Hello! And thanks for picking me up in this one! I appreciate it! (Jack Ryder, by the way).
You know, I've seen you around back in the day, Dread. I remember that avatar of yours. I've never been in any games with you but I've seen you around.
Indeed. Youre welcome. Your character was the first I knew I wanted in the game by the way.
Here is an Example of What your Combat Summary block should look like
Kendra Lorrimor AC:10 (FF:10/Touch:10) CMD:10 HP:12/12
Saves: FO:+1 RE:+0 WL:+6 Init:+1
2nd Wizard [Diviner] F Human
Senses: Normal Defenses: Diviners Fortune 6xD (+1 For 1R)
HA! Really?! That shocks me. I typically do not get selected. I've probably been in, I don't know, close to 60 games over the years, and I betcha somewhere around the 50 mark - maybe just under that - I was ALWAYS "Mr. Replacement". I guess it was just my MO. ;)
Which is kinda funny. But hey, I made it into games that way, so, I'll take it. :)

Yeah, I'll always put what's going on with my character - usually at the bottom of the post and in ooc - because *I* HAVE to know what the heck is going on with him. Otherwise, I'M lost. And I hate that. :P
Hey gang! Thanks so much for the opportunity GMMichael, this is my first ever shot at PbP from the player's seat so I'll be learning as I go but I promise I'll do my best.
I'll make the adjustments to my sheet as soon as I get home to my PC, should be in a couple hours. I'm so excited for this, looking forward to getting to know you all (and your characters!).

I understand, but youll find I do my combats a little diffently than most DM's and Ill clarify once everyones here. So please fill out Jacks Combat summary ...Once hes as you want him to be, if you have any fine tuning.
Thanks for he selection. I'll update things later, I usually put all that stuff under a spoiler tab under my alias.
Hi Cassandra. you can do that, but I do want a combat summary for myself.
to delve a little. Combat in PBP is the biggest time sink. So Each round I will have a summary of all the characters and the monsters. Youll see their ac, hit points defenses etc. It does break the fourth wall a bit, but it makes combat run far smoother and quicker. Ill make the players saves the players will make the monsters saves. so when a spell is cast we doont have to wait to see the results. same with attacks. youll know if you hit or not.
Ill post a round of that and it will become clearer. So please make sure you give me a summary block ok? Trust an old time DM on this ;)
Oh, I gotcha. You mean here in the discussion thread. I thought you meant during combat. My bad. Gotcha.
Jack Ryder: AC:15 (FF:12/Touch:13) CMD:15 HP:11/11
Saves: FO:+3 RE:+5 WL:+3; Init:+3
1st level Ranger(Trapper); Male Human
Senses: Perception +5; Defenses: None
Does this work? I don't think he has any defenses. None that I'm aware of anyway.
These are Jacks Defenses.
+2 vs death effects, +2 vs fear effects, +2 vs negative levels
You know, I was wondering if that counted. Thanks for the heads up on that.
Will edit the post.
Edit: Okay, I got it edited.
Okay, that's weird. It was edited and now it's not. Will just redo it. Man, that's odd. I've no idea what the heck happened there.
Jack Ryder: AC:15 (FF:12/Touch:13) CMD:15 HP:11/11

so Hows the characters coming?
Jack is done and ready to go.
Unless I've missed something. Which is entirely possible. :P
I'm pretty sure Helmund is good to go
And hello, Two-hands, AJM, Nathan, and Crisischild! Should be a good one. Pretty cool we've got a couple of newbies here.
Barek is back up to speed. Minor changes around ability scores, and changed one trait back to what it once was.
Cassandra is good to go.

Thanks Javell, hello to you too! Not gonna lie, I've been running the first module of Trail of the Hunted on the forums here for the past week and a bit and I'm loving it. I'm absolutely stoked to get the chance to see how it feels from the player side now.
Lady Briar do you have a picture you want me to use on roll20 (and if any 9f you want me to use anything besides your avatar let me know
I have this image for Briar Rose, or you can use her icon here. Either is fine by me. Other than that, I think Briar Rose is ready to roll.
I’ll be finished tonight.
I’m excited to be chosen!
Quick question. As a dhampir, I heal with negative energy. Could I know inflict light wounds instead of cure light wounds to have learned how to heal myself?
This is Ruin Explorer’s character.
Quincey Harker AC:14 (Ff:10/Touch:14) Cmd:15 HP:6/6
Saves: FO:+0 RE:+3 WL:+1 Init:+5

Id be ok with that. As long as you arent 'good' so Lawful Neutral, Neutral or Chaotic Neutral
ok 3 things before we kick things off.
1. The link to Roll20 is in campaign information. Please click it and join. make sure you indentify which character youre running so I can link you to it.
2. I need each of you to tell me which way youre coming into town. Theres only two routes in The Southern one (from Caliphas, Ardis, the eastern area of Ustilav..) or The Northern One (Leipidstadt or The border with Belkzen (or north of Ustilav))
3. Then 2 die rolls 2d6 and 1d10.
Then I can kick things off.
Okay, GM, give me a sec. I've got to figure out how to get Jack on Roll20. It's been a while since I used it. I love Roll20.
Right now I'm under "Joran "The Oaf" Bravestone. Will get it fixed here in a bit. Time to get me some grub first. I'm hungry. :)
all you have to do is log into roll20 through the link. That joins the game. whatever name you have on there, Ill attach you to Jack
South I guess. That's the way Briar Rose came before i think.
Okay, I think I'm logged on.
And as far as which direction, let's go with Leipidstadt.
From the south as well.
I've joined, I posted in the Roll20 chat and changed my nickname so hopefully I'm easy to find.
Helmund is travelling from the north.
,
Nathan H.
Barek will be traveling in from the south.
Once Cassandra posts I can kick this off.
Every one's joined roll20 except Barek.
Those who have I linked your character and name. Right now I have you all on a map of ustilav with all the locations from there guide to Ustilav. When you can let me know if you can see it and move your token, so I can make sure all your settings are good
Sorry everyone for the delay. I'm closing on new house today and the past couple of days has just been a flurry of emails and documents, so I've been a little distracted.
Cassandra is from the village of Redleaf, so she would be coming from the south.
Not a worry. You didn't hold anything up. Congrats on the new house
Yep, I can move my token.
I can move my token!
I have joined the Roll20 game. Token is mobile.
The Active Map on Roll20 is now Ravengro. The tokens are there just to give you 'sight' on the map. Your posts will say where you are.
Token is good to go for me too
Links and token are good.
Hey guys, sorry to interject and interrupt the conversation with such a closed post, but I wanted to put something up and I figured at least making sure Helmund made it to the inn would be a good idea. I'm still not 100% down with the PbP ettiquette, so if I've committed a grave sin I'm truly sorry

No worries. I generally believe that posting about once a day is good to let people know you’re still around, even a short one. It’s easy to fall in the trap of waiting, and that can be a game killer.
And I think moving to be with the group was a good move to help us continue forward.
