Your intuitive reasoning is probably the better way to think about it though. :)

Yeah, I like swashbuckler and almost went that route. I figured (at the time) we could use the AT skills more than a pure melee build. I also figured I could play him with the personality regardless. His backstory and personality won't change. I like them too much.

But an avatar and a subclass are easy to change (right now) if the group prefers I go a slightly different way with him. I'm fine with pure face/swashbuckler. I just need to know if that works better before we get underway.
Ah, that's why then. You do whatever you want to for him though, not trying to pressure you into anything. We've already got all our bases covered so there's really no need. I was just curious.

P.S. Ew, maths.

Not feeling pressured in the slightest :)

Genuinely happy for (and appreciative of) the feedback. Don't stop!

I was seriously agonizing over whether to go Swash or AT. I could still go either way and if one way helps the team out more that would push me over the edge. Minus any input, I'll go AT because "yay magic". Either way, he'll be a fun character and his personality is locked in.

It just comes down to do we need the extra melee or the extra craftiness/versatility? Don't think there's a bad choice.

I rarely play anything but human or dwarf, and normally a cleric at that... This is going to be interesting, given Breezy's backstory. Forgive me if I am the clueless do gooder... cuz, well... I am... :)

Nothing wrong with a clueless do-gooder when he has teammates of flexible moral values :)

AVATAR TEST!

Falka the meatshield/murderhobo barbarian reporting for duty. Feeling slightly inadequate with my point buy stats but no matter. I have a good feeling about roleplay in this party, and we've got all our bases covered!

RP will be great! I'm confident.

I can't see your character sheet though. Can you add it to the library?

Love your avatar! Psyched to get going with this great crew.

How do I do that fancy avatar thing?

If you edit your character sheet (upper right hand corner) there should be an option "change avatar". Click that. Then upload an image from your pc.

Done!

Wait... we actually have to RP our character??? So used to being a DM; this is maybe the 2nd time I have EVER decided to play, and I started gaming around 1979/1980... 😳😳

Game on!

I did that part. There's an avatar uploaded, but I don't see any way to set the "play as" avatar-in-avatar thing that everyone has. :( It's probably right in front of my face and I'm just not seeing it.

There should be a drop down menu for "reply as". Switch that to your character's.

AH! Yep. I knew it was right in front of me. Thank you. =D

Okay. The game thread is up!

How's everyone enjoying the game so far? I hope it's not going too slow. I promise there will be dice rolling and combatting at some point.
Aug 17, 2018 4:01 am
It's been a little slow and awkward for me trying to figure out where I am and what's happening, since we're all kind of doing different things at once. I'm starting to catch on, though.

i'll try to speed things up a bit where i can. if i could start over, i may have just started everyone at red larch to begin with. my thought process was giving you guys chance to "find" your character by giving chance to just RP for a bit before starting the game proper, but PBP really lends itself to roleplaying period, so that seems a bit unnecessary now. i must admit, i am enjoying RP heavy game for a change also. but, i'm a fan of good mix of action and RP'ing too. maybe i should have injected an encounter on the journey to Red Larch.

as for everyone doing different things. i'm gonna plead innocent here. that particular issue is out of my hands :-)

I didn't mean slow as in the game or the scenarios, I mean slow as in I'm not used to reading through all the forum posts and things are out of order sometimes. You're doing fine. And none of it was meant as a complaint. ^_^

Once we are all formally together (instead of just travelling in the same loose group) with a specific common goal, it'll be easier to follow. D&D is always a bit tougher to manage when the group splits up (in person too). But we're just getting going and haven't properly formed into a single group yet.

We do need to find a way to get together and link up into a team. It feels like it's happening organically. I'm loving the game so far. Great way to start us off. I'm learning a lot about the other characters by getting to see where they chose to go and what they choose to do when they aren't locked into a role in a group.
