I would say Aoife's cloak would help her here a lot... but she's still not at 100% so it'd just bring her back to normality.
For those who want to get down to the "contour line" level of detail on the terrain around Culdaff, you can switch to that layer in Google Maps.
It will show you where the high ground is, where the steep cliffs are, etc, so you can prepare good scouting reports
I didn't know you could do that on Google Maps! Nice!
It's a 24hr day at work for me tomorrow, so you'll have to be a little more patient for the continuation...
24hrs?! I... Is... Is that even legal?
How does that even work without literal sleeping time on the job?
And I did not know about the contours feature.
I work on film sets, and the standard day is 13hrs. My call time is in the afternoon, and we expect to go to overtime. And I have meetings as of 6:30. So maybe I am exaggerating... A 22hr day?
As for staying awake, the trick is to never sit down!
And coffee! Don't forget coffee!
In that case, good luck!
Ouch, good luck
I am back! It only ended up being a 22 hour day, followed by a very brief night's sleep. Long story short, I got to bed early last night and I am now, finally, reading through all your posts.
I love it that you all kept the flow in my absence!
I'll post something at some point today :)
Welcome back!
Though I already knew you where back... yay posting in the Kingmaker game! XD
Those posts are less time-consuming!
...And this Mongol conquest campaign seems promising! The GM is quite good. I briefly played in another of his campaigns. He writes well and creates engaging NPCs.
Well of course they are... unless you're me and need a moment to collect yourself... *clears throat* Need to stop getting so invested...
Good, I was going to go digging in the talks kept up. Now thanks to you I don't have to! ^_^
Apologies for delay. I'll do Daire's post tomorrow.
Off-topic request for assistance:
If you are willing to help me build a medieval Persian unchained rogue, or slayer, could you PM me? I'm struggling with the mechanics.
I'm catching up on pbp at the moment.
If I've time today to look over that thread's character creation, I'll make suggestions for your concept also.
So what all can Aoife pick from to equipt herself?
Anything you need, within reason! You won't find steel armour, mind you.
... how many throwing weapons? Because I could really do some damage with throwing axes and daggers.
Have I got this right?
Rudhan, Aoife, and Daire are going with the infantry.
Thorun is riding with the cavalry.
If so, I think it best for me to be on horseback and so I'll go with Thorun. Sister Cobhlaith has no armor, unless it's possible for Thorun to grab something from the hall and have her put it on.
No masterwork weapons, unfortunately. And a couple of axes and daggers, no more. Ill-fitting leather armour is available for Sister Cobhlaith.
It's up to Thorun if he wants to ride with the cavalry or march with the infantry... But yes: Aoife, Ruadhan and Daire seem to have elected to stand with the infantry.
I'm fine with bare minimum leather armor. Would you like me to use standard AC or something less?
I have my quarter staff and a dagger, so I should be ok for weapons.
Standard AC works.
Cavalry sounds great! Thorun will lead the charge :D
Let them taste the fury of the northman!
And I just realised that I missed a bit in my last post about not being bad with a sling. ;)
I am going to give Ruadhan some time to post as the site has been down more often than not... And keep in mind that my wife should go into labour any time now, so I may disappear for a few days!
That's fair.
And good luck to you all!
We back? This up and running again?
Hi sorry, Paizo has just been on and off (mostly off!)for days it seems. I had done a big post (mostly dice rolls) and left it saved in my clipboard when it wouldn't post (just prior to the scheduled maintenance). Unfortunately switched off my phone since then and have lost it all, but will get it back up tonight or tomorrow.
Shame as although most of my shooting was poor/ terrible, I had a good withdraw roll!
It looks like Paizo's tech team have fixed whatever they needed to fix.
It's cool, GM said he'd be away because his baby is suppose to be born today! So he'll likely be gone till Monday at the earliest.
tap, tap, tap
"This thing working?"
New baby? No sleep, no brain, lotsa diapers. Fun times.
I'm going to be afk until next Tuesday. I'll catch up then.
Hey all, I've decided to get back into DMing on the boards. If you're interested check out my recruitment thread :)
I'm back – more or less!
20 hours of labour + 3 sleepless nights = happy and healthy baby and tired parents. To be fair, my wife is doing the heavy lifting and I am playing the supporting character, so I can't really complain. Long story short, all is well, and little Sophia is a doll.
:)
Nice campaign, Thorun. I started reading through it, got really involved, and then remembered that I really shouldn't be investing in a new campaign under the circumstances! Later, if and when someone drops out and things are relatively calmer for me, I'll submit something... And respect: I love the fact that you don't even want to discuss crunch.
As for our Irish saga... Ruadhan, you're up!
I know, I know. The server has been down more often than not. Which raises the question: your thoughts on migrating to another platform? Just throwing it out there...
Congratulations Amergin, and all the best to you, your wife, and Sophia. :)
A few campaigns I'm in have established secondary communication channels in discord, if only to maintain contact outside of the boards. One campaign is being mirrored there, another discord-only game has started.
I think it would be a great idea at minimum to have a second communication channel, whether discord or email or another board. If Paizo goes down again, we won't be stuck unable to speak with each other.
Forums live again! But for how long?
Congratulations Amergin, welcome to the madness!
Just taking the kids to the beach (where they can't break stuff or make a mess!) But will post later.
As to another communication option would be good as I have kept trying to post to no avail. Equally I would happily try another platform, but I don't know any to recommend .
Oh, and Wisdom or wise. Good name meaning!
Congratulations once more! I hope things don't get too hectic, I haven't had children myself, yet, but I am the youngest of ten so I do know a thing or two about kids. I was always babysitting.
Also Thorun I haven't really had the ability to read your thread yet. Site went down when I tried, I hope to get to it today.
As for another site, discord is a good one for talking. A good amount of my games have chats there. If you mean a more permanit home, there are few forums I know of and I tip my hat to this one for the simplicity of the dice rolling system. Roll20 is a site that does online gaming, though it was made more to mirror the 'everyone sit down and play for 4 hours table top style' then how we run PBPs. Also there is the fact that unless you are paying Roll2, you cannot access it from anywhere but your computer. You can't pull it up on your phone, which would limit us in posting abilities.
I'm fine with whatever off-Paizo channel we establish.
I use Roll20 a lot, but then I'm a laptop/desktop sort, so I'm not as aware of the mobile limitations
It comes down to Discord or Roll20 or enduring the regular Paizo breaks!
I also tend to use my laptop... Are any of you dedicated phone users?
*raises hand* It is how I post so often. I do it while I'm at work and with my laptop slowly dying, I had mentioned something about it a while back, it might become my only way to post if my laptip dies before I have the money to replace it.
Noted. I'll look into Discord... In the meantime, let's hope that Paizo has solved its issues!
Just in case, if you don't' mind, perhaps you can all PM me your emails so that I can get in touch if things go awry?
You already have mine! ^_^
Also, discord is really easy to use. You can even download an app to use it on your phone! That's how I use it.
Sadly, I am pretty much a phone only user. More chance to post at work, but work computers ban it, apparently we should have better things to do whilst waiting for fires!
Discord is very easy to use.
Amergin I accidentally posted with my "DM Omen" alias. Could you mark that account as an NPC for me so it doesn't mess with my campaign tab?
I'm a pretty regular phone user, though I prefer posting from PC whenever possible.
Though I finally thought to set up Discord on my phone so I can access that much more often now.
Here is an invite code for Discord: as6YGV4...
It does make it easier on the phone. Most of the time.
