The purpose of this thread is to decide on houserules and to put together a party.

Proposal for 2nd edition

Starting level: first.
Character creation: Anything on the PHB works. However for ability scores we will run a pool. Everybody rolls 3d6 seven times and discards the lowest score. We put together all of the sets and you can choose any of the sets to create your character.
*House Rule 1: Cast using arcanist style. You prepare your spells for the day and can choose which ones to cast using each of your slots.
*House Rule 2: For Demihumans, level limits don't apply if you are single classed.

Resources:
*purple worm 2e rules: http://purpleworm.org/rules/
*For gold & glory: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/p...-Glory?term=for+gold+

Woot! Glad to be coming aboard, gang.

@DM, did you have a certain number of players in mind?

For the house rules, once the arrays have been determined ... does an array get removed as an option once selected?  Or could two players elect to use the same one?

Also, I'm generally picking up what you're putting down with regard to arcanist style.  That is, having a number of spells prepared and then using unallocated spell slots to allow choice in casting cast these prepared spells.

How would one determine the number of spells that could be prepared for the day?  Is it that every known spell counts as prepared, or is there some other number we would use?

With this variant, spellcasters still prepare spells as normal (assuming they normally prepare spells). In effect, casters who prepare spells are setting their list of “spells known” for the day. They need not prepare multiple copies of the same spell, since they can cast any combination of their prepared spells each day (up to the limit of their spell points). So, instead of having to Prepare three copies of Magic Missile, you just have to prepare one slot for Magic Missile, it gives you a lot more versatility in spells, and doesn't just limit you.

^^ Cool, got it.

So if I had two first level spell slots I could prepare two spells, let's say spell A and spell B.  Then later, the two spells I could cast that day would be AA, or AB, or BA, or BB?

This message was deleted by the player at 02:28, Sat 20 Apr 2019.

No, not spell points. The first variant instead.

I'm thinking we could use one to three more players.

(And anybody can take any set of scores, even if someone else picked the same one)

Want me to toss a link to the game over in the other Old Edition games I am in?

In reply to TH (msg # 7):

Please.

Would you like us to begin rolling for the array of stats, or would you like to wait until recruiting has finished?

We can start now, and if you find someone new rolls something you like more, I will let you switch

I don't think anyone will be picking mine.  :)



Even after tossing the lowest one out, I got three fives!

[13, 12, 9, 5, 5, 5]

15,8,10,8,10,10

Better than the 5,5,5

Triple nickel for the win!

Well, since the Array is going to determine what we can and can not play, I'll wait and see what other arrays we get added to the pool. Because with that 15, 10, 10, 10, 8, 8.

Paladin, Ranger, illusionist & Bard are all out of the question.

Fighter, Rogue, Druid, Cleric & Mage can work with these stats.

I'm trying to go for Bard if I get the stats to pull it off.

We have another player and yet another shot at good stats!

Woot!  Right now I'm eyeing TH's set pretty hard ...

Welcome, hope BN can give us a good option!

In reply to TH (msg # 18):

Welcome all, glad to join in the fun, now to see if I can make us all Bards  lol  a singing musical group to terrorize, err I mean play for all audiences young and old.

In reply to BN (msg # 19):

You know in the Fiend Folio there is a comeliness stat now so maybe we all get to roll 8 keeping 7 (a possibility to get 1 more shot at a decent stat roll for the two already rolled).

In reply to BN (msg # 20):

OK, I am not sure why some boxes got checked but here are my rolls - I adjusted the opps checked box rolls plus I somehow miscounted and did an extra at the end I took out - again sorry.

7 officially recorded stats:       6 stats to use after dropping lowest:
14, 10, 8, 12, 9, 12, 14      =    14, 10, 12, 9, 12, 14

Not bad, average rolls.


17:21, Today: BN rolled 12 using 3d6, rerolling ones with rolls of 2,5,5.  For the Array #7.
17:21, Today: BN rolled 14 using 3d6, rerolling ones with rolls of 6,5,3.  For the Array #6.
17:21, Today: BN rolled 10 using 3d6, rerolling ones with rolls of 5,2,3.  For the Array #5.
17:21, Today: BN rolled 8 using 3d6, rerolling ones with rolls of 2,2,4.  For the Array #3.
17:21, Today: BN rolled 15 using 3d6, rerolling ones with rolls of 5,6,{1}4.  For the Array #4.
17:21, Today: BN rolled 13 using 3d6, rerolling ones with rolls of {1}5,2,6.  For the Array #3.
17:21, Today: BN rolled 12 using 3d6, rerolling ones with rolls of 3,4,5.  For the Array #2.
17:20, Today: BN rolled 15 using 3d6, rerolling max, rerolling ones with rolls of (6+1)7,3,5.  For the Array #1.

The rules for comeliness for AD&D 2E have been printed in Issue 89 of Polyhedron. You can find it online.

And we have a fourth player!

In reply to DM (msg # 23):

Awesome :)

Did you want to add comeliness or keep as is?

Still looking for that 15, 13, 12 requirement! Come on!

Welcome, BU!

They see me rollin', they hatin' ...

In reply to SB (msg # 26):

Welcome SB, roll high like the mountains there are Bards in the air.

Hey now! I called Bard 1st,

I am looking at the Gypsy-Bard Kit (If Kits are allowed) from the Bard's Handbook. I really like the Nomad aspect of the kit, and the bonus Non-Weapon Profiecenies that it gets. Even better if I combine in with a Rhennee Human ethnicity. Something about them intrigue me.

hi there all :)
ill start rolling later tonight (hi shapfren, this is borimer)

Ok, I'll make a summary of the character creation and include the score sets.
Let's start thinking of the classes and races you want. And a name, don't forget a name.

Also if you all want to come from the same city, different ones, what city to start from and if you want to do your travel to Hommlet the quick but hard way or the relatively safe but slow way.

But DM! I can't think of a class yet without knowing how good or bad I am at stuff, I need my stats. :)

But... Since I am playing a Thief in another AD&D game, and a Druid in another. I will likely go with something different than those two.

Are Kits from the Complete books going to be allowed?

I rolled a set of stats too. We are just waiting for BU's, but at this point you have four to choose from.

Kits are fine. But just kits, this is my first 2e game in a while and I'm far from an expert on the splat out there.

14,14,12,12,10.09
15,13,11,11,11,07
15,10,10,10,08,08
13,12,09,05,05,05

here are the arrays all compiled neatly so far.


Paladin - Can't Work.
Ranger - Can work w/ Racial Bonuses.
Bard - Can work w/ Racial Bonuses.
Illusionist - Can work w/ Racial Bonuses.
Fighter, Cleric, Druid, Thief, Mage can all work.

DM, will you allow for the different subraces for Humans, in Greyhawk, as presented in the Greyhawk Players Guide?

If the Optional Racial Ability Adjustments end up being allowed. I can qualify for Bard if I go Oeridian and get the +1 to Dex.

Oeridian Bard (+1 Dex -1 Wis)

Charisma 15
Intelligence 13
Dexterity 11 (12)
Strength 11
Constitution 07
Wisdom 11 (10)

EDIT - Ouch, Bards can only be Human or Half-Elf. So.. Being the Bard is gonna be up to the DM and if he lets us use the Optional Racial Adjustments.

[Hard pass from me on the triple five!  I know I rolled it, but I'll gladly be yoinking one of the other sets]

I'm leaning toward cleric or fighter (but sort of want to hold off until I see the last set of stats ... that might change everything).

Character-wise, though, the seed of an idea is forming.  I think I'd like to have my character be a Flannae woman [name TBD] whose people settled in Elredd (just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Pomarj).  She'd be familiar with the humanoids that people the southern lands.  In between border skirmishes and slaver raids ... I'm sure that there was some small amount of legitimate trade that occurred between her nomadic peoples and the less civilized humanoids.  Probably picked up one of their tongues, too.

It would be a stretch to say that she is fan of the fell races, though.  Far more tolerant — of their boorish behaviors and raids and such — than the average Suloise though.

As a Flan, she'd have a darker complexion [eyes, skin, hair] and she'd be at home in a wilderness setting and less so in a civilized one.  She would certainly have a frontier spirit, and would have no problem telling you what she thinks about something.

TH I suggest you look at the thread  link to a message in this game

Ah! There is a 15, 13, 12 I guess I had missed that!

Alright then! Human Bard it is. Going Rhennee. Dark Haired, dark eyed.

In reply to TH (msg # 38):

Yea, I see those stats, good for you.  I' look over what options I like and get back to you.

Either way, a male character.   name will be depending on race.

So far we have:
Human Bard

In reply to TH (msg # 38):

I meant the part where I said no to racial variants?

Can we still use the different Variants, Just not the racial Modifiers, For fluff purposes?

oh man......

I'm not starting with much..


23:26, Today: TH rolled 2 using 2d6.  Starting Gold (x10).

here are my six rolls for our arrays to choose from (first were a mistake, oops): 14, 12, 11, 11, 8.

*with our current arrays it looks like I missed ranger so i'm deciding between a half-elf fighter/cleric/magic user using the array [14,12,12,10,10,8], or a straight wizard using the array [17,12,11,11, 8, 8].
This message was last edited by the player at 17:31, Mon 22 Apr 2019.

And with SP we have five players.

Hi... Aaaand... my rolls prove the law of averages...

8; 10; 10; 12; 12; 14 -- It's an actual bell curve.

Ok, I see you have more or less done good with your characters.

Two things to have in mind:
If you haven't yet told me a name for your character, now its the time.
Start thinking about motivation, and how your PCs know each other. Also which city you want to start.

Are we going to start out knowing one another, Is there a region you'd like us to start in? Wild Coast? Near Greyhawk City, somewhere else. I am also game to making connections with the other characters. Since Vandilo is a nomad its possible he has moved around to multiple places, He was born in Fax though, along the Wild Coast. Anyone with a trade/pirate type background may have also very possibly met Van.

The main idea was to start you up somewhere on the Wild Coast, and then you could make your way to either Hommlet or Greyhawk. Be it the easy way -but long- or the hard way -but fast-.

I can start with vandilo on the wild coast, or in greyhawk, whatever works

Question, since you mention Hommlet, Are we segwaying into the Temple of Elemental Evil? Just curious if that is the direction your taking us?

In reply to Vandilo (msg # 50):

Well, how about this for a start - Dirk has wondered all about Verbobonc and settled in a small viscounty within Veluna's borders on the wild coast to see what adventure lays about for him to find next.  He has found a small room at the local inn and worked odd jobs helping some of the locals awaiting an interesting rumor to follow.

Along the way he has found company at he local inn with a few others who have wondered in also with the wondering lust or just the need to explore and gain something for themselves. When one night after hearing traverlers talk about Greyhawk they decided that maybe a track to the Free City of Greyhawk would bring them something each wanted.  OS they formed up as a group, better to survive in number then alone and planned for their trip.

Just to triple check, which classes do we jave right now/what are we missing?

With the stats as they are not allowing for anything overly crazy I'm probably looking at something a bit more straightforward than I'd hoped for. I was considering a priest of Wee Jas but we don't necessarily have to double down on tue religious side of things. If a more or less straight Fighter or Wizard is needed I can deal easily (or see if I can still finesse a Fighter/Mage from Celene even if I can't get the Kit I want). I can do a Rogue in a pinch but it'd probably be some kind of Kit that doesn't offer all the advantages.

Human (Rhennee) Bard (Gypsy-Bard)

That works, Van would have been very eager to get out of Fax. If you've read about Fax, its likely if Dirk passed through there he would not have stayed long, on fear of getting his throat slit or sold to a slaver. Vandilo although raised very Xenophobic, that is the reason why he is not traveling/living with his family anymore, and has ventured off on his own. Because of not being as close minded as the rest of his people. Even though people still see him that way, at least until they learn more about him.

As seen below, Fax was a pretty rough place. Maybe Dirk had traveled through Fax and Vandilo had to help him out of a bind, the two met, got along and it was a chance for Van to leave Fax, that push that he needed.


--------

Fax
Population: 15,000
Fax is a broiling, boiling, oozing sore on the face of Flanaess. It is a pirates' den, for slavers, raiders, and smugglers. Hundreds of taverns and brothels cram the ill-conceived, ramshackle streets and alleys. There is no law or order to speak of. There is an old pirate by the name of Captain Skulljack who is the official leader of the town, but as he is fond of saying with a jack of rum in his fist, "…wear a sword, cuz anything goes." Fax has a deepwater harbor that caters to dregs and pirates of any kind, from all over the Flanaess. The bay is actually a great place for merchants of strong stomach and stout heart to unload their goods, legal or illegal, because Captain Skulljack has no organized system of taxation. Whenever he deems the city needs something, he takes up a collection from ruffians and pirates, or goes off raiding coastal towns.

I think BU went with a Mage from the look of their Avatar but as I'm reading up on stuff I'm tentatively leaning towards the Elven Fighter/Mage. Even if he'll probably die in no time! :D

The rooster so far is

Cleric
Specialty priest
Bard
Cleric/Illussionist

While it would certainly be really interesting to introduce another Priest to zhat group I think I'll stick with the Fighter/Mage then. Else we'll never get anywhere due to religious discourse or argument.

Nice grouping of Cleric's so far. Its a shame that Greyhawk never did a book like Faiths & Avatars for Forgotten Realms, those Specialty Priests are nice. The Priest of Amaunator for example, Sunlords and sunladies cast all sun, law, and elemental fire sphere spells
as if they had additional three levels of experience. Though the gods of Forgotten Realms does give its Priests a lot more power than the Gods of Oerth does. The settings of magic/divine are different, so I guess it makes sense.

Oh, Depending on what Deity, some of the old Dragon mags, and Polyhedron mags have writeups for a few of them.

In reply to Vandilo (msg # 60):


LOL - you are not kidding about that with so many religious types - and we need a fighter type to anchor the group and mage to compliment the Illusionist so F/M would work.  This will be an interesting group.

  What races do we have?

They went all out with so many religious classes and options.

OH, just found it, From the Ashes, Greyhawk Supplement, It outlines Specialty Priests for Greyhawk.

Halflings: Yondalla' (Creator; protection, fertility),
Arvoreen the Defender (protection, vigilance,
war); Brandobaris (stealth, thieves,
adventuring), Cyrrollalee' (friendship, trust,
home), Sheela Peryroyl' (nature, agriculture,
weather).


There ya go Brando Follower, He is listed in the From the Ashes book as a Halfling Deity

Some of the FR Specialty Priests are pretty tough. I think Azuth or Mystra's cast spells as a Wizard half their level. By comparison, Wee Jas gets access to a few select Wizard spells at higher levels.

I forgot what my Priest of Tempus had (which is a shame cause he was one of my main characters for years) but he was almost a Fighter/Cleric.

Hey gang, I was stuck at work today, sorry for the radio silence.

It's great to see this one getting some legs under it though.

I'll be playing Rega, a Flannae (human) cleric of Obad-Hai.

Very nature-y and outdoorsy type ... basically, following Obad-Hai, she's like 90% a druid (which sounds like it might work out pretty good for cleric deconfliction purposes!).

In reply to Rega (msg # 65):

Yea, good to have a druidish more then a clericish to mix the pot up some.

Thanks for the Brandobaris  update research - weez jus got to adventure and have fun and maybe acquire a few interesting bobbles

after missed the 16 dex req for illusionist, so character has changed to magic user/rogue, max points put into find/rmv traps and pick locks.

so we have:
cleric
specialty priest
bard
magic user/thief
and one other player

that look about right?

Hello all.  I will be your Dwarven fighter as it seems the party was a bit light on the fighting end.

Just in case anyone wants it, here is a very nice map of Flanaess

Hey there. Nice to see your rolls are perfectly average as well. I have to admit that the totality of it all actually makes these some of the worst rolls I've seen. I think the biggest total was a 67, which is still in the average region (mathematical average for 3d6 is 10.5 which rounds to 11 for practical purposes, and we got 7 rolls and dropped the worst) while there was at least one really bad result.

Luckily AD&D isn't as dependant on stats as some other games.

im trying to see what we've got so far:

cleric
specialty priest
bard
magic user/thief
dwarf fighter
and one other player

this look right?

*edit that map is awesome!
This message was last edited by the player at 22:21, Fri 26 Apr 2019.

Helethorn is a F/MU

okay here we go:

cleric
specialty priest
bard
elf magic user/thief
dwarf fighter
fighter/magic-user

Do we have a character sheet?

Edit: what I like about that map ( other than it is gorgeous) is that it has most, if not all of the locations marked form all of the modules.  Towns mentioned in modules, ect.  I have not found the Tomb of Horrors yet so I need to dig out my version to see where it might be. :-)

was B2 Keep on the Borderlands part of the whole hommlet/temple of elemental evil/etc, or was that back in basic dnd. wow I don't remember, its been so long.
too bad play-by-post games like rpol takes such a long time to play, it would be really fun to go through the whole series, against the giants and the kuo toa, lolth, all of it :)

A sequel was released in 1999, Return to the Keep on the Borderlands for 2nd edition AD&D. The original B2 publication was generic in terms of setting, while the 1999 Return module placed the Keep in Yeomanry, making it a canonical location in the World of Greyhawk. The placement of the Keep in Greyhawk did not match many details in the sequel, such as several non-Greyhawk deities, nations, and peoples. At least two of the non-player character descriptions refer to details from the Mystara setting rather than Greyhawk.

In reply to Vandilo (msg # 76):

Wow serves me for not being able to log in for a but, welcome all one and al.

I look forward to gaming with you all.

oh that's right, thx for the update. was there ever a B1..?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search_of_the_Unknown

yes

now I remember the artwork, my older brother had it with his box of basic dnd. memories :)

Ok, checklist

I think I have answered all of your questions (but could be wrong, be sure to remind me if that is the case)

Tell me when your character sheet is ready.

Have you decided on a starting city, goal and route?

looks like we need to discuss our group plans. i'm good with starting anywhere and heading anywhere. should we go along the coast and head towards greyhawk? or are we headed towards the village of hommlet? I can also start with anyone as well. hommlet sounds cool to me, I actually never went through that adventure, maybe we can find it and start the temple of elemental evil..?

I am perfectly fine with Village of Hommlet to start.  I would not care if we bounced around between modules.

So my vote is Hommlet.  Otherwise I would base out of Greyhawk.

I can see Vandilo being in Hommlet, or in Greyhawk, but for the sake of voting, I choose Hommlet! so it gets a +2

I did find the tomb of horrors on the map.  The original module gave 5-6 possible locations for the tomb.  One of them is the Vast Swamp and that is where it is ( one the map)

In reply to Grimbold (msg # 85):

Just point me in the direction of the adventure and off we go.  Hommlet is fine especially since I know of or actually remember very little of Greyhawk or modules - age and home brewed campaigns do that over time.

Dirk character sheet shold be good to go.



Dirk points to the sun, it is setting soon, whomever is our ranger type, blaze a path out there somewhere, adventure awaits for us.  Lets' be off, my bags are packed and my god yarns for a tall tail of adventure from us, so off we go.



Um, guys, why are we still standing here.



Hello, the little guy down here wants to know why the shadows are moving faster then the group   lol

Oh yeah, Vandilo's sheet is complete.

I think my sheet is complete

Just realized Helethorn still needs equipment (won't be much; sword, bedroll, waterskin and rations, but you wanna be complete). But otherwise he's been done.

is anyone strong enough to carry rope? I can't afford silk rope and cant carry 20 lbs of hemp rope. I can carry a couple of spikes :)
This message was lightly edited by the player at 16:38, Wed 01 May 2019.

STR - 11 (40lbs)

Weight Allowance is the weight (in pounds) a character can carry without being encumbered (encumbrance measures how a character's possessions hamper his movement--see Glossary). These weights are expressed in pounds. A character carrying up to the listed weight can move his full movement rate.

I'm weak!

In reply to Raphim (msg # 90):

Rega has you covered.  She has rope (but no spikes).

awesome, ill pick up some spikes

Grimbold is encumbered just by wearing armor so he brought rope anyways.  Perhaps we can pool money for a donkey/mule

I have 3 Gold, I could rearrange some stuff and pick up a Donkey. I have the skills to handle the Donkey/Mule. Lemme look at what I have so far. I rolled really bad for starting gold.

If I don't buy my Scimitar, I can afford a Donkey! That will just leave me with a Dagger for my weapon. But it might be worth it to have a Donkey. Especially since I have Animal Rapport: Gypsy-Bards are nearly druidical in their ability to associate with animals. They automatically gain the proficiencies of Animal Handling, Animal Lore, Animal Training and Riding (Land-based).
This message was last edited by the player at 21:01, Wed 01 May 2019.

I have enough to buy( it is only 8gp) it but it would be nice if someone went halfies with me.  Gives us a way to meet

I can supply 3 gold towards it. So I can keep my good weapon!

I can try and teach it some tricks too,

I can go in half for the donkey. if I don't buy dry rations I can buy the whole donkey

Sounds like a plan!

One more person and we can just to 2gp each ( which helps Vandilo)

That works, I can supply 2gp, then we can tie our backgrounds to one another, having known one another since the purchasing of our donkey!

Also, it might not be useful now, since its early in the game, but for Animal training. There are two options.

The Standard Method & The Alternative Method

These are both described in the Ranger's Guide. I am just going to assume that we are using the Standard Method, unless told differently. This also might come in handy later if we have time jumps, since animal Training takes time.

In reply to Vandilo (msg # 102):

dirk will be glad something or one is slower then him walking  lol     I am sure Dirk help money wise   for a slight favor - you know help keep him out of trouble or melee

Update, I need to study for test tomorrow. Will get back to you after that.

Ok, so far it seems you are heading Hommlet. From which city on the Wild Coast?

Grimbold, where are you from? I know South of the Wild Coast is the Principality of Ulek, at Havenhill, which is a Dwarven City, The Lortmil mountains also has a few Dwarven Settlements. The Faerie Kingdom of Celene could be where our Elves are from. Rega looks like she is from Elredd, and that is really close to Fax where Vandilo is from.

So it looks like we could all be from somewhere in the Wild Coast, moving north towards Hommlet. Anyone from further south of Elredd would have to travel through both it and Fax, if you wanted to stay along the road. Eventually, unless we traveled all the way to Dyvers, we would have to cut across the Welkwood forest, we could have picked up our Elven Ranger from there. So that could cover Rega, Vandilo, Raphim, and Grimbold. Not sure where Dirk is from.

You said we start in Verbobonc.  It is the first post of The World so Far

Maybe he forgot, but yeah, all being in Verbobonc makes it easy

In reply to Vandilo (msg # 105):

Grombold is from Irondelve which is in Verbobonc.  South of Validia.

Ok, I didn't want to gloss over the travel to Hommlet, but we'll start there then. Give me a little time to get you settled. Meanwhile make sure you have a picture and a description

I have been having a laugh listening to Orcanomics : A Satire. By Zachary Pike.

Anyone else read it?  I highly recommend it.  Anyone who has played enough dungeons runs will get a chuckle as the book combines D&D and fantasy economics.

Update. I'll post the IC thread on Friday. Please wait until then.

Woot!

sounds good :)

In reply to Raphim (msg # 113):

Sounds like a plan - Cannot wait :)

Ok, Mother's Day was busy, tomorrow. I swear

In reply to DM (msg # 115):

Phsute no worries, we will be here ready to go.

Dirk looks side long at his traveling companions wondering who will be the first, the more daring an the one to annoy him the mot.  Chuckles, so who here can err shall we say open tricky locks, scale walls, find those little trigger points to safely open chests or doors.  Chuckles, I am not sure about you all but I am looking forward to some adventure.

I can do those tricks...I specialize in finding traps that hurt the unwary and opening locks that were meant to stay locked.
