L4W Discussion Thread V

[Voda Vosa]

I am the DM of a game that has stalled out, Auction House.

It was going pretty well until I had to take a few weeks off due to family issues. I tried to start it up again a few weeks ago but only got about half the players to respond.

Now that the holidays are coming and the beginning of next year promises to be busy for me at work, I think it best to just abandon the adventure.

The adventure never got a judge, so I need someone to help wrap it up and give the players their rewards.

The party was in the middle of a skill challenge that they were likely going to fail IMO, so I'm not sure how I should award XP, if any for that encounter as even though it didn't look to good for the party, it wasn't completed.

Just call it a failure, I think the other players won't mind.

 

[CrimsonFlameWielder]

SoM when are we gonna get Dina and Ignatz on the same team again. I miss that ancient magic.

No! No! No Dina + Ignatz death combo! It's toooooo good! Toooo good I tell you! *runs screaming*

I'm OK with that too.

Please let the judges know when you have the final rewards tallied, someone will step up and approve it

 

[CaBaNa]

That was scary...

 

[Neurotic]

Wow! Total fail of the ENWorld.
Where's your backup, people?! I'm cutting back on my personal data offered here and changing password, just in case. Still, I won't stop my subscription, with faithful people out there, I believe will soon continue as before.

Please, give us black background back! (goes to check the settings )

Harsh. Not everyone is software expert. And happens. As long as they learn something from this all is well. Since this is only part of the site that I use, I don't mind too much. Dice would be nice for those times when IC is down.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Hmmm back, interesting experience. I'll reasume my adventure soonish.

 

[dimsdale]

I am back as well. Hope to get things rolling the next couple days. I was unaware of the the site change thinking that things were going to be fixed in the old one.

 

[CaBaNa]

Glad everyone is trickling back in and that the site is back up.

 

[Mewness]

Any adventures out there need another player? Since r1 seems to have vanished again, I have 3 inactive characters.

A request for those that do the character approvals. Kama'zer has already got both approvals for 6th level some time ago, but she doesn't show up on the 'Approved Characters' list. And while I'm asking for stuff, might as well put in a bump requesting approvals for Arshaka the lvl 3 Psion as well. It's a pretty clean build as he was created at 3rd level after retiring Talon. No big rush of course as he's in the middle of his first adventure still and with tomorrow being Christmas I'm not expecting much from anyone here on the boards for the rest of the year.

 

[WEContact]

Whoops! Sorry for my absence, CFW and Voda and co-players. Christmas was busy busy, and my computer is only kind of working. I'm working on getting a new one but until I do my posting will spottier than usual.

 

[CrimsonFlameWielder]

Understandable, WEContact. This time of year is slower on the posting front anyway, so it's not a huge deal, honestly. I'll just NPC your characters if you don't post for more than a few days. Thanks for jumping on and letting us know you're still alive and well, and not just disappearing!

 

[Luinnar]

Can a judge besides me please approve xp for The Auction House. We did not get a judge.

Thanks.

 

[Son of Meepo]

I've done all I can with the approval queue. Hopefully someone else can help get through the rest of them.

So how does the treasure system work over here in L4W? I got the passive time part, but what about the adventuring loot? In LEB we use an N+ system that lets us plan what we need to get so we can put the items on our wishlist in the right order. Is it the same here?

For instance the first thing my pixie starlock will need is a +1 Defiant Bloodcurse Rod (AV). This a lvl 4 item, which would be an N+3 parcel before he hits lvl 2. Or is it more of a strait gold, buy it yourself type system?

The DM sets the rewards themselves, we are not locked into a parcel system like LEB. So you could get 2 N+2 items in a row. Usually DMs like for players to make wishlists and prioritize them so they know what is their most wanted items.

You can also buy stuff with your time gold.

 

[Vertexx69]

good to know, so what is the highest lvl item we could conceivable get? For example in LEB the highest is N+4, and then only once every 5 lvls. Just trying to figure out how to fill my wishlist

Theoretically there is no limit, but a DM should only allow items around your level. I would not give a level 1 PC a level 10 item (or even a level 6 or 7 item). Item cost is designed in a way to make it basically impossible to save up for very high level items. Even if you save all your money from 1-10 you still would not be able to buy a level 20 item for example.

I usually make a wishlist from my level up to a couple levels higher than my character, Anything below your level you can easily buy.

I have three characters, and they are actually all in idle in stalled adventure... could a Judge help here.

- Auction House have been declared finished by SonOfMeepo, our DM, but the XP hasn't been approved.
- Murder at Midnight was DMed by Renau1g, but he has been inactive for a while.
- The Missing Professor was DMed by H.M.Gimlord, but he hasn't posted for 6 months now.

I would like to see my characters active again. Thanks to teh judges that will take action on these.
