Monsters save the world (Inactive)

Game Master caster4life

GM is getting close! Advisor sent me a request for stories to heckle with as part of intro to defense talk. I figured explaining this campaign would be too much work, but I did send along some others .

oooh, tell them to ask how Snowball is doing and if she murdered any more squirrels :D

Stopping in to say hi. Been crazy busy and I'm checking every couple days to see if Cindy has anything to add. So far she's just absorbing info. Just wanted to let you know I am still here even if not all that active last 2 weeks :)

Ah now I see what Snowball was talking about in another thread. XD

:D

have we ever talked about moving this game off of paizo and onto a discord server? I am --this-- close to having zero games on the paizo boards.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That's not a terrible idea...

Also, I love how Tina and Bob are our diplomats xD
The ooze and the lich xD

Well I know this about the paizo-discord options:

Bob wants Discord
Snowball, Tina, Goldslip already play on Discord

Sendi: Doesn't want to play on Discord
Cindy?

Weigh in, folks.

I'll vote for discord, for the simple fact that I prefer markdown syntax over bbcode (**Boldtext** vs [b]Boldtext[\b]), but otherwise not a huge preference.

I've got a bad feeling about this

Tina --> Amidala
Samalgee --> Palpatine
Pendergast --> Valorum

And a relative newcomer just sparked a vote of no confidence? Begun the Gnome Wars have.

By extension:

Goldslip --> Qui-gon?
Sendi --> Obi-wan?
Cindy --> Captain Panaka???
Bob --> Jar-jar
Snowball --> Anakin

Snowball would probably be more like one of those worms in the sand pits or asteroids. Not much for taking sides unless it means getting a free lunch :P

My apologies for absence, life is crazy. Is the group moving to discord?

Radical character development from Bob.

it was just a proposal. I wouldn't want anyone to quit the game over it. If you haven't tried it yet, you could give it a try. Most people I know end up liking it more.

Bob is Jar-Jar? Hmmm. Works for me.

BTW, it just occurred to me (and definitely wasn't mentioned to me or anyone I know in a PM; yeah, definitely not that... couldn't be...)

Anyway, I should point out that if we keep the game on the boards, then it will be saved forever ...for posterity ...or in case anyone else wants to read it :3

It is some premium reading.

'specially the necro police, haha

and probably other things that I wasn't reminded of moments ago xD

I would vote to move the game to Discord. But not at the expense of losing a player.

Sendi? Cindy? Would you follow us to Discord? We've got a lot of players who know how to use it really well here and we'd all be happy to answer questions. It's WAY easier to use on mobile than Paizo. We could do a two-week trial period before committing to anything. I would prefer Discord but I won't make a move that cuts anyone out of the game.

well, we'd be cutting off at least one Non-Player Reader, so there's that xD

I would follow to Discord. Just finished off my 4 days straight stuck in the office :(

Oh? I didn't even know we had a non-player reader.

Shhhhh, it's a secret :3

Discord can be publicly viewable, if that changes anything (still no super strong opinions.

And I must say, my ego does love a good audience (n >= 1).

Still swamped with work :(
Still here tho :)

I'm moving several hundred miles now through Thursday and don't have internet set up at the new apartment yet. So I'll be able to keep up with posts a little bit but less frequently and not as well.

thanks for the heads up ^^;

Good luck with the move!

Cindyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

We neeeeeed yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I’m sorry. I need to drop out. A combination of a promotion turning up the difficulty at work, along with home buying and kids at home has floored me. My previous game load has just proven to be untenable. It pains me to do this, but it isn’t fair to keep a spot in games wheee I’m not pulling my weight.

This is a great group and a great GM. I hope that in the future, once life goes back to normal, that I will he considered for a spot if one is open. Again, I apologize for having to do this.

booo.

it is an interesting thing; I've dropped out of games before and seen many people do it to.

but I've definitely concluded it is a mental thing more of an actual time commitment thing. (because posting once every 3-4 days, which takes about 5 minutes, should be doable for anyone, even for someone who is barely committed).

But knowing the game is there weighs on the mind and makes someone think they can't do it even when they can.

Anyway, that sounds judgy but I guess I am saying that I understand even though it isn't logical.

take care!

It is very much a mental thing. It’s stress. There is only so much that people can take. And I’m at my limit, to the point where enjoyable things cause it. So I need to take a step back and get back into a good place.

Sorry to lose you, but I totally get it (and I've been there myself). Hope you can come back some time in the future. It's been good playing with you.

Sorry to see you go, Sendi! I'll see you around in our other games.

see you 'round the boards, Sendi ^^

Questions:
1. Cindy, are you still here?

2. Why is the only one with fire vulnerability the front lines? XD

we have a serious party composition problem

Like the fact the monster with the most Hp is the best ranged attacker? XD

Snowball is too dumb to get back. Well, she'll run away now that she's getting burned at least xD

She's supposed to just do flyby bombardment, yet she is neither smart enough think of it often nor wise enough to stick to it for most battles xD

@Tina: since this isn't PF2, I have to ask, is that channel energy Harm Undead? I'm guessing it would be xD

It is. I'm hoping that sticking a cleric on the other side draws at least some of their attention away from you.

too bad that Su won't take any AoOs xD

We're moving to Discord and roll20 after this battle. So if Cindy is still around and/or anyone is following, here is the link.

Also, I know this game slowed down a lot with Sendi leaving, Cindy maybe leaving, and my move/new job. But I want us to re-commit here as much as we can to posting every day. Let's use moving to Discord as an opportunity to refocus in that way.

if i use telepathy to close the door, will the light blue one be trapped inside that room?

Until it figures out or beats down the door, yes.

let's seeeee here. I was at 40 HP. I was just dealt 61 damage.

I'm -21 HP. But I have a 28 con. Looks like I am alive, but not by much. Given that we have like 0 ability to do damage with our current group, if I do survive this and get conscious again, how about we retreat?

did you take into account me closing the door last turn? I didn't see any mention of that, like the skeleton spending a move action to open it again.

how about the blindness checks. Did those d100's happen? I don't see them in the rolls.

Honestly I have very little idea of what is going on in the battle.

same xD
I'm not sure which skeletons are blinded... I know that undead are somehow not immune...

if snowball survives expect a serious dressing down by Bob for flying ahead like that and getting yourself stranded

lol, yay!
Maybe Snowball will also remember getting cooked really well and do what she's actually supposed to :3
Also, with that last turn, Snowball is at 24 AC and 23 hp.
She should survive if she keeps getting +10hp/turn :3
Maybe, if the skeleton clawing at her rolls badly, she won't even need life link :3

Ethyl Ermengarde? Holy s#*#.
Sorry Tina, Snowball has a new wife now :D

edit:
@Ethyl: check the alias name :3

later we can say "typo? I don't see any typos..."

edit2:
Should Snowball be responsible for damaging some clothing and therefore being introduce to Ethyl (either after or before her "hiring")?

I never typo I don't know what you mean. And I certainly don't fix one typo and introduce another one.

I'm fine with Snowball stumbling on me. The backstory GM Monster worked out was that Ethyl was on a separate site that she was bound to guard. It wasn't specified exactly where but it's a different location than Last Hill. If you know me it was a long time ago and probably brief.
