EDIT.

You make a good point Raz and after hearing the GM on the matter, I now feel confident in this character.

I look forward to cracking some skulls with the party. :)

Uncle Ted is a fellow Ketephys devotee! He's even got pointy ears (elven heritage)! :-D

I hope everyone is close to being ready

Do we want to do common dialogue in bold or in a distinct color?

“Like this?”

Or

“Like this?”

Boldb is the easier of the two...so let’s go with bolding dialogue

In reply to Tauron Alphmellon (msg # 57):



Still a few more updates for people to finalize characters.

We can start role playing in the game thread if everyone is ready to do so.

Also note that I have opened the gameplay thread!

I can see the elven :)

Better later than never.  Drezghl the half-orc ranger joins the party.  He's ugly, he's moody but he's got your back in a fight.

He was originally going to he a half-elf, but I thought the party was too elffy (is elffy a real word?), so i decided to switch things up.  I'm looking forward to having fun.

Ok we are 90% ready to rock and roll?

And the posts thus far in the game thread are well done.
I will wait for everyone to post before I do a follow up post.

No pressure!

Without intending to I realized I just made Raz even more ridiculous then originally intended.

So he carries his musical instrument with him in a giant case however he also can just summon a magical instrument via cantrip which means that even though he lugs it everywhere, he almost never has to take it out of its case.

Actually the orison is perfect for ending a performance ie bashing the instrument to bits...
Or over the head of a foe...

If anyone wants to roll perception or sense motive or whatnot please include in your second post....

Also please let me edit post #2plys feedback on either post would be appreciated

Could we get the grids that have been taken so we can choose one? I don't need to know who has them, just will which ones are taken.

Thanks!

Sorry I didn’t follow your post.  Feel free to send me a private message.

Check out the “hex map for exploration” notice and feel free to chime in on what size we should use for this game.

I like to plan for 2 week excursions (14 days).

A couple of options, assuming 30ft speed and traveling 16 hours a day.

1. The Western Plains
   
   E1 (assuming it is already explored) = 0.33
   D1: 1.66
   C1: 4.00
   B1: 5.33
   A1: 6.66
   A2: 8.00
   B2: 9.33
   C2: 10.66
   D2: 13.16
   E2: 14.50
   F2 (return): 14.83
   =================
   9 total hexes explored
   
   
2. The Western Forest
   E2: 1.33
   D2: 3.83
   C3: 6.33
   D3: 8.83
   E3: 11.33
   F3: 12.66
   G2: 14.00
   F2 (return): 14.33
   ==================
   7 total hexes explored
   
   
   
3. The Eastern Plains & Hills
   G2: 1.33
   G3: 2.66
   G4: 5.16
   G5: 7.66
   F5: 10.16
   F4: 12.66
   F3: 14.00
   F2 (return): 14.33
   ==============
   7 hexes explored

(for those curious on the maths)

Exploring a Hex:
Plains: 1
Forest/Hills: 2
Mountains/Swamps: 3

Moving between hexes:
Plains: 0.333
Other: 0.5

edit:

The light green/gray/snowy hexes are plains
The darker green/yellowish bumpy hexes are hills
No swamps or mountains

If you look at the map of the overall region:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2DNy...The+Stolen+Lands.jpg

You can easily identify the 4 types of terrain. When I first started playing it I thought there were swamps in the forest there but when you look at The Slough you can clearly see where the swamps are. Also there is often a lot of confusion on what "hills" hexes are but if you look at the overall map you only see 4 kinds of hexes. Light gray/green, green/yellow, green foresty and green swampy.

In reply to Razmatin Vulcovila (msg # 71):

These all seem viable to me!

Game thread is moving along.

If anyone wants to offer feedback or ideas for making it better please let me know.
