Male Not man enough to be human

Haven't forgotten about us. My phone is broken, and waiting on a replacement. Will resume when it arrives.

Mahzuzi DOES have the writ of exploration, right? Or does he need to try and bluff his way through the lottery? :)

To make things more...fun...let's say you DON'T have one.

Jabari does NOT sense any ill intent from the stranger.

Todoth can count 39 people up on the stage, which would be roughly 3/4 of the groups assembled today.


Unless I have a sudden brainstorm and want to do some writing, I'll leave my story with the one you wrote.

I would imagine we met before. I think the adventure assumes the characters are an established group at the start.

You've already met each other, name chosen, and already signed up as explorers through the temple

It did for awhile. Sorry guys. Work started up again, and still a bit under the weather.

I'm working tomorrow (Saturday) but should be able to get back into my groove by Monday :)


Male Not man enough to be human

Welcome back Erik :)


Mummy's Mask - The Half Dead City starts at $120 online. Ridiculous!


Hopefully I didn't have some fevered dream.

I tried googling, but no luck.

Wasn't there an early AP which had the PCs attending some sort of masquerade ball, or a dinner or something, and there was a bunch of RPing to have to get some information from aristocrats?


Male Not man enough to be human

Qilldar, I sent you a message.


Male Not man enough to be human

Drax...you won't be able to post? Do you need me to bot you?

Wow! I'm on the road for two days and there are 22 posts! Wish any of my other games were active like this!

We're just a bunch of fiends :)


Male Not man enough to be human

It should only be for a few posts. Some minor encounters to get some village flavor.

If everyone wants to skip it and get into the swamp, I'm game for that too.


Male Not man enough to be human

Being Licktoad goblins, you'll all get 1 free rank in Swim.


Male Not man enough to be human

I'll let anyone who wants to make a post do so. In the morning, expect another 'forward momentum' post.


Male Not man enough to be human

In the gameplay thread, there's now a link to a loot sheet on my posts. :)


Male Not man enough to be human

I updated the campaign info tab. It's got a map of the village and key locations.

i was going to post something about Jugdaz struggling as he is lead away, but feel it would break up the narrative.

You can go ahead if you'd like. :)

Sorry for the radio silence... My whole family caught some kind of bug for Christmas.

Same here... Been couch and bedridden most of the past few days. Once the kids settle down I'll make a proper gameplay post.

Dot.

I will be away from the 29th to the 1st just an FYI.

I'll plan for the 4th. Plenty of time for everyone to get set.

We can figure out how everyone came to know each other, and come up with a group name.

Im here, I'm putting together an alias to use. Any character build rules that are significantly different? I figure at lvl 1 not a whole lot needs to change on our end.

Nothing really sprang to mind, so I think we can go with what we have.


Male Not man enough to be human

These dice rolls are insane. It must be server-wide, same thing is happening in my other game.


Male Not man enough to be human

Good thing you'll get to rest overnight before your big adventure.

Maybe try closing the browser and restarting it?


Male Not man enough to be human

Merry Christmas everyone. Let the gifts keep coming...everyone roll a d100 in this thread :)


Male Not man enough to be human

Moving the bed to one side, you see a trapdoor, barely distinguishable.

Valentina stands, and turns back to the room where everyone woke up. "Popido, you'll have to stay behind to stall them, " she says to one of her guards, who nods his agreement.

"I'm sure we'll have only minutes before they figure out where we went."

She moves out of the way, "If you want to meet my master, we need to get out of here first. That trapdoor is rusty and heavy. Anyone have a crowbar?"

Jugdaz rolled a 10 and 15 to beat the 9 and 12.

In my defense, I've got some flu, but yea, ignore that last attack roll.


Male Not man enough to be human

If you fail either roll, the spider attacks.

Not gonna lie...I've never seen the spider get that many attacks before :)


Male Not man enough to be human

With Christmas eve upon is, I'm not expecting anyone to post.

If you all want to roleplay a bit, I'm planning on doing a new 'story post' on the 27th, responding to everyone.


Looks like everyone I messaged is on board. I'm going to spend a few days going through the first 2 books, and set up a new campaign.

Once I'm good to go, I'll send a link through private message.


Male Not man enough to be human

Wow, the dice are not your friends so far.

Jagael, I may bot you if the others start posting today, and I don't see a post.

Am still pretty new to this so hadn't realised there was a material component, but yeah, wax is not something Jugdaz (or any goblin for that matter) is not something he's likely to be short of.

Also, missed it by that much <holds finger only a tiny bit apart>

Try to use your Jugdaz alias when posting :) would be uber-helpful


Fn'al could have been so much fun.

If steelguts doesn't come back, I may jack this thread.

well the wax wouldn't be too hard. *Digs into Jugdaz's ear*

I am assuming the wrangling has to be carried out with one turn of effort, so I couldn't Ghost Sound a buzzing fly behind it to distract the spider then go for it? Jugdaz will do the distraction first if he's able, otherwise the roll as is stands.

I think you're over thinking this part. Although I would like to see where you get wax or wool from :)


Male Not man enough to be human

All good. Weekends/holidays are always iffy.


Submissions Over


Qilldar, head over to the gameplay thread.


Male Not man enough to be human

Spiller!! My ranger friend! Yea you made the cut....go ahead and post.


Male Not man enough to be human

You either made it out of stuff or it's broken. You'll be collecting the 'real' gear as the adventure progresses.

Born in Salem, Kiefer was never “quite right”, according to his Aunt Millie.

He could be found in the woods, picking through animal carcasses, and slowly turned inward, ostracized by the children of the village.

As a teenager, he received a camera for his birthday, and he started his own one-page weekly newspaper.

When his Aunt Millie died, Kiefer was left with a modest inheritance. He spent a portion of the money on his education, and found a love for collecting taxidermies.

But not anything mundane. Having uncovered a two-headed snake skeleton on an archaeological expedition to Egypt, Kiefer became obsessed with freaks of nature.

After finishing college, Kiefer moved to Boston to work for a large newspaper. Their library opened his eyes to strange stories of disappearances, and seemingly normal people driven to the depths of madness.


Male Not man enough to be human

At this moment in time, you don't have it... But you'll be getting it very soon--no need to erase it from the sheets.


Male Not man enough to be human

I made the first post in the gameplay tab. Did it not show up for anyone?


Looks like we have Guel (warrior), Jugdaz (adept), and Beaknose (warrior).

We can move forward with this.


Male Not man enough to be human

You 4 are definitely in. I'll look at the other proposed characters and see if there's anyone else who gets me excited to see them in action.

I might already be too late for this, but the worst that can happen is a no, so without further ado, I present Jugdaz, future servant of the Lord of the Goblin Realms.

Jugdaz** spoiler omitted **

Jugdaz Concept ** spoiler omitted **...

Looks like Jughead could be fun...except you need to drop the witch class and go with an NPC class. After this adventure yoid be able to take witch.


Are the personal skills the "any two other skills"?
