I need opinions from everyone on a few things.

1st. Not to be the Evil DM but Couth will be dead by the time the party exits the house. I am not wanting to carry his character though this campaign. I have a few ways it can happen. One Option is him sacrificing himself to the ritual. Allowing the party to have safe passage to leave. The 2nd is having Monster/boss focus him until dead. What is everyone's opinion on this?

2nd. I know this part of the campaign has been a slow drag due to it being a dungeon. Once free it will open back up again.
What is everyone's opinions on the campaign so far?

3rd. Should I find a 1-2 new players? I have a spot they could join in as soon as you are done with this house.


As soon as we are finished with the house everyone will level up! Everyone will be 3rd level. Start making plans on how to update your character.

1. You are sooo evil! >:( Everyone knows it. Don't deny it. It's true. You are the baddy.
I don't know what ritual you are talking about, but I don't mind Couth dying. It will prove to everyone that Eye of the Storm was right all along after all. =^x^=

2. It's a constant barrage of threats without respite. While it does give a sense of danger, a few short rests so we can spend HD would have been useful. Also it's very railroaded, but that's true for most dungeon crawls I guess.

3. Maybe. But I would like a plausible story why we'd accept these outsiders into our band. No 'he's been here all along' stuff please.

1. I have no idea what ritual you're talking about, but that seems evil af lol. I don't have an opinion on it, cause I'm not really sure what all are in store for us.

2. I really enjoyed the beginning, pretty much everything up until we entered the house. Actually, even after entering, it was fine for a while, but 20 pages of posts where we're essentially doing a dungeon crawl within a very short (in game) time frame, it leaves very little room for role-playing. It's been fairly mechanical: we go to a room, we check it out and clear it out if need be, then move on. It's that same basic thing repeated since page 4.

That said, it's PbP, if it was a live game, likely it would've been fine, and would've gone much faster, but in PbP it's been 3 months. I'm not sure what the rest of the campaign is like, but I don't have it in me to go through another dungeon crawl like that one. I can see one, maybe two floors, but hopefully nothing more like this. PbP is a different beast, and I'm still learning what works for me, and I'm assuming you are as well, so if it's going to be more open again, I'm along for the ride. At the very least, I'm committed to seeing the end of this cursed house.

3. I'm fine with adding players, or staying as is.

1. Also not sure about this ritual, but sure why not? He can go out a silent hero.

2. I enjoy the confrontations, but I am in agreement that PbP does make dungeon crawls difficult. I don’t mind someday getting into another dungeon-y situation, but the campfire and opportunities for RP were very fun with the group and I’d like to get more chances for our characters to connect on a level beyond "saving our own lives" all the time. Being as I’m still newish to PbP, it seems like the types of encounters that work best for the format are more socially-geared. This isn’t to say we lose chance on our abilities and other options, but combat can be difficult at this pace, especially when repeated combat is condensed in an ongoing area.

3. I am fine with adding another, so long as we can make a way of finding them make sense for the group. Or if we wanna just keep rolling as is, that’s fine too.

I opened recruitment to try and find 1-2 new players.


Looking at the campaign, there are another 2–3 possible dungeon crawls.
1 of them I can finagle to make it easier. The other 2 are not so much.
I will look into this more to see what I can figure out.

Besides that, the campaign will be pretty open and involve more roleplaying.

I invited 3 more to join.
Give me a little bit while I set stuff up and figure stuff out!

To the existing players: Hey! Looking forward to playing with you guys!

Do you guys have a prefered character sheet template?
May 15, 2024 1:51 pm
is there a preference as to how HP are done after 1st (average, roll, or players choice)?
May 15, 2024 4:46 pm
If you need a character sheet you may choose from one of these two.
[ +- ] D&D 5e
[ +- ] D&D 5e
HP is Max at 1st level. Average or roll after that. If you roll low you have to use it still.

Hey all, I've fallen a bit ill the past few days. I hope to be back soon.

@Khulod Feel Better! Do you care if I have Eye of the Storm Run this turn?

I am still actively here but had a horrendous situation unfold yesterday (can this year get any worse? I don’t think so at this point) so if I misunderstand a post or don’t communicate clearly, please let me know. My brain is a bit … muddled as I cope with reality. My husband lost a his best friend since high school; a man I had also become very close friends with. They were basically brothers and were living together when I met my partner. Life is exhausting.

1. Rituals sounds fun af, bring them on. Who doesn't love some Supernatural-esque fun?

2. I'm kinda along with what's been said about it. The campaign is fun and I've loved it. I'd say the only part that's been a bit frustrating has been since we entered the basement. I agree it's been a bit mechanical and it'd be fun to have an opportunity for a rest or some way to put some socializing back into it. It's hard to balance that in a PbP situation from what I've seen so I'm not bothered, but it would be fun to include more RP opportunitites.

3. Bring on the friends as you have obviously done already lol.

Hai, I'm excited to invite you in! Just so you know, Briar is a little thief, Ashtar is the goth kid, Eye is the "I can't believe I'm stuck with these idiots" one, and I'm the protective mother hen. At least that's how I see all of our characters lol.

I feel well enough to resume posting, but my illness isn't going to fade overnight I'm afraid. Since I am being referred to a specialist doctor and there's a waiting list my posting may be spotty for a while.

I am sorry to hear about your loss Redamancy. Best wishes to you and your husband.

Sorry guys
I will move everyone forward tomorrow.
Had contractor come to the house today.
Never gave us a heads up on when they would be over.
Had to clean and rearrange furniture.
Getting all my windows, front and backdoor, interior doors , and some drywall repaired.
Got a $20k grant from the city to do it all.
Jun 8, 2024 4:13 am
That's epic repairs! I wish our city gave grants for that... It's all good, make your home a safer, better environment. <3

The best way would be to set them up as Avatars in your character sheet (I'm not actually sure how you do it, I just know that's how it's done).

https://i.imgur.com/SLCHHAp.png Another way would be to use float-left, but this is a wonky workaround. To see the code, just quote-reply this post.
