OOC: This thread can be used for any exchanges using the Party Chat feature of Parties.

Please note that you have to speak the message verbally for Party Chat to pick up on it.

Also, Party Chat translates everything into text, so it will not capture nonverbal parts of communication, and may also miss some forms of exclamations, to the decision of the player writing.

Finally, if we ever have more than one party active at a given time, please ensure you don't mix up the way you share information. PCs can only use party chat on those in their party, not those in other parties.

OOC: In the future, also use this formatting. You can envision this screen as similar to a chatroom. In fact, all messages appear on this same window, unless you change parties. Lastly, anyone who has used party chat in a given party before will have it reopen for them whenever a new message is sent in that channel. The system doesn't spam you with a new alert screen each time.

As a ballpark, let's say about a dozen messages can fit on screen before your PCs have to scroll to find. This can be down with motion, verbal instruction or mental intent

Feel free to also choose a color for your messages, if you wish.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: hey folks? this seems to keep a log. maybe let's reserve this for important info?

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: for example, it seems that classes don't necessarily have the skills you used to unlock them, at least not at the beginning.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}:so far all my skills have had levels at 600-1200-2400. i think i only gain them if I'm focused on the task. braiding the rope while fiddling with the System screens didn't give me skills, but 5 minutes focused on the task gave me the craft skill. that's obviously still just a theory.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: stat gains seem to work differently.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: also, I think once I gained the craft skill, I learned that I can craft a vibe bone. a v i n e b ow. not high enough level yet though.

Player {Vladislav Chigrakov}: Much sorry. Did not realize was still on.

Player {Vladislav Chigrakov}: What numbers meaning, Arjun? Which screen shows?

Player {Otto Bruckner}: Hey! Trippy. Had a feeling the Party thing would come in handy. Good to know we have this option.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: i only look at the expanded sheet. it might be somewhere else too. that's how much experience I've needed to get to higher levels of Body Language. 2nd level took 600 xp. 3rd level took 1200xp. 4th level will take 2400xp. to me about hour anna half of constant signing to get that far. very tiring, not like reality.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}:thought I saw a skill that only took 400 xp for next level. don't see it after classing. anybody got a skill that's not 600, 1200, etc?

Player{Emily Korashandi}I don't think that's a skill. I believe it's 400 xp to my next huntsman level

Player {Dmitri Alvin Reslin}: If my latest ontology is correct, we will have to use objects to create "Regions" and then I can make Nodes in them. If my Soil Node works, we have a place to grow food once someone figures out how to make seeds. Water is another necessity, but I am willing to leave that to the mystical ones for now.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: Looks like I messed up the math before on skill levels. I think it's 600, 1200, 1800, 2400. And not every skill starts at 600, but that has been the most common for me so far.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: Post your preferred BASIC shadow weapon here, so I know what to make for people in a pinch.

Player {Otto Bruckner}: Ideally? A two handed axe, but I'll gladly take anything you think might qualify as a "Great Weapon", two handed club, etc..

Player{Emily Khorashandi}
I wonder whether the little hard things in the soil node are tubers of some kind?  I don't think they're stones so maybe.

I have my BASIC shadow weapon thank you, namely stones to go along with my sling.

Player {Vladislav Chigrakov}: Would preferring log, but is too big. So, sword?

PLAYER {Dmitri Alvin Reslin}: If there are shadow guns available, I'll take one. Otherwise, I guess I should get something like a dagger or machete.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: what part of "BASIC WEAPONS" did you not understand?!!? I can't even make a bow yet, I'm too low level.

PLAYER {Dmitri Alvin Reslin}: Hence the dagger or machete. Sorry for doing to you what the System is doing to me.

PLAYER {Dmitri Alvin Reslin}: Otto, what are you up to?

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: Team, I finally got a chance to figure out what those Market Coins are for. We can access a Market, but we have to earn enough to access the thing. But you can can take on Tasks and sell crafted goods to earn the Market Coins to do it. The two tasks I've seen are pretty innocuous."

Player {Emily Khorashandi} What tasks have you seen?  So far I haven't seen any.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: I'm going to get 5 Market Coins for sleeping through the night. Saleable goods seem to be priced based on Material Value, Effort, and Other factors. If it's not a Task, why are you dancing?

Player {Emily Khorashandi} I decided to craft a drum, to improve my crafting skill.  After that I decided to play the drum and to dance along with it because it seemed pointless to make it otherwise.  Finally, once I had the skill, I thought about why a shaman dances and thought I'd see if I could summon up a predator for the bugs, not by magic, which would be pointless with my level of mystic, but by entertaining the gods.

Player {Arjun Gandhi}: Interesting idea. Could be a Huntress class ability. I might try to riff off that idea.
