Insight's Dark Sun: Burning Sands Campaign [OOC]

[Insight]

Congratulations and welcome to the following:

SLOT 1: Zimno, Eladrin Swordmage (Wilder) - Stonegod
SLOT 2: Amica, Kalashtar Psion (Primal Guardian or Wasteland Nomad) - Shayuri
SLOT 3: Kesh, Elf Monk (Wilder) - Distracting Flare
SLOT 4: Korg, Dwarf Shaman (Elemental Priest) - Walking Dad

SLOT 5: Brandis, Human Warlock (Templar) - drothgery

I really appreciate everyones' efforts in submitting characters for this game and please know that some of these decisions were not all that easy to make. In the end, I had to choose characters that I felt would work best together as a group.

Good luck to those of you who didn't quite make the cut.

A note on IC posting and combat:

The colors your slot has been assigned will work well for your character's speech text, where applicable. If you absolutely hate the color I chose, you can use something else as long as it isn't too similar to the other colors.

Combat:
I want combat to flow smoothly. To this end, I have two things I would like to do to speed things up.

1. If you don't post within 2 days of the initial combat post, your character will make a basic attack against the nearest enemy. This will be done in the most advantageous way possible.

2. I am going to make the rolls. What this means is that you will state your intent for the round (including movement, what powers you use, etc) and then I will compile everything into one combat round post that includes all actions for that round. I will post the rolls from Invisible Castle in sblocks if you really want to see the rolls I made. Enemy rolls will not be posted.

2a. If your stated action is not possible, I will PM you with your options. I need to hear back from you ASAP so that I can complete the round. If I don't hear back within 24 hours, I will adhere as best I can to your stated intentions (in the most advantageous way possible).


That's all for now!

Yay!

I'm curious on who #5 will be...

 

[Shayuri]

Yee! Thanks!

Insight, any thoughts on that Elan Heritage feat from Psionic Power?

One thing I noticed was that it grants telepathy 5...would that stack with the Kalashtar telepathy?

I don't have Psionic Power, so I'll have to wait til it's in the Compendium/DDI or you can PM me the details.

Thanks for picking me! I feel really privileged to play with Shay, WD, and Stonegod, each of whom I am currently DMing for!

When we state our intent for combat actions, should that be here in the OOC thread, or in the IC thread?

It's fine to put that in the IC thread. I don't want to have to do a bunch of back-and-forth-ing.

First, thanks for choosing my character!

...

Could I take lime as speaking color? Dim gray is sometimes hard to read and lime is my favorite PbP color. It should be different enough to the slot 3 color. If not, I will use magenta. (Or would Kesh / DistaractigFlare switch colors with me? I like green for nature themed characters.)

...

Could you use instead an at-will for my shaman? His basic attacks will really suck...

I will start a trip today to my father-in-law. But I can post again on Sunday evening.

PS: Wondering who will be slot 5...

You guys can work it out. Not a huge deal to me.

Haha. I'm sure that's true. At-will is fine. I hope we wouldn't have to do that very often. I just hate pbp combats that drag on for weeks and months at a time. Really kills a game's pace.

Not a problem. The IC stuff should be posted today. You will have plenty of time to get up to speed next week.

PS: Wondering who will be slot 5...

Slot 5 is just about finalized. Waiting on a PM response.

Congrats to the folks who were chosen. Looks like a very good group, both player and concept-wise.
