Does Tristain normally bounce?
I guess he was bouncing. I didn't even notice that.
Ah, well that makes sense.

Tristain is a bouncer, I suppose.
I acknowledge that I'm still developing Tristain's personality and that little bounce scene is a sign of that.
He's impetuous and isn't shy about making an ass out of himself because he counts on his personality and charm to get him out of situations.
It's going to be an ongoing roleplay thing for me to develop...being bouncy and chatty and talkative isn't my usual nature, but I hope to push myself/Tristain into that over time.
Probably more of an answer than you wanted, eh?

Nope. A goldilocks answer if there ever was one.
@ Squawk: I suppose the card chosen is meant to resonate with our characters on that basis.
Nah, it's cool. I think we all develop our characters the more we play them. For example, I planned on Raseri being straightforward and a hot head, but some of the other aspects of her personality are just now becoming more focused.
Dang...5 cards picked within 10 minutes.
Well done peeps.
We're just that good.
Unfortunately, I'll have to continue when I get to my friend's place, which is a 1 and a half hour drive. But what I can say from these cards that you picked, congratulations, Tristain Stone. I'll leave it to that.
Sounds like one of us got lucky :D.
See you all in about two hours.
I'm going to guess the Locksmith.
Ah... so you've played this once?
I tried GMing it once. Didn't get past Lamm though.
Well the good thing about Crimson Throne is that there are a lot of game-changing choices, whether on purpose or random.
GM Squawk, are we done with the reading? I get the feeling there is more to come?
The reading has a second part called the Spread. It's just taking me longer to jot down cause more cards, and weird gray area variables.
Ah! Well, don't sit there answering my foolish questions! You have important work to do! Tristain is anxious to know what this all means!
:)
That was a mouthful
EDIT: I have just added portraits of Gaedren Lamm and Zellara in the Campaign Info tab.
This is interesting. I don't own much material outside the CHB, APG, and UC, so I'm not familiar with harrowing at all.
So far, I'm liking the interaction, though I'm also still trying to get the personality down. Selfish jerk doesn't necessarily include combative miscreant. Hopefully I can get just the right level of abrasive out of him. If anyone thinks I need to tone things down, let me know.
I like how there's an evil guy and a sin eater.
Then there's the fact that, this being Varisia, "sin" might not mean what you think it means :S
I just wanted to point out a quirk of mine and encourage all y'all not to hesitate to reign me in when necessary.
I've been playing PbPs for better than a year now and one of the things I've learned (to keep the games moving) is to really keep pushing things forward with my posts.
I know that I'll likely be an active poster when I'm on...so I might be pushing faster than others may want or feel comfortable with.
That said, feel free to ask me to slow down or do some ret-conning or retro-RP as necessary.
I prefer a quick and interesting game...but I understand there will be times when others might want to RP or move more slowly. Please make those happen! I want all of you to play and explore how your characters would react in situations.
Our pacing will become more natural over time as we learn each other's quirks and whatnot.
No worries, I've done several ret-con posts since I've started a few months ago. I don't mind the fast pace. I actually like it.
damn you guys. Nothing happening and you guys get 14 new posts up! hahaha. sorry, but it'll be slow this weekend and I may not post till sunday night (which would be monday morning for me) because the weekend is stocked with stuff.
damn you guys. Nothing happening and you guys get 14 new posts up! hahaha.
Awesome. We have time for 20 more posts before Sunday.
Yeah, we might just have to go on without you .. we'll let you know how it goes.
Let's not get carried away here, it's less than twenty-four hours before Squawk's able to post.
Well, discussing the basics of combat in layman's terms will probably delay the group some. You guys might wanna find a way to restrain Raseri because she just might attack the fishery single-handedly if you don't. :)
What, Raseri!?
We have 20 post to go before GM Squawk comes back. Let's see what Tristain can learn on the way there!
Or how annoyed Raseri can get!
Or how much...
Number 2 might earn you a good smack upside the head.

Oh good! So you are going to teach me to fight!?

Best way to learn is through experience, no?
Yes, I'm sure that getting thrashed by Raseri will be fun. Don't worry Fredo, I'll come for magic training too. ;)
You guys are incorrigible. You're lucky Durriken needs you all. Right now there are probably a dozen places he'd rather be than with you lunatics. :)
And I'm back. Hold on. I have to prepare this. You have three possible fights in the near future.

What're you on about? I'm pretty sure you're more capable, and will continue to be for some time.
Well, the dice roller is proving that it's not just my real life dice that hate me.
Perhaps they desire your first-born?
Ho boy. I'll have to devise an alternate payment, then. Don't think I could talk her into having one just so I can have one to give to the dice gods.
Is the boardwalk like a surface covered by a grease spell, or is it you fail, you fall into the water or fall prone. I am asking because wht happens when someone fails is going to dictate what Raseri's going to do.
The latter. Thing is, it's really hard to fail the check so badly that you'll fall into the water.

That's a good thing...
Durriken, Tristain, and Theron, what are your EXACT locations?
Goffred, since you've GMed this part before, shush. XD
Durrriken tried to be stealthy and moved to N,14 to open the door.
N 15
@ Theron: HUMORLESS EXPRESSION OF RAGE!
*pant pant*
I'm only upset because I care.
Wait, maybe Tristain can save them.

Tristain said this...
Tristain, confused by the east and west, trips over his right(or left, who knows?) foot as he hustles to catchup to Durriken.
So I think he's in N12.
Apparently not.
