Sariniya's Curse - Group 1 (Inactive)

Game Master hiiamtom

Ok, we have our first group:

Gaming Ranger as Anathaym (pronounced AN-uh-thaim)
scranford as Kara (phonetic, CAR-uh)
cirle as Mju (pronounced like Mew)
sable as Zamothis (pronounced Zam-OH-this, where "this" is like in "thistle")

No questions yet. Been going over the rules seems like a nice system with a real gritty/ deadly/ unforgiving feel. Looks like it will be a lot of fun.

I have had a great time with it, I think it allows more heroism than most "gritty" systems and while I have had players go down I've actually had no deaths. Then again they never had a dragon hunt or anything.

I like it! I really look forward to seeing how it plays.

Well, from days of playing an earlier iteration of this system (Elric/Stormbringer/Hawkmoon) I can you tell you that you don't want to fight things that are big (due to their damage bonuses) and lots of things at once (as you quickly run out of parries/dodges).

All of that is still very true. Large groups and creatures take preparation and strategy above and beyond tactics once in combat... most of the time. There are rules for skirmishes with large groups to make it easy for heroes to win against a horde.

Your action points on your character sheet are used to both attack and defend, and ganging up on people is the easiest way to hit them without them being able to defend. There is the "outmaneuver" action to avoid dying when tag teamed, and passive parrying is extremely important - which is done best with a good shield.

Game thread is up now that Paizo's website has gotten past its issues!

Others can join in if they wish, but this is pretty much a duel between a lightly armed sailor and a soldier.

Sable (Zamothis) has until Monday.

although I am still unfamiliar with the combat system I like the flow. I reread the rules today and will reread them again tomorrow. In the next combat I will keep track of the Action Points better.

I can keep track of action points. I'm used to games in real time, next time I'm going to keep a little tracker in my posts.

Any word from Sable (Zamothis)?

Nope, it looks like I will have to pong some of the others to see if they want the last slot. Like I said, he'll have until Monday but I don't have high hopes.

Thanksgiving has taken me down!

Update tonight!

Bueller..? Bueller?

I'll update this evening (US Eastern time). I'm travelling with a supervisor this week, so posting might be spotty. Please feel free to BOT my character if necessary to move the plot along.

I'll give a day or two and then force things along if it's still stalled. I know it's that time of year so I'm not worried this will die off.

Busy Monday will post tonight [eastern time]

Happy Holidays. Will not post again till Monday 12/28.

I have no issue with extended holiday breaks, everyone enjoy their Christmas!

You too. Happy Holidays all.

Hoped everyone had great Holiday!

Likewise!

Happy new year!

I lied about an update! family issues, guaranteed to post by this time tomorrow.

No problem, family is always first.

Mju's route.

Mju's route

I'm posting mid-flight on my way to China.

I still have not heard from Anathaym, so I will be botting the character until she posts again.

I'll update the game within 24hrs

I'm at the home office for training this week, so not sure what my posting schedule will be... so if necessary feel free to bot.
