OoC

Yeah, for sure. :)
But first I need to figure out a few other things. I'll come back to you then.

I can't always get the character images I want and keep seeing great ones that others use. How are you guys getting such cool lookng art?

I'm actually using AI art from https://www.bing.com/images that runs on DALL-E

For my character art I asked it to make "ravenman in a green jacket and feathery arms. holding two wooden shortswords. comic book style. White background"
After a few attempts I got something where is also had wingsI used paint.net, removed the extra wings. Added two more layers. The first one was white and then I asked the AI for a forest image, also comic book style and placed that as the last layer. Then I set the white background to be 90% transparent resulting in the effect that you see now.

My second go-to option is heroforge.com. Here you can make a 3D mini, give it equipment, race ect and paint it. I know that AI art generators do have a hard time making animal hybrids so my first character attempt was done with Heroforge. I would then zoom in on the mini and take a screenshot to get the avatar I was after.

The HUGE advantage with heroforge is that you can produce several diffent versions of our character and use them in different contexts

I have has relative successful attempts in hero forge for humblewood characters. Hedge, mapach and sone of the birds have been tough

Thanks for the tutorial! I was able to make something passable lol.

Yeah, I tried an AI but it had trouble with the wings. And since I actually plan to use them I wanted them done right. I will try a couple different engines and see what they can do

Sorry for being slow, I finally finished writing up the backstory and filling out the character sheet for Leif Truetail!

How far is it from Meadowfen to Ashburrow?
We left Ashburrow and saw the smoke 1 day after we left, crossed paths with the guard after that, arrived at Meadowfen.

Couple days So basically you saw them half way. the guard has been gone a bi

Day 0 - you left Ashburrow
Day 1 - You see smoke
Day 2 - You see Guard
Day 3 - You arrive in Meadowfen
Day 4 - you have awoken this morning

They were traveling at a faster, more urgent pace than your group.
The guard would usually send messages back each day by a fast rider or magical means. None have been heard. since they should have arrived there. Which would have been later Day 2 based on their pace.

I will generally assume that all party members are there in instances like this. I know post rate is assumed 3/week so I don't want to leave anyone behind when they are still posting that rate.

Making someone roll their dump stat is always fun

Grateful for that Advantage though 😅

So, I wasn't making this unknown but this is my first PbP GM'd game. Just getting a little admittedly self conscious of the pace of play or anything. I am not infallible but open to feedback if you think things are going too slow, too fast, or if I keep missing things. Feel free to let me know here or message me, whatever you feel most comfortable doing.

I am super excited about this campaign and I want to make sure you all are having fun. :)

In my experience as a GM each game, or group of players in a game, has a different flow. It usually takes a bit of time to get a feel for the rhythm. Some players are consistent, some prolific, some sporadic, etc. So far so good. No one's dead yet anyhow :)

@runekyndig just awaiting a morning action from you I know you advised you wanted to check out the rock

I have overextended myself and I am going to drop out of this game. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that might cause us and I beg your forgiveness. I have also been on GP daily for over 5 years, and I am considering taking a longer break, once I have ended all my games.

hey I do not blame you at all. Take care of yourself
