    RPG Evolution: Weight, What?

    I don’t get how tracking equipment is a mini game. I have two lists: the stuff in my pack and the stuff I carry. In a system where there is encumbrance, I drop my pack and it gets picked up at the end of combat when people are picking up the missile weapons they dropped on the ground (like...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I had a dream last night that we were about to enter the final room of this dungeon. I was living it in real time. It was very adventuresome.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    A couple things: 1. every team should have gotten a message from Shamal from the sending stones? (Although, maybe we are ahead in time so you haven’t gotten it yet.) And I suppose the message is mostly indecipherable given Shamal’s amazing alliteration 2. I’m not sure if you got the jist...

    Pirate Borg: Buried in the Bahamas

    Hearing the bird’s song, he yells to the parrot, which to this point, seemed a helpful sort, “Hey Bird, check that yonder beach fer signs of danger”

    Pirate Borg: Buried in the Bahamas

    ((I like the narrow beach idea))

    RPG Evolution: Weight, What?

    All the encumbrance rules which most gamers ignore. Equipment slots are easier to track and a bit more “realistic” because you have to actually make choice of what to carry. The problem is no one ever wants to play with an encumbered character. I think most games would be better with the...

    Pirate Borg: Buried in the Bahamas

    Egads! We best make our way to shore afore they realize there’s a second course waiting! Desiree starts moving the boat towards the shore.

    So, team Caves, we sure missed a lot. Hopefully @MetaVoid Torhak can break the trend.

    D&D General Odd Speak with Dead Question

    If he’s thinking of using it “in the future” why not just allow his character to also be thinking about that usage and allow him to create his own spell. Given a reasonable amount of time and research (and gaining another level to learn a new spell), he can create his own unique spell similar...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    [/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/SPOILER] Merrick runs past the dog, jumping over its attack, runs up next to the paralyzed houndsman and misses twice but Merrick manages to graze his cheeks leaving blood dripping on each side.

    Okay, so the dog is alive and the cultist is dead. Roger

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I’m confused by @Snarf Zagyg s action. He attacked and killed cultist one and missed cultist 2 but I don’t see cultist 1 on the map anywhere. Didn’t the first cultist die in the last round?

    Pirate Borg: Buried in the Bahamas (active recruiting)

    Well, I was waiting to see what the others did but Desiree would be the last to lend a hand so I’m fine with this outcome!

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    @MetaVoid why don’t you take the inspiration. I get to attack with advantage and you might need it for stealth. If I take it, I tend to use it right away. Don’t save it! Edit: oh, TWO PCs! I’ll take it!

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    [/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/SPOILER] Merrick whacked the Held mercenary with the butt of his polearm, knocking him out, then strode forward to kill the dog. He stood in front trying to keep people from getting closer.

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    So I just spent my first day in Scotland dressed up as Lancelot at Doune Castle where they filmed a lot of Monty Python’s Holy Grail. I feel the day was a success despite all the strange looks I was getting, recreating scenes from the movie with my friends. I will epilogue the game next week...

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    Okay, if you want to be 4th, who am I to bring back all that childhood trauma?

    Everyone is level 4 except Snarf. :D

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    Well, I was going to level you to 4th when you went to the final crypt but there was no natural “resting” point. That, and you were doing fine with the level you were at. The adventure lets you tune the adventure for PCs 3 to 5th. After you fought the spiders, I cranked the difficulty to...

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    I thought it might be fun to have Erin Tor as a refuge. It’s not out of danger, obviously, so trying to secure it from threats, figure out food, supplies etc and then eventually foray out beyond the valley. Also seems like a perfect location to set up Bastions for everyone.
