[Outpost III][PACS] A Night at Bloodthorne Manor by BR Mhuirich Gameplay (Inactive)

Game Master Mhuirich

Organize here! Let me know what you prefer for game chat: Hangouts and Discord are popular but I'm flexible if something else works better.

Hey! Me personally, I prefer Hangouts, but that's just because I understand it. If someone shows me how to use Discord, I'm sure that's perfectly fine as well.

I'm good with either.

No preference here. BTW what is it used for. I am a newbie to OP but from reading other Campaign threads I was left with the impression most things are discussed in one of the two threads here.

Most games I've played in or run have an external channel; I think mostly to discuss play in real-time, or because chat programs are easier to use or more accessible than the forums. I'll use the discussion forum primarily to keep a record of character upgrades between scenarios, so that I have notes I can go back to when recording your Chronicle Sheets, and because you'll need to roll dice to who gets a reward if more than one player wants it.

I'll set up the Hangout for the game, since that seems to work for most. PM me the email address you use and I'll add you.

For me, it seems to help move the game along. Most people have them set up for notifications on their phone or computer. Players can post questions or let the next player know they are up. So others can see the message quickly with out having to check the forums to see if anything has happened in the game.

Any prep work we need to do before the 30th?

Everyone should make sure their decks are ready to go, and you have a way to track it during the game; I can see some of you have your deck handler linked to your profile which can be helpful for players to review what's in your deck. If you don't have a deck handler yet, I recommend Yewstance's (link in his profile).

Most games prefer players post once a day, if possible; with the state of the world, I'll be flexible about reminding players to take their turns. If you have a preference in turn order (some players characters work better going first or last) let me know; otherwise tell me your time zone and I'll set up the turns to follow the sun.

Otherwise, I'll have the intro posted in about 5 hours (midnight UTC), when you can post your starting location and opening hand, and we'll get started!

Mhuirich, I don't have access to the Hangouts yet, will that get done soon? Was there a problem with the ID I gave you?

Shnik, I've followed up with you via PM with a link to join.

I don't think I've seen an invite either.

I need an invite as well.

All right, that worked, thanks!

I hab´ve a question concerning the scenario rules:

During This Scenario: When you encounter a monster from a location, a local character summons and encounters a monster; the summoned monster gains the Undead trait and is immune to Mental and Poison.

IS this on top or instead the oroginal monster? And can we choose the local character?

Confirming what we addressed in the chat: yes, it is on top of the original monster, and yes, you can choose which local character encounters the summon.

2.) Roll a d20 to see if you get a convention boon.

I add an ally 1

Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 766

Also not yet sure if I raise Valeros tier.

3. Please add an Ally for me.

4. Deck Upgrades
Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 263
Item 0: 1d1000 ⇒ 627

Banking Hero Point and going up to Tier 2 for Radovan.

I'll select Item for my bonus card.

Will wait to see what upgrades are available before deciding and rolling.

Finally, Ultimate Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 18 => nope

Additional Draws
Droogami (Ally 1)
War Drum (Item 0)
Troubadour (Ally 0)
Sacred Candle (Item 1)

hmm so zetha selects his first item before my second correct? So I have to choose something else. And we are generally short on Level 1 Boons.

Radovan's upgrade choices and rolls:

Item 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 521
Ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 919
Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 61
Item 0: 1d1000 ⇒ 328

If I cannot get Ally 1 then Blessing 1woud be my third choice.

Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 293

Scenario D: Summary (so far)

Grazzle: Hero point banked, Tier up: No, Blessing 1, ???
Radovan: Hero point banked, Tier up: Yes, Item 1, Item 0
Valeros: Hero point banked, Tier up: ???, Weapon 1, Blessing 1
Zetha: Hero point banked, Tier up: ???, Ally 1, Item 0

Grazzle ended up without a second upgrade after the rolls are done. There is currently Weapon 0, Item 0, Ally 0, and Item 0 available.

Valeros and Zetha still need to make decisions on tiering up.

I'm good without a 2nd choice.

Zetha will not tier up; sorry for the omission.

Switching Crow for Riftwarden and Scrying Mirror for Potion of Healing.

Choose one of your characters. That character gains the power When you encounter a monster, you may recharge 2 random cards to evade it, then move to a random other location.

Can I really choose a charcter or does it have to be Valeros?

You can choose any character, doesn't have to be your current one.
