Discussion is now open

Ralph, that's the same avatar I use for my alchemist in another pbp. You can start with 10 hero points.

I'm excited for the start of this, will be my first pbp so bear with me if i make a few mistakes in the begging

Yeah don't worry we'll all be on a learning curve so its fine. Your profile looks good and right.

Ade checking in

Change of name/setting up my profile now.

Ade what trait are you picking? I've gone the serpent runner, would we know each other?

In the players guide it says it's largely irrelevant if you know each other or not but I'll work with it

By the way, everyone read the players guide and the info on the campaign tab please

Ive gone with alabaster outcast, read my backstory Dan its on my profile. You could know me from my fathers shop. You could have been a customer and if your a similar age to my character we could be friends.

Just started my profile will edit it and get it ready for the weekend

It's starting to come together.

This is good, if anyone has any questions about posting on here good time to ask is now.

Yah Ade don't think i would have known you, bit high class for me.

I hope people get into the habit of checking this regularly. I'd like to post the first gameplay post proper this weekend if that's acceptable.

Also, we'll likely start slow as people get used to it but I'd like to aim for two posts a day for everyone average? It only takes a couple of minutes.

Fair enough dan, no probs. Dunno what your background is but look forward to finding out. Lets get this adventure started!

Everyone please click this link and read the first two posts of Doomed Hero's guide to play by post gaming. Very useful and informative.

Thanks Jam very useful. ill try get my back story online this afternoon and i am ready to start when ever. Looking forward to this

It's up and i am ready to play

What does everyone want to do with treasure/wealth? Do you want to run it like our home game from a spreadsheet? i'll get it off Jaime and fill it in and post what's what after every time we dish out gold and items.

What do you think?

I think that's a fair way of doing it

Yea i like doing it that way

Nice rolls kyle.

Yea my thought exactly

At the end of your combat posts can you put how many hp you are currently on please? Makes it easier for me

aye no worries

I'm enjoying this guys. I was genuinely surprised by this encounter which doesn't happen that much on table top. Also loving all the role palying

Do we have to track our own XP or will tell us when we level up?

How do you guys want to handle tracking xp?

Can you tell you tell us when we level up or would you prefer to tell us after each encounter?

Also if a creature is killed from others attacks and I cast a spell after do I still lose the spell or do I keep?

I can track it if you guys like? and if it makes it easier for Jamie?

The easiest way is for me to just tell you when you level up. In pbp you might not do every single encounter because a fight that lasts five minutes at the table can last a day in pbp. Up to you though

Yeah im okay with you telling us when we level. Who wants that ring of feather fall guys? and who Wants the silver dagger? should we do like table top and roll for it, if you want it, highest gets it?

Jamie, i'm happy to keep XP like i'm keeping loot so whatever is easier on you.

I can post a picture of what the wealth looks like each time so sort loot out too.

Rolling is fine by me, i'd like both i guess we'll see who else want's them now.

unless person with lowest wealth at that time gets first refusal on all items

Ok keep XP for now dan. If I find you aren't getting all XP cos some encounters are passed over ill look at it again.

Na bob it will just work out with money then and can just buy what they want.

But we'll see what the other two think.

i mean instead of rolling for items we find, person with lowest wealth has first refusal

May not post at all tomorrow guys, out all day with work

That's fine, Jaime.

Stuff we need to discuss.

We have a ring of feather fall and a MW silver dagger as loot to give out who wants them?

Quest One - Finding Natalya

Check - Sczarni/(Nidalese slavers)/(Arvensoar city watch)
Amazing Zograthy - washers row in dockway.

That's what I've got so far, i say we check Zograthy first we at least know where he is and don't really need to ask around.

I don't want any of them I would rather sell them and use the money to make my own stuff so if you guys want them take them.

also what you guys think of these http://www.gamingpaper.com/gaming_paper_colors.php?.
Think it would make table top run a bit faster for none random encounters so I can prepare the maps before hand? I am not ordering from there though because shipping charge is $42 to out side america which is mental but if any of you do see cheaper ones about can you let me know?

I used to use overhead projector sheets to pre draw encounter areas, they are cheap and re useable. Just put it on the battle map draw out your areas before hand and sorted.

I dont mind which way we do the loot, whatever is easiest, I wouldnt mind the ring but dont care if someone else wants it.

Remember we got 100 gold each i'll put this on the spreadsheet.

Let's role for the loot.

Ring: 1d100 ⇒ 100
Dagger: 1d100 ⇒ 74

I do not want the ring or the dagger any of you can have them

You got a hundred gold between you. The reward was 500gp total.

What's that mean Jaime?

ring: 1d100 ⇒ 56

Dagger: 1d100 ⇒ 65

Ha rolled shit then, nice rolls dan !

Ok I'll post loot/money later.

Guys, I've realised that the link to the map can be lost once a few people post. This will probably be a bigger problem when a combat goes over two pages so it would be difficult to reference when you needed to.

Instead I'll put a short description in the campaign info which appears at the top of every gameplay page saying what you're currently doing with a link to the map. This way itll always be on your first page at the top.

Seem ok?

sounds good

Current Wealth-

Dom-49.5 Gold/Potion CLW
Ralph-49.5 Gold/Potion CLW
Davos-66 Gold
Gelbor-33 Gold/Ring/Dagger

how have we got so much Gold? that woman only gave us 100gps to share we get only get 500gp if we find that woman isn't it?
