I looked at the Guardian too, it's pretty cool. One thing I noticed that I wasn't too sure of was the level 10 feature. You have to pick a creature to be your bonded charge, whom you must protect at all costs. But I guess In Velani's case that's no problem. She has Big Tony. :)

I think all of those options are good ones for Viator (except for Veiled Alliance - even re-flavored for a different secret society, it's not a great flavor fit for Viator). I think the Noble Adept power Adept's Insight is pretty sweet. I can just imagine imagine one of the other characters...

Yeah, there are lots of fun Themes to choose from. I am debating between Wizard's Apprentice (Freggo talks about his Wizard mentor often enough) and Chevalier, which seems to be the theme closest to a character trying to be a hero. I don't really like the horse-riding part of Chevalier though...

Freggo tries a jailbreak Freggo smiles as they discover another innocent to rescue. He thumps Viator on the back companionably. "There, you see, a prisoner just like the little-big guy said. We can't turn our backs on a prisoner when one is so near! But you're right, we need to go and...

Freggo tackles a terrible task Freggo grins from ear to ear at the sound of a click from the tile. "A prisoner is behind the door, you say, Big Tony? Then we've no time to lose!" Freggo stands on the now dim 'Vo' tile and then proceeds to the 'N' tile confidently. Somewhat less sure, he...

Freggo has a sweatdrop Freggo watches as the dangerous little creature reappears, confirming their suspicions that he is indeed the gnome they're looking for. The relief is replaced by an amiable but onerous awkwardness, as the gnome proceeds to wink way too many times at Velani. Freggo...

Freggo tries to call a truce Big Tony? Why would the object of our quest attack the heroes? Oh right... the sewer rats are villains, and this creature will know nothing of our discussion with Derek. "If indeed you are Big Tony, we have been sent to give aid to you. We have a deal with the...

Bit of friend advice, DM-to-DM. When a player wants to do something, the golden rule is always to say yes. The magic to maintaining control is an extra word... BUT. So you want to use history for knowledge of the realm? Yes, but the knowledge will not be current, and will also be limited...

Freggo thinks its a red herring "Ah, let's not forget that we know what happens if you step on these tiles... none of that quite yet I think..." Freggo indicates the smoldering remains of the needlefang drake that is half-on one of the tiles. "If we can't figure out any clues from the runes...

Freggo remembers to be polite "That did work rather well, didn't it? Kali, that was an inspired plan there! And Viator, that floating disc magic was wonderful! Great job all around! Now we can fulfill our terrible task in order to save the fair maiden!" Clearly Freggo has a generous...

Freggo pokes around Freggo will cautiously enter the room with sword bare, not stepping on any runes. He'll position himself near the doors on the right, keeping a wary eye on them should anything poke its head out. If the coast is clear, he'll wave his sword around and try to detect if there...

Qinik tries to make friends Qinik will nod amiably, leaning heavily on his staff and hobbling forward as bidden. "Ah yes indeed, just the sort of folk we need! Please, allow me to introduce myself! I am Qinik, a scholar of some repute, and I would very much like to make the acquaintance of...

Lots of win Wow, so much awesome! I'm loving these alternative encounters, and everyone's really doing a great job! The list is helping me already, I was able to stop worrying about all the details we haven't gotten to yet and just focus on the task at hand. I was definitely having trouble...

Freggo tries to spook the drakes While the others lure the beasts out, Freggo will go outside and start carving the ground. He will do his best to duplicate the grid and runes, not worrying about actually repeating the actual runes for fear of creating some fell magic he doesn't understand...

Building consensus in PBP Goonalan, I think you're doing a spectacular job so far, on par or better than other PBP DMs I've seen in my (admittedly limited) PBP experience. To sum things up and point to the decisions we need to make is exactly what we want. The trouble is that these are...

Woah... awesome! Totally missed a timely update! Thanks for pointing that out!

Unfortunately the only themes in the CB right now are Darksun themes (which you can only access by marking your character as a Darksun character). Not sure if more are scheduled to be added this month or not... I'm thinking not. That's why I tend to not want to mess with themes yet unless...

I'll make a Diplomacy check after we see how things are progressing. Please feel free to move things along faster, no need to wait for everyone. Folks are more likely to be engaged in a game with a faster pace so they remember what's going on. EDIT: I've also seen DMs specifically call out...

Freggo whispers a reply, "I can sense they are magic, but from this distance I doubt we'll be able to tell more. I'm guessing they're not there to summon forth a turkey dinner though, so be careful." Freggo adds the following, assuming Kali shares his plan: "I think Kali's idea is worth...

Freggo likes a good puzzle Freggo stays where he is, in case any of his friends want to try any fancy sneakiness. But he does put forth his sword and extend his magical senses toward the runes, seeing what he can sense. And those runes... do they mean anything or are they simple conduits for...
