OOC Group Game Discussion

Any discussion that applies to the game can take place here.

Can everyone go to the Character Creation thread and repost their backstory in their character's backstory subthread?

Ask me any questions about making your character here or in your own character creation thread.

Looking forward for some fun with everyone!!

Looking at the characters so far, I'm thinking as long as we all plan on being the 'good guys' as the campaign unfolds it's okay by me if anyone would rather their alignment be neutral.

Also everyone can start with their max HP for level 3.

Okay, no worries! I don’t really like playing bad guys anyway :P

Sweet. Everyone has a character sheet in.

I am going to take a look at your back stories and doctor them up to fit them specifically in the world. Feel free to add any thing before I get to that. It will probably be over the weekend. After I do that, I'll hope for some feedback from you guys. When everyone likes their backstory, we'll get started with your individual adventures. Hopefully we can get started with that next week.

I added some places to evereyone's backstory so we are all in the Mystara setting. Let me know if it sounds good.

This offers some insight into the lands of Mystara:

Hopefully tonight (but maybe tomorrow), I will open some threads for each of your solo adventures with an initial post.

Hi everyone. I have some fun places to start planned out for each of you. I just have to get the first posts together. The weekend and yesterday were busier than I hoped. I plan to get it together tonight and you will each find your first adventure post in your thread tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting started. Hope you will enjoy.

By the way, I changed the name of game thread from Character Creation to Backstory Adventures.

Sorry, I meant to drop all of your starting posts at the same time, but I only got Kyree's in right now. The other two will be coming tonight.

All good! Looking forward to it! :D

Nice! I'll work on a response later tonight and helpfully get it up by morning.
Apr 21, 2023 3:11 pm
Nice! Starting up with some rolls and action.

JamaisVu no worries about the roll label. I gotcha. I’ll respond later today.

Also RageRed I will get your starting post up later today too!

Got Tasya's starting post up. Starting in by asking for a perception check.

Just wanted to ask a few things as we go forward.

In your solo adventures I have been posting using the second person ‘you’ perspective. Everyone else has been using third person as opposed to first. Do you have a preference for my posts? Would you prefer me to use third person as well?

Also, if in my initial ‘setup’ post I wrote things that you don’t think your character would think or do, just let me know. I can edit those posts.

Lastly, hope you are enjoying this so far. Let me know if there’s anything I can do about the format or the way I’m presenting things that could make it more fun for you.

I’m having fun so fun. Thanks.

I’m having a ton of fun too! No preference either way regarding you using second or third person – I just prefer to use third in my own posts.
Apr 23, 2023 7:09 pm
Same. I am simply more comfortable posting in third person myself.

Hiya!

If anyone is looking to write more about their character's backstory, now that we have started in with your initial gameplay, I'll wait before posting much more. (SORRY to literally leave Tas hanging at the moment.) I have a good basic idea about how all your characters' stories/plots intertwine, but before having you character's interact much more with the world, I would like to incorporate any ideas you have for your characters and their acquaintances.

oopsylon, anything about Admiral's (former) crew you have ideas on is welcome and/or perhaps one of past Admirals adventures with them?

RageRed, similarly, you could develop some other of your circus troop members and/or describe a past adventure with the troupe.

JamaisVu, you could develop a little more about your birth barbarian tribe, that is a brutal seafaring people who dominate the Addakian Sound on the southern continent. And/or if you rather, you could talk about any survival adventures on the Jungle Coast after your were left there by your father and before you were found by your master.

You all could put anything like that in your backstory thread. Anyway none of this is mandatory. If you rather just have me to continue to flesh out that stuff, I'm willing and okay with that. Just let me know either way.

Working on it! Sorry, I've been pretty busy the last few days so I haven't had time yet. I'll probably have something up either tonight or tomorrow :)

I am trying to orient myself to the new situation. Khyree's background had her belonging to a desert nomad tribe. There was oasis, but not a jungle and they rode horses and camels. Think of her background as a twist on that of Luke Skywalker. Eventually, she and her master happened upon a beach and boarded a ship.

As a background, I never really thought in depth about the specific details. It was in the past.

JamaisVu, anyway you want to go with Khyree’s back story is fine by me. Actually I was originally thinking that her tribe was located in that desert area between the Akkadian Sound and the Jungle Coast. But then I thought it might be interesting if she had some seamanship background as a youth and put the idea out there that her barbarian tribe controlled the Akkadian Sound. But we certainly can go with her people being a desert nomad tribe. And don’t worry, your ship is coming! 😊 Although it won’t have to do with an oasis. Also, you don’t have to elaborate on Khyree’s past with her tribe if you don’t want.
