2) Does your character have a significant other? Or a bit of a crush on someone in the village? Smith is too much of a working man to have any time for courting, tho he does not resist courtship himself. He has had a few relationships in the past few years that have sizzled, and no one is calling him now.

Is that "sizzled" or "fizzled"? ;)


Aaaaand Sam's background is up. It's hella shorter than some of my other characters, but I'm hoping that more of his personality and story comes out in play.

As residents of Clearbrook, none of you would find his background etc a surprise. It's pretty much local knowledge, and any that have spoken to him understand his fervour filled personality.


Human

Hah. He and Abby are due to have a very interesting conversation one of these days then.


Oh. Definitely fizzled. As in kaput. Over. Nada. Thanks for coming out, here's cab fare. Done like dinner.

For Kayos

Spoiler:
If it's ok I've made a few changes to Kai. I removed Spellcraft and Skill focus(spellcraft). Being I know nothing of these things yet. and added Dodge and acrobatics(for the defensive bonus mostly)

Alpha 3 has landed :D It's looking good!

Shadow Lodge

Still reading, but so far I'm not impressed with the monk. I mean other than the Ki pool what really changed?

Shadow Lodge

Kayos, After reading some more are we to keep our current stats, or use new point buy method, where all our stats start at 10? Just curious.

Keep the stats you have to avoid people needing to tweak too much :)

Sorry Kayos, I promise I'll try to stop with the questions. Should I make the update to Kai?

Nope there doesn't appear to be any cleric tweaks, Len's fine the way he is :)


Male Human Sorcerer /1

I miss my Improved Init! Other than that I think I'm set.

Edit*This is going to be dump, but here we go. I just had a "brain fart" is melee touch is based off your Str, right? Again dumb question.

The lack of bloodline feat is a shame, but at least you'll never need to worry about spell components!

Edit:: Melee touch attacks are indeed str based

*checks* but your elemental touch attack has been replaced with a ranged one in the latest release

Ah, ok. I think I got all the kinks worked out.


Update: I had to work a late shift tonight, so I'm planning to download Alpha 3 tomorrow, and hopefully get Donnell all statted up as well.


Yay! I get my d10 back!

hmm no spellcasting yet....what else changes for me....

Spells are off of CHA when you get them if I recall correctly

Yep, that's about it. Well other than the basics(Smite Evil, Aura of Good and Detect Evil)

I was just thinking with this celebration happening in the game. What would the Travelers music sound like?
Well after thinking about I found this. Sure it may not be perfect fit, but to me it is.


Human

Like that very much. Maybe with a bit more hand-clapping and stamping courtesy of Miss Transon.

The Exchange

Female Human(ish) DM 1 / Housewife 1 / Zany RPer 3

Laz: Yay for finding music :) As to the paladin thing, there's nothing to stop you going sorcerer/paladin rather than sorcerer/fighter, especially with who you've been working with, he could pick up a few tricks from Smith over time afterall.


I'm heading out of town on business Tuesday afternoon until Saturday morning (US Eastern). I should still be able to post fairly regularly -- I'd hate to kill the momentum now!

Oh no! Len is going to break Smith's heart!

Do we know if we still have Malvoisin? I'm hoping it was just a busy holiday weekend for him..

Human

Hi Lazaro! Loved the music clip. How come I can never find anything good on YouTube? Whatever I search for, I end up with three year old clips from Big Brother. Must be doing something very wrong.

Shadow Lodge

Male Human

Same here, I was surprised when I found that clip. Go looking for one thing, find something completely different.


Human

Maybe that's the key. It's Alice through the looking glass. Type in the exact opposite of what you hope to get and voila! Useful result.

Shadow Lodge

Male Human

Has anyone read something that made shivers go up their back? Well I just did.

Rev's reply on the game thread literally sent chills up my back. It was just...wow. Replying to it was a challenge aswell. I've been in a lot of games, but have never had this level of interaction with someone(The people here in town aren't really up for "role" playing).

As a whole I couldn't be happier about this game. Everyones enjoying themselves(and not once have I as a player or DM heard anyone complain about not getting to kill something).

*I know I probably sound a little corny, but it's true. Players like you all, would make any DM happy.


Human

Why thank you!

I can't really take any credit. Abby writes herself, like most of my PCs. It's one of the things I like most about pbp, the characters do their own thing in a very organic way. I tend to let them unless whatever they seem to want to do looks as if it might de-rail a whole story.

I'm gotta agree. Everything seems to flow well with one another.


Human

Sorry to break the flow here, but I won't be around from this afternoon (Friday) til probably Monday morning.

Shadow Lodge

sorry paul! not trying to bust your balls!

Smith is pretty close to hyperventilating!


All,

For reasons external to the game, I'm having to seriously curtail my pbp activity. The first cut I'm making is dropping all 3E/PF games, preserving time for the 4E games I'm running and playing in, for the sake of only having to keep track of one ruleset.

Kayos, I'm sorry -- I think you've got a neat setup here, even if Len is rather frustrated!

Apologies,
Pat


Human

Very sorry to lose you Pat. It's always a pleasure gaming with you.

The Exchange

Female Human(ish) DM 1 / Housewife 1 / Zany RPer 3

*Hugs for Pat*

Okay everyone else - we're down a Len, we'll work out where he disappears to and Iz (the other group needs an arcanist and I've already worked out with the player how to move her)

Do you want me to do a recruit for another player or two to bolster ranks before you step into the land of the fae?


Human

We might be OK unless we meet scads of undead. We have a paladin, a rogue and a sorcerer which covers all the main bases. It's up to you, you know how the adventure scales and what it can tolerate.

One things for sure, if it's Smith, Abby and Kai wandering around the fey world, they won't be discreet about it. Bemused opponents will be confronted by Smith and Abby resolving family issues while Kai absent mindedly fries them with his acidic eyes.

Coolies if you're happy as a trio then I can keep you as a threesome and keep challenges appropriate :3


Human

Kayos - just to let you know I won't be around from Tuesday morning to late Thursday. This applies to the Age of Worms game as well, which I can now no longer even find ...

Anyway, can you DMPC Abby and Kallista if needed please?

Shadow Lodge

Updating my dot

The Exchange

Female Human(ish) DM 1 / Housewife 1 / Zany RPer 3

Sorry I've been quiet. Things have been a little hectic and I think they'll continue to be, especially with Christmas, my birthday & New Years so if I don't get around to posting for a while I'm very very sorry and I'm sure I'll be updating with renewed vigor once things settle down.


Human

Don't worry. Get yourself back when you can and meanwhile have a wonderful birthday/Christmas/New Year.

Shadow Lodge

Male. Mostly. Elf Wizard3/Master Enchanter7

Drink plenty of nog!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
