Just checking to see if this works ^_^

As a note - to see if ther eare updates on any games you're involved in, go to your profile and click 'campaigns'. There are also RSS feeds available but I find checking the campaign page is a little easier to deal with. :D

Okay, here are formatting rules
BOLD "Bold text is for dialogue and should be in quotes. This is for anything your character says out loud."
ITALICS Italics are for thoughts, quotes are optional. This is for anything your character thinks that you want to share.
DICE Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Are for any die rolls.
OOC Is for out of character conversation. If its extensive, move it to discussions.
SPOILER
Feel free to use this space to fool around with the tags and get used to them. [b] [i] [dice] [ooc] [spoiler]. There are more listed under 'how to format your text' below.

Hey Tyler,
Go to 'my accounts' up top.
Then 'messageboard alias' and create new.
Create one with your character name and a picture from the list for him.
Once that is done you can either post your character as a stat block, or host him on google docs or dropbox or something and provide a link. Whichever is best. :) You can add that in your character's profile section.

"HAMMER TIME!" Rax smashes.
Rax thinks he gets ice cream for smashing.
Alas, poor Rax. You are my first derpy character and I absolutely adore you.
HAMMER TIME!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Okay kids, another thing I'd like you to do while we get ready to start. Create a Status section in your profile, which will show up on every post.
To do this, edit your profile and enter the appropriate information under CLASSES/LEVELS. It should show hit points, AC, saves, initiative, and perception at minimum. You can use it for more if you want.
Here's an example of what it can look like:
Fighter 1 | HP 10/10 | AC 17/14/12 | Saves F: +4 R: +1 W: -1 | Init +3 | Perc +7
If you look at Rowena's profile, you'll see her's is more complicated and splits stats (stuff that doesn't change) with status (stuff that odes change) using the spoiler code. You can also keep track of ammo, spells, special abilities and whatnot. It's up to you. But I'd like to see something for everyone.
If you need help, let me know.

Done!

First gameplay post will be up tomorrow, I wanted tonight but there's a LOT of information to cram in it.
GM SpiderBeard |
First gameplay post will still go up, but responses are not required until after Christmas. It will show the adventure background and have you all in a room to talk and feel out the format.
Rowena is with family this week and so I'm unsure of her internet access. If I hear nothing by Friday I will take over for her.

Is there anywhere in particular that we're starting from, or are we just free to meander around the city?
GM SpiderBeard |
Your characters are all wandering the streets this evening. You can meet up with each other, go alone - whatever you want. The beginning of this game (which I'm playing in) had some great intro roleplaying. You don't need to post anything long - this is just a way to start feeling out characters and the format.

I've been asked about magic item purchases.
Lepidstadt is a small city and so there isn't a giant 'magic mart' where you can crack open the book and take a look at what you want.
Basic +1 weapons are available as well as commonly found potions, scrolls, and wands and some common miscellaneous magic items like cloaks of resistance or rings of protection.
Anything else is going to have to require some searching out and time.
As there is a University in town with a few wizards practising at it, you can get basic enchantments if you have the time and money.

Here are the instructions. Also, let me know what you thought of my suggests for the character sheet you sent me.
> Click on 'my account' at the top right corner.
> On the left hand side of that screen go to Messageboard Alias
> Click 'Create New Alias'
> Find a nice picture and name your alias
> Once that is done, click on your alias' name
> Click 'Profile'
> Create Profile
> Click here to create a profile
> The character sheet information is optional. Fill it in if you want.
> Under 'About Charactername' enter the link to your .pdf
Insert this information into classes/levels as a character summary. The X means a number from your sheet. ;)
Slayer 4 | HP XX/XX | AC XX/XX/XX | Saves F: +X R: +X W: -X | Init +X | Perc +X
And you're done!
Post formatting:
I wrote about this all above in this thread. But here it is again. You can always click 'How to format your text' at the bottom of ap ost for further instructions.
Dialogue is in bold [b] thoughts are in italics [i] out of character conversation is in ooc [ooc] Hidden text is in spoiler.
And dice is done like this:
[dice=Attack]1d20+3
All of the above codes are 'closed' with a [/codenamehere].

Gameplay thread is now open for business. As of now I'll require advance warning if you're unable to post for a couple of days. Since its New Years I won't yell if people are slow on posting, but please let me know if you won't be around.
GM SpiderBeard |
Hey folks I'm out for New Years and can't find my damn phone, so no updates from me until tomorrow. Feel free to post and rp amongst yourselves.
GM SpiderBeard |
All you have to roll is the amount you heal (2d6). DC is a number a target must beat to resist what you're doing. Since your targets are voluntary, no saving throws are required. :D
GM SpiderBeard |
Hey guys, just as a heads-up that Drau, me, and probably Otis all had a massive internet outage. No idea when it will be back up. I'll continue to post from work but there may be a big slowdown for the next few days. Considering only Rowena posted today, that works out fine. :P
GM SpiderBeard |
Okay, it looks like internet will be out for days.
That said, I will keep pushing this little investigative piece forwards with a reduced number of active PCs. Once our internet service is back up and running we can then move to the next set piece.
