hi there

glad to have a fighter to protect my weak butt.....being a sorcerer I'm not great in combat but my faithful dog Lady has a bite worse than her bark :)

Half-Orc Viking Barbarian here.

Good news. I purchased the Monster Guide and Companion which both will help in adventures. The companion does have some extra rules but not really. It does talk more about gods, religions and even places which is nice.

Also does anyone else want to do a prelude for their character? You get a free benny by explaining how you came to the town. Otherwise, it will be the typical RPG affair.

Oh I thought that was the experimental scene. An interlude. I can see about that tomorrow maybe.

Edit: Also, Morton seems (or pretends) to be pretty bloodthirsty, lol.

Yeah I'll work on one

Prelude will be used for the adventure. Experimental is not. It's more of a time waster while others are doing their thing and creating their characters.

Speaking of which. I am about to go through private messages and see if I have any other characters completed.

So question for the players. Right now we have a total of six players who have submitted sheets. I have another two asking to join the game. The only one I think this could happen is to split up the groups into two which could be interesting. My only issue with this is if we were to do a cross over it wouldn't make sense if I ran the same adventure with the new players.

On the plus side I would be able to have extra seats which could help when/if players drop out of the game which is bound to happen to some extent.

What say you? Bigger group of six with lurkers.

or two groups of four same adventure different teams.

It's up to you, but I always assume 1/4 to 1/3 of players are going to ghost within 2 weeks, and 1/2 or more within 2 months and I'm usually right lol

Gotta say I agree with these statement. I think Lurkers might be the best way but I know we have some experienced players currently in the game so I would love to hear their feedback.

I plan on ghosting in 2 weeks!

Lol, I'm totally kidding. I hate that.

And really? If would be up to you if you think you can handle 2 groups and WANT to, then great. But otherwise, yeah people waiting in the wings for dropouts/ghosters is not a bad idea.

As others have said two groups if you can manage it or one with lurkers if not.

If you run two groups I'd run two separate adventures not the same one. If you get drop outs in one group you can merge them together if they were playing different adventures easier than if they were playing the same adventure.

For example if you had 2 groups of 4 and one group was moving faster than the other but then lost 2 player and you merged them those two player might be ahead of the other group in the adventure and thus know more or already encountered things thus making the merge complicated.
But if they were doing different adventures you get more control over the smoothness of the merge and how they get together.

Sorry hope that makes sense it's 2:30 am here and I'm still half asleep going back to bed night night

Good news! The cast is filled. We still have two lurkers who I believe would like to get in so overall this game appears to be popular so far.

I will keep the experimental on the side as it's just for fun and doesn't affect the current story/scenario. Maybe it will turn into a side adventure or something fun that could roll into the current adventure later. That way if we have some slow periods we can have some fun without ruining everyone's story.

Once the interludes are done, we can continue. Nothing grand or major is needed. Just a paragraph or two as to why you came to town. I have a few ideas *wink, wink* that would work nicely if you are short on ideas.

You gain an extra benny for doing it...so it never hurts to have more.

Hello, all. Your Gnome Ranger here.

Hi there welcome on board

Cloistered temple Monk here. More academic than martial.

Description updated and for the GM, character sheet is up with Advancement Track added.

Welcome!

Hm trying to decide between portraits. The one I had was a bit ugly lol.

Heh, I can already see Serafina and Camara having some delicate conversations outside earshot of certain persons

One inspiration for this was the scene in the first Suicide Squad where Harley Quinn just strips and puts on her costume in front of everyone. The only difference is after the fact, Camara wouldn't be confused as to why everyone is staring. She would realize she had committed a social faux pax and get that secondhand embarrassment.

There would be no embarrassment for Jackdaw. Where he comes from, people aren't really shy, lol.

While I doubt there would be embarrassment, there might be leering.

Leering is such a strong word. Appreciative glancing or looking, maybe. =)

Appreciating...right...

If that's your story, stick to it.
