Preserved Topic: Peanut gallery for RPG - Starting a new campaign.

Ok folks! I created this so that people could comment, etc on our running RPG game. Tiki 8or V) will be posting our 'game progress' after every gaming session...and here is the place to comment on it, etc. Please do not post in the RPG - Starting a new campaign threads unless you are playing...post here, instead.

Maybe it's just me, but I would imagine that the rest of the Asylum couldn't give a flying rat turd about our campaign...

I guess we'll find out.




Cell 270

I don't give a flying rat turd about yer campaign!

See! I told you so!

(Actually, Michael's just sore that I don't have a microphone...)

V's having connection trouble so here's a link to the first Journal:

http://www.p-design.net/dnd/session1.html

***flings rat turds at Suho***

If it's flying, it probably is not a rat turd, but maybe a bat turd...

Actually I'm kinda interested in seeing what happens.

Nicely done, tiki... I've considered writing a journal from Telana's point of view... but I'm not going to let you guys see it, at least not just yet...

*flings rat turds in the air*

See, Moth, now they're flying.

Actually I can't take credit for that, I just posted link because Venficuz was having connection problems. He is the author.


-tiki, cell 478

Cool...I tried saving everythinhg we said, but it didn't quite work out right.

The Journal is great!!

Can't wait to see how it grows...

Skaarjj: Veneficuz put up the log on his server... if you can get the url from him you can download it from there.

That there journal sure is pretty cool, definately keeping them around

I'll keep the journals coming after each session. When we have gotten further into the campaign I might rewrite it into more of a story as well. As it is now it isn't written as good as I feel it can be...

For those of you who want to read the log it is at http://www.p-design.net/dnd/session01/ . Just remeber that your character doesn't know everything

Suho: has anyone ever told you that you play a female character really well. Even my sisters were convinced that you were a woman. Well done!

Skaarjj: really? Wow... you don't know how happy I am to hear that. I'll be honest with you, I was actually quite worried about how I would do. Anyway, thanks for sharing that--you just made my day!

Just don't forget to outfit her correctly...the fighting bra is a must!

Seriously, well done...

I like how Tiki played his character, as well...

That's better...this is where snide comments belong.

For those who don't know...Luxo originally posted this in *gasp* the Campaign Players Thread

I mean OMG! Excuse me for stepping on everyone's toes
I mean that was a close one!....the world could have exploded and the universe imploded in on itself.

Yes, we barely avoided a rift in the space-time continuum there... that was a close one.

Well, that was another succesful day yesterday. We finally got into the temple, and started scouting. The biggest triumph of hte day was to get a minatures and map working. BTW: Hats off to Ven, who has created a great looking map for a us to play on, reminds me of the Super Nintendo version of Zelda. Our characters still ahve some issues to resolve, including differences in ethics, Gods, languages and eating habits. The journal will hopefully be up soon, and then you can look at our valiant struggle to get all of our minatures working.

Sorry for taking so long with the journal, but after the session yesterday I didn't have any time left to start working on it. But now it is finally finnished link: http://www.p-design.net/dnd/session2.html

[edit: fixed a couple of typos and added the link]

Yup. It was a great 'experience' for us all...

Getting the map to work was great...and the test combat after the session went well...until that darned orc barbarian came along...

Combat is great! I killed two orcs, before going down...hehe...

Hmm... and who was that that said "Save your healing spells for the others, I'm a war machine?"

Hehe....

Save your 'healing spells' for your computer

That orc barbarian would have ate you for breakfast...*Burp!*

Probably. But you're missing the point, my beefy friend. With my spells and your 30-pound device of pain, we might have given him a run for his money...

Then again, maybe not. I wouldn't really know since I wasn't there...

Hmm... I haven't checked out the log yet (in my haste to leave, I forgot to save the log... again). Does it have the battle in it, too? Better check that out.

[Edit: No battle... sigh. I guess it was just the official campaign log...

Hey V, not that it makes much of a difference, but I could've sworn those were silver pieces... ]

okay once again: what do you play and how can i join?

-THE SPACE-

I think you are right I'll change it in a minute or two.. the gamelog has also been uploaded to http://www.p-design.net/dnd/sessions for those who are interested

mas: the campaign is set on hold until December 16th because tiki and ws are out exploring the real world. In the time between we could play, just not on the campaign. If we decide to do this, feel free to join the fun

and it has now been set on hold for even longer becuase Master SUho is going on Hoidays on the 16th, and I also won't be available over New Years, as I'm going to be at a week long party...woo...

for my reaction to this news, please read my latest post in the Campaign Thread

Power word Bump!

Master Suho is back...the game can continue!

On another note *bump!*

Who would like to go with 50 x 100 graphics? Master Suho found out that OpenRPG supports full .PNG support...and that got me thinking...mins with 50 x 50 are really small for detail...but 50 x 100 is much better. However, the concerns of the map do come to mind...any opinions on this? With 50 x 100 and with full .PNG support, one could make nice mins...there are some even available in the OpenRPG archives, that are 50 x 100...and they look great! See here for examples...

[This message has been edited by WebShaman (edited 01-20-2003).]

While I agree that 50x100 mins would definitely look better, that would require a 100x100 grid--and if we used a grid that big I'd be forced to shrink it back down so I could see what was going on.

I'll be honest with you: while it would be nice to have nice-looking mins, I'll be happy as long as everyone can figure out who is who. I wouldn't even object to simply using colored dots. Takes away a bit of the fun, yes, but it's really just a minor detail.

Then again, if everyone wants to go with 50x100 mins, that's cool too. I'll just shrink everything back down again.
