Reporting for duty!
Reporting for duty!
:)
I've sent everyone a PM. Your first homework is to do what the PM tells you. Also, if you haven't yet, read the Campaign tab for expectations of the game. Some of you will need to fix your alias page to have your vital statistics in your posts.
For Roll20--- once I get that up and you see your token, if you want to photoshop/paint/edit your token, let me know. I didn't have unlimited options so I most likely don't have your colors or weapon as you envision. If you want to change it yourself if you have picture editing skills, I can send you the .png file.
The first part of the game is Roleplaying only... I will post it pretty soon. You can get all of your other jobs taken care of while we start things up at the same time.
Hopefully we are all together for a long time. My real name is Paul, feel free to use it.
Hey guys! Glad to be on board for this.
I will get my profile amended today and have already logged into Roll20. Paul, your google docs link seems to be broken for me though...?
Zeke - we have pretty similar avatars which might get confusing if we use them on Roll20, I'll change mine though, I wasn't entirely happy with it anyway :)
Jamie
Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I didn't get the sharing option right. Probably means it doesn't work for everyone.
Your Roll20 picture will look quite a bit different from your messageboard pic.... You'll see...
Still no luck for me. Not to worry, gremlins in the system.
hmmmm.. It definitely say, those with link can edit... Alright, I'll look again.
If this newest attempt doesn't work, I'll have people give me an email address so I can just allow specific people to do it.
Ok, Ton'iel is into the spreadsheet. I'll PM everyone again with a new link.
Yep all working for me now, thanks. Made me realise all the different permutations of attack bonus a magus can have even at level 1!
Ton'iel-- no biggie, but put quotes around your bolded talking. Just helps me see it better.
Ok no problem. I don't do that in my other games so not used to doing it. Will do so from now on.
Those of you who have visited roll20 should now be able to see and move their character. let me know if you can't.
Glad to be here, folks!
Welcome Charles! (Chuck? Charlie?)
He answers equally to each. Ma and Pa had trouble with exact names from time to time.
I would imagine so!
Just want to say, loving the voice everyone is bringing to this. I usually have talkative characters and minimal narration. Charles is different and you all are helping shape this.
Doh!forgot to check in before posting. Her I am!
Chuck, you go ahead and play all your siblings. I'll leave it in your hands.
Hey, checking in here. I'll be sorting out my profile and adding more information to it later today. Exciting start.
Charles are you an Unchained Rogue or Regular Rogue?
Just wondering why you picked one over another :)
I've played an unchained rogue. The big draw is that you do dex-to-damage by level 3 or 4, with a particular type of weapon.
Yeah they seem a straight upgrade on the vanilla rogue to me
Unchained, and largely for that reason. Little fella will eventually be help in combat. So far, maybe not ...hahaha
I think a few of us will take some time to get going :)
This is why Ton teamed up with Wulf in the first place haha!
It's not every time that each member of a party starts with an individual voice, and rarer still when they mesh. Digging this. I've just got to remember to go back to my real voice in here, heh.
Yeah I agree Charles, great start.
Ton is kind of grizzled, apathetic with some things, a know it all with others, borderline alcohol/tobacco dependant and generally unpleasant much of the time.
In short, he's sort of a dick.
Don't hold that against me :)
I'll finally know for sure what it's like to hang out with me, then ...
As long as we can all find ways to make our characters want to work together, differently-aggressive personalities are so awesome! This should be fun for all of us to interact.
Originally I figured I'd have various siblings find the party in different spots. Just lots of shady halflings everywhere. But you all ended up going to one place, so the joke is on Charles. All this conversation is driving him nuts.
Oh no fear Zeke, when it comes to this kind of work Ton is all over it. In fact, its the common ground that will bring us together. He might be irritating sometimes but not disruptive.
And Charles, I hear you! It's easy to roleplay yourself :)

I figured the same; that Charles would have to track everyone down given all the points of interest I mentioned. But I underestimated the desire of adventurers when it comes to alcohol. Should have known better! All good adventures start in a tavern...
It's classic
You should be able to see your character, Chuck. Everyone is in the lower left hand part of the screen, so maybe you are looking at a blacked out spot on the map.
Oh, wow, it's working now! Hahaha, those are great avatars!
Having a spot of trouble manipulating things ...accidentally got my avatar way off where it should be. Working on it though.
I don't seem to be able to enter the room everyone should be in? Sorry for the frustration. Can you place him back, boss?
Yeah, that happens pretty normally in Roll20. (Accidently dragging yourself off screen and then you can't do anything about it except ask GM to fix it).
I'm using Order of the Stick icons for the entirety of our Roll20 experience. If you haven't read that web comic before, google it, because you are missing out! It has been running for over a decade now, and tells a really in depth story (eventually).
Helpful hint for Roll20- Hold the alt button and then use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out really easily without zooming your entire browser.
Oh, also the arrow keys move your character one step instead of using the mouse, if you want to do it that way.
Those are both very helpful. Thanks for that and getting Chuck back to the bar. And, don't worry, OotS fans, Charles isn't THAT kind of halfling rogue ...
I hope you brought your lead sheet.
Hahahahaha!
Garfaulk and Wulf, both of you need to get your stats into your alias profile...
Ton's leg isn't mechanically going to slow him, or us, down. He pushes through the pain barrier and moves 30 feet per round. But will likely complain about it all the while.
It's just a role-playing aspect I thought would be interesting.
It's been a pretty good start as you said Charles we all seem to be our own character and stand out. Wulf maybe a bit of a knob spending to much time with Ton, but he's very loyal to his friends so we'll be all the best of friends over time.
d20 is working for me and I'm just getting around to doing my stats now, sorry for the delay busy few days.
I thought maybe you were justifying with quirks a gunslinger-type who doesn't have Improved Initiative or Reactionary. :)

That makes sense. A 100+ year old elf should certainly be better than level 1 after all. Maybe his skills have degraded from too much booze and too many old injuries. :D
That's the problem with you youngsters, all smart-asses
Hi everyone,
Great start to the game and I can't wait to see how inept you are all at battle. Except for Wulf probably.
Couple of pointers to make our game even better. So when reread it later it feels like a true novel.
1) Double check your post either before or after for typos and edit them out. Unless you are talking and typos are part of your dialect.
2) Remember to include quotes around your bolded conversation
3) Write in the present tense. "Ton runs toward..." not "Ton ran toward..."
Yup, I might be a professor. Sorry... feel free to point out my mistakes too.
