GM Captain Trips Curse of the Crimson Throne (Inactive)

Game Master Chad Newman

Welcome aboard, everyone!

Greetings companions, the Gold Fisted shall protect the just and honorable.

And Shelyn shall help us fight for the beauty within us all

Good to be here :)

"Blood and Thunder!"

Thanks Rooster. I won't let you down.

Do you mind opening the gameplay thread when you have a minute for dotting purposes?

"The cards did say that I would travel with interesting people, and these are some of the more...interesting ones that I have met."

Seriously though, thank you for the invitation and I look forward to gaming with you all.

Gameplay up for dotting folks

Looking over the characters involved, I have to say I'm excited about this party. We're pretty diverse.

Checking in! Looks like it is going to be an interesting run to say the least! :) What are the odds that we'd have two harrow chosen in the party. Card games for all! :)

Never fear, Silvio's here! Just realized I need to select a better picture though, this fella has two hands!

I don't know how many one-handed avatars there are.

Or how you'd even know.

He just needs an avatar who has one shoulder not shown in the pic.

The first gameplay post is in progress, but it's a pretty long one so I'm not writing it in one sitting. Expect it relatively soon, though. Tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

Does Korvosa have laws for peacebinding and/or carrying weapons on the streets?

Somehow I managed to pick an avatar that had two hands - because he was playing a flute! This new avatar also has some bardic flair but without the instrument.

Good introduction posts. I'm going to have tough acts to follow :)

Don't worry, eventually you'll get in here!

Paladin in the house.
Cease all fun and frolic NOW

kidding ;)

In light of something going on OOC, I'm giving everyone an opportunity:

Those who want to may choose a drawback and get an extra trait. However, the drawback picked must be one that demonstrably affects the character in some way.

Neat, but I think I'll pass and be like Mary Poppins "Practically Perfect in every way" :)

Hmm. I'm strongly considering proud or naive.

I think I too will pass, largely because many of the drawbacks that would relate to Sera are situational and I would probably forget them 3 months down the road when they come up for the first time.

I’m leaning towards Proud over Naïve only because I feel like Proud’s more likely to come up (and that seemed to be one of Rooster’s conditions).

In exchange, Krojun’s going to grab an Auspicious Tattoo.

That sounds fair, Krojun.

Having already decided to begin with a lopped off arm, any chance that can be a "drawback" that justifies an extra trait? I was hoping to have Silvio take Extremely Fashionable.

Okay, I updated Krojun’s character sheet with his new flaw and trait. Also, I made his character header statblock more pretty. =)

We waiting on our paladin?

Sounds fair to me, Silvio. However, you'll need to find an alternate drawback when you get that arm regrown. Perhaps a penalty to things that need both hands, since you're no longer used to having two. :P

Also, today has been nuts, so my apologies for not getting to the post just yet. I'll do my best to get to it ASAP. ;)

Okay, I've made the change to Silvio. If he ever gets that arm back, I'm sure we can come up with something fun! (Maybe he's really sensitive about how his new arm looks, or something.)

If it's okay, I'd like to swap out a feat - taking Power Attack and dropping Weapon Finesse - the main reason is that at Level 2, Silvio can grab Weapon Finesse as a Rogue Talent.

That's fine with me.

We waiting on someone?

Nah, I'm getting to it in a moment, sorry about the delay. The weekend has been a busy one.

I've been at the lake for the long weekend, so sorry my update is only now just coming in. Can't blame a guy for trying to get in that last bit of fishing and boating before fall comes our way! :)

Gah, just remembered why Silvio didn't take Power Attack at level 1 - he doesn't have +1 BAB! He will try out Dodge instead.

... yeah, I missed that part too, haha.

I'm afraid Krojun's not going to have much to add to all this.

Let's try to move quickly with the intel gathering. Don't want to leave people idle.

When I click the link for the rolld20 I get "Not Authorized".

Use this link to apply.

My apologies, this is my first time DMing with Roll20.

I'm a bit confused. I've registered but I don't know where to find the map. Is there a link?

When you follow the "Roll20" link in the campaign description, there should be a "Join Game" link.

Haha, I guess that was pretty obvious. :P

Please tell me if you can move your tokens or not.

Yep, it's good

I will not be able to tell until I return home for the day.

Seems like everyone's token is moveable to me.

Yeah, if it works for some of you, it should work for all of you.

Our parent site is blocking Roll20, fancy that. I already hate this new office! Won't be able to try logging in until tonight.

Trying from home, I get a not authorized when trying to access Roll 20

Try this link first, Sera. It'll allow you to register and/or join the game.

If you're already in the game... uh... I'm not too sure, I'll have to look things up.

I can get in now, thanks.

Also, Rusty, how do you work NPC's being at 0 or less HP? Curious if channeling after foes have been knocked down will revive them, or if only PC's get the perk of negative HP.

Can we create a "standard" marching order to guide character placement? I think that'll help speed up gameplay. Suggestion below.

Krojun, Strayth, Silvio, Sera, Ruke, Nicolai.

If Ruke wants to get closer (because of his lower movement speed), Silvio can move to the back.

I'm not going to interfere with the decisions, but when I'm part of a party, we usually put a tank at the back of the line as well as at the front, in case of rear-attacks. That is especially true in cramped areas like buildings. ;)
