Dot. Will update.
Zrax'ir sneaking in. Hello all!
boing!
Just to warn/acknowledge, I know I picked a generally seen as weak archetype and have a non-optimized build even within that archetype. I've read the magus guides, I know how to "fix" him in a level or two if he's completely useless, but I want to at least try the concept as I have it in my head and see what happens.
I think PbP is a format where you don't have to bring the most optimized characters to the table, since it emphazises character interaction more than combat (usually). I mean, I am a friggin' kobold, and a ranger at that. Try selling that to an optimizer :)
or a cleric who doesn't channel.
Oh wow, we're a band of misfits :)
Nonsense. Apsu teaches that even those without teeth can bite, even if it looks silly and pathetic. Apsu also teaches that whoever fights against an overwhelming challenge earns lots of honor. So we should have lots of honor from the start.
I dunno about Apsu, but Torag is pretty clear that you have to kick the a$$ of evil, cause if you don't, it will keep sprouting back up like a weed.
Since I plan on using his patron deity for several references, I will quote some information below, but we can safely assume that Zrax'irs knowledge of Apus's teaching is somewhat distorted. To say the least.
Apsu
Portfolio: Good Dragons, Glory, Leadership, Peace
Apsu is the patron deity of all good and metallic dragons, and one of the oldest gods of the Great Beyond. Along with Tiamat, he is (at least according to draconic lore) believed to be one of the two original creator beings of the multiverse.
It is said that Apsu and Tiamat created the original gods. One of the first was Dahak, the destroyer. Apsu entered the Material Plane to battle Dahak, but was betrayed by Tiamat. This created a rift between metallic dragons and chromatic dragons. The battle between Apsu and Dahak still rages upon Golarion today. Apsu is also numbered among the divine creatures which fought in the battle to defend all of creation against Rovagug.
Im here cause being a heroic type figure impresses the ladies... or something like that who needs optimazation?
How does this look?
Also, I almost never see optimized characters in general play. Mostly, on these forums.
I am planning on putting the campaign stuff starting tomorrow. I want to give everyone a chance to check in.
A quick primer on dwarven to common translations, by Tor Deathsteel:
Firegut: A potent (is there any other kind) dwarven alcohol, similar to vodka.
Dwarfsteel: Adamantine.
Piss: Human alcohol.
more to follow, but that's what I can think of for right now.

Flavored Water: Elf alcohol.
Lass: Elf
Kickball: Gnome
looks like everyone has checked in at this point.
Apsu teaches that everyone who checks in needs to be checked out. Zrax'ir is so confused sometimes, but he tries his best.
little Zraxi... were you talking about checking out or 'checking out' *waggles eyebrows in a joking fashion and pretend flexes*
Be careful Calin the kobold is at your tush level. :)
Shalafi, I am keeping track of how much crafting costs are for ale (they aren't all that huge). Mainly that was my roll for the keg that I'm starting with.
ok
Hey all, for the next two weeks I might not be on as much. I am getting ready for my doctoral defense in a few weeks. I found out it was accepted a few days ago.
I am going to try to be on as much as possible but just wanted to give a heads up.
Grats! I hope you defend it in such a way it can't be challenged!
I hope so too! It seems at the point it is a formality.
Was someone in this group supposed to help me with the maps?
Do you have access to the maps, Mal?
The kobold hasn't checked in yet in the Game thread has he?
I only have the Anniversary hardcover, but I'm willing to buy the maps if we need them. Just let me know.
I have RotRL maps, but only for the original 3.5 version (the Map Folio). I don't know how compatible they are with Anniversary Edition though.
EDIT: Sorry for missing the start, for some reason I didn't see any "X new posts" indicator. Weird.
that happened to me in another game. silly computers
Talatehl, could you do that and be in charge of the maps? That would be a great help!
Just purchased the PDF for Burnt Offerings. Just let me know what you need map wise, I should be able to get to it later today.
Ok. Can you get the player's images as well as monsters?
Um? I'm not sure what you mean for player images and monsters. Once we have a map, what's the plan for using them? roll20? something else? etc?
They can be placed in the game forum. We will need little images of the characters and the monsters that are placed on the map.
The map is up but I don't know how to add little figures. A friend from the other campaign has added this for me.
Same here, the link doesn't seem to work. Did you move the map into another folder after sharing it?
sorry bout the derth of posts. Been crazy sick this last week, and it really came to a head on Saturday, when I had to go to the hospital cause I had a 103 degree fever. good times.
