Hey Tarren, there's a contest going on at EN World that might be something you would enjoy. I posted an invite to look here and there's a link in that thread to the original on EN World. I just wanted to make sure you saw it.

[French Wolf]

Just so everyone knows, I'm running three days of games at my house starting tomorrow, so my ability to post will be pretty cut down. Then it's a weeks holiday doing DIY and the like but that shouldn't slow me down too much.

Apologies but I'll try to keep tabs on the game.

Cheers

Hey all, so I'm moving today, and after talking to the new cable company odds are my internet access will be spotty at best until next Saturday, the 7th.

GM please DMPC if any key actions combats etc occur.

See you guys soon.

[French Wolf]

I wonder if anyone is interested in joining either of my games.

Legacy of Fire

Spoiler:

I've lost a couple of players in the Legacy of Fire game and so the guys could use some help. They are a pair of clerics, a conjurer and a fighter and they are still at first level. Post onto the discussion thread direct if you want in.

Lochaude Keep

Spoiler:

This is a homebrew adventure set around a noble trying to safeguard an island from the clans that are causing trouble. The party consists of a dwarf ship captain, a half-elf wizard, gnome bard, young noble fighter and her bodyguard, a human paladin. They are about to travel to the isle of Lochaude.
This group is in need of some quality roleplayers to re-energise themselves as three of the players are a bit new to pbp's. Again if you are keen then post something on the discussion thread.

Mark, I was wondering where the extra +1 bonus to your sneak attack damage is coming from? Is it from your traits?

I was wondering that too. I just looked at his character:

Dirty Fighter: You wouldn’t have lived to make it
out of childhood without the aid of a sibling, friend, or
companion on whom you could always count to distract
your enemies long enough to do a little bit more damage
than normal. That companion may be another PC or an
NPC (who may even be recently departed from your side).
When you hit a foe you are flanking, you deal an additional
1 point of damage (this damage is added to your
base damage, and is multiplied on a critical hit). This additional
damage is a trait bonus.

But that doesn't really explain it as she is not actually flanking here.

Good point I have it listed under sneak attack and completely forgot the conditional provision of flanking. It is easily possible to sneak attack under other conditions and that was an error on my part. Sorry, subtract 1 damage per hit. Hope it doesn't leave anyone alive to sound the alarm.

I am sorry if the dragon stunt has spoiled things for anyone in the game. In future, I'm going to try to tone down his "diversionary" tactics and be a bit more of a team player.

By way of explanation, I'd built him based on a British TV character who was pretty well nigh disliked by everyone in his SAS squad but its gone a bit too far. I can see that now.

And I'm glad that your still in the game, Kevin. But I guess Eria might not be Knotty's love interest any more?

Cheers

[Wicht]

As long as it doesn't get us killed, I don't mind - much - as a player. My character on the other hand has seriously considered locking knotty on the outside of the keep while the rest of us go in. :P

It has certainly sped things up a bit, which isn't such a bad thing in a PbP. ;-) It does make the adventure a bit more deadly as everyone is on alert.

I am looking for six quality players for a low level pbp I am starting, sign up here if you are interested.

Cheers

Just had a chance to see this recently, but it was fun to see some of the Kerrigan's Keep gang still going on in a new adventure. Cheers fellas and good luck!

[Tarren the Dungeon Master]

I'm wondering if the lack of quality NPCs is making this adventure drag.

Also, the storyline had some rather odd expectations that most players would buck at. Basically, you outwitted a part of the adventure early on meaning some plot material has yet to be revealed and so it is story light.

Is there anything I can do to stimulate more interest?

[Sir Manfred VonFalkenburg]

No! You can't just let it scroll off the boards! You haven't even gazed into <Censored> yet!
Remember Kerrigans Keep!

You know, I never even saw this post, odd. Thanks to Manfred for hitting it again.

I've wondered if we needed to back up and look at something again, to be honest.
