(OOC) General Discussion

A place to discuss various topics.

Two posts in the main/story game thread already and we're off to the races! Or racing off a cliff, it is Midnight we're talking about, time will tell? ;)

Nice intro, sets the mood, intriguing NPCs, and lots of flavorful description (even if it's pretty dreary and putrid...but hey, that's par for Midnight). I hope Wexley Thorn is well-versed in Knowledge Arcana cuz' he may be our only one...



EDIT: @Hero, I like how you gave each NPC character a different color font and bolded text when they speak. It really draws attention to and distinguishes their dialogue.

@everyone: Shall we do that with our PCs? I picked a Salmon color for Petra because it shows up nicely on whatever dark mode the forum is set on for me, and it slightly resembles part of her outfit in the avatar pic I just managed to upload.

Perhaps.

Waiting for everyone to get fully online, off work and home alone today, so I threw in a bonus post. To whoever can see it, I added a Player Notes page. I'm not sure how it works exactly, I may need to do more on my end to make it work, but you should be able to see it (and edit it?) as an easy repository of info as the campaign goes along. Just let me know if you can see it (or my GM) one.

Sorry, I cannot see this Player Notes page, only your 'lock icon' Campaign Docs one. I even tried refreshing the site.

Once available, I will probably 'take notes' on who we met and various gear we came across and so forth. I am naturally nerdy that way and take notes for my tabletop group.

Sorry, should've been more specific, you should see it below the field that you would draft your forum posts. Directly below the rolls functions.

I'll post in a bit. I'm having trouble getting a minute that isn't work right now.

Okay, I saw it in the actual game forum. I had to click the little box next to my Character's name that had 'Player notes' on it.

It's very thorough and handy, saves time. So...we all will see the same notes no matter who edits it, right?

That's the idea, or the hope, I should say. If you can edit it, it should reflect for everyone else since it's linked to a sheet in my library. I can update it, I was hoping you guys could add your own notes as needed though.

I'm going to laugh so hard if one of us puts in a note like "this NPC was so sus" and another writes "great finally meeting a fellow [what I am], totally trustworthy!"


EDIT: But please understand this is not a flaw in the system if something like it happens. It's about what cues people think they see.

Ha! :)
Yes, very cool.

Itami should be ready to go soon. New post should be up in the morning for all who post tonight. Waiting to move the scene forward for all our players now that we have anyone. If it takes too long we'll write them in somehow down the line.

@WanderOne sorry, should've been more clear. You can do both Perception and Sense motive.

Seelah sensed the heck out of that motive lol. Too bad it wasn’t a combat post.

Yea, wasn't going to reveal that much about the masked stranger, but Nat 20 is Nat 20.

Just to Double check.
Do you want me to be with the party now?
I have no problem if they come across me (and maybe my wogren) while doing the travel.
I am ok with waiting.

That was the goal. But you can come in later if that's what you want. I have an idea to bring you and Itami in if this cellar scene escalates to combat.

That works for me.

I am picturing my dude sort of like Ulfr from Twilight of the Gods.
Beastly in nature. Doesn't talk much but sniffs around and protects the others.
Doesn't walk with the group but stays along the edge of the woods or scouts ahead at times.
Has no problem pouncing into combat.

You're aware Greemology is more or less already playing that character?

This is going to sound really dumb since he's apparently literally named Ulfr... but what is Twilight of the God's? Isn't that just the translation of Ragnarök?
