Jabes, Ox and X I could use updates when you get a chance.

Anyone who is cool with posting their characters in full that works too. I can really got into strategy and tactics so I like sorting through what the team is capable of.

The stealth group is pulling out all the stops for this insight check!

That's so freakin awesome that a teacher is posting D&D game entries just before and during school hours. I SO WISH that I had discovered that one of my teachers was a D7D gamer back when I was killing it running crazy-as-fuck early era games. I would have had Teach come over to our game on the weekend, bought him beer with my fake ID, rocked an awesome game sesh, faked all of the opponent rolls to maximize Mr. Garvey's character success, had a badass time in with multi-generation interaction, and scored up some goodwill for a better grade in the class!
Haha, that's a great story!

I used to DM for students after school before I had kids. We had a pretty sweet setup with a 3D printer, a plotter to print out huge battle maps, projectors for digital maps and stuff.

Nowadays I come to GP to scratch the rpg itch, but students still play D&D in my classroom at lunch time. We even have an all girls group that play 3 times a week, which is a cool sign of the hobby growing.

Hi everyone! First of all I'd like to apologize for my extended absence. I'm back with some sad news (sad for me anyhow).

The day I was hoping would never come has arrived: Due to recent changes in my life (some good, others not so much) I am going to be forced to drastically cut back on my game involvement: I am currently involved in over two-dozen games on GP, and I intend to halve that or worse. Had to get that out of the way but there's no danger (yet) of me having to drop Dark Thrones! I gotta admit though, I've fallen far behind the story. Will try to catch up.

Welcome back Jabes. I get minimizing your games. I only play this one myself. Otherwise I find my involvement in all games gets watered down as I become less invested in each game.

Jabes! Glad to see Ivor back on the boards saying "WTF, Kray!" Like old times.

Best wishes on managing through whatever the RL demands are. I sure don't want to lose you from DT, so don't get overwhelmed catching up on story!
Quick summary: Y'all went to a rich folks' mansion party, the Monk and Rogues started sneaking around, and the Fighters have been napping. (Dang. That's a pretty accurate summary if I do say so myself, but that sounds like a fucking lame-ass game. Sorry, fellas. No wonder it was time for a GOLEM to enter the scene! Pendulum swinging at you...watch out now.)

Sizhen is going to try to pull the old tie-the-ATAT-walker-up-with-the-tow-cable trick. Hopefully it will slow the Golem down so we can run away, or at least impede its attacks.

Who knows, maybe we'll even get to pull a strangle-the-boss-monster-with-the-chain trick, although it will have to be without gold bikinis this time.

Is it adamantite armor with armor nipples?

Dang. Gold bikini Princess Leia needs to be a character in this story somehow.

You know...because her outfit. Fits the time period. Good clothing and hairstyle imagery.

I gotta say, I’m loving this Inquisitor/Monk addition to the group.

I haven’t seen the Inquistor in play before, but there are some really cool features.

Just watched that stack video again. Good stuff.

Krays got his regular crew with him. They'll do a stack lol.
Ha! I hear that!
Kray, Thorn, and Ivor could stack the fuck out of that parlor door I'm sure. Offensively or Defensively.
Anyone trying to do CQB through that door incoming would definitely find themselves entering the proverbial "fatal funnel."
Yeah.. with a sentinel on both sides... Ivor's net hell in tandem with Thorn's heavy metal. Going to red and wet real quick. Nasty stuff.
Reminder: Ivor has neither his net nor his trident, and IIRC Thorn hasn't got his greatsword.

EDIT: I should've thought of trying to pass the net off as some sort of traditional Dannein garment hahaha!

Yup, Thorn also very wisely left everything behind. Maybe the tea guy has a knife he could use...

Hey that's great Oxbox, I'm glad I joined this group. This is my first time playing the inquisitive archetype, and I am liking it so far. I wanted to build a character that could function well in social, combat, and exploration scenes equally well. The mechanics aren't necessarily strong, but they're not weak and most importantly they tie in with the fiction of the class really well. J seems like the kinda of DM that will support outside-the-box thinking too.

Ha! Len, Hyp, last Ep I was like "Alright, y'all. Heavy armor is fine, but be warned: this is a swamp adventure. I think people who fall in the swamp lake wearing heavy armor and shield tend to drown."

Going to a King's Castle Party in full battle rattle kit gear is awesome for the character sheet, but flunks the realism test. Realism. What a bitch.

These super-hero characters seem to manage well enough though. Thorn just knocked some fool the fuck out with some UFC combos for 24 hp damage.

A mix of city and field work is probably going to be a recurring blend. Definitely is this time it seems.

And ya def: I love shocking turns, unorthodox plans, and exploitation of info that blows predictable story lines off rails.
