GM_Capt_Wombat's page

It is with some regret that I must inform you my fellow gamers.
That life commitments have now changed and the time and energy I spend on here is now needed in other pleases.

So as of today I will no longer be participating in any posting on this site and others like it.

It was fun and think you for that.

All the best with your games

Your Cap Wombat.

aasimar o yes please, thinking healer of some kind, means they are going to be good

Myself I hate the whole 6 seconds round mechanic, from rolled initiative, surprise rounds to actions move and other, Just there to make Dnd/Pathfinder game mechanic work and nothing more, it bears little or no resemblance to reality. clunky slow and stupid most of the time. Other games have systems like action rounds and speed based around training in an action etc. Your a short shooter you get a snap around of 1st, its a light weapon you get two chances to hit per action.

Call of Cthulhu has this

COMBAT SEQUENCE
๏1st DEX Cycle: All drawn and aimed firearms/ranged weapons
fire in DEX order, highest to lowest. If DEX
scores are tied, roll d100, the lowest goes first.
๏2nd DEX Cycle: This time include:
• All hand-to-hand attacks
• All 2nd firearm attacks
• All 1st firearm attacks if the firearm wasn’t
initially drawn or readied.
• Other Actions (First-Aid, Spell-casting, etc.)
• Firearms with a third shot fire at half DEX TH

Dex then becomes speed in combat and very impotent, and even with a surprise attack.

They jump out of a bush 20' away and charge you, you still get a shot at them if your gun was out ready and loaded, no ifs or buts. In pathfinder you stand there wile they run up to you and hit you on the head. "Bonk"
Most GMs would be logical and say, yes you get a shot off.

I just hope i have not been a jerk to any of you guys.

BTW Damiana i never did give a physical description of nurse Julie in the past I only posted a picture of her:

Nurse Julie

this is pretty much exactly like her. she is a bit short (just under 5' tall), and very slender. she dresses very conservatively.

No jerkiness came my way Ed, all the best with the life thing.

1 for 5 is and option for talents as is the three and not two class ones.

1: psionic / magic transparency, ie detect magic or psionics becomes detect/psionics, the same thing, also magic/powers of the same kind do the same thing, so PR is the same as PR etc. that's just to keep life simple.

2: with talents I have gone with this.
All psi classes get there base listed class talents
Psion gets 2 linked to type of Psion.
Wile focuses they have no cost v power points
But all classes can lose one 1level power for 5 talents,
But, they are powered by focus, that means you HAVE expend your Focus to use them for free. You can of course keep it and spend 1 pp to use the talent but 1pp is the max you can send
This how ever let's you keep psionic focus.

In this way they become like catnaps, but with a limited use and down side so there not abused.

I have done this in a number of games and it works out well game play and let's psionics mix well with magic for transparency.

Hope that helps, right back to my trip. Thank you hotel wifi

Holly molly Just looked at the other group they have only just hit there 1st fight,

GM PM :)

Ok and wrong thread for the stall post

Game stall...

Capt, I'm sorry about the wait. I know it can be frustrating when the action stalls out a bit. I feel frustrated that you decided to bring it up in both the recruitment and discussion threads. It was kind of a crappy thing to do. Bring it up in discussion, fine. That's part of what discussion is here for. There's nothing wrong with raising a concern. And then we can discuss it. No problem. But there's no need to raise that concern across multiple threads. That just takes more mop-up time later.

Now, on to the actual concern. Yes, this weekend has taken an incredibly long time to play out. Part of the problem is that it started with a major campaign event. These are pretty rare, and days that they occur on or that directly follow them take a very long time to play, more so than others. Then add in that I had previously scheduled a couple of scenarios for that same time that different people had asked me to run for them, and then the 'crimes of opportunity' as they were, not to mention that the weekend ends with another campaign event....well, this would have taken a very long time to play out under the best of circumstances. When you take into account that a number of the players and the GM are in school and have limited time...well, it's been stretching things a bit, and I am sorry that we're having such a hard time wrapping things up. Once we're through it, we'll be back to our more usual hop-skip-jumping through time (cue the training montage!) between events like we normally do. At this point all I can do is apologize for how long it takes me to get through these scenarios at present. A large part of it is that I am taking a very heavy courseload this term so I can finish out my associates degree. And I'm also trying to figure out schools to apply to so I can get my bachelors degree after this. And find scholarships to apply for, etc. And I still have the mommy stuff to do. And yeah, I'm way short on time. I'm doing my best to keep things going rather than putting the game on hiatus. That's really all I...

All understood Lynora, sorry about the post in game play, that was a mistake on my port, posting from phone.

Ill be back once the day moves on, Im fine waiting now I understand whats been going on fully.

All the best with your studdys

tic toc tic toc...

Happy b day

1: I'm not leaving
2: All I have been doing is waiting for the next day,

I know they may seem the same thing after 8 weeks but I am still here.

:)

See discussion post

Well let me know v PM when Carl can get off work and the fake sun gets blown,
Classes don't start till the next day so Royston's out
And the twins are keeping out of the way after the events of the day.

And
Lynora says I can play my dragon in say 6 mouths game time, as that's when the other dragon races may be showing up.
Now with 1 game day being 8 weeks RL of late that's

182 days game x 8 weeks real life that's = 1506 weeks or = around 28 years from now RL time until I can play my dragon PC.

Now I'm not trying to be funny about the, this
And it's meant as a joke of course, :)

But it dis make you think why the player numbers have fallen,
2 mouths for a single day, yikes.

Can I play my Dragon PC yet

:)

Is it the next day yet?
;)

Very much into this
Got a idea for a half giant

Looks fun I'll make a core idea see what you think

Going to bed night all

So lets see if you kids make it hehe.

Help is coming.

O this is going to be close, lets hope you hear and and come with big swords cus what ever is with here seems bad.

Yet where going to give the big a$$ and Enama

whooo hooo cool

GM your in Japan cool, I'm in north China on root to Japan early next week, heading to Tokyo for two days at Disneyland then two days seeing the city.

Yerr not jail but close, welcome to the matrix kids

So big live changing moment for Sphene, you guys are having a good influence on her.

Post #319 in "Phantom Limbs: Adrift on the Orphan Sea"

============
"HOLD!!! there will be no fighting here"

HexQin said in Oricish at the same time.

"OLDE! det blir ingen kamper her"

She looks at the others in her own group her eyes blazing green light and body shimmering with psionic power.

Intimidation 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 to make every one hold for a moment so she can talk.

"Roger do not touch your sword please"
==============

She did just there at the end, post 319 :)

And yes, just just dropped a Intimidate 26 on him, but then moves o do what she dos best. Distraction and mislead, smoke and mirrors.

There is something in the fog guys.

No problem Vorg, remember whats being said is being translated
Jacks back on his feet, Johns managed to split the orc ranks on killing us on the spot. Silvermoon, just got a chance V Roger to show have scary a little lady she can really be, with just a sentence, but also showing the orcs that she dos not want a fight here. Baldwins the one I worry about, hes being a bit left out. Could do with is little helpers dong stuff more. That would be fun to see in game hehe.

but all looks good to me, I think, Jack and John have this.

I got some up and a link to the Paizo site, sorry GM could not get more in, just did not like the code.

Ok I have tried 4 times now to post my PC on the Wiki and each time the Wiki spam filter blocks it. So I am stopping now. I have made a PC if any one would like to copy it to the Wiki feel free but I'm not wasting any more time on it tying to.

Thanks magic, I will check in again in Feb and see if that's the next day.

Is it the same day it was before Christmas ? Mel Ill and town infected ?

Sorry been away

lost me post when the site went down, will give it a day see if it stays up

Yep look after your self , be safe

Sorry to hear that hope you get will some K

If Sphene is at or less than 150' she's going to try and help the others.

Yep it's all good, I think the PCs would get this with a party of

LG, NG,NG and Sphene CN

Three have a common bond of good, wile three N dos not really do much other than say, where not this or that hehe, she's the outsider in the group, in more than one way.

All good

I'm just going to point out that it looks like we're going to have a bit of inter-party drama. Hopefully, we're all adults here, and since we're building a shared story, we can keep level heads as players, even if our characters lose their cool.

This is natural; every character has had something traumatic happen just recently, so it's understanding that nerves can be frayed. But keep in mind that the ultimate goal for everyone is to steer the story towards a cohesive group that, even if they don't particularly like each other, can at least work together.

And as players, respect each other's characters, and each other.

I agree 100% GM, I'm playing A PC, a chaotic PC who's just found herself in a dragons body with other thoughts running around her mind, some good some bad. Past lives of her ancestors. She's complicated and mixed up. Strong willed, Alien and odd at times.

I wanted to play her that was, strong but troubled and struggling.

Depth to her, not just a simple PC., I found this conflicted with in the group added to that.
Not just a happy group of chums heading of PC for fun. Etc.

I am sorry if that upset any one. It was not meant to

Go team Thug!! Rarr Rarr

O she's a believer, it's just she uses meta science
Not mumboojumbo frogs legs and other such old world view
Ignorance to explain things that are logical is all.

Think Philip Pulmens Dark Materials books over LOTRs

Magic is to be pulled apart and used by the new Industrial Age.

For an Age of Enlightenment just going
It's magic, spell thing kind of feel off for Silvermoon,
So thinking if giving her another drawback GM
Just cus it sounds fun
