OOC General Chat

This is Out Of Character (OOC) chat for general discussion.

Thanks for the invite!

Can we design our character or would you prefer we roll random characters?

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you all. Looking forward to my first pbp game!

Welcome all. Let's wait until a few more make it into the game before we decide on character creation options.

Hi everyone! Looking forward to playing with you all!

Hello all! Glad to be here, looking forward to getting to know you and having a fun game.

Hello Everyone!

Glad to join thoa game with you all.

Anyone have any character ideas yet?

was waiting to know if we are creating our characters by design or if we roll randomly.

I just sent the last two invites. I'll give it a day or so to see if they accept the invitation then we move on to discuss character creation choices.

I'm thinking Rogue. Plague Doctor looks kinda tasty, not gonna lie, but I think I'll keep my first character basic

Myself, I like it old school style: roll 3d6 down the line and then see what fits. But I am fine if folks would prefer we do it differently. I know a lot of people prefer to do 4d6 drop lowest, and rearrange stats as you like.

Also, I would rather keep it to Kelsey Dionne's own ancestries and classes, and leave out 3rd party content.

For these kind of OSR-ish games I also tend to lean towards rolling up character stats and picking a class based on what you get. I think it's fun to discover your character as you make them, and it sometimes helps me push out of my comfort zone and play something I wouldn't normally choose.

But it's not hugely important, so I'm good with either way, depending on what everyone else wants.

I'm good either way... The game is pretty deadly... GM's I've had allow you to reroll all stats if 2 are lower than 14. I'd prefer to pick class based on stat outcome... but I'm currently playing a completely randomly rolled character in another game and he's gradually becoming one of my favorite characters I've played in 40 years... so...

I'm fine either way.
But I tend to roll stats in line and make do with the outcome.
Always like the idea of discovering who I will be playing.

I will do the same then!

I think we are still in the discussion phase... will need GM to make the final decision on how stats will be done.

Hey folks. Happy to be joining the game. I’m fine with whatever stat generation method we choose.

Hello all, I am the last to join I think?

Ready when everybody is.

So... where are we at?

Drgwen = roll 3d6 down the line and then see what fits.
But fine if others would prefer it done it differently.

Synaptic = rolling up character stats and picking a class based on what you get.

Balthazar = roll 3d6 down the line (reroll if not two 14+'s) see what fits

GeneralET = roll stats in line and make do with the outcome. (but good either way)

My IRL Old School Essentials game does 3d6 down the line, but if you get none over 14, or one under six, you can choose to reroll if you want. Then once you have your six stats, you can swap two sets once—that allows you some flexibility to choose your class.

I could live with that method

Looks like everyone is here and the discussion is underway! How about this, we split the difference. Make two PCs. One 3d6 down the line. The second PC is 3d6 you choose where to place the them and pick your class based of this. Start with the 3d6 character down the line and if this character kicks the bucket then the second character comes online.

sounds good to me

Agreed, sounds like a good compromise!

Sounds good.

So basically you are 100% going to kill our first character... Im here for it!!!! lol

Oh that's a fun compromise! Agreed.

All of you are welcome to use https://shadowdarklings.net/ to create your character. You do not have to show your rolls. We will use the honor system, I trust ya.

Do you want story mode with "quest givers" etc? or I provide the three modules with a description of what they are and you pick one and hop right into it?

I'm fine with just jumping into a module. The start of a new game can often feel a little slow, so might be good to start close to the action!

I'm good with jumping into a Module.

I'm all for getting into the action

Here are some leve1 adventures. Let me know which one you would like to play?

Things Below: Eberta Toll the waterways guild master offers 50 gp to explore the tunnels and find out what happened to Clamdor the tunnel engineer.

Ill Gotten Gains: The pirates of the Vermin Wake lair in the fallen temple of Avarice, the
forgotten God of Greed. Raiding their hideout while they scour the seas promises to yield countless pilfered riches…

Wizard’s Game: A wizard challenges you to a game of skill and wits. Is the wizard playing fair or is this wizard playing for keeps?

The Forest of Doors: Some say when one door closes another door opens. The pale door has opened for you and the maze that lies beyond is known as the Forest of Doors.

I vote for Forest of Doors.

I will be out of town for the next 3 days. Expect me to post back this weekend at the latest.

And I'll throw my vote for Ill Gotten Gains. But like above, all of the them sound interesting.

Vote Tally

Things Below: 0

Ill Gotten Gains: 1

Wizard’s Game: 2

The Forest of Doors: 1

I'll give one more day for anyone to vote that has not done so. Then we'll get get started.

Apologies for being quiet these past few days. been a hectic weekend. Hope you all are doing well

Looks like Wizards Game got the most votes.

Character is submitted, time for axe shenannigans!

Sorry gang... today is a right off for me... hard day at work with a migraine on top of it... home now... beer and bed is all I got in me tonight.
