Hope Never Dies - OOC thread [Full]

[Lichtenhart]

IC thread is up! Let's go guys!

Oh and by the way, this post is the perfect example of how I'm going to use colors. The colored part are meant to be read by the character with the same color. I trust you not to metagame on them more than what you'd do if we were all at the same table. So no IC mocking of George because his dog calls him 'boss' and snickers at him. You can mock him OOC as much as you want though .

Lichtenhart, would you mind putting a 3.5 tag on the various threads (IC, OOC RG) so that it is a little easier to visually find the threads quickly? Thanks!

Is an Unearthed Arcana one the same for you?

I realized I haven't made my ruling on languages yet so here it is:

Segestan - It was the language of the Kingdom that once ruled most of the lands around the Middle Sea. Now it's mostly fallen in disuse, except for some areas in the East. It's alphabet survived better to the Kingdom's fall.

Seaspeak - Our Common. It's a trade language born in the middle sea who mixes and blends many other languages. No poet would use it, but merchants write it with segestan alphabet.

Ishrillic - This is the quick tongue of the small races, gnomes and halflings. it uses an adapted form of segestan alphabet.

Tkaran - This is a collection of the dialects of the North. Karanarr and Lowver are trying to put it into a more rigid form. It uses segestan alphabet.

Terelese - This is how segestan evolved in the South, though an alsin noble would have some trouble understanding a tilnese commoner. It uses segestan alphabet.

Hagrouk - The goblinoid races language. Almost never written. Those that care to write it probably use segestan alphabet though it misses some of the sounds.

Pyruvan - The language of the magical creatures of this plane, with little variations. Usually the language of magic, though magical treaties can be found in segestan too. It uses its own ideograms.

Elven - The secret language of the elven race, handed down from father too son since millenia ago. It has no written form, except for some tangled runes.

Dwarven - The language of the dwarven people. Almost unheard on the surface. It's got its own geometrical alphabet.

Ataralan languages - The languages spoken by outsiders. Only the most learned scholars can claim to speak them. Usually divided in Bright Ataralan (the tongue of the angels), Hard Ataralan (the tongue of Law), Soft Ataralan (the tongue of Chaos) and Dark Ataralan (the tongue of evil). Learning one allows to understand them all even if only the known one can be spoken.

That works better, thanks.

Folks, sorry for the delay before my last update. I've been quite brainwiped and having the party divided doesn't help. I am now returning you to our noramlly scheduled game.

Voadam, just a curiosity, who is Shagras of the night?

Orcish god of slinking in darkness and the shadows, from a very old dragon magazine article on the non-human pantheons in 1e times. I might have gotten the name a bit wrong but that's fine by me.

I apologize again, guys, but I keep having all sorts of problem that keep me from posting (my dad's taxes and a 8 hours long blackout the last two). Now I should be back to a more steady posting pace. You have been great so far.

I planned to ask you a month after the beginning of the game if you were enjoying it, or would have changed anything, then again, I thought we would have already got out of our 'paintings'.
I'll ask you anyway, and eventually I'll ask you again after this first adventure.

Are you enjoying the game? Is it how you imagined it? Would you change anything?

 

[Voadam]

I'm enjoying it, I was a little worried that with the gnome house painting it would get too much into silliness and lead to monty haul rewards for no reason after setting up the cool no equipment to start scenario. It took me a little while to come up with a hook to go along with the house painting, but I was fine with it after I did so. I'm enjoying the lizard-man confrontation, although it looks like that is coming to a climax shortly.

 

[Lichtenhart]

Sorry for my long absence, guys, but my life got all of a sudden a bit complicated. I won't say it out loud, but I should be back now. I hope you all would like to continue.
