This is for all out of character discussion!

The Gameplay thread is up, and I have the first post up.

Are we going to recruit a one or two more players? We have four now, right?

I thought we were still at 5 players. If not, I'll see about getting 1 or 2 more.

I believe that there are just four of us. Me, Ionnis, Gorum, and Quen Pah. I feel like Danny Ocean, "You think we need one more? You're right, we'll get one more..."

We'll see what you guys want to do when everyone hops in.

More is merrier, but I'm cool with the small group. Maybe see if we can poach one or two more folks if you're okay with that?

Godbodkins, I am liking the new batch of Unearthed Arcana Feats, which help eliminate the willy-nilly dips of multiclassing. I hope that many of them make it to the new book that is coming out at the end of the year. You know the one that is supposed to address the racial bonuses and that I suspect has the class options from an earlier UA.

I'm personally hoping that Stone sorcery makes it into that book. It's my favorite sorcerer subclass.

Alright Gorum is updated.

Yeah, I was disappointed that it was not revisited. I can only hope that it is being intended for a future book...

If you all are cool with proceeding with 4, I am okay with that too.

I read the new UA, I dont really like it/

There's some I like and some I don't like. What I do like is the ability to use a feat to avoid multiclassing. It helps to give the ability to have additional training that to give that flavor of a specialize case. (i.e. A College of Valor bard learning a fighting style, A wizard that largely relies on knowledge, but makes a minor pact for a little boost, etc.)

Of course, nothing would happen without an in game reason, and in my campaigns a downtime training montage! ;)

Of course, they ARE in playtest, so we will get a chance to give feedback. I think I would tweak a few here and there.

The one that I miss, though, was the old Spear Mastery feat. The spear gets the shaft (pun intended) and it would be nice to either have a Martial weapon version of the spear that holds in line with the other Versatile weapons (1d8/1d10) but maybe takes away the thrown property (much like the Spartan doru) OR have a way for a Spear fighter to catch up, so to speak with the damage average of Battleaxe, Longsword, and Warhammer wielders...

So from a balance stand point, the adding of spells to your prepared a stable spells as well as on es a day is strong compared to some other abilities that are similar. I think 5 e needs to work hard to keep the power creep under control.

Just need to get a consensus from the group about whether I'm recruiting or not.

I think folks want to roll with the 4 we got.

Okie dokie. I'll get a post up this evening.

I dont like rhat they.are mingling what makes casters unique though. I mean, sorcerers were designed in 5e to be the metamagic ckass.

I think it would be cool to get another person or two. Some fresh blood to interact with in the party, I’m good with the majority vote though.

To be fair, you only get 2 sorcery points, so every long rest, that is about 1 use... You also do not get Font of Magic, so 2 is all you get until your long rest is up.

Honestly, new blood would be cool, but it would mean putting off our start for another week, at least. If DM Skyreaver has any friends that might want to jump in that we can avoid the recruitment period, that could be a possibility as well.

Anyway, I am cool with proceeding, and maybe picking up another member after this module... Which I am down to run, if need be.

True but that kinda takes away what makes sorcerers and the warlock, with the invocation feat, unique.

I don't agree. I believe it is there to be a vehicle to facilitate concepts. What if you wanted to reflect a bloodline that was special, but you did not want to go full sorcerer? I think this kind of thing is perfect for the character like a Harry Potter, or something like a prodigy.

I guess it just depends on your gaming philosophy. If no one is playing a Sorcerer, who cares that someone (who is not a Sorc) has metamagics?

All I would require is that there is an in-game reason to have it.

(That being said, some of these feats are RIFE for abuse and optimization...)

Yeah, it was bound to happen... took a little longer, but it will always happen. I do like AL's PHB+1 rule to try and keep the combos from getting too nuts.

We have to figure out how re opening is going to look for us.

So many districts and cities trying to figure that out right now. I'm helping build a set of courses geared entirely towards teachers working remotely because of the pandemic (which is to say, everyone is scrambling). I've heard some interesting ideas, but none of them seem safe to me :-(

True. Hopefully, all you teachers can work magic, since that is what the Gubment expects of you all.

It feels like they want you to fail so that the Ed Secretary can push her private school agenda... :(

Best of luck, and I truly mean that...

Woof... Be safe!

On another point, the survey for the feats UA are up! Now is the time to make your thoughts heard regarding the playtest material!

It is not safe, I have already contacted my school board rep and the Union about my concerns.

If I disappear for a bit, it's because we are out of internet service. We are supposed to be hit by a hurricane today, so we might lose a bit.

Feel free to bot me if necessary...

We dodged a bullet. Hurricane Douglas moved up North and just clipped us. We have had some heavy rains, but the winds were really mild, with the exception of the North Shore...

Game on!

@GM, are we waiting on someone to act? Is everything okay over there? Haven't heard from you in a while...

We should set a timeframe. How long do you all want to give DM Vrog? I am thinking another week...

At that time, we can figure our how we want to proceed.
