Re: This is the OOC Thread

The next post will have a bit of exposition. After that the party can leave for Brastlewerk.

Re: This is the OOC Thread

This is still an immense amount of information to absorb. It's good that I'm not part of the current scene but I've been [mostly] a GM since 1982 and I usually build my own worlds. It isn't often that I am thrust into a world of someone else's creation where the norm, isn't.

Re: This is the OOC Thread

Putting together the entire backstory was certainly a bit- ...a bit of an effort,even though the setting is mostly vanilla Pathfinder.

Holding it together is a lot like juggling cats.

It helps that I am trying to keep everything consistent, so the explanation for A that implies B is consistent with the origin of B - which implies K and Δ - making the entire thing connected to its other bits by logical threads that reinforce the whole structure despite the relative sparse nature of the information available .

Nonetheless, keeping all the alternate realities (namely, the ones that never come to exist because of player action) consistent and making the information come through certainly caused a lot of mewling from the aforementioned cats :P

Last call for whatever shopping you may want to do while still in carp, I'll post the arrival near Brastewerk tomorrow.

Re: This is the OOC Thread

Nah, I had nothing I really needed to purchase that I can think of. Did you say anything in recent posts about our special ingredients being around? I confess I haven't really gone through what spells I have available anymore, but the special ingredients should still have the same functions as before, right?

Re: This is the OOC Thread

If by special ingredients you mean the additional material components that give certain spells additional effects, then yes, those work as normal. Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean.

Re: This is the OOC Thread

I work casual overnights for a company, and I've been emergency scheduled a bunch of times in the last week. I've often gotten an hour's notice to be somewhere, pretty please. No internet there. My sleep schedule is a little erratic, but I will make a point to check in here daily.

Re: This is the OOC Thread

Yeah, I have been trying to connect from a smartphone but rpol is not really designed for that. It's really not designed for that. At the very least, typing a post without a proper keyboard is a proper pain.

Re: This is the OOC Thread

I agree. My lunch breaks during the week are 30 mins so it's either eat or struggle to type something for one of my games. This week was my bi-monthly 3-day weekend so I road tripped back to hometown and watched a high school soccer game with my friends.

iPhone 10 has a bad habit of not showing me the text I am typing while I am typing it, unless I scroll down manually. Then it's not scrolling left/right. I have a colorful vocabulary now.

Re: This is the OOC Thread

Went from doing a week of emergency on-call work and chained it into my city's first tornado. Just got power back after a couple days. Headed to bed, but I'll post when I'm up again.

Re: This is the OOC Thread

Good dog but does Paizo keep nerfing stuff. The scarred witch doctor no longer casts on Constitution, Snowball no longer staggers, Family Heirloom no longer provides... Half of its original benefits, essentially...

Seriously put down the nerf tools and walk away. Don't you have a fifth edition ruleset to plunder for pathfinder 2?

Re: This is the OOC Thread

That is a very good question... It certainly feels difficult to write in, and I get the impression that most of the people who are still present feel the same.

I don't suppose anybody has ideas on how to improve the overall energy of the game?
