D&D 5E (2014) [OOC] Creamsteak's Storm King's Thunder

[Steve Gorak]

Davaros is fine going after the Kobold, although going after the giants is much more aligned with his MO. He'll follow the group.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Perhaps I've contributed to the uncertainty -- if so I apologize. I sometimes find with pbp that I lose threads or plot points. In this case, I really didn't know what to do now we have the storm ball, and spending all resources to fly off somewhere didn't make sense. As a player, I'm happy to do it; but I just need someone to explain why it's worth the investment to do so to the other characters.

Chasing kobolds is fine.

 

[Yavathol]

I think I'd rather chase after something less dangerous than cloud giants! Hopefully the kobold will lead us to something a little more level appropriate

I find pbp a little harder, with open ended scenarios, to organise decisions since you can't see the other players and read their expressions:-/

 

[Creamsteak]

With one player partially absent for the week do we want to recruit someone new at this point during the lul? I've got an encounter for the next day in town if the goal is to at least stay the night.

Someone with the bard/cleric/druid persuasion would probably be good.

 

[Yavathol]

That's fine with me

 

[Kobold Stew]

It's your call, but I have no objections. An absence for a week shouldn't be a reason in itself, but if you want another player to keep momentum, go for it (though I am not concerned necessarily for party balance -- I am more interested in active, long-term players than having a bard, if you see what i mean.)

 

[Creamsteak]

It's not a requirement, but I personally find limited options tend to get me motivated at times. Actually that gives me a weird thought for a game.

 

[Yavathol]

How are things going, [MENTION=552]Creamsteak[/MENTION]? I was really enjoying the game, hope we can re-commence soon?
Or were you waiting on the players for some decision?

I was reading Angry GMs blog post about this situation, though he was talking about video games and tabletop rpgs, not PBeM (http://theangrygm.com/tick-tock-the-weird-clock-speed-of-dd/)..

 

[Creamsteak]

I have a couple games in a lull, both on enworld and in my roll20 group. I think it's a combination of people's summer schedules and some of the games have hit hard decision points, in some cases life or death. I'm actually waiting for the players to commit to some kind of action, and not let the game run away with things.

Hello all,

Just posting interest in joining this game, since I see you may be recruiting. I'm pretty easygoing about classes, so I'd be open to playing whatever would round out the group. I've been PbPing here since I joined the boards (in Sep 2015) if that matters at all.

Cheers
