OOC thread

This is where we can talk about the game out of character

@Eyes It's your turn when you come online. We are going to play out the beginning of your backstory next.

What time zone are you in, I'm in Central and free almost all day so if we can be free at the same time, we can make it run through in a day if you want

I am Central time zone in middle Tennessee USA. I get on from 7:30 to 9 in the morning CST cuz at 9 I have to go workout, get ready for the day then clean and stuff then I check here in the afternoon after I eat lunch after 1 pm and stuff. I post every chance I get during the day.

Posted. Hope you guys are still enjoying this.

Posted and the necklace is now a magical item that is very useful.

Pretty sweet score Woody for 3 silver!

Yep yep

yep not taking any chance of showing it to anyone either. It was just a ruse to get intel on the shop that happened to pay off big time.

Awesome job everyone. Can't wait to see what happens next.

But eyes, if you want to attune to that item you got you can as it's a really good and useful item or you can give it to someone or sell it.

I'm afraid one of the big kids I'm working with might take it if they see it

gottta get a little older

Ok awesome.

Posted. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Amber, If you are thinking about switching over to another backstory, my thoughts on what Tink is up to tonight might coincide with the heist. But if you’re planning on going on more with Woody that’s fine too. I’ll adapt my ‘story’ to make it work in any case.

I'm Okay with adding Tink, bring 'em in and he can go to jail for me... lol

I'm going to continue with Woody until after the heist then will do Tink next followed by Ollie.

Okay 😊

Man, this is getting exciting! 😁

Don’t be left holding the bag Woody!!!

Let me know what you guys think so far too.

And awesome perception check for Woody, Eyes.

Sorry about my slow posting. My week has been busier than expected. I hope to have my chararcter completed later toay

Basil, in my character intro I said Ollie was already adopted…is that okay, and does it make sense for your concept?

FYI…I updated my opening post to include a little about Tink’s appearance and added his comforting tool belt to his story.

Yup Ollie was already adopted. But the Thief Maker/King of thievs is in the process of looking raw lalent that can be molded into into the next generation of "honorable" thieves. An artificer would be a great addtion to the "A-Team"

Bet you know the music that is playing in my head right now.

Awesome.

That's ok Basil. We are going to do the first part of Ollie's backstory after we finish with Tinks so far. Its still pretty good so far so I can't wait to see what happens next and I hope everyone is still having fun so far.

Great fun. Thanks everyone

Gonna post shortly! Just finishing up my nephew’s 16th bday

Ok awesome. Happy birthday to your nephew!

Thanks.

Just posted

Posted back.

@Seck it's your turn when you come back online. This will be the final thing you post for Tink as we will be moving on to Ollie next as I will be finishing up the first part of your backstories and you will all be together once you all come to see Flora. This is still a lot of fun and I can't wait to see all of you together soon.

So we have The Warlock, The Thief, The Artificer and the Fighter.

Btw, Baroness Georgette Grimes sounds like Bernadette from the TV show the Big Bang Theory.

That was fun! Thanks. Looking forward to Ollie's beginning.

And that is where we end Tinks backstory for now. I'll start Ollie's backstory tomorrow.

No problem Seck. Hope you enjoyed it. Posted the final part of the first part of your backstory so far.

What do y'all think so far? Just curious.

Definitely fun so far! I don't think I've ever played a fantasy game so fantastical. I can feel the Hayao Miyazaki vibes where things can mysterious, unexplainable, and surreal. I enjoy those movies.

A lot of fantasy games I have played in have been more rooted in a 'natural' medieval world that just happens to have, elves, orcs, wizards and dragons. Not things magic shops that appear and disappear depending on who enters them...and everyone is okay with the existence of such things as a matter-of-fact.

This will be a fun change for me. Thanks!

@Amberthegirlgeekgamer87 So Ive updated Ollies sheet, with a bit of a story. Came up with in on the fly with a bit of help from the AI. Hits all the important points I think.

Amber, I know I kinda 'spoke' for the Baroness in Tink's opening posts, saying a bit about what she was doing and stuff. I only did that because it is the beginning and backstory development stuff. And I was wondering as things progress your feeling on that.

I think I would rather not speak for or say what any NPCs are doing as the game proceeds. I'd rather my posts be Tink's reaction to others and explanation of Tink's perception of whats going on and his intentions.


But I am okay with telling this story anyway you want.

Seck that is totally fine, I'm ok with it. We are collaborating on the story together so it's fine.
And no problem.

And awesome Basil, I'll take a look but we will do your backstory tomorrow.

Agreed. Again, I don't have seen anything by Hayao Miyazaki, but I love the surreal/fairy tale vibe.

Def watch Spirited away and kikkis delivery service and howls moving Castle Svande, they are pretty good movies

Posted. Basil, it's your turn when you come online.

thx! Ill jump on that when I get a moment!

Awesome! Will stay patient then. 😁🤗 looking forward to it

I love how the story is going. Love readingceach and every post and I am curious how this all goes with Grandmother Sophie.

I agree Svande. Basil's post was so nicely written. It wasn't a lot of words but it said so much about Ollie's current situation and how he feels about it.

@Seck Ha thanks! Ill try to keep keep it up!

Out of curiosity, we have another rogue in the party, have you given any thought to how your going to specialize? Im looking at being a face myself.

Probably battle master, but I suppose that depends on what these thieves at the guild teach us.

Everyone needs a big friend!

This, is a fun one. You're doing a great job.

Thanks everyone! I am having fun with everyone's backstory so far too so looking forward to playing Basil's backstory with him as Ollie. Will post back tomorrow though.

Posted back.

Finally have more time for postings! My son got me a TV way too big (I think he thought it would be funny) so I decided to get it wall mounted, but before I could be satisfied with that I wanted to get the walls painted and get everything looking tight before it goes up.

The last week or my living room been a disorganized mess, something that drives me crazy. All that work should have only taken a couple of days but the Mrs is in Florida and Ive got an Australian Cattle Dog Pup that demands all my time on top of 8hr work days. My free time fills ups pretty quick!

Cool pup Basil, my wife and I used to foster for Texas Cattle Dog Rescue. We had a bunch of red and blue heelers come through of all ages. They all got adopted pretty quickly, one even went to a family in Maine.

Ya mine is a Red and a rescue. Smart breed, way too smart sometimes! If you got any tips or tricks for raising a super smart high energy breed send em my way.

I just put in a fence. Shes trained to ring a bell when she wants out, but has been known to punk me on more than 1 occasion. She doesnt like being outside unless someone is there with her. With the weather getting nicer though she is finding more alone time. Another pet. Not in the cards. I joke about a treadmill but I chose a dog with a high energy level to keep me active! Looking forward to more trail time and getting her more socialized with other people and animals. Shes pretty good so far but she is very protective, barky not bitey and she is super clingy has to be where the humans are at all times!

Clingy is normal. Important to socialize though. Go to dog parks, regular parks, car rides, city streets, the more people the better. At home, she'll still be protective but you won't have to worry as much about an incident in public or with people you invite over.

Awesome

Posted back Basil.

Hey basil. Its your turn to post when you get a free moment.

Will do

Alright posted . It's your turn Basil. Woody is mentioned in the letter too.

Hope you guys are still enjoying this

Having fun! Soon we’ll all be in one place!

Yuppers! Question, are we lv 1 with skills atm? On no.

FYI... I wont be able to post until later in the day tomorrow

Okay. No worries. Nice posts the last couple days.

Everyone is at level 0 right now and that's fine.

Awesome job everyone though.

Posted and now Eyes and Basil gets to have their scene together as they leave tomorrow night to Grandmother Sophie's cottage in the Enchanted woods.

Basil it's your turn to post when you get a free moment.

Posted . Awesome job everyone. You are now all together, yay!

Wow, and all I had to do was go to a Dr appointment in Austin ... lol

All together. Yay.

Yep. I'll start up the next post later. Got to go play dnd with the Fantasy island Explorers today so stay tuned.

Have fun!

Thanks . It was fun tho only two of us came to play.

Awesome job so far everyone.

I gotta say, this game has the best breakfasts than any game I’ve ever played before.

Thank you. Glad you are enjoying it

@Basil,@Svande,@Eyes post when you get a free moment. Have yall all waking up and been greeted by Grandmother Sophie who has breakfast ready for you.

Thx, will post something later, have to go into the office today!

Awesome job everyone. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Grandmother Sophie will explain the pest problem to you guys soon. I have an idea of what it is but will let her tell it.

Awesome job. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Posted. Ya'lls turn.

Can't wait to see what happens next

@Basil,@Svande,@Eyes,@Seck btw, the cellar is actually a dungeon and is the first one of the game. So this will be your first time traversing one as children.

Awesome job everyone. Posted back.

If y'all have any other ideas for book titles and stuff that Buckey might sell in the future, let me know.

Hope you guys are able to get what you need at Buckeys shop.

Keen mind is an awesome feat too.

Flora, ollie do you want to buy anything or borrow a book or whatever? Just curious.

Hope you guys are still having fun.

Still fun. Thanks Amber.

No problem. I'm looking forward to you guys doing your first ever dungeon crawl as kids at level 0 and yall can always run away too and come back when you get stronger too.

And it's sad that Tink didn't get his book but maybe Ollie already read it since he is a very fast reader with a photogenic memory so Tink could ask him what it said.

Also saw the wristband flamethrower online and its pretty cool.

You could also make Pyro from Xmens fire gloves too.

And I think artillerist artificers can create a flamethrower and use it as a bonus action that has the spell burning hands in it. @Seck

I think your idea of the flamethrower wristband was what I saw online and it was awesome.

I was just trying to make Tink look really sad so Ollie would tell him the good news that he remembers everything in the book already ;)

Oh ok. Cool. 😁

Btw, I'll wait until Svande buys her items then everyone can go back to Grandmother Sophie's cottage for lunch and leisure time because no one is allowed outside after night falls due to the dangers in the woods and stuff.

@Svande its your turn to post. Let me know if you want to buy the dagger and component pouch from Buckey

I meant to get everything we intended to buy with the amulet as a security deposit. Woody figured a magic amulet like that had to be worth at least 2 or 3 hundred gold, remembering he's a kid and has no true idea how valuable things really are, it could be worth 50 or 5000.
That being said, if you'd agree, let them get the things they wanted and add it to the total for me.

I think that I am on a different timezone than everyone else here.
I am very pressure sensitive. Please give me some time to read and respond...

Central Time Here, Texas, USA - UTC/GMT -6
I think the other three are on East coast time - UTC/GMT -5

I'm Central time here Tennessee USA

Sorry if I am being pushy. I was trying to give everyone a turn since we post every chance we get to. I'll stay patient though. Sorry about that

Will post more tomorrow. Logged in to a place with wifi cuz I'm without power right now due to a tornado that was in my area last night. My family and I are safe and ok. So I'll do my next post later.

Oh no! Glad you are safe!

Wholly Guacamole GeekGirl!

Yep. Our power finally came back on like an hour ago after being without it all day but everything in the fridge is ruined and stuff now. So will def get back to the game tomorrow. Tornado passed over my house but it took out houses and businesses and stuff a few miles down the road. I'm just glad that we are all safe.

Me too! I hate tornados. Moved out of the alley but we still get them pretty regular

Well I live in the country out in the woods in middle Tennessee so I lived close to the small town that got destroyed down there. But our main road has been shut down and we have had to get wristbands to get back to our house down there anyway. I'm just looking forward to when it's a regular road again.

Wow the town is destroyed. Wristbands to get home That’s so wild! I’m glad your family is alright.

Yep. We're all good, my mom dad and I since we all live together as my sister lives in the city where MTSU is which is only 30 minutes away from where we live. But the town near us lost the historic readyville mill and a general store near it, tons of houses and a wedding venue that was close to the post office. I don't even know if the post office down there is still standing but I'm looking forward to when our road gets back to normal.

Awesome job everyone! Btw, I'm creating a homebrew Deck of many things. Those are the cards Grandmother Sophie is referring to that is in her Storm cellar that is a dungeon.

Btw it's your turn to post. 😁 I'll stay patient.

Amber can you make sure I am calculating the Observant human variant feature correctly. I read it again and it seems like Tink would get another +5 bonus to investigation on top of the +5 he already has. That seems like A LOT.

For investigation he get +3 for his intelligence attribute and then investigation is the skill I picked for his proficiency bonus. So that would be +2 more. Then if the observant feat gives another +5, that's +10 total...WOWZA.

@seck I believe that feat adds for "Passive" roles.
10+wisdom bonus+Prof bonus = base passive perception, then add your +5. You would not add the perception skill - You also wouldnt get a roll. it is what it is

Oh right 'passive'. Of course. The description threw me because it mentions investigation. But I see, yes, it says 'passive' intelligence (investigation).

That's funny. I don't know how one investigates passively. I think that is covered by passive perception.

passive investigation can be a tricky intepretation but I think i got that figured out...
Investigation helps you to put together clues...that others would miss, like the butler is left handed, or his shirt looks cheap but its acutally well made...Things you notice without trying.

I have a druid in another game with a passive 19 and a +9, I took prodigy feat and made perception an expertise. plus high wisdom cuz he's a druid. my dm in that game doesn't use passive anything so it's super important to succeed when he says roll perception

I think passive investigation is the least understood skill. Passive perception is easier to understand... you notice something... one way to put it is passive perception allows you to see the notice clock, Passive investigation notices the clock has stopped, and active investigation allows you to see thats it has stopped because it is broken.

That makes sense

might be something to discuss with the DM, how she uses passive perception/investigatation. Depending, it might be better to get another feat... I took an oddball feat keen mind but im hoping to make creative use of it.

Yeah, in any case I’ll keep observant feat because I’ll make good role playing use of it too. I figure that’s how tink figures things out and becomes a better artificer over time even without (potentially) a formal mentor and formal training.

Well put. I think all the passive skills get overlooked most of the time because it's difficult to use in person. also it's just something else to have to keep track of as the dm

I think of it as Sherlock Holmes like... he notices details that might be relevant that others miss...he then uses those details to solve a crime....another example would be everyone see's the Bum....but holmes notices the bum has nice shoes....hmmmm strange....He wasnt looking specifically at the bum...he is just keen on details.

The observant feat is fine and I feel like investigation is like how a detective discovers clues and stuff. Perception is what you currently see in the area. Insight is how you can discover a person's true nature too. I feel like those are the most used checks people make besides survival, arcana and history. Deception is if you are trying to lie and stuff too .

I had y'all roll perception cuz I wanted you all to roll and what you got is what you see in the room. There are 9 floors in the cellar and you are only on the first floor.

Btw, haven't got a chance to work on Floras character sheet yet so going to work on it on Friday.

Still pretty good. I can't wait to see what happens next. Crazy Flora grabbed the deck of many things though.

Hey. Just wanted to let y'all know that I won't be on this weekend due to it being Easter weekend so I'll be back to posting on Monday but I hope you guys are having fun besides the cauldron attack.

Grandmother Sophie is offering to train you all to fight and do magic and stuff though so it will be a good chance to learn new skills and more.

This weekend will give me a chance to work on Floras character sheet too. So see everyone on Monday.

If you want. I can get a new player. It'd be His first game on gp.

That’s okay Amber. Have a good weekend!

Thanks and I will. And I'm fine with just us right now.

Yeah did my post for the day but I'll see ya'll on Monday. Happy Easter weekend! 😁

Have a good time, Happy Easter

So, we have been at this for quite a while now and are still lv 0. I know this was supposed to be a 0-20 campaign. Do you have an idea on how quickly you plan to move throug the levels? Personally im finding it tough to play a kid and would like to move on with some adventure.

The training is going to take 6 months to get everyone to level 1 and then you guys can try again in the cellar again.

If y'all want to do a time skip so everyone can get to level 1, please let me know.

It is only the 2nd day of Summer cuz it is May in the game right now so it'll be October in game time when your training is finished because you are basically spending the Summer with Grandmother Sophie and Flora right now.

This is my first time running a campaign like this where you play as kids to adults from 0 to 20 but I could time skip the 6 months to get everyone to level 1 if you guys want me to, just let me know. I'm sorry that the game is slow for everyone. I got the inspiration for this from the Worlds beyond numbers dnd game but I don't know how they did it from kids at level 0 until they became adults at level 1 but I think they did a time skip after the kids adventure.

And the animated cauldron was a homebrew creature I found online so it was kind of tough anyway and I have Tome of monsters 2 from kobold press that I am going to throw at you too. So this is a homebrew dnd 5e game.

I haven't had time to work on Floras character sheet yet cuz I've been busy but Friday I am going to work on it, I promise. Just wish I knew what her original stats were and stuff cuz I know she is going to go warlock with the archfey patron.

I wouldnt spin your wheels too much on her character. Shes essentially an npc. Unless you create detsiled character sheets for all your npcs.

It’s okay about Flora. She has been in the story despite not having a character sheet. (Although as GM can you access the character sheet that Svande submitted?)

Also, I don’t mind jumping ahead 6 months at all. I think our characters have had a pretty good chance to develop a bit and interact as newcomers to Grandma Sophie’s place and rules. I would welcome moving on.

I can check and ok cool. We'll do a 6 months time skip then if everyone is ok with it. That will be my next post then.

When Svande left the game, the character did too so am not able to see it anymore so will have to create her character from scratch and just make her character sheet at level 1 later.

oh that's too bad about Flora's character sheet.

Amber, telepathy sounds pretty neat. Is it like the feat in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything?
Telepathic Feat

Or something else? However you want to do it is fine by me :)

Yes it is @Seck and your allies can respond back to you. It'll be like a mind walkie-talkie.

Going to be working on Floras character sheet this weekend so I won't get back to posting until Monday so have an awesome weekend. Won't be on tomorrow cuz of Fantasy island dnd too so I'll be working on the character sheet offline and will copy and paste everything in on Monday.

Okay have a good weekend

Got Floras character sheet done and posted what happened to her during her 6 months of training and how she met her Warlock Patron Lord Oberon King of the Fae. Enjoy and I'll be back Sunday and Monday.

Have fun!!

enjoy!

About initiative, I'm in favor of using passive init or dm rolling init and setting up the turn order. It saves alot of time for GP PbP.

My system is like this if you want to adopt it.

Red= Death saves or unable to act
Green = Active turn
Blue = Next
(use parenthesis for info)

So typical round could look like this.

Sir'se
G5
G6 (prone)
G3
Malikos
Fray 14
Captain of the Guards
Stephan (Advantage)
G1 (fleeing / 1 turn), G2, G4
Jilree (Handcuffed to G3)
Curator, G7,G8


BTW, That was a really, really hard fight for lvl 1's vs guards, but no one used lethal damage, just unarmed combat and running away.

Also, if I have 4 players between NPCs, they can all make their actions out of order, i'll put them in order and if someone needs to revise their action because one of the NPCs died I'll let them

Sounds cool. I'll use that then.

Congratulations on winning the goblin fight everyone! 😁🤗 Can't wait to see what happens next.

@Amberthegirlgeekgamer87

I plan to buy stuff from Mr. Buckey and get my necklace back.

is this gear pack cost ok? got it from player's handbook.

Burglar’s Pack (16 gp). Includes a backpack, a bag of 1,000 ball bearings, 10 feet of string, a bell, 5 candles, a crowbar, a hammer, 10 pitons, a hooded lantern, 2 flasks of oil, 5 days rations, a tinderbox, and a waterskin. The pack also has 50 feet of hempen rope strapped to the side of it.

I also plan to try to trade the hempen rope, tinderbox, waterskin, 5 days rations, and the hooded lantern for 50 ft silken rope.

@Eyes That's totally fine.

@Basil Ollie it's your turn next to post. We'll move on to the morning that you guys eat breakfast and go to town after that.

@Basil its your turn.

And no we're not looting the body, lol

Let me know when you guys are ready to move on. We'll stay patient for Ollie to post but I would love to continue.

Will have something today

Ok cool

I think we need to magically jump up to level 4 or 5. You seem to like throwing out enemies that can overwhelm or 1 shot kill us.

Ok sure. I'll need to time skip you guys where you are older then to adults. Y'all will just have to let me know how you guys would like to do that. Also sorry about that.

Would you guys like to have like 5 years pass where everyone is adults then and go to level 5? Let me know.

So would you guys like to end the prologue adventure and we do a 5 year time skip with everyone as adults at level 5 to start the next part of the game? If so you will need to tell me what you have done in the 5 years to train and level up to get to level 5. As well as what subclass you decided on at level 3 and more. Also would you all stay at Grandmother Sophie's house or would you leave her and would you all stick together?

If you guys want to jump 5 years, I’m okay with that. I think we could level up our character sheets and let Amber know what choices we make there.

But as far as deciding what we did during the five years goes, I would welcome Amber filling in the story based on the background we’ve developed together so far. She can explain how and why we stayed with Grandma Sophie, or went out into the world together, or went our separate ways. And if the latter, she can decide what brings us together again after 5 years and start us right in the plot that brings us together with a purpose.

That’s my opinion, but I am willing to do it anyway.

Yeah cuz the reason why Ollie and Woody originally came to Grandmother Sophie's cottage was to help her fight off the fears in her cellar which she was going to pay them for and Tink came to help out too. Flora just has been with Grandmother Sophie to help her out and she is learning how to do magic even though she has a warlock Patron now and will one day be the Guardian of the cottage and protector of the gateway between the feywild, spirit realm and the Mortal plane too.

Ollie and Woody only had 6 months at Grandmother Sophie's cottage to help her out anyway. Like Ollie is the son of the King of Thieves so he has responsibilities at home to still do with the thieves guild and same with Woody before they decide what life has on the horizon for them next.

But what would Tink do after that Summer ends though? Would he part ways with everyone and try to go after the Goblin king? Just curious.

Like if the characters split up, an event could happen where they one day reunite with each other. It's up to yall what you want to do though. It's your story. I'm just helping you create it too.

if you want to try an experiment if I can run this through chtgpt AI and see if it can create us a story. All I would need is for everyon to just give me a brief barebones run down of what you want your char has been doing for the last 5 years and i can have the AI tie it all together. See what happenes

Maybe for instance
year 1 .....
year 2 .....
etc...

Sure. We can see what ChatGPT comes up with. Who knows what it will come up with. But I guess my reasoning for saying Amber could fill in the time is so that she can weave everyone’s story together into some cohesive plot line that she has in mind that involves what will being going on with our story going ahead. I mean there’s no real point meandering around until level 20.

Thank you for considering my concerns. Okay. I don't really want to be leveled up. I genuinely care about my character's well-being, and facing six pirates and a leader with life drain poses significant challenges. It's likely that at least one of our characters would die if not experiencing a TPK.

With utmost respect, I suggest a more balanced encounter with pirates of bandit or thug level. My previous remark, though it was meant as sarcasm, was misunderstood in part due to the limitations of text communication.

Regarding our plans, instead of leveling up, I propose waiting for the pirates to leave, acquiring better weapons in town, and then proceeding with the mission we were hired for. I'm thoroughly enjoying this campaign, as it offers a unique and captivating concept. However, I believe that adjusting the monsters to match our current levels would enhance our overall chance for success and enjoyment.

I am going to have Captain Kidd and the Pirates leave in a day and go somewhere else. They had been in the coastal town for a week and they are about to leave. The crew was low level but Captain Kidd is a high level foe with a magical life drain ability.

But if you guys still want to do a 5 year time skip, let me know.

I’m fine with staying at this level and finishing the mission we have from Grandma Sophie. I was just saying that if we did skip ahead five years I would be okay with you as the DM telling us what happened during that time. But again, we do have a current vendetta against that cauldron and a job to clear the cellar that I happy to fulfill.

I'd rather not, but I'll go with the group.

Would you all want to finish the current mission with Grandmother Sophie then we do the 5 year time skip getting you guys to level 5? I can definitely do that if you want me to. After this mission, it'll be the end of the Children's adventure ending the prologue and the game will officially begin with everyone as adults.

I'd prefer to finish the mission

Me too

Alright, we will finish the mission then.

Flora, you only hear the sound of a woodpecker pecking against a tree which makes a loud thumping sound followed by a beaver slamming its tail at a tree it cut down and landed in the lake.

Oops…I think some of the story got accidentally in this OOC thread.

By the way…Tink wonders what Flora and Woody are up to when he leaves Grandma Sophie’s barn.

Yep

Oops accidentally posted that in here when it was supposed to be in the prologue, my bad lol. But Woody does see her go into the woods alone.

Sry been really busy, will post today

Just an FYI.... I don't write that well. I write the story, copy it and then I tell Chat GPT rewrite and make cohesive: (ctrl+v)

Ok that's fine.

Should have something this weekend. Ill. Be multiclassing. Fighter/swashbucker

playing with picture mods

Unnecessary post...

Awesome Basil. I'll stay patient. And cool Eyes

Staying patient for everyone to continue this. Have an awesome Fathers day everyone.

Thanks!!!

better than what my son said to me.... LOL

Lol.

Ha! Happy Fathers Day.

It looks awesome Seck, I love it and your Steel defender is pretty cool too.

Still tweeking charater sheet as well... I took the Ritual Caster Feat - It says you "start" with 2 Ritual Spells being 5th level now I assume it would be okay to get more.... let me know how many more... also being away for 5 years is can lead to a lot of down time. Thoughts on additional gold or new skills that may have been trained for, magic items created etc....

You can get 4 ritual spells, Woody . As for gold, you probably got some on whatever jobs you did for the thieves guild and stuff. So I'll leave that up to you and whatever treasure you found during the jobs you kept as payment too.

Hey, heads up, I'm in the process of moving this week. Move day is Friday. So I might be spotty on interactions between now and next Monday.

Good luck with the move!

That's fine. I'm going to be busy today through the 4th so let's do a small hiatus until after 4th of July and get back to everything on the 5th. Have an awesome move and 4th of July weekend too.

Thanks, y'all !!

Okay, this feels too much like I'm reading a book or playing a video game. There's no element of chance just a narrative.
For this reason, I'm out. It was a really cool concept and i enjoyed it till now. But, now I'm out because primarily I'm not into video games. Have a good one.

Ok I'm sorry about that. Thanks for playing then.

Do you guys still want to keep playing? We lost Woody and I'm sorry about that. I really tried my best to make this a fun game, but adding the Gnolls was the wrong thing to do and I apologize. We can try to ret-con this if you want me to and have you guys go after the Goblin King or I can end the game. It's up to yall. I really want to keep playing and give yall a chance to fight and rp and stuff tho. Let me know. @Seck @Basil

Thanks for giving it a go! I think I’m going to drop out as well

Ok, thanks for playing Basil. It was fun while it lasted. @Basil

Seck, if you are still playing, great, if not I'll probably just retire the game. @Seck

I'm sorry we didn't get to fight the Goblin king. It was in the plans, I just ruined everything when I brought in too many Gnolls to capture y'all and making y'all slaves was a mistake and I apologize for it. I won't make that mistake again. I'm slowly learning as a dm what works with players and what doesn't work for players. I know now not to use Gnolls in my games.

I think I’ll retire too. I’ve been pretty busy this summer and will continue to be into the fall. I decided to DM a game on GP and have been so busy that I’ve been leaving those players hanging a bit. So scaling my activity on GP down for now is probably smart. Thanks for playing this one everyone.

Ok awesome. Then retiring the game. Thanks for playing everyone and have a good rest of the summer
