Out of Character (OOC)

Looking back, I see that you are absolutely right! I''m sorry for the confusion!

Squadfather, I just noticed a couple of things missing from Zhang Wei's character sheet: You should have 1 antitoxin (0 weight), and poultices & herbs (1 weight). Might come in handy ;-) That would bring your Load up to 6/28.

Got it, I'll add them now.

I have just made a small but potentially important edit to this post so if you've read it, please read it again.

Here's the thing about spell scrolls in DungeonWorld: only a spellcaster (and the right kind at that) can use them. In other words, only Iko has any use for the two scrolls Meng found. In fact, if I could do that post over I'd say the scrolls only contained gibberish to Meng and Feng's eyes, but they easily guess the symbols are magical.

Since Wu Meng has more than the necessary 8xp to level up, do the extra xp carry over? (It'd be a pity if they didn't!)

Yes, they carry over. That's why on my tracker I have your XP listed as 5/9. 9XP is required to advance to Level 3. You're more than halfway there!

I apologize for the extended absence, folks! Work has been more brutal than usual. I can hardly remember when I last slept. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel; after a couple more days of this I can finally get back on the boards.

Thanks!

No worries Jabes. Gotta do real life. Please take care of yourself first.

Yeah no worries Jabes, make time for yourself.

I think this is also a good time to ask you how you are finding the game. Is it meeting your expectations that we talked about? Is there anything you'd like to see more of, or less of? What works for you, and what doesn't? It can be anything, whether it has to do with my narrative style, or the formatting (fonts, underlines, etc) that I use. How are you liking the DungeonWorld ruleset? Do you find any of it confusing or weird? If so, how can I do a better job explaining it?

Please don't hesitate to give me constructive criticism. I welcome it, because I would like to get better as a GM. And I think a good GM listens to his players. You can post here or PM me, whichever you prefer.

Thanks in advance, everyone!

Looking good so far Jabes, thanks for building a comprehensive and immersive world. Here's a happy complaint, too many leads to follow in your sandbox! :D

I'm quite enjoying everything Jabes, the situations we get into are exciting and varied, not to mention filled with details. I'm slowly adjusting to the DW rule set, but it all makes sense after a bit of reading the mechanics.

I'm having a great time. Keep doing what you've been doing.

With Vorn leaving us (temporarily?) I've edited my post to write Rong Hua out of the story (unexpected bonus plot hook: find a cure for Rong Hua).
I have a couple of players (RoAries and evecar_solaris) interested in filling the gap. Am waiting for their character idea submissions, will choose the one I feel will best fit the current group.

Just making sure we're all on the same page: Sungyeol suggested to do the jungle foray first while there's daylight, and recommended to postpone the hunt for the nocturnal beast until nightfall. Wu Meng nods, but suggests the opposite, and Zhang Wei also seems to want to do the beast hunt first. Replies from Iko and Xian could mean either way. You guys can do whichever way you prefer, but at the moment I'm not entirely sure what the consensus is.

Ok thanks for the status update. Let's wait a bit for our new players then.

Will have the new character join the party later. For now, I'd like to know what your next step is (apart from returning Mei to Shen Xin), including what, if anything, Zhang Wei does with the ring.

Hi, I'll be still using the ranger from Yatpun(decide on name later) . Let me know if you accept mine or the other player. Also, what unique things might someone from Yatpun have, in terms of culture, clothing etc.

Submitted my character kinda took a bond with Wu Meng, my shifu is Shifu Qian, of the school of air though. It's on my character sheet in more detail.

@RoAries and @evecar_solaris, you're both in if you can both commit to 1 post every other day. Would like the current players to recommit to this as well.
