Take all the time you need. Also, feel free to delete the dots. They wills till work and won't clutter the gameplay thread.
Do you want to start with a mission in hand or do you want to roleplay getting it?
Let's roleplay it. I need a little practice playing both characters interacting. Perhaps they could get a message to meet at the public baths at the Pleasure Salon of Calistria, and get their assignment in the nude!
Flori was once a seamstress there, so she knows some of the people there. She even tried her hand at being a courtesan, but found that she preferred adventuring.
Or, a dive bar in the Docks would also do the job. I should give adequate descriptions of them both, and Flori's cat, Shadow.
I'm going to put some real effort into this, but it could be a little clunky at first, getting established and getting a feel for things.
First job will be fairly straight forward, just to iron the kinks and clunkiness out (I know exactly what you mean).
I'll get it up tomorrow, that ok with you?
The classic is meeting up in a tavern...
OK.
First post is up!
I've got them done, except for a few deets. Should be completed soon.
What did you think of the first post?
It's fine.
BTW, I'm having fun already. I hope to flesh out the characters as we go on, and get into a rhythm that will entertain us both. It should be fun for you and me and whoever else reads the thread.
I GMed this thread. It was fun because the characters were such characters. I hope to improve in time.
Anything more I can do to make this more fun? Do you want more comedy? More interaction from NPCs? More description?
I'm having a blast so far. I think it's all good. We'll get rolling.
Forum has been buggyy today. Don't worry I'll use that Natural 20 Bluff roll.
She's a sultry thing, isn't she? Even a dwarf can't resist her charms! lol!
I wonder who was behind the screen...
I wonder who was behind the screen...
Me, too!
Still on the first page, and I'm already biting my nails! I'm liking these two already. :)
By the way, kudos on having very well laid out character sheets. Makes my job much easier.
I'm constantly looking stuff up on them. I can't remember anything! lol
Killing a cop, first thing. I dunno... Off to a precipitous start, here.
Hopefully, they're evil jerks and everyone hates them. It might be seen as justice.
Lefty's not too wise, and Flori likes a straight up fight. So do I. Intrigue is fun, but back in the day, you got xp for killin' things!
I don't use XP, I find plot related leveling better. But to be fair they did just bust in the place. Although, they would have used non-lethal damage on you, if you hadn't escalated.
But wow, that spell packs a punch, even at your level!
The first fight or two with a new player is always tough, until you manage to figure out how tough they are. So forgive the learning curve. I do actually make good combats, once I get a feel for the player.
Yeah, this one's tough. We had different ideas of what was going on.
I also forgot we had a medium cat with us.
we'll retcon it. I'll alter the map and re-post.
It's all good. It's easy to get crossed up in a PbP. Patience and cooperation make the game fun (and I'm having fun!).
I should have used a little description to liven up the melee, but it was a lot of stuff for one post. Just wanted to make it easy to keep track.
No problem. Not sure when I'll get to post. I need to have my stats for fights and my parents are visiting this weekend. Sunday evening at latest, sorry!
No prob.
This game just took an awesome turn.
Gotta dilute our guilt somehow! lol
I never expected this game to go where it's gone. I thought they'd be burglarizing for a good cause.
Well, who's to say they won't, someday? They'll be too well-known to easily be low profile.
I blame Flori. She gets Lefty to do things hastily.
I think it's their chaotic nature. In another life, they'd be junkies driving across the country, robbing pharmacies.
Not THAT well known. You've only been seen in passing by Puddles folks. Not exactly movers and shakers. Besides Absalom is a big place and you chose street fight.
Hope you are enjoying it anyway?
I love it. I didn't know Flori would be such a leader. I don't usually play leaders.
Lefty's still really low power for his class. I took 4 levels of wiz because I think prestige classes should require 5 levels. Call me old school.
Give him a few more levels, and he'll be much better at making a difference.
The curse is broken!
Well, just the first little adventure, to get the kinks out. What do you think? Thoughts on the future? Suggestions, changes?
I'm happy with it. Things were tense, but it all worked out.
That's it? No other comments?
1-10 (10 being best) what would you rate it? What do you want roe or, what less of?
I loved it all. 10! I can see these 2 getting into all kinds of adventures. I like that I didn't know what to expect, or knew how my own characters would act. I think it's gone very well. I'd play these 2 anywhere.
Do you want to leap into the next adventure now or do you need some RL time?
I'm good. We can start again tomorrow. They'll be buying wands of CLW (some things are just required) and take a few days to relax and enjoy the city. I know they didn't level, but it feels like it.
Do you want to level? I planned on having you level after each adventure but I wasn't sure if this one was intense enough?
Feel free to go shopping and such. Loot was pretty minor this time but you'll be dealing with fancier folks this time around....
It's been a heady 3 weeks of play. 6th level would be a pretty big jump in power. Lefty would get 3rd level spells, and Flori would get 2 attacks/round. I like the idea, but you pace it how you think it would work best. You know what's next. I'd like to play them to 20th, if possible. I'm really having fun with this.
Glad you are having fun with it. I do like how tense it got. Some high stakes. I DID have a plotline were you refused to back down and got thrown in jail...
Anyway,
Level them up!
But be warned, I'll just make the baddies more potent...
OK? LOL!
Are you getting new Docks apartments or not?
Yes. They'll split a flathouse (150 gp). They can upgrade.
Left gets 2 spells free (Fly. Wind Wall), adds 3 more (Fireball, Haste, Lightning Bolt)
cost 270 gp
1 more.
90 gp
Fly is a useful spell!
It sure is.
That fight wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be....Sorry.
Don't be. If they weren't using that spell they'd be in over their heads. I like pulling a fast one on the baddies now and then.
