Hey all, I wanted to give you a quick heads up while we’re still working on finalizing things - the AP is going to wrap up at level 16, *maybe* 17.  So please don’t plan out a build that only comes together at level 20.  :)

or we convince Chris to homebrew 4 more levels worth of campaign. I am sure there are still dangers left in the world after we complete the AP

If folks want to keep going when we wrap this up in a few years, I’ll figure something out ;-)

Question for everyone on how to handle battle maps.  I am working on roll20 to get maps setup, primarily because it lets me easily manage what is actually visible to everyone through Fog Of War.  My plan was to screenshot the maps and embed them in the forum posts.  Unfortunately I'm running into headaches getting the actual map saved for use.  If I zoom out far enough for the whole thing to be visible, this is what I see:




Is that too zoomed out for everyone, or will that work?  There are some maps later in the AP that are even larger, which may necessitate some additional finagling.  I would prefer to avoid making everyone register for roll20 as well just to get maps to work; I'm also looking into scrolling screencap plugins to see if I can get it to work a bit better.

Thoughts?

That size works, but if it were bigger I wouldn't complain.

Hey Chris, do you want us to indicate/communicate what spells we have prepared each day? Should we update our character sheet each in-game day?

On one hand I'm not sure you should know what spells we've prepped, less it influence your behavior or plans. On the other hand, there should be some accounting so that we can't just cast whatever and claim it was prepared. Thoughts?

Yes please track spells prepared/used each day on your character sheet so there is a record.  I promise to play it straight :)

The map works for me, though larger would be nice if you can figure it out. Let me know if you want me to look into finding a solution.

As a note to everyone - Kemp has taken a Vow of Poverty with Asur.  This means he cannot collect/benefit from any material possessions with any significant value, including magic items.  Instead he gets a bunch of benefits from Saranae to basically balance out most of the defenses and keep him from being instant road-kill before hitting level 3.

However, this doesn't mean the rest of you get a larger cut of the loot.  The overall loot remains  the same, but his share gets allocated towards worthy causes of his choosing.

Also, if any of you need him to cast Restoration or anything, it means you'll need to supply your own diamonds, so keep that in mind :)

Everyone appears to be more or less at a good place to move forward - Is there anything else folks want to do in town before I handle the horse race, cover lunch and the afternoon, and move forward to the consecration ceremony in the evening?
