Old-school dungeon crawl using 5e playtest rules

[Kobold Stew]

My idea is that for the moment you can play Swift who has already been introduced into the group, and if WarrenLaFrance comes back to play we can discuss together what to do.

By the way, everyone please know that I have an exceptional amount of RL duties until the 26th of November, so don't be discouraged by the fact that I have been posting so slowly... the game keeps going as long as the players keep playing!

Apologies, Li Shenron -- I posted on the other thread an opinion before I read this one; my point there might be moot. In any case, I'm not meaning to step on toes, and certainly not to gainsay your position here.

That's ok! I asked Leif in PMs if he was interested in playing Swift because WarrenLaFrance hasn't responded to whether he is still playing, and so this way we don't have to come up with another idea about meeting someone new in the middle of the dungeon. But I didn't want to force him into this arrangement...

It's fine by me!

Great! Welcome!

Welcome aboard Leif.

...

Do we -have- a Rogue's Gallery? I looked over on the Character forum but didn't see one.

Sorta ... it's set up as an ENWorld 'Group' called Dungeon Raiders, and it is here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/group.php?groupid=386 [There's a link to it in 'My Communitites' over to the left, there, <---, the icon that looks like a gnoll, sorta, third from the left, but I see that you already have it in your own Communities. The RG is the only Group Discussion that we have so far.]

And, thanks!

 

[Shayuri]

Hm, crazy! Thanks for pointing this out to me, Leif. Somewhere in the hurly-burly I missed it. Looks like Li posted my sheet in there himself...but it's still the old version of it. I went ahead and posted Sulannus as well, so I can edit it as we level and keep it up to date.

Li, you can delete your version of the sheet if you like. Sorry I missed that until now.

Thanks, Leif!

;-) YW!

See, that's how I found this game -- I was looking for groups to join and came across Dungeon Raiders.

"Bartleby is astounded at the reluctance of his colleagues to engage with the foes that moments before they were so brave to face"
"Aeiyan is disappointed that his companions don't even try to use any tactics in this case"
"he looks toward the supposed tactician, Rejik, for guidance"

Guys, can we cut the snark? It's happened before and I resisted saying anything then. If it's RP, then please deploy it in such a way as the PC's, who can't read each-other's minds (yet!), can respond to it.

Shayuri is inclined to agree with Wedgeski on this. Although it's often useful to have a window into a character's internal monologue, for characterization's sake, it can sometimes come off as being a passive-aggressive snipe at a player or players' decisions rather than just an insight into the private mind of the character. In this case for example, one might have written, 'Bartlesby decides that the others are being too timid for his liking, and boldly strides in, swinging his mighty walloper!' Or something similar. That conveys a similar in-character insight, without the insinuation of judgment that the post as written had.

Shayuri is also quick to note that this opinion is in no way intended to censor anyone, or even pick unfairly on Bartlesby or his player. He's sure that Kobold Stew had no intention of coming off that way. Ideally this would be seen as an attempt at constructive criticism and communication that we can all benefit from...if anyone had the magic power to read Shayuri's mind and know he was thinking all this.

But you don't. So ha.
