Roscoe loves you too.
I think the best items out there we are going to find. There are a few in the keep for sale maybe but I have a feeling we won't get what we want when we want it.
Most groups I have played follow useful sharing items go to optimize a character's role in the party and to increase effectiveness. This works with a healthy dose remembering that someone already got this or that item so not going to get first pick. The non items and money get split even.
Slightly more business like is share buy back everything gets pooled together and everyone gets an equal share but any items they keep comes out of their share.
Naturally there will be some rp shenanigans but I don't think any of us plan on screwing the party.

Agreed 100%.
Also, as far as making gear, I'm a bowyer with masterwork tools, so if anyone needs arrows or bows, I can cover that.
...and poisons, but that's a secret. * stage wink *
I'm for sharing everything equally, barring any in-character decisions that might skew that one way or another. Handing out items as they benefit the group at large is fine, though if someone wants something non-essential (like non-magical jewerly or art items) I think they have to take that as their share of the spoils. That's what most of my groups have done. Pretty much all of them, actually.
My real question was, how do we want track what we've gathered? Before we have the opportunity to sell or share it, as I assume we won't split most of the treasure until we are back in town and have liquidated everything that hasn't been claimed. Does someone want to be the treasurer? I can do it if no one else wants to, though my math is dubious at best...
Ooc we should keep a list either here or maybe a document on Google drive of stuff so we can keep track. We can manage the split from there.
"...in a group as small as we are, we cannot treat any individual's life as expendable."
I'm so glad you caught that. Margût totally thinks of halflings in the same terms as most hobgoblins think of goblins: expendable goons. :P
Do we really have to roll for kobolds? They're basically common pests. That's like not knowing what, say, a rat is. :P
Getting more detailed info on their culture and whatnot, that I'd understand.
It's only a DC10 - a 1st level commoner has a 50% chance of making it. You've got 7 chances between you.
Sure, it's easy, which is exactly my point. What's the point of rolling? Goblins, kobolds, orcs and their ilk are such common creatures that just about every child would have heard stories about them—unless there is some specific reason that they wouldn't have. Just like they would have a general idea of what a wolf is, or a dragon. Whether or not they know anything specific is another thing entirely.
Of course, you're the GM and whatever you say goes. It's a nitpick, really, but this is just the first time I've ever seen anyone do it.
Well I take your point, but having heard all these campfire tales, a person might have a general idea of what a kobold looks like, but would they necessarily be able to distinguish a kobold from a troglodyte from a lizardfolk?
Anyway, thanks for raising it - it's what this thread is for.
So it seems. I assumed cutting the kobold down wouldn't be too much of a bother, so I didn't explicitly mention it.
I will miss things. Please feel free to point them out to me.
Internet trouble making posting difficult hoping to get it fixed.
Hi all - I've been rather unwell hence the silence. Bear with me please, and I'll post a bunch of updates tomorrow.
I hope you feel better.
You can pet my spider! She's fuzzy! That will make you feel better! Everyone loves to pet cute animals!
I will be camping and out of contact this weekend. Back Monday!
Sorry for the outage. Things got quite unpleasant for a few days. I have not been fortified with tea and toast and marmite, and a box of Bendicks Bittermints, which are quite simply the finest mint chocolates money can buy. I feel much better.
*Other mint chocolates are available. Void where prohibited by law
Sorry folks-going through some stuff right now and havent had time to post. Probably wont for a while. Feel free to bot me until I can get back.
Hope you pull through okay. Praying for you.
Just checking in to see how things are going. Any word on the game continuing on?
I'm still around. GM_Ragged doesn't seem to have posted anything since last week, though. I hope everything is okay... :/
I realized we might be waiting on me, so I posted something yesterday. We'll see how that goes.
Sorry - had a bad episode. Update this evening.
Super sick, might need to bot me for a day or two.
Traveling for the holiday weekend. Posting will be sporadic.
Sorry all sudden holiday .. posting may be spotty for a couple days
Hello all - I have resolved some of my personal issues, which means I should now be able to post at least every other day. Thank you for your patience over the last few weeks. I'll give everyone another day to post preparations for the ambush, and then I'll move things forward.
Sorry for having been so unresponsive. Unfortunately, due to real life circumstances, I simply don't have the time to devote to all the campaigns I'm currently involved in. As such, I'll have to bow out of this game.
Remove me from the active players, if you would.
Is it dead Jim?
Well, the boards were dead, but I think they've been resuscitated.
Still lurkin
It will not have escaped your notice that I am terrible at predictions. When I say 'everything is fine, we can continue now' is just when things fall apart in a more extreme way. I won't recount my woes here - suffice it to say I have been struggling to hold things together in my personal, professional and family life for various reasons.
The upshot of this is that I have let you all down badly by not being able to keep up with the committment required to run a game. For this I can only apologize profoundly. I know the effort and dedication that many people put into crafting characters and keeping up with the game, and I am sorry that I have not been able to keep up my end.
Now, here's the rub - the last thing I want to do at the moment is make things worse by saying 'yeah, it's all fine now' and then finding out that it's not, and going through this whole cycle again. So I want to wait a few weeks to make sure that I can live up to any committment I make. If, after that, we can salvage anything from the game, or anyone wants to continue in some form, then we can discuss - but those who want to walk away I understand perfectly - you don't need the frustration I've put you through.
Apologies again.
I hope things improve for you. As much as getting things moving would be great to hear I appreciate your honesty and caution. I will be praying things get better for you.
That sounds really rough. Here's hoping life looks up for you soon.
So GM_Ragged, it looks like you got some of your other games up again; any hope for us?
ooooooohhh that sounds good.
Hello.
Rollcall of those still interested please.
Still around, quietly lurking.

I'm here till its dead. Then I'll go through its pockets for loose change.
Still here! *rubs Roscoe's head affectionately*
