Edit: I can post as my main, but not as my character... When I get home from work today I'll message that guy and see what is up.

Edit: Woo! It worked!
A lot of posters had issues yesterday happens sometimes :-)
I think everyone has access to the maps. Let me know if you do not have it yet.
Just to give me an idea of when people post will you tell me what time zone you are in.
I am in the Pacific time zone. Burgen and Quinn are also PST.
I'm in the EST (-5:00) timezone
EST as well
Eastern time zone though depending on the day depends on when I post as I post at all hours.
Wow, everyone got active right as I went to bed! XD
I'm in Central Time Zone, which is UTC-06:00!
Since I've made a rough draft render of how my character looks to help get the image across.
If anyone else wants a rendering of their character I can, but know that some things I can not do since it is pre-made content.
And Rego Darksome seen some of my render work.
If you want a render I'll need a basic description which includes; height, race, body build, hair and eyes colors, type of clothing etc.
Those that opt for a rendering will be included in the height ref image to help both players and our GM get an accurate idea of how tall everyone is to each other.
Some games I did a height reference for had some players shocked at how tall their or another character was in respect to the others.
Thank you for this generous offer. I will take you up on it.
Quinn is a 20-year-old human male that stands 6’0’ tall and weighs 220lb. his body type is vary muscled like a pro wrestler but despite having little fat has an oval figure. his skin is pale as is if he never sees the sun and His dark eyes are Green. His black wavy unkempt hair falls just past his neck (save that it is black and not brown it looks exactly like Aragorn’s from The Lord of the Rings movies). He also has a 2in.beard of thick black hair of the same wavy nature.
He wears basic farmer’s cloths consisting of light brown shirt Dark brown almost black pants and basic leather boots under his plain but fine quality breast plate at his left hip is a shot sword again rather plain and on his right a small pouch. his heather shield is black on the bottom and stormy gray on the top separated by a golden yellow chevron. He of course also has a backpack with rope on the left most of the time.
I can attest to excellent rendering work by Ingrid!
:-)
Here is Quinn Peasant Rough draft
For those interested in what I am using for rendering I'm using Daz studio with the Iray renderer
Oddly enough tonight and tomorrow morning before noon the Fastgrab (70% off) section has all the Genesis 2 starter bundles listed.
Fates conspired and work called me in early. Nothing like a 12 hour day at Home Depot.
Thank you for the rendering It was very well done and I liked it. I look forward to the height comparison and for that matter your work with any other volunteers. With the door, I can tell I’m tall but without other people it just isn’t sinking in.
for that picture could you make Quinn's skin like Ivy's or a bit lighter. I know farmers tan but for some reason I just can’t see it for Quinn.

Curses and drats!
What is for dinner?
I had a tuna sandwich.
If you want to know what your characters are being feed you will have to post in gameplay.

LOL.
"Must of been quite the mystery you solved, Rego"
I've been watching it so much with my daughter lately I felt compelled to post it :-)
I still recall some of the show from the 80's and early 90's
Your Dragon Ball reference wasn't too bad either, Ingrid.
Ohh I didn't even notice the DBZ
Ohh I didn't even notice the DBZ
Me neither but then I never really watched it :-)
More of a Dragon Ball reference then a DBZ reference since Launch is hardly found in DBZ
Between work, family, and what little sleep I can get it has been a rough few days. I have a plan for each of you to have a dream but I need some time to put them together. Posting will be slow for the next week but I will come through for you. I hope I am living up to your expectations so far.

Enjoying it so far! Thanks for stepping in and doing this.
RL happens I have certainly had weeks where my posting is terrible. Thanks for letting us know.
Black Friday is a killer if you work retail. My store took in over $633K on that day. Normal day for us is about $125K to $175K. I am beat.

I can understand that......

HOUSE RULE #1 (I may have more later)
I always thought magical healing should be more powerful. Nothing sucks more than when you are about to die, you drink a healing potion and then roll a 1 on the die.
I have boosted it so that healing does at least half. If normal healing is d8 then in my system it is 4 + d4. If it is 3d8 then it would be 12 + 3d4. If it is 2d8+2 then it would be 8+2d4+2.
Does that make sense?
I had a similar rule when I GM, but it was much simpler.
Every 8d is a straight 10 HP, so CWL = 10HP, CMW = 20 HP etc
Channel Energy stayed as is.
I'm just letting you all know, a very very good friend of mine passed away this morning. So the next couple days I may be slow to reply, and that is why. Or it may pick up because I want to get my mind off of it... Either way, I wanted you to know and when they settle on a date for his funeral, I will be heading down to Texas for it so I will let you when that is.
Sorry to hear that. My condolences.
Sorry to hear that, Caelynn Everbloom.
You have my condolences.
I'm sorry, Caelynn, take whatever time you need
@GM
If you want a nice immersion trick for PBP, that can be reuse game after game for GMing, make generic aliases (I've made 8) and All of them start with the NPC_GENDER_ROLE name format, click one and read the posts to see how they were used.
It is a great tool for games with many NPCs as a GM.
So Kendra gets her own avatar like this.
Yep, that is one way of doing it.
Though I did it another way so as to keep reusable across games without needing to change the avatar image, using a naming format of NPC_GENDER_ROLETYPE.
And put their name in the post at the top to say WHO the alias.
I just realized I forgot to give you the key to the map of Ravengro.
I have to get to work now but will post it up soon.
He is a copy of The Ravengro Map
This should save the GM some time and trouble.
So the plan for the day is that Rego and Quinn will search the study for anything that might be useful. Caelynn and Burgen will visit the Temple to talk to Father Grimburrow. That would leave Ingird and Lyra free to visit The Unfurling Scroll.
I will proceed with this tomorrow unless someone wants to do something different.

I would also drop this in the campaign info tab. :-)
At this point in the story you guys are in the drivers seat. Tell me what your characters want to do and I will respond. The whole map is open for you to explore. There will be several events that happen over the next week in the story. When the time comes I will put them into play.
I know it has been slow going here and I am sorry for that. The holidays are a busy time for me at work but it should be slowing down enough for me to spend more time with you.
