Tiny Intro Chat

This is where we can talk about anything, ask question, get answers, etc.

Would you have a map or something that shows where Cords has traveled.

# Previous town
# Adventuring next town
# Cart trouble area
# The hold up place
# Where he current is?

To put all in roughly idea of space relations to each.

Sure I can work up a map. There is already one I have for the larger area. Only it is not scaled for including smaller villages and such but I should be able to adjust it to work for this.

Several of the players have pretty much gone through enough to get an idea of how the system works. So if you have interest in playing with other players just let me know in your Players & Characters thread or in OOC in your story thread.

This is intended as an intro game for players to get familiar with the system/site/role playing. All players are welcome to join for a solo intro session. As noted in the game details game welcome thread players are free to leave any time they wish to go try other systems and games. But if you enjoy the system you are free to stick around for a joint game/story or you can ask to transfer your character to the Tiny Shattered Lands game I set up and daryen now runs. It uses the same basic setting but with a new GM.

As a general policy if I do not hear from players for over 2 weeks I will contact them then remove them from the game if no response is received. Life happens and I understand if you can not reach out to me in advance, so if this happens to a player who wishes to resume the game all they have to do is reapply to the game as all story threads will be saved.

Alright, I will infer from WanderOne posting in response to cheesy9620 you are both up for a joint story so will move both of you in that direction. I will need to wrap up the current scene for each of you, or at least one, then ley you know.

Sound good to me!

the map has a server error when I tried it just now

I added the map to the Refference \ Setting information thread as well as the Tiny Intro notes sheet

Joint stories with other players
We are getting more players in the game so I am opening the option to join up with others. Select your availability in the Cooperative Play poll and post to the thread if you want to add additional information.

Hey I'm working on my character. Does it have to be extremely detailed?

Character detail is up to the player. The Character Creation thread goes over the process but the basic requirements are : Heritage, Trade, Beliefs, 2x Traits, select Weapon, Add character avatar, and finish by submit character
Additional Options include: a minor magic a Hobby or personal interest, and add character history.

Some players enjoy creating a full character but it is not needed.

I like a short character bio, 1-3 sentences to help start creative process for intro story but can just use the heritage, trade, and belief if nothing is is given.

Hey! Thank you very much for the invitation. I'm a fan of the work you guys are doing here and I want to be able to help in the future, probably by doing my own intro on another system or, if I like Tiny D6, another post-graduation game. =)

One of the first things that immediately caught my attention was the lack of an edit button in the player threads.I usually disable the delete button, as you did, but the edit one is new to me. I wasn't even aware it was possible. When do you recommend me to do the same in my games?

hi! I think I completed my character and successfully submitted her. Cass, the florian shaman!

I tend to allow players to edit their own posts in game threads which are at the top level of the game forum.
If you want to control edit at various levels then use sub-forums.

I disable post and edit for refference sections.
I usually allow players to edit their own posts in the Player section but most have not hit that button. It should now allow edits for playes in their threads.

Would everyone who wants or is willing to join a group please submit their posting availability in the Cooperative Play thread (select the rate on the 2nd post with the poll)
I am clearing previous posts just to get an update of who is active and responsive.

I am mereging a bunch of you that volenteered when ask, Thanks for that
Here is the group that will start in the Remote Setlement thread

Octavian / John
htec / Alden
Datsun / Des
Drgwen / Cass

I will also likely continue to move these two stories to converge but as tey are ongoing ti may take a bit.
Rollingforstew / Gemma
DireHalfling / Jharib Misrami
death5114 / Azure

Just a heads up for newcomers concerning weekends. I often check and post on weekends but will not commit to it and do not expect others to update posts on weekends. So players in 1+ daily groups do not need to post then and can get back to them on Mondays

Any players who wish to not have their "Latest Game Posts" filled with other players actions and chat in this game let me know and I can move stories and player/character threads to subforums to allow filtering on what you see and thus get notices on.

Retiring Tula

TTFN MaryK, have fun.

FYI: I am revising my character creation process so that players all start at the normal character creation point.
This means that you begin the game with your Heritage Trait, +3 traits of your choice, 1 weapon type proficiency, and 1 weapons mastered from the type of weapon you are proficient with. Go ahead and update your character to match this.

Is that 3 plus the one we get from Heritage?

Yep. Heritage trait + 3 personal

FYI, I have a surgery in a few hours that may prevent me from posting for a day or two. No worry, though-- the surgery is a happy thing--it's a gender affirming procedure.

Good luck with recovery. Thanks for the heads up

Did some house keeping and moves the active stories into the Tiny Stories forum. If you follow the links from the gamersplane home page it will not affect your, but those that brief to the stories will just need to go once level deeper into the forum before finding their story

Hey all,

I'm glad to be here (again)!

We have a couple recent newcomers so I am reminding players
If you would like to join a group to go to the Cooperative Play thread and select what posting frequency you are comfortable with and add a post a short message to let me know

I like to give people the chance to play with others in this game but found that game/story pacing is a big factor in getting this to work. As this is an open game where people are welcome to join and leave as needed/desired some characters may pop into or out of the stories but I try to narrate it such that this is not the case.

Busy weekend. Posting may be brief or delayed

Last week was a bit hectic so speak up if I missed responding to anything.

Just a heads up for those looking for other games

[OPEN] Tiny Waterdeep
From the grand palaces of the Sea Ward to the lawless underbelly of Skullport, Waterdeep, the City of Splendors, calls to you. Will you carve your name into the stones of its ancient streets? Will you build a thriving business, gaining influence among the merchants and guildmasters? Or will you be drawn into the web of conspiracies that bind nobles, mercenaries, and dark powers in a struggle for the city’s soul?

In this game, you’ll explore the streets and secrets of Waterdeep, striking deals with powerful factions, building your fortune, and perhaps even running your own business. From the wilds of the Sword Coast to the shadows of Skullport, your adventures will bring glory, gold — and no shortage of enemies...

This game is for veterans of Gamersplane.com seeking a living, breathing world to leave their mark upon or for those who’ve tasted adventure in the Tiny Intro and want more.

With a large, dynamic map and countless NPCs, factions, and organizations to interact with, Waterdeep can be your playground, your battlefield, your home. Whether you want to build a business, join a guild, rise through the ranks of a faction, or delve into ancient dungeons, the city is yours to explore.

But be warned — I want this to be a true sandbox game. As such, players and their characters will be free to come and go, so, to make that work, sometimes we’ll have to handwave a "detail" or two (yes, your old friend just happens to show up in the middle of the dungeon — such is life in Waterdeep).

Moreover, you will have to choose your own path. There will be no rails, no scripted quests, no heists, no grand storyline pulling all PCs along. Instead, the city itself is the adventure — a living, breathing world full of factions to join, patrons to help, secrets to uncover, fortunes to claim, and dangers to face.

Read up and ask to join in the Tavern recruitment thread Tiny Waterdeep

came down sick last night, will try and get to posts later today

was totally out of it over the weekend. I think I got back to everyone but speak up if I have not updated your story or if you have questions

Hi, new to the site and system here; this looks really promising to me.

This is where I can ask for help with my sheet, right?

Each player has a player/character thread where I go over character creation with them.
Yours is HERE

We're all happy to help. However, Psybermagi is an excellent DM. You're in good hands!

Can everyone access the public ~ Tiny Intro ~ character sheet? You should be able to access it from a link, above as well as the methods described below.

Navigation Tools
The ~Tiny Info~ also has a bunch of information for quick reference and can be accessed by tapping the grey button below the Rolls section
or opening it from the Characters menus at the bottom of the page. Additional information can be added here upon request.

Please let me know if any of these are not working for anyone

OK I am feeling better and posting to stories that have progressed through character actions or player questions

Just a reminder to solo players that if you would like to join a group to go to the Cooperative Play thread and select what posting frequency you are comfortable with and add a post a short message to let me know

I like to give people the chance to play with others in this game but found that game/story pacing is a big factor in getting this to work. As this is an open game where people are welcome to join and leave as needed/desired some characters may pop into or out of the stories but I try to narrate it such that this is not the case.

I like to keep all the stories a much of a "sandbox" style as possible. This is where players have significant freedom and agency to direct the story as they explore, interact, and influence the game world, often without a strict, predetermined plot. Sandboxes emphasize player agency and emergent storytelling, allowing the players' choices and actions to shape the narrative

FYI : I will be taking a break over the summer from running this game. I will try to resolve ongoing stories or get them to a place we can pause by mid June.
