OOC out of character posting here!

Welcome everyone to the game!
Jan 20, 2022 6:21 am
how much common knowledge about dragons exist in the world? Are they myth, legends , history or part of the world just as sharks are part of our world?
if they are known to exist what are their relationship with humanoids?

So far they don't seem to like them too much. :)

SOrry guys I am off. I had corona virus and now on vacations.
Jan 26, 2022 4:53 am
Hope you feel better.
Jan 26, 2022 10:01 am
thank you, I will...no worries
Jan 29, 2022 5:22 pm
Millyk, could you please answer my previous question and new ones:
millyk says:

The cultists tried to set buildings ablaze
Do we now what a "cultist" is? Could we recognise one if we see him on a street? Are they part of common knowledge or one need to roll any skill to know something about them (since they are no history but reality it would be something else than history, wouldn't it?
millyk says:

A half moon provide dim light throughout the town.
What do you mean by half moon? Is it night time now? Did wagon move through the night? How would we see dragon from afar if it was night?
Jan 29, 2022 9:44 pm
Are all those people on the map just regular citizens?
The cultists are gone now?
Jan 30, 2022 9:57 am
well you just see guys with robes fighting guards, kobolts, the dragon....
you know about the cult so I assume, you know that they are the bad guys fighting the town. @greyword

@ganesh no they are not gone. You just entering the town.

any other questions?
Jan 30, 2022 10:35 am
Btw guys for now I will put the limit posts twice per week, because I need to do some electronic rehab. Thank you for understanding.
Jan 30, 2022 5:53 pm
millyk says:
... you can decide with your party and discuss it with roleplaying maybe?
OK, let's discuss this OOC first.
4 strangers have each their own reasons to risk life running through town that in terms of 21st century is under artillery fire. Is there any reason they would gather for a planning meeting, sit at the round table, take coffee and discuss the best strategy to implement?
Sorry for sarcasm.
But I believe the only change for our team to become a team is that we all as a players agree that our PCs are running the same direction and just happen to help each other.

So unless anyone wish to split party and seek their own goals I suggest to vote as players what we all do and then figure out how to role play it. I see options
1. Sneak around in the direction of the keep (this is my vote as you could guess in the game)
2. Stay in wagon and wait for driver to make the decision for us
3. Forget out goals and go actively seek anyone who need help and help them
4. Use chaos to maraud (I hope we don't)
5. ....

Well.. that might have happened naturally if you didn't post:
Quote:
I have to see the keep, anyone with me? Without waiting for answer Hunter start silently running toward the keep, but try to stay off the main road (hide behind houses that I see in roll20).
LOL
Jan 30, 2022 8:32 pm
You don't stay talking when town is on fire bandits running around and a dragon flying somewhere, do you?
I am sorry for not making it clear enough that "start running" means only first 30 foot or something till get to the closest house, then he stops and look around to understand what do next.

Well.. No one was standing around talking since no one had even posted yet, and didn't you just post (your OOC not-withstanding):
Quote:
he advice others to save their lives and wait for the creature to disappear.
Your post essentially gave us no choice if we wanted to stick together. But you will notice I played into it.
Jan 31, 2022 7:57 am
OK, sorry for this OOC spam, let's move on and I will try to avoid doing actions that limit choices of other players.
But the way, just wondering - anyone would mind sharing what would their PC do different if I have not posted yet? I am trying to be a better player. And I just don't understand what else could I have done here.
Feb 1, 2022 11:52 am
ok guys... guys...chill out... you are both right, so the good thing about here with posts its like freezing time sometimes to ooc, until you can know each other better and know how to work as a team...
Greyword, I really like it you are over analytic, but sometimes try to slow down and just enjoy it, even if it means as a group make a bad decision...
Ganesh I know you have a gentle soul, so lets, as you suggested be more patience to everyone replies and just roleplay and enjoy the game. :) ok guys? are we good?
Feb 1, 2022 1:44 pm
I'm chill.
Feb 1, 2022 4:01 pm
Cool, shall we continue then?
Feb 3, 2022 11:10 am
btw guys any suggestions, advice or anything you are not ok with running this campaign, just let me know ok? the main point is to have fun here and I do not want anyone to be feeling bored or atacked or any negative feelings, while playing :) I am a noob Dm, so I really love it, that you are my players! :) Have a good day!
Feb 3, 2022 12:30 pm
I would suggest that until you get enough experience DMing battle encounters do them
[ +- ] Rules As Written
i.e.
I. Only roll initiative when actual fight starts. Do not roll initiative until at least one enemy have spotted us.
II. Battle map with PC and NPC starting positions must be set by DM (optionally in cooperation with players) before initiative roll. Chosein staring positions, knowing initiative order is wrong
III. I suggest put all cultists, guards and kobolds one after another initiative order so that when one PC have done their turn next one could do without waiting for DM to have since or two cultists do their actions. And as mentioned in Ganesh, this could even let all players to submit their actions in any order which speeds up a PBP fight considerably.

Maybe other players don't agree with me. I'm just ... conservative. When I see DM doing something different from what I'm experienced to see I get confused. So please ignore this suggestion until we are done with our first battle encounter, if there will be any issues managing encounter over PBP+roll20, only then I would suggest to revisit the advice above.
Feb 4, 2022 9:43 am
ok thank you, I will try to follow these steps :) yeah good point,next time to group same monsters/enemies easier to play, like this...
Feb 4, 2022 6:03 pm
Yes @GreyWord. I had mentioned to @millyk that putting all of us on one initiative can also help. Then each of us can post as our schedules permit. I haven't played a ton of games on here, but I've seen it done and it makes sense. Otherwise, each person has to wait for everyone to post before them in order which can make the PC's turns take much longer.

I've never actually had a game that was using roll20 at the same time. I also haven't used roll20 in a while. It is nice but does add an additional level of complexity. (These days I use Talespire with my IRL friends).
Feb 5, 2022 12:36 pm
Guys I fixed the map, because the distance was wrong and about roll20, I think it will help us and it does not making it more complicated....and I already said in the beginning, that we would be using roll20...but if anything seems not rolling, we can discuss it, like the initiative, if you cant be active to keep up and wait for your turn, because it matters in battles and not all of you attacking at the same time or whenever to post, even if it means you wait for a day or two. What do you think?
Feb 5, 2022 12:46 pm
I'm not sure whose turn it is.
Feb 5, 2022 1:11 pm
We are at Ganesh aka Xarathon doing his sleep spell, think of it as a surprise round. And Greyword told me it was a dodge action, not a hold action, so after Xarathon, it goes on top again. We go as the turn order at roll20, its the clock symbol on the left. SO.... guys if you please follow the order and wait for your turn even by posting, because it might change something until your turn ok?

The order is Hunter, 2xcultists, Jaelyn, Brommyr, Xarathon, rest of cultists and kobold is dead

Is it clear now?
Feb 5, 2022 1:12 pm
I mean, having to split between two sites to keep up with the flow of things does inherently make things more complicated. I don't mind popping out to Roll20 to use maps and such, but definitely the more that gets done there (without someone replicating it into here) makes it harder to manage. For example, using the Roll20 chat to ask for what players are doing and the like. One of the things I've found helpful in managing combat in general is whenever you post up your summary of what's happened, including some kind of blurb about who is up next can be helpful.

Definitely agree that "normal" initiative mode of everyone rolls and getting racked/stacked in order will slow down PBP combat tremendously. It's about the only medium where I prefer side-based initiative. It's a bit more chaotic sometimes and players may need to do a bit of retconning to what they post to make the flow make sense, but rounds typically resolve faster (a whole combat over in 3-5 days instead of potentially 2 weeks, for example).
Feb 5, 2022 1:16 pm
yeah thats why I copy things that are doing at roll20, so if someone misses the chat there. As I said roll20 will be a helper to visualize and do battles easier there and easier for me, that I do not have to screen shot every move and what is happening. ok?

and I agree I do not want chaotic posts, it is better to wait for your turn to post, especially at battles.
Feb 5, 2022 1:31 pm
ok I deleted my post that was out of initiative.
Feb 7, 2022 11:37 am
btw guys to make your tokens look better you can use this site TokenStamp
or I will use your picture and I can do it for you. Thank you :)
Feb 7, 2022 7:31 pm
I created my token, and replaced my portrait, but it didn't update. I accidentally deleted my token on the map so you'll probably have to put my token back on the map. Assuming I put the token in correctly. I might have screwed things up. :)

@Ganesh I fixed your token :)
Feb 10, 2022 8:05 am
Please let me know if we are waiting to Hunter's turn. I'm waiting for new round announcement and "resolving" Xarathon action (i.e. does the kobold die ?)

I suggest everyone to change their name in roll20 to match character name that would help reading toll20 chat. It could be done by tapping settings icon in upper right corner:

Putting this here since it's OOC and I don't want to clutter up the other thread.
GreyWord says:

I have fun fighting and seeing PCs behaving rationally for a group who has never fought together and don't trust each other just yet. I would see a mistake if we fight as a team, using teamwork as major battle tactics.
I see no player mistakes, just contrary. I'm happy with the story we are telling so far. If my PC death will be part of that story... that will be still be part of this great story. And by the way I think first chapter is good time for PC to die as player has not yet attached to it.
I agree. I much prefer to play more in the manner of my character - in this case just sauntering down the street because my ego won't allow me to cower behind buildings and bushes, rather than take advantage of mechanics just to be optimal. However, at the same time, I did consider distances, likely weapons and targets of the opponents, and my LOS to various team members in order to give myself a better chance of not being attacked.

I also like how it is going.
I think if we make some of the changes we were talking about it would go a bit faster, but other than that, its fun fun fun IMO.
If we die.. we die..

For bless, you can add a global attack/save modifier to your sheet:
First, on your character sheet click the gear icon:
https://i.imgur.com/VOWNwhj.png

Then, toggle on the "Show Global Attack Modifier Field" and "Show Global Save Modifier Field" options:
https://i.imgur.com/DF5RcSv.png

Finally, when you go back to Core, it should have a "1d4 [Bless]" option that you can toggle on or off. Then, when you use the attacks/saves from their respective areas, it will add a 1d4 roll on for you:

Feb 25, 2022 9:02 am
I hate to bring this topic up, but well... few weeks ago I decided to quit this game if the first battle will take more than a month. First roll of initiative were on FEB-1, so we are just two working days (4 calendar days) away from a MAR-1 and we still have two enemies at full HP and one more who could technically be waked by other NPC.
Anyway
- if DM has any idea how to boost battle encounters I am more than happy to stay
- I am OK to stay in the game a bit longer to allow you find a replacement
- I want to propose to try schedule 1 hour per week online session (using roll20 only and only for battle encounters). I believe a non boss battle for lvl 1 PCs should take about 30 min online.

P.S. My excuse is this - I do want to play ToD. I don't believe we will be able to play even 20% of the first book at the current pace before "life will happen" and game will stop. Not to mention that month is long enough to forget the story plot or PC .
Feb 25, 2022 12:50 pm
Greyword playing by post I notice in general it takes a lot of time.
I do not know how to make battles to go faster and using turns... it would be nice to play together online and if its possible, I do not know others, if they can.
Feb 25, 2022 1:14 pm
I already told you...I am lucky to have players with experience, so you can advice me to become better and we can play with more fun and I accept criticism :)
Feb 25, 2022 1:46 pm
I will throw in one more hint applicable not only for PHP:enemies should try to run away when they understand they are loosing the fight. That would be both reasonable end effective from game-time prospective.

Only undead and oozes don't have self preservation instincts, I believe.
Feb 25, 2022 2:20 pm
The big issue with that is that not all enemies are reasonable. For example, fighting zealous cultists that are willing to die for their god/worship source/whatever. They would be so fanatical they don't care if they live or die. Likewise with relatively unintelligent creatures. Some enemies do logically flee, but it is bad for immersiveness in the environment for every non-undead and non-ooze to just run. Not to mention characters arent always going to let them run. In our current combat, for example, Brommyr is uninterested in letting these cultists run away to ransack another village. So he would give chase if they tried to run.

The biggest "speeds up play" in pbp ive noticed is having players act in any order. You do lose some of the rigid turn based things, but it vastly improves pace. Typically how I've seen it is situations like we have, where players are all one after the other, let them post their actions in any order and as a DM you can tweak the action order to make narrative sense. Players can certainly specify some options there (like I try to Warhammer kobold a but Hunter kills him first. So I say my secondary target is kobold c. Then you resolve it appropriately). But it makes it where instead of 3 to 4 days to go through one round, it can usually resolve in a day or so.

Scheduled live play is 100% not an option for me. I primarily play PBP because I can't specify a block of time for guaranteed availability (my in person game we have a session once or twice every 3 months because of scheduling difficulty).

And as much as I love the roll20 side, I know for me it does add effort and time to the combat. Rolling and detailing everything in GP streamlines that, even if using Roll20 just for map visuals (because it is better for that). I don't mind the effort, but bouncing between the two makes it more jarring as a player.
Feb 25, 2022 3:41 pm
Right. I'm throwing int too much ideas that may not work. It would be great if DM assume extra effort and responsibility to tweak player actions submitted in order other than execution order.
Theoretically that changes battle turn from 10 step process DM->P1 -> DM->P2 -> DM->P3 -> DM->P4 -> DM->P5 in two step process DM->AllPlayers. The benefit is obvious.
Feb 25, 2022 11:01 pm
ok guys lets try this method then... two steps... enemy turn and all players have one day to post their turns in any order.
Mar 1, 2022 6:41 am
Actually I would like to have some recap or guidance from DM on the current situation. I'm confused about two things. First is the same question Dramasailor asked in game chat:
millyk says:

An attack from cultists, bandits and kobolts looting houses and Greenest guards defending it and fighting.
millyk says:
Xarathon casts sleep and you can see two cultists out of the sudden fell down and they are sleeping.
Conclusion: Either the cultist magically turned into a guard or our PCs just going crazy. Guards are good guys and cultists are bad guys we don't want to mix them up do we?
Question: Do our PCs understand how it is possible that a cultist fell asleep but what we see now is a guard ? Could roll arcana or something to understand how cultist turned into guard?
millyk says:

The cultists tried to set buildings ablaze.
Question: does this mean woman just got into the building that's set ablaze? Or is it only "haystacks and barns" that could as target buildings ?
Mar 1, 2022 12:06 pm
its just haystacks and barns burning down....

I do not understand your other questions...
of course guards are the good ones and cultists are the bad ones
why are you confused on the guards and cultists? I wrote cultist that you tied up and awake
Mar 1, 2022 1:41 pm
https://i.imgur.com/8wTK5Wt.png
Mar 1, 2022 2:59 pm
Here's the point where my confusion is stemming from:

https://i.imgur.com/tKWiRMA.png

Here, you state there is an unarmed cultist and a sleepy guard.

From there, Jaelyn asks the unarmed cultist to surrender and then states they are tying up a sleeping cultist (which is the start of the confusion I think, because we now have a description of 1 cultist and 1 guard. But are now tying up an undescribed additional sleeping party).

https://i.imgur.com/pCU62lD.png

Xarathon readies his firebolt for the cultist being asked to surrender.

From there, I ask the following (as pointed out by GreyWord):
https://i.imgur.com/hLcUcvW.png

Which you confirmed as yes, we have 1 hostile (the cultist being asked to stand down) and 1 town guard that we wouldn't want to tie up.
https://i.imgur.com/oXRpQul.png

I come over and add my presence to the threat, and you describe:
https://i.imgur.com/PSODdvn.png

Here, you describe them again as a guard, but this time tied up. Now, they are speaking as a cultist but defined as a guard. Brommyr would react very differently if they are visually the same as the cultists (because known threat). But someone that appears to be a town guard now acting like a cultist is a different matter and possibly someone that is not in their right mind.

This is why I'm confused. The person has been described several times and confirmed as a friendly town guard that was put to sleep.

This is one of my concerns with having the Roll20 piece as well as the forum in terms of "what is the source of truth" for who is who on the map. Personally, descriptions written in the forum (for me) are the unarguable truth of the story. Roll20 should only ever give a visual reflection of what we've described here not the other way around.
Mar 1, 2022 3:15 pm
ok my mistake I meant cultist....I corrected it
Mar 6, 2022 12:39 am
Sorry I haven't posted quite as much. This week was pretty crazy.
Mar 12, 2022 8:35 pm
millyk says:
A half moon provide dim light throughout the town.
millyk says:

Xarathon and Brommyr, you both can see with darkvision at the distance more kobolds and cultists.
Could you please clarify those contradicting statement - is the moon gone, are dim light not sufficient to see creatures at 60 feet or are there other reasons DM mention that only PCs with dark vision would notice enemies?


Also. Why no NPC react to my PC suggestion to use magic stones? Do they choose to ignore my PC talking? Should I repeat the suggestion in game thread ? I do think magic stone could be super useful with weak NPCs such as children, because they could throw stones at the enemies and I can imbue 3 stones each turn.
Mar 12, 2022 9:20 pm
I ignored it, because they are commoners, they dont fight... and I am trying Greyword...I just thought, you would have trouble seeing...:-/ ok let me correct it...to : you are all seeing them, as shadows to the distance through smoke
Mar 19, 2022 3:54 pm
Guys something important, because I am going to add people on roll20 to play this campaign twice per month.
For now on, the chat on roll20 will be busy.

So I suggest the attack rolls and every roll to be written here and to use the map only for visual and moving tokens.
Mar 19, 2022 5:51 pm
I'm perfectly happy to roll everything here on gamersplane.
Still I'm a bit worried about two teams sharing tha same roll20 game rather than having a separate game copy each.
Could you please explain/confirm:
1. We will not see tokens of the other team or tokens of the monsters the other team is fighting
2. We will not see the maps of the other team
3. You do not plan to prevent us seeing enemy rolls, so it could spoil types of enemies to be faced and their attacks.

P.S. Maybe we could totally abandon roll20 and you could show us map on gamersplane just us in any other gamersplane game?
Mar 19, 2022 6:55 pm
yeah....good points....I was just going to copy maps, so no worries everything you said is not interfering with your map....just ignore the chat and the rolls...
Mar 19, 2022 6:56 pm
well if we abandon roll20 then I will just need to screen shot and using it only by myself...whatever you like
Mar 19, 2022 6:58 pm
and just avoid log in for no spoilers, when we were going to play every Wednesday between 17:00 until 22:00 Greece time
Mar 19, 2022 6:59 pm
But if you think it wont work, I will just make screenshots...no problem
Mar 26, 2022 5:42 pm
millyk, I feel I got misunderstood. I did not asked WHO summoned dragon. It is obvious indeed.
I asked the lore of term summoned

As a player I know that DnD there are summoning spells which - if caster loose concentration - cause summon to become hostile. More over I know that these spells usually have a limited duration (i.e. hour) and it would be most logical now to hide and wait for that duration. I hope my PC does not know all of that and will proceed into the keep to investigate.
Mar 26, 2022 5:45 pm
ok, so your PC does not know all of that...yeah, I agree
Apr 9, 2022 6:47 pm
Hey Guys, sorry I havent post for a while, I have two part time jobs and I did not have the power to post anything...
Apr 15, 2022 7:12 am
I assume we proceed with the game. Since it have been quite a while, could we have a recap or at least current situation description. Because what I read is totally confusing

Recap
1.
Party arrive at Greenest to find it that guards are fighting with cultists, while kobolds marauding, but all guars we see are soon dead, we are able to fight back though, capturing one cultust.
2.
Party meet some survivor commoners and help them to the keep, attacked by dragon
3.
Hunter and Xarathon get on the walls to help defenders with their ranged attacks
Meanwhile Brommyr and Jaelyn (still holding imprisoned cultist) is escorted to Castellan Escobert The Red (superintendent)

4. (now is the confusing part)
Castellan looks at Xarathon who is on top of the wall...
Castellan want party to return to the city to seek for more survivors, but do not care for anyone to fight the cultists or stop kobolds. He is so afraid of cultists who keep out of ranged weapon range that will not allow to open the gates.
Last edited April 15, 2022 7:12 am
Apr 15, 2022 11:43 am
Some clarification would be pretty good, because I read #3 and 4 slightly differently:

We entered the keep and asked for who we should talk to about helping. They sent us to the Castellan (Escobert the red, dwarf with all the keys in the keep). However, Hunter did not accompany us to them, he went directly to the walls. Xarathon presumably went with us to Escobert as they addressed him, however, they then went up on the walls as well (unless we're retconning that movement after seeing what the dwarf said for where they needed help).

Once we met with Escobert and he saw the prisoner, he told us to go see Governor Nighthill because he was too busy dealing with defenses to deal with an interrogation.

So I see us currently as:
Hunter is on the wall, has not met Escobert and is unaware of what instructions he gave and unaware of the tunnel.

Xarathon met Escobert and asked what we can do, he mentioned retrieving residents via a tunnel instead of the main gate. Xarathon stated they were joining Hunter on the walls, but not sure if that will be changed based on the talk with Escobert now.

Brommyr was taken to where the injured are being helped, but was then taken to Escobert as well.

Jaelyn brought the prisoner to Escobert but he was not able to take charge of that and instructed that the prisoner be taken to Governor Nighthill.

Agreed that we need a refresher (or a restatement by players) of where we believe our characters to be at the moment.
Apr 15, 2022 11:50 am
you are right. If this is better for story I don't mind if DM narrate hunter is together with the rest of the group to skip unimportant interaction. I understand there will be no narrative for players on the walls achieving anything
Apr 15, 2022 5:43 pm
I was just trying to stick with other group members really.
Apr 15, 2022 8:42 pm
Guys you are asking me questions that your character needs to decide what they are gonna do or where he is. If you skip some info, then another member will inform you. I do not see the point discussing that here, since Hunter decided to stay at walls to help on defense and if Brommyr wants to go heal himself fine too... so what I am trying to say all your questions can be answered by roleplaying and just keep it rolling....is not wasting time if the group is split, you just need to regroup and Jaelyn and Xarathon will tell you about the new mission, with a quick post I inform them about the mission, thats it.

Ps: about Xarathon you are confused, because Ganesh made a mistake and thought Hunter is with you. So he needs to correct his post. SO simple.
Apr 15, 2022 8:45 pm
sorry I only asked a recap. I got it. Hunter on the wall. period.
Apr 15, 2022 8:46 pm
ah ok, then the recap is good. only one small mistake from ganesh
Apr 15, 2022 8:48 pm
posts can be so difficult ...I miss face to face sessions
Apr 15, 2022 8:50 pm
if only we could find a day to just do a session online on discord all of us...it would be nice, but being around the world make it difficult.
Apr 15, 2022 10:58 pm
My questions are only confirming that my reading of our adventure so far is correct and the characters are all where I think they are in order to write proper posts.
Apr 15, 2022 11:02 pm
Yeah ok...so is it clear now? I am sorry, if I am being laconic, but it's my personality trait... :-/
Apr 15, 2022 11:16 pm
If you agree with the four "where we all are now" items i posted, clear as crystal :-D
Apr 15, 2022 11:21 pm
Yeah ...Brommyr went to cure his wounds, Hunter is on the wall defense and Xarathon and Jaelyn are talking to Escobert
Apr 19, 2022 2:52 am
I have no spell slots, so I'm a little loathe to go running off to more combat, although it seems that time is of the essence.
Apr 19, 2022 10:12 pm
Well you can choose not to help and not do this mission, if you want.

Well.. what do we want to do?
Sorry I've been a little out of it. Switching jobs right now. Very exciting times.
Apr 27, 2022 2:57 am
I'm for going through the tunnel.
Apr 27, 2022 6:01 am
Since DM declined narrative of my PC joining the party when they departed to meet Castellan Escobert The Red my PC is on the walls not willing to leave walls as it may be treated by guards as coward behavior and have negative impact on their morale.
As a player I should wait for what the rest of the player do, shouldn't I?
Apr 27, 2022 9:43 pm
Brommyr is in the medical ward, basically just waiting to see what help is offered and anything related to that question/situation from my last post.
Apr 28, 2022 12:39 pm
btw Greyword I did not declined anything to you, your character just chose to go there, if you want to go find the others, feel free to do it or probably they will come to you
Apr 28, 2022 2:38 pm
I never told you limiting my character, you just did not want to push story forward. OK I will to the actions on the wall.
May 10, 2022 6:51 pm
are we waiting for someone?
May 10, 2022 8:35 pm
Well it seems everyone wants to go to rescue the other townfolk.
I would prefer to rest first, since I have no spell slots, but it seems time is of the essence.
May 11, 2022 12:37 am
Hey all, I'm going to be less active over the next 2 weeks or so. I did something that screwed up my shoulder and it puts me in a lot of pain to sit and type. I've seen the doctor and am on a 2 week course of steroids to get it under control. I should be back sooner than 2 weeks, but it may be that long if it takes the full time to be not painful. Apologies all around and I hope to be back soon.
May 11, 2022 9:03 pm
Hope you will get better soon! @dramasailor
May 11, 2022 11:59 pm
Get well!

I guess it is a matter of minutes before there is none to rescue, we can't even take short rest, long rest is out of a question.

Anyhow. While Dramasailor were the last person to post in game channel, could I have an answer to my question - were we waiting for someone?

P.S.
I'm waiting for DM to narrate my PC action/questioning results since Apr 28.

P.P.S. I brought this up once again I have not changed my mind, if it is only me who think it is too bad we can't manage first chapter of 2 book module in half a year I am more than happy to abandon this game and give place to players happy to try only 10% of a module.
May 14, 2022 11:31 pm
I am sorry Greyword can you repeat what are you waiting for? because I think I lost you in translation... I did not know you were waiting for me and for what specific reason? and its the second time you want to quite this game, if you are not happy here... I do not want to keep anyone, if you are willing to be more flexible and patience I will appreciate it. As I said, I am a noob dm, but I am also open for criticism to become better and to point out any of my mistakes. Thank you in advance for understanding :)


ps at Greyword: I thought it was something you were wondering like an inner dialogue questions you had
May 24, 2022 12:57 pm
Hey all! Back in action and getting caught up on all the games today. Shoulder feels significantly better and I can sit at my desk without pain, which is a massive improvement.
May 24, 2022 5:05 pm
Great news. RL is for people that can't handle gaming!
May 24, 2022 11:52 pm
Welcome back
May 26, 2022 7:41 pm
I've noticed @hannabarbera has been inactive on the gamersplane for almost 2 weeks and haven't posted in this game for last 4 weeks. Are we moving on as a 3 players, hiring new player or waiting?
Should you be hiring I would ask to also hire someone to replace me as this game is too slow for me to feel involved.
May 26, 2022 10:06 pm
ok Greyword... I respect your decision and we will still have fun together on the other campaign of Dramasailor that we are together :)

@Hannnabarbera are you still with us?
May 27, 2022 7:04 am
The details of my decision: I have always been willing to fulfill my social contract and stay in the game as long as it benefit DM and other players. My PC still has all spell slots unused and could help others to survive. If there is a change to finish chapter 1 in next 3 months or so I could stay to help you finish a chapter. However if you are hiring a replacement for one player right now I see it would benefit everyone to replace my PC at the same time.


P.S. I envy your lack of addiction to a DnD game. I am addicted to this game just as any other game I'm in and it hurts when I can't have other dose of the game in a while. Recently I realized I am willing to play DnD with similar people.
May 27, 2022 1:40 pm
yes I understand your addiction... I am just too busy in real life, thats why I changed it to twice per week posts here. I am also started a dnd project and I manage the team with voice actors to start dnd online sessions and I will start a rl campgain...

I will give some days to hanna to reply, I sent her a message too and then I will kick her, if she wont reply and start finding replacements.

Honestly I am sad, that you are leaving, but as I said I cant force you to stay, if you are not happy here playing. So... I respect that.
May 29, 2022 10:52 am
I made an announcement to find two new players
May 29, 2022 2:35 pm
OK I'm leaving game to avoid new player confusion. Good luck and have fun!
May 30, 2022 2:13 pm
Sounds good!
Jun 7, 2022 8:08 pm
Sorry guys, I had corona virus. I took a week off
Jun 8, 2022 12:37 am
Yuk. I got it earlier this year when I was in Dublin.
Get well.
Jun 12, 2022 12:04 am
Ok guys, 3 new players coming
Jun 12, 2022 12:07 am
Welcome! Prepare your characters sheets, read a little of the story and a sum up: we are still on chapter 1 Greenest, given one guest, you are in the keep, we will make the introductions inside there.
Jun 15, 2022 2:52 am
Whoa. I'm looking over this game and there's a lot going on. I think I'll try a newer game. Sorry yall
Jun 15, 2022 11:10 pm
Actually not very much going on, particularly right at them moment. We fought some cultists and now we are thinking about going to fight some more.
Jun 16, 2022 10:36 am
oh well he left... so we need one more
Jul 1, 2022 12:58 pm
Am I the last person we are waiting for or are we still waiting for another?
Jul 1, 2022 2:24 pm
I think you're the last one. The game looks like it's been sitting idle awhile, though. We'll see if it gets off the ground again. Got your character submitted?
Jul 1, 2022 5:01 pm
Yup got it submitted through gamersplane. I did not submit it through Roll20 as it looks like they are not doing that anymore. Submitted a cleric dragonborne since ive never played a dragonborn or cleric before and it looks like some healing might be needed in the party as well as help tanking with the fighter.

DM would i be able to use some of the starting gold on items in the players handbook?

I think they use it for maps, but not rolling, but I could be wrong. I joined recently, too and they had me submit to Roll20.
Jul 1, 2022 8:10 pm
Hmm thank you. I am trying to add a character sheet to roll20 but it is not letting me add a character right now. I may need to be approved first or something to be able to add a character sheet to it.
Jul 1, 2022 9:06 pm
Yeah. PM millyk your screen name and she can invite you, so you can add a character.

Jul 6, 2022 5:15 pm
yeah i pressed launch. I see the two in the keep several dead cultists and kobolds and a big blue dragon after i launched roll20. I see Tasrek in player group 2. Do you need to assign me permission to modify it or something?

Jul 25, 2022 3:19 pm
Just wanted to double check and make sure you are not waiting on us for anything right?
Jul 30, 2022 11:13 pm
yes sorry...no free time
Aug 12, 2022 10:25 pm
I sent a private message to Dramasailor... so we wont wait for him more time
Aug 13, 2022 9:50 pm
Whatever is best. Hopefully he is alright. He wasn't on for a few weeks but it shows he logged on less than a day ago
Aug 17, 2022 3:21 pm
Sorry about that everyone, real life came in and kicked me square in the teeth. I'm just now getting back to the point of being able to actually stomach opening a game and reading things.

Sorry to have ghosted you all!
Sep 7, 2022 12:49 am
Millyk, would you be comfortable taking over Drama's character for a bit? Seems there's still some stuff going on, as they've been inactive for 14 days now (no hard feelings future Dramasailor).
Sep 7, 2022 7:43 pm
ok, I will do that
Oct 2, 2022 10:11 pm
Are we still posting at a minimum twice a week? I'm not really sure what to post right now
Oct 4, 2022 4:59 pm
Guys I am sorry, but i can not run this anymore... I am new to this system and the pace is too slow.... I cant play dnd like this...I decided that I will cancel it. I do not find it interesting anymore. I apologise to you all.
Oct 4, 2022 5:01 pm
NP Milly. It was dragging a bit. It is a difficult medium. Good luck!
Oct 4, 2022 5:58 pm
Not a problem. Yeah it's a bit different than in real life. Have a good one everyone!
