Here is our our-of-character campaign discussion board for players. Spectators and learners from our group are also welcome to comment here.

Just taking this discussion board for a spin and trying it out :) Looking forward to playing!

I just read 'Out-of-Character' haha

Very excited! If we need an extra PC, even temporarily, my husband offered to run as anybody if that would be helpful. Otherwise, I am always a fan of unconventional, small groups!

Somehow I managed to interpret Leah's fb reply wrong. It's late, I'm tired :) Here's a post from my actual self.

Hey! The discussion is what's out-of-character, so feel free to use either alias to post here; I don't know if there's specific etiquette on it. Dice rolls can be practiced here if needed.

Deanna, if your husband would enjoy running with us, that would be great! I was going to throw in a cleric NPC otherwie. If he wants to get ready and post a character profile link here, I can let him know when to tag in. You can invite him to the Facebook group (I think), too.

I have the first post mostly written and will get it up later this afternoon. Some rolls to start...

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Also worth noting, a lot may happen in a specific gameplay post, but you can 'backtrack' and mention how your character reacted to something that previously occurred in it.

Just practicing rolls since I haven't done any yet...

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Stealth with Disadvantage: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 81d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Just practicing as well!

Stealth @ disadvantage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

whip attack with smite: 1d4 + 6 + 2d8 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (3, 8) = 19

Ahahaha "you can reply to this message" Critters!!

Ahahaha "you can reply to this message" Critters!!

I forgot this existed and saw an 8...hmmm what's that about...oh yea!

Yes we are, I'll forever hear it in Sam's voice!!! Just introducing that you can reply to it in character haha. How great is CR!

Shortbow at advantage with sneak attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d6 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (2, 2) = 11

Lark Channels Divinity on the glowing monkey holding the backpack. It freezes, even its wings, causing it to fall to the ground. The wings and the backpack catch its fall and only cause minor damage.

Just to check here, does this do enough damage to break the Channel Divinity effect? (which breaks upon the target taking damage) Or was this just added for flavor and the "minor" damage is minor enough to not break the effect?

Just curious because it'll change how I react to what's going on :)

Yup, the effect’s still on, that was just for flavour.

Great, thanks!
