Cool! I'll be working on mine tonight. Thanks!

[spanningtree]

I'll get mine up also. Do you have a campaign ID for this game?

[sonofotho]

Just created one (still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles here!). Campaign ID is 163. Just out of curiosity, what is this used for?

[badams30]

I think it's just for reference. I've been a member of this board for a while, but never played anything on here. Been wanting to though.
the DF boards seem to be in a slow decline lately. Just my opinion. Quality of players is still good, but quantity seems to have faded out.

<Mod Hat>
The only thing the Campaign ID does is tag all rolls for characters with that same Campaign ID so you can easily search and pull up rolls for the campaign.

Go to this tab on the Dice Roller: http://www.unseenservant.com/Default.asp?do=search

There, you can search by campaign name or character name or... whatever.

It really serves no other function.

Great - thanks Alethan!

What are we doing for starting spells?

[sonofotho]

I have changed the starting magic a bit from the Yendo/Stonehell games (below from the House Rules). Do you still have the cantrip PDF that we used for Yendo?

Starting Spells: Magic‐Users start with Read Magic, one randomly selected spell, one spell chosen by the PC, and two randomly selected cantrips. Magic‐Users can cast their level +1 cantrips per day. Elves begin with one spell chosen by the player or two randomly selected spells. They also start with one randomly selected cantrip and can cast a number per day equal to their level.

Got it, thanks! I still have the cantrips doc you sent me a while ago. I went ahead and grabbed sleep for Leena and charm person for Ceran.

[sonofotho]

I must admit that I have already had thoughts about changing the magic rules a bit. What do you guys think about this instead?

- I'd like to use the AEC spell lists instead of the 'basic LL' list
- I'd like to change the starting spells to be as follows:

M-Us: Read Magic, 1 player selected and 2 random 1st level spells plus 2 random cantrips
Elves: 1 player selected and 1 random 1st level spells plus 1 random cantrip

Daily casting limits would be as it currently is spelled out. What do you think?

@Brandon - I will email you the cantrips pdf

[badams30]

That works for me. Thanks - got the PDF. I'll check it out today.

[sonofotho]

FYI- have updated the People & Places and Rumor & Leads thread....more to come

[spanningtree]

The starting magic rules look good to me.

[sonofotho]

Great! Have updated the House Rule section accordingly. So, starting spells are as follows (plus the ones you select):

Leena: Floating Disc, Manipulate Fire, plus cantrips Groan and Moan (interesting!)

Ceran: Read Magic, plus cantrip Knot

Finton: Hold Portal, Allure, plus cantrips Spill and Palm

[sonofotho]

Let me know when you guys will be up and running and ready to get started.

Not sure if I covered it before, but of course you will all start at max HP +/- Con. Please go ahead and add your XP bonuses for pic (50xp) and brief bio (50xp) incorporating the character generation info.

Any other questions?

[badams30]

I'll get mine up tonight - my internet was down last night just when I was getting ready. Ugh.

[spanningtree]

I think I'm good to. XP and spells updated.

[sonofotho]

Sounds good. Let me know spells prepared for the day. I have the opening post ready to go when you're ready!
