GM Treppa's War for the Crown

Game Master Treppa

Yeppers,

It IS 'tehsux', for sure.
(No matter HOW it turns out) :(

And thanks, I accept any and all well-wishes, prayers & happy thoughts! :)

Yes, best wishes. That sounds awful.

Can you give the elevator pitch on the concept, Tilnar?

Better Pitch

Well, I knew what I meant, I just needed to put it into useful words others could understand.

So... not sure how to say this, but I completely and totally forgot about this game, and it hasn't even started yet. D:

After the audit's wrapped up this week I should be able to get a character going, but if you guys want to get started before that, please don't let me hold you back. :)

I am crunched this week until Thursday mid-morning (and still after that, but not on a hard schedule. I don't want to start then do nothing for a few days, so I'll do the initial post Thu/Fri.

Sorry about the delay. I mean, it's 9 pm and I'm just getting started doing some work that needs to be done before our 6 am start tomorrow. One of those weeks.

Oh I'm right with you!
It's, what, 9:30pm here? I JUST finished typing up a list (stuff people want to get rid of, but because it has state ID tags it HAS to go through Inventory Control, cant just toss it in the dumpster, THAT would be too easy!) :P
Need to get my backstage cleared out in a week. Got a week-long musical rental moving in right after finals, and I can't fit their stuff backstage right now! :)

And,... I got emailed today, time for my 'follow up' meeting for that little, 'talk' I had with my new boss exactly a week ago.
>_<

Yeah,... It'll either be fine,... or,... less than fine.
Guess i'll find out tomorrow! :P

(Either way, I'll be having a drink after. Or three.)

In short, yeah, not making a new toon today. Sorry. ;P

I approve of the drinking.

And hope that tomorrow's meeting (by which I now mean yesterday's) went well (or as well as it could)

Thank you for that,

Meh, as well as it could go, Actually.
Without it all vanishing completely forever. (Which it SHOULD have) :P

Short, non-spoiler version, I think a certain someone was just ticked off and trying to get me fired. But they went overboard. They listed SO many complaints (after never having ONE filed on me in 13 years! which says a lot I think.) That the big-wigs basically said, 'Even if we believe that some of these are real, (And they never said they did or didn't) we cant tell which ones, so we are not officially accusing you of any of them'.

What I DO end up with is a paper in my personnel file, saying that at one point these concerns were listed against me, and no proof was found. BUT I will have people watching over my shoulder to see if it happens again. :P

(Which to ME says, 'We believe you, this time. But if it happens again, then it will prove the first time was real.') O_o

Seven. More. Years. to. Full. Retirement. >_<

(I'm hosed. I can NOT keep my mouth shut for 7 years. Although I intend to try!) ;P

Meh. I'm gonna stop there. That pretty much sums it up anyway.
Welcome to the NEW normal, same as the OLD normal,...! ;)

I don't think you necessarily need to keep your mouth shut for 7 years, Rags. They're just looking out for themselves to make sure that you didn't pull the wool over their eyes, which has certainly been an issue in the past.

That said, making friends with the new boss so they understand that you're a little eccentric wouldn't be the worst thing.

Sounds like things went about as well as they could, Rags. Glad to hear it.

And you're a theater person. You're supposed to be eccentric.

Yes i AM supposed to be eccentric! And proud of it! ;P

(Actually, coming up for an audition for a local production of 'Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder' And I am going to audition for the guy who plays 8 different people, all of whom die!) ;)

Buuuut,... well, let's just ignore what it REALLY was, and say that I am dealing with persons who are like my X-wife,...

No matter WHAT I say, (or in some cases, did not say!) deliberately misunderstand and twist anything I say around until while they MIGHT be 'paraphrasing' me, it is nothing like what I may have actually uttered or meant. :P

I repeat, I can get into trouble ALL by myself, I do NOT need any help!
:(

Yeah, making friends with the new boss BEFORE this might have helped. Now? Meh, I think it's too late. Despite his protestations of 'Nothing decided, no charges, etc', I think they've already made up their minds. Now they just play the waiting game. Eventually I will say something stupid.(Harmless, but stupid)
And that will be all the proof they need. :P

In the meantime, I have a stage to run.
And did I mention that I'm going to audition for "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" ?!?
Nothing like hamming up 8 different deaths on stage in a single show for stress relief!
;)

I saw A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder on Broadway. It is a great show.

I liked it when I only heard the soundtrack, Now that I've seen bits and pieces of it via videos on the youtubes,
I REALLY like it! ;P

ARGH!

Sorry, crazy at work,... end up working (physically) on stage all day, and then on PC when I get home at night.

Totally not fair, but there you go. :P

S'okay. Oladon is working up a character, so I'm not pushing this yet.

I think I've given up on vigilante... seems too complicated. With that, I'm now pursuing the Porthos line of thought.

Brawler?

Mebbe. Kinda liking the Dandy Ranger...

Intro post is up.

Feel free to know each other already if you like, or meet at the club. I'll take it slow for those still building characters. You don't have to have stats complete to RP the intro.

Was going to ask what day it actually was -- (i.e. - is said meet tonight)?

Pshaw. We can outdo that.

Seriously

We will not be outdone.

So redheads start in bed?

Haha. I would say there are more than a few common themes in Auguste and Dawnilea's intros.

I hope this party will not be expected to adventure in the morning hours.

♪♫ Tra la, it's May, the lusty month of May... ♫♪

So redheads start in bed?

So it seems. It's our compensation for not having souls.

Though Dawni was at least sleeping it off after having already done her walk of shame. ;)

So far, so good... ;)

Thaddeus is on his way.

Would anyone be upset if Thaddeus turns out to be an Aasimar? I've never done one 'cause of their reputation for being OP, but it kinda seems like it could fit the silly "over the top" theme we've been discussing.

I don't see the problem with being an Aasimar - we're not in Cheliax, so I doubt there'd be too much concern about it. Then again, I'm not the GM.

Don't see an issue with it. I think PF flattened out some of the planar types from how they were in 3.5.

Alias created — build being finalized. :)

Hey, the new posts were not showing up in my threads again. :(

I JUST finished a 14 hour day loading in and rehearsing a musical (SPongebob, the musical) ;P SO I may be unavailable most of the week. Certainly not my usual novel-length posts.

But I will catch up!

EDIT- One version of my swashy-cleric was an Aasimar, I say go for it! I'll most likely go human., (That 1 extra early feat is hard to turn down!) ;)

Almost done... just feat & traits left.

When I was toying around with the swashy cleric, human was a must. Having to burn a feat on weapon finesse right off the bat is a little less painful that way.

Bonus feat at 1 is so crazy necessary for a lot of builds... unless you want to hide behind everyone 'til level 3. ;)

So, whaddya say, Rags. Once things calm, down, of course.

I mean, at least some of the cool kids are doing it.

Do we have a Disabler of Devices yet? I'm guessing we're going to need to pick some locks.

In other news, I've selected my feat and just need my traits! And maybe high-level background.

I think we were generally thinking it was going to be you, based on the potential vigilante-ness (and/or urban ranger).

How convenient! Now I just have to convince our DM to let me take this trait...

All built!

Can't disarm magical traps, but who needs that anyway...

Yeah that much I managed to figure out. ;P

SO many feats, SO few slots,... :P

We've certainly got the drinking and debauchery down pat. Excellent start!

Rags, if you have an avatar and can at least make an introductory color post, we can move along. I know, crazy life. Or I could move the others to the club and you can join them. Your characters *do* seem to arrive late to dinner.

LOL, yes they do.
;P

Sorry, but I AM actually busy. Just opened my first-in-a-year-rental show tonight, (Kids show of "Spongebob, the musical" Yes. Its a thing) ;P

And trying to line up the paperwork for the rest of the summer. :(
(I dislike this new electronic-only process. But not my call.)

It IS 11pm here, buuuuut,... let me sip my evening tea, and see what I can come up with,...
(To be fair, there IS some competition going on for 'Bestest Firstest Post!') ;P

Do itttt! Go Rags!

Since we already have an Aasimar, I'm going with my human, dexy-swashy-cleric, Emiliano. :)

He can ALMOST transfer straight over, although I DO need to pick new traits, and tweak his skills.

Is that alright? I can update his character sheet (I'll call him 'Emiliano Diego Thanos the 2nd' or something)

:)

You can be an Aasimar too if you want! The more, the merriersparklier!

LOL, :)

I am not going to be able to complete the toon changeover tonight.
TOO many things to update, background, traits, etc. :P

But I think I have an idea for my firstest postest,... ;)

Man,... even trying to decide between the two toons is hard.
Diego IS more swashy-fighty, but I think hes not a 20 pt buy. Which puts a crimp in his dex once adjusted,... :P
(IF I'm right. Honestly I'm too tired to math right now) ;P

OK. It is midnight now.
Just a little more,... :)

OK< I'mprobably goinmg to ask fo rhelp. Tomorrow, It is FAR too late here! (I need sleep! I have to get UP in 2-1/2 hours!)
;P

The more I tweak him, the worse he looks (To me)
Swapping traits for this AP makes him lose both acrobatics and bluff as class skills, so he is already far less swash-buckly than before.

Tilnar, I may you to run me/him through teh maker-program and see if I cant tweak him a bit better?

Nighters!
