Yup discussion here. ;)
Honestly I am just putting NPCs before you. You get to choose which ones go with you and how to persuade them to go with you.
Great! I didn't get notified of this because I hadn't dotted.
Been busy?
No worries. Yes actually, the last few days have been full of helping family and spending time with family. My grandparents are up and add more to the chores, let alone more time dedicated to family. Also with all that work I got home last night and just crashed.
That is one thing I miss with all this Covid-stuff. Can't see family as much as I want. On top of that, my mother works with the COVID patients, so we're extra careful. Can't wait for this all to be over.
Happy Father's Day if you are a dad!
Hopefully you can see her soon! Yeah COVID really has not impacted my family at all. We are so lucky, we pretty much stay home and shop when we need to. My inlaws live 300 feet away from my family, then my folks are 45 minutes away. They are self quarantining and we shop for them.
Thanks, I actually am. My little boy is almost 2.
YUP that is much better, good call!
I think your last post summed it up nicely or is that the introduction paragraph?
Also at the moment I feel a bit uninspired.
I didn't think we needed to do every little thing, unless you wanted to. I'm in no hurry. If you are feeling uninspired, just let me know when you are. It's not good to have a Gm uninspired when telling a story. I would suggest a healthy evening of movies, fantasy shows, or period pieces.
Great Inspirations: Underworld, Moana, 14 Blades, The Princess Bride, Harry Potter, The Hobbit + Lord of the Rings, Book of Eli, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, The Neverending Story, The Great War, The Scorpion King, Hercules, Count of Monte Cristo, Mowgli, and Moving Art (just for natural stuff) to name a few. I think all of these are okay for all age groups to watch (except maybe Book of Eli)
Yeah those sound great! I would also add Stardust!
I haven't seen that one!
So do you want me to do another recap or do you want to RP it all out?
You can do another recap if you want
You should also add 2 background skills. Likely profession innkeeper and .... Cooking? Hehehehe you get to choose, I am just suggesting.
Strong Family Ties
Your family is extremely important to you, and you feel disheartened when you can’t do what they ask.
Check out this drawback!
Oh this one seems practically like you!
Exposed to Awfulness
Yup! I saw these ones. That Exposed to Awfulness is definitely close. I went with the black blooded though as it is a more evil curse and goes with the class. For backgrounds, I took Alchemy (as that's what she did for the mage) and profession innkeeper.
Sounds good!
Sorry I had family around the last two days and it has been exhausting. I will be camping for six days and I don't know if there will be wifi or even if I will have signal.
Alright, thanks for letting me know. Have fun and stay safe.
It was fun, though honestly I would have preferred to stay home. Alas I married into a family of campers and fishermen.
I can understand. You'd rather prefer a lodge?
A lodge would have been nice. Still I am a real homebody. We were in campers which are nice, definitely better than tents.
Yeah, that's not too bad. :)
Do you mind if I bring in another player or two. It will likely be a duo that are connected to your dream.
I have a week of family, my folks and sister this weekend, then down the coast to have some beach feet with my wife's family. I should get at least a post each day but know that I will likely be posting a lot less.
That's okay, I know how that goes. It can be hard to post when lots of people are consuming your time. Your posts don't have to be huge either. ;) Even a single sentence, when you are away on your phone, is enough to keep most games going haha. To confess, I've had to do that in a bathroom once or twice!
Was I wrong to rant to all my games?!
Nah. It pisses me off when people make characters just to make characters and join a game that says to post once a day and then post every 3-7 days. If I was a GM, I would boot that person so fast and re-recruit. I don't put up with stuff like that.
If I'm going to take the time out of my day to prepare a game, and you join it, you all better have the curtesy to follow instructions. It's on par of someone joining a live weekend group and then never shows up, or shows up only once every few weeks. It kills your story, it kills your encounters, and it kills it for other players.
I just want to quit games that post stupidly slow when the GM wants them to post 1/day. If you look in the recruitment thread, there are people who make a character to join almost every single game. I never would let a single one of those people into one of my games. You have two of these in your most recent campaign. Guess who posts the least? They are so spread out they can't post every day, and so they are the worst of the worst; even if they are great roleplayers.
I think part of the problem is people don't have time to read and feel they need to respond with massive posts. It takes 2 seconds to read all the posts in between the last post you made and the one you are making if you post every day. When you've read all the posts, you don't need a paragraph for each person who spoke to you. Even a silent reaction from your character is better than just not posting. Out of all the frustrations I have on pbp, post-rate is my biggest. Second to players repetitively not reading the posts of everyone else and then glory hoarding.
Yeah I hear yeah! I am glad its not just me!
Double check Matt's most recent post, I edited it several times.
Sorry, I am getting my class all set up, and have school Friday. I have not been posting as much as I had hoped and will get to it as soon as I am able.
Can you explain Matthew's post a bit more?
Is Matthew really gone, or is this a vision?
I'm confused because you used "thought" brackets as it seems like something is speaking to her. So is he really gone and she should be freaking out, or is this a vision and you are using first-person text?
In regards to the potion, am I correct in saying that it's this potion that is leading Nicolette toward these reliefs? Now that she has come in sight of the last relief before the stone door, and sensed to touch it, now the power of the potion is fading?
I am sorry it was not clear. I kept trying to reword it and failed. I also should have posted it as the DM.
It was a vision, actually they both are visions. You can now act as you wish. I personally would be freaking out even with them as visions.
The potion brought you to the first relief but you are pretty sure Pelor had his hand in making the feeling stronger.
You could ask Loarin about the potion, but you are pretty sure the magic of the potion is fading.
Level up! You are halfway to 3rd now.
Alright
Level up is done.
I'm just letting you know that for the next few days I'm going to be out of town. Afterward, I may have some crazy times to play catch-up with my store. Also, it seems like the laptop I use is on the way out, so it may be even longer if I get stuck without it working. I'll try to keep posting on my phone.

Ok, good to know!
Poke
Sorry, there was no real service up where I was. I couldn't post.
No worries, just giving you a little poke... next would have been a prod.
Any suggestions on magical items or other items that should be in the library? I will let you pick 3 that are 2,500 gp or less and 3 that are 500 gp or less. I will pick one of each for Loarin and Matthew. Unless you get to it first! XP
