Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Incidentally, I was shocked to pieces to see Garn show up in a pbp Ptolus game I'm playing run by the guy who plays Katadid in my Midwood game, and Ada in this game (with help from the guy who plays Bufer in Midwood). So, apparently, Garn lives through this adventure.

The Story Hour for the Tenth Precinct will be going up at some point -- probably after the first adventure is over -- so look for it then. Garn retains his charm and at least briefly acquires a new job in the Noble Quarter ...

Folks standing outside the fountain room going in?

Pitchwife had wisdom teeth extracted and has promised to post as soon as lucid.

The same Garn or a namesake?

Garn, the new Bob.

I'll try and track it down to read, is that the silver princess game?

Yeesh- I just noticed your sig line, Voadam. How many games are you playing in? That text block takes up half the page!

Uhm nine currently active here on EN World. I DM Wildwood and Dwarven Veangance (which is not on EN World). Some of these the DMs only post sporadically but it is a lot and I stopped applying for new recruiting threads a while ago, even though there are a lot of games that looked like they would be fun.

It's the exact same Garn. You'll see when Trench posts the Ptolus: The Tenth Precinct story hour at some point in the future.

I just had two of the officers from that story cameo in the Vock Row adventure. Monte pioneered the whole "player groups crossing paths" thing, and I always thought it'd be fun to do in a Ptolus game.

heh. Garn's cameo came out of a moment of DM winging it as well. The PC's had come across a young noble who always has a bodyguard shadowing him. I just assigned the guard a maxed-out Hide score and called it a day. Much to my surprise, the rogue spotted him.

me: well crap. I don't know what this guy looks like. Ah, let's just make him a half-orc.

PC: *goes to stalk bodyguard herself. grabs OTHER PC whose character has a history of violence. Other PC goes to confront bodyguard.*

me: well crap again. This could actually be a combat encounter. I don't want to stat this guy out. Is there any half-orc... saaaaaaayy...

Slap a few levels on Garn to simulate a year of living rough in the city and we have Garn v2.0.

Cool

So I'm curious now- if Garn dies, and we opt not to resurrect him (because he's just so darned caustic), does that create a campaign paradox and wipe out the other game?

I think there is some prime directive against creating paradoxes that destroy whole universes. So Garn will just have to live.
