This is the Out of Character chat thread. Feel free to introduce yourselves, discuss your characters or even just lurk, if you like.

hello everyone.

Barbarian Triton here.

Is that....TWO Tritons?

Uh, I mean, Hi! Izayah's a boring old human ranger! =)

I felt the same way. I normally play a variant human. This time I thought I'd go way outside the box. Then to find another one here. I've never played a game with even ONE triton. lol

we're vastly different though.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. This is the first Triton I've ever played so I was surprised when the Narrator PM'd that there was another one :)

Astros - do you want to PM some background history/links together?

When everybody's character sheet is filled out feel free to jump in Smith's Gambit.

Hi all a warforged adventurer here to travel these new and unexplored lands.

To the newest players who are still working on your character sheets, you are among the same crowd as the players who have already posted in Smith's Gambit. Feel free to discuss what jobs you are interested in taking in the OOC, if you don't want to wait until your characters have been approved.

I will have my sheet done shortly, Am interested in the escort of the mapmaker the others are talking about.

I should mention: If there is something you want to do that isn't on the job board, post here, or PM a DM and we'll be happy to work something out.

Working on the character now. I'm looking at that cartographer job myself

Hi everyone !

I can let four or five of you take the cartographer job. Note the secure the perimeter job, while worth less money, is also safer.

That was my first inclination but then we had only 3 players and I was like welllllll....I should party up maybe.

i need access to my sheet have all the data to fill it up.

Done. Fill away!

Hello all. Variant human fighter here - been a solider his whole life but striving for much more!

Humans: Make up the majority of the world, the minority of PCs.

Looks like we have four on the cartographer job, so I will head for another. The perimeter job is safe, and will let me get some of those sweet pelts!

If I can carry them, the dice gods were not good to my stats.

me either...I have two 7's... even after racial bonus.

That's why I point buy!

My sheet is done but some of the base race features and bonds traits etc which i can add as we go in a little while. Have my stats skills spells etc all done.

So its Khaaven, Astros, Corus, and Izayah for the cartographer's quest?

See a part of a character is their flaws. This guy is much more interesting with a low strength and constitution that he would be otherwise.

Agreed this warlock war-forged has a very low strength and Int, will make him interesting to play as well.

7 Int and a 7 str. Got to love that huh a 7 str guy using a longsword as his primary weapon only safe place is behind him.

I agree... I'm as dumb as a post

Almost makes me want to give up my point buy stats and roll. I have very mixed results when rolling. =)

I rolled a some pretty awesome stats and one pretty awful stat, so my big choice is deciding what gets to be my dump stat.

Also hello everyone, nice to meet you.

Obviously Constitution :P

Hello everyone!

I'll be playing Verbannt, a Bugbear... well I rolled so fantastically poorly on my stats that I'm still working out with the DMs exactly what I'll be playing.  Whatever it is, it will absolutely be from the Zee Bradshaw school of weak-characters-are-better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yjq3ohDAeM

Looking forward to meeting you all.

I love that video.

I'm ready to post, I believe. Just waiting for confirmation in case Im forgetting something <3

So close to getting a reroll with the new rule. Without racial bonuses had +5 and a -4 for a positive +1.

House rules:



The DM gods are kind.

With racial bonuses I was up to a -3.
This message was last edited by the player at 19:53, Wed 18 Dec 2019.

The next question is how did the reroll work out did you get a lot better.

Post divine intervention?

Verbannt is good at what he does.

As is this guy but I still have 2 very bad stats, luckily I have 1 very good stat which I will make sure I use alot in many different ways.

Personally, I just played it safe and went with point buy haha. Jankar doesn’t need much to smash things with his fancy maneuvers. Also interested in the escorting lumberjacks job or patrolling the perimeter.

Point buy is awesome, i'm super glad it was enabled in this game.

I have a suggestion for the Setting thread, my character comes from a distant continent, so maybe that could be included? I don't have specific requirements, so it could be a catch-all for people who wish to say they came from 'elsewhere'...

@Khaaven Intentional roleplay cold shoulder to the Bugbear, or just focusing on one conversation at a time in game?

Had already created and attempted to post my message  said other was posted earlier but posted mine then went to look what was posted. saw had stuff intended for me so got an answer up right away.

@Lukas: Sorry for the aggressive response. Alen is a Ranger and I picked Goblins and Orcs for his favored enemies.

Nothing personal out of character though. Digging your character so far.

Tidelan is probably also going to interject in a jerkish way at some point

ignore him :P

BTW, since we have savvy types who like to read contracts before signing, here's what they are: Amount the job is worth, and conditions for pay (identical to what the NPCs involved have described, or will describe in cases where they haven't yet, we will begin the relevant threads with the full specifics, but feel free to ask) and a waiver of liability stating neither your employer, nor Smith's Gambit Town Government are responsible for what happens to you outside the walls.

@GM:  Did you want to do language groups?  Verbannt would think the two water Genasi are weird Cloud Giantkin, and would respond to them in Giant.

How are we going to learn new spells, only by finding them or is there a source to learn them in this town or buy them. What about possible trades between other characters then. Trying to figure this out before i level up and my spell choices will be much more important in learning new ones or how that is going to work.

[Language unknown: Manisi, Na ons evashe en ngaiacev pe, maek th si ut Istabe Anneec encughion.]

Translation:  Weird, I have access to languages here, but not in the Smith's Gambit thread.

Posted a work around.  If anyone speaks Giant
This message was last edited by the player at 03:25, Thu 19 Dec 2019.

Just changed it. You might wanna check Smith's Gambit again.

In reply to Conspirator (msg # 44):

Oh so they are responsible if I am inside the walls? After all I am an archer :P

In reply to Alen Yaeldrin (msg # 49):

Only if no one else is found at fault including yourself.

Spells are learned as per the rules for each class. Scrolls, for those who can use them, can possibly be found while adventuring, acquired through trade with other players (it is possible to scribe scrolls of spells you know, or even copy entire spellbooks with enough time and money,) or you can have Jessop order them for a fee with downtime.

Oops, the sea is quite close, so my post makes no sense.

My fault!

Sorry, the area nearby is actually mapped out, so its less flexible than the distant lands. I just forgot that none of you have seen the map.

Do we get to see the map?

Made a small edit.

Not quite yet. As you guys explore more of the map will be filled out and eventually put up to see.

Hmmm.... What do you do when the stats you roll completely and utterly undercut the character you want to play? 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 9 doesn't really say 'Capable if on occasion just a pinch over cocky fighter and inspiring leader of men'. It says 'journeyman adventurer who might somehow manage to fumble his way through a full career in the shadow of real heroes if he doesn't take an arrow to the knee'. Suggestions? It's a disservice to the concept to play the character I applied with using those stats. Rules are rules and I'm fine using those stats but I need a new character idea to play them with and the well is dry at the moment. What classes are in abundance and which ones are there few to none of? Aside from monk/barbarian because those classes with these stats would be suicide.

So you feel those stats are not hero material, if that is the case make a support role type of guy for your party. Make a cleric or bard, one designed to allow those he is with to really shine. Could be a possible Noble background, the third or fourth son sent off to the clergy or disowned to become a bard to not bring shame to the family or a daughter who is such that it would be hard to even marry her off for political power plays. Or she was to be married off in such a power play and instead ran away to live her own life however hard and mundane it might be.

Its okay if you need to change your character concept, race, or class, to fit the stats, but keep in mind, stats cap at 20, and Fighters get 7 ability score increases. No matter your class, your primary stat will hit its cap at level 12 if you focus, and you'll have 4 points left, or 2 feats, by 20 (And not hitting the cap really isn't the end of the world.) So even if you start off slow, you can still hit the cap for strength, and have a decent constitution and charisma, while using heavy armor to cover the lack of dexterity. Perhaps play a Dwarf and inspire with your actions rather than your charisma, or if being charismatic and a half-elf is important to you, be a paladin (just don't roll for HP. Take the average, trust me.) You may not hit as often as the 18 strength, reckless attacking Barbarian, but when you do, your enemies will feel it. Hell, maybe you literally went Rogue when you left home. A short sword in each hand means double the chances to get those lovely, ability-score-independent, sneak attack dice.

So anyone interested to guard duty please post a reply so I can see that we have this right.
So far it's:
Alen Yaeldrin, Izayah Hamadrell, Tidelan Wavyrus, Lukas Verbannt.
Please lemme know if you want to join this particular job or want to be taken off this job.

By guard duty you mean perimeter control (the one worth 20 gp, not the 25gp with lumberjacks)? Because that's what I meant to indicate im interested in.

Yes perimeter control.

Izayah is on cartography actually.

Unless I can do both at the same time, then that would be okay. =)
This message was last edited by the player at 17:44, Thu 19 Dec 2019.

Ah ok. I'm afraid the jobs must be done one at a time, but enjoy the mapping trip. That brings us down to
Alen Yaeldrin, Tidelan Wavyrus, Lukas Verbannt.

I am indeed interested in perimeter control.

Quick question for our players. We have two players who want to trade stats one of which has already been in dialogue in the game. Astros has offered to trade stats with Eldrin Delacor. If they do then Astros has expressed a desire to scrap his current character and make a new one. Are there any issues with this?

I mean, switching stats? Whatever, if the GM is okay with it and both players agree, sure. But scrapping a character who tied in with another character to the game and has already agreed to come on a job, etc? Shrug. I mean, I don't like that, but it's more up to the GMs and the player of the other Triton that Astros is tied in to, I guess.

No issues from me. I'd rather have a hand waved "he had to go back home" rather then someone play a character they don't like.

I'm fine keeping my rolls. I just can't play the character I applied with using them. I've come up with a couple ideas since last night for them. A charlatan rogue fleeing a failed scheme and hoping to establish a casino in the settlement. A crazy wild magic sorcerer that lives completely by random chance (makes all his decisions flipping a coin or rolling a di). A celestial warlock recovering from heartbreak looking to rebuild his life in the frontier.

I'll take the swap that was offered to me if it's approved because I'm more excited for the character I originally applied with. I'm fine rolling with what I rolled and one of the above if it's not, though.

Hi.

I just been added, I'm going to be a Triton Silver Draconic Sorcerer - should be nteresting.

Will be rolling up my character tomorrow.

Sorry to slight change what I said previously (not that my opinion is that big a deal lol), it's up to the GMs and the players involved, and whatever will be most fun for everyone. That's the point after all, right? We're all here to have fun. =)

Another new player here. Looking forward to getting involve, though of course things will naturally be slow over the upcoming holiday.

Where should we post transactions for Jessop's?

Just a reminder, we can run more than one patrol group at a time, and guarding lumberjacks is also available (and pays better.)

I've almost finished my sheet.

Once complete, I'll start posting IC and applying for jobs.

Guarding lumberjack does sound fun. Unfortunately I made a homebody type of character.

I was a bit worried about straying too farm from town right away, so I stuck with perimeter control :)

@GMs: How big is the outpost? Ive got an idea in my head, and want to make sure it matches reality.

In reply to Alen Yaeldrin (msg # 78):

Speaking as a new player, who is still working on his character sheet, I am very glad you asked this question.
Moreover, if this plan, whatever it might be, will in some shape, or fashion lead to the improved security of the settlement, then let me know how I might assist in said plan, ASAP.

Cetus has submitted his sheet for approval - unless anything is thrown up, this is his back story:

Triton Silver Silver Draconic Sorceror

I am the 7th soon of a 7th son.

When I was born, all the water close to me turned icy cold. My family is convinced that this event was a harbinger of stranger things to come for me.

Others saw me as being different or strange, and so I had few companions. My immediate family never spoke of my ancestors, and when I asked, they would change the subject. It wasn't until I started displaying strange talents that some hints to my true heritage became apparent, yet still they would avoid telling me.

As I grew older, and my latent abilities began to manifest themselves. When a monster threatened one of my friends, I became filled with anxiety. I lashed out instinctively and blasted the wretched thing with a frigid beam of blue-white light that came from within me.

My family sent me to live among scholars because they felt they could no longer care for me.  There someone saw something special within me, and taught me how to control my natural abilities. However, I struggled with formal education and barely passed my exams.

So - squishy, and not exactly the sharpest pencil in the box either (2 good rolls and 4 poor ones) should make this an interesting character to play.

Not more than a square mile for now, but in time it will grow. As for the guard posts they're an hour away from Smith's Gambit in each corner totaling up to 4 posts.

In reply to Cetus (msg # 80):

One that at first seems lacking, when useing that which they possess judiciously & with vigor, often far surpasses those with far greater natural attributes, which are more indolent.

In reply to Eigon Iseldan (msg # 82):

are you saying I might not be as green as I am cabbage looking?

In reply to The Narrator (msg # 81):

Got ya. I was working with a much smaller scale settlement. I was seeing 1/4 sq mile settlement, in an area of 2.25 miles. So a grid sweep would take only slightly longer then a perimeter check but cover internal space

A grid sweep of the actual territory is do able. Assuming half mile intervals, it would take eight hours to move from one end to another. In case Erret ever sets up internal patrols.

In reply to Cetus (msg # 83):


*sung to the toon I have no strings*

I've got no sight,
So I can't see,
What coloration you happen to be.

Weird that there are so many Triton in this game!

Corus needs a bodyguard right now, but if Astros wants to swap and scrap, it's up to them and the GM. I'll roll/role with it ;)

Luckily the Triton Sea is right nearby, so you're all not too out of place.

Keep in mind, the guard outposts are an bit of a walk from the town itself. They have signal fires that can be lit in case of trouble (they make smoke so they can be seen during the day.) The town is... not very well defended. That's why we want multiple patrol groups.
This message was last edited by the GM at 07:42, Sat 21 Dec 2019.

Are all the patrols following the same route?

It would like of make sense for them to walk the perimeter in opposite directions to me.

Well it was a Triton or a Goliath for me, but the holiday would've been a melee character.

Although there was nothing by against that, I was advised of a lack of casters, do we have a Sorcerer, albeit a weak one.

I figured to have them staggered by a few hours, but since the first group is taking extra time to set traps, you might lap them, so I guess going opposite directions is okay.

Stupid question regarding living expenses...

I've never dealt with them before, so could someone give me a 101 on them.

For example, over spent a night in one of the cots, so I presume I owe a days expenses to Erret.

I'm guessing, based on the description that's 2SP

As per the poor description in the PHB.


When do we pay Erret?

And considering rations are 5sp, and are deducted from expenses according to the rules, do we need to count food separately?

Lastly, if out on a mission that leaves us in the wilderness for multiple days, I presume we only need to consider food?

Okay, your inn stay would also include meals. So if you also purchased food, that could be either food above and beyond that purchased as part of the inn package, or food you have on hand once you go adventuring. The lifestyle part includes your lifestyle when not adventuring.

If it were me, then I'd save the food expense for stuff you need when on the trail. You don't pay lifestyle expenses when not in town. In shadowrun, the first polace I encountered this, the lifestyle was more for when you weren't on missions and delt with  where you lived and such.  Let me know if I need to say more.

I have a question for anyone who might know:

  --> Do the cantrips a 1st level Druid knows count against the number of spells they can prepare each day? Meaning, with a WIS of 16 I could prepare four spells, but only actually two because the cantrps take up two spaces? I know you don't prepare cantrips, but do they still count against the number of spells you can have?

They do not. Cantrips are known, not prepared. They also can't usually be changed out every day like any other 'leveled' spell.

Thank you.

This is a question specificly for the DMs, but I'm posting it here for  others to see and hear, particularly if you have other  players that take the "Guild artisans " background.  Since my character will be paying for his own lodgings and setting up his own shop, would it be all right if he waves the first Guild dues for the first month?

I know, its only 5 gp, but still.

If you are actively practicing  a profession with a guild, you don't pay lifestyle expenses. I'll have to get back to you on what lifestyle that earns you, but it will save you far more than guild dues cost.

This is not, I repeate, not an argument, but... my thoughts, were that for the sake of headaches all around. Eigon will pay for establishing himself, lifestyle expenses, setting up house and shop, and then the  pluses of the guild come into play.  This way at first Eigon will run like everyone else, and then later Guild advantages for membership take hold.

Sound good?

In reply to Eigon Iseldan (msg # 99):

What type of artisan? I'm a leather worker, but even if you aren't I think Alen would be on board to help you establish yourself or work together with you.

Right, your business has to be established before guild benefits kick in. If you are proficient in Survival, you don't have to pay lifestyle expenses while in the wilderness, but if you don't want to carry everything you own with you, you either need a house to keep it in, or pay for a room in the inn (once it is built.) Expenses are paid when you, or your party take a long rest (you can't avoid the expenses by skipping the long rest when the rest of your party is camping.) Just deduct the cost from your purse, this is an abstraction, after all. Lifestyle Expenses cover not only food and lodging, but property and equipment maintenance, keeping quivers and spell component pouches full (you must still own one in the first place, of course,) and other assorted day to day stuff. If you don't need to eat, or have food purchased in advance, you may deduct 5 silver from the cost.

In reply to Conspirator (msg # 101):

So what is the cost of staying in the town hall?  2SP?

Once again you mention costs in the wilderness...



Does this mean that if we were to camp while on a mission, expenses are still deducted?

If yes, at what rate are they set?

Sorry if I'm being thick about this.

Anyone want to take a whild swing at the stats of an OX?

pulling capacity and the like?

Should I consider it the equal of a draft horse in this regard... even though  we all know who can pull more and for longer?

Rules as written?

540 lbs. Carrying Capacity.

1080 lbs. Push, Drag, or Lift.

Oxen are in Volo's Guide.

This is theoretically from Volo's Guide to monsters. If that doesn't work, atats for mule?

Ox
Large beast, unaligned

Armor Class 10
Hit Points 15 (2d10+4)
Speed 30 ft.

STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA
18 (+4) 10 (0) 14 (+2) 2 (-4) 10 (0) 4 (-3)

Challenge 1/4 (50 XP)

Charge. If the ox moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) piercing damage.

Beast of Burden. The oxen is considered to be a Huge animal for the purposes of determining its carrying capacity.


_____________________ Actions _____________________

Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6+4) piercing damage.

Source:Volo's Guide to Monsters

Based on that, an oxen carrying capacity will be 270lb (15×18)

However, this is listed under Draught Horse (equipment) - Draught Horse (Monster) had the same strength as oxen



5×270=1350 lb

Being a large beast doubles the carrying capacity, hence 540.

In reply to Cetus Vostokath (msg # 106):



An ox according to the PhB cost 15 gp.
A horse, draft, costs 40 gp.
Which to you seems like the better barggen?

not to mention ox taste better once they have been killed.

Did someone mention large-creature size carrying capacity?  :3

Hello!  I'm Adalheida, your friendly neighborhood Centaur.  I'll be joining the fun soon enough, so let's all get along and please try not to die too much; I don't have Revivify yet.

Very cool. Nice pic too.

In reply to Adalheida Defthammer (msg # 110):



Oh, splendid, another worker of metals.
A divine worker to complement Eigon's arcane.

Almost finished with the purchasing of gear, and then to add some last finishing touches on my overly long backstory, and I'll be good to go. I might have even accomplished the overly difficult task of finding an avi pict for you all to enjoy.

I obviously won't be enjoying it, but we all know why.

My apologies, missed that


Never suggested it wasn't a better bargain.  In fact I only mentioned that strength was the same.

Based on Lukas' reply, I now note that they are also BOTH large.  But searching doesn't list oxen under equipment like it does for draught horses.

I'm not saying they can't, or shouldn't, be used as such.

In reply to Cetus Vostokath (msg # 113):



I wasn't implying anything, just making idle  chit chat.
:D

Yes, they are still deducted. We are setting the cost at one GP. You may deduct 5sp if you have rations.

In reply to Conspirator (msg # 115):

Thank you for your response.

With regards to cabins etc, you have them listed as Poor, based on the above, should they not be modest?

We considered that, at first. While we're using those descriptions as a guideline, we're looking at it more from the perspective of characters from more "civilized" lands. Life is harder out here, a small single-room log cabin in a wilderness outpost is not on the same social strata as someone in a similar dwelling from the city, nor do they have the same level of comfort or security. Similarly, a noble would need a much larger mansion here, if they don't want to be laughed at by their peers. Also, we're assuming many players will build extra rooms to house crafting equipment, which will raise the capacity, and thus the available lifestyle. As the community grows and becomes richer, safer, and more stable, the base lifestyle will improve, as well. Right now the only thing between you and the assorted denizens of the Rimewood is a palisade wall and a few watchtowers.

Good Afternoon everyone! I will be joining the group as your friendly neighborhood mason and follower of Hyx the god of Hearths, Travelers, Warmth, and Good Cheer.

In reply to Conspirator (msg # 117):

Absolutely fine, and a good reason.

So do you have your own scale of expenses?

I'm presuming by Poor will be the 1GP slot on the list.

I need to update the rules thread for that. Check it out about an hour from now. If you have any other questions for us, there is a thread for it. Hint, hint.

So the way I am reading it, because I have proficiency in survival I can camp outside without rolling for exposure.

I believe that's right. I also am proficient in survival.

Also, i think it basically is a get-out-of-jail-free card wherein you play without lifestyle expenses? Maybe i'm remembering it wrong, it's not something i'm familiar with and my reading comprehension fails me sometimes.

This appears to be homebrew lifestyle expenses.  I'm good.

Added a question to the question thread rather than here as hinted above.

In reply to Tidelan Wavyrus (msg # 123):

To quote the Conspirator from earlier, emphasis mine:


So while you can just rough it on your own via the Survival skill, it means you're taking your supplies and stability into your own hands.  So if you fail the skill check, it might result in consequences?  Plus even if it's just an abstract fluff sort of thing rather than full mechanics, one does have to realize that a person is camping out in a snowy winter environment; that's going to be really uncomfortable and potentially dangerous to endure even without active threats like monsters around.
This message was last edited by the player at 02:48, Tue 24 Dec 2019.

Unless you are resistant to cold, or otherwise acclimated to freezing conditions, proficiency in Survival doesn't remove the check against exposure. It only removes the lifestyle cost. Updated the rules thread to answer that, and Cetus' question.

Hey there,

That's already been covered.

We have a cartographer expedition that is going to be making the maps.  Right now there are none.

Awesome,  guess I missed that. I mean I saw the expedition to make the maps but I didn't see anywhere that showed actual maps.

And for just noticing things... the mule is Sure-Footed, which is a point in its favor.

Happy Christmas and Holidays!

Guard duty thread is available, for those who signed up.

I want to make sure I understand before I post. The town is called Smith's Gambit and currently only consists of Townhall, the threat Smith's Gambit takes place entirely in the Townhall correct?

The thread is currently anything within the town hall, or out in front of it. When we add more buildings within the town, they will get their own threads.

Hello everyone, Dorian Stornward here. I'm looking forward to play with you guys but I have to say that there are no good pictures for one eyed fighters here. I had to go for distance just so others can't see my face.

Hiya! Sorry for your lack of luck. My character actually has silver hair and sea green eyes which you can find in my bio. You'd probably be well off making one and writing that you have one eye, in case it comes up.

It's difficult, I'm not sure if they're accepting submissions ATM - haven't checked - but if you find something suitable elsewhere, you can always suggest it to them.

Alternatively - you could leave the portrait blank and link the image into your posts with:<img src="http:\\www.myimage.jpg">

Just make sure it's small!

I'm supposed to have silvery, slightly scaly, skin

Ha, thanks guys. I'm just gonna stick with my "far away" portrait. At least it also has a horse since I'm aiming to be more of a mounted combatant.
Which will be a first time for me. I usually don't play fighters and I had never to deal with mounted combat (as a DM and as a player)
I'll have to read through all the rules for that.

Is there something else I'm supposed to do to be a part of the perimeter guard? Like is there a thread that's supposed to open up or whatever?

A thread will open up when you have enough people for a group. You need at least 1 more, unless you guys want to leave short-handed.

Ah, okay. Just making sure I wasn't missing something.

Happy new year everyone! Hope everyone had fun and was safe!

Sooooo...?  It's been kinda quiet here lately.  How's everyone doing?

All good here. You?

Just wondering why it's gone quiet as of late.

For the current lumberjack scene - if we can't beat the DC, does that mean we can't make it past the wagons or mules at all?  Or that we can, but that it counts as rough terrain and thus doubles the movement requirement?

My computer is still broken so I'm less active than I'd like to be.

That sucks. Hope your computer gets fixed soon!

In reply to Adalheida Defthammer (msg # 144):

No it means you'll have to go around the cart instead.

I’m on a spontaneous holiday in Japan... so there are too many sights to see to post a lot.
I should be back on Wednesday (though my group is a little slow to post atm)

Hiya, I'm the new high elf wizard in town and theirs alot of players here.

Indeed. Welcome! Take a look at the job board, and you'll see that we currently need people to fill a perimeter patrol group. Alternatively, you can gather a party for independent exploration, or pelt hunting. You can also post in the Smith's Gambit thread while you wait for a party to gather.

I see, I think I'll pick group 2 of the perimeter patrol group.

I'm am the new spoiled little rich boy in town. Over educated, too.

Group 2 is full, we can start a group 3, though.

Okay, guess I'll be the first one on group 3.

Greetings and Belated Happy New Year everyone.

I look forward to gaming with you all.

Greetings everyone!

Your friendly neighborhood goblin rogue has arrived.

Looking forward to building Smith’s Gambit with you all. :)

Great to have you

*Grunt of Greeting*

Welcome all!

Welcome, welcome!

Welcome!

Howdy
What level do we begin at? 1 is fine, I just don’t want to gip myself.

Level 1

Welcome.

As I believe we've mentioned in the rules thread, time runs separately for each thread. This means sometimes, you may technically leave on a new job before you get back from your last one. Try not to think about it too much.

Really?

Didn't think we'd would be on 2 jobs at once!?

How does that function in terms of tracking abilities that recharge on a Long Rest?  Do we just reset at the start of each new job activity so we're always going into each new encounter fully loaded?

Just to clarify, I get that times runs separately for each thread, we're praying at different rates so it's going to.

Were not making days of the week, so what day it actually is is immaterial.

But I still don't get how we can be on 2 jobs at once.

Maybe the land is in a time paradox or maybe their are doppelgangers disguise as you. But that's just a theory.

Time is an illusion. Nothing is real.

You, as players, can each only be in one job at a time. Your character can start whatever jobs are available as soon as they return from the previous one, even if it means backing up the clock from their perspective. You still have to take a long rest after 16 total combined hours of adventuring or downtime activity, (though when traveling outside the perimeter, you only get to travel for 8 hours before risking exhaustion. The rest is at camp, hunting, gathering water, etc.) So you can take two 8-hour shifts of patrolling, or 8 hours of lumberjack guarding and 8 hours of patrolling, etc. Either way, you always arrive in Smith's Gambit in time to join whatever jobs are currently recruiting.

Thus, even though the lumberjack guard job ended a few hours late, its members are eligible to begin a 2nd shift patrol job (but they will need to roll against exhaustion near the end of the shift.)

They could choose to take a long rest now, instead, but then they will be in the back of the line when it comes to queuing up for new quests.

Or they could use downtime for crafting, then take their long rest (as crafting and resting are allowed some overlap.) They will still be put at the back of the line, but they still might get into a second shift job even though it should be tomorrow from their perspective! Like I said, just try not to think about it too much!

So to confirm Odilon, though he just came from Protecting the L Jacks, is good to join another job immediately?

Thanks,

Yes, I've already added Odilon and Xannan to perimeter patrol 3, in fact.

Ha, one more point of damage and I would have been instagibbed.

Level 1, level 1!

I find the inherent fragility of level 1 characters incredibly satisfying.  I don't know why.

In reply to Lukas Verbannt (msg # 174):

Really helps keep a player grounded and humble, right?  So many higher-level battles basically turn into a string of math for damage output, but low-level play in 5e really has that gritty "no plot armor, you may die at any moment" feel to it.

Hello everyone.  Just wanted to introduce myself

Hey, nice to meet you

Luckily, spider venom is non-lethal, Verbannt.

I'm not dead yet!

In reply to Conspirator (msg # 171):

I don’t suppose there are any clown jobs?

Fraid not, your name sounds familiar, I think I met you in a Saltmarsh game once. I played as the captain.

Cooool. Yea this is a very different version, more Buggs Bunny, less Norman Schwarzkopf.

Huh neat, interested in seeing a more humorous version of the character, wellll good luck and hope to have a good game with you matey.

I'm totally with you Lukas, this spider fight is intense!

I wasn't sure how to know what was hitting it, but everyone else seemed to (?) so I googled giant spider to see it's armor class. Tidelan still doesn't know any of it's abilities he hasn't personally seen, though.

Interestingly enough, this fight would be enough for us to level, if my math isn't stupid :)

Also greetings to all the new players I haven't welcomed yet, I haven't talked here much yet (mostly because my computer issues give me very limited ability to post)

Hello everyone! Thought i'd drop a line and introduce myself. I'm still working out the finer details of my character sheet but i look forward to joining ya'll on adventures soon enough.

We all float down here....

I mean welcome.

I fucking love this, bravo.

Oh thanks . :)

To those who responded to the signal fire, please check that thread one last time, even if you already left it.

Woo, stuffs.

Thanks DM type peoples.

Such tenderness from the centaur towards the bugbear.

Wonder what you would call their offspring?  BugSaurs?

A) I'm not sure that's appropriate.
B) They would clearly be called Centbears. lol

When did appropriate come into it?

Just so it is clear for anyone who is leveling, you are welcome to take the average Hp gain for your class instead of actually rolling, but if you do roll then you must keep it.

Awesome!

Just to make sure, our group hasn't leveled yet, right?

I'm 37 XP shy.

I believe only Adelheida, Xannan and Odilon have leveled so far. Patrol group 1 should level soon though.

Well, NOW more people will level with that generous DM contribution! Thank you!

I assume we have to take a long rest to level up?

Thank you GM team.

Ah man, I'm just short of a hundred exp to level 2, hopefully we get to some exp soon

Well now I'm not.

We'll get there En.

If you are currently on a job then a long rest will be required to level. If you are not then you may level right away.

Good morning, just finishing up my sheet and getting ready.

I checked the rules thread but I'm still unsure how taking long rests work and I'd just like to clarify?

Thanks. I actually meant how they work for this game? Can we just take them as soon as we are in town, and they immediately happen?

Also, after looking at the rules am i correct in believing that the minimum lifestyle to avoid exhaustion rolls is 1 gold piece to get a cot at the inn (ignoring the social disgrace of doing so)

You may take a long rest any time you are not on a job, as long as you can pay the lifestyle cost. When on a job, you are limited to one long rest per 24 hour period. A cot in the town hall is indeed 1gp.

Thank you :)

Folks, don't be afraid to ask OOC for volunteers to join you on quests here, or IC in Smith's Gambit.

My dad is in the hospital so im not sure regular i'll post the next few days.

Best wishes to your father, take care!

Take care of yourself and your family. We understand

Hope he gets better soon. Take care and be safe. We get it too. All the well wishes from both of us.

I am suspecting that the intrepid Duo will be returning, is there anyone waiting/looking for a group?

Alban may need a patrol group in the morning.  Otherwise he may start building his house or go out  the lumberjacks to gather more lumber in the morning depending on Jessop's response in the trading post thread.

What were you planning on doing in the morning Anreyela?

If we can dig up a 4th the perimeter, if not we will hunt whatever we can find 3 hours out.

I would be interested in explorer or patrol the perimeter with you, Anreyela.  I have to warn you though.  My character is a rock gnome wizard and not much of a front line fighter if we get into trouble.

smart play and tactics we can win and besides we have the best bard Azu.

lol.

This might be a bit random but ive been wondering about this:

There is a player in the cast list who logs in every day but hasnt posted yet... who is Prina Warhook?

Badass Female Half-Orc Executioner for when you step out of line.

...no, I have no idea, lol. =P

Hey guys, naive monk kenku coming in from the Rimewood. Just submitted my character sheet for approval.

Are there people still waiting to go out for patrol or hunting?

Yes we are looking for one more

Alban and Hoot ready to join up and see Erret about the Perimeter?

We need to change our name, “The Intreped Quatet of Legend”

In reply to Azucondie (msg # 226):

motion accepted, voice vote, all opposed *cricktets*

all for *cheers*

Motion passed.

Alban's ready. I'll post in the smith gambit thread now.

By the way if anyone is interested in trading arcane spells as a downtime activity Alban would be interested, so seek him out.

PM @Hoot.

Hoot lived in the Rimewood by himself, and he hasn't heard Common in a while. That changed when he lurked around Smith's Gambit for the past while.

Since Kenku can't make up their own words, I've been having him copy phrases from the Smith's Gambit thread from characters that were speaking more loudly which Hoot could possibly have overheard. I'm using the colors from the original speaker, so a different color implies a different copied voice.

As the game progresses, I'll pull more from conversations Hoot has actually been a part of. If you see Hoot repeating something you don't think he could have heard, you can PM me and I'll edit that out.

How does leveling up work? Do we just automatically go up once we have the XP? Because if so, I need to start figuring out what school I'm going to take.

You have to take a long rest to level.

Is Whale more or less than 10’ from water?

Less than 10 feet.

Wait there is a whale?!?!?

oops i think Azu meant to post that in our OOC not the general one.

but yes there is a  whale.

Holy Crap!

Epic whale time

Yep, we might be gone a whale....

Whale I hope you have a good time and come back Healthy and Whalethy ;)

God! These jokes are over-whale-ming. ;p

Good one Enialis! You are a whale-spring of creativity!

Stop blubbering on.  If you don't quit you'll get a humpback.  And please don't get overly excited we don't need any sp...  All over.  OK?

Whew! You are really baleen us out here ;)

It's a dangerous world we live in, one might even say cruwhale!

<lights a match and raises an eyebrow> I'll burn this place down.... LOL!

Well, whale oil *IS* flammable ;)

perfume is made from whale vomit

That doesn't sound like it's good for your health and whaleness.

I wrote that Tidelan is staying in the wilds for the night, IIRC there is a random encounter chance.

Whenever a GM has time, because he is staying there until something happens.

Do you mean to say you're staying there for however long it takes to get a random encounter?

This ought to be an interesting ruling ..

Yep. If you think that might be too time consuming since it's for a single player, I won't be offended.

Either way, I'm new to sandbox dnd so im not sure whats possible

I know in usual adventure and intrigue, you generally keep a party together except for short separations and very rarely continue to rp the story of an individial once they leave for good

In a sandbox there isnt any  absolute groups and so i dont know if going at it solo is feasible

The thing is either you sit around for a long time hoping for that chance encounter and it'll take a certain amount of time between rolls because there's no real roleplaying outside of:"I throw some more wood on the fire while I wait .. ".

Or you get an instant encounter because other than wasting everyone's time why wait until said encounter if that's all you do.
But then everyone is going to wait in the woods for an instant encounter.
Because easy fast xp.

That's the problem i'm foreseeing :).

We don't mind. Its more dangerous, though. We don't scale encounters based on party size, so if the encounter gets the jump on you, you're screwed. Though encounters close to the settlement are safe enough for a level 1 party, so if you're already higher level, you're a bit safer.

Keep in mind, I'm only going to roll encounters for any solo players a certain number of times per real-life day. So don't expect to get in a fight instantly.

For those looking for something to do, shit is going down in Smith's Gambit.

Job on the job board, job on the job board!

I am literally still on the same first job I took when I started this game, lol.

Same here ;p

Urgh accidentally removed the game from my game list .. but i found it again.

Sorry guys, I've been inactive for quite a while (since my patrol for back), I'm afraid to say that other stuff has intervened.

I can no longer continue in this game - sorry.

But you made a new friend! <3

Sorry to hear that, Cetus. Feel free to return in the future!

Need more people to scout the Red Foots!

In reply to Lukas Verbannt (msg # 268):

Let’s just ambush some and interrogate the survivors...

Hi everyone!

New player here, looking forward to exploring the Rimewood with you all.

Welcome! We have two excellent GMs and very talented players in this game

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do

For anyone who's waiting on construction, PM me a description of the building, the number of rooms, any amenities you need, and the total cost, and I'll get on having those threads made.

Dont forget patrol 4 boss.

I was waiting on Anreyela. Hadn't realized she hadn't posted in so long.

Not waiting on me I was waiting for new round to start

Sorry I didn't see new round posted will have it up now

No worries. Sai killed it, anyway.

This game is so cool!

Also, this might be written somewhere, but if a character dies, can we introduce a new character of the same level (without any XP, i assume) or do we have to start ALL over at level 1? Do we just lose 1 level? If so, how does that affect level 2 characters, who would be sent back to level 1?

Just wondering... I like this character but I'm probably going to play him like the ultimate safety-nut if I lose all progress when he dies.

Same level, but xp resets to the minimum for that level.

Hey, do we need to make a special post or something to start the “stealth” mission? I’m not sure if people would appreciate it if I suddenly wrote “next morning...”

I was kind of waiting for the mission to start, so I wouldn't mind...

But, i assume the GM will be the one to give us that 'start post' whenever they're ready to begin it.

Spark is ready as long as Erret doesn't need anything else from him as far as construction goes.

>.>
<.<

I'll get right on that...

Okay, if you signed up for the scouting party and can't see the new thread, or didn't sign up but can, let me know.

Thanks and sorry if I pressured anyone. I know from personal experience how the GM can forget small details like these :D

No worries. I appreciate the reminder.

Sai, please take that last as played for humor, the pot calling the kettle black obliviously. OK?

What does that mean? I don't get the joke.

I don't know what the original joke was, but "pot calling the kettle black", is a turn of phrase, where a comment made by the speaker applies to that speaker equally. A similar turn of phrase is "what's good for the goose, is good for the gander."

Ah, okay, I'm beginning to understand some of it now.

darn now im curious :)

for the non English speakers

I would define "pot calling the kettle black" as a 'verbal' jab which is also self deprecating.

I would define "what's good for the goose, is good for the gander."  is more about some 'action' which is done by another which should apply both ways.

While I was originally going to make my character a Blacksmith, if there are already blacksmiths  present,then I will gladly alter his profession: thank you, that is all.

In reply to Azucondie (msg # 286):

Of course! I'm enjoying the back-and-forth, and you're playing your character really well, in my opinion!

There are a few blacksmiths, a few alchemists, a few leatherworkers, a stonemason, I believe, can anyone else help me out here?

Also, glad you could make it back, Eigon!

I sing and dance like Azu, but shes better.

I’m a dancer...

still better than me :-)

Alban’s an alchemist and wizard

We’re the dancers...

In reply to Conspirator (msg # 294):



As courteous, as you are helpful: as always my thanks.

I might be missing something in the Player's handbook, so I'm going to ask. It seems as though intelligence doesn't directly tie into languages learned, so while having extra points in there would be good for my character, it won't grant him extra languages correct?

Secondly, and this is more to the DMs, although if someone else has asked this, feel free to point this out, since my background grants me a secondary language, can I drop that and replace it with another skill? If I've broken any elements of proper decorum  by asking these questions here, my apologies, but this seemed  the best place to ask, since if anyone else already has answers they can chime in.

As always I thank you all for your time.

@Eigon

Correct, intelligence in 5th edition does not give you extra languages like it did in 3rd.

Also, backgrounds give two skills, and then some combination of languages and tool proficiencies.

Dropping a language for a tool proficiency is often a-ok (check with the DM, your mileage may vary), dropping a language for a third skill is not.
This message was last edited by the player at 02:04, Thu 12 Mar 2020.

Lukas is correct. As for swapping background languages or tool proficiencies: only if your race, class or background give you multiples of the same proficiency. However, you can still only swap a skill for a skill.

So, need some clarification. Odilon just completed a job and has built up some downtime (I keep forgetting to add the extra DT *sad face*) does he have to use that to take a long rest if he wants to regain his spell slots before signing up for another job? If so he has to pay something to stay at the inn?

Thanks!

(  Just like Odilon asked :  )

It's probably been explained elsewhere (sorry...) but how does "one unit of downtime" work ?
Is this enough time to have a long rest before checking out the job board again ?

As far as I understand it, downtime is not required for resting.  It can be "spent" between jobs to craft, work, learn new things, etc.

One downtime unit represents 8 hours of work, so a long rest (and subsequent cost of living) is needed for every 16 hours (two units of downtime) of doing something—adventuring or using downtime.  I think.

I don't have Xanathar's guide, so what I'm about to ask might be listed in there, but I can't find this in the player's guide or in the DMG, so here comes my question: what is the price of woolen thread? I could give prices on this for previous versions, well, first and second for sure, but since some prices are different from second and 3.5, I'm asking: thanks.

Wait spending downtime requires a long rest?

That.. would actually make sense. Erm, i didn't do that and spent 10 then 3 downtime units... i've long rested twice with this character... does this mean I get up to 5+ levels of exhaustion and die retroactively? Because I don't have money to pay for the Inn retroactively, nor did I at the time...?

As for the price of wool thread, i can't find it in the phb either but i googled it and found a supplemental homebrew page that puts 1 lb of wool at 2 silver pieces. I don't really understand how copyright works (or if that website might infringe on it) or if that website has inappropriate content on it, so I won't link the page.

It seems like a good ballpark guess to me, though. Also it says 50 gp could buy 170 fleeces of wool , and a fleece is 1.5 lbs worth 3sp.

I don't know what the cost of thread would be though

We won't kill you retroactively. Just reset your materials, potions, and downtime to what it was before you ran out of money.

As for wool thread, unless you are buying huge quantities, the cost is negligible. What do you need it for?

In reply to Conspirator (msg # 309):


This is a case of me asking the question early, and we could easily say wool is the same as canvas per yard, but making anything out of cloth is easier if one has thread with which to do it with, and animal hair doesn't make for the best thread, when compared to wool or cotton. Obviously cotton per yard in material, from which thread can be easily enough extracted is listed, but wool is not. So if one wanted to make a blanket, a seat cushion, a wall hanging, or any of a number of cloth objects, the lacking of the most common thread type - - in a medieval European Milieu - - the presence of wool in some form, square yard, or thread would be useful. In first edition a yard of wool was 8 cp, but cotton, as listed is more expensive than it is in 5th edition.

As long as you have enough cloth or leather, we will assume you have enough thread, as well.

Understood.

Unfortunately you can expect other questions like this from me, because I'm one of those that rather get permission than ask forgiveness, as the saying goes.

Anyone else chillin' @ home because area's under quarantine?

perfect dnd time if you ask me ;p

I just got a new computer after my old one was fried, just in time to get quarantined at home. Here I am! Haha. Gotta get the D&D out now, as much as possible. :P

In reply to Tidelan Wavyrus (msg # 313):



I'll be checking on neighbors later to make sure they have everything, since I'm well stocked up, and you know how the stores are. So if they need stuff, odds are good I have it on hand, or something like it.  I'll have to go back to work this evening, because I do data analysis and entry and our office is still open.

In reply to Eigon Iseldan (msg # 315):

That's real kind of you :)

Stay safe!

I second that.  Everyone stay safe!

Hey, I could do the scouting job you just offered. I'm quite available right now.

Hi all, new player here looking forward to some neat adventures.
Definitely up to get into the action if anyone is putting together a party for a job.

Welcome Thorton, enjoy your time here! I think there is a job opening from what I've seen in public threads... if not, you can always adventure on your own!

Hi...

Unfortunately I'm not going to coming back anytime soon...

Could you please remove me from this game so I stop getting alerts?

Many thanks.

Sorry to hear that. Consider it done.

Okay, Jankar and his party can post in the "Scout a Watchtower Location" thread to start that job.

Besides the super-awesome-amazing-hilarious-magnificent-intreped-hagslaying-quintet-of-destiny, and Kriv, is there anyone else available to go out on a patrol? If not, does anyone object to us creating some level 1 npc's to fill the roster?

Who all are part of that quintet? I'm new to this gang :)

I applaud the many adjectives. The more the better.

The super amazing death-defying whale-pushing eclectic quintet of destiny is a patrol group consisting of Alban, Anreyela, Azu, Hoot, and Sai, and we're also the people beside you at Smith's Gambit (although Azu hasn't posted yet). The name has existed for one day game-time lol. I think Azu came up with it, and it's fun so it stuck.

In reply to Hoot (msg # 326):

Well, I like all the adjectives, Azu's got style. So, we six are all gonna go on patrol? Or how does it work?

Once enough have signed up in Smith's Gambit you get added to another thread for the patrol. Patrols are designed for 4-5 players, with no more than 5. So we're going to have to split, although we haven't decided how. We're also trying to figure out some aftermath of what happened with our last patrol.

Hi all, just finalising char gen and hoping to begin in the game pretty soon. Looks like fun!

Greetings! Hope you have fun :)

Welcome!

In reply to Azucondie (msg # 339):

Lol!

Quick question to magic users in this game. Are the GMs strict on spell components, I.e. do I need to have the required materials to cast the spells? Some GMS ignore them, others are strict. This will help me decide on my final spell choices.

Thanks

Yes and no.

You do have to buy spell components for anything not covered by a component pouch, but the general store sells them.

Smith's Gambit is where you'll want to start out. Welcome!

In reply to Sai Nightbreeze (msg # 345):

Thanks!

Hi all, just checking all is well.

In reply to Elisar Moonraven (msg # 347):

As far as i know.

it's going ok.

I was sick for a day, so now my mom said I can't make food or pet my cat (among other precautions) for two weeks. I also have to wear an annoying mask if I'm near her or my brother

It was probably just a cold, but she wants to make sure I don't spread anything I might have.

Besides that, it's hard to get any good food, and we don't have as much as usual, so we're rationing a little, not too bad.

Also, school is back, but it's really hard to work from home, and I'm super confused and got used to playing on the computer all day.



TLDR we're healthy but not happy :shrug:

I'm doing fine, no sickness here

I have a minor ear infection, but otherwise I'm healthy. Been working from home for a couple weeks now, I feel blessed to still have a job in a time when so many people don't. Our stores were running low on things for a minute there, but when we went to get groceries yesterday they were pretty well stocked.

Happy Easter everyone!

In reply to Alban (msg # 353):

And to you!

Sorry, I'm from Faerun and I'm not familiar with any 'easter'? Could anybody in this arcanist's messaging dodecahedron explain?

Hello all! Sihveri, a Wood Elf Life Cleric will be joining you soon (need to finish up his char sheet).

Greetings! Enjoy your time here, there's a whole splattering of different characters to play off of :)

Welcome!

Welcome!

In reply to Sihveri (msg # 356):

Welcome, I have only just joined myself!

Just finished his character sheet and waiting for approval.

What comes next?

This is a sandbox game, so it's kind of what you make of it... and also if there are any quests available :P

My suggestion to start is to post in Smith's Gambit about your character's arrival. If you don't find anything to do in the quest board or around town, and get bored, you can always venture out on your own (I tried it, it's dangerous but rewarding). The GMs are pretty good at taking care of all threads equally, from the ones I have seen or been in.

Anyone Level 2+ interested in partnering up for the mysterious anonymous note quest?

In reply to Izayah Hamadrell (msg # 363):

Not for me quite yet. I need time for Elisa to settle in and get a bit bored first!

We heartily encourage any PCs who are between jobs to interact at the inn, or in the homes of any PCs who wish to host company!

Not that there's anything wrong with players talking here... its what this thread is for, after all!

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. New in town, I will be playing a wizard investigator named Józek!
