Cheers all!
I ended up posting. No attacks yet, so we can fit him in easier perhaps.

My only comment on the cool extra stuff you have added to each PC is that it would be nice if everyone got one bonus for kingdom building/exploring and one for the other part of the game that might help in combat or social settings.
That is a solid idea.
So, is a coordinated volley to start the surprise round impossible, or did we just completely botch that opportunity?
I’ll let you get a ranged attack in in the surprise round.

I was trying to keep it balanced across the party, but I’ll think on it. My home brew creativity font is a bit tapped at the moment.
Goggeck, I just realized we are delving Rappan Athuk together.
Good stuff!
Given Dwarf Fortress's traditional lethality, I'm not actually certain which should be deadlier. ;)
You're making mincemeat of my encounters so far...
Well, we have to do well regularly, the foes just once!
Just a heads up that I leave for an 11 day trip out of the country on the 19th. I'll have an ipad and can post some but will not be reliable.
In case I need to bot in combat, i’m guessing earth blast away?
yep.
Have fun! And it is a good trick indeed.
Though apparently there are interesting options for geokineticists.
Everyone is limited at lvl 1
No worries. Headcold here too.
Don't sweat it; I just started a new job. Graveyard shift. Missed a night myself.
And there's about to be a shift change in the next week or two as well. ugh.
Everyone still alive? It's not even October yet, folks; no using Halloween as an excuse just yet!
Yes? Check the gameplay thread Gunnar...
Yup.
There is a bug where certain gameplay threads can appear as not updating on people's campaign pages. I know I've had trouble with it before.
Yes i have as well.
In regards to XP: because this is, for a good part, a randomly generated adventure, I've been doling out XP after every encounter. As players, how do you feel about that? Would you rather I track it in secret?
I mean, I'm fine with my GM just telling me to level as opposed to attempting to figure out when I am supposed to.
I like it best when you choose when we level up based on the game development and challenges you want to throw at us.
You guys have a medium-ish sized dungeon ahead of you, and after that, the game will open up. You have objectives but how you go about meeting them is entirely up to you. Luckily the PbP format gives me plenty of time to be prepared, but that mostly means generating random tables and rolling on them. So, you’ll level up when you’ve earned it, but it won’t be at planned points.
The unplanned approach sounds good to me.
I'll be irregularly posting for the next week or two, thanks to moving more quickly than Internet contract.
Can we count small short swords as medium daggers, since they're both 1d4/19-20x2 weapons? Otherwise those goblin weapons are pretty much useless for everyone but Toulbe. Though I suppose with time, Hezekh could rework them into something, or just shine them up enough to be worth selling some time down the line.
Sounds good to me!
I like it.
Long as we're not getting obsessed over when we level, I'm good with it.
It’s been a long busy day. I’ll have a post up tomorrow.
No worries.
It'll come when it's ready. No hurry.
Also, is anyone else noticing the board is haunted? I checked a few favs to our posts and the names are coming up blank. SpoooOOOoooOOooooky~
That's been happening for a while now!
And speaking of spooks, the phantom is finally out! Pardon the long introduction, but I figure if I don't do it now who knows when I'll find the time.
Urist, is there an image you'd like to use as a pawn for the commander?
I'll hunt something up when I get home from work.
Think it would be better if I gave the commander her own alias?
If you want her to have her own alias is up to you. It’s not necessary.
I'm an advocate of pets and companions having their own aliases. It's a nice visual for everyone else.
The commander has a profile. Feel free to use this picture, Armok.
Cool beans.
Damn, I thought I would've got that confirmation.
It would have had it not been for the AC bonus due to cover.
Ah, fair. I didn't really think about that. ~shakes fist~ damn their intelligence to take some rudimentary cover!
actually....
I didn't consider that that's against Touch AC...
That IS a confirmed crit.
Congrats, Yellow is out of the fight.
I'm curious what the miss chance is from. If the source of that was explained, I missed it.
That was an obscuring mist cast by the goblin priest. All the gobbo warriors were standing at the edge of the spell, so they had concealment 20% Miss Chance. Not that it helped any. They also had cover behind the wall, and still got obliterated. And the leader was rendered useless by Toulbe’s spell. Really, it went to rat poop fairly quickly for those goblins.
I’ll update with what you find in the morning.
I’m gonna have to cook up better challenges for you.
I laugh a but with everything I write for Toulbe. I feel like his demeanor and actions are just so undwarvenly that it is funny. Probably not to the Dwarves of course.
I greatly approve of Toulbe, contrasting with our Dwarfy Dwarves.
