Also making a discussion thread~
My first post!
I hope everyone is ready for a good game!
Hello there! Getting my post up soon, might be in a bit. Anyone heard from Poly?
I haven't.
Actually, Poly,when you get here I think there's a holdover from when your character was submitted to the other WotR campaign. You have Celestial Servant as your feat but it's aasimar only.
Not that I absolutely got curious and read through both of your characters lol
Hi! I dotted and deleted in gameplay so this would show up in my tabs.
I thought I changed that feat on submission, but that's an oops! When I made the alias I was making a bunch of changes that unfortunately got erased when I submitted. I will fix that ASAP. Thanks for catching it.
I'll get a post up by the end of the day.
The only reason I even noticed it is because I almost did the exact same thing when I updated from aasimar to human.
I got that, Khry lol
I just didn't want to post again until Poly is able to.
Wasn’t sure, so I figured I’d say it just in case you were waiting for me or something.
Speaking of, is there a way we could potentially get a discord for this game started? I have one for each of my two games, and it’s honestly a lifesaver as far as communication and all that.
Y'all are welcome to have some more interaction before Raban pops in. It's been a busy day at work and I haven't had my usual time to sit down at lunch to compose something thoughtful. So it will be in the evening!
There we go. Thanks for the patience. Raban has joined the party.
Welcome! Don’t worry, life happens.
Wowee! That was well worth the wait.
I believe we’re waiting on your response, good sir Gadlan. Figured we could get some roleplay introduction in before we start for real.
Yeah, every time i tried to write something, something came up. That took me all morning to finally get down.
I just wanted to point out that Gad was about to use detect evil on Khry with this line "Something just seemed off about this particular gnome."

Yeah let's not do that quite yet lol
Let me prove my commmitment to the cause first at least!
I am trying to find a way to play a character with a Charisma of 6 who nonetheless gets scaling bonuses to diplomacy and intimidate. I may make a course-correction as I explore this character more, but he introduced himself to me while writing as loud and boisterous. I imagine his behavior as not being repellent or rude necessarily, but as sort of creating a sphere of force around him from which others might initially be vexed.
I think I'm going to have fun with this guy.
Yeah, I hadn't really imagined Gad being this, idk, immature? But he just kind of went that way. Sometimes characters want to be written a certain way and no matter what you do, they just course correct.
One of my favorite things about writing is feeling like I have less direct control. Characters reveal themselves to us, and we can either let them be themselves or become hackneyed.
I'm really enjoying the dynamics so far! What will happen when the demons inevitably attack?
I'm trying to present her as standoffish and suspicious, but not entirely like a goth teenager. Hopefully I can get that point across well enough.
Good ol 109-year old goth teen.
Excellent idea using Druidic! She has a lot more truthful respect for you now. We Druids have to stick together, you know.
I should be able to get a post up this afternoon. It's killing me not to click those two druid spoilers.
Khry & Raban: "We have mutual respect for each other."
Gad & Olapa: "Did we just become best friends?"
Just wanted to check in.
Same. I think that we as the players are satisfied with our introductions to each other and ready to move on to some action.
I need you two to get your acts together and submit to the Strange Aeons so we can try to have another game together.
I'm working on my character right now actually. I hope we can find someone to run this game for us again, I was really looking forward to playing this character. Sad.
I have some work to do this evening, but my Deaf halfling oracle of the shadows should make an appearance tomorrow.
Well, I really liked our little intro.
I appear to have found a GM for us actually. I think he’ll be creating a separate game thread for his version, and I’ll be running something for him in exchange.
We’re back on!
Seriously?
edit: I just saw the whole conversation, That's awesome!
Huzzah!
Hello, I am the aforementioned willing GM. I’m super busy today so I’m trying to sneak in little posts between things, but I wanted to say hi. I am planning to start a new thread (since that’s easier than claiming someone else’s old one) but before I do I wanted to mention that I do tweak things a little with mythic to maintain some balance and just wanted to make sure that wasn’t going to be a deal breaker for anyone. It’s mostly just using RAI instead of RAW on a couple things (like mythic vital strike). I’ll try to post more details later but please feel free to start asking questions if you have them. Also, I tend to be a stickler about stacking archetypes so if any of you are using questionable combinations please let me so we can talk about whether any adjustments might need to be made. Looks like an interesting party though, I’m curious to see how a blight Druid and a halcyon Druid will get along.
*waves* Hi there!
I'm perfectly fine with tweaks and balancing. I also think that as far as I can tell my archetypes stack--I was pretty careful in the design.
I am also curious about the future interactions of two completely opposite druids!
First of all, thank you for stepping in/up. I think it's pretty apparent that all three of us got attached/invested pretty quickly to not just our own characters but each other's as well.
Second of all, Khry and I already discussed via PM how our characters may interact given alignments/beliefs. Given the nature of the threat in the AP I was hoping to lean on this section of the Associates portion of the Paladin class write-up:
"Under exceptional circumstances, a paladin can ally with evil associates, but only to defeat what she believes to be a greater evil."
As far as tweaks go, I'm all for it. Your the GM, I wouldn't expect you to keep things exactly as the previous.
Is the new GM sticking with just three players?
I believe that was his intention, yeah. Having three characters in a gestalt mythic game like this not only lets us focus on their stories more specifically, but also is the perfect place power level wise.
My two archtypes stack perfectly, and besides Khry’s intentions to eventually perform the siabrae ritual (once she learns what it entails, that is), I don’t have any issues with balancing or switching to your gming style.
@CKorfmann- I am just sticking with 3, yes. As was mentioned, 3 is good group size in terms of overall power (that way the AP will start work pretty well even the characters are gestalt).
@Khry'barakt- I'm sorry but becoming a sibrae during the AP is not something I would be on board with (especially in a party with a paladin). If that change in direction would prompt some changes to your character I'm totally okay with you revamping some things, but if its a deal breaker I may not be the right person to take this over.
Nah, that’s not a deal breaker at all, don’t worry. Doesn’t mean Khry won’t still spend resources and time trying to find the ritual or some other way of gaining power and immortality to spend her entire life cleansing the Worldwound from her ancestral land. She doesn’t seem to know or understand that her resistance to the Bleaching, and subsequent transition to a full Bleachling, has already granted her an expanded lifespan.
Out of character, she’ll probably be talked out of it by the Paladin once he learns what he has to do (sacrifice 18 unwilling humanoids). I like the vindictive character looking for revenge angle I have going on, so I won’t be changing anything about her attitude/personality at all. I will, however, most likely lose the feyspeaker archetype and rework my ability scores a bit, as I had planned to use charisma for things in preparation for my transition to undeath. Shouldn’t take but a moment, and I’ll switch it over real quick.
If all else fails, completing the ritual into undeath can be done after the campaign is over and I retire the character for the last time.

Oh! One more question. The original GM restricted us to core races and no alternate racial traits, is that still in effect? I would still want her to be a gnome, but there are some Bleachling specific alternate racial traits I would have liked to use.
I'm also fine with core races, but would also be interested in alternate racial traits.
The paladin and halcyon druid would both probably work to talk Khry out of her plans.

I assumed as much, but again that won’t stop her from being obsessed with searching and being secretive about what she’s looking for.
Think it’ll make a good tension between her and her two eventual friends.
I'm generally pretty open to alternate racial traits, just let me know which ones you're looking at so I can double check them.
I’ll have to sit down and check how I’m reworking her, cause I gotta move ability scores around. I’ll get back in touch!
I don't know how likely I am to look at alternate racial traits or anything to be perfectly honest. I know when I originally built this character it was an aasimar but I think I'm okay with him just being a vanilla human at this point.
Sorry, my busyness lasted longer than anticipated. I’ll get a new thread up in the morning.
Alright, here's the new discussion thread for you all. Please let check in and let me know you all saw this (and the link worked).
