Reign of Winter by GM Niles (Inactive)

Hey guys beginning tomorrow my posting will be very limited. I’m doing military drill for the next 7 days so I’ll be incommunicado for most daytime postings.

Understood. Have fun and be safe. We will be here when you get back.

Sure thing DM

Hey guys I am still around and able to post in the evenings, I'm waiting for you guys

Great :)

well i think we are waiting on your information about the pale tower: location / guards / number of witch there etc...

Nadya responds to Hassan's questions The Pale Tower lies almost 6 miles on the other side of Waldsby. There are probably two dozen guards, but who knows what other minions the witch has.

my last post, quite a few days ago.

Ok, after a little over a week of lockdown, things have openned up again. I'm catching up now, with a much needed post from Sven coming shortly thereafter.

great !

Gonna Fast forward in my next post unless you guys plan on doing anything else with Mierul.

I want to marr... I mean, Kill her!

Love at first sight? ;)

Hey, how are you all?

I’m DM’ing a Way of the Wicked game and I Need one more villain!
If you are interested, here are simple rules:

• You will start at level four.
• You will need to present your char concept and write up a background about your char.
• Why are you evil?
• What have you done to make you a well known evil-doer?

You can be Bad to the Bone, but most of the times, your success depends on you being able to pass unnoticed. Being evil for evil sake is something I am trying to avoid in this game. Why would you steal the lollipop from the child when you can kill its father? Destroy its family? Kill all his friends and let it to suffer, alone and afraid?

Every gaming group has norms of acceptable behavior whether they realize it or not. For example, graphic descriptions of torture are rarely welcome. Still, there may be a compelling reason why villains need to torture someone. And why shouldn’t you? You’re villains after all. But if this is allowed unchecked, it is very likely that lines will be crossed and that the campaign may degenerate into out-of-character arguments about what is acceptable. The solution is to allow the action but to keep the descriptions and details in the realm of a PG-13 movie.
A great example of PG-13 villainy comes from the most famous space opera of all time. The black clad villain about to interrogate the princess strides into her cell.
“And now, your highness,” he announces, “we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base…” The movie then cuts away with a close up of a fearsome floating torture implement sporting a cruel hypodermic needle.
The cut is the important lesson. Who knows what the villain did to the princess? Was she threatened, beaten, drugged or worse? Doubtless. But the movie doesn’t dwell on the specifics and neither should the game. Instead, roll an intimidation skill check. Then cut back “Her resistance to the mind probe is considerable,” our villain was forced to admit. Failure.
Even the greatest of dark lords have their bad days.to the villain emerging from the cell.

A fair warning: Powerbuilds are not encouraged.

You can create your crunch and present it, but you are not required to create an alias for now.
Stats your choice, no reroll:

• 25-point buy
• Focus and Foible

Races:
Core races are encouraged, if you want to play anything else, your background need to have to be really well made to support your choice.
Banned classes:

• Gunslinger
• Summoner
• Samurai
• any Playtest stuff
• Paladins

Anti-Paladin is allowed.
Alignment:
LE, you cannot be Neutral or Chaotic. If the class you want required one of those, you can assume the class will work with LE alignment.
Money: You will start with 2500gp.
The party consists for Four players:

• Johan Hale Inquisitor
• Eldred Crofter Urban Ranger
• Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa Wizard
• Fet the false-hearted Alchemist

It would be good if you create your char considering the party balance.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

already playing it IRL and having a blast with it (we are currently on book 2)

Going camping this weekend with the family so posting might be sparse.

Hey guys,

Sorry to say this but I'm gonna have to close this one down. Since last Friday there have been exactly three posts in gameplay...this is for a game that I advertised as 1/post per day minimum. That level of activity just won't keep me interested.

Good luck with your future games and hopefully we can game together again on these boards.

Regards,

Niles

dang sorry to hear that

(unless i am mistaken we were waiting to here if the fey would provide us with a description of the inside of the pale tower) or if he had no more info to move us one to the next day and our going over there

Well, sorry to hear that, but we were, as Merisiel said, waiting for any position from the DM. Since we asked the little fey some questions and they did not get answered, and Sven went outside, but no description was given to him cook any action.

Anyway, If you want to try it again, i'm up for it.

If not, I thank you for the opportunity. it was fun while lasted.

That does seem a little random, doesn't it? After the GM said he would be away for the weekend, posting slowed down. Since then, we were kind of waiting for the action to move forward.

Oh well, I guess it's already been marked as an inactive campaign. Strange.
