OOC Chatter

Talk about whatever!

Welcome everyone! Glad to have you all here. It looks like everyone is Rule of Cool friendly, so hopefully we can create some cool situations and adventures!

You're all more experienced than me, so please be patient. As I mentioned, I can RP up a storm, but I'm still a work in progress when it comes to mechanics.

While everyone is getting their sheets posted, two things I'd like you to do:

1.) Look over the stuff in "World Map & Lore" and decide where you want to start. I've tried to keep the lore brief. You can start in any of the civilized areas, but not the exotic ones. For example, you can start in Umbermoor, but not Winter's Isle.

Also decide if you want to start on the road, or in a place like a tavern. If there's no consensus, I'll set up a vote. Or if you just want me to handle it, I'll select your starting position randomly.

2.) Choose 1 common, 1 uncommon, and 1 rare item you'd like to have for your character. You just might find it on your journey!

Hello! Thank you for inviting me!

I will think about which items I would like for my character sometime soon (as it is hard to pick). Also thank goodness you have potion usage as a bonus action, that's such a better rule imo.

Welcome! No rush on selecting items. You know how PbP is; it always takes a bit to get a game really rolling.

Yeah, potion use as a full action just means nobody will ever use them in combat! Unless it's a potion that's truly OP.

Hi hi! Thank you for the invitation!

This is going to be fun!

Question, is anyone going to be playing an evil character?

Not me. While I'd love an all evil-campaign one day, I'd generally stick to good.

An all evil campaign could be fun but I am playing a good aligned character here as I just prefer it.

All sheets have been approved. Still working on a few details for Leira, but we should be able to iron those out shortly.

So it's time to start our adventure!

#2 isn't that important right now, but #1 is. Talk amongst yourselves! Or as mentioned, you can leave it to me.

Thomas is from Umbermoor, but I also don't mind the traveling idea, as he most likely has at least started adventuring and isn't just a guard at this point. so we can workshop things.

Leira was from Brixen. But she has left the island. She could basically be anywhere, but feel more are home around the coast I guess.

I'll allow any official items, as long as they'd realistically exist in a medieval fantasy world. No firearms or anything like that, if D&D even has such items.

Why don't we start in Umbermoor, it's in the center so we have more space to go wherever we please, thoughts?

Works for me

Sound sgood

Umbermoor it is, then. I can start you in a tavern in Matterfort, which is in the center of that region; there will be folks at the tavern who need stuff done. Or you can explore the town and maybe bump into more possible quests.

Or you can start on the road (maybe just south of Matterfort), where you'll probably run into excitement.

Make your choice!

Ah. Perfect. I like the tavern start. It's classic, and may be cliché but I still like it.

Indeed it is cliche, but it still feels so right!

Cliches are cliches for a reason, they work haha. I’m ok with this start!

It's 2 out of 3 for tavern in Middlefort, so I'm putting up the first adventure post now.

Heyde, if you have any objections to this start, I can try to fit in something in to accommodate you once things get rolling.

First adventure post up. Let the fun begin!

Works for me! :)

About 3 days since the last IC post.

Is everyone still motivated for this? Just taking a break? Need me to do something? Lemme know.

I'm still here. Waiting for the others to get done talking to the NPCs.

I've been having a long weekend, I shall respond later tonight, still wanting to do this!

I was holding back a little giving other a chance to catch up as well.

Well looks like we're all ready to meet up again...

I think the Cult might be a bit too high a level for us, but I'm willing to investigate if outvoted.

All these choices are geared towards Level 1 characters.

In general, I'll make it super-obvious that something is deadly, like having an NPC say "Rumor has it that there's a dragon in that valley. Best to stay clear."

And you can always abandon a quest if you have a bad feeling about it. This may irritate certain people/groups if you've pledged to complete a task, but you can probably finesse the situation...or just hightail it before they can do anything.

OH! My bad, I misunderstood that, then anything is fair game then xD

Tossing out a poll since there's no consensus.

@Greel: Haven't heard from you since Nov. 2. As stated in the game info, going AWOL for more than 7 days means I'll find a replacement.

If I don't hear from you today, I'll remove you, then re-open the game and find a new player.

Heads up GM, I'm on vacation for the next two weeks, I can get on but will be slow for this time period

Understood. Thanks for letting me know.

It'll likely be slow for a bit anyway, because I'm pretty sure I'll have to boot Greel (his account says last activity was 7 days ago), and then select and onboard a new player.

Maybe we should break a little then? We can get a replacement player while Dracostern is on vacation.

I've removed Greel. Re-opening the game posting to find a replacement.

Yeah, we'll have a semi-break, but I'd still like to see a few posts here and there. Games tend to die when there's zero activity for weeks.

Fair enough, I'm trying to figure out how to respond tbh

Kristian is our replacement player! I've sent an invite, so they should be popping in sometime soon.

Kristian, I've set up a thread for your character sheet. Once we get that sorted, we can get the adventure rolling again.

Thanks for the invite. I will start my character creation soon

I am looking forward to playing with you

Hello! Welcome!

This game hasn't really gotten off the ground, and I want to focus on other things. So I'm ending it.

I'm removing everyone in about 24 hours, and then retiring the game.

Too bad. Thanks for the invite anyway
