DM Mathpro's Jade Regent OOC

[DM Mathpro]

Group 1's OOC:

Hello everyone. There are a few things that need to get done before we can get started but I understand that your all eager to start. I need to read the AP and Players guide cover to cover(hope to have this done today). I've been really behind on my preparation for this and I apologize but I'm sure I'll be able to make up for it. All final modifications to your characters need to be made before the IC thread goes up(hopefully tomorrow morning) I also want you guys to vote on a group name so when I start the IC thread we'll be able to distinguish it a little better.

Any questions can be raised here as well and I will do my best to address them.

Anyone who wants to lurk here can and should feel free to post if they want as long as it doesn't get disruptive.

[Alfonso]

Alfonso walks in. hmmmm I appear to be early.

He kills some time by inhaling some snuff before reclining on a green velvet chaise longue

"Perhaps a name from the classics? "The Profane Comedy? There and back again? A funny thing happened on the way to Tien?"

[Zhao Taijuro]

Zhao stumbles inside, hugging the wall while trying to stop the world from spinning.

He bows to Alfonso, loses balance and uses a chair as support.

"Greetings, Arufonzo."

He swiftly proceeds to fall down on the chair.

"How about Caravan Dogs? Then I can be mr. Yellow."

I'll be going out but will be back later to finish the profile and sheet. Thanks for the spot!

[DM Mathpro]

Well well well this is interesting...both Zhao and Nortic are competing for Ameiko's love. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

[DM Mathpro]

Has anyone here played Raise of the Rune Lords?

[Zhao Taijuro]

I haven't.

Did anybody happen to see any oriental guy on the image gallery for the forums? Can't find one to save my life.

[Notick Mostriaré]

Ah, but Mathpro, that is where you are wrong. He is competing for her love - Notick is winning it. *superman flex*

Anywho - any feedback on my character, criticism, changes?... It's pretty much finished otherwise.

Oh, and the name is NOTICK :P. Think 'No-Tick' in programming terms.

[Garesh Vin'dell]

@Math: No I haven't, but what I hear you guys are pretty far in it.

Great my friend NO-Tick his here! Thats right Ameiko, he might have fleas but as the name states he has no ticks!

@Zhao: Only close one is that orc one I believe, but off the top of my head I can't think of any.

Garesh is ready to go, I just figured out his personality mwuahhaa. The oddest drow you will every meet hehe.

[Alfonso]

I am in a game of it at the moment. Don't worry about spoilers though.

Why do you ask?

[Garesh Vin'dell]

Btw thanks Math for letting me another one of your games!

I'll tell you I was a little shocked. Also did you see I got Yuma to talk in the Hollow lol.

[DM Mathpro]

Now that is a secret Alfonso ;)

Does anyone know how to use Campaign Cartographer 3? According to the tutorials I found online some of the buttons didn't install when I installed it today...

[DM Mathpro]

Just out of curiosity what is your characters name, race, and class in Raise Alfonso? And the races of everyone else in your party?

Alfonso is human, the demon blood did not manifest that way. His name is Alfonso de Calientia and he is and will be staying an abyssal blooded sorcerer. What does "class in Raise" mean? This is a new term for me.

Could be a bad install. Friend had the same issue. Second install went fine.

[DM Mathpro]

thanks Poor.

I was wondering about the make up of your party in Raise of the Rune lords. I want to tie it into the start of our little adventure here. Exactly how is to be a secret...well until you read the in character thread tomorrow...lol.

Oh! Ich Verstanden! My character is a human priest of Gorzeh named Occa the Foundling. We also have; Stark Mostovoi, a wordcasting red dragon blooded sorcerer, Hawkeye Talquimm, a Shoanti eagle shaman, Skorabor Skalfgrin Boulderback, Dwarf fighter, and, Durvin Tamish, Halfling sea-singer and whip artist.

Durvin is very open and innocent
Occa is serious but did earn kudos by wandering through the festival with three apples stuck on his trident.
Hawkeye is rather bow focused at the moment. Likely stemming from not having his primary weapon during an attack.
Skorabor is loud and proud to be a Boulderback!
Stark is heavily tattooed and really does the man of mystery rather well.

We are here if you want to take a look DM Duke's RotRL - Burnt Offerings.

[DM Mathpro]

Thanks :). For the purposes of this we're going to assume that group defeated the rune lord.

[Notick Mostriaré]

I do believe it's official - Notick is ready to go!

[DM Mathpro]

excellent. I'll look over profiles once I get the in character thread up...working on it now.

[FuriaRi0T]

My 'refresh' finger shall anticipate this, greatly.

[DM Mathpro]

It begins

[DM Mathpro]

Right it dawned on me that everyone is supposed to have Relationship scores with the 4 NPC's(well there will be more later but it starts out with the 4). I will be setting up and posting a spread sheet that will have everyones scores for the NPC's listed on it. See the players guide for more details about Relationship's.

What I need from you guys is your starting relationship towards the 4 NPC's: Ameiko, Koya, Shalelu, and Sandru. Your starting options are either friendly or competitive. I'm going to assume you have met all 4 since you have been in town for a while.

General Notes:
Your relationship scores will generally be equal to your charisma modifier.
Insulting a NPC you are competitive will raise your relationship score.
Giving a gift to an NPC your friendly with will raise your relationship score.
Insulting a friendly NPC and Gifting a Competitive NPC will lower your relationship scores.
Everyone starts out with a +4 to the relationship score of the NPC their trait is associated with(Zhao-Ameiko, Garesh-Koya, Notick-Ameiko, Alfonso-Koya).

Like I said before more info can be found in the players guide and once I know what type of relationship everyone is shooting for I'll have the spread sheet up.

[Notick Mostriaré]

Ameiko - Friendly (8) (4cha+4Trait) - She always treated him a little bit nicer than anyone else in town, primarily because she always felt a bit envious of his being an orphan, rather than having a big family name lurking over his shoulder.

Koya - Friendly (4) (4cha) - He typically dislikes Clerics, due to his being raised by Iomedae clerics and being forced to train among them... But Koya's wisdom and adventure prone nature makes him unable to do anything but enjoy her company.

Sandru - COMPETITIVE (4) (4cha) - Notick also being the brash 'heart-breaker', he finds himself being competitive with this man on many different occasions.

Shalelu - Competitive (4) (4cha) - he competes for Ameiko's attention a lot with her.

[DM Mathpro]

Thank you Notick

[Alfonso]

Alfonso's friends and relations

Ameiko - Competitive 4. Somehow they just rub each other the wrong way.

Koya - Friendly 8. They have known each other for a while. He consider's her something of a crazy aunt and she considers him as a pet frankly.

Sandru - Friendly 4. Alfonso and Sandru have bonded over stories of Cheliax, Magimar and the larger world. They are friends and perhaps.....

Shaelu - Friendly? 4. Alfonso is attracted to Shaelu as she represents the wild where he represents urban life. There are some sparks but what kind of fire will start is anybodies guess.

[Zhao Taijuro]

Ameiko - Friendly 7 - She pities him a bit, and he feels duty-bound to her (along with some feelings he can't explain).
Koya - Friendly 3 - He respects and acknowledges elders, but isn't too familiar with her.
Sandru - Competitive 3 - Zhao sees him as some sort of dishonest scoundrel.
Shalelu - Friendly 3 - He respects her deeds but doesn't know her intimatelly.

[Zhao Taijuro]

Is there any lucky people out there that already got their copy of Ultimate Combat? I really need to see if anything changed from the playtest Samurai to the final one (and I'll need a couple feats too).

[DM Mathpro]

I have the .pdf of it. If you'll give me your email I'll give you the info for the Samurai.

[Garesh Vin'dell]

Ameiko-(Friendly(3)). Ameiko accepts the awkward healer, since on the more celebratory nights at the bar Garesh Stays. He heals those who hurt themselves from having too much fun and he does it for free.

Koya-(Friendly(7)) Koya saved Garesh and gave him his current drive to be a good healer for the people. He is fascinated with her, the drow still can't process love but the older Human intrigues him. He always hopes to impress her with his deeds. Still gets a little nervous around her.

Sandru-(friendly(3)) Garesh gets along the human and helps him out from time to time by healing so not to his "aunt" Koya worry about him. And Garesh doesn't say anything if the man swindles him.

Shalelli (competitive(3)) Not by his choice, in the beginning he tried to be nice but she found out he was a drow and distrusted him from the start. Every time he talked with the half-elf she brought up his people or said she’s watching him since she thinks he's planning something. So this competitiveness has gotten into arguments about archery lately, Garesh claims crossbow is better and she claims bows.

Sorry I was late on this, if you want to change any of my choices let me know. Also math I will not be around from Thursday to Sunday, so feel free to npc my character to keep the game going. Oh yeah GEN-CON BABY!!!!!!! Just giving you a heads up.

[DM Mathpro]

Thanks for the heads up...lucky bastard.

I've loaded the relationship tracker onto my google documents and you can access your scores anytime by clicking this link.

[Zhao Taijuro]

lmao at the facepalm ;)

[FuriaRi0T]

Lawful Good meets Chaotic Good... Get used to it! :P

[Zhao Taijuro]

I'm bordering on Lawful Stupid right now. Hopefully as the game progresses, Zhao will get his things together ;)

[Zhao Taijuro]

Ah Gencon, bane of pbp activity...

[Zhao Taijuro]

I'm brushing up on the finishing touches of my character sheet and would like to ask (mainly because I do not remember): What's our character wealth? Average the class value?

edit: Hunted down the recruitment thread and got the info: Max gold for the class.

[FuriaRi0T]

I think Alfonso died. :-O

[FuriaRi0T]

He's alive!... ALIVE!!!!

I am. Pity the GM seems not to shate that state. Does anyone have any info on the Vigoda status of this game?

[Notick Mostriaré]

I'm thinking that Mathpro won't be coming back... I've already decided to stop checking up on the forum for his game(s) now. :\
