I do not honestly know - I think one where it would make sense to start off with ties to a community. Which resonates with Hegron's background. Much like it was here.
But my question was not with the intent of looking for a game for Hegron - I was thinking that APs offer a conducing thread of events which can be very useful when trying to organize a game/campaign. You can always derail and make things go off the beaten path, but your baseline/underlying plot/main thread is always there if you want to return to it.
Even more than that, I feel APs can help by offering detail/fleshing out all the other stuff which is happening 'around' the game - settlements, NPCs, side plots, villages, businesses, etc. Sometimes a descriptive surrounding is enough to get a sandbox game going.
Then you'd like the kingmaker game I'm in with him. He actually let me make the NPCs for my character's academy! I'm not finished with them yet... 12 people is a lot to build, but it is still nice! ^_^
There is a lot going on at the moment though most of it has calmed down.
I am actually basing this loosely on an AP... the events have begun and more will happen.
Anyways, Maqan and Urdrsk please ask a friend to see if they want to join!
Just my preferences:
Divine or Arcane with a wand of cure light...
Snarky or Trouble seeker
We are leaving the dawrven mine, past the destroyed village that was most of the PCs home, heading down the trail to find the bandit's headquarters run by black dragon headed humanois. 'TIAMUTS'S SPAWN' DRAGON SPAWN.
I realized that you have not seen much loot recently but for one reason or another you will be stumbling upon a treasure chest! Why you might ask am I giving all my campaigns this boost? I will tell you, I just hit 20,000 posts and likely more posts have happened this year than any other! I want to thank all my players for all their time and effort, I appreciate everyone of you!
To make the treasure within it more helpful each of you get to pick one item in it. Also this will be on a first come first served basis. The first item picked should probably benefit the group more than your own character though, so it is maxed at 4,500 gp. The next one is 3,000 gp; 2,000 gp.; 1,000 gp; and 500 gp for everyone left. Happy Wishing!
Welcome Night! I am Maqan's player Timerkeeper.
Our group just got done finding an underground area that once held a stone that kept our little town safe. Saronis's sister stole said stone and now we just returned to total destruction. We got the slavers and bandits out, rescued the rest of our people, left them in the hands of very capable dwarves, and are now on our way to their HQ!
The only thing I can think of is a full on healer. If you choose between arcane or divine that is up to you, but a healer would be nice!
You got the gold and feat. Or got gold and schematic.
For the 1,000gp spot, Ursrsk would like to find a mithril heavy shield.
They earn gold less frequently than most games I run. That should change as they head out, let alone planning to take down a town held by slavers and bandits.
I am fine with it but you are taking one level in each?
Dragons?!?
Also I would like everyone to reconfigure your skills using your actual class. You will get background skills too! Let me know if you have any questions.
Character build:
build a 3rd level eberron themed character!
We started off as simple villagers and then was infused with magic. The thing protecting the whole mountain and village was taken and now they must retrieve it.
They don't even know about Ebberon, as a very isolated village, due to the previous protections. They will be unraveling the mysteries of Eberron first hand when they get that far.
You were thinking of:
Paladin 1, Monk 1, Oracle 1.
Lawful Snark Idealism.
You would come in at 3rd level with a 20 point buy; I think that will match up with their stats roughly, it might change a bit we will see.
You are a farmer, a teacher, a student, a merchant or perhaps just an unfortunate slave. Things are about to turn to your favor, or out of it if you wanted the quiet life, and you are sent on a journey to discover your fate!
We will begin with your cover identities and get to crunches later. I want you to develop your character not their class. Your actions and descriptions will have an effect on your character for weal or woe.
Come join us one and all to Sanctuary. Where adventurers haven't been needed for over a decade.
I sure hope to see some siblings, aunts, uncles, and other family members too!!!
You know I look back at all of our wonderful players and notice that we have lost over a dozen of them.... most of them just didn't post again. It is frustrating how people just drop a game without even a word! ARGH!
Dragonborn?!? What are we waiting for Nightdeath?
Yeah I know, I can't be too mad with how everything is at the moment. Those before the outbreak obviously don't have this grace. But I always think that maybe they're embarressed.
Wolf, just throwing this out there. If you notice I haven't been posting for a week or so, one of three events have happened.
1> I'm in the hospital, unable to get online to post.
2> Society has fallen. Internet's down forever. Good luck surviving the apocalpse.
3> I am dead. Find me on facebook and send your regards.
will do Joe! That is pretty much me too!
Yeah I'm much the same, except don't try looking for me on face book. I got off that years ago! XD
This should be interesting...
Let's reroll that 2:
Also I have not decided on Amris's class any suggestions? I was first thinking fighter but knowing the group... maybe something else!
Bard, Barbarian, Rogue with a greatsword! I don't care what ever you guys want!
*Edit:
Oh wait I know what he will be!!! Eberron class... oh what is it called?!?! I found it on wiki: Artificer... now to see if artificer has martial proficiency
Barbarian may go well for him!
Also I'm still trying to figure out what would be best for this group. As Urdsrk took the 3k one, I want to pick the group on out again! ^_^
Solution: 1 level in a martial class! Then 2 levels in Artificer!
1 level Barbarian to get Rage, then 2 levels in artificer!... ;)
Nothing for sure yet...
POM you can jump in if you want! Or the next fight, but probably before the bandit camp... just saying, they aren't going to trust anyone there!
Scram aka POM is ready for action.
Assume 0 GP and just the clothes on her back and lots of pebbles gathered.
Don't worry Scram likely won't be seen by most
Take 10 for stealth 23.
Scram, I am confused. Why are you coming in with 0 gp?
At the moment you aren't going to be seen by anyone.
Round 3 is up.
lol you haven't told me how much gold I start with. So I'm gonna rob these robbers and get my gear.
Oh wait. I'm Actually good this time.
I meant to liberate the items from these robbers.
"Oh, what a pity!"
3rd level character comes in with... 3,000 gp of items...
a halfling that thinks she is a dragon... or wants to be a dragon.
With Maqan out of the picture for right now, we can finish up the combat and see where that leads us.
Thank you GM Wolf for taking over for me... I am so sorry for holding everyone up
No worries, you were sick. Wait, you still are sick! Get well!
As the creatures seemed to be resistant to your attacks, I went with spells instead. You might want to expend a shocking grasp on the biggie, that is what I was planning if you got back into melee.
Yeah, I haven't been able to keep food down but my fever is gone! I've just spelt so much my body doesn't understand why I should sleep more... I'll likely pass out again soon. Hopefully it'll be gone by tomorrow. My stomach bugs normally only last a day or two at most.
Will do. I'll try and help Urdrsk with his first then focus with magic on the big one!
Scram's items is
Oracle's Kit - 9gp
Handy Haversack - 2000gp
Wand of Cure Light Wounds - 750gp
I don't recall if I ever officially stated it, but I will be pulling amelia out as well. (though, at this point it likely won't be a big impact, and I'm sorry about that) I just can't get into the feel of the game. I tried, a lot. I had fun writing up some of the stuff I did for Amelia. I had a blast writing out the whole encounter in the mausoleum up in the mountain. But I'm not the greatest player at pushing something forward, as I always feel I'm rushing other people by doing so. I also don't like trying to push too much side stuff, as I don't want to slow down the main arc. All this compounded with my erratic schedule leads me to this decision as well.
I'd love permission to check in on the game every so often and see how things are going though.
I just remember checking the site after being gone for a couple days and seeing 40 posts XD
Also, please feel free to use Amelia as an NPC if you ever desire. Best wishes to everyone, and thank you for giving me the chance!
Amelia once you figure out your schedule you are welcome to come back. We have you staying with your brothers with the dwarves and the rest of the villagers.
I will leave you as active so you can see the updates.
We're not in the fight correct?
Is Amris healed by Scram's CLW before fight started?
Yes, Amris is healed by Scram's CLW before the fight, but he didn't move much seeing that there were no threats... I know, I didn't post it, sorry.
You don't have to be in the fight, but Saronis began to loot the dead bodies and the first one sprung up to attack him. Starting a new combat.
Okay cool! That is what I was a bit confused on.
Sorry, not trying to be. But if you are confused please ask so I can clarify!
I know! Which I why I ask! ^_^
Also I'm starting to think my characters are doomed to always have more then one love interest! XD
Seriously like in six of my game where my character has some form of romance there is always more then one suitor option! XD
Major props to Wolf and Maqan for leting my dwarf express his angst. Love how we can still have RP moments during our character's personal apocalpyses.
Hey man that is when the best rp moments happen! ^_^
XP You know I am here to please!
I can't hear anything!
I am deaf. rofl.
Sorry about that.
