    [PBP] The Port Opal Underground - OOC Thread

    No problem, Toric. I look forward to reading it. Well, I'm glad to say that I'm on my way to finishing the introductory phase of the campaign. All I need now is to tie everyone's characters together in some way, but that doesn't seem like it will be prohibitively difficult at all. So, I'm...

    Stuff that works (or doesn't work) better in PBP than RL

    I think one of the greatest benefits of a PBP game is the higher level of focus the game takes on. Getting off task is fairly difficult in a digital medium like a message board, or even mIRC. This has been one of the most ... prevalent problems that I've encounter around the table, and I'm...

    Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the sexiest FEMALE iconic of them all?

    I suppose I don't need to say it, but Claudio did an excellent job on Ember... but of course, I think he could improve upon a lot of things... :) Anyway, I voted for 'Other' because my favourite piece of artwork -- beside that of the Phoenix in MM2 -- is the Psion Alexandra on page 34 of the...

    Krug, I received your character. All I saw was a bit of the confusion with the use of the Toughness feat. I think I explained it in the replying e-mail, but if there's any more problems just message me back. Thanks, :cool: - Rep.

    I received your character, Toric, and it seems fine to me. I would caution you by saying that it will be difficult to transport your Urgosh within the city if you don't have a permit -- or are a member of the militia or town guard. (But that would be a neat goal in and of itself... "Corruption...

    Dwarves with crossbows

    That's another thing about dwarves that I've never gotten: Why the attachment to axes? Being native to a cramped environment, you'd think that they dwarves would utilize thrusting weapons like spears and short-swords. I've no problem associating Roman Legionaire type arms and armour for a dwarf...

    [PBP] The Port Opal Underground - OOC Thread

    I must have forgotten to mention it in any detail... My apologies! The campaign will begin on the continent of Vanaria, the origin of gnomes, haflings, dwarves, elves and humans. It's currently ruled by an Empire dominated by the Imperial Askarans, an ethnicity of humans not unlike our own...

    You can use any of the following for character creation: - The Player's Handbook - The Official Classbooks House Rules - The Skill Focus gives a +3 Bonus to the chosen skill and it's always considered a class skill. - If you choose to take the Toughness feat, do not add 3 HP to your total...

    Whew. :D You can e-mail me at reprisal@shaw.ca to send me your character information. Aside from stats, I would like a concise background and your character's reason for wanting to leave the continent of Vanaria and come to the New World. Please use a "[PBP]" tag in your subject line! Cool...

    [PBP] The Port Opal Underground - OOC Thread

    Kobolds have an entirely different place in this campaign world. In fact, they aren't even native to the Old World Continents, so none of the "civilized" races even know about them. I was planning on introducing them far later in the campaign. So, I suppose I should just say that I don't think...

    Krug - Mongres is a goblin, right? (And btw, you weren't supposed to post character stats, but I guess it doesn't really matter, hehe.) I'm not sure about Monte's Alt. Ranger, but I'm willing to say that you have the option of taking Point Blank Shot and either Far Shot or Precise Shot as your...

    [PBP] The Port Opal Underground - OOC Thread

    Welcome! The Underground as it is now consists primarily of competing gangs from different neighbourhoods and racial gangs of some sort... They're not organized in any real way save for a rather anarchistic regime of challenge and warfare. At this point, the gangs aren't as powerful as the...

    Hey all, I've been wanting to run a Play-By-Post game for quite some time, and though I'm not certain if I'll be able to run it as quickly as other games seem to be going, I thought I'd take a stab at it. Let's hope that it's interesting and lasting, :) Premise The Player-Characters are a...

    Seduction = Bluff or Seduction = Diplomacy

    I think it would depend on the intent of the seduction. If the character was merely seducing out of a desire for anything other than the affection of the mark, then it would be a Bluff skill. If, however, if the character really wanted to attract a potential mate through seduction, then it would...

    Native American Environments

    Being descendant of the First Nations people of the Pacific Northwest, I've been interested in finding out the history of -- at the very least -- my people and the surrounding area. It seems to me that not many people tend to think about the natives of this particular area when they think about...
