IndyPendant's Sunless Citadel OOC thread.

[Voadam]

You might have gone first, I'm not sure.

We could make a running gag out of it. You're calling your dog and I'm saying "What? What!? I'm RIGHT HERE!!"

That sounds like fun. "Get him Terrek!" and both you and the dog leap to the attack.

Indy, let's keep it this way, I'll just try and remember the second "r" as I type in Terrek which might help a little visually for us to keep it straight.

Brzzzzzt

My apologies Indy, monday evening my are had some pretty bad thunder storms from the Canadian jet strem dipping down (check a recent weather map, I live like 5 miles from lake Ontario) and my house actually got hit by lightning. Totally fried my DSL modem, and my block lost service for a few days. BUt, I'm back, and will attempt to keep up with the posting now.

Again, sorry.

Hrm. Running into a potential issue here, compared to my online campaign: I can tell when it's time to FF by watching for the RP to wind down. Here, that seems...rather difficult. So I'm left with a choice. Either continue RPing scenes in fits and starts, seeing if there's anything that grabs you guys--or risk trampling on any ideas you might have, and FF to the Next Significant Event. (For example, if the NSE is for you to enter the Citadel--but you planned to do something before leaving Oakhurst, what do I do? Now, I could just ask--but I can easily imagine many situations where asking would give you warning about what's about to happen. Can't have that! : )

Still, my GM sense is tingling. I think I need to move things along. So, for now I'm going to risk it and do the FF. I just ask you to keep this in mind: I'm going to be a little clumsy doing things like this, every once in a while, until I find the proper balance. Just please bear with me--and let me know when you think I've gone too far, of course. It's never my intention to take away from my player's enjoyment. : )

And if you want to do anything in particular that you have not mentioned, please let me know. (I have read between the lines and do intend to describe a talk with Felosian regarding the muggers, btw.) If it suits to describe it IC, do so in that thread; otherwise, feel free to describe it here. I try to check both at least once a day.

(Edit: Thanks for the head's-up Sorrow, and no worries. Welcome back!)

I agree that a FF is in order. I'm ready to try and find these guys and rake in that phat reward lewt!

I think in PbP games, keeping things moving is even more important than in a regular game. Going great so far!

 

[Voadam]

I love the fact that I can re-read old posts in pbp games and pick up details that would otherwise escape me in a face to face game.

I'm going to fill in that first level spell known slot with speak with animals so I can do investigations and talk with my wolfhound.

I think it will be apparent, Indy, when we come across something that sparks our IC RP'ing interest. Intro can be a difficult time to try and gel IC. After we complete an adventure together and level up and see how everyone operates, I think the RP'ing will fill in the cracks that right now seem empty.

I think we are moving along nicely and a FF or two won't bother me, as has been said, in PbP combat bogs us down enough without spending multiple days "walking" somewhere.

Speaking of level'ing up.. ... will you post some XP updates here everyonce in awhile? Just like to see the light at the end of the tunnel, hehe.

Actually I'd be happy with not personally tracking xp and just having you tell us when we level up.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Personally I second Voadam's motion. I would like to leave the xp traking up to you, and let us focus more on the story.

 

[JimAde]

I don't think Jay is saying we should be responsible for tracking the XP, he'd just like an occasional "Hey, you guys are pretty close to levelling. Start thinking about how you're going to spend your DP." Right, Jay?
