I love that song, but if I listen to even 2 seconds of it, I'll be singing it for the next week and a half.

Yeah, it is catchy.

I regret everything now that the chorus is stuck in my head.

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

I'm busy with family stuff at the moment but will catch up on everything once I have sorted them out. I will have a game post and should be caught up with everything within 12 hours. I'm a slow typer though so may take longer with replying to everything

Reizzok's sheet is done on Beyond (in my sheet) I'm filling out a template for here too though

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

Do we need to wait for approved sheet before we post IC?

I don't know about the others, but I didn't wait.

Minor RP without Rolls should be fine I'm guessing.

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

I assume Morginn won't be appearing until such a time as the expedition reaches their entry into the Underdark and starts trying to find their guide, since that's sort of her entire purpose in the narrative.  ^^;  Underdark rangers are grand, but you can't beat a native guide.

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

Well, could she have gone to meet them somewhere in the upper tunnels and guide them into the Underdark and beyond?

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

That's functionally what I was thinking?  I'm not clear exactly on how the DM intends to handle the portion of civilization that's just below the surface but not wholly in the Underdark, where the expedition is heading to begin with.  That's presumably where The Returned would be hanging out along with the Deep Gnomes.

It still hasn't been wholly hashed out whether Morginn coming on as the party's native guide is a "kid with a mission elbows her way into the group" sort of thing, or if Lord Rogar knows her clan and is intentionally coming to them for aid.  Either way works, really.  But Morginn wouldn't be out and about on the surface.  Plus the DM has a lot to manage with a group this size, so I can handle a bit of waiting in the meantime.

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

Well, I'm looking forward to how things play out. Will things move relatively quick so everyone is joined up? Will our DM run things in parallel?

With a group this large, like you said it will be a lot to manage, but people will drop out, its something that usually happens in such situations.

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

Dunno, though you're right about there always being drop-offs in the cast.  It's an inevitable part of online games, unfortunately, as real life so often interferes with folk's ability to enjoy their downtime.  I'm looking forward to holding on as long as I can though; it's really rare to see this sort of all-Dwarves story, so I really want to see where it goes.  ^^  Dwarves are criminally underutilized in D&D these days.

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

True. I normally never play a dwarf or a Barbarian. So this should be fun.

Also, after taking a second look at my Character Sheet, apparently simple addition is hard.

Baldin's character sheet is ready. I'm having difficulty keeping up with all the messages so if I missed anyone trying to discuss relationships, etc. regarding Baldin then I apologize and please let me know.

I had suggested we’re distant cousins, based on the Stone prefixed surname

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

In reply to Bugrem Stonesinger (msg # 97):

That certainly works for me. I'm guessing though as we journey, and assuming that such a large number will journey as an armed force, that Bugrem will be spending a lot of time in an advance force, scouting and reporting potential dangers. Baldin will generally be with the main force, encouraging and helping the main group to maintain their focus and morale. Maybe though we can get together and enjoy a few beer occasionally. After all it's always good to keep up with family

My computer has issues since the last windows security update so I will be slow until that's undone.

Out Of Character Discussion

In reply to Reizzok Stoneaxe (msg # 68):

I think Azer are short fire Elementals rather than actually dwarves. Fire genasi dwarves on the other hand would be descendents of dwarves and some kind of fire elemental or be affected by fire magic of some kind. Either way, no to Azers but yes to Fire Genasi dwarves

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

In regards to the Front line. Rase will always try to be at the forefront of every battle situation.

Much like he's doing now,his boredom equals forging ahead to relieve it.

Re: Out Of Character Discussion

I'd need a bit of help with the character sheet I fear. Finding what goes what in the tables in the code is really difficult right now as the cold rainy weather is giving me headaches and my eyesight is bad to begin with.

Sorry for the bother.

Out Of Character Discussion

Ok so I have managed to read through this thread, but I am behind in the Connection thread so will be working through that in the next couple of days.

First of all welcome to the game everybody I haven't personally welcomed already!

To answer people's questions about posting in the IC thread before character sheet approval, go right ahead as I will be working through them and it will take a couple of weeks to get everything resolved. I will make a game post soon and we will be officially kicking off the game, and moving into smaller groups for the initial location.

The posting rate will be once a week, on Sunday, but depending on my availability I will try and reply to everyone within 24 hours.  If you want a question definitely answered PM me as that's the easiest way for me to reply to specific things, as I may miss something in a game post or thread.

I have been asked about variant familiars conjured from the Find Familiar spell.  I'm going to look into it and have a definite answer within 48 hours.

I'm also going to remove players that don't reply to the game post by this time next week or let me know that they can't post for whatever reason before then.  I fully understand about life happening but I think one game post a week is manageable even with all life has to throw at you.  However you will always be welcome to join in the future but you will have to start a new character.

Finally I want to thank everyone for playing! I hope you all have fun! And if you aren't let me know via PM and I will try my best to fix it for you, no guarantees that it will work out but I will do my best.

Greetings all.  I'll be playing your second Barbarian from the last few of the free Clanholds left still clinging to the old ways in the Northeastern Mountains.  A Mercenary by trade.
