An Out of character discussion thread.

Alright! We’re in here.

welcome - I'm trying to get everyone in here, and then I'll be able to do more from there. :)

Yay!

Sounds good

How many are you expecting?

In reply to Char1 (msg # 6):

right now I'm waiting for Willis to respond but if he doesn't we should be good to start.

I'm still working on finding a good character sheet I like since I'm not the biggest fan of the default ones here on Rpol. I'll probably have it by tomorrow.

Guessing once you have this sheet up, we can start creating characters.


I'm in Australia; and will generally post between about 5-6 AEST.

In reply to Char1 (msg # 9):

yes, you can. I'm in the east coast of the US.

Any luck with a character sheet?

yeah, I found one I like - I'll be finishing that today

https://drive.google.com/folde...xIycBa-k9lA4o5U4W2fX

here is the link to the folder. please don't edit the template, but copy it into your folder.

If you have any questions please let me know.

I'm still around.  I'll get something in here soon. Life got busy again.

In reply to Char 2 (msg # 14):


it always happens, so no worries here. plus the pandemic hasn't helped anything, so no worries. For character creation, I'd stick to the common cultures (Cymric, Saxon, etc.).


As for house rulings, I have two main ones.

1. LGBT+ characters are completely acceptable in setting, as are lady knights. For marriage, just let me know whether your character is going for a lady or a knight.

2. If you decide to play a lady knight, you use the regular stats for a knight instead of the stats for a lady. Also, any  player knights who are ladies can't die in childbirth, seeing as it happens a lot on the base table.

I realize that's a lot,and I'll be pinning those in a house rules thread later. any other questions, feel free to let me know.

Hey guys, I’m here.  We closed on our new house yesterday and I’ve been helping my wife with getting it ready today.  Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some time to get something down on paper.  I’ve never made a character before but I assume I just follow the charts?

In reply to Char3 (msg # 16):

First of all, congrats on the house! Your life always comes first, so no worries.

The directions for character creation are in the core rulebook, it's mostly changes to skills in the Book of Knights and Ladies.

What edition of the game are we using?  5.1?

5.2 - the Google folder should have it, but if not I can fix that.

We using the family history charts, and if so, do you want the rolls public or private?

It is your choice for history, though the book of sires often gives more glory than the core book. That said, if you choose to use the rulebook and there's a large glory disparity, I can figure something out for that. rolls should be public, please.

All I see in the folder is the character sheet.

In reply to Char3 (msg # 22):

hmm, I'll try to fix that tonight

it should be fixed now, but if not please let me know

Book of Sires looks kind of cool for family history, but I won't really have a lot of time to read through it and do the family history using it before next weekend, so unless we're all willing to wait, or be very patient as I try to use it whilst reading instead of reading it first, I'll stick with the core rulebook.

it is 100% your call

Hi all, I'm a last minute addition to the gang!

I'm new to Pendragon so will also be going strictly from the core rulebook as I figure I can make less mistakes that way!

So, everything I've read in the rules indicates the game would start in 485; but the sheet seems to be indicate 480 - but all the family history events start in 439. Do we replace the dates on the sheet to more easily match up with the core rulebook?

In reply to Char1 (msg # 28):

the history section is for your family history. it starts in 439 with your grandfather, and we will be starting in 485 - the 484-484 sheets are for your father's history.

Should finish the history in a day or so.

In reply to Char1 (msg # 30):

alright, sounds good!

Anyone need help with anything?

Nope. Working on my sheet now.

I think my sheet is done. You can check in the folder and let me know. Thanks.

Alright, I will! Thanks!

Anyone else need help!

I'll try to get something up this weekend, sorry for the delay

Think I only need to sort out my name. Really busy at work at the moment, so might need to wait for the weekend for that.

In reply to Storyteller (msg # 36):

No worries

In reply to Char1 (msg # 37):

in a little bit I can give you a link to a Cymric name generator I made.

Everyone doing alright?

Yep - raring to go!

Alright, sorry for the delays.

Was waiting for name generator, but can just steal some from the book if needed.

https://docs.google.com/spread...cg/edit?usp=drivesdk

if the link doesn't work, please let me know. sorry about that

Yep. Doing well. Still here.

I"m still here too guys.  This moving stuff has been terrible but we should be done by the end of next week I think.  Sorry for delays on my part.

In reply to Char3 (msg # 46):

no need to apologize for moving - I've been through it and it sucks.

I'll try to start today or tomorrow, probably tomorrow.

Sounds good

Ready now, but will be slow throughout July.

In reply to Char1 (msg # 49):

no worries

I'll get something up tonight - my technical writing class has not been enjoyable, but I'll do my best to get something okay up.

Great. Sounds good!

In reply to Char 2 (msg # 52):

Thanks for being so understanding of everything going on! Pandemic hasn't helped anything, for sure

It's all good. I'm lucky both in the type of work I do and also where I live, so take as much time as you need.

Yeah. Take your time. That’s the beauty of play by post.

I managed to get something up, sorry for the delay all.

Woot! Alright. I’ll get a post in there soon.

Will get out a post tomorrow sometime. Been a long week.

In reply to Char 2 (msg # 57):

no need to apologise, it happens

Characters should be renamed now - if not please let me know, I'm still learning the GM menu for rpol.

Looks like it is. Thanks

I'll be continuing tomorrow, sorry for the delay. this class is almost over.

Sounds good

No rush. Still pretty busy at work till end of the month.

I am back from vacation and working on catching up.

Cool.

As an FYI, my classes will be starting a week from Monday. I am entirely online for the fall semester though.

I'll continue tomorrow, sorry for the delay.

Hilarious. Celynen was meant to be superb on a horse but not necessarily when wielding a lance.

Been slammed with work, will try to update this weekend

hey all, I'll try to update tomorrow, sorry i've been so busy

No problem

been absolutely slammed, and today I woke up in a ton of pain. will try to update this weekend. I'm sorry for moving slowly

All good. Just enjoying playing this system.

Hey all, just letting you know of 2 things. 1 - I bumped the game rating up to Mature from general. 2. We might be getting 2 new players - I saw they were looking for a Pendragon campaign so I invited them.

Hello friends.  I joined the game and just about finished my character.  I am one of the players that was looking for someone to GM this game.  I have not played Pendragon since the first (or maybe second) edition, way back in the 80s and 90s.  I do have the 5th edition books, however.  Sorcha O'Hara is a squire from an Irish family that transplanted to Salisbury during her father's time. Unless someone got it already she has the Newton Manor.

Welcome!

Please let me know when I can make an entrance.

I'll be continuing tomorrow hopefully. Been finishing up a massive project today and will totally finish it tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

I was completely busy yesterday and when I was about to post my computer froze. I'll be posting today hopefully

'll continue this weekend - have an exam and paper to do this week

I'm sorry I've been so busy, finals are coming up very soon (week after next). Will get something out tomorrow.

What does he mean about the lades going to dinner?  I think I lost the context.

That was thanks to autocorrect ;) I fixed it now, it's Imber, not actually dinner.

Thank you for the correction.  Quick question, are we knights yet or still squires?

Still squires, but not for much longer.

Sorry, been having something at work. Will post tomorrow.

What does Clegis look like?  There is no description in his description.  Thank you.

Sorry, thought I had put one up!

I see him very much like Brian Blessed in the first series of Blackadder. Large, heavily bearded and very, very loud.

Hey,
I want to apologize for the disappearing act. Without getting into the whole deal, I got wrapped up in something and it ended up taking me away from my computer and the internet for pretty much this whole time.

Stuff is still ongoing so I’m going to be taking a step back from the website for a little bit and stop running and playing games here due to time and stress constraints. I appreciate the patience and opportunity to play with you.

Again, I'm sorry for having to duck out.

In reply to Marrick (msg # 90):

I completely understand. I'll keep you as a player for now so that you can stay and chat with the other players. Whenever you feel ready, I'll add you back as an active player so that you can join the others.

Happy New year, everyone! I'll be updating us tomorrow or Sunday.

If there isn't anything you all want to do before heading out, I'll update us tomorrow.

I'll update us tomorrow. CLasses just started - sorry for the delay

I'm also working on setting up a Notion board for the campaign - I've only recently discovered it but it works very well for campaigns. When I get the link set up I will see if I can add you.

Sorry all, last 2-3 weeks have gotten insanely busy. Will post tomorrow.

In reply to Celynen (msg # 96):

No worries!

I'll update tomorrow, sorry for the delay.

is everyone still interested? completely fine if not

I am, just trying to think of a response.

No worries

Still here.  I'll post something soon

In reply to Sorcha (msg # 102):

thanks for the update

Sorry for the delay all, been absolutely slammed.

I'll update tomorrow, sorry for the delay.

been dealing with the final weeks of the final semester. I'm so sorry about the inconsistencies, but with only 3 weeks left it is not much longer until I have much more free time.

Sorry all, major computer issues.

No worries, it happens. Sorry for the delay on my end - finals this last week a d graduation yesterday (comp sci major with a minor in cybersecurity). I totally get it,so no worries there.

Is everyone still interested? If not I'll delete the game, but I just want to make sure everyone is still here.

Posting now.

We've unfortunately lost Sorcha as a player in the campaign. Would you like me to recruit one or two more people, or should we keep going?

I'm happy to keep going with things. Bit of new blood never hurt either.

I'll update tomorrow, sorry for the delay. I also added character sheets to everyone here on RPOL as well, in case you need a backup. I'll look around for some templates as well.

*waves at everyone*

Hello, I'll be playing as Mattius Helvius Aquilius. I might have to stand behind most of you when the fighting starts...

Welcome!

I take it both Terrwyn and Mattius have been sent to Imber for the same reason as the other squires?

In reply to Mattius Helvius Aquilius (msg # 116):

Yes- you likely were sent with your knights

I will be out of town from tomorrow until Tuesday. I will try to update, but if I can't get any signal It will most likely be Wednesday before I can. Sorry for the delay.

Hey all, just wanted to let you all know I'm back from vacation. I will update tonight.

So... where did everyone go?

I'm not sure - I'll give them a few more days and then continue.

Sorry, don't know why but had assumed that you just meant the newcomers. I'll do a roll now!

Celynen and Char3 haven't logged in about 1 month, Marrick 4 months and Terrwyn simply hasn't posted, ever. Do we maybe want to just move on?

I'll be going through tomorrow and updating the campaign. Sorry for the delay.

Sorry for the delay - yesterday was a really busy day for me. I sent a message to Celynen, Char3, Marrick, and Terrwyn to see if they were interested. I am going to give them 1-2 days to reply, but if not, I am glad to continue, or if you'd rather I end the game I can do that - your choice.

i'm giving them one more day before I continue without them. Would you all want to continue? I'm willing to shut the campaign down if not

With basically no IC post to speak of in 30 days, I'm going to bow out. I don't see this going anywhere at the current pace a commitment.

In reply to Mattius Helvius Aquilius (msg # 127):

I understand, sorry it won't work out.

I'll delete the game in a week.
