Private Campaign!
Placeholder for Discussion
Hello everyone! I am Florr Hemera, adventurer and cleric of Valkur, the mighty lightning God of the waves.
Alright! Double eyepatchers.
So this is the "Discussion tab", we'll post out of character here and in character in the gameplay tab.
My goal is to try and post with a rhythm like a traditional in-person session.
1) I'll explain a situation.
2) You post your character's visually apparent actions and or words based on their motivations.
3) I'll explain how that affects the situation
4) Repeat.
Out of character conversation, housekeeping rules talk etc happen here.
My other goal is that eventually, we'll pass of DMing duties. I tried to find a premise that allowed for a pathfinder society like experience with episodic plot elements that would make sense. Hopefully, we'll be able to use Haven's Cross like a home base that would eventually grow and change as each of us have a turn with it. I don't want dming to feel like a chore, so when one person feels like giving it a whirl they will find or write or mash together a fun adventure that would normally be a couple hours of game time at a table. Logistically you'd just need to make another alias under your same screen name. We could also all share the mega pdf with all the town info/adventurers guild.
Use the short formatting guide below where you type a post to help you with how to communicate in/out of character and how to roll dice and other cool stuff.
I'm hoping people are willing to agree to post at least once a week to start. It doesn't have to be an essay, but something to contribute and help move the story along.
What do you think?
Sounds great to me! I'd like to play for a bit, but I would like to do a bit of DMing as well.
Still waiting for my full handbook but I'm planning on making some sort of caster level one be damned.
is there a way you rolled the dice on the message board or did you roll them on the table?
There's a button below the text box that you can click and it will show you different ways of formatting text. One of them is for dice rolls.
put the word dice in between []
optional = description of roll (ie perception) can go in the first brackets
dice you are rolling ie 1d20
then /dice in between []
so example if you replace () with [] you can do something like this:
(dice=whore it up check)1d20(/dice)
Yep!
Most of the formatting you should need is in the down below cheat sheet.
"How to format your text"

I think casting is far better in 5th. Cantrips are better as well.

can I do non-traditional dice?
I may have gotten the hang of this and maybe even this and this.
These non-indented paragraphs in my post are killing me. How do I do that?
[dice=dice rolling test roll]1d20
can I do non-traditional dice? [dice=pointless test roll]1d16
I may have gotten the hang of this and maybe even this and
this.
That's some fancy stuff, Mike.

Don't think you can here... I've tried several html codes, including <BLOCKQUOTE> and but it seems Paizo is allowing just for the codes listed below.
Anyone else have ideas?

Hrm. I guess I'll get over it!
Anyone have any strong feelings about campaign setting?
I was hoping we could come up with it as we go. Invent the places you're from and we'll put it together as we go type of thing.
What do you think?
Make it up as we go works for me. Otherwise I'll probably have to go back and play Baldur's Gate again to know what the hell is going on. Wait....maybe that wouldn't be too bad.

Man, I died a lot in that game.
Me too. It got somewhat easier once I found the auto pause whenever something hostile came into view. Still a bit of a grind though.

I enjoy making it up as we go along! We can use parts of the town and write our own adventures if we want, or use the outline that I know comes with the town.
I'd like to DM one scenario, but not too soon. I'm happy with Kris running a few. Anyone else interested in DMing?

I might be willing to give it a shot after a few sessions. 5e seems less intimidating rules wise compared to pathfinder.
If you guys could hook me up with character info that'd be awesome, either in a profile here, or a digital character sheet. I'm mostly looking for your backgrounds/flaws/traits, stats and skills.
Most of my info is in my profile page. I just added a traits/flaws section.

I'm cool with you guys keeping some things secret or revealing them in the game, if you dont want to put them in your profile other players can see.

I'll happily take a turn at DMing at some point, once marching band season is finally over. I'll get a character sheet uploaded this weekend.
Awesome!
