I should add that to the list! I was working on my Queen Chrysalis cosplay. It's not finished yet, but I feel it's in a good state right now. I was very aggressive of my goals for Memorial weekend and I feel I met them, though I still have a good day or two of sewing left. Then there are the props for it too. Those wings are going to likely be a day or two just on their own with how I plan to make them. I have to have it finished to pack up for con by June 12. I think I can do it ^^ Might even be able to pull of making two labor intensive costumes... but that's only a hope on the second one. I have a back up costume that I made a few years ago for that second one.
Lol, I kinda figured. I'm just waiting on Vanya or Ithylia to pipe up in the store so I can tailor it just little more for the 3 ladies walking in. Besides, the hunting party is just about wrapped up and I still need to get started with Cian, which I can only say is going to be hilarious.
This is not the first time my sorcerer has gone through this either. Hopefully Cian will live longer than Lysan did...
Honestly had to look that one up being as I'm not a Bronie myself lol. Looks like fun though. And what happened with Lysan, I'm kinda interested in this story lol.
He died fighting a creature further on in the book because my group took the back way in. For a ranged based sorcerer he did pretty well again a melee monster. Managed to cast defensively and avoid the AoO for a ranged attack before dying.
Impressive
Part of the reason I wasn't playing my ranger in PFS was to avoid issues. So, if I forget and say something about Halkale here, assume I am just crazy. Having two rangers in PbP games was not my intent.
I have 3 if you count my really slow homebrew with my friends.
Well you're doing good so far
And Eldert- I mean Aldern starts to finally strike back lol.
OH.
SHOTS FIRED!
So I had a thought occur to me, and it's based off something I've been seeing. How would you guys feel about rearranging the way we currently do combat?
What did you have in mind?
Using roll20.net
I like the sound of that. I'd like to hear what the others think too.
explain... :-)
I've never used it.
Okay, so what I'm thinking is when we get to combat, we can use roll20 to make the roles, we'll have maps and grids, you don't have to tell me where you're moving and all that yada yada. In my mind, it would go much faster, but it would require you to sign up for roll20. It's free, so there's no worries on that end, you'd just have to be able to use roll20 on your computer.
And by the way Cian, trap set and match *hits the floor laughing*
I'm perfectly fine with using roll20 ^^ their latest update to fix the dice generator and add character sheets is really nice. I've played around with the character sheets ^^
Anyway, Triel asked Vanya & Ithylia if they'd like to buy anything before they leave the smithy.
The downside for me is I can't log into anything but paizo.com at work. So instead of posting while at work, i'd have to wait until i got home.
Gotcha. That's why I figured I'd ask about it. Because everything together now is a really nice touch I have to say. So if the group as a whole says yes, which I think that's how's it looking, what you could do Artemis is you could go ahead and post combat when you got home and if we ended up waiting a day or two, we end up waiting a day or two possibly. It's something I've been a lot more of now though in PbP campaigns, so I figured I'd bring it up. Totally up to you guys in the end though, I'm fine with whatever.
Well, I am trying to figure out how that makes things faster? If I can't post until later that day and have to log into something else, not sure how that speeds up combat? Are we needing to speed up?
If Roll20 makes things easier to manage that's one thing, but I suspect speed is all about the posting frequency and I am not sure Roll20 will help.
I'll follow along with whatever the group wants. I have an account with Roll20, in fact, had a full GM account, but I think my year is over.
Google Docs work pretty well too for combat maps. Can you access those at work?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I can vouch for Google Docs; I use it all the time for my campaign maps.
Well it would help manage combat a lot better for sure on my end because character sheets are literally right there lol. But in seriousness, it would cut down on my look up times for monster/NPC attack status and attacks because as of now I have obviously Paizo up, but I've got to have your sheets up, different books for what I'm looking from in regards to creatures and trying to keep track on a document for health and statistics... And considering I'm now running a RotRL game on roll20, by the time we get to an encounter, everything will be ready to go. Which also cuts down on my prep time for maps and what ever else we'll end up needing. I do understand the aspect of logging into another site, but in my mind, there's a lot of stuff that could improve things at least on my end, which makes me feel that if I can make combat faster on my end, it could feel more comfortable and smooth for you guys.
Used google docs before, and it seems to work, never used roll20, but if it makes it easier for you I can do that too.
I'm also not sure if it'll work on my iPad.
I think, for it to work on your iPad, the gm has to be a supporter if not mentor. I think that's one of the paid features.
Which is why I'm a mentor status lol. And if it can work on my Surface RT, it'd work for the ipad lol
I am kinda feeling you'd rather have this on Roll20?
I'd like to have just combat on Roll20, yes lol
Well, I'm set up on roll20 now.
So couple of things. Firstly, it really is fun playing a douche-tool. It's like a stress relief lol. Secondly,I've got the feeling that the hunting party is about to be wrapped up here shortly, and I've got nothing for the ladies until they hit me up (by the way, you're doing perfectly fine so no worries), so that just leaves lover boy here to work with and then we can all look at getting back together as a group and move on for this day that has taken us about 3 months to finally work out lol.
As far as the combat Roll20 deal goes, I know that I've said my piece for sure, and a few of you seem indifferent to the idea, so go ahead and let me know for a yes/no vote unless you feel that we should talk it out more. We've got plenty of time before the next combat round anyways, as what I'm looking at next will possibly take the rest of this week to finish up anyways.
I'd prefer to not go to roll20. Right now, my life is hectic to some degree and being able to post at work is a blessing.
I've never used Roll20 before, so we would just be using it when there is combat right? Either way, roll 20 works for me.
I tried using roll20 to make a campaign, but nothing worked, so I'm voting no.
I say no. I can access Paizo from work and that is a big plus for me :-)
Honestly, I think Google Docs would be a more reasonable option. It's quite flexible with how you can arrange the maps, and I'm certain it can be more easily accessed from anywhere.
Google docs makes me wish I had a real computer. :(
Sorry on no lover boy posts yet.
Well by the looks of it, I'm seeing 5-1 for not using roll20. I'll just stick with what we got for right now. It's not that I'm opposed to Google Docs, it's just that I have absolutely no need for two different mass cloud storages that warrant me for having to manage two at the same time (I run a lot of stuff out of OneDrive as is), and since I'm not gonna be able to use Roll20 to save me a lot of time, trying to manage 2 cloud servers certainly is not in my cards as of now.
The editable by multiple people online at the same time draw of google docs also works with Onedrive using Excel Online. My friends and I use it for our yearly football tournament. I always set it up because I too use Onedrive and live deep in the Microsoft world. I think the only thing I am missing is an Xbox of some kind.
ewww xbox
Most people don't know it though because they're still too caught up in the whole NSA bs. Because yea, the NSA thinks you're a terrorist for uploading so many cat pictures. .. whatever lol. Anyways, that's one reason I like OneDrive because everyone can edit things easily. They just need basic image editing software available on it lol. And it doesn't work on either Xbox Jack. Yet lmao
If I can download an app for my tablet, I am fine with using onedrive or whatever. I still use an @msn.com email address.
You don't even need an app honestly. The app just allows for direct and automatic upload. Just go to onedrive.com and log in. Microsoft really simplified their new system, it's stupid simple to be honest
It really now works almost exactly like google docs and google drive does.
I know I've been silent the past few days. Work dropped some very stressful and major bombs on me monday and I've been reeling from those along with trying to take care of other non-work related things.
I'm trying to sort through some work things, rush finish things because I travel, again, monday and taking care of other life-related things. All of this work insanity is taking a toll on me.
I'm still here, and I'll try to get a post up soon.
Believe me, you're fine. I'd be the last person allowed to try and even think about getting on you for that. Besides, I'm still waiting to see how Cian reacts to a half naked woman literally throwing herself at him lol
Speaking of Cian, everything doing okay man?
I just back from a week+ vacation; I tried to keep up via smart phone :) Paris. Normandy. Cologne.
