DMJ - too funny! I barely had to do anything this year ... I arranged for my wife a 4 day vacation to go see a figure skating competition in January and I'm still riding the wave on that one :)

I work the weekends but if we wait until I have free time this game will never start. Since everyone else is good to go on the weekends, I'll make do.

Ybus ain't no skate, he eats 'em like soup!

I did read some of the world history, but much like the character I think it's best if I make it all up as I go along. I may even purposefully rewrite history... at least in my own head.

I have a personality for Erden in my head, but I haven't had time to read through all of the world-building stuff yet, so I don't have a clear backstory. It ok if I make it up as needed, at least to start?

You five of you know I'm a huge fan of "discovering" one's own backstory details through play! Yeah, go for it!

Don't worry, Hyp. Trust me, the pace will be slow and steady while I feel my way around.

Jabes, you locked the main thread :-)

Feb 17, 2018 6:30 pm

I did, because I had to fix my post. Unlocked now. :)

Sorry about missing your post, Naatkinson. I've edited my post. You guys are back up!

I want to thank Len for this Battlefield Features idea which I love so much!

Can't remember whether it was Len or Nate who first put enemy AC & HP out in the open to speed up combat. Might not work for all groups, but I think it's fitting for this game!

I didn't invent it, I stole it from this guy

Hey Jabes, I see you have mastered every player's favourite quality in a DM: rolling badly!

That was T2 though. T1 is the leader.

"Neither Blinded nor Incapacitated deliver auto-failed saves."

Ah, you are correct. I was thinking of paralyzed and misread the blinded text; blinded auto-fails ability checks that require sight.

OOC:

... falling back to the cart will provoke OA's from Urumi and Shortsword...

OOC:

I was kind of picturing it as Disengage - should have wrote it out in Action blue. Would that work?
Overall, felt like we needed to have someone get in there and crank up the badass van right away so that everyone else can jump on as we bust out, leaving thug fools behind frustrated. May endure OAs if Disengage is not feasible, but will take DM advice about the spacing, layout, what's possible, etc. if there is a way to do both 1) man the vehicle in time 2) protect self from cheap shots.

Right on. It's not like Urban fell back, mounted the wagon and tried to drive off all in the same round. We'll call that a Disengage.

Feedback so far:

Jabes, you're doing great. This is engaging, descriptive, and action-packed. Two thumbs up :)

Feb 22, 2018 6:14 pm

Same feedback from me. Good times, Jabes!

Likewise, having a grandiose time.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Baracus' attack should of been at advantage. I've used the Help action on Baracus twice—here and here.

The first one would of went to this while his second to his most recent, no?

And since we are on the topic of old stuff

[ +- ] Rydler was adamant about getting the farmer out of there:

Feb 22, 2018 10:33 pm

Hey look at that, you're right HypCo! I forgot to add it. I rolled it again and got even lower, so nothing needs to change :) Baracus must be getting over confident.
