OOC Chatter

Place for any non-game-centric chatter. Could be about the latest sportsball event. Could be your new hairdo. Could be your notice of impending vacationing.

:)

Hi everyone, nice to meet you.

Go local sportsball team!

Woo sportsball! Make the points, kick the thing!

Did our team score any runs this quarter?

Certainly. We hat-tricked behind the line of scrimmage after the ground rule field goal.

Unfortunately team, it looks like Tsavo/Reizei had to bow out. Life was getting in the way. I've got a PM out to see how they want Reizei dealt with (either having them fade away or some marvelously dramatic exit of my own design). Putting that aside, I wanted to open it up to you guys: do you want me to reopen the game for another submission, round the group back out at 5 or would you prefer to keep it closed as a squad of 4? I'm open for whatever. If we reopen, do you want it just a free-for-all or do you want to have a focused recruitment? Also, if any of you has someone you know that wants to join, I'm game for that too.

Well that's unfortunate. So if I am not mistaken that leaves us with one of each rogue, wiz, paladin, and fang is a fighter? I think? I am OK with 4 ppl but if everyone wants to look for a 5th I am OK with that as well.

Fang's a druid. So we have ALMOST a classical set, slightly reflavored.

If you were to pick up a fifth, some kind of non-magical ranged output may be nice. Ranger or an archery focused fighter, possibly. Additionally, a cleric may not be a horrible pick up, either. But I can always adjust what you come up against to make sure you've got a fighting chance. :D

Either way, this won't derail the game. Keep on trucking and if we have to add someone new in, I'll find a way to work them into the game wherever you are all at.

I am good with that.

I am headed into work so I'll be dark for a bit

Take care Bfm !

Do we have a final tally/request for what to do regarding our lost player? Would you prefer to pick up or continue with 4?

I'm sorry to be so unhelpful but I'm fine either way.

Can we give them more time, or are they gone for good ?

Given that it seems everyone is kind of fine with either direction, I'll go ahead and roll some fate dice. If the result is positive, we'll open it up. If the result is negative, we will leave it as is. If the result is neutral, I'll roll again until I get a pos or neg result.@Cosmic -
He dropped the game and wasn't planning on being back. Wasn't able to maintain regular posting. I told him he was welcome to stick around, but he opted to leave. Unfortunately.

Also you could use reiz as a dmpc until we get out of here. I don't know if he had any supplies that would help our escape or not. But when we do get out he can just go his separate way.

It is kind of sad we lost my fellow rogue. Was looking forward to working with him.

One more newbie thing. Now I know you want us to roll the inspiration at the same time but I thought you could wait to see if the first roll sucked or not and then roll the inspiration. And also can you give your inspiration to other players?

Inspiration allows you to give yourself advantage on the roll. Per RAW (emphasis mine):
Because Inspiration allows you to give yourself advantage on a roll, it means we follow the advantage/disadvantage definition, you roll both at the same time and take the best. I'm keeping that part of RAW.

What I'm changing is allowing you to stockpile Inspiration (gaining a second point) to soften some of those times when your first throw is the higher one and you feel like your advantage was a wasted one.

Per RAW, you CAN give up your inspiration to give it to another player. I'm going to allow this only if the player you are granting inspiration to currently has none.

So a brief recap:
