Good Day everyone!

Thank you for joining my campaign.
Few important starting notes.

Everyone in the party knows each other already. You have worked and traveled with each other for a while.
Your character might still have secrets that they keep from each other still.

Please take a look at Information
It has all of the homebrew rules and other important information.

Please post a new thread with your name and your Character name in https://gamersplane.com/forums/10780/.
This thread will be yours to post character information. The first post will be your Character sheet. We can edit stuff as we go.

I believe most of you are Veteran players but a few of you are new to Gamersplane.
If you need help with character creation please let me know.

If you need a character sheet you may choose from one of these two.

Hey hey, so excited about this. Can you tell us a bit more about the campaign? Mainly, what kind of horror game is it? Or if that's too difficult to describe, what are some movies/games/etc. that are similar in feel? I have a few character ideas, and knowing the horror type would be very helpful.

Also, both of those character sheets look the same to me...?

I plan on making it a mix of Gothic Horror, Slasher Horror, Eldritch Horror and such. Think Van Helsing mixed Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. Lovecraft style monstrosities.

Both Character sheets might be the same I took them from the Public Repository of Custom Games Sheets.


Don't think about a character to put in a horror setting. Think of a character who was in a fantasy setting and now has to deal with horror.

Hello hello, glad to be here. I was thinking either Arcane Trickster or SoulKnife would be pretty fun to play, especially as a Changeling.
Jan 1, 2024 2:33 am
What a way to start the new year!

Can you still change the game name though? It's spelled "Bargains" and we're going to have to look at it for a few years to come! :D

I have not thought of a concept just yet, step 1 was getting in the game and there was a lot of interests so I didn't want to get my hopes up. Off to bed now, tomorrow is a new day in a new year for a new character!

I would prefer Arcana Trickster over Soulknife. I am not a huge fan of psychic characters.
Jan 1, 2024 3:06 am
Thank you, Khulod, for telling me.
Which brings up another few points.
I will try my best with spelling and grammar.
I am not perfect. I will try to use QuillBot at times to check my work.

I also plan on using an AI bot at times to help come up with a more vivid description than I am capable of.
AI can be a little bit wordy, but it does better than me.
I will type a description of what everyone sees, then in Out of Character explain without as much detail.
I also have a tendency to capitalize words that I deem important.

If you are confused about something or something does not make sense, ask, and I will try to clarify.
Jan 1, 2024 4:07 am
Let's roll!!!

EDIT: oops, looks like it's: 14, 10, 12, 14, 10, 15

Not the best numbers, but better than 27 point buy I think, so I'll take it I guess

I like to play a gish, so I'll probably do something like a warlock, but honestly, I dunno. Might also depend on what else the rest of the party plays.

Time to kiss Lady Luck. Okay Stats. Nothing to write home about. Stats: 15, 14, 14, 11, 11, 10. I want to steal Alexeij's 18.

I see what you mean there @grifter730. Sometimes rather important to choosing a character. Hmm. Level 1 or Level 3? Should ask as it is going to come up. GM. How are you doing HP generation?

Indeed, I want to steal that 18 from last night's build too, lol. Arcane Trickster is fun, especially if we start at level 3. 20 Char Lore Bard (depending on which version of Changeling is used) with a penchant for Mage Hand is also very sexy and not that different, roleplay wise.
Jan 1, 2024 12:10 pm
We are going to start at level 1. You guys will get to level 3 fairly quickly, though.

Well, if we're on the topic, I do want to warn you that ChatGPT throws out some of the most soulless text imaginable. There is absolutely no feeling behind it, just a formula generating the same structure over and over. It's quite recognizable when you've seen it a few times. It's so quirky and fake that I rather see someone try their best in flawed English (not my first language either) rather than copy-paste ChatGPT. I've seen a professor describe it as 'textbook example English' which I think is very much on the money. It's academic English, not literature English.

Anyhow, on to throwing some dice!

Edit: aaaaand I'll take the point buy, thank you very much.

Edit 2: Could someone quickly help me with these abbreviations?

It says ERLW Marks, as in the Marked Houses which count as races. Though if it's the entire book now no problemo, I'll adapt and probably dip into Warlock for Mask of Many Faces (if multiclassing is allowed)
Jan 1, 2024 4:24 pm
Just the Marks. The other ERLW races are not bad. The Marks just give those races a pretty big buff that others don't get.

Multiclassing is allowed. Go Crazy with.

@GeneCortess I tend to like the custom one better. You can customize it a lot more to make it easier to read and find stuff.

Thrown Weapon Fighting: You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon.
In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.

That is from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Is that fine for a Fighting Style?

Yeah, that Fighting Style is ok.

Oh goodness I am so excited for this. Been far too long since I’ve been able to dabble with rp in a darker setting and I cannot wait. Was doing family stuff all weekend and just now got to my keyboard. I will be diving deep into catching up on threads and starting a character build tomorrow after work! I have a small list of characters-I’d-like-to-play in my head so I will probably tweak one of those for this setting. Potentially a monk (unknown race) but also maybe a Dragonborn Bard that I’ve had sitting on my mental shelf for about a year now. Tomorrow when I take a peek at what other people are adding to the mix I will work on settling my decision.

AI Art has definitely been a boon to TTRPGs. Love the tabaxi! It was on my list of potential races for my rogue … if DM allows, I’m gonna go fairy rogue. Tiny spy!

Give me a bit. I had a day today at work. Not ignoring anyone, just trying to bring myself to focus on this...


So far, we have a Changling Bard, Human Fighter., Warlock, Tabaxi Ranger, and Fairy Rogue.


The last player I invited has not accepted yet. I will say that if they don't by the end of the week, I will pick someone else.
Jan 2, 2024 11:44 pm
If by the end we're lacking some crucial role, like a healer of some kind or a casting-oriented full-caster, I can probably adapt and change class. Between a Warlock and the super sneaky fairy, a Bard could be redundant
Jan 3, 2024 1:02 am
Bards can be pretty good healers and support casters, too.
It just depends on spells and subclasses.

@grifter730,@Khulod,@GeneCortess,@Redamancy,@Kilikina

I believe I have character sheets and backgrounds for all but one of you.
I need to do a little bit of double-checking on the sheets and some organizing on my part.

Imporant Information.

I am using your character's background to shape and add things to this campaign.
I am doing this with everyone's character.
Some of your character's background may come up sooner, may be useful more often, or may have a bigger impact on the campaign.
This is not a show of favoritism, but just the way I could put stuff together to make it work.

This campaign will be a mix of roleplay and combat. Combat can be hard.
If all players say that they wish to flee, it will happen (unless it is not possible).
This can be a heavier role-playing campaign, but with poor choices, combat can arise.

We will do group-based combat. We will roll initiate. I will roll the average for both sides, and the highest average will go first.
Unless stated by the player, I will make attacks go to the target I think would benefit the group the most.
[ +- ] Example
If a player does not take their turn within 24 hours of being mentioned for their turn, their character will dodge.

I am a very RAW DM I do so to keep everything consistent. I believe it is a flaw of mine, but I don't know how to break it.
But sometimes, to fix RAW rules, I give players homebrew items or perks. Again, this will not be a show of favoritism, just how it makes sense in the game.
I am not a huge fan of High AC characters; while you will find magical items, weapons, and armor, +1-3 armor or shields will not be found.


Our current party makeup looks like this.
https://i.imgur.com/WMf8RyF.png
Is everyone fine with just five players, or do you wish for me to invite another?

Add a New Player

Yes
No.



Once the game starts, I am looking for players to try and post at least once a day. As long as we have 2–3 players active, I will keep the story moving. Unless told otherwise, your character will always be following along with the party if you have not posted for a few days.
I am not active 24/7, and I do not expect each of you to be. I live in CST and can usually post after 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. On weekends, I am able to check a lot more frequently, unless I have plans. I am able to check for updates on my phone, but those posts will be shorter and more to the point than what I am able to do on the computer.

As soon as I get the last player's character sheets and background finished, we can start. Hopefully sometime next week (Monday?)
Does anyone have any questions, problems, or concerns?

Ready to Play?

So I’m pretty sure Briar will be the first to start some dangerous shit for the group because she has no self control. I’m sorry in advance. She’ll also probably be the first to die and it will totally be her fault.

So much fun playing up a priestly guy considering he isn't a cleric.
Jan 15, 2024 1:28 am
Do you guys prefer that I post as soon as someone else does or wait until a few of you post?
If I am not busy, I can do it either way.
Jan 15, 2024 6:05 am
They both have merits. I think a balance is nice. If one of us is doing something on our own (like if Briar was shopping and no one had followed her), posting as soon as that character engages seems fine. When we’re all around the bonfire and it’s a group discussion, I think it’s nice to let a couple people get their character’s thoughts in before the narrator moves things onward.
Jan 15, 2024 9:10 am
I’m fine either way. I do agree that if a character is on their own, it’s definitely fine to post asap.
Jan 16, 2024 10:07 pm

I wish to make sure that your character's emotions are not yours as a player.
Are you upset or frustrated in any way, shape, or form?

This part, until you meet Madam Eva, should be the only railroading spot.
Once we pass that point, the campaign will open up and become more sandboxed.
We just need to get to Madam Eva :)
Jan 19, 2024 3:17 am
I'm fine with being railroaded honestly. PbP doesn't really lend itself too well to sandboxes in my experience.
Jan 19, 2024 3:42 am
I kind of agree. I don’t feel like an idiot for not knowing what to do next when the DM tells me where to go. :D
Jan 19, 2024 3:45 am
I didn't expect anything till we arrived.
Jan 19, 2024 3:47 am
You want me to Fast Forward until a few important parts or let everyone roleplay a little about this fog.

That is sort of what this time until Eva will be.
You travel for a bit, and I describe a scene of what you see.
You guys roleplay your reactions or if you want to do anything.

Repeat at least 3–4 times. Then Eva
Jan 19, 2024 3:58 am
If you're putting it to a vote, I'd vote to just get there. PbP takes long enough as it is with one post a day. If we're roleplaying each scene, that's 4 days spent basically just traveling and sightseeing.
Jan 19, 2024 9:43 pm
Is the old man traveling in the same wagon as us? I'm really not sure how to react here. Me as a player wants to just get us to our destination, but surely the character would be concerned.
Jan 19, 2024 10:39 pm
I think there’s value in giving the characters a chance to suss out things that may be pertinent to their understanding of their situation … but I also agree that PbP can be slow moving and I wouldn’t want to get too hung up on travel sequences that are purely space filler. While a realtime game benefits from those moments for character and party development, I feel like in PbP it can postpone the plot progress, puzzles, and general party shenanigans.
Jan 19, 2024 10:41 pm
Yes Stanimir is currently at the helm of your wagon.

If I were to rush to Madam Eva, there are a handful of things the party might miss.
Like in this scene here. I do not know what your character would do.
Would you just hunker up and stay in Wagon?
Would you jump out, try, and find your way?
Would you attack the travelers and steal the wagons?

I don't want to just handwave things and assume what your character would do.
There will be some different situations your character's have never seen or dealt with before.


Now I am all for speeding things up. But I feel like if we do, stuff might be missed.
Is anyone able to post more often to get through this faster?

Okay, I just edited Ashtar’s last post to add a bit at the end, asking Stanimir what the fog is about.

I can certainly post a lot more, though weekends are often tough.

I'm so sorry I've been gone a few days! I've had no ability to play and no power and I'm back now and imma catch up and get with it again! :)

And I'm fine with going slow or rushing ahead. I see the pros and cons of both.

@grifter730,@Kilikina
(sarcasm)
One of you two needs to change your name into something that starts with the letter D

Right now we have
Alyria/Ashtar
Briar
Couth
???
Eye of the Storm
Jan 23, 2024 1:54 am
Dalyria sounds more like a real name than Dashtar, so I vote for that lol
Jan 23, 2024 2:01 am
Faster. Faster. Way too many wolves to fight.

I gotchu, I'm now D-Alyria, but I'll just use Alyria for short lmao
Jan 26, 2024 3:26 pm
So I know the party is supposed to have already known each other before we started the campaign, but how well do we know each other? Like do I know the info I'm reading about Ashtar's lover? I was going to make a comment about it but I wasn't sure if it was information I had just because I as the player know it.
Jan 26, 2024 3:50 pm
That is kind of up to you each individually. If Ashtar wants the party to know about his pass life how much he told everyone is up to him.
Do we need a post for everyone to share what everyone else knows about their character?

I’m not exactly against this idea, just for the sake of everyone having a base ground to start the rp from.

I'll post mine after I've had my nap I so desperately need.

Also, just so you know @Redamancy, I plan completely to make Briar my bestest friend in the world. Your character gives me all the endorphins every time I read her posts, I'm so in love lol
Jan 28, 2024 10:59 pm
@Kilikina you won't have to try very hard; Briar is ABSOLUTELY down for a pretty paladin bff. I am having a blast with this character and I am so glad you enjoy her!
Jan 30, 2024 1:32 am
Had a day today. Car broke down, lack of sleep, headache all day.
I will move us tomorrow
Jan 30, 2024 6:23 am
Wow. How moving your story is.
Jan 30, 2024 4:59 pm
@Smiley I hope today is kinder to you. No rush. <3
Feb 1, 2024 1:30 am
I completely understand @Smiley. I too hope your day is better tomorrow, we'll be here when you have things settled.
Feb 2, 2024 7:53 am
Are we supposed to understand anything of what she’s talking about? I mean, the blade is pretty obvious, but I have no clue what to make of any of the other stuff.

Are we supposed to be asking about the cards, or about the stuff she told is before the cards?
Feb 2, 2024 1:45 pm
The cards are something you will understand overtime.
They are like a scavenger hunt for OP items that will help you.

I know it is strange and confusing both in and out of character. It should be.

Ask about anything.
Feb 2, 2024 8:49 pm
Going to read that passage a few times and process (taking notes) before responding. Loving the vibe, though. Fantastic storytelling @Smiley!
Feb 2, 2024 8:55 pm
OP items are music to my ears lol.

I wanna second this. I'm grateful I got into this game. I think you're doing a fantastic job with the mood/atmosphere, and customizing things to individual characters (based off of what I'm seeing from the Madam's posts). Really digging this.
Feb 4, 2024 12:34 am
Had one hell of a week here; sorry for going quiet. Daughter broke her wrist (again), it was parent information night at the middle school she’ll be attending next year, and my mom needed support with some legal battle she’s entrenched in dealing with her parents’ trust and estate. All while doing the usual full workweek. I’m catching up this weekend, I swear!
Feb 4, 2024 3:12 pm
@Khulod,@Kilikina I haven't heard from either of you for a bit. Please try to post your response and question by the end of the day.
Feb 5, 2024 1:40 pm
Sorry, I hadn't planned to be away all weekend! I'll respond now before my student arrives!
Feb 6, 2024 5:58 am
oh wow, sweet, level 2 and without a fight! Yay!

More leveling is happy leveling. :) Couth went for level 2 fighter. Was fast and easy to update.
Feb 6, 2024 8:08 pm
I was at 3/10 HP. Now that we level up, and Ashtar is at 15 HP, is he at 8/15 or 15/15?

Aside from that, I think I'm done, and I'm gonna mark it as such.
Feb 6, 2024 8:48 pm
@grifter730 You will be getting a Long Rest. So full health.
Feb 6, 2024 8:56 pm
I am going to start a new thread when home.
Archiving the old one.
Feb 7, 2024 12:09 am
@Khulod Do want to ask Madam Eva a question still?
Feb 7, 2024 12:36 am
Ah, yes! I thought we had moved past that and missed my chance. Not that I don't already know the gist of the answer, but I got to RP my curmudgeon cat-man.

@Khulod If you want to ask, you still can. We just Recon it a little. We can do it right here, just so you get the chance.
Her answer will depend on your question.
Feb 7, 2024 1:00 am
OOC:
Yes, since the thread is locked.
Night fell, but Eye of the Storm saw light coming from the tent where the old hag had laid out the fortunes of what was to come. He was indecisive for a while, but then rose and stalked back to the tent. but of course Madam Eva was expecting him as he stepped inside. Their eyes met, and he wavered before he found his heart and finally gave voice to his question.
"Will you tell me this? Who of us will leave your land alive?
Feb 7, 2024 1:17 am
MadamEva

Madam Eva cough's out a small chuckle. "That is two questions. I will answer the later. Your choices, not fate, are what will seal your destiny. Now go rest. You will need it."
Feb 8, 2024 11:15 pm
Would everyone prefer that I private-tag when it is a secret for 1 or 2 players or put it as a spoiler?
If it is a spoiler, everyone who is not Tagged in it would need to realize that what is in the spoiler is OoC knowledge until it isn't,



I added character sheets all of you can see. They are DnD 5e, DnD5e SRD Equipment & DnD5e SRD Spells. The Spell one is something I created. I might need some tweaks. I ask that if you cast a spell, you add the spell information to it.
Feb 11, 2024 8:04 pm
Private-tag is best. I like secrets.

As for the current situation, I asked ChatGPT what Rick Sanchez would think about it. Because of reasons.

Oh, jeez, Morty, would you look at these guys? Just look at 'em, standing there on the road like a bunch of clueless dummies. Do they not have an ounce of survival instinct? I mean, come on! It's like they've never even heard of the Nazgul!

Listen up, you adventurers! You see that rider in the distance? Yeah, the one cloaked in darkness and radiating bad vibes? That's not just some friendly neighborhood traveler delivering mail people. That's a Nazgul! You know, those creepy ringwraiths from that Tolkien guy's fanfiction.

You'd think with all the fantasy realms and epic quests these guys supposedly go on, they'd have the common sense to get off the road when they see a freaking Nazgul approaching! But nooooo, they're just gonna stand there like sitting ducks, waiting to get skewered by a Morgul blade.

I mean, seriously, Morty, what's wrong with these people? Are they trying to get themselves killed or something? It's like they're actively seeking out danger just to spice up their little adventure. Well, guess what? Danger's not some fun little game, Morty. It's real, and it's coming for you whether you're ready or not.

But hey, who am I to tell them how to live their lives, right? I'm just a genius scientist with a flask full of science juice and a portal gun. What do I care if a bunch of wannabe heroes wanna play chicken with the forces of darkness?

But mark my words, Morty, when that Nazgul comes swooping down on them like a bat out of Middle-earth, they're gonna wish they had listened to ol' Rick. And then they'll probably end up begging me to save their sorry butts. But you know what? I'll just sit back and watch the show, because sometimes, Morty, you've gotta let natural selection do its thing.
Feb 14, 2024 1:53 am
I got to say that Rick and Morty thing is spot on.

Now I want to find a stat block for a Nazgul.
Feb 17, 2024 1:35 am
Ouchie. That's gotta hurt. Would have wiped Couth out. Someone has a big fly swatter.

I think that was the first "Combat" of the game.
and I left the Fairy with 3hp before they ran away...

Perfect...

I don't think the party is up for more exploring. Just my thoughts.

Feb 17, 2024 2:04 am
Seems like this party is made up of very cautious adventurers with the exception Ashtar, and probably Alyria.
Feb 18, 2024 8:38 pm
It looks like Couth left the game.
His character will follow along as an NP for right now.

Should I try to find a few more players now?
Feb 18, 2024 8:43 pm
We have 4 right? I'm fine with 4. So we've got Alyria's paladin, my hexblade warlock, what's Briar and Eye of the Storm again?
Feb 18, 2024 8:44 pm
Briar is a Rogue.
Eye of the Storm is a Ranger
Feb 18, 2024 8:47 pm
Cool cool. I'm good with 4, we'll just have to make do. I'm not against more players though, if everyone else wants more. I just find that having more than 3-4 often slows pbp games down.
Feb 19, 2024 3:37 am
Not against picking up another if someone wants to join, but I think we can also move ahead well enough. As long as no more suits of armor come out of the shadows.
Feb 19, 2024 3:56 am
Aww you’ll be alright. Either that, or we TPK 😂 more players just means even more monsters to balance things out.
Feb 21, 2024 6:20 pm
Shoot, I forgot about chat being a thing >.< Let me catch up:
- Secret stuff kept secret, I agree.
- Rick and Morty post was hilarious! Never seen the show, but I've heard enough references to see that's pretty spot on.
- Sad Gene left. Played a few games with him before and I'm surprised he did, he's never done that in my experience.
- I'm down to keep going, but I'm fine if we pick up a fifth too. I've been trying to convince a friend to try pbp so if we ever do need a fifth, let me know so I can bug him again about it lol.

Quick service announcement.

Up to now, we have not had combat. That will change once we enter the basement.
A few reminders.
Initiative is rolled out as a group. Whichever group has the highest (average) initiative goes first. Then the next group goes.
You each have a Magic Card that allows advantage once a day.
You have a few Spell Scrolls and healing potions.
Each failed Death Savings throw gives you a level of exhaustion. It takes 6 death saving throws to fully die.
I will be playing a Couth during combat.
Eye of the Storm you have Darkcloud with you.
Mar 14, 2024 11:15 pm
I'm rrrrrrrrrrrrrready to rumble!!!
Mar 15, 2024 1:05 am
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I hope I don’t die
Mar 15, 2024 5:30 am
I'm so excited for combat and what's going on, but my character isn't happy with the 180 in her personality... just so you know Smiley lol

Now that we have had a few combats, anyone have any questions or concerns?

Please note that I am not upset, frustrated, or anything at the players whose turns I had to skip. I know life can be busy. I am not trying to punish you for skipping your turn. I'm just trying to keep the game moving.


I am debating on having you guys roll Death Saves but keeping the results hidden from the other players. That way, the other players will not know how dire your situation is. Opinions?

I'm good with that.

My main concern is that at times I feel like it's just 1 or 2 players playing. The game only asks for like 5 posts a week, but it doesn't feel like we're even hitting that. I find I'm having to re-immerse myself often.

We do this in my realtime games and as someone who was 2/2 fails/saves in my Sunday game, let me tell you. The anxiety EVERYONE feels is real. And fun. I’m in favor.

I feel like there is an ebb and flow to posting frequency. But I’m not sure if it’s limited to this game. I am in a handful of others and find that there are days where I will have nothing new to read from any of them; I’m not sure what the solution there is.

Perhaps a dedicated chat on Discord or something similar might help? I know I’ve had a few days that were hectic and I just couldn’t get to the forums at all, but dropping a line in the Discord just to say "hey, today beat the crap out of me, I’ll be there tomorrow" would’ve been pretty simple.

Or it might help for OOC planning as we keep moving forward. Sometimes I get stuck on what to post because I’m not sure what everyone else is thinking behind their screens or because I feel like I need a little clarification on something minor yet potentially pivotal.

I’m not sure if it’s the solution for everyone, but it might help us feel a little less disconnected even when there are full-fledged post lulls? I just know that my realtime games each have a dedicated place to chat and it helps us stay connected to the story even though we only play every other week.

@grifter730,@Khulod,@Redamancy,@Kilikina

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.
May 9, 2024 11:15 pm
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.
May 10, 2024 1:59 am
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.
May 10, 2024 3:50 am
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.
May 10, 2024 1:36 pm
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.
May 10, 2024 2:13 pm
I invited 3 more to join.
Give me a little bit while I set stuff up and figure stuff out!
May 11, 2024 9:33 pm
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.
May 27, 2024 5:05 pm
Hey all, I've fallen a bit ill the past few days. I hope to be back soon.

Jun 1, 2024 10:42 pm
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.

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.

Horror & Madness & Massive Damage.
Horror involves more than simple fright. It entails revulsion and anguish. Often it arises when adventurer see something completely contrary to the common understanding of what can and should occur in the world, or upon the realization of a dreadful truth.
In such a situation, you can call on characters to make a saving throw to resist the horror. Set the DC based on the magnitude of the horrific circumstances. On a failed save, a character gains a Level of Madness.

When a creature takes damage from a single source equal to or greater than half its hit point maximum, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a character gains a Level of Madness. For example, a creature that has a hit point maximum of 30 must make that Constitution save if it takes 15 damage or more from a single source.

A creature's madness level starts at 0. When the creature fails a madness saving throw, its madness level increases by 1, and the creature immediately suffers the level's effect (as determined by rolling on the Short-Term Madness, Long-Term Madness, or Indefinite Madness table in the Dungeon Master's Guide, as appropriate). When the effect ends, the creature's madness level doesn't change. Any time the creature's madness level increases, it suffers the effect of the new level.

If a creature with level 4 madness fails a madness saving throw, its madness level becomes 0. In this way, characters can potentially accumulate multiple forms of madness.

Madness Levels
Level Effect
1 Bout of short-term madness (Last until end of next turn)
2 Bout of medium-term madness (lasts 1d10 minutes)
3 Bout of long-term madness (lasts 1d10 × 10 hours)
4 Bout of indefinite madness (lasts until cured)
[ +- ] Short-Term Madness
[ +- ] Medium-Term Madness
[ +- ] Long-Term Madness
[ +- ] Indefinite Madness
@Kilikina Above explains Madness.

Right now you are at level 1. If you fail a madness check or Take a lot of damage you Madness Level will increase by 1.
Giving you Level2 and A Medium- Term Madness. For Short, medium or Long Term the effects go away. If you get to Level you receive a Permanent Madness and then your Madness level becomes 0 again.

You currently have 1 level of Exhaustion. 1 Level of Exhaustion is lost when ever you take a Long Rest. There are other spells and magic items that can be cast to cure them also.

Some special abilities and environmental hazards, such as starvation and the long-­term effects of freezing or scorching temperatures, can lead to a special condition called exhaustion. Exhaustion is measured in six levels. An effect can give a creature one or more levels of exhaustion, as specified in the effect’s description.
Exhaustion Effects
Level Effect
1 Disadvantage on ability checks
2 Speed halved
3 Disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws
4 Hit point maximum halved
5 Speed reduced to 0
6 Death

If an already exhausted creature suffers another effect that causes exhaustion, its current level of exhaustion increases by the amount specified in the effect’s description.
A creature suffers the effect of its current level of exhaustion as well as all lower levels. For example, a creature suffering level 2 exhaustion has its speed halved and has disadvantage on ability checks.
An effect that removes exhaustion reduces its level as specified in the effect’s description, with all exhaustion effects ending if a creature’s exhaustion level is reduced below 1.
Finishing a long rest reduces a creature’s exhaustion level by 1, provided that the creature has also ingested some food and drink.[/spoiler]

The past two weeks were an absolute cluster... I had double shifts with no cellphone signal, my "other mom" had multiple strokes and hospitalizations, pet euthenasia, almost had to shoot someone at 5am last Sunday, my mom's birthday, and a highschool graduation.

I'm hoping this week goes back to normal. I'm burned out on excitement.

@MaJunior Ignore the exhaustion. It was used for narrative. I was not sure how long it would take for parties to meet.

Ahhhhhh jeez. I have been so indecisive on deciding archetype. I will pin it down before my next post.

Jun 18, 2024 9:55 pm
Are you sure? I don't mind being at a disadvantage for a bit. We can say Jorah realized when you're being herded the last place you want to go is wherever they're herding you and he really, really tried to push through the fog.

It's entirely up to you, but I'm honestly good either way.

I did my best to summarize as Briar in the main thread.
Jun 19, 2024 8:52 pm
Hey all. Sorry for my absence. My sickness has really put me down a notch unfortunately. Next week I am finally seeing the specialist who can hopefully give me an aid that will alleviate most of the symptoms. Please do not hold up anything for me. I hope to be back in action soon after.
Jun 19, 2024 9:32 pm
Dang, man, you have been struggling with that for a while. I hope everything gets figured out for you soon.
Take your time and recover.
Jun 21, 2024 4:16 pm
So, just a heads up. I likely won't be able to post until Sunday. My son gets married tomorrow and today I'm booked up with assisting with preparations at the reception hall...and well, tomorrow I'll be busy with the wedding itself...and there will likely be some beveraging afterward so it may not be until later on Sunday.
Jun 22, 2024 2:27 am
I’m sorry I haven’t been as attentive as I try to be. My living situation has been on the verge of upending itself, things aren’t going great with my mom and I who I help take care of, and we just found out my dad has to have a medical procedure. I’ll be around more very soon, I promise!
Jun 23, 2024 10:52 pm
Hey all, sorry I've been out of it for the past week or so. That mansion run kinda just took the wind out of the game for me, and it feels a bit hard for me to get back into it, so I'd rather not force it. There's enough players now to make a good run of it without me anyway, so best of luck to y'all.
Jun 24, 2024 2:00 pm
Were there results provided for the requested perception check on June 20th? Jerinvar had rolled a 21.

Also, wedding weekend is now over and my son is a hitched man now. I'm 3 hours into a 24 hour shift at work. I'll hopefully be able to post tonight after my client goes to bed.
Jun 25, 2024 6:32 pm
So if we want to help this guy out i have a couple of non-confrontational ways we might be able to. Im a bit worried about the direct approach dealing with powerful vampires at this level...

I see two possibilities, and we might be able to combine them in an overall plan.

1. Why is Strahd infatuated with the sister? If we can remove the source of infatuation then maybe he will leave her alone.
2. This concubine is working against her best interests. If Strahd get the sister, she will lose out on Strahds attentions. New girl, more competition for his affections. We might find a way to work with that.
Jun 26, 2024 12:07 am
Def can't go after Strahd at this point. Perhaps we can see if we can get the burial done so he can get his sister out of here until we can bolster ourselves enough to deal with the larger threats. In the meantime, keep picking away at the smaller threats and help out in the little ways we can.

It's worth trying to see if there is a reason for the infatuation, I agree. I don't think the concubine cares about her own interests. She's operating under orders, I would imagine. Or maybe she wants a sister wife because it's lonely as a vampire's trophy.
Jun 26, 2024 12:33 am
Yup just trying to ascertain underlying motivations and drivers for major players. Once we know that we can begin to make plans.
Jul 2, 2024 12:55 am
Will be posting tomorrow...another busy weekend (Canada Day weekend).
Jul 11, 2024 9:55 pm
Helllooo!

Since I am a Pact of the Chain Warlock, I have a few questions on how you plan to run them. Just wanted to knock out a few questions or gray area out before they actually come into play.

1. With the Warlock Invocation Voice of the Chain Master. Will you require the warlock to burn an action to use their familiars’ senses? If so, would you require a used action every turn or just on the first turn you activate.

2. Can familiars Attune magic items? If so, what happens to magic items they have attuned to them if they "Die". Do the items drop or do they disappear alongside the familiar to reappear when they are resummoned.
Jul 11, 2024 10:50 pm
With the Warlock Invocation Voice of the Chain Master. Will you require the warlock to burn an action to use their familiars’ senses? If so, would you require a used action every turn or just on the first turn you activate.
You have 2 options. There are Pros and Cons to each.

1) Yes, the warlock would still need to use its action every time to look through the Familiar's Senses. The warlock would still be deaf and blind with regard to your own senses while using it.

2) The Warlock must use its action to look through the familiar's Senses and an Action to Turn it off. Dismissing the Familiar and casting touch based spell through the Familiar can only happen if the Familiar is within 1 Mile from the Warlock. (Distance will increase as they level)

Can familiars Attune magic items? If so, what happens to magic items they have attuned to them if they "Die". Do the items drop or do they disappear alongside the familiar to reappear when they are resummoned.
-The Warlock and the Familiar shares 3 attunement slots. If the Familiar dies while holding or attuned to an item it drops where they drop.
Jul 11, 2024 11:26 pm
So Im reading the find familiar description and I don’t see anything about using an action to turn off senses, only to turn them on.

I also don’t see anything that mentions range limitations for dismissal or range increases with level.

As far as attunement, when you say "Share" do you mean between the two there would be 3 slots total and not 3 each.

Just wanted to confirm and understand your rationale. For a character (Warlock Chainmaster) who’s primary strength focus is the use of a familiar feeling a bit nerfed especially since familiars don't scale.
[ +- ] Find Familiar
Jul 12, 2024 12:25 am
The rules might not be in the Find Familiar Disciption, but I am giving you either Homebrew or researched rulings others have used.

1) is Closer to RAW. Every turn, you have to use your action to see through your familiar. You turn it off as a free action.
You would not be able to use your action for anything else.

2) Allows you to use Action 1 once to See through the eyes of your familiar as long as you want but has range limits but you have to use an action to turn it off. (I am ok with this costing a Bonus Action instead)
The range Limits are so you can't just sit in one spot and do everything through you're familiar. It would allow you to see through your familiar's eyes and use your action to do other things with in range. It would also allow your familiar to fly and tell you what it sees telepathically anywhere, but if it gets into trouble, you can't poof it away.


You and your Familiar will have 3 Attunement slots to share in total.


These limitations are not to Nerf you at all. They are more for balancing issues. I have played a lot of games and have seen players do very OP and cheesey things using Familiars. I am trying to make it somewhat fair and balanced so the others have a chance to shine and use their abilities as well.
Jul 12, 2024 12:52 am
Since I do plan on getting voice of the chain master that increases range to unlimited for senses I would be more comfortable with option 1
Jul 12, 2024 1:16 am
Sounds good to me!

Jul 18, 2024 2:18 pm
Thoughts anyone?

Anyone else in the party "Evil" Im thinking I’m the odd one out here and was trying to figure out a strategy to play evil, but not evil... if that makes any sense to you. I’ve come up with a brief on Dr. Crows thought process and Tiers of Evil.

I imagine, especially at the higher Tiers of Evil, Dr. Crow is likely to make the other PC's pretty uncomfortable. I want to avoid Inter-party conflict while still role playing my character. That being said its not lost on him that that not everyone is going to be onboard, even if it’s for he greater "Good" Dr. Crow will keep his work private for the most part, only sharing carefully sanitized and censored versions of what he does. What you see: Yup those sweet little orphans are cured and are now immune to the plague! What you don’t see: It only took the painful deaths of a thousand others to find the cure.

Dr. Crow is convinced to the point of obsession that mortality is the root of all suffering. He is also convinced that with enough knowledge, mortality and its associated afflictions can be eradicated, ultimately freeing humanity from the perpetual cycle of pain and death.

Dr. Crow's obsession, however, has twisted his sense of morality, and in his pursuit to ease mortal suffering, he has begun to engage in unethical experiments and makes ruthless decisions, believing that the end justifies the means.


Lawful Evil:

T1 – Will perform experiments and research on sentients with their consent. He will provide reasonable incentives to obtain consent. The experimentation could potentially be harmful to the subject.
T2 – Will use coercion and threats to obtain consent. Will use torture to obtain consent on those he deems unredeemable dregs of society.
T3 – Will experiment on minors and use coercion and threats to obtain consent
T4 – Will create mechanisms and leverage existing systems to create an endless supply of test subjects. Will test without direct consent. Examples include situations where a subject has been deprived of their rights by a third party. (Such as through imprisonment or slavery )
Jul 18, 2024 6:14 pm
Briar is most definitely not on the evil spectrum by even a small margin. I think Dr. Crow would figure that out pretty quick with her. I mean, she runs around telling villagers they are heroes in training, lol.

That being said, I am so here for this! I have yet to run in a game where a there was apt to be PC conflict due to morality and alignment differences. Conflict does not have to be violent; social tension from personality mismatch among the team of people who rely on each other to survive in the face of larger, more direct threats opens a door for some real interesting character development and interactions all around. I am excited to see how things unfold.

I think Briar’s naiveté will make it more difficult for her to see through the sanitized versions of Dr. Crow’s explanations and I honestly can’t wait to see what potential character evolutions that may force her into if/when she figures out the truth. She’s had one substantial development thus far (which resulted in her level 3 archetype choice being way different than what I intended when I first created her) and I enjoy being in games with people who have so much consideration for their character’s identity.
Jul 18, 2024 7:30 pm
Briar’s personality certainly comes out and Dr. Crow finds it refreshing! Dr. Crow is not without empathy or compassion, especially when it comes to the innocent and downtrodden. Just the opposite. Having been exposed to so much misery and pain the good Dr. is "Hell Bent" on changing all of that. I thought the Tiers of Evil would be a good way showcase how as he grows in power so does his obsession.

I think the best way sum up Dr. Crow is with the following quote:

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

We went to St. Louis.
Went to the Zoo, City Museum, Magic House, and Aquarium.
We tried to see the arch, but it was $40 for parking due to a baseball game.
So we skipped that.

The Zoo was free, and we spent like 6.5hr theres...

Sorry...busy day at work (short staffed...and 14 hours in, 10 to go), will post tomorrow.

Sneak attack:

You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
I realize that the father doesn't see himself as an enemy to the son, but the son is treating the father like one.
Quote:
The son scrambles across the walls of the old church. "Father!! I AM HUNGRY!!" he yells, launching himself off the wall and rushing his father. Grabbing the old man by the neck, he lifts him off the ground, desperation and rage twisting his face into a horrific mask.
Quote:
The Son ignore Dr. Crow since he knows he has the correct target already...
If firing an arrow at the Son, would Jerinvar gain advantage? If not, could he have his familiar (using fly-by attack) fly by the son, use the help action to provide advantage, and then continue on its way, beyond the son.
Jul 31, 2024 3:46 pm
Jorah is already in melee with the son. So you may gain advantage there.
Jul 31, 2024 3:53 pm
@Sardis You would need to use your Action to Summon your familiar. Last I knew it was in the Pocket Dimension.

And like Basil said you have Sneak due to Jorah being in melee.
Jorah being in Melee does not give you Adv on the attack. You would need to find another way to get ADV.
You would get Sneak attack No matter what.
Jul 31, 2024 4:29 pm
@Sardis For ADV, DIS or Elven Accuracy
You can do the following

Adv - 2d20h1+mod
Dis - 2d20L1+mod
Elven Accuracy - 3d20h1+mod

Rolls

Adv - (2d20h1+2)

(1717) + 2 = 19

Elven Accuracy - (3d20h1+2)

(191514) + 2 = 21

Dis - (2d20l1+2)

(411) + 2 = 6

thanks...I'll copy/paste that to my character sheet for future reference.
Aug 1, 2024 7:51 pm
Work is turning into a day, so I'll post when I'm off. That will also give the others some time to take their AoOs or anything like that.
Aug 2, 2024 5:00 pm
Can you draw a weapon (rapier) as part of an AoO? (For some reason I'm recalling that you can't) And I also don't think you can AoA with a ranged weapon.

If those 2 things are true, I don't believe there's any form of AoO Jerinvar can make.
Aug 2, 2024 5:08 pm
AFAIK, both of those are correct.

I guess technically you could use a ranged weapon as an improvised weapon to make a close combat attack?
Aug 2, 2024 10:26 pm
@Sardis Yeah MaJunior is correct.

You can't draw a weapon as part of an Attack of Opportunity
You can't Make a Range Attack attack with an Attack of Opportunity .
You CAN use your Range Weapon as an Improvised Weapon to make an Attack of Opportunity .
Aug 2, 2024 10:32 pm
Jerinvar wouldn't use his bow as a weapon and risk breaking it. He won't take an AoO.
Aug 2, 2024 10:41 pm
You can't break your bow if you yell "BONK!" when you do it.
Aug 3, 2024 1:47 am

Ah, did not know. I thought because my crossbow is single handed it was possible. Disregard my AoO
Aug 8, 2024 5:32 pm
Just a heads up...I leave tomorrow morning on a camping trip with the family and won't be back until Sunday afternoon/evening. Anything that needs to be done with my character to keep things moving along, feel free.
Aug 9, 2024 2:16 am
Have fun!!
Aug 21, 2024 12:33 pm
Apologies for my lack of posts as of late. Not sure what I'm going through but my interest/desire to play D&D has plummeted.

Please remove me from the roster of this game.
Sep 3, 2024 8:23 pm
Just wondering if we were still active or just waiting on someon?
Sep 9, 2024 6:48 pm
Hey all, im going to give it a few more days to hear something on the campaign... If its still quiet im going do bow out.
Sep 10, 2024 2:57 pm
Reasonable. It sucks to lose another game, but PbP is a fickle mistress.
Oct 10, 2024 3:36 pm
If this picks up again, someone shoot me a line and let me get back in?

Likewise. I will jump back in readily but I want to clean up my game list so it’s only active listings.
