OOC Discussion

Hello. Thanx for having me.

Wow. This seems in a way like it's the setting 5e was made for.

I am a bit overwhelmed by the wealth of material, but I'll get through it soon.

I am thinking that an Eladrin Fighter might be neat, someone who hews closer to the Nightmares aspect of Nod, and has adopted a mortal clan for inscrutable reasons.

Thanks for the invite, I'm looking forward to playing.

Thank you for inviting me! I have some reading to do it seems.

Wow! What a cool concept!

I know there’s a ton! Don’t let the volume of content overwhelm you!

There is no rush to get started. Take some time.

Thank you for the invite!

Right now I'm toying with an Elf of some variety (or maybe Half-Elf) Circle of Stars Druid. Though the Starling caught my eye as well. I'll dig more into the reading soon and start brainstorming. :)

Hello there! Nice to meet you all and to see some familiar faces. I got the pdf a few days ago and I absolutely love it. The artwork is amazing and some of the concepts of a primal world are really exciting to me. The new mystery of a shaping world and the absence of the normal framework of civilization and deities is really refreshing to a veteran D&D player like myself. One thing I missed is playing the truly outlandish in normal D&D games, but in this setting it's very acceptable. I'm hope we'll all have a blast with it.

Me too, man! Me too!

I too got the PDF and it's gorgeous. I have never played a "prehistoric" kinda game before, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Yeah, the setting is quite unique and interesting, thank you for accepting me!

I just want to say that this is my first adventure/campaign on this site AND d&d 5e is not my most familiar edition (I played a lot of d&d 4e and AD&D) so... if i do something wrong or I forget something please tell me immediately, I won't bite, promise!

(do not fear though, I played a few adventures in d&d 5e as a player already, so I do know the basics. I'm just not completely used to it yet)

PS pleasure to meet you all!

Thank you for the invite! Looking forward to the game.

I've looked over the Kinship section, but can I ask if Goblinoids and Shifters are allowed?

Yes, you can be anything related to 5e that is WOTC-approved, but we do have to figure out the best way to incorporate you into the world.

Goblins are easy, but changeling are a bit more difficult.

Maybe there is a level of re-flavoring to make it fit in the world. I’m open to collaborating on the concepts you are interested in exploring.

Thanks for the response!

I'll just specify that I meant Shifters, the part-were-people, not the changelings. I ask because the last Kinship post implied they could be playable, so I was wondering.

Ooh! A shifter could be fun! Let’s think about how that stigma might play. Maybe you were touched by a deity related to your shifter appearance, so you are considered godmarked, but it manifests differently.

Or maybe you are truly cursed with lycanthropy. If so, how did that curse fall upon you? How does it impact people’s perception of you when they first meet you? Are there clans that forbid your presence? Etc etc etc.

What a fun idea!

Glad that you approve! I'll keep these suggestions in mind while I look at the options and such.

There may be other ideas that you have to tie the character here. Feel free to bring things to the table.

Thanks for the invite to the game! So sorry for the late response. Was out traveling the entire weekend but I am now back to posting consistently every day. Will be going through all the threads to get all the information I need to start working on some character concepts!

Sounds good! We are excited to have you!

Hi All, I have 3 people who have responded to this poll about languages for our Planegea. Please vote by Friday 10/14 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time, and based on preferences across the group, I will make a decision.

Hi Everyone, Squadfather44 had to drop out for RL reasons. I have made an invitation to @ZeroCool, and I am waiting for him to join our second adventuring squad.

Welcome @ZeroCool !

**All Might style crash** I am HERE!!
Gonna read up this evening on where we are at. Might post an idea or two later.

Hello new food friend!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Welcome to the group! Good to have you here! :)

Welcome to the group!

GM. Any thoughts of when group one is going to launch?

Soon, probably early- to mid-week next week.

I want to flesh out plot hooks that will be shared between both groups, and have a living world that you all are interacting with.

Thanks for checking in on that.

Hey all, I have a villain’s path pretty well plotted out, but I wanted to see if anyone has issues with body horror. Some of the scenes may reveal things that go to an R movie rating, instead of just PG-13.

Would that bother people? If so, I will tone some of it down.

I have no objection.

What!!!! You were planning this without splattering of guts and blood everywhere! Hmmm.... :)

No concerns here.

I'm fine with written body horror. No worries here.

I believe one can describe pretty intense stuff without necessarily be excessively graphic (EDIT: in fact, the more suggestive it is, the bigger the impact imo).

However, if the violence is coherent with the story I have no problem with that... Stekko is ready to be torn to pieces!

Dude I've been playing through Doom for the last three months. Give violence a chance.

Oh, you’ll get to be violent, and you may receive violence, too!

Barbarian Zealot has a level 6 capstone I think you'll find very interesting. If get enough levels of experience you'll also be amazed at its damage potential against titanic adversaries.

I just played one through Descent Into Avernus ended up soloing Tiamat at the end of the final battle.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

I have no particular issues with body horror content.

Hi Everyone, I have a pretty busy work week this week, so my posting rate will be negatively affected. I will make a couple of posts when I have some time, but I wanted you to be aware that I am not ghosting the game, I have a lot to do in the short-term.

Take your time! The whole point of play by post is that we work the game around our lives, not the other way around :)

Hey all. I wanted to let you know I've unfortunately fallen ill. I'm constantly nauseous and dizzy so I cannot concentrate on pbp at the moment. Prognosis is that this will last a while unfortunately.

That really stinks! Get well, my friend! Your place is still here. We will let your character go on auto-pilot for now.

@khulod
Get well soon.

@heroamongmen
Digging that you just portrayed Baba Yaga exactly how I envision her. Just a sweet unassuming grandma.

This makes the vengeance against the gods quest more interesting and somehow darker.

How do you like that the Trickster God promised divinity to her for feeding Wotan his brothers Wìli and Wè? Wotan was in turn promised divinity for eating them, though he did not know until later that it was his brother's he was fed. So he has been cheated by the gods, his mother, and himself. This seems enough to make a creature of negative energy.

I’m good with that plot, so long as we also keep the tie to Nazh-Agaa that made you a revenant.

I have plans for that end to get tied off in about 8-10 levels or so.

Given strange aeons, death may die.

The plot thickens!

Hi Everyone, just a quick status update. I will have posts to continue the stories in both threads by Saturday.

Work and home life are a bit hectic right now, but should settle a little by the weekend.

Thanks for your patience.

It's all good. Take your time!

Take your time! That's the benefit of PBP.

Hey guys. I am feeling well enough to play again. May not be at my old postrate and miss a few days but things are getting settled at the glacial pace that these things work at.

How's the game though? I notice it hasn't been active.

The GM seems to be having a few issues IRL, so the game has gone dormant.

I'll be starting up again in the next couple of days. Just busy with work and holidays.

Thanks for your patience!
I'm glad that things are getting better IRL for you!

Sounds good! I'd love to give this setting a good chance. :)

On my way out the door. You all do good.
