RD's Citadel of Flame (Inactive)

Game Master Rene Duquesnoy

This is where we discuss stuff.

Am I doing this right?

No matter what, Rene -- you're doing it wrong. ;-)

It's fairly standard convention to use regular text for in character actions in the Gameplay thread. Blue is OOC commentary. Bold is in character talking. And Italics are used for in character thoughts.
There is a helpful 'how to format your text' thing below the box to write a post.

And I am so used to the standard formating that changing it up will really mess with my head...

i'm okay with that.

Opal, did you get to level 2?

No. :(
We only got through the first two scenarios. So I am still level one.

At least you have your wand of CLW...

BTW group,

Copy and paste this to Race -

"HP /, [ooc]Init +[ooc], AC: , T: , FF: ,"

And this to Class -
"[ooc]F: +, R: +, W: +[ooc] Perception + <Darkvission 60ft>, [ooc]CMD: 10[ooc], Gender Race Class breakdown"

Remember to add the / in the second [ooc]'s to make them appear blue, which just helps stats to stand out.

This will help Rene out a ton when she needs to make saves and checks for us

Thanks Octavius. That is a good thing to have so I don't have to scroll through stuff when making checks.

What is the best way to get faction missions to everyone?

I think copying the text into a PM is easiest.

didn't realize I was in. I will post tonight when I get off work, if I still have power with the massive storm coming though.

Llathander: Which PC is your listed in the other thread?

Also, I assume we are playing tier 1-2?

His name was mispelled as Hathander.

cool. thx

Totally new at this stuff, so my apologies in advance.

How do I roll a d20 check?

Signed, sheepish noob.

Below where you type in your post, there's a "How to format your text" line with a button, which'll show a bunch of the forum commands. For instance, to make a d20 roll, you'd type [dice]1d20[!/dice] (remove the exclamation mark)

Many thanks, Zefeni. (Reading is a skill -- need to pick that one up. LOL)

Are you going give Orryn a picture or leave him to be a faceless name?

The script doesn't give me the option to add an image. It looks as though I'd have to delete and re-add to do so.

(Told ya I was a sheepish noob at this PBP thing... LOL!)

Go to My Account, Go to the big box that says Pathfinder Society, click the words and then you will see a list of characters. Edit and then Click character image and you have to click the box of which one you wish to be. It took me forever to figure this out...

Holy crap, that has to be the most convoluted...

But it worked. Thanks a bunch! :-D

Yes, actually accessing yor PFS info is way too dificult.

I was out yesterday sick (cough borderlands 2 cough).

Will start

I was out yesterday sick (cough borderlands 2 cough).

Can't make it in today -- I have a virtual illness. ;-)

Hmm, it seems that I never wrote down that free set of clothes we get at character creation. I’m only wearing a breastplate. :/

GM, Can I put down a Hot Weather Outfit as my starting set? Otherwise I guess I will buy some too.

you can purchase it for 8 GP

I know you said Sedeq has a slaver market, is it only one type of race or is it many? How do they treat them? Could I see the conditions of slaves, etc?

There are many races, and the more 'exotic' slaves are treated much better and cost a lot more. The most common slave (human) are treated in a variety of ways. The dirty thin ones are treated poorly, the strong or pretty ones are treated a little better, but not well.

Opal: If you want the clothing, go ahead; if not, you should be okay without it due to the wand of endure elements I picked up. Each charge lasts 24 hrs.

Ok, I won’t bother. But I guess that means I should memorize something different for today, as I was thinking of Endure Elements.

Are slaves kidnapped or is it Indentured servant?

You cannot tell.

GM, I will have Shield of Faith as my Domain spell today instead of the Endure Elements I have marked on my sheet.

cool.

I'm going to be away for the weekend, over in Sydney for the Risen Rune convention, so I'll be mostly without posting capabilities from the 27th-2nd. If you could GMPC Zefeni for that period, so as to keep things moving, that'd be excellent.

Zefeni, Llathander, Dex, Opal, Octavius, Orryn, because if your name starts with 'O', you're in back!

LOL :-)

Also, I'm good with that order.

Would it make sense that, during combat, after the baddies go (because they are on same initiative), all of the PCs get to go in any order so people aren't waiting a while?

I usually play that people can post in any order, but that their actions resolve in initiative order. Then people don’t need to wait for others to post. I like that method, but what you suggest can work too.

Good idea Opal. Things may get clunky if 2 people are doing things that conflict (both moving to the same square), but I like the idea. Other opinions?

What ever you think is best. BTW Zefeni Jedaltu said he would be out of town this weekend, so I believe he said post for him.

Righto. Forgot about that. Hard juggling 4 PFS games in 1 week.

Don't worry about it. You're doing a great job.

Orryn, your lance on a charge should deal 2d6+2.

It's held one-handed (since I'm mounted, so I can use a shield), meaning the STR modifier isn't doubled; but you're quite correct that the lance itself deals double damage when used from the back of a charging mount. No going back in time, though -- my bad, I forgot that.

Actually, all of it is doubled. I play a Paladin who specializes in Mounted combat and every time I have charged with it, the smite, magic, str has been doubled. So your +1 str is doubled too when you charge with a lance.

Should I jump to the front rank until Zefini returns? I don't want to step on any toes, but at the same time I would like to get the exploration moving. What does everyone else think?

Don't care. Just someone, anyone, open the door!

This.

You know I had said earlier that I would open the doors. Ah, well. Anyways

You did (though I think that was the first door, before the bridge between the two sections). But no worries -- it's all good. We're moving again. :-)

I will be out of town from Friday to Monday. Please play my character in the most tactical way possible.

no problem. I don't think much action is going to happen over the weekend.

Hello
(and sorry for the delay). This is the recruiting thread for a spot in my PbP Citadel of Flame game.

I believe the group includes:
Octavius -------- Wizard 2
Opal Moonstone -- Cleric of Iomedae 1
Valanyennen ----- Rogue 1
Zefendi --------- Fighter 1
Hathander ------- Paladin of Sarenrae 1

There is 1 spot left, that I'm giving to Rathunde.

We will be using this thread for more pre-game stuff and for me to answer any questions.

Be gentle. This is my first PbP game :)

I am glad; I look forward to this.

now i gotta figure out how to add you to the campaign.

Once we post in the Game play, we are auto added. Feel free to look over my sheet, and PM with any questions. I have a shirt reroll, I can send you a pick if you need it of me wearing it.

Wishing you guys all the luck!!

@Octavius: I trust you :)

Hey all -- I am the adore-mentioned "1 spot left," so I'm more than willing to adapt. Looks like the party is well-balanced, so without needing to fill in a particular hole I am looking toward complementary PCs.

I have a level 1 Witch and a level 2 Sorcerer made, and a host of other PCs I can put together with no issues. I would enjoy playing any of them, so no worries there. Any preference from the rest of the party?

@thunderspirit, What about your Halfling Fighter/Druid? I would like to see that in action.

GM, Since this is your first PBP, do you have an idea of the posting speed you are able to run at? Or are asking us to run at? I like things to move along in a PBP, so I would like to know your expectations before we start.

Oh, and I do not have a shirt reroll. I can send you a picture if you like. ;)

@Opal: I'm pretty good at checking the boards. Hopefully, I can post every hour or so during the day. (I'm in CST btw). Night time & weekends are much more infrequent.

I'm expecting the players to check the boards once in the AM and once in the afternoon during the week. If it is your initiative, and it goes a day, you spend it organizing your bag (read: lose your turn). I'll also make the baddies go on the same initiative of whatever the average is. If someone is out on holiday or something, we can work around it.

I realize it is hard to immerse yourself in roleplaying your character via a forum. I do love flavor, and hope that people just don't wait around until their turn to swing an axe.

Keep the suggestions & questions coming.

Ooh -- I forgot about Orryn Quattlebaum, Death From Above!

I think I have enough GM chronicles to make him level 2 (level 3 would allow him to wear something besides a loin cloth, LOL), so consider him a potential part of the mix.

Greetings all. I have a wide range of time when I can access the forums, due to having web access at work. However, I'm in NZ, so looking at the forums during the CST AM is unlikely (I have found that there's this thing called sleep which seems strangely necessary to function).

That said, looking forward to playing this awesome scenario with all you fine people.

I find it saves time for the GM to roll Initiative for everyone, group Perception checks, and Saves when needed. Being able to post out of order when your action does not depend on anyone else’s action also helps to move things along.

This. +1.

great idea. I'll roll that stuff.

My character sheet has been updated. I am ready to go.

Hey guys, really glad to be aboard. I will have to swap this character out for another rogue ... a long dead PBP finally awoke and this guy was committed to it so I'll have an identical character up by the end of day, just different PFS#, picture, etc.

I'm ok with the GM rolling for things to keep them moving and have found that that can work very well in the past.

You don't need to make an identical character, you can make something new. Play whatever you want.

FYI..I'm waiting on all 6 characters to be set & post in the gameplay thread before beginning this.

I think I'll play my halfling Ftr/Drd, if that's okay with everyone.

I will fill out his deets this evening and post in the Gameplay thread.

do it!

So if I were to go urban ranger with an archery focus noone would mind?

Play what you want :)

What Rene said. A good time playing is the most important thing. :-)

Hey, now that I see you're running PBP this way, I'll be spamming your future recruiting threads. Welcome to the funhouse!

hooray
