I dunno if you just spaced on it Boss, but my newest three teams of laborers aint yet on the list of teams hired.
Found that thread, posted in it too. and hope you don't mind but I linked him your campaign as it is literally the only downtime campaign ive found in the PBP area at all.
I am running AP:Wrath and homebrew kingdom building campaign atm.
If I could master how you do the math/spreadsheets online I use a just a pencil and notebook for my "spreadsheet".. kinda low tech but it works for me. It would never work from a DM's perspective though.
How much actually work is our actions for you Cyrioul? 30 secs, 5 minutes 20 minutes a person?
And how much work is it to set up one of them google spreadsheet things?
Happy new year!
I'm back safe from holiday travels, and should be able to get things together today for us to move forward by tomorrow.
Uzziah, I'll update with the new crews, thanks for the heads up. I'm fairly sure they are represented in the main page's numbers, but I'll double check.
How long? More like five mins each, depending on the complexity of your requests. There are a couple other shortcuts I could put into the spreadsheet to make things go faster, I think.
No problem, I think that idea sounds like a fun campaign, and have put one into lay myself.
Saul, if you are still around, give us a hello, but we'll go ahead with the next few days and catch you up as we are able.
Happy new year!
Happy New Years Griar and everyone else!
For the heist per other person this 10 day period, even though ill be doing the inside work. Coin is yours to split up however you want.
I figure we have been good for a few weeks now, we can make another large splash and then take it easy again for another two or three weeks. So on and so forth. Need to do something to net us more gold.
The Council of Illicit and Mischievous Behavior?
CoIaMB? :)
Hey team,
Sorry for the delay. Spent most of Sunday working and prepping for a home game on Monday night. Will try to catch up tonight.
Im out of the picture for a couple days myself while I kick this. Should be postin again maybe Friday/Saturday for sure.
I still need Targets to send myself and my teams to hit for the other three of you this week if you still want one.. IF not no worries. and Boss sorry to throw a skew of heists at you, but im just trying to speed things up a little a bit with the gold intake.
Sorry to hear you were sick, Uzziah. Glad you got to get back home early, home is always better.
I don't know why its been posting the last couple as martin. Uzziah and Martin's names are in different placesin the list. martin is in a different campaign. I don't know what that issue is. Boss, if you want to remove martin from the list of characters in this campaign, maybe that would help. I think what happened was I posted one of his martins tales then came and here and went to post as uzziah but somehow clicked martin. Thanks griar, im glad to be to home too.. I was going to stay away from the PC today but I cant just layin bed.
Have you figured out a place that you want me to hit for you? or would like you any of my teams to assist you in your currently planned heist?
(fyi its a weird Christmas gift I know, but neither uzziah nor his teams are going to take even 1copper crown for helping you guys with This specific heist this week)
Also sorry to hear about the trials, Uzziah. Hope that recovery comes quickly, and that you get a lot of good rest.
Sorry to be so far behind. I'm hoping to update today.
These two crazy heists. kinda puts things in prespective. I made a good chunk of gold but ive lost 3/5 original cutpurses and 1 replacement.
I don't suppose there is anyway that I can find out the names/residences of those guards that killed the cutpurses?
Sure. You could spend a day just doing recon work around the city, and find out about these men.
Griar, you want any help with that heist or you good yourself? You can certaintly use the gardeners as a screen, my cutpurses are depressed and don't want go to on any missions atm, which considering they are still with me and have lost 50% of their numbers this week aint too bad. But ill come inside if you need a hand.
Cyrioul,
Shack 2 should be a warehouse on the 9th/10th I think. By my count anyway I should have no goods/labor/influence/magic just coin. Iknow what im doingnext week :D
I'd definitely be into your new campaign, Klokk, but I just got started on a standard WotR campaign.
Sure! The command you want is "Freeze Row" or "Freeze Column". In GoogleDocs and Excel, this is under the "Veiw" menu. It's a little funky to figure out what you can do with it at first, so plan to freeze and unfreeze plenty of stuff as you go.
Im going to jump full into this. Thanks for inspiring me Cyrioul. Im going to see if I can get some people to rebuild kenabres and Dresden in a twist on the Wrath AP. Your All welcome to come let play if you want.
Thanks for the invite! I'll take a look, maybe put a guy together. If i do join in, plan for me to mostly give crunch, without a ton of fluff.
If I had to do it again, I'd likely forego the HEIST system, and just use the Downtime Events as printed in UCa, just for simplicity. I think the HEIST is more descriptive, but isn't looking to be terribly balanced the way that I'm currently running it.
I'll go take a look and post an NPC.
The only reason spoiler in the mini campaign thing I am fixin to start is that the book 2 and part of 3 take place in Dresden (which is printed on the back of the AP books so not really a spoil per say, more of a heads up) I wont spoil the AP, cuz its I think the best written one beside kingmaker or legacy of fire(I liked that one a lot, a lot)
The players in my new thing, will not be mythic, will never be mythic. so they even if ya all were 20th npcs, wouldn't be able to do the ap.. and mythic stuff is mean to non-mythic beings. I still run 3 wrath tables. 2 in book 1 and 1 just ready for book 3 (on hold till march, whilethey play the renn faires.)
Totally fine Cyrioul. I like how you run this for us, its helps sink in all the rules. I just like a tad more fluff.. but I am really attached to uzziah that's for sure..more-so then other 2nd level characters I have atm. Perhaps itsthe whole he has people hes responsible for.
I'll have to look through those events. I have Ultimate Rulership/Campaign books.. I run a pair of kingdom buildings campaigns too.. ones face-face and the others on here.
I think without the HEIST system you have, it would be soo much slower. when I was sitting in the hospital w naught but a broken tv for company I came up with the idea for this spin off campaign.
There has to be some way to give gold/capital to the players at a more advanced rate then they can earn it themselves. Just look where we were would be without the Heists.. we be back a bunch of weeks. Most weeks would just be earning gp to make capital on theweekend so to speak.
I'm out, got too behind with things and frankly alot of stuff preparing for NCLEX and other things with work and life.
Sorry for no notice, but real life has a way of making you forget about an online game.
Cyrioul - Boss, whats up?
Thanks for the invite and for putting up with my shenanigans, but I think it's time for me to step out. Best of luck taking over guys. :P
Well it has been fun running round town here with you Jhilad, if you ever need a place to stay, your welcome to crash out at the shack, or bunks im going to get set up soon-ish.
Griar - Are you still on board with things?
If so, Cyrioul do you want to change anything around before opening up recruitment to bring us back up to at least three, if not four members?
You mentioned that you if you did it again, you would ditch the heists. If you want to do that, its fine by me.
As far as new players. It may help to balance things by allowing them to take over either Saul or Jhilad's networks.
Or maybe give Griar or myself a chance to sorta buyout Saul/Jhilad for say 75% buy value of room/teams.

Understood. Safe travels, sorry to be away from keyboard so much after the holidays. Enjoy!

Hmm, good question. Let me think on this.
Griar, any thoughts on proceeding?
Still here. As far as recruitment or whatever, I leave that up to you, Cyrioul.
I'm pretty sure we needed the heists for start up, but maybe they could be phased out over time.
Yeah, I'm now thinking we should have started at level 2 with a 1000 GP, rather than at zero.
Ok, I'll take a look at recruitment. For now, let's get caught up to the end of the current month. I still need to finish Griar's last section.
We'll be done with the Heists for now, I think, and just go to the downtime events instead.
My placeCase you wonder what my place looks like. It is upside down. But the outer border there eventually to be filled in with a lot of pits, then a wall inside from the pit, with a gatehouse coming in from NE corner. Will even use a couple courtyards to make "streets". This is of course assuming that Uzziah lives long enough to make it feasible.
I forgot to add the Burial Ground. It is 5 high and 4 wide from SW corner of the . . . . Main Empty Space.
Nice! Thanks for sharing. Always good to see how folks are visualizing their establishments.
Glad to help out. I was making a maps for four other characters of mine, I figured I should scan and posts Uzziah's lair here as hes the first of the other five characters that owned any downtime buildings.
Also wanted to show my logic for picking up the five pits last week Its going to take 30 more of them to finish the defensive perimeter.
Checking in - y'all still on board? Or are we done? I'm not pushing very hard, so let me know if I can encourage more activity for you each.
Happy Thursday!
Ive been waiting for a week(posted last Thursday the 23rd) for you to apply my rolls and such to the spreadsheet. Am 100% onboard still.
You havnt been clear when Exactly what date the two new people arrive, so I am assuming that is why they havnt posted anything in gameplay. But both Griar and myself are done with our actions up to 10/1/4710.
Far as why they are not in discussion, perhaps they need a link. I know some things don't show up for new players like they do for current players or dm's.
Bah! Forums need a mark as unread. I'll put those in now and update links for folks.
Alright. Posted my first pile of actions. Tried to promote my business and the roll failed abysmally. Oh well. Cyrioul, can you please check my work and then update me on the spreadsheet?
I'm going to have to earn a lot more GP next round. I had to dip into my tiny reserves to buy the capital I earned.
I tend to end each ten day with almost no Gold, around the price of a piece of labor/goods. Its only for a couple of days before the Collector shows up that I focus 100% on GP generation.
Was looking though the XP, seems that Griar and I made 5th at 5000, not sure if that changes the XP/daily totals for you or not.
WEll done with the Duel Griar. How far from my place is yours.. we never really decided on building on the same lots, so im assuming different location?
Is there a map of our town? :)
err 3rd even *)
Curden is still behind you, so we'll stay at 40/400.
Sorry, no map at the moment. I can make one if you like, but it'll take a couple days to assemble. Soon!
no worries, just wondered if/when it changed, was wanting to know how many more days I need to work on cleaning out the sewers is all.
again no worries, id like to be located outside the town walls, if any. with coastal/water access in the NE corner of my map, if at all possible. will adjust NE corner to be whichever corner is needed for that.
I was intending to fill the pits with water, after walls are raised 2 high. a couple drawbridges for access, some docks off that above corner.
inside am intending soldiers, bunks, a lot of gardens little more storage, kitchens and what not.
I want to build some extensive farms and gardens and animal pens, for that it will need to be outside the walls, may as well add a defensive fortress to the city in the process. Uzziah's cover is a gardener, but his cover contact(that civic gardening) is a solder that's in charge of keeping order in the city.
We had a couple dipping into politics heavily. Griar can supply the city soldiers I recon he will train or hire soon. You've got spend some of that gold you have there. :)
That and uzziah figures if he owns the guards, they WILL turn a blind eye to any of his other teams works. left unsaid is the burial ground with plenty of more room..
Sounds like a plan!
Y'all can go ahead and post the next ten days at your convenience.
Before I post, do either of you tell uzziah about what happen at your places?
No, Curdan wouldn't want to look weak right out of the chute. If you want to know what's going on at his place, you either have to be there, befriend Curdan, or gather information from someone who was there (in the case the city guards, since they had to break up the fight).
Griar tells Uzziah about his encounter for two reasons. First, bragging: Got to do it.
Second, it's need to know. Uzziah should know that the Spiked Gauntlets are all fired up.
Boss,am wanting to take a level in Ranger:Freebooter Basically im looking to make myself a little bit tougher and better at working with a gang. As I have so many followers. (im looking at taking squire feat at 5th, which translates itself into leadership but with the cohort -3 levels, not per leadership score.)
Im hopefully that that squire is actually a cavilier, I need someone LN to govern this fort once it is built. Id be more then willing to spend X Influence to gain his services, perhaps my guard friend in town, wants a transfer in a week or two. (basically going to continue earing xp till 5th on most days, spending a few each week to make sure people aint slacking off while im cleaning out the sewers.)
Edit: if duel archtypes are allowed. to represent all the time spent in the sewers
Yes. You can do more than one archetype. That works.
Interesting feat choice. I suppose that works, however, I need to look over the rules for having a cohort act as a "Manager", but if it's more flavor than crunch, and since you are expending a feat to get it, that works fine, no extra Influence payment necessary.
I had my HD crash on me.
Ill level self to 5th. Am not sure if I am going to go 3/2 or 4/1 yet. This will be my project for the night while im updating/reinstalling stuff.
Curdan Longfield still needs to go for his last turn of the month.
Friends,
Any preference on those to join us for Carrion Crown? I have a few ideas, but want your input, too.
Thinking of adding to our Paladin and Rogue:
Arcane: Baer Mytr, Half-Orc Magus (Staff Magus)
Divine: Cassandra Blackmoore, Changeling Oracle of Life
5th Man: Hung Hei Kwoon
What do you think?
