Keolin's Reign of Winter Campaign, Table 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Nickadeamous

Yes, do take the time. ^_^ Wonderful news!

Congrats, Keolin. Take all the time you need. I remember how difficult those first few weeks were.

Don't worry about us. We'll just consider the game on hold until you can manage to get enough sleep to think clearly again. :)

Things are starting to get back to normal finally. So far my son has been a very low-maintenance baby that actually sleeps ok, let's hope the trend continues.

Gameplay thread is updated.

You lucky bastard.

Sorry for the lack of activity recently. I put in 3-6 hours of overtime every single day last week either for training or after shift paperwork... And then had a wedding Friday night, then Brewfest yesterday. I'm back on track today, but my folks are in town visiting this week, so my posting will likely be minimal the upcoming week.

Also, glad to hear the little man is sleeping well! I was blessed with that as well; however, I was unfortunately cursed with a pediatrician who felt my son needed to be on a 2 hour feeding schedule for the first several weeks. And that's not 2 hours from the end of the feeding... that 2 hours starts at the very beginning of feeding. So if it takes him an hour to finish feeding, then you start again in another hour. My wife and I were so dead tired... I felt like I was in an episode of The Walking Dead.

At least the overtime will be awesome when you get paid. I worked way too much of it when I was a policeman but the paychecks were nice.

That's the rub of it... Our overtime budget for the rest of the year is gone. So we're now being "paid" in compensatory time. We each have a bank up to 50 hours. So when we get close to capping out comp time bank, we're supposed to find somewhere to take a day off to keep from going over the CT bank cap. lol!

UGH. =.=

Hey folks, so another play-by-post game I'm in just lost a player, and we're down to four. I wanted to see if anyone was interested in playing Second Darkness? It's a slow-moving campaign, not quite as slow as this one (no offense Keolin!) but we're on the second book of the AP and we just got to 5th level.

We're on an island, and the character of the missing player, along with a number of other NPCs, died from drowning when a tower fell off a cliff into the sea. A new character could be one of the NPCs in the tower, who are all Cyphermages from Riddleport, or could be a member of another group on the island. For example, as we were getting to the island, a bunch of dwarves were leaving, saying that they had been attacked by strange creatures. A new PC could be one of their number who was separated, or there are other groups who have come here, looking for a meteorite that fell to the island recently, in the hopes of finding skymetal.

Absolutely! I have a character who was in a second darkness game that died at pretty much that exact spot.

His concept is a little odd though. I'd need to convince the GM. Are you running the game?

No, I'm playing in it. Here's the campaign -- you can see the other characters and be able to contact the GM.

We alive? I'm still waiting for how you intend to approach the tower.

I told them the place was alive with magic and then... a dethly hush. ^^;

I'm going to give the rest of the group until I finish my errands today before Ragnar walks up and opens the front door. :)

Isthere a door? I was under the impression that it was solid ice all the way around.

Just got over major illness and my entire family is sick with the same bug now. I'll be posting when I can. Sorry for delay.

Hey, you focus on everyone getting better. We can wait.

Gameplay is updated. Please level to level 3. I meant to do that before we approached the tower.

Going to Fighter 3!

Reflex save +1. Will save +1.

Base attack +1.

HP 5 + 2 Constitution modifier. Total becomes 25.

SQ: Armour training 1.
Spell resistance increases to 8.
(It may yet be useful. ;) )

Skill points: 2 + 1 Intelligence modifier + 1 favoured class. Investing in:
Bluff (8)
Climb (5)
Knowledge (dungeoneering) (5)
Knowledge (engineering) (5)
(The knowledge skills seem they might be handy sometime.)

(Time to upgrade my Drow Nobility later, surviving Witch's stronghold now.)

Going to have to get to that tomorrow night. Yay more Shaman.

I will work on Krystae later this evening and then get a post up in the Gameplay thread.

Okay... here's the leveling info!

Every time I go to level Ragnar I run into the same problem. I love his concept, but I can't quite get the mechanics to work how I want them to.

I'm thinking that now with the Variant Multiclass system out, I might be able to come up with something I really like.

For now, I'm just going to leave Ragnar as "partially leveled" (saves and HP up). When I have a build I like ill post it here for approval. I think I can have it done by Saturday morning.

On second thought - switching my feat to Improved Shield Bash, if I may.

I'm having difficulties with upgrading Elen to Level 3... I'll be back with it shortly.

OK... upgraded.

4 HP, +1 for Con, +1 for FCB

7 skill ranks:
1 in Knowledge(Dungeoneering), 1 in perception, 3 in Bluff, 1 in Sense Motive, 1 in Spellcraft. (I figure being able to at least lie a little would help.)

2 new spells, Flurry of Snowballs and Glitterdust. I don't think we've had time for her to prepare them.

Feat: extra hex

Hex: Cackle.

that's it. My Herolab was acting up but I got the license working again.

Hmmm, I swear I had a plan for Havelock, but I can't remember what it was.
Going to have to consider the feat a little longer.

Man I'm batting .1000 lately. Major sickness running through the family again. Sorry for delays.

No prob. ^_^

Work is insanely busy atm. Sorry for delays. I will try to get updates out as soon as I can but I've just barely been keeping up.

No worries, Keolin.

Stick the course, Keolin.
RL first, RP second. ^_^

A little something I'm doing...

Heh, cool.

Thank you! ^_^

Page 8 is up.

Merry Christmas!

Hurray! I think this is the second christmas we've had during this campaign.

Impressive. :)

Merry Christmas/holiday everyone!

I lost count of the pages I've done for Res Mira... ^^;

Hah, is the golem saying '0!' a reference to A Miracle of Science?

Nope, as a reference to binary. ;)

( Also, calling someone a 'zero' is a rather spiteful insult in my native language, but that's just a coincidental bonus. )

Then you should read A Miracle of Science if you haven't already. Linky

In case you were wondering, I'm not dead! Update inbound.

I hope to regain some consistency now that the holiday madness is over. phew

Glad to see you are still kicking, Keolin!

Alves are clearly not the same as Drow. ^_^

I don't usually make extensive of the Bluff skill, but it's a good fit for Droviz. ^_^ So, once I've got them focused on the game, you guys creep up behind them and coup de grace 'em, or do we want prisoners?
