Sorry!

Read the other stuff to tide you over for now.

[Bluehorse]

I will try to get an update posted later today or tonight.

Slacker.

[OGRE MAGE]

Please do not post more than one action per round after I call for actions.

Especially if they are two separate actions. It is confusing enough to follow a dozen players, we don't need to add to it.

I deleted the two players second posts to prevent future conflict.

[OGRE MAGE]

(next round, I assume?).

Correct.

Jack, the thwarted pirate:



OM, if this is too anachronistic, let me know and I'll delete the images in this spoiler.

Well lets see......
its in a spoiler? Check
It made me laugh? Check.

I think you're good.

[Bluehorse]

Im really likeing jack!

OM... i assume Monocar is pretty much tied up this round, correct?

[Inferno]

Thanks.

LOVE for Calvin!

Group Size:

I want to limit the size of starting groups to six members. I feel like the action becomes bogged down by too much unnecessary confusion when groups have too many members.

There may be exceptions to this rule somewhere down the line, but for now let's keep groups to 6 or less members.

Thanks!

So there are 12 of us. Six seems too few for an old school party to me. If 1-2 PCs from one group die, we're up a creek. But if we must make two groups, how about:

Group 1:
Human Fighter
Fighter/cleric
Fighter/magic-user
Druid
Thief
Magic-user

Group 2:
Ranger
Cleric/magic-user
Magic-user/thief
Fighter/illusionist
Thief
Dwarf Fighter


All classes represented as evenly as possible. One nature type per group.

Just getting the discussion started. Open to all suggestions.

Thoughts?

[tkrexx]

I don't think it could be split up any more even than this.

I was simply trying to prevent one team taking 8 or 9 players and leaving the less desirables out in the cold. (I'm sure we can all remember picking teams in gym class. )

There are still at least three players that have expressed interest in making a character for this game, so there will be some fresh meat coming along eventually.

[Scott308]

Yeah, but the difference here is the character that wouldn't get picked in gym class is the mage who will one day be throwing fireballs around willy-nilly.

So you'll lift the limit on group size? Great.

[OGRE MAGE]

Ummmm.
No.

[Inferno]

So we'll have three parties of 6, 6 and 3?
Or three parties of 5 each?
Or two parties of 6, and 3 waitlisted folks?

Sorry if I'm being obtuse.

Can we cross that bridge when we come to it?

Or do you need to know now for some reason?

[Jernau35]

Seems like a reasonable split. If Bonnie goes with group 1 and Lightfinger goes with group 2, there will be 4 characters in each group with infravision.

[Bluehorse]

The ever enthusiastic Monocar will go with anyone but is already partial to his half orc friend, Luther, and Jack.

[Storm11]

Saracen is happy with whatever split.

[Inferno]

OM: just trying to figure out if we're making two teams of 6 now, or if we should wait a week and make three teams of 5 or two teams of 7 and 8, or something else. Hard to plan without knowing (see below). Or would you prefer we hold off on planning for now? If so, sorry I jumped the gun on you.

Jernau: good point!

Bluehorse: Hmm. That would put 4 fighters on one team and 2 fighters on the other. If/when the others join, if they include a fighter, maybe we could swing this depending on party size.

[ChubbyPixie]

Chauncey can be in a group by himself, if that helps. He's that good.

Just ask him.
