Thanks for the heads up Serren. Travel safely.

Happy day, my fellow players... or should I say Iadace!

It looks like for the most part backgrounds have been created, introductions have been made, character sheets have been completed, and connections have been formed. I know there are a few more bits of logistics that need to be stitched up, no worries there.

Having said that, we're almost at the point where we can get rolling on this wonderful adventure! Before we do, I want to make sure you all feel ready enough to begin. We'll proceed even if there's still some unfinished business with character creation, as long as it's nothing critical to gameplay that can be buttoned up before we get too far underway.

As you all know, the PCs are undertaking the Wandering Walk. Here's how I define the Wander:



In addition to GM Intrusions and adventure milestones and discoveries, I will award XP based on demonstration of personal growth and self discovery your PCs gain through their pilgrimage. After all, that's why they're undertaking it, true? From the personalities, backgrounds, and motivations you have all provided, this is the perfect group to develop this rather nicely!

Let me know if there's anything you need to do before we get started. I'll give you heads up before we actually kick things off. Happy adventuring... and most of all, have fun!!!

Thanks, Chief!  :)

What is your current ETA for the first post, barring any last minute hiccups?

In reply to the Game Master (msg # 10):

Sounds great to me! I look forward to beginning.

I'd like to get it launched shortly after the weekend, if possible. It depends on if any of you have anything you want to finish up with your character creations beforehand.

In reply to the Game Master (msg # 13):

Sounds good to me! I think Sybella's all finished.

As there's really nothing to be found at the reservoir I'm going to had wave all the actions. I'll narrate it in the IC thread.

In the future, if you'd like to attempt an action please go ahead and make your roll in the dice roller and paste it as an OOC comment in orange in your post.

Sounds good! I'll wrap up the character creation tonight and post after the next GM drop! :D

What posting pace is preferred?  Should I fire away when ready, or wait until everyone else has posted, or wait some set period of time before posting?

I would say post away, just... Not sure quite what to try at this point. I'm sure when we get to the village I'll be able to roll straight into it!

You can post as often as you like, especially if you're doing dialog between PCs. However, when making any decisions, make sure you leave some breathing room so other players can weigh in with their PCs.

If you want to be able to move the story forward without having to wait for a quorum or consensus on smaller decisions, you may want to consider choosing a de facto leader to make those decisions. Not completely necessary, just a suggestion.

With combat, we'll want to wait for everyone to take an action. If there is a gap in posting from a player during combat I may end up NPCing a character to keep things moving.

What type of law enforcement authorities would be in a Beyond village like this one?

I suspect that such a thing would be common knowledge to the characters, even if this player is clueless...  :o

By the way : "Charis and Sybella" is almost an anagram of "Carib and Scylla". Found that funny.

Dare I ask?...  o_O

In reply to Charis (msg # 20):

There really isn't an official constable per se. Maybe a town guard or someone assigned to do watch. Nor is there really any government, but there's most always a town leader for a village or aldeia.

Sorry, wrong translation, it's closer in French :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Scylla_and_Charybdis

Oh.., as in the expression caught between Scylla and Carybdis"? Is that what you were thinking?

As for the unforeseen challenge of the missing fresh water supply...  WE ACCEPT!  ;)

As the minor illusion would result in an unwanted effect on the people in the bakery, I'm going to ask for a roll. Because you have an edge in Intellect you don't need to pay a point to activate it.

DT 2 for this action, so you'll need to roll a 6 or better. You can use effort to lower the task if you like.

Please copy your roll from the dice roller and paste it in orange into your post. You can edit your previous post if you prefer.

Exactly !

In reply to the Game Master (msg # 27):

Will do! I'll spend Effort. Why not.

I’m. It writing Serren right now because he is just looking at things. His main intervention and his appearance  mean havoc, and we don’t want that right now.

I'll answer tonight if no one has.

Great minds think alike...  :)

EDIT: Oooo!  This was POST NUMBER ONE HUNDRED!!!!!!!!!!  :D
