Re: OOC - Third party

GM sir, why don't you put the map directly into the thread? Seems like it would be easier for everyone to see.

Because that way I would have to host it online somewhere else.  This way the map is hosted at RPoL for me, which makes it easier for me to upload and link :)   It also means that you can always get to the map easily, even if lots of people have posted and the map has moved off of your screen. And it is habit :)

I tend to right-click on the game link and open it in another Tab or Window, that way I can move between the map, the post (so I can easily scroll back and forth to other people's posts) and the text editor (or word processor) that I am using to write my post.

Plus of course ...

Habit :)

Nope, Lightshot. I will post an example in a bit.

Once you take a picture with Lightshot, copy/paste the url into another instance then extract the actual url using Inspect Ellements and volla:



Technically you are hosting it somewhere, but you do not need to maintain an account or anything.

Re: OOC - Third party

Thanks for sharing that Jicca. I've been wondering if there was a service like this somewhere.

Re: OOC - Third party

It looks interesting, and worth having a quick play with - but it doesn't show an image on this PC, just one of those 'Picture Unavailable' place holders  *shrug* because of the restrictions placed on it by my employer.  If RPoL get through the firewall, then images hosted on RPoL get through as well.

And I think I would still want it open in a different tab, so I can scroll up and down through other players posts (that way I can check that I am responding to everything)  and  switch back and forth to the map easily.  In one game I play there have been 12 posts that take up three screen (with the way this PC is set up) since the last time the GM posted - and there could be more if there is inter-character banter involved.  Even as a player, I would find it really frustrating scrolling back and forth across that lot :)

Ok, you talked me into it. Here is a sample from a game I ran:



              Loc      AC/TH/FF      H.P.           Notes
Abbie                  13/12/11      6/13

Cimri                  16/14/12     13/13
Beck                   15/12/13     12/12           Sickened
Lauren                               7/7            Sickened
Varsaivius             17/10/17      9/9
Abraxas                16/12/14      8/8            Sickened
Edgar                  16/12/14      9/9

Special:
Party average Initiative  : much lower than 20
Monster average Initiative: 20

Hazards: Characters without ranks in Craft (armor), Craft (leather), Profession (tanner), or similar related skills must succeed at a DC 12 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round, then sickened for 1 minute afterward, after which they acclimate to the tannery’s stench.

Sickened: -2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.


Summary:
Beck pukes a little at the stench
Abrades moved in, carefully behind the others, but the smell was stronger than she had thought and she bent wrenching for a minute.
Varsaivius slams the end of his morning star into the dog's back. 7 pts
Edgar vaults down onto the ground with grace, and moves to flank the dog, drawing his sword cane
Lauren is too nauseated by the smell of the Tannery to do anything.
Cimri moves into position and tries to lay in the dog with her sap, but the smell of the tannery made her eyes water and  the attack hits only air.

The dog turns on Varsaivius, but its teeth is not match for well forged iron.

Not today :)  I was up at 3:45 am to take my wife to the airport, then went straight into work.  I got home at about 7pm.  My brains are fried ...

Re: OOC - Third party

"This lengthy, segmented horror writhes and twists, pulsing its venomous mandibles in search of prey."

Size = M - so perhaps 5 feet long.

There is only one dead mite in the main room, the other slid down the shaft that leads out.

Re: OOC - Third party

Gotcha, so maybe moving to that room where we have more room to fight whatever other vermin are down here would make some sense. Does anyone know "Lesser Restoration" :)

Re: OOC - Third party

two things ...

I will try and get you a new DM posts tonight - so last chances to move out of that corridor before .....


This is also the time of the game when a king maker DM's mind turns to the next stage of the campaign - kingdom building.  While you guys will be a bit further down the pecking order than the other group, I want to be able to start including you straight away.

This would be a good time to check what I have for you in  the Player Information thread :-

link to a message in this game

And send me an update by PM. A large chunk of the Fluffy RP available to you in next stage will depend on what I have in that thread.  If you want Fluffy RP based on your character history and character 'wants' - then make sure I know what they are.  If I have nothing from  you, I will assume that you want to sit out the Fluffy bit :)

Re: OOC - Third party

Don't worry if you aren't in the lists yet -  that just means I haven't made any notes about your character yet - and just work from the basics.  PM me and I will add your text  in

Re: OOC - Third party

D'Oh.  In my rush I uploaded the new map for group 3 over the top of a map for Group 1.  That will teach me to try an do 'Games stuff' before I go to work.

Sorry group 3 -  But you can see your real map (for the moment) by looking at the group 1 map.

If you don't read the other OOC thread -  It might be worth looking in just to see the Entourage Post I have just made.
