This is clearly where we can interact with one another, please be civil

Good evening

I have updated the amount of starting gold please adjust accordingly.  The potential of having 320000 gold was an error on my part

I see no problem with the potential for $320,000 gold. :)

working on some stuff, should be ready to go in a day or two, equipment and all.

Greetings and salutations!

Welcome all, just waiting for some to get things done.  Thren is stepping out but already have his shoes filled.
I hope that anyone from Canada is having a good thanksgiving weekend.  And any others are just having a good weekend

folks, bear with me, work is horrid this week. I will finish up my character sheet in a PM to Storyteller hopefully by the weekend.

Not a big worry, if I have learned one thing.  People are patient on RPOL.

Sorry also.  On a brief work trip, hope to have something done tonight.

Thanks guys

Hello everyone.

So I'm looking through the PFRPG book and I can't find how much a Horse costs.......

Can't find the cost of a quiver either.

War Horse
2000-6000 gold untrained
8000-24000 gold trained

Jumper Horse
1000-4000 gold

Mule
1000-2000 gold

Ponies
400-2000 gold

Race Horse

So group, question for you all...

Wizard or Ranger? I have decent scores, but nothing exceptional.

So far the ranks are

Drugar - Blacksmith/Ex-Priest
Korin - Psi-Mystic
Ronan Stonehammer - Dwarf Warrior and Smasher of Barstools
Saul Hudson - Long Bowman
Thilo Brighthand - Wizard (but he has let me know if someone else wanted to play a wizard he would play something else, as he only selected wizard cause no one had filled it at the time.)

A ranger with a longbow, the right kinda skills and maybe a couple choice minor psionics powers would be useful and awesome. Of course more magic wouldn't hurt. I'm always of the opinion whatever you would have the most fun playing will probably lend most to the overall story.

Ill probably have some magic infused arrows if the GM allows it.

In reply to Saul Hudson (msg # 20):

Korin can cast Ricochet Strike on them too. I bought a bunch of potions and scrolls but I was thinking of looking back at budget to see if I could come up with some cheap, clever magic item. All the obvious stuff is way expensive.

Ranger it is then. Will get something in a PM to the GM in a day or two. this weekend was spent asleep mostly :)

Just doing a roll call to see how everyone is

Sent a PM.

dragging along. Will get you a PM tonight/tomorrow with a finished sheet.

Good to go!

Good to go also

Just about done putting the character sheet together.  Unfortunately my Palladium book is a not so user friendly PDF.  I'll type up within the next day or so.

It's a sausage fest in here...no female PCs...

One of my character ideas proposed to the GM was a gay elf assassin. He liked the Longbowman better.

I could flip the gender of my Longbowman and be a Longbowman

Finished my character sheet...*flex* *flex* 29 PS...sheesh

I assume you meant longbow-woman...that's a personal choice...no pressure...

Indeed it is a choice :D or so they say

I flipped my gender once in college.

Eh?

I assume this is in reference to changing a characters gender. But hey I'm not going to be judgemental if the player was referring to having a sex change.

No judgement, just curious...or maybe that's bi-curious? ...

Ah, another dwarf?  Greetings and well met Drugar!

How much for a PPE battery via the Talisman spell?

In reply to Korin Simmat (msg # 39):

I will look into it

please dont let me hold you guys up... I'll get my character done, it's just been hectic at home recently.

Uh oh.....seems like my character took that potion you find at the end of Fable II.

Watch out for the dwarves their all pervs.

Are ya one o' t'em trans-somet'in' or anot'er?

Background still reads "he" and "him"...

And Ronan likes his women hairy...

Okay quick update

1) I am catching up on The Walking Dead on Netflix....so no spoilers, that is kick-able offence from the game...lol...;D

2)Two players are adding some estrogen to the party, so you can thank them...however the hell that plays out

3)We will start soon this weekend I will have something up.  So I will be going over your characters one more time.  Make sure you have made any adjustments to gear, etc..

Other then that have a goodnight

Hello boys...

Hola

We're both redheads....

Everywhere? ...

You know what they say...great minds think alike...and then there's us...

Last time Verna checked.....yes.

Aye, I'm a red head too...all over...yeah, that's right...

Well here we go, a week late.  No excuses feel free to post and questions about the City of Wisdom let me know and I will answer.

Is there a post up already?  Can't see it...

In reply to Ronan Stonehammer (msg # 53):

Should be in "For here is where we meet and here is where we start"

Ah, sorry...needed to open my eyes...

Is anyone interested in starting out together?  PCs with history together?

Perhaps the Dwarves know each other?

I can be work out a history if anyone wants. Ranger... when I get my sheet done. lol

It was brought to my attention of one of the guidelines I set out for communication.  Please feel free to use whatever color you want, just please stay consistent to it.  It was a good point and I don't want to over burden the chat with unnecessary clutter.

Just punched in a 14 hour day....I am a little bagged.  Will have something up tomorrow night to keep things rolling

I haven't forgotten you all... I promise. :(

Well that is good to hear...:D

Just been nuts lately. I'll dedicate time this weekend to getting you a sheet done boss.

Sheet is mostly done... should I start posting now?

Dunno....I might have just started a bar brawl, waiting to see how the NPC's react.

I will have something up tonight

Thems be fightin' words...fo' schizel...

Realized I left that is a weird place, my bad.

I will have something up tonight or later tomorrow night

So looks like there is going to be a fight, anyone that would like to partake please have a post up no later then tonight.  I know holidays are fun and busy and festive....well so I am told :D...but please have something or we will move along without you.

Sorry about lack of posting. Been super busy at work and now on vacation till Jan 2nd. I will definitely try to check in but I will also be in places with no internet for days at a time. Everyone have a happy holidays.

Thank you Korin for the heads up, hope it is a relaxing time.  That goes for all of you hope your holidays are epic in there chillness.  I will be posting tonight, just have a hockey game first.

Change that I am pretty bagged from hockey I will be posting tomorrow :D
This message was last edited by the GM at 08:38, Sun 18 Dec 2016.

Started my holidays...aka...doing stuff around the house now :D......will try and get some good posts up.

I hope I can ask for patience had a family emergency come up.

Hope everything is well.

Yes hope everything is well. Family first

Fortunately and unfortunately the family emergency turned to my family member passing away very quickly but also in peace surrounded with family.  I thank you for your patience and will have some posts up here right away and get this new year rolling.  The reason I guess I am sharing which I am sure is a little strange is this a way to move past this moment in life and to distract myself somewhat.  I usually use video games to distract myself, but I am finding this storytelling to be very intriguing.  Anyways I greatly appreciate everyone's patience and look forward to the new year with you all.

You have my condolences. I hope you and your family have peace again soon.

Sorry for your and your family's loss.

Yes, sorry for your loss.

I will have a posts up tonight

Thanks all and thank you for your patience

Let's do this :D, feel free to post your next actions.

Is Malefic in this game? If you are I think I know which character your running. Anyhow if your Malefic, PM me.

Was waiting on a couple others to reply, I will be moving things along tomorrow night.

Certainly hope Ronan wasn't one of them...

Just putting it out there so those who are wanting a little more character interaction can get it.  I always want to keep the story moving along but I also don't want to get in the way of character interaction and allow you guys and gals to play.

Actually Ronan was waiting for a response from Borsok...no worries, I can move Ronan along...

fairly new to the GM gig, are you all ready to move on or like Ronan said are you waiting on me let me know.

I'm ready.

Ready to roll

Ready

Too bad you went to bed so fast......

K will have something up tomorrow night.....so yeah that didn't happen did it, I will be picking this up right away.
This message was last edited by the GM at 06:47, Sun 09 Apr 2017.

Tried a bunch of stuff to make it work, I lack some of the computer savvy skills.  Anyways I will be adding or adjusting as I get better.  The image is well large.

I will be posting far more regular,  I will openly admit I said that earlier on.  I just had not realized until recently how much my Grandfather's passing away at the beginning of the year affected me.  Anyways enough mushy stuff I am just doing a roll call to see who is still playing and if anyone would like to bow out....you know stuff like that.

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 95):

Still here.........

Im good

Still here

Here

Okay feel free to poke around the city, we will move ahead as three characters have not responded yet.  They will I am sure respond soon, if not though it is fine and what will be will be.

Around, sorry.

Well Verna, I will figure this out but I will have a post up for you later Tonya got.

One player who was playing two character's has opted out, being that he is serving over seas in Iraq.  So keep him in your thoughts and may he make it home safe.  The spots have been filled unless some of you want to run two characters, either way it does not affect the story.

Is this a girl goblin and boy dwarf we are seeing?

Also is the dwarf ugly?

Girl Goblin, male Dwarf(Dwarf is not ugly just average)

I will have a post up Sat, lost two days of framing due to weather and pushing long hours to try and get some time back.

I am assuming Verna and Korin follow them all the way till they stop.

I am thinking of having an NPC board, describing both good, neutral and bad characters that you encounter on your travels.  I will say up front that I am kinda stoked for the idea but also don't want anyone adapting their characters play styles with say secret knowledge of NPC's.  Let me know what you think and maybe any suggestions.

I'd say just a brief paragraph of what we've seen of the NPC in game, this way no can intentionally or intentionally meta game. Anything we haven't seen in character (such as the fact that certain 'friendly' NPC's might bad guys) shouldn't be posted for us players to see.

Yeah I like the idea. Anything that adds to the story. I agree though about maybe only including information our character knows at the time. It can always be edited along the way.

Cool thanks for the input, I should have something up tomorrow night.

Korin would you like to approach the individual, I want to be careful not to declare your characters actions.

Can you make an annoying NPC that no one will like named 'Laney'

In reply to Verna Hudson (msg # 112):

uhhmmmmm I am not about that, are you wanting a vehicle for release?  Or you having a laugh

Being sarcastic/funny.

And I did find it very humorous, I have been mulling it over :D

Will have something up either late tonight or late tomorrow night, but it will be up

Anybody else playing a male gay characters?

In reply to Jalahada Kirith (msg # 117):
My alias is Snake Eater....though that may not have any sexual connotations.

Just have a couple new players, we are just finalizing the details on their characters and I will be introducing them in....everyone play nice :D

Been out and about just got back, sorry for the AFK, will have story progression tomorrow.

Okay got something up, but edited it slightly

sweet

Are there any kingdoms in the Palladium world that has/uses slave soilders?

So most of them have slave or indentured servants throughout the world, the feel from all the books that Palladium has put out is that is very early age like england, france even as old as Rome for technology and how citizen are treated.  There is even a Rifter that touches on the subject of slaves, going so far as to say Dwarves make crappy slaves...I will pull from that for info is you like.  The Timiro Kingdom south of the eastern territories has the largest slave pop.
This message was last edited by the GM at 07:14, Sun 27 Aug 2017.

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 123):

Do you know which Rifter? I probably have it.

The reason behind my question is I was watching Game of Thrones and found myself brainstorming on how to put together an OCC for the Unsullied.  Probably not the best choice as a player character because Unsullied are eunuch slave soldiers, but they'd make a great enemies  for PCs during a mass battle or if they are serving as guards in some palace the PCs are trying to infiltrate.

So the big question is there a kingdom in the Palladium world that would create a legion of Unsullied? They start their training at the age of five years and compete it by age 15.  They go through some brutal stuff (other then being castrated) during training which makes them pretty much fearless warriors who unquestionably carry out orders.

In reply to Verna Hudson (msg # 124):

I could see The Kingdom of Timiro doing that, The Western Empire also might. Rifter38 page45...title how much is that Wolfen in the window
This message was last edited by the GM at 15:45, Sun 27 Aug 2017.

Got that rifter. Thanks

So yep it looks like someplace in the western empire might churn out Unsullied to be sold in lots of 10, 100, and 1000 to the highest bidder. I might not use the OCC, but I'll make it available to anyone who wants it.

Any spoilers for GoT will be auto character death...my wife and bing watch it once the season is done.

I haven't spoiled anything from season 7 here

In reply to Verna Hudson (msg # 129):

Sorry that was not to be targeted....it is more of general statement....

I didn't feel like I was targeted.  I just know that not everyone is current with the show, which is way I didn't mention the scene in Game of Thrones that caused me to begin brainstorming in the first place.

Cutting someones testicles off before puberty and cutting them off from Testosterone seems like not the best thing to do to someone training to be an elite warrior.

Yeah I know. It even mentions in the show/books that they (Unsullied) are not as strong as a knight of Westeros. In the books, Unsullied who live long enough (they probably don't have a long lifespan being used as shock troops) end up as fat household guards.

some updates tonight

Moving along some more tonight make sure to get your posts in

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 135):

Sounds good. It's year end closing for me at work so if I don't post just NPC me as needed.

A couple players are gonna post so I will wait till tomorrow night, also it was my wife b-day today so I got home later then planned.  But if I have to I might NPC you....go luck on year end closing...those are always tons of work.

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 137):

Well we finally got caught up so I don't have to work Sunday.

I will be moving things along in a couple days, one player is still wanting to post so please feel free to post until then.

Addendum: I am watching LoL World Cup so I may forget to post ;P

Sooo yeah I forgot to post, will have something up tomorrow

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 140):

Tease....

In reply to Caspar Uhla Thracce (msg # 141):

I suppose I am :(

I see some of you have posted, the last 2 months have been a real &^%$ show...I ended up framing a 1300 sq ft house with garage by myself(no skilled labor around : well squeezing in other odd jobs to make sure I could pay bills and helping project manage a house for my wifes uncle who had stroke.  Anyways kinda feels like make belief just writing this, but officially all that crazy shit is done know and I have a more reasonable schedule.  Working for yourself can be a real pain in the ass, but it does have some freedoms...some times :D.  I truly want this game to go forward, hell I caught shit from my wife for buying all the books I was missing for PFRPG...hehe holiday present for myself...anyways I figure either let me know by posting here or in the main thread and we will get some adventure going.  I will get it if some of you are skittish as I totally dropped the ball and broke my own rules...

Belated Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays, hope everyone's travels were safe and/or are going safely and that you got a DD for the new years eve shenanigan's.

Sincerely Your Storyteller

I should be back to posting next Sunday the 7th of Jan

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 143):

I’m just back from Rome ready to get going again. I took a year to gut and rebuild a house 5 years ago was long and slow job but very rewarding.

Im around

Awesome, I am glad to see some are still around....HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE and HAPPY NEW YEAR

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 147):

Happy New Year!

In reply to Caspar Uhla Thracce (msg # 148):

Indeed :D

Please post in Part 1/A for the time being.

As I am sure most of you are aware since we all play in other games, but RPOL will be changing servers at an unknown time in the near future.  So there will potentially be a small interruption but I sure it will be a lot shorter then the interruptions that I did. :D

Lets just hope it isn't a month like back in 2006....

The GM has allowed me to post an ad for my latest game:

Rifts: The Order of Mystic Knights
Mystic Knights are infamously known as one of the most hated and feared warriors on the North American continent of Rifts Earth. Many are unaware that the Mystic Knights have a hierarchy. Operating out the Magic Zone there are five Great Houses who control the Order, contracting services across the continent. There are also several Minor Houses that operate outside of the Magic Zone, but yet are formally recognized by the Five Great Houses. Then there are the freelance and banished Mystic Knight who wander the continent seeking employment and riches for themselves.

Player characters will be members of the Great and Minor Houses of the Order of Mystic Knights. Each House is supplying one Mystic Knight and one possibly non-Knight to a mission of utmost importance to the order.

This is an adult game due to the amount of graphic and gratuitous violence that is bound to occur when a group of 4-8 Mystic Knights are traveling across the North American Continent of Rifts Earth.

Lining work up last couple days and nights, will have posts up within the week.  If your characters need anything please let me know, we won't play it out I will just kinda fill in the blanks to the next phase.

Gonna be gone for a week will have something up when I get back

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 163):

Have fun, not too much though so come back

Will have some posts up tonight

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 165):

tease

Ah your right, I am still interested in running this game if anyone is still around

I am still around.

I say have the fort attacked this way you can kill off whomever doesn't post.

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 167):


Im still here

Still in it

hmmm

Not a terrible idea, opened the game to RTJ for a couple days and then I we will move forward

So for those player characters whose players don’t make a post will we be seeing gruesome deaths for them?

Yay for gruesome deaths!

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 172):

Im flying to the UK tomorrow night gone for a week  hopefully they have wifi in the pubs.

Posting while drinking.......

Looks like Verna’s wish might be granted...hehehe...thank you for the heads up...safe travels and enjoy a pint for us...better make that a couple

Been framing solo as of Canada's thanks giving, due to employee issues....anyways that's life...give me some initiative rolls please and I will post something tomorrow.

Init roll was included in my post.

In reply to Verna Hudson (msg # 179):

Ditto that

In reply to Caspar Uhla Thracce (msg # 175):

Am back

How is everyone?

Hanging in there...

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 182):

Getting taller, younger and better looking evey day...

lol nice

Trying to upload a map of the fort I made and any other relative material I find I might want you guy and gals to look at.  Any of the experienced GM's have a good way of doing that?

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 186):

thought it was an option in the game menu, has to be small though, I havent run a game on here in 5 years.

LOL, that easy, thank you

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 188):

Welcome

The only issue i find with the game map (you can have a different one for each group) is that the image might not show as refreshed due to cookies.

That is good to know, I will have an update tonight.

Roll call?

Here

Ready to play

I don't remember a thing about this game, but I'm here.

Sure I’ll have to some reading after a 2 year hiatus.

Awesome, glad to hear, I will post a brief summary later so you won’t have to do so much reading as to what is going on...I am just seeing who is still interested from the original and then go from there.  I would like to roughly keep some of the ideas I had.

With the holidays upon us I am sure it might be a touch slow, but as the last couple people come straggling in as we resurrect this story we will get a steady pace and get to adventuring.  Thanks to those who are still willing to play and to the new comers.

Looking forward to jumping in

Will get something up in the next couple days.  I hope that you all can have enjoyable holidays despite the restrictions.

I'm lucky, I live in GA. We are pretty much running normal here.

Almost a full year later and I have put up hot garbage, I thank you for all giving me an opportunity to GM when I did.  I will be shutting this game down officially effective the end of this week I believe.

Thank you for the time and effort you did put in. It is appreciated.
