Message: <blockquote data-quote="gabrion" data-source="post: 3815107" data-attributes="member: 30779">This is the OOC thread for my Xen'drik game.  Players plz repost your characters here and let me know some how when you think your character is completely done and ready for a DM examination.  I'll make an RG soon for the approved characters.The more general purpose of this thread will be to discuss things out of character and to bring issues to my attention.  This last bit is important to me - I'm by no means a rules expert or an Eberron lore expert, so if anything in the game is rubbing you the wrong way, plz air it here so we can take care of it.  I find that addressing any issues that arise promptly can make things much smoother in a campaign in the long run.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Other than that, I hope you guys enjoy the game!A few points of interest before we get too far into things here:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Plz advance to level 9.  I’ve already written much of the first part of this campaign and after reviewing it I feel like I may have been a tad low to have the characters start at 8.  Adjust your gold and XP accordingly (42,500 gp and 40,500 xp).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I plan to keep things running relatively fast when we get the IC thread up and running.  I enjoy RP as much as the next guy, but I encourage the players to act as well.  In other words, feel free to ask the NPCs pertinent questions, but plz don’t stand around for a week thinking you can recon an entire mission by pumping the guards for info.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Because PbP games are slow no matter how they are run, XP awards will be inflated.  If the game lasts, you should expect to gain at least a few levels, rather than being stuck in the same place for six months.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Along with that last point, I will give out extra XP for cool stuff in game.  Examples are good RP, clever planning, cool descriptions of attacks, or anything else I really dig.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Most of the treasure you collect after any given encounter in game will simply be a gold amount.  I realize this is not realistic, but it makes things easier for all of us.  The game will go faster if you aren’t running around pawning things or trying to split them up.  Sometimes you will get magical item rewards, but these will usually only be consumables that I think you could use, or quest/story items.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I would love it if you all could find character portraits that you think match your characters and add them to your sheets.  This isn’t required (and certainly don’t do it if you can’t find one you like), but I think it adds to the game.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Speaking of characters, plz add an sblock at the end of your character sheet explaining default actions in case I need to take him/her over at some point.  You can make these as complex as you like (and feel free to describe different actions for different situations).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I will mention this again when I start the IC thread, but it belongs here as well since it may apply to OOC discussions.  Do NOT read sblocks addressed to other characters.  Please?  I doubt it will ever ruin the game if you do, but I think it’s more fun sometimes to not know every detail of what’s going on.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Lastly, I realize the party I picked is not the standard mix.  It may be unclear who is "covering" which roles.  I did this partially on purpose (mostly cause I like the characters though).  I want to stress here, do NOT feel like you are forced into a role just because you may be the only one capable of it (for instance Shayuri healing, or stonegod adjusting to be an ultimate face man).  Play your characters the way you envision them, I'll try to make the adventure work for you.</li> </ol>Whew…ok so that’s all I have for now.  Let me know if you have any questions/comments.</blockquote>
