Ahh cool. just confused me for a second. When we get closer I'll opt for the 3rd book.
Oh, yes. My apologies for the typo. Thank you Kalt for book 1 and Feral for Book 2.
No problem, least I could do with you stepping in to keep the world spinning.
As to 'Rango', I almost asked earlier today how long it would be before someone came up with a shortened form of Ranginui - but I didn't have time to post before Sven did it. Wasn't 'Rango' a movie about a delusional chameleon in the Wild West?
How about Rangi? Rangu? Rang? DMR?
As to Leadership - I don't like it at all in RL games, and I think I'd like it less in PbP.
Good to know. I primarily ask about leadership not because I was expecting anyone to take it; rather, it's one of those things I hate have spontaneously "happen" in a campaign. Better to plan for that sort of thing.
Besides, the proper shortening would be Rangi
I don't do summon spells or use familiars, mainly to avoid all the extra typing/paperwork they create...So I'm ok without the leadership feat as well. XD
All right, Rangi it is, when we're not being formal.
Glad you liked the maps, it'll be fun to get to play on them, if it turns out to be workable for you.
Ahem.
Dear players, you are not forgotten. I am still doing frenzied bouts of reading to catch up.
Thanks for your patience!
~Rango
Thanks for checking in and reassuring us, Rangu!
yay!
So, you guys want to resurrect the old DM recruitment thread, or start a new one?
Would you be willing to do that? I'd like to get a GM in here soon.
Do you think Red is still interested?
Wow, first Sven shortens his name faster than I expected, and now you've turned him into a whipping boy in record time! I am truly impressed.
Initiation, man. Just gotta make sure he knows what he's getting into...
Motion of non-confidence noted.
Non-confidence? Who initiated that?!
... you done "reading" yet?
Yes, I believe I have enough to get the action started, although I'm don't have a full handle on all the characters yet.
Whomever is handling the loot sheet, can you give me a rought idea of current gold per character, after expenses?
Avora is here, but I'm dealing with some personal issues at the moment. A friend is losing his home in less than a week and is in panic mode, so I'm trying to help out (being in no position financially to carry him myself). I'll be here and checking in, just may be quiet for a little while.
Yahooo! Game on!
Edit: cross-posted with Avora - sorry to hear about your friend. Hope the situation resolves itself as well as possible, and that you're able to join us back here soon.
Thanks Avora for letting me know. I can GMPC you, although I saw other people have been handling that sort of thing.
Sorry to hear about your friends travails.
Woo, let's do this!
Avora - with our awesome new DM taking over, we'll be here when your RL settles down. :)
On scrolls, since it was brought up in spoilered text: the caster level of the scroll is set by the minimum caster level to make it, not your characters caster level (typically)
Remove Curse is a 3rd level cleric spell, so a minimum of a 5th level cleric with a caster level of 5 is required to scribe the spell. Unless specially crafted to be higher, scrolls default to the minimum caster level.
So if you managed to secure scroll of Miracle and made the wisdom check to cast it, it would be cast as a 17th level spell, no matter your CL.
There are some some special exceptions, but they are definitely getting into go obscure rules.
Rangutan - In our lead-up to getting rolling again, we never discussed handling of initiative. I think it's great that you roll for all combatants, and I'm wondering if you'd consider lumping the bad guys, or at least similar bad guys, rather than having them act on individual initiatives? That means a lot less waiting for a single person to post before you take the action of the next monster in the order. If you have a BBEG and a bunch of mooks, you could group them or break them up as you see fit.
What do you think? How about the rest o' youse?
I can lump, but I generally find that works against the PC's when NPCs synchronize attacks. I'm willing to go either way.
Let's see what the gang says. I'm not set on one approach either, but I know there's a general appreciation here for keeping the game moving, and lumping tends to do that.
I'd prefer the bad guys as well as the group being lumped together... as Sven said, momentum tends to suffer when everyone's waiting on one person repeatedly.
Welcome Rangi! I'm the slowest poster of all lately. Glad you're on board!
Keeping the game moving is best. Agreed!
FYI, I got put on probation at work about a week and a half ago, and have been in a bit of a fight to keep my job. Yikes! That's taken up a lot of my RL lately, long hours, early mornings, short lunches, etc... I'll be back with regularity as soon as I can.
But I will pop in as much as possible in the meantime.
I'm good with lumping similar foes together.
Oops, made a map last night, forgot to post link.
Added it to the top of my profile.
And it's a beautiful map too! Nice work.
... I should say I got the map from a free RPG map repository (whose name is escaping me, but I can fish up the link if anyone is interested). I don't have 1/10th the artistic talent to fashion something like that map :)
I didn't think you had lovingly crafted each pixel by hand - but you took the time to find a gorgeous background and put us on it, and I appreciate that.
An excellent metaphor for gaming, is it not?
I have played around with trying to make maps from scratch before; there are some lovely mapping communities out there with some decent tutorials. I have never found the focus to get very far, however.
Avora and Bugsby are up.
I'm going camping this weekend - leaving tomorrow around noon, will probably be back sometime Sunday. Won't have any access while I'm gone.
And I should tell y'all that I'm leaving next week for a few weeks of work travel. I'll still be able to post, but it will be less frequent. I'm gone until July 2 or so, then off to PaizoCon, then two weeks of vacation. So six weeks of unpredictability.
Have fun with the camping, Lana!
Ranginui - can you change the sharing settings on the map so we can move our tokens? I'm sure you know this, but if you set it so that anyone with the link can edit, then we can all edit it. Because we have the link, ya know?
Map is fixed; my apologies, many distractions in the past few days.
So I've mentioned this to Feral already, but I would prefer if others GMPC fellow players, not the DM. I will go ahead and do so if 24 hours have elapsed (I was going to do it for Bugsby, just hand't had the chance yet.)
Map now modified to include gridlines. I took the liberty of moving Kalt into striking range (the wolf only has 5' reach)
Looks right up your alley, Sven. That Aura of Excellence ability is cool, though the wording is a bit confusing. I'm less excited about swapping out detect evil for detect ki pool...but it does seem a good fit over all.
Yeah, I wouldn't have thought of the monk/paladin hybrid you've created, and then someone went and archetyped it. You're a trailblazer!
