Love the idea! I'm in a Pathfinder in the modern world game and we are using modern languages. My character was the only one that knew one of the languages used by a group of kobolds, French I think.... I don't know the language but used Google to translate to French, then posted the translation in a spoiler. I felt that it added a lot to the game.
Can a page be added to the spreadsheet for languages used and what they represent? Hebrew for Celestial? ???? for Abyssal?
I just used french for elvish :D claimed! lol
Here's a link to a language list we can use, if people want. Our GM could link it info the campaign info at the top of every page if he wants. The languages in parenthesis are ones of used in the past, but we can change them if anyone wants. The regional/cultural ones were chosen for cultural similarities, the other ones were mostly just picked for aesthetics. The ones not in parenthesis are the ones that we've already agreed on (or 'called')
I expect Caliban to shoot Junior down.
TO be completely honest, I don't much care, what do other campaigns use for elvish? I'm flexible :D
Perhaps, there Junior, I'm formulating a response
French is good. I even remember some words from back when I knew a little bit of it. Not enough to understand.
I have no problems with calling a language, especially if you’re it’s only native speaker! In the past I’ve used Finnish for Elven, just because I know Tolkien was inspired somewhat by Finnish when working on his elven languages, but French works too.
I think using French for Elvish gives Caliban's internal thoughts a rakish swashbuckler feel that is rather charming. :)
That's a cool idea for Finnish as well, I was really hoping to find an actual Tolkien translator, but all I could find were pictures of the words, which didn't work and it was too much work to get the syntax correct. :D
I can easily switch it to Finnish then if you prefer, I chose french since it is the only other language I know, and to my mind fits the elven paradigm. Just let me know which you prefer!
@Junior, it's short, but depressing... Got to play up that Forlon background trait!

I can't claim credit for the sheet. My friend in another game made it. I'll get images on the sheets once I'm off mobile. On each individual page there is a section for coin, wealth, carry capacity, and items.
In coin just enter the number of each coin you have. Wealth totals will populate automatically. As will Weight Totals. If you want the sheet to figure your encumbrance enter your mac carry capacity for heavy, medium, and light.
In items you'll list the name of the item, the value of one of the items in GP and the weight of one item, and the quantity you posses. You can select its location if you want, if you select stashed it will not reflect on your weight totals.
I don't think there are any wands but you would note the number of charges in the quantity column and the price per charge in the value column.
Can I vote Pig-Latin for Orc?
I’m for letting Caliban pick what to use for Elven, but if he’s ok with switching to Finnish for Massielo’s sake I’ll switch it on the sheet.
@Junior
Tristan just wanted to thank you in advance...lol!
Will do! thanks :D Finnish it is.
Alright, switched it on the sheet. Also, here's the plain text link to make it easier for the GM (or anyone else) to link it somewhere.

Actually, I'll link it in my banner, that way it'll always be fairly available in gameplay.
When I get home, I can link it also. Cannot access it at work.
I second the GM's vote for Pig-Latin for orc! Too funny!!!
I studied Tolkien’s Elvish in college as part of a Humanities class, but unfortunately there aren’t enough words to translate most things. Finnish is awesome because for the most part it’s an independent language and it doesn’t look like anything else.
@ Caliban
I was researching Inquisitor Spell list. I noticed this spell paired with Mirror Image would be a sweet combo! They are both on your list too...lol.
Much better for you, I would think, because of Spell Combat.
Dang I’ll have to check that out!
Should be editable now with just the link.

I filled in my tab on the loot page but for some reason none of the weight/wealth totals updated at all... did I do something wrong?

It looks like the calculations need the Quantity column filled in to work properly!

@GM Moiki
How far do you want us to post? Do we have the morning, the day, the time until tomorrow noon?
Do you want us to find each other?
Tristan; having just arrived, would be expected to present himself at the Inquisitor Office. He would then attempt to find lodgings...
@Junior
Thank you!
Thats right.
I forgot to talk about the party reports, which should intereste Mioki more than anyone. It lists everyone's wealth and their percentage of wealth by level. It also list their loads. Right now its a little wonky because we're at level 1. The party's level is also changed on this page. Wealth also includes a share of the party treasure.

You can have your character do whatever makes sense for today, tonight, and tomorrow morning. Feel free to create NPC's to interact with. I might add something if I can.
If characters want to meet and have a big jammin' tavern party tonight, go for it. I think Junior is half way there. Sounds like he really wants to get lucky.
By noon tomorrow, just be in Clydwell Plaza. No big reason, might have some candy for you.

Addendum:
I hope to give the inital AP post on Saturday, late morning/early afternoon, if all your characters could be at the Plaza by a Friday night post, that would be greaaaaaaate.
What Inn and District is this party?
I'd guess we're in the Gate district, as that seems where travelers and those with little coin in their pockets would find a room. Anyone got a bright idea for the name of the Inn?
I had a list at one point, don't know what I did with it.
Stumble Inn
There is a place in New York State called the Stickitt Inn.
And they served Stickitt Inn Cider.
I noticed that several people had a future gear wishlist in their profile, so I added one too.

This allows me to make the game more fun for the player. Finding that sword you always wanted. I gives me ideas to change out things in the adventure.

There's a famously small eatery near here called the Squeeze Inn.
Maybe the inn is named after some local history? Like maybe "The Silver Dragon"?
@Mioki: There's a yearly event in December near here called the Dickens Fair, kind of like a Renaissance Faire but set in the Victorian era. Anyway, over in the docks district they always serve Hot Dickens Tea and Hot Dickens Cider. :)
@Tristan: I was thinking Benedic could return to the temple just after you have finished presenting yourself to Hulrun (I assume we are there and not St Clydwell Cathedral). My story plan is for Benedic to say that he believes there is some suspicious activity going on at the nameless inn, and that someone should bring the owners in for questioning. Since it is getting close to evening, perhaps the prelate will ask Benedic to show Tristan around the complex first, and then to investigate however Benedic thinks best. Does that sound ok to you?
@Benedic I think that a great idea. I was torn as to which one would have the Inquisitors Office. It sounded as if the Temple would be it. Tristan would appreciate the tour of this Office in action!
Hello,
If you all are enjoying getting to know each other, and you do not think you will be able to accomplish everything you want by tonight, I can hold off on the actual AP.
I know some players enjoy what I like to call a Prelude. This allows you to develop the character without following the AP progression.
If I do not hear back, I will assume you are all ready to start the AP tomorrow and will be in Clydwell Plaza by tonight.
Cheers!

This is a great way to get the feel of our characters. I am enjoying stretching out the old legs a bit, but, I am aiming at getting Tristan there by tonight...lol.
I’m guessing/assuming that I can’t actually join a band of crusaders since we’re about to start an AP and all. I’m enjoying the RP but we can skip to a ‘they have a lovely walk around the temple but nobody wants to sign up a 90 pound girl’ post whenever we need to.

Feel free to create NPC's and have a whole ceremony indoctrinating Greta, if you want. She just needs to be in the Plaza at noon tomorrow. In real time - tonight.
This would make some good drama when all of her brethren have a tragic demise . . . err . . . I mean die of old age, comfortable in their beds.

Lol- thanks for the offer but I already lost most of my family so making and losing crusader buddies might be overkill. (Plus, I like the idea that she’s trying to prove herself and doesn’t usually get taken seriously and if they just sign her up that easily it kind of undoes a lot of that.)
I seem to be jumping ahead in time a bit, sorry. Feel free to narrate things around my posts, before or after as you like!
I was laughing because your timing was perfect actually!
Ok. I think that I done did the Treasure Sheet correctly? Junior, any bets?
