I see the map...woohoo!

Kaalul Bazt |

drbuzzard, thanks for putting the link to the map in the Campaign Info tab. Could you edit the link to use [url] tags? This forum puts a space in long strings of text every 75th character, so the link doesn't work unless we copy, paste, and then delete the space in our browser. Thanks.
I'll go ahead and add all six of our alias icons to the map, but I'll let everyone position the icons themselves.

Kaalul Bazt |

the Disney dwarf is hiding in the upper-most left corner of the map
Whoops, sorry Grumpy. I didn't pick up on this and added an icon for you. Feel free to delete whichever icon you don't want to use.

Orthoon Kegstalker |

Could someone make an icon for Orthoon. I've tried several times and failed.

Kaalul Bazt |

It's already done! We're on slide 2 of the maps, and all six of us have icons there.

Crastor Deems |

That makes sense. I was more considering the odds of making a Crocodile go blind...Hmmm.
In the morning, before I put on all my armor, I cast False Life each day. It would just last four hours for now. So would it still be up when people fall in and can I Roll it if we are still between 8 am and noon?

Orthoon Kegstalker |

Oh well, I doubt that frees you anyway.
That's okay. Kurgan's backstory and RP will be enhanced by watching his brother drown and get eaten before his eyes.
I swear, Orthoon's not getting out of the starting area.

Kurgan Kegstalker |

Both seem like they will drown at this rate.

Crastor Deems |

I will be going on vacation from Sunday, July 28th, through Friday, August 2nd. I should have the internet, but I am not sure how much time I will have to post. So feel free to bot me if needed.

Kaalul Bazt |

Dang, good luck Dolgrym. Rest up.

Grumpy, a giant hunter |

I may have confused bow vs stern on the map of the ship: did I put Grumpy's token on the forward-most port side railing? which means there's some kind of large superstructure on the bow -- and the mega-crossbow is pointing aft?

Grumpy, a giant hunter |

I was wondering if the upper deck portion of the slide was reversed from the other two parts -- it's weird to have the big superstructure on the bow.
I've swapped Grumpy's position; anyway, it makes sense that the bolt ace would spend much of his day admiring the giant crossbow!

Crastor Deems |

I am back, I am glad that no one seems to have been croc food. Sorry about not posting over the week. For some reason I could not login to Paizo from my laptop.

drbuzzard |

I'm starting to think I should have outlined posting expectations when I recruited. Slow motion games annoy the hell out of me. I will punt people before I allow this game to be one of those. It's one thing to warn me that you won't be around, and it's another to just vanish. Biruta will be in bot mode for now.

Biruta Rovelsdam |

Oof! So sorry! It's been a wicked rough couple of weeks for all sorts of surprising reasons. I'll be in the clear to get a gameplay post in on Saturday.

Kaalul Bazt |

And copied sneak attack over, a wasn’t sure if it could be applied should there be the possibility of a flank, so I got the dice rolls in.
For the record, Kaalul fights considerably better when he's flanking with someone also. It's sound dwarven tactics to surround your foe. :)

Orthoon Kegstalker |

Yeah, and you're not up there Orthoon, I shouldn't have even responded, though I did want to make the point that trying to plumb role playing out of mockingly generic NPCs will be like blood from a stone as I will not entertain it with any effort. I said beer and pretzels and I meant it. Role play among yourselves to your heart's content, but most of the rest of who is in here is for hack/slack or information.
Sorry. I'm an RPer at heart.

Biruta Rovelsdam |

Thanks for the opportunity but I'm going to bow out. I guess I didn't really understand what "beer and pretzels" meant. If we can't even try conversing with NPCs that don't come with stats provided in the AP because we won't get anything like a genuine reply in return, this isn't going to be a game for me.
Enjoy everyone and have a good game.

drbuzzard |

I rather thought the idea was not hidden. Oh well, back to recruitment. Maybe I'll need to put HACK AND SLASH in recruitment instead since I was not explicit enough. Anyone else teetering on bailing because I won't make this an amateur thespian session?
The theme here is a joking campaign of killing things and taking their stuff. If that isn't your cup of tea, you should probably let me find people that it does suit.

Kurgan Kegstalker |

I will bow out as well. While I enjoy hack and slash, it veers somewwhat too much towards that. There are players that is a better suit for and I won't take that slot.

drbuzzard |

I tend to think that if I put a 'generic half orc' t-shirt on an NPC people would not be inclined to talk to them.
Had Orthoon chatted up the coxswain, he would have had interaction. I'm not populating a world with all cardboard cutouts. I'm just not here for deep roleplaying (or even an approximation).

Orthoon Kegstalker |

Orthoon follows his brother. Thank you, drbuzzard for this opportunity, and I look forward to playing with you in the future.

drbuzzard |

You know, it seems I've struck a nerve even with people who I thought liked my style. If that's the case, I think I'll just end this since it is not what people want. I don't need to put in effort for a game that nobody wants to play. We're down 3 already, and I dislike replacing people. Especially before even the second combat.
I won't be running anything further on this site since it appears I'm not compatible with it.

Biruta Rovelsdam |

...because I won't make this an amateur thespian session?
Maybe it's less the particulars of you "style", and more your need to be nasty and sarcastic about it? Just a thought.

I'll consider that as I kill the game. Or perhaps I won't. My sense of humor isn't for everyone.
There is a certain humor in that the person who vanished for a week and almost got kicked killed the game. I'll chuckle about that.
But you will be safe from my nasty sarcasm in the future.

Biruta Rovelsdam |

A. I had a very busy week. RL over RP.
B. I really doubt I have that kind of influence.
If that isn't your cup of tea, you should probably let me find people that it does suit.
You were the one who posted an ultimatum.
Actually I seem to be having a mass exodus, so perhaps I'll just kill the campaign.
And then decided to kill the campaign when some other players took your ultimatum seriously, even though you had plenty of potential players already showing interest.

drbuzzard |

Yes, 2 minutes to post "I'm real busy" would have killed you.
Ultimatum? Oh never mind, I don't even know why I bother to argue. I'm the ogre. Fine. I'll just slink off back to my cave, and not try to make games for people which they might enjoy.
For the remaining players I do apologize for killing the game, but too much turnover kills a game deader than a lich.

Crastor Deems |

Thanks for running while it lasted.

Kaalul Bazt |

For the record, I was considering dropping out, too. It's not much fun playing when it feels like the GM is consistently annoyed with the players.

Pity, I've been reading along. I was hoping one person would drop, but not three. drbuzzard, if you decide to run another game drop me a PM.
