fancy new website
It's going to take some getting used to. But if it has had a proper upgrade and helps with the site being down its all for the better.
The dice roller on the new site seems to be favoring the DM again. :)
favored my turn just fine ;) not sure i like the format, as i just finally figured out where all the links i like are, but eh. what can ya do lol

Of course I don't actively want to kill any of you... but if the dice does it, so be it.... But yeah... I at least want to make the place seem SOMEWHAT dangerous.
GM, have you heard from Varrad? I'm just wondering if he is going to be able to join us at all given his horrible personal situation :(
I have sent him a PM and haven't gotten a response. I have plans for his character long-term, but I don't want to pull him around forever, just swinging his longsword.
Without giving too much away, if he doesn't come back soon I am going to give Varrad a leave of absence and probably pull in another character to take his place.
And call me Paul. :)
I should've probably said something here instead of in the main threat, but what's cool about easy going up by five for me square is. let's say that the opponent decides they want to trip you. They get their attack of opportunity once you fail. So if you try to move 3 squares and faIL the dc by 1, you take the hit at the end of the movement. But yeah, just one acrobatics check
Right. Thanks for the rules help. Some of these things are pretty murky and you have to look in 3 different places!
Agreed. I learned a bunch with this, haha.
Oh I know-like, I knew the rule, but finding it to tell you about was tricky to the point where I had to Google it lol
It is the kind of thing I NEVER get right in a face to face game. No time to figure things out. That is one of the fun things about doing play-by-post, slow pace, time to do it right for once!
Just going to jump in and agree, it's very hard to keep all the rules in check. In my home games, I normally like to keep thing rowing so we don't get bogged down checking the rules we don't remember exactly.
Paul, did you see the private message I sent you? I'm not sure how visible they are in this new UI
Feel free to metagame a bit here in discussion (without actually looking the answers up online, don't metagame THAT bad). Any theories on what is going here?
Portal? Ancient cave fused with tech?
Wulf and I were talking about this. We theorised that it was a crashed spaceship.
But then I don't get the whole desert thing. Unless the small corridor area we were in was the ship and we passed through it from one end to the other and there is another broken off section somewhere in this cavern that we will later discover.
Yeah that's what my money is on.
What Ton said. A crashed ship it might be broken up or we just haven't seen it all yet. It all links together with Torch about us.
Crashed space ship with a race from a desert area? This could be a rec room lol.
Seems like a buried space station to me, kind of like the Aperture Science laboratories in Portal. Some kind of desert arena or zoo habitat?
Is there a reason no one wants to talk to Zeke? I mean, when Ton or Wulf or Charles says they need healing, are they just saying that to the air and hoping someone responds? It’s a little, I dunno, impersonal. I’m not sure how to respond so I usually have Zeke act distracted.
ETA: Heh, I wrote that quick on my phone and didn't see that Charles already mentioned Portal. Remember, Bring Your Daughter to Work Day is the perfect time to have her tested!
My guess would be since you're going through some stuff and havent been on, they didn't want to ask Zeke a question only to have to wait a long time to get an answer. It's not supposed to be impersonal, so much as pragmatic, if that makes sense. Plus they don't know which of us is planning on providing said healing.
The telepathy terrifies Charles.
For what it's worth Ton is kind of impersonal but I take the point Zeke and will be more direct in my role-playing:)
Wulf has been burnt when asking Zeke for healing, and Garfaulk has used the wand before? When I ask it's more to the group as I don't want to call anyone out to just be my heal bot. Since I'm not really sure if anyone else can offer it to me, just yet.
I'm feeling a little sick today so if I'm a little slow posting forgive me.
Hi guys, Ton here as my GM alter ego.
I asked Paul and he kindly agreed to let me post here asking if any of you fine players would be interested in joining my Reign of Winter game.
We are nearly 4 years and 8,000 posts in. The group are a friendly bunch but unfortunately we lost two players in rapid succession due to real life getting in the way.
If you think you might be interested I am looking for 2 replacements to come in at level 11. We have a Barbarian, Wizard, Alchemist and Paladin Archer if that helps you but please ask me any more questions via PM so I don't completely derail Paul's discussion thread :)
I'd LOVE to join! I've always wanted to play that game but never got further than the second encounter.
Btw, Ton, sent you a PM. I can never tell if I have one since the site change.
Haha, yeah I know, I'm really not a fan of this reskin so far.
I replied to both you and Garfaulk, Charles. Your little account avatar should have a tiny red dot next to it.
EDIT: There it is!
Entirely my fault, I actually didn't send it :/
Ha, no worries.
Tomorrow I'm traveling for work so won't be posting much til the evening.
You all probably need the break tho...
For the rest of today I'll keep on things.
Sorry Paul, I posted in gameplay when I was half asleep. To elaborate and clarify;
Ton gets two attacks when he uses spellcombat. The first is his usual longbow attack and the second is a ranged touch attack with a spell. Alternatively, he can just cast any old spell and get a free longbow attack in the same round.
He can also deliver a ranged touch attack spell as part of another longbow attack. The benefit of this is that he gets to add additional longbow damage to the spell damage. However, I think I might be doing that by exception at this level because the massive downside is that it turns the ranged touch attack into a normal attack which is almost always harder to land.
In summary:
Longbow attack
or
Longbow attack + spell
or
Longbow attack + ranged touch attack spell
or
Longbow attack + additional longbow attack with an added spell effect
Thanks for the summary, Ton. Magus is definitely confusing...
Wulf maybe took the wrong archetype: savage barbarian j/k
The picture suits him quite well right now.
That "there was nothing to say" was a tribute to all the times that line comes up in Richard Stark's Parker books. I'm trying to model Charles' professionalism on Parker. Great series if you've never read them.
Paul, have you changed access levels with the rolls spreadheet? I seem to only be able to view now
huh. I didn't mess with it. But I looked and sure enough it was set to view only. Well, changed it back. Thanks!
Guys, do you want to take the opportunity to sell some loot?
In the sale column I have listed everything no one has claimed yet with the exception of the batteries, sunrod and potions of cure light wounds.
If we sell the rest and combine it with gold we got as reward from the skulks then we have 615.5 or 88 gold pieces each.
Alternatively we can just wait and sell everything we get at once, I don't mind either way but I'm trying to keep on top of the spreadsheet
I think selling is a good idea. Zeke needs to craft some more ammunition for him and Garfaulk, so we need coin for raw materials.
The Caskgrips feast tonight.
Ok I will sell everything as listed and split the proceeds
I have added 88gp to everyone's gold total (first row in their column) except Zeke - you seem to be managing your own gold a little differently with sold prices etc
Charles gives it all to his family. Maybe the little ones won't have to live like this.
Don't mean to handwave, but rp-ing that feels self-indulgent.
Charles, you have an entry that says 'new gold' and then your total at the top of the column - it's that one that I added the 88gp to
Zeke sold his crossbow when he got his pistol. It looks like you added 88 gold to the top of his column, though. Thanks!
Charles, I want to do something with your family in the future. If you could just take one post to RP something there, it would help me out greatly in getting to know them better.
Oh, my pleasure! I didn't want to be that guy who hogs paragraphs of RP. Spoiler tags, maybe.
Write as much as you want, spoiler it if you want. Charles is so quiet, I think everyone will enjoy learning a bit more. Though I have noticed, he is starting to get downright talkative the last few posts.
