I'll be home in a few hours after New Years celebration. Also, Happy New Years!

Sorry! I decided and forgot to post it! XD It's against saves.
Happy new year everyone!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Years!!!
Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year! Also, I'm never touching champagne again (who would have guessed that it gives me a hangover worse than tequila?!)
It actually helps if you stop drinking some time before going to bed while at the same time make sure you get plenty of water and maybe even some food in your body. It'll give your body help to wash away the toxins. Of course some people are more prone to hangovers than others anyway. I guess this means it'll be a while before we can expect an update from you?
First of the two updates up. I was slow today because I was nursing said hangover. Goblins update incoming.
To avoid losing post you can always just copy the text somewhere else first, then if you get logged out you can just try again.
Thanks for the idea, I'll start doing that, Irisa :)
I generally just keep it is in the clipboard, that's enough if I'm not doing anything else at the same time. For lengthier stuff like character profiles or if I have low battery on my phone I use google docs though.
Ouch! Sorry about the hangover. It's the bubbles, carbon dioxide speeds up the alcohol absorption so you get drunker faster for the same amount as other alcohols. Sneaky stuff.
Sneaky indeed Sholti! At least I didn't black out, that would have been worse I feel. Water, a few solid meals and some multivitamins helped out with it though.
Anyway, let's move off this subject lest I drink some more to test myself, lol.
Was Irisa able to take down the goblin? Was it wounded by the fire? Did Sholti hit? I'm thinking no to all questions, though I could be wrong.
@Hiranno: You should be able to charge after the goblin, giving you +2 extra to attack. It can't have gotten far with one move. If you want to of course...
Hey everyone.
When I think about making a character, I go to various fantasy art sites (DeviantArt, Pintrest, etc.) for inspiration. I look for a picture that I like and try to figure out what class and abilities that character would have.
Sometimes it's the other way around. I'll see a picture and have to make a character based on it. Tiel is such a character.
This is the image that planted Tiel in my mind.
I just thought you all would like to see it.
I've spent so many hours to look through Deviantart for the perfect picture for many characters. However I haven't done so for Irisa, I guess I should do so soon.
Tiel, I think you forgot bless on your last attack, though it doesn't matter much.
Ha, that's great! A perfect one-scene summary of Tiel's background. Character creation is sort of a hobby for me. The initial idea can come from just about anything, but art tends not to be the first thing. I probably have 15 or 20 characters of various types tucked away that will likely never get used.
Sholti is a reworked version of the 2nd character I created for pathfinder. She was for PFS and a bard/magus multiclass. Badly made, I didn't really know what I was doing then.
Sholti's avatar is actually Kazim, a cleric of Abadar from Legacy of Fire. Best thing I could find. Here's a closer pic that shows the tattoos better. In hindsight I guess it could be cosmetics, but I like the tattoo idea more.
I'm actually having a hard time finding out exactly how I want Irisa to look like. I've found quite a few pictures I like, but I can't decide on one. What do you think?

We are waiting for Hiranno (to take her normal turn in addition to AoO) and Zeldana right?
How does everyone feel about discussing strategy and various actions for characters? I love to figure out the best course of action and how we best can work together, but I don't want anyone to feel like I'm trying to play their characters for them.
Sure, but what do you mean? Strategy and actions for our current combat? In general? What do you have in mind?
I prefer images 1 or 2 I think. Some of the other ones are a bit too much like glamour shots.
What tactics, spells and abilities to use. Both in general and for current situation. For example:
- Positioning Irisa near Tiel allowed her to Command the goblin to provoke two AoOs (from both Sholti and Tiel).
- Flanking would allow Hiranno to sneak attack. Her splitting off on her own makes it much harder for her to get off sneak attack compared to if she stays near either Sholti or Tiel. It might be a good idea for Irisa to pick up a spiked gauntlet so she always threaten squares around her to make it much easier to flank with Hiranno.
- Daze becomes much stronger the fewer enemies and rounds remaining there are in the fight, while evil eye gets stronger the more attacks/abilities it'll help get through (or not get through in case of attack rolls).
I liked Pic two Irisa
This is sort of what I think for Hiranno's Kitsune form Inspiration, as well as this one.
Still looking for one befitting the Human form of Hiranno
Hey, that second one is Neapolitan from RWBY.
What do people think is a reasonable pace to play at? I just want to know what to expect.
Maybe 3-4 posts?
The first one looks a bit too techie. I did think about using the picture the avatar was pulled from but when I saw it I couldn't help but think it looked weird.
And actually Hiranno, they are both Neo from RWBY. Which is an awesome show! >_< While I love the show... I don't have much love for Neo...
I go more for the 1-2 and more if you can when it comes to posts but that is just me.
What does 1-2 or 3-4 mean? Per day? Per week? Personally I feel that it should be at least 1 minimum per person per day. The slower a game goes, the more time is spent trying to figure out what is going on compared to the time spent making a post. I feel 1 post per day is about the tipping point. Of course more might be even better (I can manage at least 2-3), but real life does happen too. If people are too busy in a given day, we can just post here so the rest doesn't have to wonder about if there will be a post or not. Not much have happened in the game yet, so there isn't much overhead yet, but hopefully we'll get there soon enough. Is one post per day too much for people?
It's 1-2 per day. But you have to make some form of lean way for those who work and all. For example Mondays where horrible for me because I had class and work back to back and didn't get home till 11.
I feel that one post a day should be enough. I can probably squeeze in two on a regular day. More on a day off from work. I realize that some people can post more, but some people can't. I just think that making someone feel rushed to post is one way to get them to drop the game altogether.
As far as tactics and planning go, I think we should wait until our characters get to know each other (and themselves) better. Once we get to know each others abilities, we can start to use them to advantage. Unless we have some kind of Batman who can see what needs to go where, and when it needs to get there, we'll have to figure it out through trial and error. For right now, it's just chaos, as it should be.
And for pictures, I seem to like number two on everyone's lists.
With the occasional exception I can do 1 - 2 posts per day, but I think if we shot for 1 per day we'd be in good shape. Less and we'll never finish this, whether from lack of interest or old age :p
Since this is a PbP I don't know how much close coordination we would ever actually manage. I think we will figure out how to work together best, but there will be trial and error involved. That's the way it should be in my opinion. In character we don't actually know each other yet. We shouldn't be coordinating anything or be aware of each other' capabilities.
If we shoot for "good enough" strategy we should do fine.
Whom are we waiting on?
DM Alistair:(. He's probably too busy with life to play. This is what I was afraid of when he disappeared for so long during recruitment, that he would be too busy. Hopefully he'll come back to us though.
Well, it's been a week now I think since we've had word from Alistair. What now? Is this a dead campaign?
|I hope not.
Of the two dozen games where I've had the GM disappear for at least week in or right after the first encounter I've never had a single one come back. You know what they say though "third (dozen) time is the charm".
I'm going to give it another few days before I give up and move on. This is my first pbp game. I understand that most don't make it through the first few encounters when the GM realizes how much work it is. Here's hoping that's not the case here.
Here's also hoping that nothing unfortunate has happened.
Agreed. I'd be really sad if this dies.
We could try to find a new GM. This is a good group.
If we don't hear from Alistair sometime soon, I'd be all for finding another GM. I really don't want to abandon this campaign. How does that sort of thing work?
Someone would post a thread in the recruitment forum saying that we are looking for a GM to take over the campaign.
At least we'd be able to stay together. That would be nice!
<Sigh> Well with a week and a weekend passed without any word from Alistair, I guess I'm ready to assume he's abandoned the game.
Do we agree to look for a new GM before walking away?
I agree! I'd like to play this game.
I'm up for it.
Unfortunately me as well.
I'm up for it as well. But I think we'll have a hard time finding a GM who would be willing to pick it up.
I too think it'll be hard, but I've been surprised in the past about some such request and this is a classic adventure path so might be easier to get interest for than most games.
