Please post and ooc discussion here.
Hello all!!!
Excited to play an old classic.
I still need to put my familiar's stats and my spellbook in my profile.
Thank you for inviting me to join. I look forward to experiencing these classic modules.
This will be fun
Ok I am setting up a Roll20 game for combat. Please create a free account if you don't have one and join the game below.
Hey, I'm a rookie at roll20.
I am already in one roll20 campaign.
Is it possible to set up multiple avatars for different games?
Seems like it has to be, I just don't see it at first glance.
Or do you, as gm, set up the tokens/avatars for the characters?
Once you have joined the game and I have transferred control of one of the character profiles, then you can input an avatar pick and I can get a group of minis to choose from.
If you want to change your name for the game then go to the settings tab (that's the gear) and change the Profile name to your character.
I have ducked into roll20.
Hey. Real life.
I live in a 3 generation home.
This last weekend, both of the youngest generation (one is 2 the other just had her first birthday) got sick. So did their mom. Monday so did their dad. Somewhere in there, grandma got sick, too. Now I'm sick. At least the youngest seems to be over it.
If you need to bot me to keep things moving, please do.
I'm sorry, but I'm not even managing to focus to play spades on my phone right now, and that's amazingly brainless.
I hope you and your family feel better soon. I will bot you if need be.
Everyone please go onto Roll20 and choose a figure. And please make a note as to which Roll20 ID you are so I can sinc a character sheet for you. I have done a few but I don't know all of them.
OK, Daniel S on roll20 and I marked the figure I wanted for Alistair.
Yep done Alistair
Ebixus can use the rightmost icon on the upper row for "humans" since is looks shiny and has a greatsword
All picked. LRS
The generic post to share before attempting to recovery post:
So, I got the flu. Not really over it, yet, but past the worst of it.
I went to get tested to verify it was flu, and the care providers went down the "better safe than sorry hole" a might to far, in my opinion.
Standard questions, designed to check for other, deeper concerns/problems, right? "Do you have any tightness in your chest?" "I've been coughing for about three days at this point, yes, I have a tightness in my chest!" So, they stopped everything about verifying the flu in order to check for a heart attack. Thing is, my fever had just started to break, and I was not only DRENCHED in sweat, but I was still actively sweating that hard. They couldn't get a good EKG read because the contact stickers wouldn't. Stick, I mean.
They called an ambulance and transferred me to an ER, to make sure I wasn't having a heart attack. The ER team was focused on EXACTLY one thing, for obvious reasons. First thing they did different? They took that super medical tape and taped the sensors down. EKG told them almost immediately that there was no heart attack going on. I was still in that ER for nearly 15 hours . . ..
IV fluids. Roughly 2.4 liters of fluid pushed into my system. Breathing treatment. Seems when I arrived in the ER, my O2 saturation was around 82. They started to admit me in order to watch my O2 saturation levels, but after I sat in their ER for that long without any further dips, they accepted it might not still be required and discharged me instead of continuing to wait for a room. Having an asthmatic wife means we have a nebulizer at home, and that helped sell the release, too. Still spending more time asleep than awake, for now.
Missed a couple of Santa gigs the family had lined up. Went to a photoshoot with a family yesterday. I was there for about 10 minutes, just needing to sit and smile, but I stumbled into the house when I got home, completely exhausted. I'm supposed to go get caught in a neighbor's house tonight. Very worried about going. Just as worried about denying their kids.
Naji, I hope you continue to recover and start feeling better soon. I got a nasty cold 25 or so years ago, when I was in college, that turned into pneumonia. I've been susceptible to it ever since. Just keep an eye that things don't get worse.
Merry Christmas to all.
Hey guys. Back and ready to go.
Hey.
First, I owe everyone apologies for vanishing without a word. I've come back to try to apologize for doing so, and to let you know that I have no idea when I'll be able to meaningfully return.
That's as far s anyone needs to read. If you're curious, you are free to keep going, though.
Why did I vanish? My wife had started an evaluation of her knees, scheduled to run for about 2 months. First appointment was on a Monday. Late that same Thursday we were told the evaluation was over and they were going to schedule her for a full knee replacement in her worse leg. We found out that next Monday that surgery was that Thursday, a week after we were told she would be having surgery.
I took some sick leave to help her through the surgery and earliest recovery stages. I've been working half days, taking sick leave for the rest, for the past couple of weeks, trying to keep her from doing too much with the live-in grand kids and doing her exercises, with only partial luck.
She's doing her exercises while I type, and the grand kids are down for their naps. Today is going to be the last day I PLAN to do the half-day thing. Thing is, even having been home so much more than normal, I've been going non-stop. We were two weeks past her surgery before I even got into the office where my computer sits, and we're over three weeks past it now and I've had to steal the time to let people know what's going on.
I don't know how long it will be before I can reasonably expect the leisure time to properly contribute to these games again. I am sorry for vanishing, but I have to focus on my wife's actual needs before I play.
Sorry to hear that.
I hope your wife has a speedy recovery.
We understand and I hope your wife improves quickly.
I hope she gets well soon. My sister has had operations on her knee, it is not a fun procedure.
Alistair, did you apply the bonus from intense spell onto every missile? Because it applies only once per spell. Also how is a maximised toppling magic missile a 1st level spell?
Sorry just noticed maximise rod. But you know you only have to use that when you cast the spell? That + magical lineage explains 1st level magic missile. Sorry
No problem, but you are right about the +3...I had done it for each missile, not just once, so I guess the damage would be 28 points, I believe...meta-magic always takes me a bit to figure out....so no worries!! I like to have others check to make sure I am doing it right :-)
