This is the ooc Discussion for our game, it will not be connected to the recruitment thread because hopefully that fixes our Red Text problem.
Please dot in.
First glance at the party, I am a little concerned that you guys are light on healing ability. No one ended up creating a divine caster. Part of that is they are a little light in the selection of available characters.
There are a few that have UMD though...so if you want to make minor adjustments to your builds and equipment to make the party as a whole more survivable that is acceptable. So long as the basic concept of the character stays the same.
Also, having 7 party members instead of 4-6 should help out your survival.
Thank you for the invite. Looking at the party I too was a little concerned about lack of divine healing. I don't know what the witchdoctor can do healing wise. No one picked a bard either. Gog definately won't help in healing but, if we can drop things quick enough there may not be much damage. I did pick up a few cure potions though.
Cool. Thanks for the invite. I'll create an alias for Wizgille shortly now that it has been selected. While not a cleric, she can cast cure light wounds and does have UMD. So potions and wands are an option.
I'll grab a few potions of cure light wounds, and make an alias here soon. This seems like it's gonna be a fun one.
Nabbed a potion and got the alias done.
Dotting.
Will get the alias and backstory written up at some point today/tonight. Tomorrow morning latest.
Alias is WIP but dotting for now
I have never played an alchemist before...so just for clarity on my part...the spells she "casts" are on herself only...but then you can make potions for those spells...or with the right discovery be able to give elixirs of them to others...right?
Thanks for the invite.
I also noticed the lack of a divine caster. I considered putting one together but haven't had time. Looks like we have 3 characters with UMD though, with 2 of them being alchemists who can brew potions during downtime. Having 3 melee characters should also help kill things quickly.
I'll adjust my potions as I see that CLW are way more cost effective than CMW and get an alias.
Yes, the "Infusion" discovery allows others to use the extracts. Based on initial submissions, it looks like Natyli has it but Wizgille does not.
Alias created, stats from Recruitment added.
Will clean up the stats later tonight.
Dotting in! I'll have my alias updated tomorrow.
Re: Healing, I did strongly consider getting a Wand of Cure Light/Moderate Wounds, they're just so crazily expensive, but I'm happy to drop some other gear to get one of those if that would be more beneficial!
It might be something for you all to consider purchasing together...since the entire party would benefit from it.
I’m not very familiar with alchemist myself actually. I should probably adjust the character to have the infusion discovery too.
Dot! Dropped 2 CMW for 6 CLW potions and have plenty of gold to pitch in for a wand.
Wizgille - as far as the infusion discovery, it may not be necessary for both of you to have it. Look at how many of your extracts you need to be able to give to someone during an adventure vs. what ones you would brew up a potion of between adventures. I was going to suggest Precise bombs to avoid hitting us with your bombs, but after re-reading her description, I'm not sure she would have that.
Yeah I ruled out precise bombs as out of character as she is likely to accidentally blow things up.
I swapped out the Material Mastery discovery for the Infusion discovery. Character sheet should be complete now.
Okay, looks like we have everyone but Kaylin so far...hopefully she is still around. I am always nervous about the gap between submission and acceptance...alot of times it is so long, I worry people may drop in the interval.
I'm still putting the final touches on my sheet, mainly data entry, I'll for sure have it up today/tonight. Sorry for the delay.
If not, we'll still have 6.
Are we going to be an established adventuring party, or meeting for the first time?
I'm excited to start. It's been a while since playing a PC in a PbP game. I've been GMing an adventure path since 2015 though.
Okay, information transcribed to profile. She's at least playable now. All that's left is to come up with the Backstory.
Oh, do we need a backstory? I don't really know anything about the world these characters are existing in yet, so if I made a backstory, it would be kind of generic.
Backstory is not needed since we are adopting and adapting existing characters. Eve, you are good to go just with the writing sample you made in recruitment.
Awwwwe :(
Don't let me stop you from doing something you want to do. Just so it is clear that it is purely optional. :)
YAY!!! \0/
Thank you for the invite! I'm still around! :D
I set up the alias, turns out I hadn't spent all of my money yet either so I can look at chipping in on any party need for healing. I'll finish up all of the details this weekend.
Looking at the available avatars for Kaylin, this one looked like a particularly grumpy fey.
Are we going to be an established adventuring party, or meeting for the first time?
I'm thinking given the nature of the Red Dragon Inn we've known each other for a while, drank together, gambled together, and maybe tussled together. We may not have adventured together but I doubt we are actually new to each other.
GM may have other plans - for all I know we've been adventuring together for a while or this is our first night drinking together :D
I have 174 GP and 6 clw potions. I can turn some of the potions into cash to buy a wand of clw if need be. We need to come up with 750 GP for the wand.
As an aside, I wish Perform Dance was based on dex instead of cha. I think it would reflect his two left feet better.
I had enough money left over for a CLW wand. No need to go sell your potions. Turns out when I did my original submission I spent only a small amount of the starting money, so now that I’m finishing things up I could pick one up easily.
Okay, my crunch is all done - profile updated.
I'm ready to party!
Game play thread is up. I am not great at beginnings...so feel free to RP with Reg for a bit...you can try your hand at negotiating or ask questions to gather more detail.
Once you are decided on the path forward (I assume you are taking the job because otherwise this is a short adventure) we will set off for the base.
Did we determine if we knew each other? Are we interacting as strangers or familiar?
Familiar...possibly have done odd jobs together before. The odds have having worked together before are higher if you are from the same edition of RDI, but still okay if you don't...
So...Gog, Eve, and Dimli probably have worked together before...but maybe not.
Wizgille and Kaylin are likely to be more familiar...
Natyli and Bryn are the odd ones out.
Take this as suggestions though, I am fine with whatever pairings you guys feel like make sense character/story wise.
Dimli might be a little miffed at me right now, considering I just got him thrown out recently due to the hilarious prank I pulled in the Recruitment RP.
I imagine everyone that knows Eve is a little miffed at her from time to time.
Some people just can't take a joke.
I imagine most of us will be the butt of many of Eve's jokes.
With the nature of the Red Dragon Inn game, all the characters are kind of designed to be at least partial dicks to each other.
I noticed we're missing Natyli except her dotting at the beginning.
So my character gets a clockwork spy familiar as a class feature. It has the stats of a clockwork spy but can have whatever shape you want it to be. The RDI Wizgille doesn't have a familiar so it is free reign to pick what form it takes. I've been stumped for a while as to what is should be. Since it has flying, I was originally thinking like a bird of some sort. But then I thought, how about a pixie? It could be like a clockwork Kaylin (as long as that's okay with Kaylin).
I think that’s an awesome idea!
We’ve been hanging out long enough for you to get bored and make a clockwork version of me.
I will probably have to make snide comments about it at some point though :D
Sorry gang, I unexpectedly dropped & broke my laptop yesterday which is severely limiting my availability. Catching up on my phone, hoping to have a post tonight.
Ouch, sorry to hear that.
That sucks. Glad we didn't lose you.
Hopefully this game will pick up soon. Will we be getting a post a day or is this going to be slower than that?
I am normally around quite a bit on weekdays because I am stuck at my computer at work all day. Weekends are a different story, I maybe get to a desktop once per day on the weekend, but that is not always the case.
So You can expect 1+ updates from me M-F, but then on weekends I will probably get pretty quiet.
Having said that...let me go get an update written. :)
"Wait, does that make me the *edible* Kaylin?"
That's an amusing interpretation.
