And by later today, I mean tomorrow. Sorry.

Tried to make this post an hour ago, but got interupted...

I'm thinking we keep the back-history all the same, except Atticus steps into Maeve's role. I'm also thinking of starting out with the party already all together and right at the outskirts of Lessef...it will be easier on me, and we'll dive into the story quicker.

I'm not really planning to keep track of XP...I'll use the adventure's level guidelines as my base, and basically just tell the group to level up whenever it seems appropriate based upon the progression of the story / accomplishments of the group.

Oh yeah, and everyone gets max hit points at first level. Yay! Mwaa haa haa...you'll need them.

Does that sound OK to everyone?

I'm going to read through the first chapter in a couple of hours once I get off work, and then I'll start up the PbP thread.

Anything that allows Narcisse to survive standing up works for me :). Amending.


***INACTIVE***

Sounds good to me. In the aftermath of the chill washing over him, Talisek suddenly feels a bit healthier.

And so it begins...

Yay! Posted.

Me too on the Posted.


Don't want to interrupt your game, but did want to say how great it is to see you playing Splinters. It was a fun book to help write (even if it took a long time to get to your hands, but that's another story).

My faves are Adv. 5 (which I just finished converting to SW) and 7, but I'd love to hear what you all think as you go along. Any reviews you could post on any sites you visit (good or bad) would really be great, too. (It's tough getting books recognized in this market, and actual players/GMs opinions really help.)

And I'll be eagerly reading this post to see how things go for your group.

Feel free to shoot me any e-mails if you enjoy the adventure at Splinters-of-Faith [at] hotmail.com.

And good luck and have fun.

Feel free to throw any feedback towards me in this thread.

Already managed a tearjerker moment. Awww...poor Narcisse. :(

How common and/or accepted is human child abduction in elven society?

Eh...I'm gonna go with fairly uncommon. Maybe they were "charitable" elves who wanted to rescue her from a dying village. Or maybe they were just jerks. I'll let Narcisse figure out what her "adoptive" parents were like.


Male Human - dash of elf Miniature painter/ Heroic

Cool. I think Valen's folk only take in children who are lost or in some way marked for some special reason. So, the idea of deliberately kidnapping them would be distasteful.

Well, to quote good ol' Jeb:

Narcisse thinks she was rescued by the elves when her family died of plague. Maybe they told her that to protect her, maybe they thought it was true. We'll find out.


Male Human - dash of elf Miniature painter/ Heroic

Valen thinks it was true, or thinks they thought it was true. You get what I mean. :D


***INACTIVE***

I may not be able to post much this weekend--will be at an SF con, and I don't know if the hotel charges for internet.

Shadow Lodge

Great Old One High Priest of the Outer Gods

I hope I didn't scare Valen away by having Scaby extort a gp from him. :P


Human

You won't have done, but he got a bit of bad news yesterday and may be a little patchy the next day or so.


Gotta say I'm loving the game so far. Getting the gold piece was priceless. I can't wait for what's coming next.

Would anyone be interested in taking over a PC in a game I'm running? Or indeed in joining?

It's the first Kingmaker adventure and we're using the Savage Worlds rules currently. Let me know if you'd be interested; the group is only a short way in so there's not much to catch up.

Ideally you'd be familiar with the Saavage Worlds rules but there is a free primer from the Pinnacle Games site if you're not.

Yeah, I kinda liked that little bit of evil greedy inspiration when it hit me. I can't quite decide if Scaby is a jerkass with a heart of gold, or jerkass with a heart of even more jerkass-ness.

Rocks fall...you all die.

just kidding!

Yeah, that's right. Almery is serving Thanksgiving dinner. Consider yourselves lucky...I thought about introducing a were-turkey.


Haha, excellent.

Shadow Lodge

Great Old One High Priest of the Outer Gods

I kinda feel like I've slacked off on this a bit lately. Thus the Turkey Dinner of exposition. :P


Well thus far it has been an excellent turkey dinner, so we will forgive you :P


Human

Narcisse has no clue about turkey, but she's enjoying the food.

Shadow Lodge

Last time I spoke to Nathan/Atticus, he was pretty busy at work, which probably explains why he crashed at the inn.

Liberty's Edge

It's been kind of quiet lately--was it something I said? :-)


I'm heading into finals week...sounds like that's why Narcisse has been less active as well.


Human

I'm a freelance drama teacher and tis the season to be neck deep in nativity plays. "Mary and Joseph were friends. Yes, you do have to hold her hand. No, you can't kick him. Yes, I saw you doing that. Don't."

Liberty's Edge

Well, good luck with the plays and finals & such.

I'm currently trying to transition from one giant ($3.2B) government contract to the contract that will be taking it's place. Over the last 48 hours, I've spend more than 30 of those hours in meetings.

Still, Kuwait beats Iraq or Afghanistan.

I was also hoping to bring Nate back into it soon, but haven't been able to contact him.

And now you actually look like your avatar, there? (I'd be pretty close after a meeting schedule like that.)

Any further word from him?


Not doing well this week--on top of finals, my computer just broke; so internet will be limited until I get home on Saturday and can get my old laptop running.

Shadow Lodge

Great Old One High Priest of the Outer Gods

How do you guys feel about maybe putting this on hiatus until after the New Year? It seems we're all pretty busy. Vote yeah or nay?

Works for me...I'm going to be traveling a bit between Christmas & New Year's, and the week before Christmas is frantic by definition. We're at a good breakpoint now.


Human

Seems fair enough. It's not a bad place to take a break.


Male Human - dash of elf Miniature painter/ Heroic

I don't mind either way.


Sure, sounds good.

Shadow Lodge

Diety

Check in here if you're game to start this up again.


***INACTIVE***

Ready here.


Male Human - dash of elf Miniature painter/ Heroic

Word.


Human

Good to go.


My posting may be a little slow, but I'm ready to start again (should respond within 48 hours, just not so sure about 24...will do my best).

Shadow Lodge

Great Old One High Priest of the Outer Gods

Still haven't been able to get any good communication with Nate as of yet. Do you guys want to proceed without him for now? I could rule that he's feeling bad, and doesn't go with you guys on the fox hunt. In any case, he would proceed to fill you all in about the dreams he's had.


Male Human - dash of elf Miniature painter/ Heroic

Sure thing.


Human

Works for me.

Liberty's Edge

Same here.

Shadow Lodge

Great Old One High Priest of the Outer Gods

Great news, I talked to Nate and he should be posting again later today. So we're off....
