Are people good with roll20.net for maps, or should i whip up a google doc?

Also, are you folks okay with me doing rolls for some stuff? I don't want to say "Roll a Kn: Arcana", then wait a day for everyone's rolls.

These will likely be for all knowledge rolls, initiatives, sense motives, and perception.

Just trying to speed through some of the parts so we can concentrate on fun dialog RP and murderdeathkills.

EndlessForms here.

I'm fine with roll20 and with you rolling things. I've GM'd quite a bit of PbP and do both things.

I think I'm going to go with my monk/paladin level 2.2 for this. So this game will push him up to level 3.

I'll get the stats up at some point today.

I'm fine with you rolling anything you need to for Tess, DM. I prefer google docs as I'm not crazy about roll20.

In fact this is not Falyf but Brom, took advantage of 1st level retraining. hope the web staff can change his name, so the real name appears in the header.

Still some edits to the sheet, will be up later today.

Are we 3 only? Just wondering.

Hey, sorry I'm late. I got busy. I will post in gameplay and will have my character sheet complete today.

You still around, DM?

You still around, DM?

He did warn us that we won't be officially starting until tomorrow.

Oh, I completely missed that! Thanks Faraz. Never mind then, lol.

Would you mind if I switch my PC to a gunslinger? Just got the chance to play a long term AP with this character, would be fabulous

Hi. I'm here :)

@Pete: Play what you want to play.

Thank you.

also, are we going with 4? makes no difference to me.

I'm fine with four but I might have someone I can invite if you don't mind.

I'm okay with four. I have my character sheet done except for an explanation of the special abilities. I'm sorry, it's been busy. My 3-year-old has been on one something fierce and I just kept forgetting to create everything. But Faraz can vouch that I'm a good poster.

no prob. why don't we aim to start tomorrow then.

btw..i'll be doing most of my stuff during the week.

But Faraz can vouch that I'm a good poster.

Yes, with me and Fruno on board (and if the guy I invited is interested) we should move pretty fast. I can usually post on weekends regularly but I have no problem taking the weekends off if you need to.

Weekends are tough for me because I'm usually doing gigs or pretending I'm a runner.

Okay, everything is loaded. Feel free to check it over. I'm ready to start whenever.

For part 2 my gunslinger is free, so will continue him then.

Are we ready?

I'm ready. I sent over one more player, he should be checking in soon once he gets his character ready. Level 2 sorcerer I think.

I'm ready.

Ah. i'll wait for the 5th player, then we are a go.

I think we have five - Faraz, Tessara, Frunobulax, Liriann, and Falyf. But I'm okay waiting for a 6th.

You could probably put the next post up without him as long as we're not jumping straight into combat. He can catch up when he gets back online.

Just to let everyone know (since it has come up in a game before): furs are an untyped bonus to Fort saves against cold, so they stack with the bonus cold-weather gear grants you.

The mysterious sorcerer is here to quickly check in, thanks for the invite. This will be this guy's first PbP adventure so I may need to update his profile. I'll do that tonight after my evening walk with the wife.

as an aside, you guys are on point with posting & moving this forward. thanks for being quick.

I won't always be this quick; I'm just doing a lot of writing and computer work today and this is a nice distraction.

Actually this week has been a little rough for me to get on and post. Hopefully I can post again before bed tonight and then tomorrow might be a bit more normal.

don't sweat it. the parallel game i'm running of SoI1 is halfway through introductions.

Please let me know if your character is ulfen or from irrisen.

ty

Not in the slightest. Although I do have credit for the first book of Reign of Winter on him.

Nope.

I'm not familiar enough with Golarian culture or geography to know what an Ulfen human is or where Irrisen is. It's a knowledge gap that I mean to fill at some point.

@Fruno: no sweat. I always thought Ulfen are like the Norse and Irrisen are Icelandic.

Both are probably cold a lot :)

@Fruno: pick up the Inner Sea World Guide. One of my favorite books.

I haven't had reason to buy a book yet. I have Hero Lab for making my characters though. I don't plan on running any campaigns.

going out of town for the weekend. pickup monday...for MURDER!

Once again....going out of town this weekend. Will be back Tuesday or Wednesday.

Time for me to feel like an idiot - I've already played this. It didn't hit me until the description of the group out with the practice dummies.

I'll be happy to finish the scenario, I just feel really stupid right now.

I don't remember how this went when I played it in role back in January - I think the gm may have glossed over a few things or we just got really lucky with finding Hjort.

I really feel bad that I may have taken the spot from someone that hasn't played this.

Lol, it's ok. I've played so many at this point I keep a list of what I have played/GM'd. Sometimes you can forget the details of the story if it's been a while.

Oh Fruno...:) don't sweat it. Stay in if you want, or magically teleport back to Absalom. Up to you.

I'd like to stay and help out the fight. I remember a little of what happened before. The bard in the party basically kept the whole barroom brawl from ever happening. And we had a magic-user that basically convinced one of the thugs from the very first encounter to lead us around.

Honestly, the whole thing went in a completely different direction than this particular session.

sorry i have been a bit scattered. i ran a comedy festival last weekend which took all of my energy. we should be finishing the scenario soon :)

Having GM'd this I know we're pretty much finished except some RP and story wrap-up. Are we still doing Part II? I level up after this so I'll be at level 3 for that. If we're keeping the same group it looks like we'll still be low tier, but I'm fine with that.

I'm game for the next one if you'll have me.

I'd be up for another game. Tess would still be level two.
