Preserved Topic: RPG - Starting a new campaign V (Page 2 of 3)

I'm feeling better. Are we playing tomarrow?

Today for me and Suho now...10:00 PM for me and I think 8:00 PM for him, althought it's actually 9 and 7 since we're going ot be there early.

tiki: glad to hear you're feeling better!

Skaarjj: You're right, I can't fully comprehend how scary that is, but I definitely feel for you. I can imagine what it would be like, and I imagine it must be terrifying.

Cool, then, so I'll have to make sure to eat dinner a little earlier than usual (OK, a lot earlier than usual). See you guys then.

So...thought I'd bump this up...when are we playing again? That last session was a blast!

When we finally got to play it

DNS server errors plagued our game on saturday, so we eventually gave up without ever having had the opportunity to declare the session open. We tried again on sunday night, and then one went much more smoothly. No WebShaman clones popped up to plague us...no one got disconnected, and we had a great 2 1/2 hours of game time.

Many character developments, including Indemar showing one of his major fears

A good session all-round...glad to have played it.

If we can swing it we may want to try for another session sometime during this week, since we have the Dragonhunt campaign on satuday...or we may want to try doing Dragonhunt saturday and this campaign on sunday...whaddaya think?

BTW: Here's an article on the DNS errors that plagued us...a huge DDoS attack on the root name servers

I don't have any major plans for this weekend. The only time I can play during the week is at GMT 0600ish at Thursday, or sometime after GMT 1600 any other day...

I'm ready any time during the weekend. If you want to play the Dragonhunt at the same time as this last session -- 1100 GMT -- I can handle that.

I'm up for that...

I'm down with that

So what is happening this weekend? WS's prologue part 2 at GMT 1100?

_________________________

Skaarjj suggested playing V's campaign at 1100 GMT this Sunday. I would be cool with that. I could also swing this time during the week, but this would be in the middle of the day for WS (when he's at work) and early morning for tiki (who would also have to go to work).

So, anyway, Dragonhunt on Saturday, V's campaign on Sunday? How does this sit with everyone?

Sounds good

No. Not a good idea...I wouldn't be able to make one of those dates, I'm afraid...

Just the prologue on Saturday, then?

OK, well, whatever you guys want to do is fine. I'll most likely be gone from tomorrow to Sunday afternoon (lunar new year), so you guys figure out how it's going to go and I'll check up on it when I get home. Sunday is good for me, so if you guys want to play, cool. If not, that's cool too. Well, maybe slightly less cool, but that's OK.

I'm up for whatever time really....I've had a bad case of insomnia realy...so when I do sleep I generally sleep to WS's timetable....I said the latest I can do things is GMT 1500...but usually right now I don't get ot sleep until GMT 1900...so I can do it a bit later if need be.

Actually, I think it is fair, for me to play PT's campaign this weekend...

Sorry, but we played last weekend in V's campaign...

No problem for me at least. It suits me pretty good actually, since I wouldn't be able to play on Saturday morning anyhow (Goth party on friday night ) and a couple of friends want to start an Ars Magica campaign on Sunday...

V, you crazy goth freak!

*power word: bump*

When are we playing next time? There is a 'beginner's capoeria workshop' the coming weekend (8th and 9th) that I have to attend, so I can't play this weekend... But I don't have anything planned for the following weekend, so that would work for me.

V, you crazy Brazilian martial arts freak!

Oh, um, not sure about the week after next. I'll have to check on that.

hehe... I'm a crazy gothic Brazilian martial arts freak, no wonder I feel special

Well, whatever weekend you don't play on, I'll suggest the final segment of WS's Dragonhunt prologue. This last session was just demon-bashing (yeah, I know, paladins are SO holy-centric in their outlook) -- things get a lot more interesting right after the point where we stopped.

[Being stupid]
Go Zan Icarus!

BURNING WAVE!!

my god...sounds like a bad japanese cartoon.

maybe DBZ
[/being stupid]

Thank you.

*Slaps Skaarjj*

Come out of it! That's it...ease up....ease up....

And put that stick down...Quick, Master Suho...get that chair ready...maximum voltage!

Hey, hey, he's got the right idea... all the "secret techniques" are supposed to sound like something out of a Japanese cartoon or a video game. Burning Wave, Gates of Heaven... the trick is to bury the style deep in a game-world shell. I want everything to make sense together, to feel organic. So the Church of Kahan has moves called "Dark Shackles," "Black Gate," and "Crumbling Future..." but they come from a verse in their scripture:

quote:

---

Your longing for the past, and your fear of the future, are the dark shackles that bind you to the hollow ground. Every passing second is a black gate: until you hurtle through, you cannot see the other side. You waste the present, forever building a shaky bridge to a crumbling future.

---

The only way I could truly enjoy putting in a ton of video game references (two in the previous quote, by the way, call 'em if you see 'em) is if they're completely integrated into the game world.

Oh, and Master Suho might be able to give you some tips on Explodist magic, Dannyl -- one of the guild's custom spells is called "Exploding Thunder." (1d6/level damage up to 10d6, 5m radius, knocks each victim 2m away from the point of impact; damage and knockback halved by Reflex save)

Wow, sounds like you guys have some cool moves in that campaign. Telana's best moves are heal-the-bleeding-warriors, unleash-holy-fury-on-bad-guys, get-shot-with-crossbow-bolt-and-almost-die... you know, the basic stuff.

Suho & Skaarjj: rather than clutter up your game's thread, I've responded in the last post here.

Not only am I bumping this up...but here is my new Min

Anybody else want a new Min? Let me know...

Great work WS!

If you want to I'm sure some of the bad guys would appriciate a new look...

_________________________

Which bad guys, V? Give me a list...

Was thinking of orcs, kobolds and skeletons to start of with. A basic 'bad human' mini might be nice as well.

If you create them I can then alter them somewhat to distinguise the special characters of each race when we need that and use your minis for the standard people/monsters...

Who's up for playing this weekend? (Beginning with WebShaman and working outward from there; although if WS can't make it, yet Skaarjj and Tiki can, we can do Tiki's prologue.) I've got my schedule clear for the same time as last weekend; or I can do pretty much whatever.

Robot roll call!

edit: Oh, and WebShaman, if you haven't had a chance yet to study the churches of the four archangels and archdemons on the religion page, see if you can find a moment. There's only a paragraph or two on each of those eight churches, and it'll enhance your understanding of what happens in the riveting (I hope) conclusion of your prologue.

double edit: Just looked at the page, and there's a bit more to it than I remembered. ^_^ The only essential reading is everything starting with "The Church of $patron". The rest of it, though informational and possibly useful, isn't as essential to your understanding of upcoming events.

Well, I'll be making my debut appearance as an NPC... that should be fun.

WS: Great min!

I'll be there...but i can only stay until GMT1330

Ok, V, I'll get to work on them immediately.

As for this weekend, I have no time...damn! Sorry, guys.

Well, perhaps we're lucky and Tikigod can play from 1100 to 1330? We could make a little start on his prologue, which has been carefully simplified for rapid play.

The weekend after this one, my best friend is visiting from California; he's planning to propose to his long-time girlfriend on Valentine's Day, and I've been hand-picked to organize the festivities. So no Dragonhunt next weekend.

WS: Perhaps you'd have an odd hour here or there during the week to try wrapping up your prologue? Just a suggestion.

Unfortunately not...I have my daughter for the weekend, and my wife has emergency duty as well...my personal time is zilch.

edit: Meant to post this in the Dragonhunt thread, and post a link. So here it is! Cross-thread madness!
