Welcome !

I have not officially started the game but thought maybe for those motivated enough to contact me I should get some chat going.

I’m going to look for about 5 players, and see how it goes.

Hello everyone,
For right now I have added everyone using their RPOL name.
The first step lets have a little chat about any expectations.
I would like to get out of way any questions you may have and talk basic stuff.

Then we can start character creations, ..........

Looking for input on what modules would you like to play?
I think it would be cool to Play the first ever printed.

In Search of the Unknown

Wow, that was quick.

I think only 5 minutes passed between my RTJ and your post declaring everyone had beed added. Nice timing, sir.

I shall now go ahead and ruin roll my stats. =D

In reply to MrKinister (msg # 5):

Well I'm self quarantined almost, ....
Plus this is my late check in before going to bed.

In reply to Caladin (msg # 4):

I've never played any official modules, but looking at a blurb for it online "In Search of the Unknown" sounds pretty interesting.

Hi fellas :)

I'm happy to be starting at the 1st ever module. Sounds a great place to start!

I'm curious, I do have the red books, but the classes only go to level 3. Does that mean that this campaign is itself capped at level 3, or would it progress to other books for levels 4+?

Last thing before I goto sleep, ....
If you need any information on character creation let me know. I can post in the thread for everyone to use and share. We will be sticking to the books regarding most things, and almost no homebrew rules or special anything. this will keep everything as fair as possible.

Thanks

Right, the second book is "Expert" the Blue Book. lol
That goes up to 10th level if my memory is right.

That's great news :)

Cal, I guess we can go ahead and roll up our stats now, so we can discuss what we want to take with them?

In reply to Basolek (msg # 11):

OK, moving faster then I thought it would :), BUT sure, ...

Players have their sheets open for edits and can roll for characters.

I've done mine and got

11,10,9,13,8,10

So perhaps a thief might be best suited :D

Damnation lol. You had better change your creation post Cal. Thought I had an awesome Elf set of numbers.

So I have 13,12,8,9,9,18

In reply to Basolek (msg # 15):

It doesn't say that already,  .... hey if I messed it up I will stick to my word.
This message was last edited by the GM at 03:05, Tue 17 Mar 2020.

Ok, 8s to 9s.

I am posting a formal notice of dropping my CHA 15 to 9 in order to raise my INT 13 to 16. Guess what class I am playing? =D

Gone deleted you are right I did post re-roll.
All good guy keep it going.

A little late here in NYC, and its been a hell of a day at work.

So wait just to confirm, we are rerolling under-8? woot!

Sorry guy its re-roll, my bad.

You guys are fast, and its exciting.
I will update names as I see them on your sheets or as you post them.

I have a request, I rolled 3 for my gold. Can I reroll that?

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 22):

If all the players will agree to a standard I have no issues.

So I've ended up with:

13,12,8,14,9,18

I can go almost anything with those stats except a cleric. Might wait and see what everyone else is taking before landing on something I guess.

Is CHA:18 actually useful? Or is it only really useful to lower to 10 to give me 4pts somewhere else? Morale adjustment doesn't sound all that sexy?

Hows this, ... try to make it work with what you have, and players can also lead/give their extra money up to another player if they like.

I am ok with that.

LOL well if we were doing AD&D i would say Paladin.

BUT, unless you plan to rule a kingdom at 14th level.
Not sure.

Good Night, see you at sunrise :)

I'll kick in.  Besides, if we start off broke as a joke, it'll make the treasure we find all the more sweeter!

I'm leaning toward dwarf, let's call him Salochin.

Well, thank you. But it appears that as a Wizard, I won't need to have armor or shields for him, and he can only use a potato peeler at level 1 anyway. =)

I'll grab the basics in equipment and be done with things. xD
This message was last edited by the player at 19:16, Tue 17 Mar 2020.

^^ I'll use the un-donated coin to buy good armor, then.  :)

Someone has to get in front of the squishy wizard!

So I'm just looking at these rules and as far as I can tell, a cleric having WIS:10 is no different to a cleric having WIS:18, at least with respect to his spellcasting. Have I got that right?

If so, then I think I'm able to take any class with my stats, so I might wait and see what Winter wants to take, then try and fill a hole with my character choice :)

So FYI we have two players that are pretty much ready to go.
I will start IC once everyone is ready.

Ready means sheets, etc.
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:37, Tue 17 Mar 2020.

FYI

IC has strated  and one by one you will be added for intros.

So I did some reading. I did not know the official world was not Oerth
So I made some changes and will post more info as I find it.

Are you talking about Mystara and the Duchy of Karameikos?

Edit: Oh, I see. You ARE talking about them!
This message was last edited by the player at 03:13, Wed 18 Mar 2020.

Just checking as I can't find anything about it, if we fire into melee in this edition and miss, it doesn't hit somebody else does it?

As it turns out, looks like I will be drawing up a cleric :)

The Vaults of Pandius is a pretty good resource for all things Mystara.

http://pandius.com

In reply to Salochin (msg # 37):

Yes I found that PDF online.
I am reading it now

Str: 12 -2 = 10
Int: 10
Wis: 14 +1 + 1 = 16
Dex: 10
Con: 13 (-2 = 11)
Cha: 9

Looks like I’m a cleric. :)

Nice! Welcome to the team, Mr. Band-Aid. =)

Hey rethink your stats. There is small gains on such a high wis.  In basic 14 is pretty good, might think about str. or dex. for fighting. Or even con. For more hit points.

You can only increase your prime requisite stat(s). I think :)
This message was last edited by the player at 03:01, Thu 19 Mar 2020.

I should leave it unadjusted then?

Str: 12
Int: 10
Wis: 14
Dex: 10
Con: 13
Cha: 9

Here is what the book says about adjusting stats.

Wow thanks for that Salochin, that makes a difference to half the team, at least. No change to CHA, yikes. Guess I'm the face man lol.

So I have been searching for information on where on the world map this adventure takes place.
And so far I have struck out. If anyone has a link to share or ideas please let me know.

What I do know its in the area of the B1 Keep of the Borderlands. But that's about all the info I have.


Regarding the B1 Keep of the Borderlands - I too have not found a map that shows where on Mystara this lines all up.

On a separate note, I know the world is crazy these days.
I just want to remind everyone that the goal is to log-in and post daily.
This means in chat, in IC or PM - something to show me your active.

Just logging is not going to make this game as great as it can be. :)

best regards and be safe.

http://pandius.com/mdlplace.html

Oh crap. That means I have to return my Cha to 15 and drop my INT back to 13. He'll still make  for a good wizard, but now's he'll be likeable. Hmm... change of plans on his personality, then.

I know right. I had CHA:18 and was going to put it everywhere, but had to rewind lol.

The group looks really well balanced so I thought I'd take an Elf, which has a bit of everything, to maintain that balance :)

Funny! Look at us complaining our Cha is too high! =)

"Boo hoo! My character is a charming, lovable fellow now! What a waste of STR/INT/DEX!"

LOL!

Don’t forget you Character Descriptions, this info does not need to be region specific but an idea of the personality, morals and why they are the way they are is needed if you want good quality Roleplaying and the quests and adventures to be more than just a treasure hunt.

With all that high CHA we are going to be the best looking, best behaved, and most eloquent group of adventurers that has ever died at 1st level! xD

So...

*crickets, crickets*

How's everyone else doing today?

Comfortably sitting at home and watching Netflix?

I, for one, have agreed to join a Shadowrun game, so I will cracking open my 20th Anniversary book and learn the rules.

I'm here.  Just waiting to begin.

I think the in character thread "The Search Begins" is open to everyone.

Just go ahead post according to instructions. I am sure we'll meet. =)

No such luck, D.  You guys are playing in a private thread.

Oh!!!

Well darnit!

I had no idea.

Guess we have to wait until we are officially introduced. =)

Maybe I'm in quarantine?  :)

Torus the faithful
Class: Cleric
Level: 1
HP: 6
AC: 4
Align: Lawful Good

Str: 12
Int: 10
Wis: 14
Dex: 10
Con: 13
Cha: 9

Weapons: Mace (5 gp), Sling-30 stones (2 gp)

Armor: Chainmail (40 gp), Shield (10 gp)

Holy Symbol, 25
Sack, small 1
Wine Skin: 1
Standard rations (1 week): 5

Total: 89 gp

I think you want to put this in your character sheet.

As soon as the thread is opened to us I'm ready to go.

I have just read Feanor's description and he has a new title: Feanor the Vain. =)

No, that description was written by a third party so he's not vain. He's just really, really beautiful.

Delightful! =)

So FYI
I made today Apocalypse day and focus on my wife.
This virus thing has us on edge and so we have been drinking early and focus on each other.
Tomorrow I will post, be safe and happy.

Ok, cool.

Personally, I don't think there is much to worry about. The only people who have been at risk so far are those who are already ill or weakened. That's mostly elderly or sick people.

The mortality rate is about 2% (and that's with ill old and sick). Which means if you do get infected, you have a 98% chance to make it. That's a good save! =)

Heck, most people only have very minor symptoms and they don't even feel it.

And the media is just crazy, but they sell more papers when people are scared.

Stay clean! It's all going to be fine in a few weeks time. =)

Assuming a policy-lite approach, 80% of the population gets it and that's still about 6 million dead in the US alone. Not to mention that the mortality rate is assuming due care, but with only 900,000 beds a bump in the curve will put millions of very ill people back into their homes to try and tough it out.

I hope you're right, and it is possible that it wont be all that bad, but the downside is much worse than you think.

This may sound silly, but the body's immune response is lowered under fear, sadness, and stress (anger + fear).

So, if you want to increase your chances to stay well, keep a positive mindset and laugh a lot.

It will help a ton! =)

Hi Everyone

So just an FYI
I live in mid-town NYC. And things here are crazy, BUT also very quite.
My position is on the Essential List of workers.
I am a building engineer, and responsible to make sure these massive hi-raises stay working.

A/C, water, heat etc etc..... so I will have some free time. Thankfully I am not sick nor exposed yet so I am working. And I hope everyone will be safe and stay happy in these interesting times.

LMAO, so then we should all go after these news people for doing this :)
That's just a bad joke, I'm in the worst place to be in this mess and hope it goes away soon.

Yes! Exactly! The media is crazy. Do not listen to the fear mongering and apocalyptic interpretations. Stay upbeat and listen to good music. While you may not be able to do much about how others manage themselves, you certainly have power over how you manage your own mental and emotional space.

Be a beacon of light in fearful times! =)

We, I have a very large spirit collect (ie. Wines and liqueur)
So I have been self medicating daily. lol

Monday was Miller Lite
Tuesday was a single shoot of GOT single malt
Wednesday a lot more GOT scotch
Thursday finished the GOT and move to some MACALLAN, Good stuff!, ...
- That was already on its last two glasses
Move to some tequila, some high end stuff, good enough to drink straight up and on the rocks.
Yesterday I did some Chives Regal - been some time since I drank this one, almost forgot what it tasted like.

SO whats for today ?? not sure but if I am going too, may give it a rest, .....

Somehow, somewhere, I know someone can make song lyrics out of that week. =)

"A little bit of wine on Monday night,
 a little bit of Single Malt next night,
 a little more of GOT on Wednesday,
 a little of Macallan the next day."

Apologies to Lou Bega and his Mambo #5 interpretation. =)

Salochin you have been added please post in IC when ready.
Those in IC please keep posting, ....

Will do.  :)

FYI,

I sent PM mto Kron Wroghsenn if I don't get a reply in about two days I will have to drop him.
I have two players that have asked to join us. BUT I may wait until we do more in the adventre before adding to the group.

When your group is all set I would like you to name it.
Like "The Fellowship" or "A Brotherhood" etc.  etc. it can be as creative or as simple as my examples. I would also like it to happen in IC, I think that would be a cool thing to RP.

When your are all ready for it, ... :)

One more thing we currently have 3 in the intro thread, and I will add more soon.

To be added you most have your sheet ready and your Description posted.

Torus - Description still needed
Kron Wroghsenn - both needed

I've been awaiting your approval of my sheet and admittance to the intro thread for a couple of days :). If there's something on my sheet that needs fixing or altering let me know, otherwise I'm ready to go :)

In reply to Feanor (msg # 80):

NO your fine! you are actually next to get to do an intro.

I add everyone one by one so each person gets a chance to post and reply.
Right now the third person is posting and once they finish meeting, .....

You will be next.

No worries :)

Even from under his boot's soles, the most rarest and ephemeral of all angles, Feanor is still a hunk.

Hello everyone, I will have to remove Kron Wroghsenn as he has not replied to my PMs or rmail. Also as you may have noticed not a log in for many days and he has never post in game.

I hope he is well, but I am looking for daily posts.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:29, Wed 25 Mar 2020.

Yeah, I figured he would have challenges. He did post his character on the chat board. He probably could have used a bit of RPOL management help, but he didn't really reach out for it, which, unfortunately, to me means that there was really little interest or will to do so.

But to each their own. =)

Alas, Kron Wroghsenn, we knew him not! =\

So far this group is pretty consistent, and once we get over the intros I think we should see some good old school gaming.

I am looking forward to this game.

One last question for the group, would you like me to place on the Players Wanted thread a call for a Fighter?
Or have an NPC fill the spot.

I was under the impression that the dwarves were taking that particular spot.

But up to you.

Bah!  I hit things just as good and my saves are better!

Besides, with dwarves on the front line, Darimillian doesn't have to aim so high over their heads to hit things. =)

lol. Ok

I know I making fun of the whole thing, but I am not opposed to another meatsh... stout and brave warrior for the party. =)

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 91):

Its ok, I think you will be fine. Plus I always have NPCs pop in and out and I have even given henchman at low levels based on Role-playing and Charisma Score.

let's keep this going as is, .......

Well, ok... I know we'll be fine. It not a matter of...

... hold on, Darimillian is telling me something.

He says he wants more warriors on the front line. As many as can be hired. Money is no object.

Go figure. Wizards. LOL! =)

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 93):

We have a joker, ....
lol

I will post tomorrow QT with family

Hope everyone is ok, and hope you are enjoying the adventure so far.
Any questions please ask away. :)

I have posted a game map. It not perfect but it’s has more then most.

Very nice. I recognize the mapper software.

Out of curiosity, where on the map, are we?

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 98):

Lol I don’t know yet.

The adventure says it takes place near the keep of the borderlands in the area marked unknown

Rilia has not logged in or posted in a few days. I sent an rmail and so far no reply.
I know many or dealing with hard times so I will not drop her, but I will NPC the character until (if) she returns.

Yeah, I was wondering about her.

I also don't see where this Keep on the Borderlands is at the moment on the large map. I'll explore it further with other online sources.

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 102):

I have searched a few time for this information.
So you would think its by the edge of the map in the mountain rang but i also think it could be on the west end by the swamps because the Keep of the Borderland have a few encounters with lizard-men.

Hello
Hope all is well and everyone is healthy

Last two days have been busy, but I hope to post by Sunday or earlier

Totally understandable. I work in IT and I have been slammed by the uptake in activity. Everyone's trying to learn how to do things online and the learning curve is steep for some people.

It to the rescue. =)

Wow, the whole site has been quiet for a while now.

Eerie. =)

Crazy day
I went to 15 stores and found two packs of toilet paper

Torus has sent a request and will drop out, and Rilia has not replied to my rmails.
I will post in the players wanted thread, so sorry for any delays.

The game is still going to continue and I will NPC both these players until someone takes them over or they are replaced with new characters.

Hope everyone is doing well in these crazy times.

So we have a few interested.

If the current player can continue IC and finish with the hunter - we can move things along.
If the characters are taken over I will just do a name change and keep everything the way it is.

All good here. Just waiting for the game to gather momentum.

Eann still hasn't answered Darimillian's request for an exchange of some sort.

I'm playing a fighting cleric he was badly burnt in a fire as a youth and only the skill of a powerful cleric spared him he joined the faith shortly after. That and it was one less mouth to feed at home. His patron deity is Thor whom he feels a closeness to.

Hey! Welcome to the game. =)

I added a second Patron Deity Asterius mostly he is for merchants, trade, wealth and travelers to less the guile bit.

I did some updates,
you will need to do some of your edit again, sorry for any confusion.

The cleric is now up and running. For the players, just think - Bob was the characters that was introduced. I will do my best to edit all the threads so the name is reflected properly.

And we are now working on the thief and maybe a fighter.

hey, so a little confusion.
I thought the new player understood they were taking over the characters and just changing name and some basic stuff.

BUT it maybe some player looking for their own new characters.

I don't what the intro to drag out i think it played really well so i am not looking to add or play that over.

I will figure this out and work with the new players.

I thought this was a RED BOOK game so simple a cleric heals, smash in the heads of chaos and turns undead not sure of skills and the like. I thought this was TSR's Red Book basic system. If its a clone game I'm kind of lost now.

Back in the day a character could fit on a medium sized index card.

its the red book printed in 1981
I posted almost all the info on the site from the basic rules.

I still have a few more things to add, but not much missing

My gaming email is kok.caladin@gmail.com
I can reply with a pdf copy if interested

Do you have a pdf for the Companion book? The black one?

Well we just moved my stats to his sheet. Alignments though DM there are only three Chaos (bad), Lawful (not bad) and Neutral (in the middle) so made him Lawful. Thor was goodly but enjoyed reveling more than a little.

He still can beat in heads to aid the weak and fight chaos an example to the faithful, preaching not so much. ^_^

WOW no I do not
I have the red and blue and i think the aqua
I have to looked for the black books

I forgot they made them, wow a blast from the past.
I am pretty good at finding them and if I have to, I have a friend that truly has very pdf.
Like he buys and has found them all, and even did his own for those that did not have one from the source.

He is s true D&D junkie, ......

ok great, i will start to edit the past threads to reflect your name etc etc. and i will make sure you are set for IC also. give me a few minutes to set that up

Yes the first game you can someday ascend to a true god and npc.

Yes, I remember a few of us actually make it that for, it was three players to finish the temple of elemental evil.

I was about 16 when we did that.

The group is full again and please continue to post.
We have one more to add but that will happen in the next IC.
The thief will stay and if that player does not return soon I will move it over to NPC status.

I like NPCing a thief, ... :)

Darimillian is awaiting Eann's answer to his proposal.

And... he'll be keeping an eye open on the thief from now on. =]

Looks like all five current members of the party have accepted the terms. I believe we're ready to head out Cal :).

Keen to get this game moving as it has bogged down a lot without having left the inn, which is never a good sign.

I agree. We are good to go. Darimillian is still waiting on the offer answer.

But it appears we are all ready and willing.

Still here.  A bit busy tomorrow, but otherwise good to go.

Hello all.

Your Fighter reporting for duty.  Looks like I get to join in the next scene.

Cheers!

We will drink ale over the bodies of fallen evildoers! (flexes) Hope you don't mind a comrade whose body was burned in a fire as a lad I'm not good to look upon.

Happy Easter!
All is well.
I will be around today for the game.

Darimillian approves! =D

Welcome Vatinus! An extra body up front is most welcome :)

In reply to Feanor (msg # 134):

so you noted you ready paid, ... but I don't see where everyone paid.
if so in OOC list the payouts, If someone did not pay I will post accordingly if everyone did pay or covered for another list that also and then adjust sheets.

I will post once I see the update OOC:

Darimillian hasn't paid. He only has a single gold coin left, so he proposed either services or delayed payment to Eann. But he also hasn't asked anyone else around the table for a loan or a later payment either.

He's waiting to hear from Eann as to whether he accepts the proposal.

My guy has ten copper.

Salochin: paid his 2g in post #49
Feanor: had his 2g paid for by Salochin in #51
Rilia: paid his 2g in #52
Darimillian: asked for deferred payment in #46, waiting for the NPC to respond to him.
Bob Horner: asked for deferred payment in #54, waiting for NPC's answer.

That's everybody in the party accounted for, just waiting for the hunter to say something now :)

Well a player can forward 2 gold too.

Sorry for my lack of posting this week. Turns out being on vacation gives me less time to RP.
And this remote learning is crop, I rather be working. My daughter is driving me crazy.

I look forward to being at my desk working next week. (posting on the side)

Until then excuse my lack in posting but I will try tonight to recap and start the next part of the adventure.

What are the saves for a 1st level cleric they aren't in my players books. (stoopid rulebooks)

Not a save bob, just a d20 roll. Roll low.

Can't remember stat checks in this version but I play so many versions I get them mixed up :)

Fyi Bob, your saves for your cleric are:

Death ray/poison 11
Magic wands 12
Paralysis/turn to stone 14
Rods/dragon breath 16
Staves/spells 15

Also, DM, could we please get a confirmation of the hunter's name? It appears to be different in the two chapters :)

In reply to Feanor (msg # 142):


There is a typo  He is - Eann the Hunter
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:17, Tue 21 Apr 2020.

So I have always used stats as the base for all skills. Maybe I was ahead of the curve when I was in 7th grade.

So there is no Spot Check, but Wisdom: The word "Wisdom" refers to inspiration, intuition, common sense, and shrewdness.

And so intuition can be a form of spot check, as you will see when I get everyone post and I reply.

I will wait for Salochin to post.

^^ D'oh!  On it.

This message was last edited by the player at 22:02, Wed 22 Apr 2020.

*Totally obvious rolling of the eyes*

[Grins back]

I am going to give Horner a chance to post and if not but tomorrow I will continue.

I hope all is well and when you see this post know that all party is now present and we are in the adventure.

FYI, we will not be adding anymore players to this game at this time and I hope you all are able to stick with it. :)

Please try your best to check daily and know that on weekends I tend not to post as much as during the weekdays.

Enjoy

Alright.

Quick question: now that Vatinius has arrived, does Darimillian still feel like he's being watched? Or was that the newcomer?

So sometimes I will ask for a roll call and if you can please reply that would be great, ...

Can I get a roll call ??
and I am waiting to see if anyone else would like to post before I continue ??

Still here, waiting on the answer about the "watched feeling".

Any conclusions?

Also ready to continue.

I will give everyone today to post if they want to and reply they are still around and I will post tonight or tomorrow.

I see everyone logging in but no posting so i will continue the adventure, ....

As we move into the adventure an encounter will happen and I would like to get the basic rule in agreement now.

Combat rules what about Dex modifiers I get a +1 bonus I believe when dealing with combat order?

I guess it depends if we are using the party init or individual init.

I’m thinking group. The less steps I feel the better combat tends to be by post.

Hope everyone is ready here is our first combat, let take it one step at a time and work this through so we all get a feel for how this will continue for the game.

Good Luck

Give me a little time and I will have some posts up soon.
I am working and today seems a little busy for a Covid closed for business day.

ok now with the surprise round posted player my posted freely and incroperate the surpirse attacking their post

example

As the goblins jump out and attack, arrows go flying and one strikes Borohorn in the leg. The wound is deep (4hp damage) but Borohorn press on with his attack and strike down one of the goblin with a devastating blow of his axe (6hp damage).

can be as long as you like have fun with it, just realize if he did 1 point of damage it would of been a different IC Or if he rolled bad then a miss and maybe any movement, etc etc

As long as the posts sticks to the facts you can write anything, as long as you don't RP the monsters in a way that have a game effect.
This message was last edited by the GM at 16:33, Tue 12 May 2020.

I missed that we were surprised, apologies.  Can I just transplant my unneeded rolls to be round one's actions?  Or would you like a re-roll?

Also, how much cover do the archer goblins have?

In reply to Salochin (msg # 164):

Your choice this time, but FYI I normally keep all rolls even if done out of order.

So Bob, your A/C is 3 and they need a 16 or better which they make it at a roll of 16, and the hit does 4 hp damage.

FYI, how I normal play by post if you can describe their hit with fairness and then counter with your roll.

example

The goblin charges with its spear and slashes Bobs left leg, As Bob does his best to forget the pain and focus on his attack, the bite of the wound cause enough pain for Bob's strike to miss.

When I attack with the goblins it will be something like this.

Bobs attack allows for the goblin to reposition himself and change to Bobs flank and with another blow. This time the sneaky goblin drives his spear into the other leg and Bob now needs to worry as with both wounds he's now in serious trouble. Perhaps he will not be able to handle another attack like the last one.

we roll init.

hope this help everyone on posting in combat :)

No worries, I'm happy to keep the roll.

In reply to Salochin (msg # 167):

Exceelent, ..... And I need input on this style of play by post ??

The attack on me was - Goblin,3 spear attack Bob, rolled 16,1

So should be 1 damage right its 16 and 1.

A more minor wound which pissed him off.

16,4 would be 4 damage right?

In reply to Bob Horner (msg # 169):

YES, my post was just an example so it was be a minor wound.
And i understand you post, thanks

correct

But the post you did was 16,1 so 1 damage. That above post was verbatim and we didn't do this rounds goblin attacks yet so I didn't mix anything up - you did.

In reply to Bob Horner (msg # 172):

Yup, i did in the example, .... its all good.
I will go a little slower, I tend to get excited in combat :)

Hello

so I'm not big on maps but just today i was introduced to this neat map app
Its really simple and it might work if you are interested.
I don't want to make the game complicated and I do not need a map to RP this game but some players need this tool and so I am willing to introduce

take a look at or game map and look under group 1
Also if anyone finds a better main map of the world out there let me know I am willing to change this up before we get to deep and there is no room to change it

Bob you were not hit in round 1

Bob was hit in surprise round -1hp
and goblin missed in round 1

Surprise, no Shield his AC was 4 then no Dex modifier so AC 5. It should have hit. The second one sorry on new pain meds and I'm just out of it when it first kicked in. I should be fine avoiding damage.

Hi everyone, now that we are in our first combat we can weed through some rules and figure out some things.

So the different versions of D&D have many ways to handle movement, since I am not a map person for combat I like to keep things simple.

I never saw combat as standing on a 5ft square and going at it. If your thinking 3.5 D&D with 5ft shifts that's out in this game.

This doesn't mean you can just Move about and do what every you like, but if you want to tumble and leap or jump in your description that's fine as long as you understand it has no game mechanic effects.

For example the Salochin moved 20 ft and attacked, this is ok.
One goblin moved and change his target from Darimillian to Feanor who was within 20 ft and attacked, this is also ok.
Darimillian withdrawal and added 10 ft so if any goblin next round would want to attack him in melee they would have to move only and next round attack.
Since Darimillian is no longer threaten he can hide or seek cover.
Vatinius is also not in melee so he can hide and also seek cover.
Both Vatinius & Salochin still have one more round before they can attack the Goblins with the shortbows, that means in round 3 they can move the last 10ft and attack in melee at any point they can attack with missile and keep closing the gap. Keep in mind so can the goblins.

I guess the best way to say this is, you can move up to your movement once, at almost any point during a fight if the area allows it.

When this combat is over - really need everyone's input to make sure this format is ok?
Need to know that we are all comfortable with it and fell it makes sense and if we should continue as is or make some changes for next combat.

Thanks

FYI

Our first house rule which I think everyone will like, ........

Each full day of complete rest will restore 3 hit points plus constitution bonus.

Ok, so from where I see this it looks like it is:

- Group initiative (them vs us)
- Order of actions is based on order of posts (he who posts first, acts first)

That sounds easy and simple to me. I have no issues with it.

Yes, that's about it
And movement is your speed

[Insert Thumbs-Up Emoji Here]

In reply to Caladin (msg # 181):

Hey Cal can I just check, we roll init at the beginning of every round by the looks? If so, you could post your roll for the next round at the bottom of your current round summary (msg #76), then the first of us to log into the game can roll for party init and know immediately if we win init or not. Just a thought :)

I think since there’s no modifier, it makes since for you to roll both.

If we win, we go, in whatever order the players happen to post. Then you do. Repeat.

If you win, you go. Then the players go, in whatever order we happen to post. Repeat.

It would cut down on waiting for us to throw a d6 just to see if you can have the NPCs go or not.  And when we all post, but lost init, and you post the NPCs actions after ... now the posts are out of order and some handwavium needs to be applied to actions that got posted out of order.

Hmmm... what is this handwavium you speak of?... I think I could use it for spell components...

I keep it right next to my macguffins.

Handwavium…….priceless :)

In reply to Feanor (msg # 183):

ok

In reply to Salochin (msg # 184):

ok

lol, ok tomorrow i will update and get into the next round

A change will go into effect next fight, ....
GM will rolls group initi to help speed up posting time since there is a delay as we wait to see who goes first each round. This should reduce that wait.

If group win, players post, actions happen in order of posts. Then GM posts.

If encounter wins, GM posts, then the players post, actions happen in order of posts.

let me know if this sound ok ?

Very positive change I think :)

Sounds good

And lol, we just got our first Simultaneous Combat, ...
I have corrected in the rules (update) and added that info to the bottom of the post.

lets do round 3 :)

No objections. Let the Initiative Dice of Fate roll.

It was brought to my attention there was an error on the MONSTER ATTACK TABLE, and you were correct and I think it now read correctly.

I think Salochin has one last chance to take down the last runner or the sleeping "beauty" on the ground. And Vatinius you also have that same chance if you wish.

The ones sleeping no rolls need to kill them its automatic.

FYI
I noticed some players using Bio line 2 for A/C and Hit Points
You you all agree i think this is a smart thing.

let me know if its ok that this becomes a standard ?
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:10, Fri 15 May 2020.

I usually do.

Salochin will take out the sleeper. He’s out of ranged options.

I will be home all this weekend!!

Since places are opening and there is this need for everyone to get out I figure I will do the opposite.
So, I will be staying home and doing food shopping etc etc during the week and this means I will be posting as much as I can online.

We will be moving posting through tonight and the weekend, ....

With the goblin running away that really should be treated as a Retreat
In the post as a description I say running, but to be fair the players should also add the +2 to hit as per the Retreat

i was searching crossbows and in basic i dont see 1 round to load, am i missing something. because if thats the case then Rilia will fire at the goblin also

Yeah, this is basic D&D. Reloading times are too complex a concept for this system. =)

hey, sorry
so I said I was going to post but turns out wife had something else in mind so i will read u and post later in the day on Monday.

Has anyone see The Witcher on Netfix ?
Its Pretty Cool and a Good D&D show

Yes, I like it. It's pretty bloody, but that's fantasy for you.

I found the sudden changes of time line and non-continuous story a bit hard to follow, but once I realized what they were doing it all fell into place.

I am looking forward to a second season. =)

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 207):

it really reminded me of a classic AD&D game wondering monsters, doppelganger, dragon, elves, dwarves and the magic is very interesting. I like how some wizards/ mage users can fight.

the idea of magic is based on chaos and controlling that chaos, Im trying to remember what setting that comes from. I remember this, maybe Spell Law?

Its so funny when I say I'm going to have time to post I loss it and can't post
When I say I'm too busy I end up with nothing to do at work.

SO I HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK
LMAO! and so i am not sure if i will post tomorrow.

HEADS UP

Going on Vacation!!!

So, I normally go ever year to the Cape May, for Memorial Day weekend but thanks to Covid for the first time since I was 8 I will not go to the beach to start my summer. This year I will go to my house in the mountains and chill out with Mother Nature in the woods and my lake, do some shooting and fishing in PA.

I will have Wifi, and I will bring my lap top so I can post. Not sure, .... lets see how it goes. I do not want to say I will post, ... then get tied up and don't keep my word. I do intend to post as much as I can based on how sober I stay, LMAO

Keep gaming and be safe.

Knock yourself out. =)

Thanks
I just might :)

By the way, I do need to know A. make camp and heal one day or B. press onto the valley of rocks ?

Hello Everyone

I hope you had a great Memorial Weekend, I an on vacation until Sunday night I am posting and logging in when I have some free time. Please check the thread on GENERAL RULES, I added a post on Ability Checks. With Classic D&D there are gaps and one is how to determine some things like a spot check or search, etc, etc.

Its been years but I remember using abilities for many of these rolls and I plan to do the same here. Let me know what you think about this? I also plan to add some Racial abilities, that are given based on your play in IC (still working on this idea).

If any of you have any questions or don't like any of the house rules that may come up as we play please let me know. I do want this to be as enjoyable as possible for all.

Hi

I have been thinking I would like to make clear how abilities will be used in the form of untrained skills. I will be using the 5th ed. concept. I think it would nice when player takes actions they understand what may need to be rolled before.

An example in the Valley of Rocks if a PC wanted to climb the steepest area what would be roll? And that would be strength with a DC I would assign and it would range from very easy (DC 0) to Nearly impossible (DC 40)

I will also post a chart with the DC rating so its fair for everyone and they can know in advance what may come form their actions.

let me know if you have any questions?
I will continue to add this information unless we like something else in its place.

Hi again
looks like a few players might be away also for the week. I will continue to post what I can until Monday, if they are not back by then, I will start to rmail them  to see what their status is with the game.

Still here. Made the WSD check.

Story hasn't moved on, though. We are trundling along, in the valley, on the many, many rocks. Not much to see here. Moving along now. These are not the droids rocks we're looking for.

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 218):

lol,

Well I have checked in and as you can see with the login its been a few days since 1 or 2 have joined us. Hope they check in soon as I have some free time today but I think I will have less the next 3 day since is the wife's birthday soon

In reply to Caladin (msg # 215):

Regarding rules mods imported from other editions, I'd prefer to just go with the raw in basic. It makes it bland on the skill front, but that's part of the beauty of basic to me.

But if you're keen to include them it's your game, I'll roll with the punches.

I would agree with Feanor. I'd like to stick to the original (lack of) skills, or the optional skills of the basic edition.

On that note, you have included two encumbrance and movement systems: the original coin based system, and 5th edition STR multiplier system. I think you might have to settle on one of them.

Skills were introduced in the Rules Cyclopedia when they pulled  BECMI into one book.

I can go either way.

ok,
but in basic I reminder using abilities much like 3.5 skills ?
So like if a character wanted to track a creature it would be a Wisdom (Survival) check.

just saying it not a skill per say, its a wisdom check, ....

With encumbrance there is weight and the the effects speed/movement
I working on that and I differently what to keep the basic rules in play.
If they contradict each other I can easily remove the one under strength.

I'm actually looking to keep it pour as well, so no not interest in actual skills and assigning point, it more like automatic as part if the abilities, just to give the abilities more depth for players and game use.

I kind of am already using it this way its just not clearly in writing within the basic rules.

Hmmm... about those DC rules.

Basic D&D does not have skill points. At best, it uses the stats to represent innate skills.

This means that no character will ever get a +4 or higher to their roll.

It is then not quite possible to hit a 24 in this system, because the most you could roll is a 20, and highest bonus you could get is a +3 with an 18 stat.

The idea of a DC 25 does not seem likely to ever hit with common stats, much less 30 or 40.

Please correct me if I misunderstanding this.

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 226):

You are correct, and have some very good points on DC.
What if these bonuses were stack-able. Magic items, and not sure maybe other stuff ??

also we can change up the DCs.

And lastly we can add 1 also misses
and 20 always hits

And remember everyone this is a discussion and not officially part of the rules, as we continue to push forward
This message was last edited by the GM at 13:04, Sat 30 May 2020.

I have established a different system in the Basic D&D game I am running. It goes like this:

Premise:
The average stat is 11, numerically speaking, although from a human perspective it probably goes from 9 - 11. Hence, for our purposes, 11 is the middle point for this operation.

System:
Now, with this 11 in mind, we establish difficulties. To succeed you have to roll equal to, or below, your stat number. A 1 always succeeds.

- Easy/Routine: no roll necessary, you can do it or know the information
- Slightly Difficult: -2 to the roll
- Difficult: -4 to the roll
- Very Difficult: -6 to the roll
- Challenging: -8 to the roll
- Heroic: - 10 to the roll

So, from the perspective of an average 11, Heroic difficulty would place the success roll on a 1 out of 20. Which is still possible for your average individual, but very hard.

PCs, of course, will have higher stats, and hence will have better chances to succeed on their skill attempts than others.

Note that the stat bonuses are not actually included for these rolls. If the stat earns a bonus, it is already higher than 11, hence it will already have that "bonus" in it. Lower stats and penalties work the same way: a lower stat means that you can't do things that are more difficult because your base chance is already below 11.

What do you think?

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 228):

Interesting but I need some examples in game play to better understand.

Ok... examples are easy.

Let's say you have a mage with a 17 INT and a 9 DEX. And you also have a rogue with a 17 DEX and a 9 INT.

A knowledge skill roll for the mage would be based on INT. He would only need a 17 or less to make that roll and succeed. For more difficult or obscure knowledge, he would take a penalty, say -8 to his roll because the knowledge is very obscure. With that 17 INT he would have:

17 - 8 = 9 or less to make the roll.

The rogue with an INT of 9 would only have 9 - 8 = 1 or less to make the roll. Very hard to do so, but still a 5% chance.

For a physical test, let's say there is a tightrope spanned between rooftops. The rogue would use a DEX based skill (acrobatics) with a -6 for difficulty because it is at night and the rope is very narrow. He would would need:

17 - 6 = 11 or less to make that crossing.

The mage, with a DEX of 9, would need 9 - 3 = 3 or less to make it. Not impossible, but pretty hard for a mage trying this out.

Now, some things would naturally be not allowed. For example, an old man with a STR of 5 would not be able to move a very heavy boulder. Not even with a natural roll of 1. Likewise, attempting to translate or understand a language never seen before cannot be done, even with an INT roll of a 1, unless you are using magic or something.

Makes sense? Of course, this is all only a suggestion. =)

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 230):

I like it, and that was my first idea but I couldn't see the pattern. Your example does that.
And what about the bonus for the 17 which in +2 for INT. Does that take any  effect? As i was think to add that to the DC.

So in your example it would start at 19, and get adjusted from there based on the difficultly.

In this system, there is no Difficulty Class. You either make the roll or you don't.

Characters with high stats will have an easier time. Characters with low stats are just not as skilled.

If a roll is meant to be more difficult than normal, you add the penalties to compensate. If it is meant to be easier, you can add bonuses. But overall, there is no DC to reach. Just the roll equal or lower than the adjusted stat. The bonuses don't play into it.

In order to have a bonus of +3, the stat would already be at 18, which is an 18 or less roll, which is far better than, say, a 12 or less roll, a stat where no bonuses are present. You can effectively ignore the bonuses because the stats are already very high, making the base roll much easier anyway.

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 232):

ok, I think it all makes sense and we will go with this if everyone agrees.

I made a table so players will have an idea on adjustments based on the task difficulty.

Hi
Please continue IC all rolls stand and we will work on rules as we play.
Lets keep the game going as we chat to make it better :)

Hey Caladin,

This looks like you are copying the GM details off of the module you are running. This is typically private GM stuff only, and should in all likelihood be kept from the players. Specially the parts where it gives away the secret doors.

I would recommend you not post that information for everyone to see. =)

Sorry to edit your post just in case some missed it. BUT thanks BIG TY

Hey Caladin, are we all rolling for secret doors, or just Dari?

In reply to Feanor (msg # 238):

Everyone please

Secret Doors? I thought we were rolling for "surprise". =)

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 240):

Feanor is correct my last request for a spot/search check secret doors.

Thanks for checking in on this sorry for any confusion. :)

How's this for a marching order?

Good for me

On the single line, I would not recommend Darimillian be the last one, for those infrequent "attack from behind" moments. Someone with at least decent armor should be picking up the rear.

Good point Dari. Small modification:

In reply to Feanor (msg # 245):

Ok, I’m away fishing this weekend but I will follow up on Monday.
Remember the more info the better and less possible confusion later.

Looking good.

Have fun with the fish. =)

In reply to Darimillian (msg # 247):

Hey I'm back, got two this weekend to small to keep but fun regardless.
Just nice to be out and get some sun.

I will be posting :)

sorry for any delays
can i get a role-call ?

Darimillian is ready and set to take over the world with his awesome magical powers, and a golden, autographed version of his very own "ThighMaster".

Here :)

Here

I think we may have lost one or two players.
But I plan to continue,

I'm happy to roll up a second character, say a cleric, to round out the team if you like :)

In reply to Feanor (msg # 254):

lets see how thing god for now

Just an FYI
NYC is opening up and we are in Phase 1 and going to Phase 2
So I'm getting busy again, getting my team back into the grove so this week was a little slow in my posting.

Anyway I'm here and will keep things going :)

Thanks for the role call, hope to post soon :)

FYI
Salochin may become the next NPC, since no log in for last 30days or so.
I sent an rmail to see if interested still.

I will NPC him for now.

Have the opportunity to go camping and hiking (and hopefully fishing) Monday-Wednesday this week.  We are home basing out of a cabin-not sure of the WIFI reliability.  If something comes up feel free to NPC me.  Should be back upon WED night for sure.

Cheers!

In reply to Vatinius (msg # 258):

enjoy!

love the outdoors

Ready for the combat....

Ready to do our best :)

hey, work of off the charts today
i will start up tomorrow.

Salochin has officially drop out and I will be updating that info.

Hi everyone, sorry for the delays but yes we are up and running again :)
enjoy!

Thank encounter was just fast, BUT well done - I did not think so much damage and so many would hit in the first round like that.

Well Done.

You know I was thinking about that encounter an I almost felt like it was a box with an opening and had a sign insert sword here for exps.

LMAO

Yeah, it is easy to underestimate the power of PCs. =)

If anyone wants to make a quick post now and I will continue IC tomorrow.
Combat has ended.

Hello

so we have a new player to fill the loss of the dwarf.
He will read up and get to speed.

I will be removing Salochin in IC next and Rilia will become my NPC for now.

Okey dokey.

Sounds good.

Thanks for the accept. I was once a Lord of the RedBox (circa 1983). Rolled attributes it appears this character can go anywhere. So what does the party need?

Welcome.  I'm a fighter, think we have an elf and wizard as well

Welcome. This character's name is Darimillian. He's a novice in the mystic arts, but he hopes to learn much in the years to come.

Welcome Guru :)

FYI
I have updated the game, and we will continue IC tomorrow.
Wunjo will be introduced soon, keep a look out :)

Salochin is officially removed and he is archived in the Adventure Log Thread. I may edit somethings and add to the post. Who knows maybe he will pay everyone a guest visit from time to time. :)

I'm going to put out another request for new players.

I’m away in the mountains of PA.
I will be back Monday.
Post by Tuesday.

Ok.

FYI
I have decided to make a second group the will merge in game.

Interesting. Looking forward to the results.

Hopefully we don't 'accidentally' kill them.......

Hi everyone, and Welcome!

I have added a few new players.
I will start a separate group and at some point they will hopefully merge with the current group.

Sounds good.

For the new players
You will need to have your full character sheet ready before we begin an IC.
You are open to chat about what type of classes you would like.

I recommend the following and in this order

Cleric
Dwarf
Thief

I already rolled my character, unfortunately his highest stat was Intelligence so he's more MU material.

Kicking some cast iron dwarf axe over here!

In reply to DavidVC (msg # 286):

ok

My character is only fit to be a fighter. All stats average or below average except strength

Can always use someone else to go through doors with me....

IN IC

I will wait on my post until everyone gets 1 post in.

with the new players
let me know when your sheets are ready I will look them over.
Any questions just ask.

If I see all the new characters are ready we can start as early as this coming Monday.

I'm ready

In reply to DavidVC (msg # 293):

I updated your name and will do some other minor updates.
Will you be editing your Character Description ? It has the stats.
Maybe that can be changed with a brief and or lengthily history and stuff :)

I have to fill out my full throttle character sheet, right now I just have the notebook version of it.

My sheet is ready ;)

All I need is to figure encumberance. Ehem we using it right?

By the way, why does RPoL absolutely suck on mobile? Can anyone make me see why?

It is an old website, it wasn't designed for that.

But, I believe the new version does take mobile into account.

The new format works OK for me.

I just got the maximum frustration for this and looked at it on my phone.

Not that bad at all.

EDIT: Character sheet done (do review for any holes)?

hello
last few days have been crazy at work first time to really log.
i should be up and running tomorrow with post.

Whenever you are good to go.

IC, has started for group 2;

Wunjo - your up in IC first, once his intro with some brief interact is done i will startthe next intro. I will let each player know when they are up.

Does Thorstro or Stormrider hunt ? I am looking to fill in ideas for their intros ?
Do you know each other already something ?

And Stormrider, if you like you can fill in some description.

Throstro's a sorceror, I can't imagine him hunting except searching for rare herbs or a special mushroom.

In reply to Thorstro (msg # 304):

got it

FYI
We have one more to add to group 2
keep in mind that at some point they will merge
Headed to the Mts of PA, I will try to post tonight and maybe tomorrow

Hmmm, looks like someone will be needing a lock-opener ... Finishing character gen.

My fighter is ready. hehe weak guy

Hello

Crazy start, to a crazy week, in a crazy time, when we are all looking for some sanity.
Anyway I hope to read up and post asap.

And in case your wondering what I'm talking about, I have been on a plane and driving more than I have been sleeping in the last 4 days.

Considering that people usually sleep only 8 of the 24 hours in a day, that's pretty normal. =)

I can do without food, but I cannot be without sleep. Not at all. Sure if I had a medical career it would be second nature. I haven't met the first doctor that hasn't had trouble sleeping.

I had an accident in my power chair and got out of the hospital but due to lots of things to do including legal must stop playing most games. So am leaving this game.

Laters. Have fun. =)

Hello
Very sorry for my absence,
Handling back to school issues and relocation.

The game is not dead, over or anything like that.
I was just very busy, and I will catch up ASAP

Didn't think the game was dead at all. It was clear you were busy.

I have been scrabbling for days since I got the news that my daughter will be going to school in another state.

NYC sucks right now, really its always sucked, but I made the best of it. With all the shooting and school issues, and covid, and my work. ooo man the tigers and bears.

The concert jungle just isn't the right place for her now and I have to get all our paper work in order in two weeks for her to go to school in Florida.

Its really tough on me and my wife, the shit we have to do for our kids is crazy.

I see.

Well, I am glad that she has concerned parents that are trying to do the best for her.

I don't have any children, but I am sure I'd be doing something similar if it came down to it.

No worries about the posting. Take care of the kids! =)  *thumbs-up*

I hear you on that.  I'm just outside of DC and we have all these same problems.  I just got back from dropping one of mine off at college on Ohio, once we get the next two out of High School we are getting out of the area as well.

As Darimillian said-take care of your family. We will be here.

I thought the Governor Cuomo had New York's COVID under control and Florida was in deep denial with maskless partiers everywhere. I'd be fleeing in the opposite direction!

My youngest finished 2 years ago, thank god. What a mess to deal with.

O my God! this has been the three weeks from Hell!

So I am very sorry I had a family emergency that I am still dealing with.
And work is crazy, ... and when I say crazy I mean these people are off their rockers.

The good news is my family emergency will be resolved by Tuesday (I hope)
and work, well its work i will deal with that.

Let say for now that I will be back in full force by next week Wednesday.

Thank for sticking it out.

Not to be political BUT, ......
Cuomo is a D!ck
De Blasio is a P@ssy
and together NY if F$cked

LMAO

About the rest maybe another day :)

Well, at least we are stuck in the kitchen, so there is plenty of food.

Thorstro has request to leave the game, we will continue as is.

Just checked turns out no IC post so no issues in game play

Haveweartd e adventure? Sorry

Ive been floating in the multiverse, that thin line between real life and this wonderful universe of online imagination. With a hurricane in the same hemisphere as Louisiana and my wife's nerve pinch on her hip (no not Vulcan) I have been spinning in the pre-school merry go round. But I think that my dwarf is ready, with a cast iron axe!

Well, hurricanes in Vermont are degraded rainstorms, except for Irene a few years back. We were on the edge of that one. 20 minutes down the road and you were in it. Work is an unending series of computer upgrades and trying figure out what has changed and why. No help from IT either. Friday night D&D with the guys is still on though. No more discord, could hear and see them, but I had no voice ...

Sounds like an existential angst problem.

Hey headed to my place in PA and i should have time tonight to post.

I LOOK FORWARD TO RPing again! last 2/3 weeks has been a killer, .....
I will be glade to share later :)

Most days here in 2020 are a killer for most of us. I have so many checks against my life (nothing life threatening) that I barely know what day it is. Dodged another Hurricane though, happy about that.

Hello Everyone

So another week has pasted by, .....
Know I am around and my kids school seems in order and work seems to be ok again.

I will try again for this week to get this back on track.

Best always !

Best wishes.  I figure DC is gonna get crazy again, so I expect that my life will resume to interesting \....

Blue Skies, Green Lights! We here.
