Good luck.


Are you sure you want to do that?

My Father passed away on Saturday. It was expected and he was in a hospice his last few days.

No updates for the coming week I'm afraid.

I'm not dropping out as these games are one of my great pleasures.

I'll be taking my family on a roadtrip over the next couple days. I'll be back on Wednesday. Feel free to bot me.


Are you sure you want to do that?

I thought it best to ask now. How many of you will be around during the Christmas break? Should we start again after New year?

I'm fine either way. I will be home and can run the games, but if some of you are busy with families and travel it might be best to take a longer break.

My schedule won't be changing much regardless, I still have to work, so I'm good with whatever.

I'll be around. Family is coming here instead of us going to visit family.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Thanks for everyone's kind thoughts.

We will pick up on Monday, but I think it will be a leisurely week as regards posting. If you're taking a day or two off then don't worry about posting.

I will probably be called away a few times myself.

First, let me offer my belated sympathies, DBH.
I dragged my heels on posting because I always feel awkward in such delicate situations, never sure what to say.

Second, starting back up on Monday works for me.


Are you sure you want to do that?

No problem. I always find it hard to know what to say as well.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Sorry, I have to go out tonight and be social. No update.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Almost forgot until family reminded what day it is. No update as we're staying up to make sure this year is gone.

Happy New year to everyone. Hopefully things improve a touch in the coming year for everyone.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Due to my advanced age and lack of energy there is no update tonight.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Too ill to update sorry. Nothing serious but its knocked me on my back. Not Covid. :)


Are you sure you want to do that?

And again sorry.

So a heavy crossbow takes a full-round action to reload. Is it possible to split that over two rounds, i.e. fire>start reload>end of turn 1>finish reload>fire again>end of turn 2?

Sorry for my slow pace. Work is busy, we have Covid case in the househould, and the kids are out of school until Wednesday. I'm mentally exhausted. I will try and catch up by mid-week.


Are you sure you want to do that?

@Zelera. Sadly no. One round to fire. Another round to reload. Take Rapid reload if you want to fire a heavy crossbow every round.

That's what I figured so no biggie.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Busy tonight so no update sorry.


Are you sure you want to do that?

I'm out of town at the moment, so no update sorry.

Should have settled down by tomorrow.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Still away from home so no update again I'm sorry.


Are you sure you want to do that?

I am looking after my Mothers house while she is away on holiday, and running around doing my own chores. So things may be a little erratic for the next two weeks until I'm home full-time.

Mum is staying down the Marlborough sounds with a friend at her cottage. It's a beautiful area and I've been there myself so I'm glad Mum is having a nice peaceful break.


Are you sure you want to do that?

It is Waitangi day here in New Zealand. A public holiday, having a family get together and so no update tonight sorry.

The rest of the week looks good for regular posting though.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Got home late so no update. :)


Are you sure you want to do that?

Sorry about yesterday, I was at my place and couldn't log on?

Tonight I'm at my Mothers but packing up to return home so no update. I can log in here, maybe Paizo doesn't let you be logged on in two different computers?

Normal service resumes next week.

Naw, it lets you, I have three or four different active login ins so that's not the problem. Try cleaning out cookies and cache and see if that fixes it. A few people had to do that recently.

Wow. Wasn't expecting to roll that good for something so offhand.

I was trying to think of something I could contribute here when I suddenly thought of one of my best friends who always plays gunslinger characters in our gaming groups. In a situation like this, he'd let the party face do the talking while keeping his hand near his gun for emphasis. I figured I'd take a page from his playbook, and here we are.

I would normally do the same, but 25 is one of those "magic numbers" for Diplomacy, and I could automatically tilt Zelera over without a roll, sooo... :)

So did we already find out what happened to the people? I thought we had not.

We just suspect that the disappearance of the people of Varnhold has something to do with the cyclops tracks.

Marten is implying that the centaur men were the hides that we saw on the tanning rack back at Varnhold.

Oh, got ya. That's ind of what I suspected too.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Got home late and tired. No update sorry.


Are you sure you want to do that?

No update due to bad health. (Not Covid).


Are you sure you want to do that?

Went to the Doctor today. It seems the anti-inflammatory's I take to deal with my many aches and pains have been ripping through my stomach lining.

Giving me a great deal of Acid-reflux. Which is very painful and constant.

She's given me something to fix my stomach lining, and changed my anti-inflammatory's. Seems to be working as I'm not in pain for the first time in week.

Resting today and regaining energy, sleeping has been difficult when you keep burping up acid in the night to go with the abdominal pain.

So things are hopefully back to normal Monday.

She also booked me in for my booster shot tomorrow when I told her I couldn't get the system to work for me. Very good doctor!

Yikes. While I'm sorry to hear that you've had to deal with such pain, I'm very glad that you're getting it taken care of.
I'm happy that you're starting to feel better.

Take your time and enjoy getting some rest.

NK is running out of spells. Resting would be a good idea for him before we encounter an ancient evil.


Are you sure you want to do that?

No update tonight due to lack of time.

Since you are travelling and on the way to a terrible fate now seems a good time to go to 9th level.

You have plenty of time to rest and learn your new spells ETC.


Male Human Paladin (Mind Sword) 10 | 24/94 HP | AC 25 T 12 FF 25 | Fort +13 Ref +7 Will +12 | Initiative +0 | Perception +5, Sense Motive +14 | Mind Arsenal 7/7 | Smite Evil 4/4 | Summon Mount 2/2 | Recruits

This raises the question of how Marten's Recruits level up.

In "normal" XP-based gameplay, Recruits gain XP simply by generating a fraction of their PC leader's XP earned. (It's not taken from the PC, they just get a small amount automatically.) BUT, this implies that ONLY the Recruit currently adventuring with you gains XP.

The amount that Recruits gain is enough that they will typically level up when the leader does. They actually get a little more, proportionately, but their level is capped relative to the leader.

In milestone gameplay, the easiest way to handle it is just to say that when you level up, your current Recruit also levels up.

HOWEVER, this creates the problem that you can only level up your Recruits by cycling through them as you adventure, and they will rapidly fall behind, to the point where they can't go adventuring because they'll be killed instantly.

So... what do you want to do with 'em? I'll level up Tessara because she's with Marten right now, but it leaves open the question of whether we want to also level up Marten's other followers or not.

Are you sure you want to do that?

As they are never going to have a major effect on things I'll say level them all up at the same time.

They will always be some levels behind you though?

Yeah, Recruits must always be at least four levels below, so they will always be sidekick-y. They can fill kingdom management roles though!

Remember if your HP roll is low you can take the average instead.

Got completely sidetracked yesterday and did not get my level up done. I will work on it this evening after work. It will fortunately be a pretty easy one.


Are you sure you want to do that?

Niadroub is back Monday so we'll pick up then.

Hey, no I'm still here. Maybe thinking of someone else? I haven't been anywhere. I've been trying to make some decisions about levelling up. Speaking of which:

Arcanist 9

New exploit: Familiar
