    Deuce Traveler's Sewer Rats

    Chernguk eyeballs Pickwick suspiciously as he seems to grow fond of the large gem he is holding. "Remember Pick, we need that to do our job..."

    Deuce Traveler's Sewer Rats

    "Are we expected to run into much resistance? Should we be fast or sneaky? Or both?" Chernguk gurgles thoughtfully, sliding his heavily calloused finger along the flat of a throwing axe attached to his belt.

    Empty Rooms, and what do they mean?

    I don't really ever build dungeons or castles or encounter maps that don't actually have a real, in-game, in-setting purpose. For example, I wouldn't build a castle strictly for the players to explore and wonder what went into all of these rooms, I build a castle that has a history and past and...

    Deuce Traveler's Sewer Rats

    Chernguk grumbles something coarse and nearly inaudible in goblin about ugly bald dwarves.

    Pathfinder Evil Game Group 1 OOC/closed

    Yeah, Gandalf wanted smaller parties due to our higher level I think. But, if Warlock drops out maybe we should open it back up. So Kaodi, why would a lawful evil monk be partnering up with a necromancer and a crazy bombing alchemist?

    Deuce Traveler's Sewer Rats

    Chernguk presses his thin lips into an eerie smile, and blinks his eyes slowly as he dips his head to Artemesia. Once Needles speaks, his attention is brought to the aspect of mutating like the rat, his eyes darting back and forth between the rat and his own hands, inspecting them as if...

    Spending character generation currency on complexity

    Forgive me Quickleaf for the slow response, I didn't see you had asked me a direct question. I will do my best to explain how the tactics vs complexity scale works in OMEN. At the baseline, a character picks a species which has several advantages and disadvantages, some of which apply a...

    So, who else are we waiting for to post up? Warlock?

    Deuce Traveler's Sewer Rats

    Chernguk licked his cracked lips, squinting with discomfort at the amount of light in the room. He flicked his eyes up to the large chessboards, and then around the room to the various items that adorn it. In a quiet but somewhat gurgling voice, Chernguk asks "Mistress Boss Lady, what can we...

    Pathfinder Evil Game Group 1 OOC/closed

    Just posted it up. I think it would be more interesting for both of us to be in the same world, doing different things. We might bump into each other or not, but I'm really open to anything. I just think that sounds fun. Kaodi, go ahead and look him over if you'd like, it has been a while...

    Spending character generation currency on complexity

    Celebrim, I've xp'd you too recently, but excellent post. The system is really more of an influential suggestion, but I think the perception of the meta-system is very important, both in the way the system itself is presented, as well as the setting that the system takes place in. If anyone...

    Using magic to make money

    I built a character who dappled across multiple games and multiple settings (due to him being a group favorite) who was an artificer/rogue, who ran various money-making rackets. He had a mobile store from his mobile artifice workshop (it was in a very high-magic game) that allowed him to sell...

    Spending character generation currency on complexity

    Crazy Jerome that sounds nice, but that is a hack job solution (or needs to be incorporated and enforceable in the system) which is already tacked on to 4e and other d20 systems. It is more like a DM tool than a system design which naturally creates fast combat that still applies the complexity...

    Pathfinder Evil Game Group 1 OOC/closed

    Just out of curiosity Gandalf, are the two groups interacting in any way, or are we running the same campaign? It'd be interesting to see either way, but there might be potential speed/spoiler issues.

    Deuce Traveler's Sewer Rats [RECRUITING 1 PLAYER]

    Awesome, I've updated Chernguk and am ready to go. Let's clean some sewers!

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    I think it would be more plausible for my character to protect and escort this other character, who is not an outwardly combatant (if I am understanding correctly) but still integral to my nation's purposes. Or, we could simply be assigned together as "partners" or somesuch that makes sense...

    Spending character generation currency on complexity

    This is a very interesting concept, although the problem then still becomes economy of actions, relevance to the encounter or obstacle, and the amount of involvement of that obstacle. If everybody is incredibly varied in their scope as well as iterative focus in different areas, the GM will...

    The Great Crusade (game is running, always looking for more players)

    Well, we should be focused on seeking out The Great Hunt. So, perhaps you are the best of your assassin order and are sent out as their representative (even a covert one) for the God Emperor.
