I beleive that we have a warlord. We shall see if he comes up with something, but he is interested, and I have told him to get to work on a character. Probably a few more days.

I would also be willing to take the warlord role, if your other victim volunteer doesn't pan out. I would be especially interested if you're willing to allow the Resourceful Presence and accompanying powers from Martial Power.

 

[PrecociousApprentice]

I am willing to use just about anything, you will just have to tell me what the rules are.

I'm back from a joyous day full of hitting people with padded sticks. Are we waiting to move the IG end of things forward until our warlord recruitment is completed? It seems like that is going well. Do we want to put up an RG thread while we're waiting? It seemed like things were moving quite quickly- but it slowed down an awful lot during our 'game location' discussion.

I'm not trying to be pushy (I know that electronic communication makes it hard to convey tone/emotion well), but it is often very important to maintain forward momentum, especially during the early stages of a game (ie. getting people hooked).

Weekends are usually slow. The pace of this thread is really fast, even the 'slow' times. Sit tight, pathfinder, with a post-a-day pace, once the IC thread goes up we'll have more than enough to do.

There should be a big thud in momentum across the boards with Thanksgiving coming up in the States too. So, be warned.

 

[pathfinderq1]

Please try to think of it less as "impatient", and more as "I'm making it known that I'm still interested, and I feel kind of bad that my commentary regarding board location seems to have slammed things to a halt". As I said, it can be difficult to convey tone in this medium. And I know things are in the process of holiday slowdown- I expect my own posting rate to drop a bit for a few days, and I'd be surprised if others weren't also affected.

 

[Sparky]

Well, I disagree that your post regarding where we play has anything to do with any percieved slowdown. I do think you're feeling guilty for stomping on our new DMs cherished and closely held dreams. There WAS a lull in this thread between when the original lot of you finished world building and started working on your character homework. But, as I said, a lull in this thread is like, a whole afternoon where someone doesn't post. Don't beat yourself up.

 

[PrecociousApprentice]

Yeah, it's all fine. I was a little carried away with the early excitement, especially waiting on you guys to get character concepts going. I was impatient, and it turns out that I went overboard. No problem, I am back on track. We are going to have to wait a little for the last recruitment effort, and I expect that Thanksgiving will slow things, and I have finals in pharmacology, cardiology, respiratory, urinary, introduction to clinical medicine, and ethics here over the next few weeks, and I expect others to be in similar positions. We just have to get things going so that the excitement doesn't die. Once we have gotten things going, I expect that things will be easy to maintain. Just this last little bit before we can actually play. Would you feel better if I transfered what we have on the blog over to here, even though we aren't really ready to play yet?

I would like that.

I’m still interested and still considering warlord, as I PMed PrecociousApprentice.
I do need a few day to get the detailed background requested. A RG where I could see the other characters backgrounds would help with mashing my character with the rest, as well as help inspire my creativity and speed me up.​

As a preliminary concept I’m considering an inspiring warlord with a stroke of temper. A man who is quick to anger but just as quick calm down. A reskinned dargonborn to represent inner strength, perhaps due to a trace of the old people blood in his family.



Not sure how to handle dragonbreath however as it seem to much of an overt power rather then inner strength. Perhaps reskin it as flashy sword play, or drop the power and trade it for dragonborn frenzy (dargonborn racial feat, +2 to damage when bloodied) if that is acceptable by PA.
