OOC Thread

And it is totally fine to post out of order.

Thanks Jacketch to posing your questions via PM. Does anyone else have any questions?

I hate to admit it but I completely forgot you were waiting on us here! I promise I'll post something this weekend! :-)

It's okay. I was considering not even saying anything, but I know Jacketch has written something great by the nature of his questions, and I want to make sure he gets a chance to post it.

Awesome post, Jabes!

Hey, now that I'm playing a cleric in Naat's game who's designed to be melee-focused, I was going to ask you a bit about your experience with playing Torden. Any cleric tips? Maybe some clerical errors to avoid? (Hehehe, couldn't resist)

I will hopefully have mine posted within the week, but I can't make promises. Work has gotten crazy (I work in health insurance and it's open enrollment)

No worries Naat, take your time. Hope work gets less crazy soon!

Haha Len I don't know if I have any tips for you. I'd also like to know why Torden has been so ineffective in combat. A design flaw, or have I just been playing him wrong? Maybe I should enter him into CancerMan's MUD!

I don't think he's been ineffective. He piles a lot of damage on, both on and off his turn. He seems to be a magnet for crits and great attack rolls in general, and has only 15 AC. Probably a shield would have been good; you can emblazon a shield with your deities' holy symbol and use that as your spell casting focus.

Hey, Len, thanks for the game! I had a blast. I wished the momentum hadn't died away. Oddly, a number of the games I'm in seemed to all lose players/steam right around the same time, so I'm glad you gave us all a chance write our own conclusion. I enjoyed helping to tutor some new players, then be able to get Kit some redemption during a second act. I wish it could have continued so I could explore Kit some more.

I based Kit on playwright Christopher Marlowe (whose nickname was Kit). Marlowe was arrested for various crimes, including blasphemy and treasonous opinions (mirrored by Kit fleeing for his life after his play criticizing the crown). Kit multi-classing as a Warlock was meant to follow the path of Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus" in which the main character makes a pact with Lucifer in exchange for magic. Marlowe died at an early age, 29, though the cause is still debated. Assassination ordered by the Queen? Drunken bar brawl over the bill? Murdered over the content of his plays? Because he knew too much? Or maybe he pulled an Elvis and faked his death? And since the "faked his own death" theory dovetails into Marlowe continuing to write plays under the name "Shakespeare," I felt free to lift some of the Bard's words to put in Kit's mouth.

I'm almost done working on my post. It's gonna be a bit lengthy.

I loved Pageflap! Your take on the Kenku speaking patterns was great!

Thanks for the game, everybody! I've put a final concluding post in the game thread and locked it up.

Thanks for your great game-ending posts. Jacketch, as usual, your post was amazing. I really loved how you went back and took so many different elements from the old posts. You really brought Pageflap alive, as good as any character I've ever seen, on Gamer's Plane or otherwise.

This game was tough for me, with so many people coming and going throughout. But, I am proud that we finished it, and I feel like I learned a bit more about how PbP works and how I fit in with it.

Take care, everyone!

Thanks for running the game, Len! I'll always be ready to join a game that you're the DM of :)

Thank you for running this game, Len! And thanks also to everyone who played! Special kudos to McDunno and Jaketch for some of the most inspired roleplay I have ever seen anywhere!

See you around, everybody!

Thanks for the game, Len! I'm glad I was able to stick through it to the end, Pageflap was so much fun.
