Adventure 1/Part 2 reflection: A much easier fight this time around. Of course this time we outnumbered our foe 5 to 1 instead of 5 to 4. Based on the rolls he had an AC of 16 whereas the door guardian from the last fight had 18. This guy also had the lower HP of the two and didn't hit nearly...

Adventure 1: Into The Night Part 2: Dungeons and Dhampirs The entrance hallway was fairly narrow, but not so much as to force them to walk in single file. The group plodded inside, tracking mud and rainwater over the expensive-looking, but already worn and faded old carpet. Ahead was what...

Ah, but in our case the focus actually is roleplaying and character development. That's how we handwave it to some of the more prejudiced NPCs is what I meant.

That seems to be pretty much how my current situation is going. The two party rogues, both women, are getting a bit close but closeness tends to get handwaved as a "she's my teammate/a fellow rogue" thing, or "she's saved my life more than once" (which both of us have done for the other).

Like... All of them secretly being the same 54 year old man on multiple accounts? Or do you mean all different 54 year old men, each masquerading as younger men and girls? :confused:

Ah true, I forget sometimes that people have inhibitions like that. In my current group all the guys are straight and all the girls are not, so I don't think anyone would have that particular problem trying to romance a character of mine.

Oh dear. XD Really though? So few people have seen romance in the game? My previous group, I'll admit, didn't do it much because we new somebody would be giggling all the way through someone else's confessions of love, but normally it seems to me like a pretty obvious thing to come up. The...

Monk 1 is still a decent dip though. A level of good saving throws, a bonus feat, the wisdom to AC bonus for unarmoured/unencumbered characters. I'll probably take the level at some point. Not right away though.

Yeah, in response to a lot of the above; I would agree that it would take both a very particular kind of group, and a certain kind of game to pull off. A group that puts roleplay first is my kind of group though. Bad guys and monsters are more of a method to cause tension and further roleplay...

Most of the time when I see people play a PC who is gay, or bisexual, or anything other than straight really, it's treated like a joke (which tends to upset me a little). Second most often, the PC is treated as totally open and comfortable about it. I don't think I've ever seen anyone play...

At my old group we had several cooks, but one who was very picky (and combined it with lots of food allergies). She wouldn't eat anything the rest of us made, but was happy to cook for the group each time, so she did so. At my current group, of which I'm the newest member, two or three people...

Alive and in jail is still alive. Besides, there's no chance that that's Thog and Roy's final confrontation (not nearly amazing enough) so it's practically guaranteed he'll survive and regain his freedom in order to return again.

I'm generally far too busy with partying to play on Halloween. It's my favourite holiday of the year and, fun as RPGs are, I have other stuff I'd rather be doing with friends on my favourite day.

Had this come up in a recent game. 5 PCs against one opponent who was standing just inside a doorframe at the entrance to a building (in other words it had 3 squares adjacent to it). The three PCs that actually stood some chance in melee combat took the front lines, and the sorcerer was still...

It came a little late, but you pretty much got it... I'd say case by case (or thread by thread as it is) basis. In most cases if a thread's long-dead enough I'll just start my own new one. If there was something really important in the old one I'd still more likely resort to linking the new one...

Just realized: Remember Elan and Nale's conversation about "The villain is never really dead unless you see the body (and half the time not even then)"? Roy just proved Elan right! The hero always thinks the villain is dead. Roy (and Belkar) just walked away from Thog, despite the fact that the...

Meh, too late. I already started, and I don't feel like approaching the DM with a "hey can I make some changes to my character" this early in. If you look in story hour you'll see the results of our adventure's first encounter. Namely me landing one good hit before getting smacked down to...

Adventure 1/Part 1 reflection: Wow, that was a rough start to the adventure! Knocked to -6 HP in the first encounter, and on a character who'd be dead at -8. Guess I'd better play more cautious... Even if it means passing up my chance to get that Sneak Attack at the beginning. I have to admit...

Adventure 1: Into The Night Part 1: Outside The countryside was dark, illuminated at frequent intervals by flashes of bright lightning. The heavy rain filled the air with the sound of water, and thunder boomed loudly soon after each bolt of lightning struck. Fay was out in this storm with no...

With my old group dissolved for the foreseeable future, I've had to find some new people to play with. Eventually I came across some people who seemed nice with one open spot they needed to fill. We're starting at 1st level with a party of 5, and going through a series of smaller adventures with...
