You're right on that.  Soo many campaigns out there, it hard to keep track of the characters ^-^

LOL!  Sounds awesome!  Oh wait.  I thought that was Princess of the Apocalypse.  Oh well.

See. This, actually saying this is so much better than "The one undocumented dice roll all fight was TOTALLY a success, and was followed up by them having a better AC than anyone in the party.  honest".

You have no idea how much better it is to hear the you say "Yeah, that's a handwave".  It really lifted my optimism a ton.

My own track record has reached a point where I prefer the Killer GMs openly out to get me, than the ones who think admitting handwaves, dice fudging, or rails ever happen is a sign of weakness (And then get flustered every time you take their word for it and try things).

Most players (not all, alas) are mature enough to accept that dealing with chasing down every last bandit or going so far off the plot rails that you have nothing prepared, isn't gonna work out if you just ask them.

EDIT: It would be super cool if Nathan could get a concession for blowing his channel divinity +10 hit bonus on an automatic failure, though.

(And I seriously mean it about saying 'Yeah, that's a handwave' mattering a LOT to me)

Boomboom! Speaking of, still waiting to do that OOC design stuff with you. :\ Can understand if, at this point, you wanna hold off until the new year, though. Holidays are busy. But if you can work with me on it, I'd like to do that so I can continue playing Igatho.

Had a feeling.  Please don't take attacks made after GM says, "Fight over" as me trying to be disruptive or demanding more blooood.  Just staying true to the character.  And adding in the dice rolls as a "Just in case the GM feels like this would be fun."



Yes that would be super cool....



LOL!  Yup!  It was super cool!  :D

Yeah, I know what you were doing, Nathan.  I always appreicate creative Role Playing, I was just incorporating it into my own DM style.

Sure thing.  It'll probably start off on that after the holidays, they're always busy and all, and I'm just starting implementing the Strikethru To Do List System to keep my things to do organized.  http://striketh.ru/

Sorry so long posting.  Failed to realize it was my turn during the holidays.  ^^;  I'll just tell myself that everyone else was too busy as well.

ah no worries.

Merry belated Christmas and Happy belated new year everyone!

In reply to Igatho (msg # 76):

Yeah, it's the other side of the holidays:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpiVm8eilXU

Now we can get back to our games.

I'll be sending you some E-Mail on Igatho's story.

Are the parties converging yet? And should we start a new thread for the change of scene?

In reply to thebluespectre (msg # 78):

not yet. i just set things up for your party to find out whats going to be happening .

Huh, so that's how you house rule critical then.  Though, if that's how you modify the Criticals in 5th ed, you should have had higher than +14.

+14 would just be adding your Rapier and One sneak die, 8+6= 14. You'd have gotten to add your DEX damage as well. So you'd have had...

Let's see, digging up the one note. 18 dex.  Okay yeah Johnny would have done 1d8+18.

The best corrections are "Hey, did you know you would have been MORE AWESOME?" corrections.

Vanilla Crits Johnny could have just ended up just rolling four 2s that way (Hey, I've rolled 7 dice and gotten 5 ones and 2 twos in the past...), so I definitely see the appeal of your method.  Only point of confusion for Nathan and I was, well, we didn't know that's how you had crits work, and neither of us could work out how you came up with +14 through assorted methods (Because were were considering DEX mods).

Is bluespectre still around? He hasn't posted in 18 days. I hope he's OK.

You have one error there.  I'm referring to the Modifier, not the Score.  (Note:  When I refer to the Abbreviation, I'm talking about the Modifier)  So 18 Dexterity means +4 DEX mod.   So it would be 1d8+4

So it goes from d8+14 (missing dex mod in there) to confusion with the difference between 18 dex and +18 crit mod, so now poor Johnny only gets 1d8+4 on a crit.  XD

So to be clear, when Johnny crits, it should be: 1d8 (weapon roll) + 8 (maxed out weapon roll) + 6 (maxed out sneak attack roll) + 4 (dex mod) = 1d8+18

... riiight?

Yup, That's what I said.  As Nathan is highlighting,



Max Rapier (8), Max Sneak dice(6), and Dex mod(4) from 18 Dex.  8+6+4= 18.  So 1d8+18.

You could only have the 1d8+14 from your post, if you didn't use your Damage modifier at all, basically.

Hopefully you intend to mean that you DO get your damage modifier still (in which case, Johnny deserves another 4 damage) and you thought I meant something silly like "He gets +18 damage because he has 18 Dex".

The Roll20 invite is closed, so I can not reply to it. So I will reply here.

Living Parnast Playtest seems the proper choice since you will need that tested at some point. So I would put priority on that. Obviously, I would be bringing Pan as we discussed.

That said, I hope you are not expecting video from your players for the Twitch thing since I don't have a camera myself. :\

Joining Parnast Pan on roll20 sounds fun.  But same "no camera" situation here on my PC.  And I'd rather not have to play on my awkward half-melted laptop.

Whoops!  I didn't expect it being closed and all.  But anyway, Living Panast would be an excellent choice with the two of you.  (And it'll be semi-honobono too boot, like the way I intended)
