte that's the problem, so yeah that's fine.

I know permanent fame starts at 1 but where does temporary fame start? 1? 0? I did some bookkeeping and realized I don't know this.

Link does not work for me either, just goes to an empty campaigns tab. And into a comfortable what? Or is the link supposed to supply that information?

Okay, should work now.

Awesome! Works for me. I'm mostly new to the VTT. Should I be able to move my token around at this point? I don't see how too so I'm guessing not.

Should we know what Larry's Castle is? It would be helpful if we could get a small explanation in order to react correctly, etc.

I hope Larry's Castle is something like Takeshi's Castle.

LOL, the only thing Google turned up was a level in Mario.

It's a sitcom mentioned in the books

Not able to connect to roll20. It says thst mobile browser not supported.

Does it mention anything else? Where is it in the books? Stuff like that could be fun to play up, but just a name is not much to work with. If we have some information to play off we can all reminisce and bond. Or can we just do a first one to jump on the improv gets to set the shows content?

Nope. And while it would be fun I just assume it's a man of the house type show.

Is that the only way you have to get on Geryon?

Phone, or tablet. My laptop died on me...

I do have access to a PC, but more than half of my posts are made via tablet - though its not a big problem for me. Is there an advantage to Roll 20 for this purpose? Most GMs seem to use google slides, and it seems more effective unless you are trying to use some additional features on Roll 20? And importantly handles tablets and phones fine.

There are apparently apps for Roll20. May be worth trying, but I don't have any actual experience with it.

Oh, that might solve the problem, I will check them out :)

I looked through the tutorial and roll20 has some pretty nice features once we get over the initial learning curve, I think.

The app does not seem to work very well, when I sign in I get a blank screen, with access to the journal and setting, etc., but I cannot see the green room or my avatar like on the PC. Like I said not a big problem for me, though I prefer posting with my tablet a lot of the time.

In fairness we were told up front Roll20, just seems less convenient than google slides for our purposes at the moment. What features do you think would work for us Arthur?

It's quite nice for the GM to easily create maps. For the players, the GM can easily display the hit points or conditions of players or monsters right on their token. Also, it can automatically measure distances if you're moving or worrying about an AoO. I'm considering trying my hand at it for my games.

Map creation is a nice feature which I was not aware of, and probably more than enough to justify its use - making life easier for the GM who does the "work" should be a priority. Now if only we can figure out how to enable Virgil to see it - maybe he will have better luck with the app.

I will look it over. For now, if someone is willing to move my token, I can manage. Thanks.

I don't know how to use google for gaming. I could probably pick my GM's brain.

Okay, so I've received some constructive criticism and had someone raise a concern about the slowdown, I just want to let you guys know that I haven't gotten bored. I've just been forced to concentrate on other things the last couple of days and it's slown me down. The fact that I realized I shouldn't have hit you with two interviews basically right after another has annoyed me too.
