Mr.Sandman's Untitled Campaign

Game Master Mr.Sandman

I just want to take some time to apologize for those outbursts. I acquired those aliases a few days ago when I realized not one of those four was taken, and there's just a great need...no...a responsibility that comes with having the news team. You need to interject jokes with them when you can, no matter how poor, and qhen Ron was mentioned... with great alias comes great responsibility.

My name is Ghorrin Redblade and I approve this message.

No apology necessary, I laughed so hard I almost dropped my taco. For you laughing acronym buffs, that's:

Also, this:

...That escalated quickly. But in a good way.

That interest check turned into a German blitzkrieg of character ideas, and some of us can't stop ourselves from getting them on paper once they're in our heads. :) Join the fun!

Extra, extra, read all about it: Goblin Tribe Hopes to Stave Zombie Apocalypse! Fire and brimstone expected.

LSHIADMT

Which, coincidentally, is the Goblin spelling of "San Diego."

EDIT: This recruitment thread has, IMHO, cracked the list of Top Five Best Things 3rd Edition Gave The World, and in no way is that depressing.

"Read? Read!? He's an imposter, get him!!!"

Charging sneak dagger stab mode executed.

Scholars have lost the original translation. They believe IT roughly translates to "The Whale's Vagina."

Charging sneak dagger stab mode executed.

"Ked? C'mon back, Ked, its just a figure of speech... Ked? Please? Maybe one of Ked's daggers, would like like to explain to him that... Dammit, now he's got me doing it!"

I'm so confused. Is this still a recruitment thread? LOL

...maybe, just maybe, I got a little too zealous to play. I did mention quite early that I like this idea. Goblins are pretty awesome.

"Read? Read!? He's an imposter, get him!!!"

Well seeing as this avatar is a skeleton, reading can't really be the worst of its offenses.

That said, I'm certain that DR 5/Bludgeoning isn't going to help much when an angry hallucinatory goblin comes striking in the back with all his fury.

Just popping my head back in. Hoping to see a game start soon :) seems to be more than enough interested parties.

I'm trying to finalize equipment:

As I have Brew Potion and Craft (Alchemy), can I get potions & Alchemical equipment half price? are there any limits on how much I can spend on these items?

Right there with you! I don't want to rush anyone, so take your time, but man am I jazzed about this campaign.

This is Vahanian89's submission.

Zogg! And his fiendish friend toothy! He is a divine hunter focusing on ranged combat and his companion is a melee biter. He has spells for backup but usually just uses his bow.

Still working on his backstory but he would be a specialist in recovering captives that try to run and capturing longshanks that the chief wants! He speaks goblin and common!

Well, Dikdik is ready (pending the answer to the question I asked) he can be found here.

and here.

(Burzik calls back over his shoulder from a fire he's been studiously setting.)

"Standing by for orders, sir..."

(Goes back to his fire.)

Yes, I'm a bit eager for this one.

...yeah, this is a long bloody recruitment.

"Dikdik Bored. Dikdik want burn someone."

"Ooh, I knows a good game!"

Ked starts juggling daggers to kill the time, smiling stupidly.

"Okay, see, first you looks at em going up...and...then..."

Kid's grin gets malevolent suddenly.

"Catch Dikdik!"
Ranged attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Sneak Stab: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5) + 3 = 12

Ked proceeds to fall backwards giggling maniacally holding his belly.

I wouldn't do PVP in the game; I'm not that guy, but I do imagine goblins are real @$$hats to one another. EDIT - By Lamashtu, what have I done?! I pissed off the alchemist! By throwing something at him. That will not end well.

Dikdik grins and looks at Ked.

"Now is your turn. Catch!" as a bomb rolls out of his wrist sheathe into his bombchucker...

"Ack! NOT my fault, the knives told-ed for me to do it!" Dives behind a wall and/or a convenient other goblin to take the hit.

Tarki is finally ready.

"Ack! NOT my fault, the knives told-ed for me to do it!" Dives behind a wall and/or a convenient other goblin to take the hit.

Convenient other goblin bursts into flame and runs screaming into the night.

"Don't listen to knives! knives are tricksy! they cuts you. or gets you burned." Oops, I'm turning into Gollum

"Not listen to knives? But I need knives to get to the pretty blood! It's so pretty! All bright and shiny and tasty...for a while...and then it goes dull...and I need to get more. Fire is fun, but fire doesn't leave pretty blood. So pretty..."

So then clearly, these two will be the ones to watch...

"Both of you, knock it off!" A green flame flickers around Burzik's eyes as he gets in between the two brawlers. Wisps of smoke rise up from clenched fists. Looking first at one, then the other, he growls, "You wanna save it for the pinkskins, or will this be in my readiness report?"

"Bah! Burzik spoil fun! Burzik worse than last Hobgob! Maybe same thing happen to him!?"

"Bah! Burzik spoil fun! Burzik worse than last Hobgob! Maybe same thing happen to him!?"

Burzik's eyes narrow. "You sure you want to talk to me like that, what with you carrying all that flammable stuff?" With a snap of his fingers, a small green flame jumps off his hand to land at the feet of Um, whatever this one's name was. "Look, let's all just keep it together until after the raid, then I go back to the 23rd..." Nine be willing. "...and you two can play Stabby-Bomby to your hearts' content. Okay?

I've taken a lot longer to make this character than I'd have liked. He's almost ready, but as usual, I find myself stuck on some of the details. Traits and equipment, mostly.

Equipment always takes me ages.

Dikdik giggles at the sight of the pretty flame. He lets it play across his bare toes for a moment, and it doesn't seem to burn him.
"That tickles! Not bad, hobgob. Dikdik knows all about fires, and his are bigger than that. Would you like to play?" he asks, pulling a vial from his bandolier and hefting it in his hand.

Ditto. To that point, if anyone has gear ideas for what kineticists can use, holler. :-)

Seems like you would spend everything on defensive items, given they have a practically limitless use of kinetic blast.

Personally, since they don't have spell failure, I would have either spent my first two feats on medium and heavy armor, or dipped a level in something that grants heavy armor...either way I'd invest in some platemail...probably more likely the former, since you don't want to lose caster levels, but then I'm not terribly familiar with kineticist, so I'm not sure how necessary augmenting your abilities with feats is or how necessary those feats would otherwise be.

At first glance it seems to be the most SAD class in existence, though, making even the wizard look MAD by comparison, as every class needs Con, but the kineticist literally needs nothing else.

One of the biggest drawbacks to a kineticist is that you have no way to ever gain an enhancement bonus to attack rolls on a kinetic blast. As such, you have to be sure to stay on top of ranged attacking feats, which means you can't possibly afford to waste your feats on armor proficiency instead of, say, Precise Shot or Weapon Focus.

Also, due to being a ranged attacker, the kineticist needs dex, so it's not quite as SAD as you'd think... though, it's still pretty damn SAD.

"That tickles! Not bad, hobgob. Dikdik knows all about fires, and his are bigger than that. Would you like to play?" he asks, pulling a vial from his bandolier and hefting it in his hand.

"I'd love it, riiz, but work before play. Once the humans are dealt with, you'll have my undivided attention. "

Dikdik pouts it looks like he's pulling a gurney and going bug-eyed at the same time
"Hobgob no fun." then he brightens and says,
"Burning Pinkskins fun! Let's go burn pinkskins!"

"Stab! We stabs them first! Blood not as much if you burn first. You stab the people and the horses and dogs.to ..and then you burn the houses and the books and...and really anything that doesn't have blood. You silly Gobbo, don't you know that? People burn so slow and little, it's not even fun, but they bleed so fast!"

Ked frowns and kicks a skull disappointed. "Gonna be nothin' left to stab if we burn everything...oh wait, I know! Cut em in half, and we burn half, first, stab second, an half we cut first, burn second! See. Am wisest goblin ever. Should be chief! Bring Ked food, and women, and blood, and fire. All in same bowl."

Alright, that was fun, but that's my ninth Ked post, and so I'm gonna stop here in case I need to change the clan name or anything else. One more post and the alias name is permanent.

I'm cool with that. It means I can get the last word in, lol

Chuckles as he sits, calmly, idly, petting Bristler, both the weasel and his hands glow with red-orange fire. Pinkskins sound so pretty when they burn, and smell so nice. He stares at his glowing friend, remembering the beautiful screams of the burned and dying. "Soon Bristler? Soon we'll get the chance to bring the longshanks the purity of the fire?" Bristler sits almost motionless, softly nuzzling Ronkus' fiery fingers.

"Stopp you guys! No fight! Or i let Toothy have you for lunch! He no eat today. And he hungry." Zogg exclaims. At the sound of lunch Toothy wags his tail and begins to salivate. His fiendish eyes looking towards the other goblins.

Dikdik looks at Toothy speculatively.
"Dikdik not burned big lizard. Dikdik wonders how long he take to burn...?"

"He no burn! He scales too good! Goblin god no let him burn." Zogg replies.

When will you be closing submissions?

Probably around the 20th.

Biscuits!!! We've got to wait till the 20th to even think about starting... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Gavmania: I would say about 1/3 your WBL would be a good limit.

Everybody: Sorry for not checking in for so long. We are having a wave of people quitting, which is making it even busier than it usually is this time of year, and as the trainer it is mostly falling on me. I probably posted this up far to early, knowing I would be a bit busier than usual until new years, and for that I apologize, but I do intend to get this started on the 20th or 21st, so the wait shouldn't be too much longer.

I was beginning to become concerned that this game would be dropped before it began.

Okay, I will go back over Dikdik and scale back his crafting purchases.

I am interested. I'll get a character made soon, hope I'm not too late! Love goblins.

This is a redo of one of my old characters, Drubbus Dogcooker, the goblin Sorcerer. I have a decent backstory, and I'll type that up soon. If I forgot anything, please tell me. EDIT: backstory is done.
Got Equipment for level 3
