The Game of Kings OOC

As long as I'm in the back... waaay in the back.

Carver's your guide?

We're doomed

"And over here is a realy cool carving of a bird on the shutters of the bakery, and this here is where I first tripped and fell, and this is where some guy chased me away from peeking into his shutters, and this is where I first tried a mug of ale, and this is..."

Psst. Carver. Morika already has the bag.. Guess you two could fight over it.

Found the age part, I'll fix the rest.

XP, Money, and Encumberance are missing from the sheet as well.

And I'll express my extreme disdane for this sheet (I left my other sheet in an sblock, since to me it's actualy usable, this isn't in my opinion). However, I will be good and not mention it again.

I'm not really sure if your complaint is valid or not--it's the only format I've ever used for online RPing, and anything too different seems like a bizarre, oversized mess to me compared to this compact sheet. Also, it's more or less the same format that monster entries are printed in, which lends a little continuity to the stats I have to look up. But enough said on the matter.

Also, money and encumberance go along with the inventory (sorry I didn't make that clear on my example) and XP... is generally kept track of by the DM in the games I play. Hm. Given that we have crafters here, I'll say that it should go by your classes and levels.

In other news, the idea of throwing cannibals into this game is tempting, especially if the new Pirates film is as fun as I've heard it is. It's really a wonderful coincidence that we've gotten this game off the ground just days before the movie comes out.

I've used a few different formats, but LEW uses the one I've used, which resembles many offline character sheets I've used.

Also, I dislike the monster formats (and the newer one even more) for the most part.

With spaces, it's easy to tell what's what, make notes, ect. Without spaces, things blur togeather a bit and become harder (at least for me) to read. I need to look up abilities if I don't remember them since they're no place for notes, and I don't have any good place to mention several situaltional modifiers to skills, etc.

Kolbyr (in my sig) is the other format I've used somewhat regularly, which is format heavy, but still works fairly well and allows for a lot of detail as well, particularly when space is not an insue online.

However, the sheets are for your use as well, so whatever works for you. As long as you don't mind me keeping my sheet in an sblock with my own format. It's just my personal preference, no real big deal

For pbp games I tend to like sheets that allow one to show their work (skill points, ranks, modifiers, synergy, stat points, types of ac, modifiers for saves/ac/attacks), because you're working with a half-dozen or so people from around the world, and you don't know how good their math is. So, I think that's just the reasoning there.

But I recognized the WotC format when I saw it, and if you find that easier, more power to you.

I thought "the bag" was someone's stuff. Not our pay....

 

[stonegod]

Its both:

I have packed your tickets and provisions for the trip...I have included an initial payment of 50 coins of platinum for each of you.

Ring -

XP was the issue for crafting the Haversack, not money, so I figure it's been something he's been looking to build, and likely has some of those materials already. If not, if he has time, he'll aquire what he can in town before they leave.

If not, he'll just hang on to the cash.

Fair warning- there is no way I'll be able to keep up with the Flurry of Posts (tm) you guys are setting. One a day isn't a problem, but the kind of rapid-fire conversation stuff will leave me a few posts behind everyone.

I don't have a problem with it! Just letting you know my posts might have a degree of backtracking.
