[OOC] OOC thread about the non-iconics adventure (part deux)

[Murhid]

Cool, Dopp can you recommend any of the FR novels you listed as good? I'm also seeking some FR novels to read...

Come to think of it I'll also take up your suggestion on the Paul Kid novels.

 

[reapersaurus]

ya, i was actually referring to just rules and reference material...
2E stuff in particular.
"The North" has been helpful, and I just found "Waterdeep and the North"
any others?

Well, I'm no Dopp, but I second the Paul Kidd suggestion.

- This particular adventure is generic which means nothing but the appropriate Dungeon magazine will help you.

- Seems like you already found the material relating to Uthgar barbarian territory.

- There might be a sourcebook on the Dragon Coast, but since I don't have it, any information you found in there would be pretty useless and not applicable to this game.

- I don't know what else might apply to your character or this game...

I'm gone til friday! Just continue as normal, but Taz will be a little more quiet than normal and just tag along with the group! Autopilot her, if desperately needed, but otherwise she can probably just keep out of any fighting that might break out.

Bye
Thanee

Sorry if it seems like I'm trying to kill the role-playing and all.

IC: Murhid is there to do a job, and the trivial conflict between the two uncivilized ones concerns him not, especially in the middle of an underground monastery.

So again I'm sorry if you had a lot more role-playing in mind CR, hope I didn't kill it.

 

[reapersaurus]

actually, Murhid, my impression was that you DID kill it.

It's really too bad, in my opinion, that you chose to play a character who is absolutely anti-role-playing.
Like i mentioned before, it is very difficult to have any interaction at all with Murhid, due to his personality.

I personally have never met a monk character that made it easy to interact with them, but I'm sure someday I'll meet a monk character concept that enhances the roleplaying aspect of gaming?

This post is meant with complete straightforward honesty, to spur discussion, and no derogatory put-downing intended.

edit:

IC: Murhid is there to do a job, and the trivial conflict between the two uncivilized ones concerns him not, especially in the middle of an underground monastery.

unfortunately, those are not trivial concerns, and as Ivellios correctly said, it was not Ivellios OR Ubaar who caused it to be a concern in this instance.

actually, i was going to have Ubaar say a comment about Murhid, something like "you sure seem impatient for a monk.
What, gotta have all action, all the time?"
but i didn't think it would be in-character for Ubaar... LOL

Thanee - you can't have Taz even stand up for herself once?
I guess Ubaar's attempts to make the little ones stronger, and less likely to be taken advantage of, are doomed to failure...

 

[HeavyG]

I'm gone til friday!

What a coincidence ! So will I !

I may have time to post tomorrow, then it'll be until saturday.

actually, Murhid, my impression was that you DID kill it.

Please feel free to continue the discussion now that the room is explored and it is revealed that there is no danger inside.

You don't need me for that !

Wow, let me try to translate that statement:
"I'm sorry for role-playing my character. If you'd like, I'll stop so you can talk more."

Murhid's no-nonsense attitude is his major positive quality, as far as Kytess is concerned. It is one of the only things that lets her get beyond her "shell". If you drop that, you'll make it very hard for me to show Kytess as anything *but* a hard-nosed warrior.

Having said that, the biggest issue with Kytess at the moment is the sword she gave to Jalon. That could have interesting effects...

 

[Murhid]

Bah, what Kytess said

I meant trivial conflict, as it would of been to Murhid. He sees that there is no problem, If Ubaar and Iv kill each other he would not be concerned. And if this discussion did have to be done, It could of been done in the tavern, not inside the monastery....

I don't mind discussing this, that's why I brought it up, gotta go to school now though... so it's a quick post
