Inn of the Jovial Jabberwock

Welcome, welcome!. Please make yourselves comfortable. Remember to be nice and I promise I won't let my metallic friend here bend you till you break. Ha ha ha! Enjoy the cold ale and the fiery tales of adventures past, present and future.

Hey everyone! Sorry for starting late.

Greetings fellow travelers. I look forward to exciting adventures and good ale.

Welcome, welcome my dear gaming colleagues. I hope ya'll having a nice weekend. I'll be posting the background/lore of the first game in the Prologue thread of each of your characters. I do hope we can get 2 or 3 more to join in before we can start with the main event.

BTW, given the options I offered for the classic modules, which one would you prefer? Have ya'll seen the rather eccentric rule set that I posted? Any comments? Especially with the home brew stuff? Thanks again for dropping by.

Hello to everyone! Thanks for let me join you!

Greetings Nova and welcome.

There seemed to be such a strong interest when you posted in the general forums. Lets hope they step up and we have some exciting times.

Me too @Danyar. But then again you know how these things go, more like a roll of the dice. We'll wait for the rest until to the end of your Prologues. If the group stays solid, even with the lesser numbers, we can still push forward into the first module. I'll be bumping up the IC thread after a couple of days and see how many we can still draw in.

BTW, please post your character links in the Player's Notes section so that I can review and assist if needed. We can begin going through the Prologue once you are complete or very near completion. The Prologue is a short solo adventure and is based off from one of your key PC ideals, bonds, or flaws.

Hello all, just found out I was invited, still a bit new to gamersplane. Sorry for being late!

A question to start off with, what is everyone playing so far? I can't open character links. Perhaps only the DM can.

Hey there @Khulod. So good of you join us. You mean you can't open the Player Notes section? Hmmm. Let check the permissions and please test again. Thanks.

I can open the section, but the link to the character sheet doesn't work, this one:
https://gamersplane.com/characters/dnd5/12141/

Hmmm, that is indeed odd. Let me check with the player and see if there was an issue making/saving his PC sheet. BTW can you test if you can access this one? LINK

Greetings Khulod. I am playing a researcher Rogue.

Announcement Thread update.

Hey Danyar!
Nope. I get a "No Character Found" page.

I'm thinking about giving the Artificer a spin for that Eberron feel. :)

@Khulod, Go for it! I think the latest version is this one, https://media.wizards.com/2019/dnd/downloads/UA-Artificer2-2019.pdf. BTW the sheets you are attempting to access we’re not submitted and approved yet. See if you can view Nova and Danyars sheet now. Anyway, do you need help with the PC sheet setup?

I managed to get my own sheet created and am working on that.

But can't look at the other players' sheets. Also, is part of the forum hidden? I can't directly go to the Rules or Player's Notes subforums. I first have to go to the Game forum Map thread and click from there to find the subforums. Only the Prologue subforum is visible from the main forum.

Thanks for the update @Khulod. I'll see what I can do with the PC sheets. I'm new to this site so I am still feeling my way around. But the missing/hidden forums are the result of a bug in the GP site. I've already asked for help about it and they just told me to wait till the issue is fixed. The obvious workaround is just to setup a map thread. Wonky but it works.

Edit: I have reviewed your PC sheets @Nova and @Danyar. Please respond to my inquiries as soon as you all can. Your Prologue stories are waiting. *evil grin* ;)

Your prologue game is up @Khulod. Here's a quick link.

Wooo!

Ooops, my bad. I got too excited and forgot to post the OOC in a spoiler. Updated it. Anyway, I'll be opening up more slots since the other players have grown quiet but hopefully have not gone "ghost". Have a good weekend.

You too!

Ps. I'm not sure about the Valenor, but according to the 5e book elves meditate instead of sleep, but they can still dream. I imagine that is part of how they commune with their ancestor spirits.

You are correct, Valenor elves do meditate to "sleep", though not the same way we humans sleep.

Hello, all. Excited to join, though this will be my first romp in Eberron. I am thinking of playing a halfling cleric (healer). Thoughts?

Welcome! The beauty of Eberron is that it's both unique as a setting but familiar at the same time. You'll get a basic grasp for it in no time. All you really need to know is there was a big war that made half the continent go boom, so what was left of the warring kingdoms stopped fighting openly (OPENLY) and now adventurers go... adventure. Oh, and there's dragonmarks and weird crystals and airships. Yay!

Halfling healer screams House Jorasco, the Dragonmarked Halfling House of Healing. Work for them, you got to make a living out of your vocation, and very powerful friends. You don't have to be dragonmarked yourself (but you could).
Second, Halflings from the Talenta Plains have some cool lore in that they ride dinosaurs. No, that is not a mistake. No, that is not silly. It is awesome. Go look up the pictures. Halflings riding dinosaurs. Being badass badasses instead of hairy-feeted layabouts. Amazing.
You want to be in the halfling healing mob whilst being a conan-wannabe halfling riding a dinosaur? Eberron has got you covered.

Deities are really meh in Eberron though. You could just worship the Sovereign Host and be part of the mainstream religion. The Silver Flame is more your rabid witch-hunting church. Did some really bad things in the past in the name of goodness. Always handy when you can point at someone you don't like and call them evil and have your rabid followers murderstabburn said nuisance. A little genocide and all that. They never said sorry. There are a few other religions. They get weirder.

Quick character build question: what is our starting level?

Level 3.

For the new guys, I'm an elven artificer. And this elf variety likes to ride horses and waging war on whatever inferior race crosses their path. Breed the best horses though!

I have submitted my Artificer

Competition!? O.o

Link to my character is out as well.

You are not of house Cannith, so there is no real compete ;)

Just to be clear - I am ready to start the prologue

Noted @runekyndig. :) Thanks @geekwards for building you PC rather quick. Btw my apologies for the lack of some OOC banter in your prologues but feel free to raise any questions or highlight a correction/adjustment. Cheers!

I'm sorry, but work had been crazy, with 10+ hour days, meeting and deadlines all week. It's a cool prologue, and my goal is to write a proper response no later than Sunday

No worries and thank you for letting us know. Me, myself and I appreciate it. ;)

I am also ready for prologue whenever you get a chance.

Thanks @geekwards and @GeneCortess. Your prologues are up! Feel free to post your questions given that I know I have not given enough information on each of your scenarios. Then again, I may not. Hope ya;ll having a good weekend. I'll update the rest tonight and tomorrow.

Have I missed something, I have posted a reaction to the opening prologue, which is finding himself in a strange place, with a spooky voice talking to him, but then nothing happens

I am planing on buying Eberron: Rising From the Last War new DnD book, and I an ready to re-work my character with the official Artificer roles (currently using those at DnD beyond
