@Drakis2 It's been real, take it easy out there!

Also how did this game turn into a slow burn romance? I kinda love it, especially the artwork! I'll make sure to try to nudge the two together if I can.

I think they were setting it up before the game even started lol.

Catch you around, Drakis!

Sometimes, the most heroic thing to do is to not do what you want to do, but instead to do what someone else needs you to.

Do we get a classic bath scene now?

Would you prefer the salacious scene or the PG-13?

Honestlu I was thinking more of an opportunity to talk than anything else but if you'd prefer we can do a cold wash in the stream followed by a change of clothes and a return to the road. Oxana is concerned by the fact that we spent part of a night with another Johnsan and do we really know which senses we can afford to trust anymore?

Hi folks, could I check in on how much focus will be placed on this budding romance plot? It's not really my cup of tea, so I don't mind bowing out if you'd like to keep it front and center to the game.

I'm okay with it being big or small. Maybe just add scenes to a spoiler tag so people can skip them if they want? Then you can make them PG-13 or salacious as you like.

It has never been my intention to alienate anyone or make anyone feel like they're not getting their time. I was kidding about being salacious, I'm just here to have fun and interact with people in a roleplay situation. I'm liking the vibe of this game and I want to continue.

As for how much energy, I kind of wanted this to be a scene to allow us to talk and wrap our heads around what had just happened in the other village more than anything else.

Oh, no, that wasn't it at all. Simply a matter of differing tastes. If three of you are keen on the idea, I'd hardly want to step on your fun.

Not objecting to the romance itself, but I would like to take the opportunity to remind everyone of what was in the recruitment thread. "If romance ensues between players or NPCs, it'll be off-camera here if it would be off-camera in a PG movie. Don't have a problem with it, but it's not the point of the game." It doesn't bother me in the least if the characters are involved - and perhaps having four characters out on the road alone, it might be unnatural if a romance of some sort didn't occur - but let's keep our focus on the exploration.

👍

Thanks for hearing me out! No need for spoiler tags, by the way, at least on my behalf. I'm cool with salaciousness as long as it doesn't become what the story is about :P

Will do

Clarification: advantage is 3d6 take highest two, yeah?

I think some systems do it like that. Discern Realities for us says:

Gotcha, thanks for confirming!

I just realized that the version of the document I linked you to was not the correct one. Primarily, in that version, the weapons list a damage die. That's not correct. Weapons only provide tags that show the effects of each individual weapon, not damage. Base damage should be determined by your class (or lack thereof). Only special weapons would have damage dice or damage modifiers. Here's the corrected weapons list.

I like the idea of Brother Irwin being fairly unprepared, so I will give him just 5 rations and a waterskin. He won't know how to use a tinderbox anyway.
