Looks good to me.
Oh, can we assign Rexus and Laria to be recruiters too?
I believe you can not, but if I see something otherwise I'll mention it.
What's the rebellion's current focus? Secrecy, Loyalty, or Security?
Phase 1—Upkeep Phase:
Roll to determine supporter attrition. You lose additional supporters if your Notoriety score is 100 or your rebellion treasury is below its minimum.
Step 1—Supporter Attrition: Attempt a DC 10 Loyalty check. On a successful check, the rebellion only loses 1d6 supporters. If the check is a natural 20, the rebellion instead gains 1d6 supporters. On a failed check, the rebellion loses a number of supporters equal to 2d4 + the rebellion’s rank.
Step 2—Notoriety Maximum: If your Notoriety score is 100, Thrune agents take action to round up and execute suspected supporters on trumped-up charges. This reduces both the rebellion’s supporters and Kintargo’s population by an amount equal to 1d20 + the rebellion’s rank.
Step 3—Treasury Shortage: If the rebellion’s treasury is below its minimum during Upkeep phase, the rebellion loses a number of supporters equal to 2d4 + the rebellion’s rank.
Step 4—Increase Rank: Apply any adjustments to the rebellion’s rank due to increased supporters from the previous week. This is the point at which the rebellion “levels up.” It’s possible, particularly in the early stages of the rebellion, to gain more than one rank if fortune has granted the Silver Ravens an unusually large increase in supporters since the previous Upkeep phase.
Step 5—Deposits and Withdrawals: Any rebellion officer can deposit or withdraw any amount of gold from or to the rebellion’s treasury.
----------
Phase 2—Activity: Perform rebellion actions, up to the maximum number allowed by the Silver Ravens’ current rank.
Current Number of Actions: 2
Action 1: Gather Information (Fushi Sisters)
Action 2: Recruit Supporters
I believe Loyalty is our current focus, right? It sounded like recruiting folks was our primary concern.
The Player's Guide says "certain important NPC allies can serve as officers as well. Your GM has information on these NPCs." There are six of us serving as officers, though, so it's not like we're missing out on any expected benefits, right?
As far as the treasury goes, we could say half of our loot is deposited and the other half is divided equally among us? Does that seem fair?
You can't change focus once you pick one.
It does sound like the group wants a Loyalty or Security based rebellion. Depends on how much we want to "take the fight to Thrune" so to speak.
I think Secrecy should be our focus, in keeping with our secret identity theme
updated the loot sheet (link) with values for weapons and armor. Brianna plans to appraise and sell those things we dont want. I'm sure someone else can handle the appraisal/sale of the other items of value. Can dole out some cash and fund the Rebellion once we have values
Proposed Kept Items: whip +1, dardevil boots, mwk silver morningstar, silver raven figures, mwk leather, composite shortbow
I propose adding 50 gp for the first week Rebellion week. i propose adding either fixed amounts, or no more than 1/6 of the share, instead of 50%
I prefer the idea of a Secrecy rebellion, but it didn't seem the direction we were heading.
The Fiend might be able to make decent use of the boots if nobody else was particularly inclined. But selling them for gold is also welcome
I like Secrecy. As the Thorn says, it fits with the All-Vigilante theme.
That's 3 for Secrecy, any passionate objections?
No, Secrecy's fine with me.
I'm happy with Secrecy.
I'd quite like the daredevil boots, they'd help me move around in combat a lot. Otherwise there's not much loot from the pile I'd want.
As for loot division, we should probably put into the treasury enough that we've got a bit of breathing room above the minimum required. We don't want too much money sitting around hampering our purchasing power.
Secrecy does fit our vigilante team the best.
I like being recruiter. No one expects the cute halfling ;)
Cool cool, change has been made. The old outcomes aren't changed by this detail so the prior rebellion phases stand. I'll put together a flavorful post on that happened this week in rebellion as everyone sorts out their downtime and the loot.
The Fiend could make use of those boots, if nobody else wants them.
Things seem to have slowed down somewhat over the last couple of weeks. Is everyone still here? Is everything OK GM?
I'm still here. I guess I was waiting for the GM to let us know if I rejoin the party without incident.
Ditto, I'm around!
Still here.
I’m here!
I'm also here
I am so so sorry for the past few months everyone! I have had some big changes to my responsibilities at work this Fall and my routine and free time are completely shot. It kills me because I really love this game and where it is going, but I don't feel confident in my near future and being able to post regularly enough.
I have a couple thoughts. We can
1) continue at a very dramatically slow pace
2) put this on pause and see what changes in the next month or so
3) call it
4) see if a GM would be interested in picking up the reigns
I don't personally have a preference nor would I be offended if you all wanted to shop for a new GM. I really just want to do right by all of you and ultimately express that the recent lack of attention is not through any malice or ill-will, but crummy life circumstances.
We've already progressed quite a bit and I think we've got a good party going.
Putting it on hold, and see how life goes after the added stress of the holidays have passed appeals to me. Attendance drops with the holidays anyway.
Slow posting just demoralizes. If we put it on pause untill the new year, we all have something to look forward to.
I think 2) or 4) are the best options. 3) I’d prefer to avoid but it’s probably still superior to 1), honestly.
I'm in agreement with Reynard and Agnes. 2 and 4 are the best options, but I'm happy to wait until the new year and see if circumstances are better come January.
Hope things pick up for you GM. For what it's worth, this is a great game and I'm having an awesome time.
I’m willing to wait however long it takes. I’m enjoying the game, despite the slow pace. :)
Perhaps the unpopular opinion, but option 2 seems just a slow wait until option 3 comes up. Option 1 does not sound as appealing to me as to some others. I must cast my vote for 3 or 4.
That said, I do not plan to quit if the group decides on option 1 or 2.
I feel more similarly to Brianna. I'm loving this game, but the long wait really breaks my immersion, and by extension my enjoyment, of the game. So 3 and 4 are how I'm leaning.
I won't quit if people want to keep playing, though.
Merry Christmas to all.
I'll be at the in-laws until Dec 30th with only my phone, so apologies if my posting is spotty. Normal service will resume ASAP.
Merry christmas!
Any movement on a restart at all?
We’d need to recruit a new GM. Our old one hasn’t been on the site in two months.
I know Brianna and I were fine calling it. I don't think there's the history here to justify pulling in a GM to salvage this run. I like Darius and his backstory, but I hardly had the time to become invested.
It sucks when games fall apart, but it's just part of the PBP life.
I really liked the game, but I wonder if a GM would be up for taking over this weird idea of an all vigilante game.
It's not that strange a concept, and all of us were pretty diverse. I dunno, I mean, we could ask? I'd love to keep playing it if someone is interested in taking it over.
I don't think there's any harm in asking. There's a lot of prep work already done, we've all got good backstories tied into the campaign, and we're not enormously advanced.
I don't think it'd be too hard for new GM to step in.
If someone wants to adopt us, I'm all for continuing :)
