Megan's Legacy of Fire OOC Thread

[Hale Caress]

Megan and Galrian: you've been invited :)

[Amar Furzen]

Accepted and done :)

Just finding it little bit confusing but then-> working now from my workplace, everything in German and little tired with whole language at this moment so thinking of copy & paste and then trying to do something with it

[Megan Robertson]

Thank you.

Went to have a look: you've been busy! I hope I shall be able to live up to all this :)

[Amar Furzen]

Ahah, as I noticed this will be most likely quite fast phased game. At least I got too much time between working

[Wander Weir]

We'll just go with whatever pace works for you, Megan. :)

[Megan Robertson]

Most kind! It is a mix of what people are able to sustain in terms of visiting and posting, and what I'm up to - this post is three and a half hours after my last to this thread, I've been wrestling with a job application but decided to take a break and look in here!

I hope people will be able to manage a daily check at least. In some games I've found people can do this during the week but can struggle at weekends as family or social life takes them away from their computers... and of course there are always those times when something crops up or you go away. If possible, I'd like to know... characters whose players are absent won't get killed off when I'm DM (but other things may happen to them...).

Henri (Hale Caress) has asked about 'adult' character concepts and themes. I'd ask you all to bear in mind that the Paizo messageboards can be read by anyone, so while I'm happy with realistic character motivations and predilictions I'll ask you to keep it to what consenting adults can legally do in private, and to close the bedroom door behind you - fade to black rather than describe your activities in detail :)

[Amar Furzen]

Heh, interesting but mhm.

Into another note: Take your time and plan since I think we got all our time (or not? seems like we all have "haste" casted on us and speed up our character creations lol) and trying to find a way to make profile nicer / better in google.accounts ... just can´t work with that site ahah.

Someone able to help with that perhaps? Otherwise taking a look later time, colouring and setting the lines are kind of blah at this moment

[Gander Longstalks]

Changed my profile pic. Still not quite what I was looking for, but I think it's a little better than the other one had been.

I really like the way the Google site looks but I too find it kind of a pain to put the character information on there all fancy like. Is it all right with you, Megan, if my profile contains the true character sheet? I'll try to copy it over to Google at some point but it's not that high on my list of priorities if the profile here satisfies.

[Vanulf Wulfson]

Hey all,
I understand that you are full at the moment but if you should ever have a vacancy please keep me in mind. I really loved playing this AP and would like to get back into it.
You can find the character I used in the old campaign Here (I would have to tone him down somewhat to fit but it should be an easy retrograde).
Wander Weir and I are currently in Wrath's Kingmaker game together so he could reach me if theres any news.
Until then I'll continue to lurk from time to time.
Good luck and good hunting.
Enjoy,
V

Hi, I am almost done with planning my character and will soon update her on the google page, just too sleepy to do it now.

I am planning an Oracle with the "Life" mystery. With the character I would like to aim for the "Healer's Touch" achievement feat (it is in the players guide for Legacy of Fire). As the feat predates the rules for Pathfinder channelling the balance may be off a bit, so if you allow it you might want to increase the required amount of healing a bit.

[Wander Weir]

How's everyone doing with getting their characters together? Are we almost ready to go?

[Amar Furzen]

Ready to go here :)

[Hale Caress]

Hale is ready, I re-spun the backstory a bit to give her a motivation to travel to Kelmarane and picked a different trait that I think suits her.

Our oracle should be done today, Endraca tends to take lots of time finding her character's inner specialness ;p

Edit: I think everybody should take time off to go through the other characters to make sure everything is correct. I know I tend to forget some +1/-1 somewhere on my chars. :)

[Amar Furzen]

Yap true that. I have though checked my spell list, skills and so on and seems to be okey so far.

Only thing I hate is that I can´t work at all with google-account pages :S So I just kind of made different columns for each stats block. If got time, maybe able to help me sort that out?

[Hale Caress]

What exactly is the problem?

[Amar Furzen]

Just can´t work with the page and unable / amateur / not knowing how to get tables done, coloured plus getting accordingly to be set. Just pasted and tried to make the "profile" more readable but... well, thats it

[Hale Caress]

lol - I just looked at your profile on the google page, I think you deleted it or something, as right now it is empty.

Regarding the tables: you can add/remove rows and columns with the tables menu. And you can select a range of cells (or a single cell) and pick a background color. The trick with that is to literally select the cells (just having your cursor in them is not enough), so drag your mouse as you select and you should see the cells being outlined in a way to indicate selection.

[Amar Furzen]

Yah, emptied it this moment so got clean table to begin but got really annoyed by it :D

[Megan Robertson]

Would you like a blank grid set up to type into?

Your DM is a webmaster & e-learning specialist by trade...

[Amar Furzen]

That would be great! I am just database administrator so can´t help this heh. Unable to maybe work with site from working place but would be appreciated.

[Wander Weir]

I would actually appreciate that as well, if you don't mind, Megan.

Edit to add: That'd be for Gander.

[Megan Robertson]

I'll bob over there in a bit, once I've finished putting a medal on my other site...

[Megan Robertson]

Done...

A database administrator, hey? About 20 years ago I wrote databases for a living... then someone invented the web :)

[Amar Furzen]

:D Ahaha, that was good one :) Incharge of MySQL, PostgreSQL, LDAP and SAP... company is using way too many stuff here and being "overworked"... when actually just got nothing much to do these days huoh. Well, got time for my own things at least but... feels really weird that customer base been going down lately

Nevertheless, Thank you !

[Megan Robertson]

Currently, 3 or 4 of my sites have MySQL backends, and I may need to get into LDAP fairly soon. But most of the time I write HTML and PHP.

Upsets students who are busy being pretty in something like DreamWeaver and get stuck, I dive into code view and sort it out for them.

[Hale Caress]

Hands-on approach. I like :)

[Gander Longstalks]

I updated my character sheet on google. Everything should be in pretty good shape there, except for my inventory list. I used Herolab to create my character and it turns out that it totally screwed up the weight calculations for my inventory.

Thanks for your help, Megan.

[Amar Furzen]

Well, Everything done now! And dammit I was right. The computer in my workplace sucks hard. From stone-age whole facility equipments since can´t even process simple google.account pages dammit.

But! I am ready to roll

[Wander Weir]

The only thing I have left to do is calculate how many sling bullets I can actually carry. I'm definitely ready to begin whenever the rest of the group is.

[Endraca]

Khismia's stats and equipment are all updated on the google page, so technically she is ready to play.I will write her backstory tomorrow.

[Romo Vendelev]

I am done. Ready to roll.

[Hale Caress]

I spent a couple of hours setting up a new character sheet layout on the google page; you can see how it looks on Romo and Hale. If you want to copy it, I suggest you set your character sheet to "3 column" layout and then copy each column by using the HTML button and copy-pasting that. :)

[Amar Furzen]

Wohoo! Everyone is ready now :)

[Megan Robertson]

Excellent :)

[Hale Caress]

Wunderbar! We'll keep our eyes peeled for the game-link Megan. Let's get this 1001 nights going! :D

[Amar Furzen]

Yap :D Whenever you are ready Megan

[Hale Caress]

I've just gone through the backgrounds (Khismia is still outstanding) - some good stories and concepts there; though I have to admit that I like Romo's the most. Outstanding stuff :)

[Megan Robertson]

Right... as you may know I am starting THREE games. One is up and you, dear hearts, are next :)

Either later today or tomorrow: I need to make sure I keep things straight and say the right things to the right players.

Anyone want to keep a dispel confusion readied just in case?

[Amar Furzen]

Well, considering I juzt prepped Daze! so might be little hard... I could try to throw in Resistance to boost your will power to get it done :P

[Gander Longstalks]

Thank you kindly, Megan! Very excited to get started!

[Khismia, Rose-golden Kismet]

All of Khismia's details are now completed. Backstory and all can be found on the google page.

Ready when you are :)

[Megan Robertson]

And we're off!

Please join me on the game thread, and thank you all for coming to play with me :)

My rules are:

1. Be nice to each other... unless you have an in-game reason for your character to bicker with another character, but don't let it spill over to real life.

2. Try and drop by at least once a day, or let me know if you cannot. I will do my level best not to kill characters whose players are absent, and if given instructions for your actions will give you every chance to complete them.

3. Use the board die roller. So will I unless there is a very good reason for a hidden roll.

4. Use the 'ooc' tag for brief comments in the game thread, come back to this one if you want a long debate ooc with other players or need to ask a rules question or the like.

5. HAVE FUN!!!

[Megan Robertson]

Good role-playing, folks. I just put on some suitable music (bellydance) and enjoyed reading your conversation.

We'll proceed to the next morning and the beginning of the adventure proper tomorrow...

[LoreKeeper]

Just a heads-up, Romo, Khismia and me will be playing real-life DnD tomorrow; so don't be afraid if we're not posting for most of the day :)

[Megan Robertson]

Thanks for letting me know, have a good one folks!

[LoreKeeper]

Thanks, it was a great session :) - a highlight I thought was nice to mention:

We play with the crit-fumble (and crit-hit) decks, and it has made very fun contributions. Just today our paladin of Iomedae (with sword oath) had an unlucky streak with her longsword flying 30 feet off and the next attack feeling unusually heavy in her hands - she became pale and is seeking atonement as clearly her goddess has been angered. True to form the GM also hinted at specs of rust that she might be noticing on her weapon.

Oh, and she (the paladin) was fighting in her pajamas for most of the session as our primary major encounter started with an ambush during our sleep

[Megan Robertson]

Please note that I have a job interview tomorrow (Monday) so will not be online until I get back.

[Hale Caress]

Sorry - I should've posted in the discussion thread from the start.

[Megan Robertson]

Right... been a bit busy as yesterday the shower failed terminally, whilst I was using it (Brrr), so lots of plumbing and running electricity cables through the walls and stuff, then I had a job interview this afternoon.

So, small (well, tiny ones actually) scorpion familiars...

Do claw/claw/sting, 1hp damage each + venom.
Have one-half of their master's hp regardless of the HD that they would have were they a common animal.
Don't really 'pounce' because that's not quite how scorpions fight, they scuttle up, grab with the claws then sting (your DM watches the Discovery channel far too much); but if chucked into combat bodily just grab on and sting as best they can.

Anything else?

[Amar Furzen]

Mhm, acceptable.

so only 4hp, no pounce as agreed. Azh will use his sting to make a single attack and forcing the fortitude save vs poison dc 12.
