Discussion thread for group 2

Gavriil
Agrona
Brem
Xichikitte
Blake

Please leave this thread for these people. I'll be posting OoC comments and information here, and also this is the place for you to ask questions or make comments on the game.

Blake reporting for duty. I have to get everything added to his profile, but I should be ready soon. Hi everybody!

Gavriil here. Let's get this show on the road!

Agrona here ready to demonstrate to you all that yes the witch is tough as hell...

"I am Qui."

Victasys 25 point female Inquisitor.
Thank you.

Let's get this party started.

Hello Blake, Agrona, and Gavriil. I hope that you are doing well.

I will be ready for this journey momentarily.

Oh, hello Xichikitte and Quicaryn! You came in while I was not looking!

Wow.... More orcs than you can shake a stick at.

I like you, Gavriil.

You will be last to be eaten.

;-)

That's... oddly comforting, Big Guy.

Face it dandy, your doomed to living with savages!

I'm sure you all will be perfectly civilized compared to some of the people I've worked with.

Smiling, Qui gives Gavriil a knowing wink.

Gavriil winks back at Qui. "It's always the quiet ones, my dear."

Well the first group that is all here.

Okay. I have a few things I want to agree on before we truly start.

First off, a few people in this group are not a hundred percent done with their character. Can you please have this done before the weekend?

Second. Posting rules. I'm not going to enforce a strict posting order, but please try to watch that everyone gets to do their part. Different timezones, jobs, real life there are many reasons people might not respond for a few hours, maybe a day, and nothing demotivates like coming back after sleeping and finding a hundred posts you need to go through.

Third. Conversely, don't let other players wait for no reasons. Of course real life comes first, but it takes a few seconds to send a pm to me, and I'll post some my other contact details at the end of this post.

Now as some of you know, Kingmaker is an adventure path, and like the other adventure paths has 6 books detailing an adventure designed to take you from level 1 through to well above level 15. But unlike the other adventure paths, this isn't just about killing the monsters, looting the treasure, and leveling....

Kingmaker lets your character taste of true power. The power of governing a kingdom. And not just any kingdom, but a kingdom, you as a group will build up yourself, from a tiny little hamlet to a sprawling realm containing tens or even hundreds of thousands of inhabitants.

This new power comes with new dangers though. Where normal adventures deal with the occasional orc band or dragon, you will have to deal with invading armies, rebellion, betrayal from within and without.
________________________________________________________________

I will make a separate post detailing the kingdom building rules later. As said earlier I will use the rules from ultimate campaign instead of those from Kingmaker. The differences are relatively small, but it is more balanced and more expansive. For those of you unfamiliar with the rules. kingdom rules

A few rules I want to point out you might want to consider.

1) As you've seen on the character sheets I send you when your character was completed I use numerical alignment, meaning that I track your character's moral on a scale. Once you cross a border I will enforce an alignment change.

2) I use two optional rules from the kingdom building list. One is from deities and holy sites. Holy sites give bonus based on their alignment. And the other rule is the leadership role skills rule. Both can be found in the link above.

That was it from me for now. Any questions, please ask them here. If you wish to ask in private PM me, or use the options below:

Skype: katataban

I must have missed this. I understand a moral scale but I did not receive the character sheet.

Thank you,

Sorry. The character sheet was posted, but forgot to send the link. it's in your pm inbox

All of this sounds pretty good to me. Looking forward to playing with you all!

Ok Gameplay thread is opened. Your characters are in Restov. A city in the south of Brevoy. The caravan will leave within the hour.

game thread

I'm more than happy to continue the introductions RP'ing, but IMO we've hit the critical mass necessary to continue on to the next part of the adventure.

This is not a request to arrive in Oleg, just a message that I'm ready whenever everyone else is.

Wasn't able to get on last night, so I have a bunch of posts to catch up on (You guys are serious!). I'll try to get myself injected some more this morning.

Wow. Almost constant updates all day yesterday. Today everyone seems to have developed a Real Life to attend to.

This group really runs hot and cold. :-)

Weekends are always going to be spotty for me.

Sorry for the silence, this week took a bizarre turn. I should be around considerably more going forward.

Hey, sorry for the late notice, but I'm going to be out of town for a theater festival the next few days and my time is going to be very limited (plus the wifi in my hotel is butt) So my posting may be slim to none. I'll be right back into the swing of things this weekend, though.

Ok, it took me a little longer than expected, but I'm back.

Unfortunately do to an emergency at work, I will not be able to be on the boards today, I'll catch up on everything tomorrow.

Sorry for the long wait, I was stuck off site all weekend with very little net. I'll let the discussion go on unless there are questions for me.

Please pardon my limited responses this week.
At a conference in Vegas.

I'm afraid if I post it might be a bit "off kilter" or unintelligible.

I'll give my best when I can........

I think we are ready for sunrise and meeting our new "friends" whenever katataban is ready.

Unless we want to wait for Qui to free up in RL. Which I'm okay with if the group wants to do that.

I am back and recovering...

Welcome back, Qui.

Thank you yet (un)fortunately I missed nothing...

Should we expect more, less or similar posting lapses for this PbP path? While I want to experience the King Maker Adventure Path I want to experience it more often.

Thank you,

I'm close to giving up on this. Is anyone else still paying attention?

I'm still here. I check it every day, but nothing's really happening.

Can someone cast CLW or at least Stabilize on this adventure?

I fear it's bleeding out.

Bowing humbly,
"I bid you all adieu."
