Welcome to the game. Congratulations to those who made it. Please report in. Gameplay thread will be up tomorrow, and until you make your first post in there you have the opportunity to make any necessary last-minute changes to your build, items, or spells. Once you do post in Gameplay, your decisions will be locked. If you have any house rule hopes for your character, or to see where I'd fall on certain cloudy rules judgement, now is also a good time for this.
Hey, all! Thanks for the invite!
I may make some minor adjustments to my gear, and I have to decide where to put my favored class bonus. But, aside from that, Quinn should be complete.
Thank you for choosing me, Spooky GM. I hope we all have an enjoyable experience.
Since I hadn't before & just now determined that Tieflings age much differently from Humans...
So, in other words, her parents were first generation expatriate Sarkorians, not third or fourth as I had originally been figuring. Yeesh, she's been kicking around the Worldwound & Mendev for seventy-some years...
Might as well go the whole sh-bang.
Hey Victrix, what Real-World Language do you think would sound/look good for Hallit, seeing as how Kellids are one of the few Human ethnicity's that don't have an obvious Real-World analog?
A small, musclebound redhead steps in.
"Reportin' in! Thanks fer pickin' meh!" She says with pride.
With regards to the Hallit language, what do you think of the Maori language?
What does your character look like?
Thanks much Spooky!
So I'm in Southern California which puts me squarely in PST timezone(or GMT-8). Where's everyone else?
Nova Scotia, Canada: Canada/Atlantic timezone for me.
Thank you for choosing me.
Reporting for duty.
Earth Breaker is perfect dwarven sneak weapon :-) At leat uncle Anvil always said so...
The Old Continent - GMT+1
Montreal, GMT -5.
What does your character look like?
I usually do a very thorough description in my initial gameplay post, as part of a character's introduction. Suffice to say, he is very, very tiefling... entirely unable to disguise or hide the fact. The avatar is a pretty good image for what I have in mind.
I'm in North Carolina, Eastern United States, GMT -5.
Gameplay thread is now live. Please remember to make any last-minute revisions before posting.
We'll be using block initiative for convenience. Enemies will generally work off of a communal initiative. Every party member who rolled higher can go in any order, then the monsters act, and then the whole party is able to make their action at any time between then. It just makes everything flow a lot better and means we can, if everyone posts, get through a round of combat per day, where normal initiative procedure tends to drag it down to several days per round.
With regards to the Hallit language, what do you think of the Maori language?
"Tino tangi ngā. Ahau kēmu ki te hoatu he ahiahii ia."
Missouri, Central United States of America.
edit: I obviously have no use for the Fiendish Sorcery racial trait & I'm not sure if Shatter or Deathwatch would be more useful for us as a whole, what do you guys think?
Many thanks for the selection. Given the strength of the other submissions, I know settling on choices was likely a difficult undertaking.

You did well to get out of Trickster when you did. I liked the application enough to choose you over a bard, and holy s#!& is that big coming from me.
Hah, thanks! I'm still surprised at how many Tricksters were piling on so quickly.
Today is going to be my Christmas with my son, so I won't be making a gameplay post until tomorrow. Should post sometime early-ish tomorrow afternoon.
No worries. In that event, I'll go ahead and continue on so we can keep things moving, and just add your intro post into a spoiler or something when you get back to us.
Merry Christmas!
All, I will catch up likely Christmas night...I've only got access through my phone and reception is spotty.
Yep, merry Christmas everyone. No pressure on posting these next few days, so don't worry about things. I'll still be here, but it would be s$*$ty for me to advance things too much, so I'm posting slow to keep the pace down. Nothing more disheartening than coming back to a whole page of replies.
I am sorry for the wrong alias, I was tired and in a hurry and have not noticed the preselected one...
At least he has the same avatar.

So, any ideas on who gets which scale?
*low whistle*... That's some pretty good stuff there.
Can't say who may want what... Seems like they're exchangeable, but you can only use one at a time, right? All I know: starting next level, the Burden Sharing (Shield Other) Scale should probably be in Quinn's hands most of the time.
Shield Other plus a swift action self heal (i.e. Lay on Hands) is a pretty powerful combination.
A person can only hold one at a time, but only Alter Self and Shield Other are selfcast-only. As such, Shield Other definitely fits for Quinn given his tankiness and ability to self-heal, and the Disguise scale's bluff bonus means it would best be put on someone charismatic for maximized bluff potential.
Heh, Consecrate seems like a no-brainer for Brighton!
I'll hang onto the Resistance scale then. I'll leave the Sacred Weaponry to someone else.
I would go for Cloudwalk if all agree.
Can anyone activate then or do they require casting ability / UMD?
-Posted with Wayfinder
I certainly won't complain about having align weapon.
Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days. I wound up having to work a double & was completely wiped out when I got home.
End of Month/Year is going to absolutely consume my next 36 hours (not in a fun way). If I'm still awake/conscious when I get home from work, I may post tomorrow. Likely I won't be back on until Thursday.
Everyone have a safe and happy New Year!
Hmmm... Guess I didn't need to worry. Are we on holiday hiatus?
Very likely. Plus RPG Superstar just started its voting period...so some of us are plugging away at that :)
Yeah, sorry. I was holding out for a fourth person to post before I proceeded, but then unexpected holiday plans dragged me away from the computer for a few days. I'll have a post up soon, my bad.
Oh, no worries.
Aye, the Christmas -> New Years -> Birthday train is in full swing for me. Should clear out soon, I figger.
Kind of forgot it when getting this running, but could everyone format their something field with the same info Brighton has? It's really useful for reference things.
Gender or Race...be sure to include Init and Perception. SUPER useful for the GM.
Belladonna, you still with us? Also, since everyone else has claimed a scale, looks like you get the Disguise scale.
To answer the missed question earlier, they work like normal magic items, so it's an at-will activation, no UMD or casting needed.
Oh darn. A magical item that helps me to conceal the fact that I'm a member of the second most hated & despised species in the area?
Twist my arm why don't you...
I have updated my field to meet your request.
How about a heads-up on the game status, DM Spooky? It's been over a week, now.
I sent him PM yesterday. So far no answer.
...so, anyone heard from Spooky yet?
Not yet...if it gets past this week with no warning or noone getting a response from him I will probably withdraw.
Yeah. Already throwing my hat into other games as we speak.
Lets wait till the end of the week.
I like this group. Should we try to find another GM if he does not show up?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Alright folks, I don't think Spooky is coming back. I'm going to withdraw from this game.
Thanks!
It looks like Spooky pulled the classic GM vanishing trick...
Too bad, I really liked the start of the campaign.
Any interest in looking for a new GM?
Certainly.
Although it looks like we'll need a new cleric as well.
If we can find a new GM I'd be in again but I won't likely be actively checking this board to see if we find one.
If someone wouldn't mind PM'ing me I'd be more than happy to continue.
