Hehe, no. Definitely the wilderness, but *that* is more a once-a-year thing.
FYI, I will be away from computers and unable to post from this coming Friday evening (US/Pacific time) until Sunday afternoon. Since it's a weekend and I will fully catch up on return, I would expect minimal to no disruption.
oh my god its gonna totally derail the campaign!!!
hehehe
its fine yeda.
Lol, it never has so far. Practically speaking, there's also the odd chance that I can post from my phone (I just hate to guarantee it for so many games). So, perhaps pocket Yeda :)
It has rails?!
I assume Loxley's healing was enough to get her conscious again.
I did not expect an innocuous will save would almost take out a party member.

yeah...neither did i...but damn it was fun! lol
For the want of a Will Save. :p
Yeeeeeap! Iron Will goes on the list.
made the mistake of upgrading my pc from windows 7 to windows 10 yesterday...ugggggggg.
Fun times. :p
Sorry, been busy. ><
I'll try to get a post in tomorrow.
I can't complain Loxley! After my Monday, I'm good to take things slow.
This is an FYI that I'll be away this coming weekend, 6/12-13, with no access to computers or phone signal. I should be able to resume Sunday evening (US/Pacific time). Given that it's a weekend I expect minimal disruption.
just a reminder that if your character drops to -10hps...she/he is dead.
I'll try to climb up and take care of the goblin sentries while you guys climb up.
Good call!
forgot to tell everyone, ive gone camping this week and am in a low cell service area. Was out hiking when i came across a spot that has service, so i thought id take a moment to msg everyone
Sounds good. Have fun out there!
On a similar note, I'm going to have a longer-than-usual absence at the beginning of August (1-12). For most of that I believe I will have zero signal. So, unlike the usual weekends that tend to not be disruptive, there might be a little bot'ing required there.
Poor Loxley is torn between following and waiting. :p

Reminder on this, as it's coming up in 6 days. GM, is Yeda straightforward enough to bot as needed, or is there anything I can do there to help? Would it be better if another player took over temporarily? Who wants to be a sometimes-enlarged magic barbarian? :D
Okay! So we closed on our house and spent all weekend moving in, the internet should be getting turned on Wednesday and my computer desk is arriving Saturday. So with luck, and skill and maybe some more elbow grease and I'll be back to active status the beginning of next week... Oh man... This weekend was hell! XD
Congrats. At least your finally able to start settling in.
Im not sure if everyone saw this in the discord chat. But i know everyone looks at this site lol.
@everyone got a question for everyone. How would everyone feel about taking a pause from the ROTR game, and doing what i like to call a "palette cleanse adventure"?
Ive had this happen before, where both players and the DM kind of get into a funk with the game. And taking a short break from the main campaign to allow people to try something different, to take their minds off of their main character, seems to recharge the creative juices, and helps to reengage everyone involved in the game.
I know Zel is completing her moving and getting her desktop setup so she can do her proper posting, Corrin is going through some personal issues, and yeda is afk until the 12th, Loxley and sazzat are a bit infrequent with postings. And I know i havent been giving this campaign a full 100%.
So i thought id ask if we want to take a break from runelords, and just do a one off?
Itd be a preplanned adventure, and to be honest, one ive wanted to run since i first read it in the dungeon magazine 18 or so years ago. 1st level. Simple, easy, no muss, no fuss.
Works for me
yes yes and more yes
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
@everyone ill post this online as well for sazzats benefit.
Seems the consensus is to do a pallette cleanse.
I'll post a recruitment thread, character gen requirements and so on and set up the game
got the recruitment thread up for our palette cleanse!!!!
sooo...whos ready to start this up again?
I be here!
Have Raccoon, will travel
Have spears will stab? Also, pining.
Ready!
No, i havent forgotten about you guys. ive been rereading the module, and have the thought that having a 6th would be a enjoyable. so i opened up the recruitment thread to see if we can get a 6th sucker, i mean player.
Fine by me.
No argument here!
all good :)
Nice. It never hurts to have more skills in the party!
We've got 4 arcane casters and 1 divine right now?
You are right... I should learn to be a weezard
hmmmm....would suck if you guys wandered into an anti-magic area...
Oh yeah, but hexes still work!
They do?
Hexes are Supernatural abilities.
boooo
Jarl and Evriani have been PMd. hopefully they respond and are able to join us.
reposting this for the incoming new players
Posting Rate:
I plan to post at least once a day. It may be more, but i will strive to achive an average of one post per day. My goal is for everyone to be able to post at least once per day.
The normal schedule of posting will be monday through fridays, with an occasional saturday and sunday if need be.
I am in the Central time time, and i will nominally be doing my postings around 1200 CST. Tuesdays will be tough for me, as I have to drive almost 2 hours to attend a weekly appointment , so the post will be either before noon CST or later that night.
Combat:
I have found the following to be an easy way to manage combat within a pbp setting. Others may do it differently, but for me, this way works, and is easy.
1) players will have 24 hours to post their combat actions.
2) Player initiative is managed by first come, first post, first combat action. meaning that you dont have to wait for someone else to post before you due to a higher initiative. If youre on the board, post your action and whomever comes next can react to your actions.
3) The DM goes last in combat. always.
4) when the DM posts for combat, that is the end of the round, and a new round starts.
so, what does this mean? Lets say Zeldana, sazzat, and Yeda are in combat with a goblin. I will set the scene, have the goblin perform an action, and then post. once i post, players will have 24 hours from 1200 CST to make their combat post. Sazzat posts first, Yeda second, and Zeldana posts last. At noon the next day, i will compile the actions, have the monster act, make a nice summary of the previous round and post. Yeda, being on the site early that new day, can immediately post, followed by Zeldana and finally by Sazzat. And the process repeats itself until the goblin is dead, or the whole party dies.
and yes, i realize that this makes improved initiative useless, so if you took it, feel free to replace the feat. If you have a trait that you took that provides a bonus to initiative, feel free to change that out as well....
if a player is not able to post for the combat turn, or is away due to real life, the character is assumed to be fighting defensive and gains +2 to AC.
other important rules that affect combat:
when you level up, you get max HPs
death occurs at -10hps. This is a house rule and supersedes the main pathfinder ruleset. this adds to the intensity of combat and player death.
there is a map link at the top of the webpage that is utilized for combat. It is open/editable to everyone who uses the link, to allow players to move their tokens on the map. Be aware that this can also lead to accidents happening to the map itself. please dont delete the map. or if you do, simply undo your action before saving.
Howdy!
I've been off work for the past several days because my wife had surgery. Her nap time was time for me to piddle.
I am also Central US Time zone, but am not going to be able to post from work (M-F) the vast majority of time, and I do most of the dinner meal cooking for the house, so my posts will normally be after 1900.
Thank you for having me. I hope you get to like having Jarl around for more than healing magics. <grin>
Hello! I'm so excited I got picked ^_^
I knew you guys were heavy on mage-y types already so I didn't know how good my chances were. Applied anyway because I never got to finish Runelords, and the restrictions on character creation made it less intimidating to pick something, as it's been a while since I played 1E and I'm a little rusty.
A little bit about me: I'm a high school science teacher, and I run the school's D&D club. The kids mostly stick to 5E but I used them as guinea pigs to play some pf2e last year and got nostalgic for pathfinder. I've DMed games of pf1e/pf2e/dnd5e for over a decade, and played longer than that. It's been ages since I could just play, so I'm pretty psyched!
