Out of Character

There is no out of character, there is only Crom!

But one question for the panel is, does the adventure I've chosen sound interesting? I like that sort of adventure, but it can be light on RP unless you all enjoy RPing mostly with each other.


I have maybe nine published adventures, so other options are available. Shipwrecked? City adventure? Pict invasion?

I like to RP, but tbh, this is my first time with the system so it would be good to spend time learning the mechanics. The adventure sounds great

I may or may not cite the "Conan the Salary man" parody account in this thread. I'm good with whatever. Not having a whole lot of experience with the game, I'd just like to give it a try. You're kind of doing all of us a favor by running this, so I would say make it, and/or interesting for yourself as well.

The location certainly seems to be very interesting. Not enough data available to render judgement on the actual adventure.

Sorry for the lack of communication. Dealing with some home and life issues that are taking up a lot of time and mental bandwidth. Hopefully I'll be able to pick my posting rate back up soon.

Oof, that didn't age well.

Long story short, I am moving house but it's a drawn-out process for circumstantial reasons. Things should be settled by February, I'm really sorry I stumbled so hard here.

Thanks for the update. I'll bot you until you're ready to keep it moving.

The next bit is the climax of the adventure. We should discuss next steps.

1) Call it a game and wrap it up
2) Moar adventures await - in the jungle
3) Moar adventures await - back in the main realms

If we continue, do we recruit additional player(s) since CaveJohnson hasn't returned to active Conaning?

The game has ground to a crawl, but what're your feelings, Qralloq? What's is your gut saying besides, "moar cookies!"?

When I ran this game, it was under the premise of running a single precanned adventure to hopefully give us all a bit of a taste of how the Modiphius 2d20 Conan game plays. My plan has been to end it after this adventure.

My gut is saying the while the three have you have faithfully continued to particpate, it seems to me to be at a less than a satisfying pace. I bear much of that responsibility of course. But you do keep posting without complaint, so maybe you're actually happy with the pace that we've evolved to. That possibility is really what drives the question of whether we should continue.

If we did continue, we'd want to have a discussion about whether we alter that and increase the frequency of posts.

I must apologise as I am definitely in part responsible for the slow pace and I did originally ask about this game. I have realised the additional time it takes to learn a new game rather than play variants of D&D.
I have enjoyed the game and am happy to play to the conclusion or take a breather.
Thanks Qralloq for setting up and GMing the game!

Given the feedback, let's finish the scenario then call it complete.

One thing I'm unhappy about is my handling of Momentum and Doom. As the GM I should be posting these as part of my updates so you know what's in play. This level of accounting is easy at the table with beads or counters, but harder for a GM running things off his phone primarily. That's probably more important for the sake of anyone trying to learn the game.

No problem on winding things down soon. Any game requires finetuning to work for PbP,but if you come up with something good, a separate thread or OOC comments, I'd be interested. I assume whatever works for Conan would also work for all 2d20 games.

I am going on vacation tomorrow for a week - back next Saturday evening. We are staying in a farm cottage in a remote part of Wales so I won't be able to post until next Sunday.

I was going to post a response to the whip attack, but everytime I look at that sheet I feel like I have to rebuild the whole character to figure out the stats.

I should have done that ages ago for each of you.

Sorry, I thought it wouldbe ok since it's more or less the official sheet. Is there something I can help you find?

What's Cur's melee skill and Focus?

I'll copy down what's n the sheet
EXP FOC TN
Melee 2 2 14

Does that help?

Thanks
