Whooo, he has returned!
Woot! We're not dead yet!
And there was much rejoicing.
yaaaaaaay~
Are we going to have to eat the minestrels?
As long as we don't eat the menstruals.
Now Mr. Hank, there is nothing wrong with redwings.
Hey now. Keep that strange ZK-ness to yourself, Mister. -waggles finger-
Got part of my post up! I will post the rest tomorrow, I'm just really tired and about to catch a few Z's (Metaphorically, of course,).
Also, chocolate covered peppers are delicious! Found that out earlier today.
Urgh. You guys ever get that feeling where you've got a character concept you really like and would love to play, but no game to play it in?
I've got that right now, and it's driving me nuts. No game that I could join in is up on the recruitment board right now, and I've been watching it like a hawk.
Anyone planning to recruit for a game any time soon?
Sorry, Charlotte, but I doubt I'll be opening anything soon. I've got my Jade Goblin AP moving slowly, a Fallout-esque game on hold while I develop a ruleset, and a real life group starting up on top of college.
In other news, though, how's everybody's International Talk Like a Pirate Day going?
Charlotte, I will be in a week or so for ONE campaign, though I haven't decided upon what kind yet. What's the character concept? Is it a Ratfolk Rogue whose sole mission in life is to build a castle made out of stolen cheeses, all the while evading a Catfolk Ninja jacked up on catnip who seeks his demise? A Grippli Cavalier questing for the hand of an Orc maiden to build a kingdom of warty green people? A Strix Paladin born with the features of a chicken who valiantly strives to grow a metaphorical spine, perhaps a brain as well?
Sorry about the random craziness. Coffee-induced mania!
Wait, it's 'Talk Like A Pirate Day'?!!!
Har har, well keelhaul me by the beard, I'd forgotten.
The character is a young Vanara Zen Archer out on a big coming of age journey. Since he's journeyed from afar to wherever the campaign takes place, he should be able to fit in about anything, so long as it's close to standard Golarion as far as mood goes.
I have 2 character concepts that I want to play but can't land in games. My biggest problem is one of them is waaaay better in person but sadly, I have neither the time nor venue for tabletop right now.
But when I retire, I swear to God that's becoming a prirority.
As for the 2 games I'm running, I'm not recruiting right now, but Ill definitely hit you direct should I need to prior to going open general.
Oh, one of the games I'm in will be open recruiting shortly. May want to look into it. We are light on a lot of things but ranged is very definitely one of them.
DM Nomad Sages Jade Regent. .. I'd send a link but I hate doing that shiz on my phone.
Gameplay posted! A lot of OOC questions, just so everyone knows!
I have a half or scarred witchdoctor healer follower of the empyreal lord of martyrs in my head that has no place in any game i have seen. Trust me it fits.
Will get play post up in about 4 maybe 5 hours. Lunch just isn't long enough these days.
Will get my own post up some time soon too. In class, right now.
Also, Jesal, I appreciate the offer, but I think I'd rather start this character at a lower level. Hopping in halfway through a campaign is a little too late for my liking. Thanks for the offer, though. ^^
Shanky, keep me informed about that game, I'm curious. ;)
(I'm begging you, don't make it Kingmaker. I'm already in one of those and it seems the world is setting out to taunt me by having DMs start nothing but that one.)
Which campaign would you be interested in Charlotte?
I will be posting after my classes are over today everyone!
Hm... well, since you're asking, I'd like to hop into a Rise of the Runelords campaign, but I'm fine with pretty much anything where this Vanara Zen Archer of mine would be a good fit. (Given that he's from a tribal background, an urban intrigue wouldn't be a very good fit, for example.)
Hey guys, sorry for not posting since Friday, but the trip to North Carolina was exhausting and, as I discovered, the small town we are in has Wi-Fi for crap. In case you are wondering, my beautiful girlfriend is on the soccer team, hence why I went with them to the game (Soccer is nit exactly my sport,).
:) well at least we know we're not marooned without a DM. Small towns suck like that sometimes, so I feel for ya.
See you soon!
Hey guys! Great Wall of WTF-That's-A-Lot-Of-Words posted! Also, everyone read the ooc comments at the bottom of the gameplay post, because they are IMPORTANT TO YOU!!!
[ooc]I am loving this heated discussion. I'm having to temper what Iggy would do with what makes sense to do. Lol Cause Iggy really wants to gag Rhunn right now. But it's the fight for dominance.
I don't believe in tempering Charlotte's speech. :P
BTW, Cap'n Shanks, I pmed you my idea for the legacy item.
:p True, but Charlotte doesn't talk with his fists and scream by tossing people overboard.
Fair enough. Get her riled up and she'll spook you bad, though...
Yeaaaaaah. Not much combat aptitude at level one here.
Obscuring mist. Hide. Cause fear.
OoOoooOOOoo. I am spooky oracle, fear my level 1 spells. :P
Don't count Rhuun out of the equation just yet for the title o captain, Iggy may seem like the most likely but its rather hard to beat a man who has some of the greatest beings of the Ocean to act as his advisors.
;) You can have advisers out the wazoo, but if you can't lead the crew...that don't count for nothin'. But you can be Iggy's advisor. ;)
And Charlotte...well, Cause Fear is a great one, and Obscuring Mist can be scary as hell in the right situation.
But yeah, I have no doubt we all may have chances. It'll just depend on how things work out.
On the other hand, Iggy is a faithful servant and devoted of the Pirate Queen herself.
Your many advisors would make you a great ship's mage and keeper of knowledges, the "wiseman" of the ship, as they say, but Iggy has a class with entire features all about leading others, which would make him a better leader, all things considered.
With my current perception of the crew, I believe the logical repartition of power amongst our crew would go something like this:
Iggy: Cap'n. The leader, the man who rallies the troops.
Charlotte: The 'face' so to speak. The socialite. The good cop in interrogations.
Temerith: The wise man. The font of knowledge. The one we can turn to to appraise the most mysterious of treasures and inform us about the oddest of riddles.
Salt: The ocean wrangler. Reader of wind and waves; the navigator who can bring the ship to port.
Varisiel: The master of warfare. The expert swordsman. The one we'd send to duel a fearsome enemy. The leader of the boarding charge.
Janus: The doc. The patcher of injuries. Also the intimidator. The bad cop. The threat we levy on unruly prisoners. The one willing to do the nasty work, in a way.
I imagine the crew would run itself as an oligarchy more than a captain's dictatorship, really.
Exactly. I mean, no ship runs well on a dictatorship.
It would be more accurate to say "No ship runs well for a long time on a dictatorship." It usually works for a while until the captain press-gangs a bunch of PCs.
And then things go south...very south. Or is it that they go into the Eye...or maybe they go to Cheliax....Regardless,
dictatorships + The Shackles =/= good ending for Captain
Iggy: Cap'n. The leader, the man who rallies the troops.
That moment when you realize we're giving social power to the man with a Charisma penalty... and he'll probably still be great at it.
Hey now, that's why we have a face. And may I remind you that I only have that penalty on a very few number of rolls. The big ones for Iggy (Bluff & Intimidate) are based on Wisdom. Yay for Heresy Inquisition. We definitely have some good indications of heretics on the boat. Of course, I would never be speaking of Harrigan. Not at all...lol
But yeah, considering that, in a few levels, I can roll twice on Bluff, Diplomacy, & Stealth, and if I invest a point or two in Diplomacy...well, I'll definitely be bad cop. And everyone loves a bad cop.
Oh, right. Bad cop Iggy. Well then, guess we'll have to do good cop, bad cop, sadist cop.
"You should listen to him. You won't like what he'll have the third guy do to you."
Nah. We give them to the sadist when we don't want to ever make friends with them. "Oh, so you've made an enemy of us...meet our Doctor!"
[cue "Night Surgeon" from Repo: the Genetic Rock Opera]
...meet the crazed sorcerer who is currently possessed by the spirit of Yorick the Redcap dwarf!
Temerith will in most battles wind up somehow possessed, what could be more scary then seeing this minature cyclopi sorcerer shooting Ebon Rays of death(eventaully)?
We are going to be one weird bunch in combat.
Fighting on the same side, you have a devout of Besmara, a druid of Gozreh, an oracle taking the form of a water elemental, a possessed sorcerer, an artist of pain lobbing bombs, and a noble swordsman progressively turning into a pirate.
Fun bunch.
Just a heads up: After doing some thinking, I've decided to shift Charlotte's alignment from CN to straight N.
The debt she feels to Little Sister, and her generally aloof attitude gives me the impression that True Neutral would be more fitting.
So... This has certainly gotten quiet.
Mew.
He's a cat in disguise! That explains his crazed sadism!
<yawns>
Now now, cats are not sadistic they are er..."domestically challenged".
So they're showing politically correct sadism. This is the cat's outlet for true sadism. :) We've discovered the truth! It all makes sense now!
You will ignore Iggy. We are not cats on the net. I can has cheezeburger is not cats posting selfies. We have not taken over... of darn I mean they have not taken over your netz.
I don't know what you mean, guys. Janus doesn't seem all that feline to meow to me.
