Happy Easter everyone!
That's right! Happy Easter everyone! ^_^ I'll have the next round of actions up in a little bit.
Happy Easter!
As some of you might have heard from me here, or in other campaigns, I have found a job in Japan teaching English. I have been packing and busy tying up loose ends for the past week/week-and-a-half and I apologize if this has screwed with my posting rate. I am posting this because tomorrow I am heading to Salt Lake City and will be boarding a plane to leave the country the following day. When I arrive, it will be flurry of moving in and starting my new job As such I may not be able to post until next weekend. I don’t however know what the situation will be like until I am there and may not have access to the internet for personal use for longer, though I highly doubt that will be the case. I will get a post (or may already have one) into the gameplay thread, and if I am holding up combat or roleplaying please feel free to bot me! I’m sorry if this causes any problems and I hope to be able to post again soon.
I can try to keep small posts through the week but I can't guarantee anything...
Congrats on the job. Good luck. What part of Japan you headed to?
Happy Easter!

Good luck with the job and the move. ^_^
I can do one of two things when it comes to the game though: If the rest of the group will agree, I can postpone until you get back or I can auto Pilot your character with your permission (.... or I can knock him out in game.... but I would feel bad about that for some reason...)
Just auto-pilot him. He's just been trying to make sprite-kabobs and, unless he gets hurt, shouldn't need to change tactics...
Happy Easter!
(.... or I can knock him out in game.... but I would feel bad about that for some reason...)funny. You seemed quite apt to take out me and raseri :3

:3 .... Well, I wasn't playing favorites or anything when I did it.
I was also thinking along the line of thought that getting rid of him just because it was easier for me felt dirty in some way..... .^_^.
Don't worry though, you guys will get your chance.
@DM - not sure what you mean by sprite is out of reach. hex range is 30' and sprite is exactly 30' away.

The one you were hexing and the one you cast the spell on were the same one. I was saying that you never hexed the other one and the only real one within range was the one you never hexed so I was curious why you had it listed that it had both -2 AC and -2 Attack... sorry if I wasn't clear enough... :(
You still hexed the one within range, but you applied the -2 attack to it instead of the -2 AC... I was also saying that if you wanted to apply the -2 AC before the -2 attack, then you could.... again, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding...
no worries. I'm not feeling a TPK over it or anything.
Hello, ‘ello I’m back! I will have internet access and even better a phone (again…) with internet access! But, right now I will have to use a friends internet connection for a bit until I can get those set up. (Maybe next week sometime?) My schedule is liable to become more busy than before but much more consistent. (No more part-time retail work, yay) I’ll hopefully be back into the swing of things shortly.
and dang I had a confirmed crit readied but the sprite is killed before it goes off, such is life in a PBP. I will have a post up shortly
Raseri shakes her head and snarls at the little orb of light that Mabs was attacking.
[b]"Make a fool of me, will you,"[b] she growls as she goes bounding across the snow and drawing the long bladed sword from the strap holding it on her back.
"It immediately uses a swift action to cast color spray... with no save!"
*Que Evil GM Laugh!* Ha!... Ha!... Ha!
Hey, I'm not complaining. It just comes with the territory. Sometimes you have fun, sometimes the fun has you.
yep... level 1 sucks! especially against color spray
Alright... In interest of time and moving forward, I will initiate a Sevante bot by tomorrow if he has yet to post by then. Good night guys!
cool
Man... The post rate has gone down considerably... If its because of how slow the story is progressing, I promise you guys that it speeds up after the big "Campaign Reveal."
not sure about anyone else, but for me, waiting for everyone to post in order, is my excuse. I check the game at least a few times a day and if there is not anything new posted, I wait until there is.
I am waiting for my turn. I have been scolded for posting too soon.
Same here.
I am waiting for my turn. I have been scolded for posting too soon.
...Was it me? :( If it was, I didn't mean to scold anyone...
Sorry for the wait. Varian got back to me after I messaged him about the game. He said he's dealing with life lately and said he'll continue posting in a day or so. If he hasn't gotten to it in by tomorrow, I'll do the same thing I did with Sevante until he can get back to us.
On a side note: Questions, comments, concerns about the AP? I know it kinda slowed down when we got into the Border Wood and there hasn't been a lot of chances for Roleplaying since the beginning...
np. life happens.
touching on the previous post, DM, are you opposed to posts "out of turn"?
I'm sure the double color spray, lvl 1, player neutralizer... had an effect on posting. (I mean, if I was an action oriented, melee character... built for combat, and I was forced to be sidelined for a combat... I'd be thinking twice about my level of interest in the game)
Not that anything was played "wrong". Overpowered spell for underpowered characters + failed save. (tough pill to swallow)
We all know, level 1 sucks. Options are limited, character hasn't really been developed yet, lack of "cool" gear... it's a horrible necessary evil. I'm sure once we get a level or 2 under our belts, it will pick back up.
.... of course I might just be ranting incoherently early in the morning.
I'm not opposed to posting out of turn, though I would prefer those who have an initiative after the enemies' to wait until the enemies' turn, just in case they make different decisions based on the enemies decisions.
If a player's decision ends up interfering with another players decision, I will ask if they will still make that decision before finalizing anything.
Also, remember that you guys can discuss actions out-of-character as long as its reasonable that your character would make the decision with in-character-knowledge.
Leveling Up: So far you guys are actually doing fine when it comes to your level (Though your pleas are noted). I calculated leveling you guys up according to the AP/added character and looked at some of the encounters at a point by point basis and figured out that leveling you this early would: a.) Make you a little bit too powerful for the enemies to come and b.) If I were to try and balance the AP more to accommodate your extra character/out of place levelup, then it would be a little bit too much work for me (and might result in accidental TPKs or even under powered encounters if I don't do it correctly...).
Remember that I'm still at practice at this... Though I very much understand your reasoning/ want for a power increase and reward.
Sorry about that... I was finishing up one of my classes for the semester. I'll continue the posts by tomorrow, k guys.
np. I'm sure you have MUCH more money invested in your education than on Pathfinder gaming. :)
lol I would hope so. We are patiently waiting and appreciate the fact that you are running this :)
I'm very sorry about my posting becoming slightly inconsistent recently, but I've had to deal with the end of my college year.
From now until the end of next week... and possibly the week after (some possible stuff I have to get done after the college year is out), I will try to post as often as possible, but I will be dealing with projects and what-not and might not have time to post or be mentally sound enough to make coherent postings...
The latter being one of those days currently... I will try to get the AP up and running again tomorrow, but be forewarned that I foresee some slow going due to one of my current projects taking up most of my time and mental soundness... and possibly sanity. :(
Anyway, I hope you guys still have fun and, like I said, I will still try to cater to you guys during this time. ^_^
Good luck on your project!
In this forum I don't always notice if someone is hurt. If you need healing please let me know.
Good luck on your project!
Thank you. I'm done with my finals now and have a cert test tomorrow.
I also got the new Battlemap done and will switch over to it once the team gets up and moving again.
Both Sevante and Varian seem to be disposed at the moment though...
I will continue to bot for them for a little while longer.
You guys want to move forward?
I guess so, since no one took the bait. :|
You guys want to move forward?
yep. rock on!
I guess so, since no one took the bait. :|
What bait?
"As for my secrets, well, I could tell you, but I'd like to see if any of you can guess what other talent I have besides being able to swing a great, big sword."
A sly grin spreads on her face, and the possibility that she has some fey in her line somewhere becomes very hard to ignore.
I'm assuming you mean this ^
^_^ I noticed it, but we are short two male characters to play around with this... and maybe Caladrel missed it? lol
Anyway, Mabs did notice and give you a pointed look, though.
I didn't even notice the innuendo until you pointed out. No, Raseri is not a crossdresser/transvestite. She could just not realize what she just said (like me) and someone will have to point it out to her (like me) at which point she'll be blushing (like me) and probably blame it on Taldane being her second language (unlike me. I only know english, so I can't use that excuse.)
Good grief I feel like an idiot.
I didn't take that as innuendo, but I'm still not sure wht "bait" Raseri is referring to.
Her portrait is blond, so we can let the innuendo go on that basis! (no offense to any ACTUAL blonds playing)
... I didn't even mean it that way... Hahaha! Lol!
I was pointing out the insinuation of her "other talents"... I wasn't insinuating she was a *cough* crossdresser/transvestite, though it was hilarious that it came out that way.
Are you not telling us something?
I think it's rather obvious from my main alias that I'm a guy that plays a ton of RPG characters who are women, but that's a different thing altogether, and yes, I was born a man. And thanks, DMDM! Thanks a lot! It's good to know I can slip in a double double entendre in there completely by accident!
No I was referring to something she has skill ranks in and you don't normally see on a barbarians character sheet.
As for the innuendo, I'll let you one of you tell Ras about it. She lives in my head and knows where my other personas are, so I'm not going to do it. I'm crazy enough as is!
I feel like I should say sorry... I wasn't trying to cause anything.
Anyway, I think every single person who plays this game or any other P&PRPG is crazy in one way shape or form. I believe players suffer from a form of split personality disorder and I don't even want to try and define what DMs suffer from. lol ^_^
Oh, i know what you mean, and I should apologize, that was meant to be read with massive sarcasm. I'm not upset or anything. I just tend to be overly dramatic, a drama llama if you will.
That said, as a GM ourself, We are perfectly sane, thank you!
I have only one thing to say.. Define sane.
Hmm... the internet says "Of sound mind; not mad or mentally ill."
The mentally ill part is self explanatory, but madness is defined mostly as what is considered against the proper frame of mind according to society. "He's Mad because he thinks differently from the majority of society," is a perfectly valid description for Madness (though it is also used as a term for mental illness sometimes).
Using that definition, I'm considered one of the Maddest of the Hatters up here in Alaska. I've only met a few people up here that even consider RPGs as a valid form of entertainment, while others describe it as playing house or make believe (I understand that it's kinda part of it, but to me it's so much more than that)... I don't know about you guys in the lower 48 or in other countries though, I don't like to label people as such.
Sometimes I really do wonder about myself though... lol ^_^
it takes a round to cast so I will move over to you and tag you just before I take my next turn :)
If Varian and/or Sevante don't come back within a week... I'm starting to think about finding replacements. What are your guys thoughts?
I've got a few players in my games that might be interested. Would you like me to reach out to one or two of them?
Thanks, that sounds like a wonderful idea. I guess have them pm me for the positions.
If they are interested, you or I can direct them to the character creation.
But! Can you give it a week? I'm gonna pm Varian and Sevante and at least give them a formal last chance/farewell.
yeah, I can. I may need to be reminded though.
No contact at all ----> replace them.
If they have the courtesy to let you know they wouldn't be able to post for a "long" time ----> give them extra concessions
From what you've posted already, I would say you have been more than accommodating.
