Den is gonna stand in the road blocking people from leaving until one group is fully mounted and the other fully on foot. :)
lol, that's awesome. Will and Castor both have their own mounts, right? Or remind me who's mounted please.
Oh all right! Brom will grudgingly ride a nasty stinky horse
That works for me. :)
Sounds like a good occasion for RP, haha.
But yeah, sorry for the inconvenience, but I really can't justify Castor letting his horse out of his sight roleplay-wise, nor crunch-wise.
Role playing wise - we have been tasked to explore the area. My ranger is ready to insist the people with horses go in one group and be twice as efficient. In his view its literally crazy not to do this.
But out of character I have seen no role playing tie to your horse Castor so I do not get your statement. What did I miss?
It hasn't had much chances of coming up yet, but Castor has lived on the road pretty much all of his life, and Capella was a gift from a merchant that he helped, long ago. He sees her as a travel companion more than a simple pack animal, and traveling without her around would feel very wrong to him.
I should try to play it up a little more, but I haven't yet found occasions to.
Have you named it yet Castor? That always seems to help get attached to pets. ;)
...Capella was a gift from a merchant that he helped, long ago.
Maybe Cappi can use Brom as a mount? ;-)
How does Brom feel about a bridle?
And spurs could give you some cool new scars. Just think about it.
He's probably into it...
As the elven ranger prepares to depart he ask How many days does each group plan to be out? And how much longer than that does the other group go looking for an overdue group?
Five days, perhaps? Gives time to explore a hex and a little loose in case an incident slows the party down.

Wrong thread?
But yeah I'd say 5 days if we have the rations for it.
I deleted the post since.
I thought Dendarial had posted in the wrong thread because it looked like a RP post, but then I remembered Den was part of the other group.
Yeah, still could have been meant for RP just like we do sometimes. Oh well, doesn't matter.
It was. Not sure where my head is today...
I pity Brom's enemy.
That was a surprisingly long -but very welcome- weekend. :)
GM: A quick question about story vs dialogue. I may have asked this before, but does initiating/continuing a conversation slow down the story as an unintended consequence? Meaning do you sometimes wait for conversations to resolve themselves before the story moves ahead?
Recalling what we've done so far I don't believe that's the case, but wanted to be sure.
I definitely do not like pushing things forward if you all are in the middle of something if I can help it. I am all for letting you all set the pace, allowing for as much or as little roleplay as you choose to enjoy. That is after all the reason for a roleplaying game :)
I see your point.
Sometimes, and I realize this is a bit backwards way of thinking as it is a Roleplaying Game as you said, I feel hesitant to initiate a conversation as I'm also just as interested -if not moreso- in seeing the story continue. It's an interesting problem to have, wanting to RP and keep the overall story moving, and finding that balance. I wish this thought included a solution for myself, but for now it's just an interesting problem. :)
Sorry, my 80 y/o grandmother is hospitalised after a fall, and she's got some surgery today. Hoping for the better...
I won't have enough time- or won't be in the mood- to post for the next 2-3 days.
Dm, please feel free to do any needed roll for Hadin.
Oh dear. I hope she makes a good recovery.
Indeed. I pray things improve!
Condolences and keeping yall in my thoughts.
Dropping a note to all of my games. I'm out of the loop until Monday, fulfilling my VC duties and running a convention this weekend in Lexington, KY. I'll be back on Sunday but will probably be passed out from exhaustion and getting some rest. I'll see everyone on Monday!
What is the name of the con?
Scarefest
Found the website, but do not see PFS mentioned and do not see a warhorn for the event. Is there a list of what is offered somewhere?
Hey, I've got a character poking me to put him in a game, and no game in sight. Anyone planning on recruiting for a game any time soon? (Or can you recommend me one? :P)
I'm looking to play a Vanara, for what it's worth.
What's a Vanara?
Those monkey-like humanoids from the Advanced Race Guide.
In the end I applied on a second Kingmaker campaign with him, seemed like the kind of adventure for the character I had in mind, and it'll be fun to compare how the two sandboxes evolve differently.
(By the way, Brom, I should thank you for the inspiration of 'stranger from a different culture winding up entangled in the politics of a charter.')
lol, well you're welcome... I think. :)
His case is different in that rather than having a charter foisted on him, he saw an occasion in it to make his coming of age journey extra impressive, and one of the higher authorities involved with the charter, figured an odd traveler with an exotic skillset might make for a good asset against bandits etc.
Sounds like fun, plus I think the race type sounds interesting. Playing 2 different games of the same path can be difficult, but I'm sure you can handle it.
May I inquire as to what makes it particularly difficult?
The rist of accidentally metagaming or getting confused?
I'd like to know what I'm getting into while it's not too late to pull back out of the other game, haha.
On second thought, I've withdrawn from the other kingmaker I had applied to. I can see some issues arising for me with having twice the same path going, so I'm not gonna chance it.
Yeah difficult to avoid knowledge transfer, and while I said difficult but what I think I meant is more along the lines of 'less fun'. That's just been my experience though.
Kingmaker seems to be amazingly popular on these boards. There's two or three games recruiting for it right now.
Wow, that is popular! I haven't poked my head onto the recruiting boards in awhile, too much temptation there. :)
Yeah...
Turns out it's pretty hard to find a home for a Vanara Zen Archer.
I'm surprised there's so many. If I remember correctly, this group rose out of a desire to see the adventure path run with discouragement that it wasn't coming up for recruitment anymore. And we filled two groups!
I'm very pleased with this one though. I think it's being run fantastically, and I like the players (don't let it go to your heads).
Too late!
Good teams gives good times. ;-)
Look, a bear!
I want its hide!! :)
For dismount to be a free action and not a move action is a ride check DC20, fyi.
Oh, my bad. *fix*
By the way, Trips, I was wondering, how did you do the colored borders on the pieces in Roll20?
Just MS Paint. Set a background to a color I wanted with a 70x70 pixel size, copied your forum avatars, re sized slightly, and pasted them over the background.
