Perhaps the Publican House will be a good place to meet up with Acorn's character. The back story we are working on is that Eroril and Acorn's character studied together a long while back in the great arcane library in Tar-Kazmukh. Their paths parted when Eroril chose the divine magic path and Acorn's character chose the Arcane path.

Nice suggestion. It seems the party's headed that way, so if you're happy with that, Acorn, you can be settled with your pint when they arrive.

And welcome aboard, Acorn!

My rules are simple: we're here to have fun. I expect daily posting (but am not strict especially at weekends when people with more of a life than I have actually leave their computers to do other stuff!), appreciate a note if you know you're going to be tied up elsewhere - and will take care of your character in your absence... no, not usually by letting you get swept out to sea! Use the board die roller as appropriate - most of the time I will ask for what I want, and if someone hasn't posted by the next day I roll on their behalf. I generally expect people to keep track of their own hit points, spells expended, etc.

Do feel welcome to ask about anything that's confusing. I'm a teacher and a firm believer that the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask!

Hello Megan, Eroril here. A week or two ago you offered to GM a Legacy of Fire PBP that had lost its GM. I thought I found another GM but he posted two times and now we have not heard anything from him in about a week. Are you still available to take this group on?

Here is the original discussion thread. The last GM changed the character creation guidelines to 25 point buy and 2 traits. Everyone has created their character except for one person who should have it completed very soon.

If its too much to take on now, no problem, Plan B is for me to take over as GM but at this time, I'd prefer to play than GM. Thanks again for the offer.

I prefer DMing... so, OK I'll take it on - but it is almost tea-time here in the UK and I'm about to shut down for the night. Please tell your players that you have got a DM and I'll come round in the morning to fire things up for them.

I've now made a post on your original discussion thread.


Ok - Assuming that we are going to sell the remaining items the following day. I come up with the following values (number in parentheses is the full value)

Rapier - 10 gp (20 gp)
Sickle - 3 gp (6 gp)
Short sword - 5 gp (10 gp)
Sap - .5 gp (1 gp)
Light cross bow - 17.5 gp (35g gp)
10 bolts .5 gp (1 gp)
MW Leather armor 80 gp (160 gp)
Studded Leather 12.5 gp (25 gp)

+ 83 gp in chips and cash

For a total value of 212 gp. This would give each of us 42 gold and 4 silver. If you see an error in my values, please let me know. With no objection, we can attempt to sell the items, split the proceeds and then investigate and shop.


Sounds good, EB. Thanks for record keeping for us!


Sorry about the lack of post last week, I was on emergency leave, but should be good to post more now.

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

Everything all right, Kozaric?

Don't worry, sometimes games have to take a back seat to real life.


Im good. thanks for asking.


I will be traveling from Wednesday to Sunday so my ability to post may be limited. Feel free to take over Eroril to keep things moving.

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

So noted, have a good trip.


Should we go in search of another player again. Prylfellow hasn't posted anywhere since 10/28. I did talk to Ceph, he is still around.

Also, once we get back to the goblin, we can split up the gold from the items we sold. We have 212 gp to split, although I don't know if it will be 4 ways or 5.

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

I'm happy to add another if you lot have someone in mind. Or we can ask in the Gamers Connection and get mobbed...


I have no one else in mind. I don't mind going back into the gaming connection for another. After all, that it was brought me into the fold. I think a bardic type would be nice. What does everyone else think?


I'm fine with whomever wants to join up, so long as they post pretty regularly...


It seems we are down another then?
Well I for one am fine with an open call.


Kozaric, do you mind putting out the open call? I can read but not post from work so its harder for me to respond, but I will help review the applicants.

Liberty's Edge

It would be appreciated... she says, popping in whilst posting a review before trundling off to write a couple of presentations: TWO job interviews next week!

Shadow Lodge

Male Husband/10 Dad/10 Gamer/5 RPGer/2

Great to hear about the TWO interviews. Good Luck!

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

Thanks... and a letter arrived, it's now THREE interviews :)


Done.
Please take a look every so often so we can decide who to pick. These things get flooded pretty quick and I said monday we would choose.

Sunday night. Looks like we have 4 to choose from, all are decent choices and any would work. I rank them as the following:

1) James Martin - bard
2) Talomyr (Andrezi Zeldana) - bard
3) martinaj - cavalier
4) Clifford Strauss - rogue


I agree that all could work. I think for our party's needs, one of the bards would be the better choice.

I would probably put Talomyr's bard slightly ahead, but both of them would fill the role nicely.


I think it is between:

James Martin - bard
Talomyr (Andrezi Zeldana) - bard

I like both really and can throw my vote in for Martin, due to the combat aspect of his bard.

Shadow Lodge

Male Husband/10 Dad/10 Gamer/5 RPGer/2

It's a very tough to choose but I guess its James Martin by a vote of 2 - 1. If we need another character, then perhaps Talomyr could be next. Kozaric, do you mind letting James know.

I'm happy with that.

Sovereign Court RPG Superstar 2010 Top 16, 2011 Top 32

I'd like to thank the Academy... For casting me out and beginning me on my life of crime! Mwah ha ha! Wait, wrong speech.

Thanks for the nod! I just need a couple of mechanics questions and I should be ready to roll shortly.

First, point buy of how much?
Second, what sort of starting gear ought I have?
Third, Anything else I should know?

Thanks again! I'm looking forward to the game. I've been following the IC thread and it looks like I'm hopping in at a cool moment!


I don't remember the point buy, James, but you can look at the alias I am posting with and extrapolate it out, if you want. Remember, I have racial bonuses already built in.


Okay, this is Diego Dellarillos, my bard. As soon as I know about starting wealth, I'll be good to go.


Welcome to the our party! I believe that when we brought Cephadrel in he used starting wealth of a 2nd level character, so that would be 1,000 gp. We just sold some gear that was confiscated after the Gold Goblin ruckus. I think if we split that among Ironleg, Kozaric, and myself,it will bring us closer to the wealth that you and Ceph have.

That would be 70 gp each for the three of us. Ceph was given a few magic items from the original items confiscated.

Is this fine with everyone else?


It's okay with me, Eroril.


Okay, Diego is a go. Pretty straightforward gear, nothing too extraordinary. Just let me know when you want me to start and I'll begin posting in the IC thread.


I hope your job interviews went well Megan.

How do you want to be introduced? My suggestion is that you have been hired by Mr Vankaskerkin and you are waiting for our return. We can do the obligatory introductions while we wait for Megan to return.

Liberty's Edge

Female Depemds on the game system (human in the real world)

Unfortunately they did not go well... or at least, I am still without a job :(

If Diego would like to turn up at the Gold Goblin, he'll find that they are still hiring in preparation of tomorrow night's re-re-opening.

And another question for you all: What do you want to do over Christmas? Shall we carry on or would folks like a defined break to allow you to attend your festivities and family gatherings without having to worry about a game?


I have no problem continuing over the holidays, but if it presents a conflict for others, I am ok with a brief hiatus. If we do that, we should define the restart clearly so that we all are back at the same time.

Sorry to hear that the jobs did not pan out.


I should be available to post, but if the others want a Christmas break, I am cool with that as well.


I'll be around.

Congratulations Diego on reaching the top 32 for the 2nd year in a row in the RPG Superstar competition. Good luck!

Great Scott - OUR Diego?

Well done! Keep it up...

(I cannot enter, ineligible...)


Sorry I've haven't been posting this week. We have visitors this at my house this week, so I have not had much time. Next week will be better.


Eroril Bazbek checking back in and ready to restart this campaign. Who else is still here and ready to go?


Still here.


Here!


I'm here, but I'm pretty worried about this one...


Yeah, I just lost 2 PBP last month. Hopefully this one isnt going the same way.


I'm still here


Great, we are all still here.

As I am still new to PBPs I'm not sure if the slow pace of this PBP is the nature of PBPs in general or this PBP in particular. It seems we are floundering a bit for a direction. Our investigations have not turned up any leads nor have there been any events to initiate action.

Any suggestions to get this PBP back on track?


This is the slowest moving game I am in, and I think that is the problem. It's tough to get a real foothold in a game only making a post or two per week, IMHO.

I know Megan is busy with the job search, but we have to have more active posting from the DM, if the game has any chance on continuing. That's just my opinion...
