GM WhtKnt's Open Water - A Skull & Shackles Adventure Path

Game Master WhtKnt

I am... feeling... let's put it that way. My medication and therapy help tremendously, but sometimes, they get overwhelmed, particularly in the political climate in the United States today.

No problem botting you, happy to do it.

Feeling is a good start. One day at a time.

Good to hear you're better, even if just a little bit.

I'm going to be on short notice until Monday. I have a con this weekend (CONTRAflow in New Orleans) and I'm prepping for it now. So if I am holding things up, please go ahead and bot me, and I'll be back in action next week, though I will try to check in as often as possible. If you are in the area or attending, I'm running three Savage Worlds scenarios: a science-fiction romp titled Moon at the Edge of Oblivion, a weird west session called Night of the Grizz, and a sneak peek at the upcoming Deadlands: Dark Ages called Sins of the Father.

FYI in case you missed it, the site's going down tomorrow for the big site upgrade. May be a few days before forums are restored.

I am making my bi-annual trek to Disney World starting November 29 and going through December 8. If I am in your game, please bot me as needed. If you are in my game, sit tight, and we'll pick up on my return. I should be able to post pretty regularly right up until leaving, however. I'll have a new post up in just a bit.

The marid thinks for a moment, as if sizing Faengrim up, then nods her head. "Let it be done!" For a moment, Faengrim feels nothing, but then a warming sensation takes hold of his body. Faengrim has gained the ability to breathe a 30 cubic ft. cloud of scalding steam once per day. Damage is 1d6 fire per level, and a Reflex save (DC 18) halves damage. This ability works equally well above or below the water.

Not what I was expecting and still so awesome.

Now I have to figure out how to get at least resistance to fire.
Can I expend a Feat for more than once per day?

Sure, I'll allow that.

Starting Monday I will be involved in Christmas stuff for the week and will be slow, if I post at all. Happy holidays everyone!

Happy holidays! (Christmas stuff here as well...)

Happy holidays to everyone, whatever you celebrate!

Happy holidays!

Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!

Season's greetings!

Hey GM, you ok?

Hey y'all! I just saw the game is still ongoing. Very happy for you guys! I hope things are well. The GM kept my character on the active list, so I just saw the post from this morning :)

@GM, I hope things had improved for you over the past couple years!

I am alright, just swamped. We have a local convention coming up in March, and my wife is the Director, and I am the Gaming Director. Since she is blind, I am her secretary, handling emails and coordinating with guests, vendors, etc. Until March 9, my time will be limited, but I will do my best to stay on target here.

Hey fellow Crewmates:

With the permission of GM WhtKnt, I have re-worked Chumtooth from a multi-classed Fighter/Rogue to a single-classes Slayer.

My primary reason for doing so is that as we move into the higher levels, it makes the it easier to keep track of the all the crunch. Chumtooth didn't change much, but now I only have to consult one level progression chart instead of two.

Anyway, in the interest of transparency, I wanted to make sure everyone knew.

Sounds good and makes a lot of sense!

Crazy to think of, but this PbP campaign started back in 2013, and at that time, the Slayer class didn't even exist. It wouldn't appear in print until a year or so later.

That wasn't even my first PbP. I've been playing in campaigns here on the forums since 2010.

Man, I'm gettin' old.

My first post shows as 2007. I've been old for a little while now.

Just to let everyone know, I am two weeks out from the convention I help manage (my wife is the director, and I run the gaming room), and things are getting down the wire. If things get slow, please be assured that I am still here and the game will continue.

Whoa, that's a long campaign!

Good luck with the convention!

If you need to get away from the game before the combat ends, could we end it prematurely so we're not waiting for thing resolve? I know this group doesn't chatter much, but having the option would be nice.

I can do that. I should have time to make a post tomorrow (and I think that Chumtooth, at least, killed his guard, and Faengrim may have as well).

Works for me as well.

Running late for work, will post this evening. Bot me if you need to

Lapyd, who was one of our members early on, has requested to rejoin under a different character. I do not have an issue with this, and they have said that they will build something to support the party. If no one has any objections, I will go ahead and tell them to build a character.

I have no objection.

No objection from me.

Sure, no objections from me

Yes, no problem with that!

Fine with me! Sorry for delayed reply, work got kind of unexpectedly nuts this week.

My dad isn't well so I will be slow to post for the next couple days. Please bot me if needed.

I sincerely hope that everything will be okay, DeathQuaker.

Hope your Dad gets to feeling better soon!

Hi all!

Thanks GM, and thank you all for allowing me back :) I believe we were level 7 last time I was with you guys on the party... YEARS AGO!

Anyway - I found Prasi's sheet, and just leveled her up to 10 with some minor updates. She's still a bard, still a Khitarodian, still a Varisian-looking Kitsune, and still here to buff you all and have fun.

Hope your dad get better soon, Riori.

WhtKnt, will wait for your clue to when to get back onboard (literally I guess?) in Gameplay. Happy to make any adjusts or provide any details on Prasi if desired.

Cheers!

The convention is next weekend, and I'm going to temporarily hold here (since continuing will probably lead to a big battle) until Monday the 9th. If anyone is in the Biloxi, MS area, feel free to drop by! It's just $55 for the weekend, $50 for Saturday only, or $35 for Friday or Sunday only! If you come, stop by Gaming Command and say hi!

You folks feel free to RP during my time out.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I hope things go as well as can be expected.

Welcome back! I'm glad RL has gotten such that you are able to rejoin us.

Hi team! I'll be off this week on Spring Break with the family; should be back next weekend. GM, please feel free to bot if needed! Thanks :)

Back now. Hope you guys had a nice week :)

I accidentally broke my glasses and haven't a spare set. If I am slow, please be forgiving. I hope to have them replaced within a week or two.

Oh no! Good luck!

Just a note that I am going to be absent from Monday until the next Monday. My wife has been trying to get to see the International Flower and Garden Festival at Disney World for five years, and we finally found a chance to go when it was happening.

Enjoy!

That sounds amazing! Safe travels!

Sounds nice! Have fun!
I'm not a big fan of Disney or the money-squeezing of these theme parks. But still I enjoyed Paris Disneyland a lot :)

I figure as long as you're aware of the money-squeezing and can afford it, you can have a great time at any of those places.
