Game is now open
Hey all!
Hi gang!
Hello!
Reporting in as ordered!
If all players could get their HP, saves, AC, passive and active perception, initiative,and spell slots of 1st level and higher into their posting bar, that would be great. Similar to what Cade and Sevren have already done.
Hail adventurers.!
hey
I'm ready to go. Did the dot and delete in the gameplay thread so the game pops up on my campaign listings.
Woops, I forgot to delete mine..
The first game post will be going up later today
I remembered all the I fo about the vampire spawn and saving the towm, but completely forgot that you put all the wedding information in the original opening post.
Sorry about the redundancy!
It's all good, wveryone could use a reminder here and there.
GM, you're still with us, right?
I am a bit worried about the multiple instances of the GM disappearing for days on end without notice, especially when the game was described as a once per day post type of game.
It's ok to be absent for a bit, but without a heads up it makes me worried.
Yep, I'm here, not a disappearing act this time. Just allowing some rp time, though maybe a little bit too much in hindsight.
In my opinion, keep the story moving and we will work in RP along the way. Long pauses are not good for pbp.

That would also be my preference.
Indeed. And GM posts should almost always be a push post - a post that drives the story forward and gives people something to respond to.
So far, we've had two posts with minimal to work with andong pauses between.
Not good for a game that advertised as a once per day posting rate.
Apologies then to my players, I will change it up
Thanks, GM. Sorry we piled on with the feedback. Just trying to prevent a problem before it arises.
Yup! I've seen too many PBO games die before their time due to similar issues.
Here's a couple of works which showcase what is needed to keep a PBP not only alive but thriving:
Doomed Hero's Guide to PBP Gaming.
Building a Better Doomed Hero: Painlord's Advanced Guide to PBP Gaming
Painlord's Guide to PBP GMing, Making the World a Better Place
Found and corrected two errors with my character. Draconic Sorcerer does not grant resistance (removed), but does grant +1 HP per sorc level (added 1 HP).
Don't apologise for the advice! It's been too long since I ran or played in PbP, so a correction was probably in order.
Thank you also for those links, definitely be checking those out.
And good, I must if skipped right over that in your character while looking at them. Appreciate the self correction.
It'll be an ongoing battle with this PC. :)
Lol bookrat, you signed up for it though. Lol.
Hahaha. Yeah have fun, Bookrat. What's the next level you'd take?
Bard. :)
He can already play an instrument, and it would add several more cantrips.
My Wi-Fi kicked off suddenly yesterday, and it finally got it working again just a little bit ago. Due to the time though, I am going to delay my post for today for a few more hours. It'll be going up straight away in the morning though. Didn't want to do you guys a disservice with a tired, half coherent post. Coming up soon!
Leon, are you still there?
I am still here. Just kind of waiting for something to happen. Not much is going on, and not much to respond to.
Got it, thanks for the check in. Was trying to see if our palidan was still with us, though it seems he has disappeared
Yes that's unfortunate.
I'm going to bow out of this game.
It's a lot slower than advertised, and what play exists is very limited.
Thanks for the opportunity, but it's not for me.
Excuse the extra long post today, but had to fit it all on. Any post competition actions or discussions are to occur now. Next post will be the call to the wedding if nothing else interjects, though you are free to do as you wish. All of the games have closed down at this time.
House remodelling is taking up a lot of the day, post will be delayed until this evening. Thanks for your patience as always
For future notice, no matter your place in initiative, you must post an action that you want to undertake on your turn. If, by the point of your turn, the action is no longer available, then I will redirect your action into one of the same kind but against a different target or, in case of something that does not require a target, give you the effects of a delay action to be taken in place of that action. Anyone who fails to post an action of any sort will be counted as delaying. I apologize for not reviewing this earlier.
As such, Sevren, if you would like to act this round, you can post an action before 12 pm Central Time Zone, then you will act. Otherwise, you delay.
I hope this helps keep the pace of the game at a higher speed, thank you all again for your patience with my rule tweaks. Post delayed until Sevren has a chance to rectify his.
I'm a little lost whether I can act again. Would really appreciate block initiatives.
[whine]It was not fun to post, then to be redo post, then the post didn't matter, because I was one-shotted.
If I can get any GM mercy, I would love to take average HP.[/whine]
Thanks
I'll think about the HP Thovin, my post earlier didn't actually post, but it did address your question about acting. The confusion was mostly due to the unfortunate nature of PbP, and the fact that I could not redirect your action without it targeting you or allies. I will think about a block initiative as well in the interest of having play flow more smoothly, thank you for the input, I appreciate the suggestions greatly, as always!
Thoughts on a block initiative schedule?
I'm unsure what Thovin means by block initiative but I agree that it would be helpful if initiative were posted a little bit more. Something as simple as the below would be great for me!
Thanks for the input, I will be sure to include it in the next combat to take place. Actions now are a little bit more free, let me know what you want to do.
Unscheduled server abstinence has delayed my post, hopefully we can get back to it. Thanks all!
Hopefully this is only a slow moment, but I hope to see some posts up from the other players soon.
Strange. Somehow the site outages made it so I saw no notifications in this game except for the one in discussion. Apologies.
Glad to see that matinence is finally complete, hope you're all still with me! It's been a pretty busy day though, so I will put up a gameplay post in the morning. Welcome back everyone
Still here.
Still here, ya.
Thumbs up
I shouldn't have said that, as we went back to abstinence as soon as I did. Thank you for checking in though, now the game may continue.
Almost two weeks. I know some of this was caused by the paizo site issues. I’m going to stop watching this thread. Send me a message if we get started up again.
Also wondering if we are going to resume or not.
