Re: Out-of-character chat
I'll go with whatever the group prefers. If we do our own, I presume you want them done via Unseen's die roller?
Re: Out-of-character chat
Absolutely! As a GM here I can attest for how much smoother and faster the game goes. There are some times when I roll just to move things along but player rolls are preferred.

Yes. Campaign ID is 610. This will give you access to the handy, tabbed character sheet as well.connivingsumo wrote:I presume you want them done via Unseen's die roller?

Re: Out-of-character chat
The Background information thread now includes a relatively brief synopsis of what's happened so far. You're welcome to go back and read the old game thread (all 41 pages of it) whenever you want, of course, but it isn't necessary.
We'll re-start in the next day or so. Looking forward to it...

I don't mind the GM rolling for Tasrem End.
Aren't starting over from where we left the game?

Re: Out-of-character chat
We are, but the pbp section of the Goblinoid Games forums is locked. That's why we're here at Unseen Servant. As luck would have it, I ran this very same adventure on this forum 4 years ago, and it petered out during the very same encounter. I still have access to that forum, so I deleted the old game threads, and here we are.

I think it's more a case of a DM fail than of anything wrong with the encounter, other than it being a lot of participants.greyarea wrote:We should report this to Zeb Cook as playtesting feedback.tumblingdice wrote:... and it petered out during the very same encounter.
Re: Out-of-character chat
ToniXX cast the "Raise Dead" spell appropriately I see!

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Re: Out-of-character chat
It was good to read up / refresh on the combat we were in the middle of! Thanks for the link.
I didn't realize I hadn't given Roikos his 10%XP bonus ~ or did you say NOT to use/do that? I can't remember.
For some reason Roikos has no sling/bullets, which is odd; anyway, I'm saying now he wants to construct one and find some stones, or buy one when we're near a merchant.
I think the Roikos character sheet is about ready to go.

Re: Out-of-character chat
Rik, XP bonuses for prime requisites are in effect. You'll apply that bonus to any XP earned during the adventure. The bonus doesn't apply to your starting XP. Make sense?
We'll see about getting you a sling. You won't be seeing civilization again for some time--if ever--but maybe you'll run into a friendly merchant caravan. Failing that, you could always improvise a sling using Aristide's Speedo...
This just in: The Master and his forces have all surrendered. Unconditionally.

Yes it does. I'll reverse the adjustment on my character sheet.tumblingdice wrote:Rik, XP bonuses for prime requisites are in effect. You'll apply that bonus to any XP earned during the adventure. The bonus doesn't apply to your starting XP. Make sense?
For sure, I was thinking finding 20 or so semi-smooth stones, and using an old bandage/sock/strip of cloth would do just fine for that whopping d4 Dmg. Although, using Aristide's Speedo is an interesting thought; do you think he would miss it? I'll go ahead and update my character sheet with the make-shift sling & stones.tumblingdice wrote:We'll see about getting you a sling.

Which Master & Forces? I re-read the thread, but only recall "Tiger-guy" and some Orcies.tumblingdice wrote:This just in: The Master and his forces have all surrendered. Unconditionally.

Re: Out-of-character chat
Also, I looked through the combat thread (from Goblinoid) and it looked like we were rested up & Roikos had only used Flame Strike; however, I didn't go back too far. Does this sound right to you, DM? My character sheet has Flame Strike marked as 'used' but I'll make any other adjustments I might be missing.

Re: Out-of-character chat
Rik, the Master is the chief antagonist of this adventure, and despite the deployment of Aristide's Speedo, has not actually surrendered. I was speaking in jest.
Flamestrike is the only spell Roikos has used today. Also, you may add a sling and stones to your inventory, after the fight is over. Only Harry Potter can summon a weapon out of nowhere in the middle of a battle.

Re: Out-of-character chat
Since Rik asked about the Master:
A good movie introduces the villain up front, but because an RPG game is not a movie, the old game thread has a cutaway scene introducing the Master and his crazy sidekick Alrethus.
My plan is to post combat round 4 tonight. Just a few more dice rolls...

Sheet posted. I am fine doing my own rolls, but either way is okay.
