Yeah, that sort of thing always appealed to me as well. The cost was always a big barrier, as well as the time I'd want to invest in painting, creating terrain, forts etc...
I'll enjoy vicariously through you , Wolf ! :)
You need to field a miniaturisation of the Glorious 33rd sah! Sweep the board whot-whot!
Hope to post later tonight, heading out to dinner then I don't know what.
Also relying on Royal Caribbean Wi-Fi to not crash on me since I am in the middle of the ocean right now.
I can relate to the thing about picking out a miniature first and building a character around that. Fun way to do it IMO.
+1 I've done that also, but have also spent ridiculous amounts of time and effort getting the right mini in the first place...
Yeah, it can be a lot of fun to use an image or a mini as inspiration and build around it. Been a while since I've picked up any minis though, haven't had a regular tabletop group in years, just a few one offs here and there.
Posting might be a little slow for me this weekend, I'm finally succumbing to the flue my fiance and coworkers all have...
The players are dropping faster than the PC's!
Looks like this fight is in the bag though.
Tempted to start a virtual tabletop if I could a group to find a good four hour weekly window to get some serious RPG going.
I would be tempted to start with my favorites, which would be the Slavers series adapted to Pathfinder (A1 to A4).
Just curious if anyone would be interested in Roll20 as the medium and Core Pathfinder as the basic rule shell.
From the Roll 20 Website:
Video + Voice Chat (Including Google+ Support)
What makes tabletop gaming great? The people. While it’s not quite as good as getting around a table in person, our voice and video chat features help you see and hear your players as they spin epic tales of battle and intrigue. It doesn't require any setup, simply a WebRTC compatible browser. If you're on a slower connection, turn off the video and go audio-only. Don’t miss out on your players’ expressions during a critical roll! Read more...
Roll20 also features full support for running your games inside of Google+ Hangouts. If your players are already on Google+ and familiar with the Hangouts interface, it's just one-click to get Roll20 added to your sessions. Play on the main Roll20 site or take your game to where your players already are -- it's your choice.
I am not the best at new tech, but seems like we would need to get Google+ hangouts going too.

THis was NOT a good sign when trying to get google+ hangouts going.
You've stumbled upon some vintage web tech
This website runs on older technology and will only work in Internet Explorer.
Open with Internet Explorer
LOL that doesn't sound promising! IE?
For my part, the whole video conferencing thing sounds pretty daunting lol. And I'm basically always on call which is what makes it so hard to commit to a block of time for regular gaming.
That choice of modules sure is tempting though.

For me, its the slot that seems to be the problem. Roll20 and google hangouts (or discord) work just fine - although there are always a few teething issues. For people far apart its about as good as it gets.
But I just joined a Strange Aeons group based in Carolina and they want to start at 3pm (8pm GMT) and play for four or five hours. What with work on Monday mornings that is proving not so good.
I could do this any evening from 6pm-11pm approx. Or some time at the weekend but not Sunday evening until late preferably.
Slavers - great choice.
Has anyone seen the Critical Role sessions with Matt Mercer? I started watching them on youtube while I was off ill and I'm hooked.
Cheers
I don't know which guy is Matt Mercer but I binge watched some of those a while back. They were great.
Okay, back in the saddle! Sorry for the delay everyone. Been completely wiped out by this flu but I'm finally getting back on my feet.
Should have a post up this afternoon.
Cool!
I can't tell if Damien provoked an AoO.
How are you guys doing with your gear selections?
Ha! forgot about that....3000gp value right?
ok did I miss something? a little confused on this.. of course my memory is rather lacking at times.
also, I just got passed over for a core game, I made a bard but the selected party was a paladin, two clerics, a wizard, a sorcerer and a rogue.
odd selection if you ask me.
Treasure Janna. Everyone gets to pick 3k worth of treasure to find in the vault.
+1 miithril chain shirt 2100
Wand of CLW 750
3 potions of vanish 150
So I was going through the various magic items listed in Hero Lab and came across Armageddon Plate, cost 2650.
It's a scaling item, so wanted to clear it with you Grimmy before I chose it...
Lesser rod of extend, 3000 gp.
Scaling items are fine!
I think we did talk about this and the staff was what we decided on. (past PM's I believe)
Yup, I remember Janna. It's here.
Forgot about the 3k as well... decisions, decisions...
Does it have to be magical treasure DMG - what about MW or Unusual Material mundane armour /weapons for instance?
All good vhillish anything in UE will be fine
Cheers DMG...
For starters:
Efficient Quiver: 1800GP
10 Acid Bolts: 400GP
20 Alchemical Silver Bolts: 60GP
20 Cold Iron Bolts: 40GP

Total Spend Thus-far: 2805GP

Also guys you can have the spare change be coins or gems.
@LEo:
You do have unburned corpses. There were four acolytes, one lesser priest and Tavik (the orc priest). You burned only the lesser priest and one acolyte. Tavik's body vanished when it was crushed by the ogre.
I don't remember where each body is but they are around.
Nevermind, I need to level up first.
Anyways, was there more information to be discovered in here? I don't remember if we already check all the books around.
Well you can always use the books for bonus on knowledge checks in the future if you spend time for research.
As for the questions about the current situation I will double check but I think you found all the answers. There is also the point Damien was making though, which is that the team who read the spoilers needs to share the info with the rest of the team, so everyone can make a plan together.
There's also the bunch of undead milling around in the courtyard, Kevezyat won't stand to have those left there...and there's the matter of the corrupted thingy guarded by the crypt thing....lots to do :)
Tomorrow I'm mobile only, one of those 16 hour shifts.
I vote for trench the treasure room and sleep.
Ok we need Damien to do his gear and everybody vote on Leo's proposal.
The gangs kinda quiet lately!
No thoughts on Leo's suggestion?
I guess we are all busy (I've been busy this last weeks). Perhaps we need a little push forward by the DM, like jumping to the next scene.
If Leo's suggestion is to rest in here then I am all for that.
will post tomorrow (or I think tomorrow is actually today now), but tomorrow as in after I sleep, so later today tomorrow then.
ahhh... its 5 o'clock somewhere?
Yeah hunker down and rest up.
Well the next scene depends what you guys want to do next, probably deal with the crypt thing?
woking up the next day with the powers recover would be a good start, we can discuss what to do then.
Yeah - I've got an exam at the end of the week so my eye is off the ball. Jerrid wants to read and rest - go to bed with a book. Or three.
Ok let's go ahead and rest up. Nothing will interrupt the rest.
Damien has been MIA for a while I hope every things ok.
I shall send out a search party whot! The good lieutenant oft would go a wandering back in the campaign days... Roving eye pip-pip!
Yeah, see if you can track him down!
