Welcome, goblins and bugbear! Make yourselves at home, discuss with one another, just don't keep fighting.
I hope to get the game going in a few days. For now, please look over your sheets and finish any formatting or changes that need to be done. Some of you aren't quite in proper format. I'd also like for your fluff to be in your profile along with stats for ease of reference. Thanks!
Fantastic! I'm very excited about this game and so glad to join you all. It sounds like we may all die quickly, but lets do it well!
Zoog will never die!
Gniffles, your profile looks good except you forgot to add your size modifier to your attacks. Also, if you could put your spells in a spoiler that'd be awesome :)
Zoog, the only thing I see is some discrepancy in your bomb stats. You seem to have one extra point in your attack bonus that I can't figure out. If it's for Point Blank Shot, then you should also have another point on damage.
No more fighting? But it was just getting good! And yes, if we do die it should be in as spectacular a fashion as possible.
And thanks for taking me on, GM. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to gnash my way through this!
Indeed! I'll put a link in that bar beneath my name to a google.doc with current spells memorized and uses. I'll add the size modifier too (and gobliny treasures!)
Marrowdown: could you alter the readings of your bite attack? I think I understand how to read it, but I'd like it to be more along the lines of:
Melee bite +x (1d6+x)
Done! I just like doing it that way because when you start to add in weapon enhancements and such it gets kind of jumbled.
Bomb to hit bonus: Dex 5 + BAB 0 + Throw Anything (+1 with bombs) + Small 1 = +7... yes?
Ziki ready to burn things with fire and lick toads.
Level 0: Acid Splash, Detect Magic
Level 1: Color Spray
I'm very excited to be part of this, and I think it'll be great to be the unholy terrors of the Jade Empire.
We good yes? You like Um's stuffs.
Hi all, I'm looking forward to playing with you all.
Spug's first task will be to develop a strong friendship Zurk, ensuring that he now has the muscle to help him when words fail :)
I too am looking forward to this game. My plans are simple, Kill things and get distracted.
Zurk like Spuggy. Spuggy follow dah Hungry Lady. Dat's why Zurk no eat Spug. He give Spug extra squiggly bits, since Hungry Lady no like her people to go hungry.
Okay, Zurk looks good, except you have the Greataxe set up with just your Strength modifier to damage. It should be +7, not +5. Also, if you could space out some of the Statistics section and/or bold important items ("Feats," "Traits," "Trained Skills," things like that), that'd be great!
Horsecutta, I think you're also good. Only thing is, do you want Craft (weapons) or Craft (bowmaking) as a skill? Bowmaking is needed to make bows and arrows.
Spug, your crunch looks fine as far as I can tell.
Ziki, I think your crunch is fine, but if you could put it into proper format, that'd be great.
Good to see that so many people have made it here already. Looks like we're only waiting on Aka to post in!
Oh yes yes made a minor mistake there. So used to crossbow builds.
I'll definitely fix with bolding and such. I had totally forgotten about the greataxe. I'll get it upgraded.
Ok, should be all set now with vital stats in the header (along with spells). I also swapped Gniffle's Knowledge (Nature) since it seems three others have skill points there (So it seems covered).
Sounds good guys. You can keep adjusting your character's skills and feats until we open gameplay.
Also, I was under the impression Vorka was a witch (the picture online has a witch's hat. And she's a cannibal that lives deep in the swamp... made sense to me.
Apparently she's actually a druid... which makes Gniffles' background a little odd. Just saying, sorry for messing up the canon.
Hah, I was misremembering that she was a witch myself. Maybe we'll have to change that, eh? Canon's not a huge concern here. I'm already messing with the AP a whole lot; I half expect the team to come in here and tell me to knock it off, haha.
Don't worry. If they shut you down we will get every gobbo in the world to come down on there heads. Geeba pride represent. Err um yeah.
Zurk taps Horsecutta on the shoulder.
"Zurk think you want to include bugbear and hobgob too. It be very smart idea if you do."
Bugbear and hobgoblin is geeba. Heck hobs even got it in their names right?
@GM, sorry I thought I changed it to fit the format, but apparently it didn't save. I'll get it all in order today.
"Fah! Stupid Licktoad! Hush Up! Pay attention! Mama gonna show us what's what soon!"
How's the crunch now, GM?
Alright, Aka, if you could get your stats in the formatting I provided in the template, that'd be awesome. Other than that, everybody looks good, so I think we're ready to start!
I'll try and get a gameplay post up momentarily.
Would you link or PM the template again please? I can't recall it at the moment.
Uhm, right now I'm posting from a computer without it. I'll post it up here when I get the chance, or you can check out the other characters' profiles to get a look at it.
EDIT: GAMEPLAY'S UP AND RUNNING!
GM, does this meet with your approval?
GM: House Rule Consideration: I was wondering if you would consider allowing all out-of-combat healing to be maximized? I was introduced to this idea at a Gencon Society game I played in and I really like the idea of it. The GM justified it by saying that when you are not rushed, you have the ability to either target the healing spell or wand at the optimal area, or consume every single drop of a healing potion.
I have played with this rule in a few PBP's and it has really been well liked and appreciated by both players and GM's.
As a head's up; My son & I will be road-tripping down to my Father's in Oklahoma tonight, so it will likely be a couple days before I can post regularly again.
Of course this has to happen just as I am ready to start posting in gameplay...
Poor Aka :(
Aka--looks good! Sorry to hear you're on hiatus, but no problem. Thanks for the heads-up!
Spug--that sounds fine to me. I also generally have a houserule I forgot to mention that as long as you have reasonable amounts of magical healing available, and nobody has severe or ridiculous wounds, you are fully healed overnight. I like to keep things heroic and such, even in a goblin campaign :)
What could possibly be more heroic than a goblin campaign? Well, I suppose a Monkey Goblin campaign, but other than that: Nothing.
Giant goblin campaign, with flying goblin dogs and longhsank kabobs for all!
Zurk, I really like your reference to Venkelvore, as the "Hungry Lady". I tried using her official nickname (Most Glorious Neverfull) in a sentence, and it just didn't have the same impact. I will now be officially adopting the Hungry Lady has her nickname :)
I thought it fit. Especially since it was too long for a bugbear mouth.
Yay! Big bonfire soon! Burn away the bad juju from scribbleface's written words
Then...we go a`killing!
GM: Another campaign I was in died last week, as there were frequent pauses of multiple days waiting for players to post. I have seen this happen to other campaigns as well. With this many players, I'd recommend never waiting more than 24 hours (or 12 hours if in combat) for a player to post. Players seem to loose interest when there are many breaks. If a player has disappeared a couple days without letting you know, just replace them -- with this campaign you'll have no shortage of replacements :)
Anyways, just do whatever you think is best -- I'll still be around. I'm just looking forward to this campaign and just wanted to throw my 2 cents in, should it help keep it a long an prosperous campaign :)
Being 4th of July week as well means a lot of people in the US might be on trips
I'm going to hold off for now, because Aka was in my last Jade Regent game with a WBG prologue, and I'd like for Irnk to get the chance to play. Otherwise, I'm planning to keep things moving. Also, keep in mind that there are no replacements--you go until you all disappear or are killed, or until you finish. MINKAI OR BUST, as it were :) Think of it as incentive to keep playing--if you leave, you leave the others in the lurch.
'Course, it could be amusing to see a lone goblin try to complete the AP...
Zurk will kill all, for the glory and honor of the...ooh, look! A shiny!
yeah it is 4th of July week, I am not going on trips, but I might not be able to post every 12 hours. plus, my average work day is 12 hours when I have hours lol
Ah yes, the Holidays do always slow things down. We already had our Canadian holiday on July 1st, so I'm already out of holiday mode :)
'Course, it could be amusing to see a lone goblin try to complete the AP...
Hrmm... I may have to pick up the leadership feat eventually :)
What's a holiday. :)
