Mechanically it is yours and pulleys. I think practical experience is as if not more critical than mechanical. But I am sure an artificer would be handy in keeping it running and I have one as a character. If needed she can help but was planning on keeping her in the keep this round.

So are we allowing multiple Characters? Either as PC or as resources like NPC or retainers. I am fine with DM controlling my noon active PC for things like this.

Just referencing historical material from old time log/timber gathering methods i have the fault of getting too indepth with things.

For simplicities sake, I'll retcon that there's a 4th cart and a 4th team. The first chops, the second removes limbs, the 3rd creates manageable logs, and the 4 loads it. I like detail but as I'm not too knowledgeable (and I'm not sure how else everyone else is) I think this will work. I'd like to think most of the people who are working have cut down trees for their own homes or farms but not necessarily for profit.

I would think anyone with survival skills would know a thing or two. Bookworms and nobles might not be so used to chopping wood.

They can still swing an ax and the armor helps when they do it wrong. It's nice when legs stay attached 😁. Then you can tell them how to do it currently and point out they (I) have the wing muscles and calluses💪.

Let's do 1 PC and you can bring your retainers.

I just wanted everyone to know I've come down with the flu. I'll be returning on Monday. I'm sorry, guys.

so, I see Greyword has been reading Six of Crows. Kaz Brekker is great in the Shadow and Bone TV series, btw.

Since you mentioned that. I have actually DMed a game based on a book from the trilogy (the prison break). Kaz were NPC hiring party and I played him a a rogue and it always felt like he was something more than just a rogue in the book. Giving a try to a warlock.
And yes only yesterday I discovered the series. Will be watching this weekend.

I think I'm done with this. Thank you guys.

"Grandpa...what's for supper?"
"Grandpa???..."

Annnnd I'm back. Turns out it wasnt the flu. Pretty sure just a sinus infection. Now that I'm feeling about 85% of my normal self and back at work, let's get the ball rolling. Sorry for the delay, everyone.

Hello

Howdy there

So what's next?

As DMs makes games available you can join.

I have a few a few ideas how to further improve this very nice organized West Marches forum. There are few things I call a problem, but probably it is just me, so do ignore if you disagree these to be problems

1. Problem: We have 6 players and 2 DMs. Second game only have 2 PCs applied and waiting for more . We lack players, don't we?
Solutions:
- maybe some of the player who already created their second PCs could apply?
- maybe it is maybe worth renaming " [GM'S WANTED] " in recruitment thread

2. It bugs me that Timber quest actual events are under "Notice Board (A board where all jobs are posted.)" and that I need co click through number of links "Beyond the Lilac Veil [West Marches] > Notice Board > Wanted: Helping Hands > Timber!" to get to the game content

3. It is probably not clear to new players that "Wanted: Helping Hands" is no more wanted, while "Wanted: Brave Spelunkers" is still hiring actively. Maybe even existing players didn't realize that (see problem 1 above)?

Solution:
- I would prefer "Notice Board" sub-forum to be only dedicated to hiring PCs for the job and threads either removed or marked "closed" when hiring is done and quest begins.
- I would love to see a new sub-forum per each actual quest and see quests content there. i.e. "Beyond the Lilac Veil [West Marches] > Timber!" instead of "Beyond the Lilac Veil [West Marches] > Notice Board > Wanted: Helping Hands > Timber!"
- Nice to have: make the sub-forum "Timber!" only visible to players who has a PC applied to quest. This would make player communication in Quartercrest after quest completion more important/reasonable

Can't you subscribe to a thread and just hope to it?

Yes

I thought so. Maybe grey hadn't figured out the subscribe button yet.
