[D&D 3.5/Eberron] Forgotten Forge [Full]

Yeap I'm having a good time, though playing an Artificer takes some getting used to.

I'm having fun as well, but I should post more.
I can see how not using a map is liberating to you, but I for one like the visual aid the map can give.

Considering this is the first PbP campaign I've ever been in, I'd say it's going very well. I'm having a good time, though I'm sorry that I'm not posting more frequently. Sometimes I just forget to check the thread to see if the whole thing is moving on. I'd like to thank you all for an excellent campaign so far, especially Kajamba Lion for hosting it.

I'm used to playing a cleric, but I believe it's somewhat different in Eberron than in Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms. Everything isn't as black and white here as in those settings. I like that a lot, really. But are we just getting slapped around a lot more than similar parties would have been in this adventure? I don't know. I guess I'm just not used to using elite array ability scores for my PCs (32 points point-buy all the way, baby!). I feel a bit underpowered, but I guess that'll just take some getting used to.

Concerning Gannon's personality, I've been trying to play him as a general do-gooder, and neither he nor myself ever thought he'd get "promoted" to party leader when you consider his problem with authorities. But I guess he's getting used to it

Note to self: Buy wand of cure light wounds as soon as possible!

I can imagine it would — the class is different enough to make it a realm apart from the typical arcanist.

I hear you, and I'm trying to think of a way that I can provide a visual aid without having to constantly be drawing maps up. Something'll probably give for the next chapter, although we're going to ride this one out with no maps.

That's one of the things I'm kind of aiming for — I want a generally grey world with hints of bright white and pitch black. As far as the party getting slapped around more than similar parties, I think a lot of that has to do with the party being three spellcasters and a wicked atavistic barbarian — if Rawhide goes down quickly or can't reach the front of the party, y'all are just about screwed, as the last two fights have shown.

Thanks!

Well, spellcasters have never been strong at low levels...

 

[Ashy]

I'm having a BLAST!!!! I do prefer maps when I can get them. Other than that - don't change anything...

 

[MadMaxim]

On another note, my girlfriend just dumped me today... I'm not mad at her or anything. I'm just blaming myself for it (which is really a bad idea)...

 

[Ashy]

Sorry to hear that MadMaxim... Just remember - girlfriends are like characters - you can always just roll up a new one!

...Er....

...that's not right....

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Aw, crap, man. I'm sorry about that.

 

[Knight Otu]

Sorry to hear that.
