A Call to Arms (OOC) (Recruiting)

[Narrator]

A note about grammar & clerics

You would think, me being a wannabe writer and being so anal about how this game is run, that I'd be a stickler for spelling, grammar and punctuation, whouldcha?

I know some of my posts are a little difficult to read because of poor grammar, spelling and punctuation, and I apologize for this. Basically, it's just laziness. Since I'm dong this adventure mostly on the fly with only a basic idea of where I want things to go, I have to write a story practically every time I post. Sometimes I just can't be bothered editing it properly or I'm too tired.

But hey, at least this means I'm not harping on you guys about your grammar, punctuation and spelling

As for the cleric thing, I can't rightly force anyone to go a cleric if they don't want to but it will be a definite suggestion to whoever picks up the gauntlet.

Nick changes and Campaign Website

For those who have to make nick changes, I've found the two links below help speed up the process immensely.

Whatever nick you're in, use the first one to logout. If you're returning to your regular nick, simply click on the link it takes you to and log in at the bottom of the page. If, however, you're intending on posting to the game thread, use the second link here as it takes you directly to a login screen that will then take you directly to a Reply To screen. Saves a lot of page loading.

Logout: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/member.php?action=logout

Login/Post: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/newreply.php?action=newreply&threadid=39107

Also, I'm tired of waiting for this guys approval to use his graphic. He's previously ok'd it and I was only waiting out of respect but since he doesn't return emails and hasn't been on AIM in three days... the new website is up and running here: http://home.iprimus.com.au/ddk/index.html

You'll note that you'll have to change your links for the character sheets. Also, if you could, please change the WWW link in your Profiles as I use these for quick access to your character sheets.

I've changed my (Clete's) website. Might I add that I really like the new campaing website you've set up.

 

[Narrator]

Thanks. It'd be a lot better if I had access to webspace with SSI and CGI/PHP but, eh, it'll do. Still a couple of bugs in it though and it's very... Grey... but I like that

Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention. The email addresses are there for our convenience mainly, in case we lose addies or whatnot (I tend to lose 'em a lot due to one reason or another) and are anti-spammed so no worry about spider's trawling for your email addies.

 

[Grenier]

Spiffy (grey ) website, one lil' peeve though, I couldn't get back to the main page after clicking on a character. Maybe you could make the "The World of Greyhawk" pic link back to the main page (cast etc).

 

[Grenier]

Lol at "I love your game and you're the BEST player in it!" and "I love the campaign and you are a brilliant DM!".

Oh and I fixed up Grenier's profile address.

Are the Knights of the Hart described in the LGG or somewhere else. I have the LGG but at home. I'll read up on it tonight.

Is the map you (DDK) posted earlier from FtA or somewhere esle? I still plan to get FtA.

Is there a good map in FtA that has the route we'll be following?

Game notes and replies.

Sorry if the 'shoving you out the back gate' thing felt a bit rushed but I thought that I should get things moving and throw the ball in your court instead of keeping it as a back'n'forth between your characters and NPC's. That and I didn't want to roleplay the whole 'going down the stairs, past the guards (they nod, one growls), click, click, click (yes Clete, you watch closely), etc.

Btw, I've decided to go with bold for my DM'ing actions instead of OOC since I figure reading pages of red text could get annoying

John, I should've mentioned this before but I forgot. The way I do Gather Info is that you tell me how many hours and how much money you want to spend and that affects the final result. For each hour a minimum of one gold needs to be spent buying drinks, greasing palms, etc. Every hour and/or gold more than that increases the chance of success by +1. There is no maximum however the more you wander about asking people, the more likely it is someone will take notice which can be either a good or bad thing, my call

The thieves' guild and temples I'll do seperately in the thread soon after I post this.

As for equipment, just buy whatever you want up to 1,400gp (hey, you could hock stuff and pull together resources to get that much! ) maximum for a single item. However no group of similar items can be over 600gp (ie. you can only buy 4 150gp potions, or 2 300gp scrolls, etc.) and no magic item over 600gp can be purchased in town.

Other than that, it's freeform. Roleplay as you please, tell me what you want your characters to do, etc. If you just want to have your character sit in a tavern until everyone else is ready to leave, that's fine to.

Website: Aww man... I hate not having SSI... if I had SSI, I'd only have to alter one page but to fix this, I have go back and fix them all! Free webspace sucks!

Emails: Heh, yeah, I figured that if someone was actually going to bother to email any of us about the game, then they can damn well say something nice

Knights: Yeup, there's a write-up on 'em but just be known that you can't use any of that without knowledge checks. I don't mind general stuff like, "Oh, yeah, I've heard of them, they like, hate the Knights of the Watch, don't they?" but no specifics like, "Yes, they dislike them and have done for many years though the cause of the rift is unknown."

Maps: Yes, the maps are from FtA. Good luck finding a copy...

As for the route, well, that's your decision. I say have your character buy a map and I'll post it on the site


P.S. There is actually a map already on the site but technically speaking your characters should buy one...

Re: Game notes and replies.

Maps: Yes, the maps are from FtA. Good luck finding a copy...

I'll get the ESD from SVGames. Tehre aren't too many second hand RPG shops in Moscow...

Grr

"Well I saw a place called [insert inn name here] that looked good enough. Unless someone knows of better, how bout we use that as a meeting place for morning and for tonight's lodging if none else is arranged."

If yah don't know, yah don't know...

Your character has only been in Gorsend for around two days, including today...

EDIT: Ok, I just reread your character's intro bit and realized that I didn't state the character had only been there for two days... I also thought I had made it clear that you had travelled with Garik... oops... Garik has travelled with you and Tarvoden from Pellak. Since Tarvoden was hardly ever around in the journey down, and he made no mention of you two working together in the future, there was no reason for you two to have talked. However, you can if you wanted to. Sorry, got mixed up with different histories.

REDIT: There was no reason for you two to talk specifically because you were travelling in a group with twenty others. Oops again... Tarvoden had been gathering troops from various places. I'm SURE I mentioned that in everyone elses write-ups... sorry.
