I am. One campaign at the moment, another... soonish. Maybe. There's always space in the former, if you're interested. They'll be 'hopping' again, shortly... so having another person appear nearby is totally a thing! :) If you're interested in joining a level 6 campaign, feel free to PM me, and we'll get you started on what you need to know!
I may have a new thread up soon enough... and while an unfettered eidolon would be odd I've always considered myself pretty flexible. :) Depends on how well you keep entertaining me in other threads. :p Wait... I shouldn't incentivize you to not keep me busy...
Actually, as Magic pointed out via PM... I kinda do have a campaign that I don't mind grabbing more people into if they're interested. The group's currently level 5 but about to be level 6. I just mostly pushed a combat into their laps, so it'll be a bit slow to get people in, but it's designed such that a revolving cast of characters is entirely possible. I'd prefer to keep it no-evil, and mostly restrict 3pp to just stuff you ask and I allow on a case-by-case basis. There's already a very varied background amongst the characters. Lycanthrope from a torn world.
As I don't think I'm going anywhere (other than slowly more insane), if any of you wanted to hop into that, I think you'd be mostly welcomed. And you kinda get your own world to come up with things for. :)
I'm a bit more hesitant to join. It really depends on the theme and flavor and such. I wouldn't mind being a player, but I've likewise been thinking of doing more GMing, which means that I should likely limit my new games, even as several are spiraling away. I'd still lean more towards his new job keeping him busy. I'd just joined a second campaign he was running and although it was much slower than this one started, it was going well before the poof. :p I'll welcome him back when he arrives again, or mourn his loss on the boards, otherwise.
Yeah, I tend not to be upset at people for getting busy or the like. I just dislike when the silence occurs.
And that's why you're a better person than me. :) I tend to think I did something to run someone off, rather than something bad happening. Though I also enter full panic anxiety mode at times, too.
Yeah, I figure the longer you're on the boards, the more you either get used to, or fed up with, the revolving door of roleplays.
Mostly been keeping to myself, because a -lot- of the games I get into just wind up with an absentee DM. It's a shame, too, because he was a really good DM. Makes me sad I got Shi's hopes up only to have everything fall off the edge... but maybe he'll be back shortly (I say, looking at the other dead roleplays in my list.)
"Explain to Sergei what is 'Thyr'? Sergei is being from many mountains away, and would like to understand who he aids before he aids them."
Sergei sat and listened to all of the proceedings. Not altogether bright, and often quick to act... he had been relegated to guarding the wagon. As a direct result, he simply waited until the others drew close to him, or drew him to them... looking minorly baffled the entire time. To Scout: "But why would tiny friend steal on his wedding day. Is worse luck than not having cow.."
"Just in time. Group is needing announcer! Go, go! Tell them what is going on on stage!" Sergei urges Simon forward, and then remembers "Also, tiny friend of Simon is disappear. Invisible disappear. Mother Bobo is being asked to help."
Wow.
It's ongoing, but no one is currently needed. :)
Sergei stays with the wagon. He thinks about bringing the ringmaster to the stage... Then makes a mental note that they do need to finish taking him to the river. It was the river, yes? The cat had said many things during his seven deaths. Most did not make sense.
"Sergei will stay with wagons. Your shows are being better than Sergei's. Feel free to go do shows for people, while Sergei waits and hopes. Does Belonda know why tiny friend would go missing?" he tilts his head. "Without telling? Is very strange how people do this. Perhaps we can ask Madame... name. Madame name if she knows where he is."
"Mmmm... Sergei is thinking should put friend ahead of money " he frowned, "But cannot undo dislike of crowd.."
"Newlywed is gone missing on day of wedding? This cannot be happening! SEE! THEY NEEDED COW. Why Sergei has to be so stupid. Should have just convinced others to get cow. Now marriage is doomed! the big man seems extremely excited. "Show Sergei where he disappears? Sergei is not being excellent at tracking, but is good at getting people to share things they see.
There you have it. :) we're all just waiting for continuation. :)
I'm here, there's just decidedly little to respond to. I could take more initiative and push folks towards an early show, but I was waiting for more interest in doing so... Or in waiting for the return of the hypnotist. I think what's happening is that we split the party, and the group at the inn is waiting for more to interact with, the hypnotist is apparently waiting for the shi scene to play out, and the circus group is waiting for the return of the 'away team' to start a large show. I think it's in everyone's best interest to stick to one -big- show each day. I know Sergei is much better off that way. :)
"Ah, is good." Sergei nods. "Shows for children are being best kind. Children understand all of Sergei's jokes." he grins widely. "Adult... far too serious, sometimes. Need to lighten up. Sergei is unsure of how to do minor show, though. Last time, others are not being interested, or are saying Sergei is boring in lifting." he sighs.
"Cow or no cow. Show must be going on. Can satisfy crowd now with show? Or little things? Will probably detract if share too much, yes?" he asks the others still at the wagon.
Dunno! Sergei could, in theory. As for performing: He can only do four big lifts per day, if he uses rage rounds in pairs. And only one big lift will look easy. It probably goes a lot better without announcing in between and just assuming things -were- announced. That way we don't spend five days on each performance.
Should we run a minor show with our hypnotist gone? It'd be a good way to build up the crowd, and get those who would pay less for tickets through, before the big spenders arrive. Plus, Sergei can save 'making it look easy' for the bigger spenders.
As the three that have the answer to his question leave without answering, he calls after them, voice raised well above an inside voice, "BUT YOU HAVE COW, YES!?" After the bit of comedy, Sergei, with his new worry, speeds up his activities, to do his best to get everything fixed up and ready, so he can't worry about what might go wrong.
I still think the fluff will be more important to him than the crunch. I think he has a backstory regarding why his eidolon is by itself, and that that will be important to his character.
Funny enough, my character in an antimagic zone is worth about the same as a warrior. :) I've never really worried about having 'the balanced party'. I worry more about making sure that the players have the tools to have fun with what they have. I -do- like shadow lady, and again, she fits for basically swapping out with Veilwar in several ways, already. If you're outright looking for party parity, we have 3 effectively martial, 2 mini-arcanes, 2 skillmonkeys, and a divine. Possibly more than that. (I'm mixing roles a lot) If we're just wanting a stronger composition, Fortune teller will fill the arcane niche much better. Though, at the same time, having Scath play an Eidolon and giving him a pet summoner fills that very same Niche while actually -strengthening- the character, and breaking his concept, which I don't think he'd go for.
The reasons Eidolons can't wear armor is because of their connection to their summoner, so wearing armor makes sense for one that doesn't have a summoner. :) I'm much less worried about where the stats came from, as he's still point-buy viable if you simply gave him the human (least favorable) stat allocations based on race. But... I'll do it anyway! The attributes are a little bit of a mess, but if you made small quadruped into a race, you would arrive at: 10/16/11/7/10/11. He probably went with treating its racial bonuses as 0/6/0/-4/0/0, then, as per allowing a player to play a monstrous race. He then applied his 20 point buy to a 'race' with +6 dex, -4 int as racials, and arrived at where he is. If he'd gone nuts with the form and all that, he'd actually be sitting at significantly higher than 18 dex if he wanted, in this way. But at the end of the day, even without the insanely crazy mods, a simple +2 dex (as if human) puts him at his exact same stats by point buy. :) He also hasn't applied his 2 HD +1str/dex yet from the looks of it. I think that covers everything. :) Just also bear in mind that the Centaur, at some point, may decide to regrow to Medium, giving 4 str, 2 con, and taking away 2 dex. I'm not sure if that's planned at all, or if the DM would even allow it. :) (then he'd swap to 18/16/14/12/10/11 for his bases before level-ups) Hope that helps. <3 Summoners.
Sergei seems suddenly dumbfounded. He looks between the two, back and forth. "You are really getting married, or was pretend joke?" To those who knew Sergei, they could tell that there was a bit of urgency in his voice, even though he was trying to keep it out. Which was strange for the big man!
"Is possible... but do not know if can lift horse -and- rider." he strokes his beard as he tries to ponder. "Have never tried. How upset would people be if Sergei could not?"
Seems like the area could just have an eidolon walking around. I mean... no one's got the Volo locked in a cage :P So it's more a question of whether or not we go after something he'd go after, and he's going after it... or if he wants to join the circus in some way :P
Aggg: While I have nothing against Manny, his character seems to be filling niches we already have filled. Scout functions in most of the ways Manny would, and the odd jobs are also already mostly being handled. If they aren't handled, then I haven't noticed! Katie: A great replacement to get some magic back into the party. I approve of adding a fortune teller, but I'm not sure how our friends would feel about stepping on the other fortune teller's toes :P Shi'vatha: MDT is an awesome player, and I welcome him in any of my games, either as a GM or as a Player. While I don't know what the Eidolon will bring to the table for performances, I'll vouch for him as a good player. You can ask the orc if there's still more positive references for MDT. :) As for how to handle the missing HD, I don't see anything wrong with just giving class levels, or giving more outsider HD at the bare minimum. :)
"Sergei should go near middle, Sergei is main attraction, after all." he suggests as he beams at Scout, "Sergei just kidding, Sergei should go near act with animal handler. Sergei will do horse trick. Just lead horse onto stage for Sergei, and Sergei will get him off stage after. Best to have lots of things up for Sergei to move. Perhaps can even make it act involving 'cleaning up the stage' as if show is over?"
Sergei had spent the morning preparing the area for their show, moving things about, and helping scout to do any of the heavier-lifting things with the horses (given how disastrous his size could be for strength-intensive tasks that need to be completed quickly). Sergei drinks his with Gusto... then acknowledges a moment later, "Sergei is thinking it would be much better with milk! Maybe sugar. Sergei will try some later, perhaps. Thank you, tiny new friends! And Belonda!" he beams at them all.
Eh, best to steer clear of religion and politics, probably :p
Sergei shrugs. Good business was good business. He would definitely point customers this way! "There is being no need to apologize, free is much better than most stables! Sergei thanks you much, good sir!" He then proceeds to head back outside and inform the others, calling over as he moves in that direction. "Good news! The ogre is having space for the horses and for any of us in the stables!" He begins to unhitch the horses to lead them to the stables.
Sergei doesn't stop laughing, in a rich baritone, as the cat hops right back into another act... charming the pants off of these guards, or getting sent to jail for the night. Either way, probably a free room. He turns around and heads to the ogre to rent a stable to share with the horses, trusting the puppet to watch over everything.
"Ah. The stables do look comfortable. Has been long time since Sergei is rolling in hay!" the big man laughs as he comes closer, though the laugh is one of his 'I'm not really joking, just being friendly' laughs. He's left his coat on the wagon, and his earthbreaker wrapped in some tarp in the same location. "Good evening, officers!"
Well, when you file the divorce papers, you can totally use 'priest was actually a hypnotist, I thought I was at the DMV the whole time' as an excuse. So I'd say it's win-win!
Sergei would wait for the answer to Zathyl's question, as he stood to get ready to go. It was very late, and there was a show to do tomorrow.
Sergei also joins in the laughter, uncertain whether they are joking, or they really are engaged. But the big guy is nothing if unable to laugh at a joke he doesn't completely understand. After all, both sides of the coin are pretty funny. It was a shame if Lolly was indeed taken, however.
Sergei rubs his bald head, watching the apparent out-takes from the cat-man... then polishes off another plate of food. The big man had a gargantuan stomach when it came to delicious foods. On the other hand, he did finally push his table-ware away to show that he was finished.
If I have a problem, I'll let people know in PM. /shrug. It's not hard to be up front with people :)
"Sergei has important show tomorrow. Has already drank his fill, yes? But will still toast." He nodded ascent, as he took a long drink of his water. One of many secrets that make Sergei mighty. Plenty of water, and sometimes milk. But only fresh milk.
Sergei believes 'Pun' is referring to a type of kobold. Is like tiny dragon man. But very powerful.
"You were already having the ring in the story, yes? Then... Sergei guesses will wait for story. Is sounding very interesting!" He provides a big nod, as he finishes off another mug of water. |
