Hi all! Thanks for adding me! Really looking forward for some Fantasy adventures with SW rules!

@nezzeraj You told me about a way to shorten images. I forgot the command. What was it again?
May 15, 2024 11:15 pm
By "shorten" do you mean resize? There's a forum post here all about image resizing: image resizing

@Furmyr Pathfinder 1e spells were iconic and derived very much from the D&D 3.5e OGL which meant that spells belonged to the schools of magic. It's only recently, after the remaster release, that schools are not a thing anymore. However, Savage Worlds Pathfinder is modelled after the Pathfinder 1e and hence schools are a thing in magic here. But, there is a unique freedom about designing magic your way by applying the 'Trappings' rule of Savage Worlds magic system. So, I have a question regarding trappings. How far are you willing to be flexible about trappings? Can I design trappings on my own, trying to categorise them under the schools? For example, I have taken Entangle spell and given it a trapping 'chains from other realms'. So, I am envisioning that the spell will draw a summoning circle on the ground and living chains will comeout out of the circle and snap and bind the target for the duration. Can this trapping be done? Or do you want to stick to the trappings given in the book, the glue and the vine. Although in the spell description, they suggest other trappings, like ice. For my trapping description, it will become conjuration rather than transmutation but it is upto you to decide.

I do love that flavor. I think the spells in the schools of magic is a game balancing effect. Almost every power could be flavored to someone's school of magic. It is however not one of your opposed school's spells, so I will allow it for now. If it turns out to be overpowered we can always reign in later.

Hey man, thanks! I mean, this spell of chains can't be overpowered because it doesn't have any damage associated with it. Just like the spell description says the chains will have hardness 8, which can be broken.

Hey all, just fyi, I'll be out of town for two weeks starting tomorrow, so responses may be a bit slow, but will try and post in the evenings.

OOC:
Where is Rusty Dragon inn? Anywhere near Cathedral, maybe? As I promised to go there, but it would be unthematic for Li to put this above his lead towards Misaki?May 27, 2024 4:35 pm
Here is a list of the locations named so far.
1. Sandpoint Cathedral
8. Sage (Brodert Quink)
26. General Store
28. Madmae Mvashti's House
31. Wheen's Wagons
33. The Hagfish
35. Sandpoint Market
37. The Rusty Dragon
49. Kaijitsu Manor
Also added this to the map thread.
The Rusty Dragon is in the southern half of the town. Though we haven't defined where the alley you met Bruno in is.

Here's a short video showing hagfish slime by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5PGZRxhAyU

Thanks for the locations! Very handy!
Lol... the fish is interesting, Li will certainly not go into the competition of drinking something like this!!! :)

Wess doesn't intend to drink the slime juice, but, unfortunately, he can easily be goaded into it. I'm starting to think these Hindrances might be a hindrance.
May 28, 2024 8:28 pm
I was well aware of hagfish (I used to work for a marine science agency), which is why Saldrina declined to participate in the challenge.
May 28, 2024 9:07 pm
Hey everyone, sorry for the silence! Was dealing with a dour anniversary that came up last Monday. Catching up now!
May 28, 2024 10:21 pm
Hey Abbyssal, welcome!
I thought Hagfish was entirely made up for the AP, you learn something new every day.

Is there an actual amount ($) listed in the AP regarding how much is in the purse?
Jun 2, 2024 8:15 pm
I'm taking a short vacation without Internet access from Wednesday, 5 June until 10 June, and will be unavailable during that time.

Not sure if this is helpful to you, Furmyr, or others, but in another SW PbP game I'm in, the GM asked that we include some standard info in our posts, to keep it easier to track things for ourselves and him.
Example: Bennies: 3 | Wounds: 0 | Parry: 4 | Toughness: 6
Perhaps adding Fatigue as well, as that's relatively common.
We've only just started so can't say for sure how useful it may end up being, but just a thought.

Yup, make it a snippet on your character sheet( along with your characters catch phrase and battle cries) and you can quickly drop it into post.
Jun 4, 2024 9:47 am
If you have a custom sheet you can use something like this:
But it should be pasted after mentioned stats in your sheet, and those stats field should be defined like this:
Wounds:|
[ +- ] Status
Wounds: | Toughness: | Parry: | Bennies: |
Wounds:|

Hey everyone, sorry for my sudden absence. Been dealing with a lot of stress the past two weeks and just couldn't focus on posting. For a tl;dr, hit a dear, totaled my car, just got hold of the new one.
Playing catch up now :p

Yeeeah. The hit wasn't too bad. The poor girl took the hit like a tank. An admittedly squishy one, but still. I hardly felt the shock of the hit. Most of the damage was really just the hood, grille, and radiator. And I JUST had that last bit fixed as well XD
Ah well... May The Black Pearl rest in peace. I'm still trying to think of a name for the new SUV.

Ermmm.... Last I saw, it was flying off to the side. It ran out just at the point where it could hit near dead center and because I did my best to brake, the momentum was kinda like playing pong.
Jul 2, 2024 10:17 am
Good thing you are okay now. I work in a transport company and I've seen what destruction they can do to a big car if you hit it just right (or wrong). Good to have you back :)
Jul 8, 2024 7:16 am
Hi. I will be on my vacation from 12th until 21st. With no possibility to post. And as I will have increased workload before and after this period IRL I will be much slower(or not at all) with my posting from 10th and until 23th. Just wanted to let you all know beforehand. So hopefully my PC could stay in background or GM: please bot him:)
Aug 8, 2024 3:29 am
So, unfortunately, I've made the decision to bow out. Mind's just not in the right spot to continue, sadly...
Aug 14, 2024 8:26 am
Makes me wander - as I don't know the setting too well: how many half-elfs are there normally in Sandpoint - how common they are?
Aug 15, 2024 10:16 am
There is 1240 people in Sandpoint, of them around 1% is half-elven. So around 12 permanent residents.
Sorry for lack of updates in main thread. Last few days have been hell at work. One colleague got a kidney stone, one had to go to another department and last one is on vacation so I'm stuck holding the fort myself. Barely have had the time and energy to update the games I am player in.

Don't worry! Take your time! Hope your problems will solve fast and thanks for info.
Aug 16, 2024 12:35 pm
Yup, no worries. And as someone who's had a kidney stone, hope your colleague is okay.
Nov 6, 2024 4:30 pm
I'm going to need a few days to process things. If I do not return, I have enjoyed the game and all of your company.

As I'm not native speaker (I don't think anyone will be surprised... :) ) I wonder if the world "flabbergasted" was good choice in this sentence:
"While running towards next goblin Li sees the body of a person he think is Lonjiku Kaijitsu... slowing his steps he feels flabbergasted... demolished even... down inside..."
?
What word would be even better?

Nov 15, 2024 11:12 am
Flabbergasted has a less serious tone even though the meaning is accurate. I would say either just shocked or overwhelmed. Stunned or crushed could work too.
Nov 27, 2024 10:28 pm
Once again, my wife and I are on our way to Walt Disney World, Dec 1-6. Please bot me as necessary during that time. Thank you!

Hi, sorry for delays on my side... :( I have a little epidemic in my house, with some nasty virus, still lurking from previous week :( My youngest one is currently in hospital, but everything should end good. Realistically I will be able to post the soonest on Friday... But will try earlier. Please bot Li... probably he still is most keen of separating goblins from their heads... for all they have done...
Dec 19, 2024 12:21 am
Oh, sorry to hear that Pedrop, esp about your kiddo :( Hope everyone gets better soon!
Dec 19, 2024 5:11 am
Damn, thats bad! I wish a speedy recovery for you and your family. Hope everything gets better soon.
Dec 19, 2024 4:05 pm
That sucks, Pedrop, I'm sorry to hear that. I wish him (and your family) all the best.
Dec 20, 2024 9:39 am
Yeah. Get well soon. Will update the round soon. Didn't have time yesterday due to sickness at work.
