Game Master Dreaming Warforged

I'm a big fan of stacked spell books and open spell slots.

I also like scrolls.

And, with that much cash, permanency is an option as well.

That's the problem with these high-level characters...options get almost infinite and its hard to know what the best plan for anything is!

I think I am dumping the ring and getting scrolls on scrolls.

Works for me.

If we can trace the wyverns or the trolls, we might be able to strike them as a group?

Similarly, perhaps the great army of pitax might be less effective without its general?

There's no doubt we should strike at select targets like monsters and leaders.

The benefit, Oberlin, of being high-level is we have the ability to strike hard and fast. I wouldn't worry about the 'best' solution, let's play to our strengths.

That could work. However, the book emphasizes the 'army vs army' encounters. I would rather we play using this approach or not at all, but I would rather not try an in between, as your opponents do not have these options. That being said, the army approach allows the PCs action to add some modifiers. Just keep in mind your armies will need commanding.

Do we agree to focus on the armies and keep PCs actions as modifiers, or do you guys prefer the other way around?

You know, I want to try the "...armies and keep PCs' actions as modifiers" bit.

What the hey, you know? I've no idea what that entails and am curious as to how it plays out. Sounds interesting.

But if the majority want to roll the other way then that's cool too. I'm game for either way but my first choice would be focusing on the armies bit.

I'm happy to play it that way. I just worry with sub-systems that I'll make a dumb mistake and get everyone killed.

I'll be on your side. :)

I'm fine with that, I was under the impression we didn't have the armies defined and the stat sheets for them with the kingdom-building being hand-waved.

I don't have a preference myself.

Does anyone have an idea of a good offer, or should we just let it go. I admit, I'm drawing a blank.

If no one has ideas, she'll eventually put something on the table ;)

Hey, Kriger has a platinum bar? Would that be sufficient?

I was thinking less "Kriger's platinum bar" and more "Kriger," but we could try it your way. :)

Lol! They'd have to give up their kingdom for Kriger. He's pretty much priceless. ;)

And here I was expecting a comeback where "Kriger's platinum bar" was a euphemism.

No wonder Kriger is angry all the time, carrying around a platinum prosthesis. I'm sorry for your accident, but a platinum 'bar' should get all the ladies.

Lol! Okay, THAT DOES IT! That'll be enough out of you two ne'er-do-wells! All this smorgensshaborgen talk has now been disallowed! DISALLOWED! I'm sorry that had to get ugly but sometimes the foot just has to be put down. Especially when it's falling asleep because it's in a position it doesn't like. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, stinging, stinging, stinging,... DISALLOWED!!! *he reiterates demandingly commandingly mandatorily and anything else that ends in -ly that sounds boss, grumbling as he's forced to get up and shake his foot back awake*

Lol!

You could enchant it...

Sorry for not posting much lately.

I am waiting for a new laptop and I broke a finger on Monday, so posting on the phone is difficult as well.

I will get back to proper frequency once the new laptop arrives.

Thanks for the heads up.

You could have a platinum finger. They're all the rage.

Been busy all week, will catch up tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,

I've decided to take an extended break from the boards. I'm not yet sure where this will lead. I will recontact you if I restart this game.

I want to thank you very much for all these years of great fun creating this adventure. It has been quite a ride, but I need the break. I hope you understand.

All the very best,

DW

Aw, dude, we're just playing make believe, don't sweat it.

It has been quite a ride!

No worries, DW! Any time you might feel the spark again, drop a note. As always, real life comes first and we all understand that. :)

No worries, bud. It's been a blast. If you do ever decide to pick this back up, Kriger will be ready... ready to use Ovinrbaane! The Enemy of all Enemies! Heck yeah! :)

Be good!

Hack yeah!

Fixed that for you!

No worries, it's been fun. Let us know when you're ready to come back.

I get it. Life has been super crazy and busy! Kids/Job/Covid = chaos.

Take care, rest up, catch you on the other side!

HA! Man I should've thought of that one. Good one. :)
