This thread is the typical thread for discussion. So, let us discuss.
Dotted into the gameplay. I'll move my stats into the alias soon. Kinda a busy weekend. Excited for the game!
It's not letting me post in gameplay for some reason, Ill try to dot again in a bit but I am here. And excited as well!
That happens occasionally. Try changing the text or waiting a bit.
Ok all good
Hello everyone.
Please keep me in mind for the future if any of the current players drops out - thanks!
Hey there, gonna make an alias and post in gameplay soon. Thanks for the acceptance!
Done!
Please let me know if I've forgotten anything or if I need anything. I'll re-format it later to be easier to look at and everything. I'll admit that I haven't given the rulebooks the most thorough of reads, so if I make any mistakes please gently correct me.
Hey there, all! Thanks for having me aboard. Apologies for not posting sooner, weekend kinda got away from me. The important mechanics should all be in the profile, I'll be doing some explaining, fluffing, and linking for fun later on, hopefully this evening when I'm off work.
Working on getting the profile all filled out. :)
Noticed I had an extra point in attributes so I dropped vigor by 1. Also, do we have anyone that can heal?
I believe that Xian has Healing as a power, so you should be alright there. And now that everyone has checked in, we should be just about ready to start. Once the last couple profiles are fully filled out and ready to roll, I'll give them a once over to make sure everything is good to go and we can get this southern gothic adventure underway.
Hey faceless do you inow for shootist, do the bullets stay good or do they have to be used in a certain amount of time. Also when Austin fails a hexslinging role to carve the bullets, does he he know that he screwed up, or does he not know until he tries to fire it?
The bullets stay good until you use them or you dispose of them and he knows if he makes a mistake carving them.
Awesome thanks, the book wasn’t really clear haha
Yeah I figured you'd only not know if you rolled snakeyes or something, but I wasn't GM so I didn't wanna chime in. Man, I've had snakeyes f#~# me over something bad in a lot of SW games. I always save a benny just in case of that now.
Nothing is worse than snake eyes and grim servant of death
I will never forget the time that Eli managed to almost kill the party brawler two turns in a row because of that. That was a hell of a Deadlands game.
I stand by my faith in the Grim Servant O' Death Hindrance, and my insistence on taking it for my characters. It's practically tradition at this point.
And come on, how often do I roll 1s on the skill die, really?
...My apologies in advance.
Yeah well that "tradition" almost ended up with dead party members, twice. It was certainly an entertaining combat though.
Hey, let's be fair. It almost ended with dead party member, singular (twice). The dice were very specific in who they wanted to take those bullets.
Eli, Austin, Walter, and Thomas all appear to be put together and ready to go. Xian and Drake please get your profiles up so I can give them a once over before we start.
Well I still need to finish gear.
I was wondering if I could reflavor the bladed war club to be a sledgehammer of some sort, you know, like something a rail worker might have?
Also I'm hoping we'll find better melee weapons in the future, because I am going to wanna utilize my full strength when I get to d10 (and hopefully d12). HULK MODE ACTIVATE!
I'm alright with that. It seems to have the same stats as the maul in the core book anyway, which is generic the two-handed blunt weapon. So that should be perfectly fitting.
@helix: that... is a really good point, damn the dice really had it out for her didn’t they?
So I realized Eli's profile still had the info from when I first built a Harrowed Huckster, not the new stats for the elderly preacher-man. So that's been fixed. Included links to some fitting songs for fun attached to his Edges and Hindrances--a couple of them aren't perfect, but they'll do.
Full backstory write-up still to come, but I have it all worked out in my head at least, and I can just jot down a short version if need be before game start.
I feel silly for having overlooked that, but everything still adds up, so things are all good.
Paizo continues to be a pain about me updating my alias. I'll just send you my sheet directly and put it on here once it finally lets me update.
Sounds good to me.
Also, one question for Walter before I forget again. Is Knowledge (Mad Science) supposed to be the Weird Science skill?
Yes! I suppose it is, sorry. I didn't see "Weird Science" in the list of skills in the normal (Core?) rulebook, so I just put down something that I thought I would need. I'll change it. Do I need to adjust anything else?
You're good otherwise. Weird Science is just your skill to activate your powers, so it's important to have.
Just a heads up, a storm is playing mary he’ll with my power. Posting will be sporadic at best for the next day. Probably won’t be a problem since we’re still waiting on tclegg but figured I should let you guys know
This game, of which recruiting ended over a week ago has yet to start. Sorry, but if that's even remotely reflective of your GM style, I'm just not interested in continuing. Once a day is already slow as molasses for me. Once a week is outright unacceptable. I'm out.
The game hasn't started yet because several people have been having issues with Paizo or personal computer issues and haven't been able to get me their finalized character sheets yet. If you're not capable of waiting so that the entire party can actually be able to play when the campaign starts, then you're in no way a player that I would want to play with. It's selfish and rude and frankly good riddance to anyone who thinks they're more important than other players.
For some reason, new posts haven’t been showing for me until today...
Getting a proper profile entry and more up today/this evening....
I've had that glitch before. I was beginning to think you might have lost interest, but Paizo has been having issues for a while now. Please try to get it together quickly. I was hoping to start this weekend once Drake got through some laptop issues and got me his final character sheet.
Xian’s got a very basic profile all filled out.
Trying to find a better layout than the HeroLab one... :)
Awesome! Drake sent his sheet directly to me since he's having an error that keeps him from updating his character at the moment. I'm a little busy tonight, but I'll try to get things start either later tonight or tomorrow since I have a mostly free day :)
And the first post is up!
Yo, looks like I have to go back and buy another couple things... like, pants, a coat, a hat? I think I want to put more money into dynamite. That ok?
No problem. I don't mind any sort of changes near the beginning of the game usually.
I promise not all my posts will be text walls, but it feels good getting back into the swing of PbP, and I love writing for Deadlands. It just feels good, especially for establishing character.
Realized I forgot to buy ammunition for Eli's guns, along with the second pistol I was waffling on and decided fit for the backstory. So I'll be adding those and accounting for the costs shortly.
No sweat. Also, apologies for the delay. Drake is having problems with the site again.
A post will be up by me tonight, or I will burn Paizo’s server room down myself.
Hey, it seems that the free PDF of Deadlands material is not available anymore. The RPG archive has gone under. Can anyone do me a solid and give me a small list of recommended equipment and their costs? I'd like to buy another six sticks of dynamite ($24) and just some basic traveling gear.
Should I buy the Savage Worlds/Deadlands books?
Apologies for the delay. I meant to update yesterday, but I got busy and didn't have much time.
I apologize for the lack of posting on my part, work has kept me away from home, I should be able to post later tonight when I get home.
Checking in. Xian, Drake, you there?
