Tragedy at Silvergard OOC Thread

[Amaury]

Crazypixie, for the characters in the queue, are our characters free to enter the city or is there some guard check that you want to roleplay?
ta.

Dude! Nightwish fan!!!!

, I based much of the plot and several of the characters of my epic game around nightwish songs. (And Apocalyptica, of course.)

As for speech, It should be easy... After all, he IS William the Gray

Nightwish is a great group, many cool songs, the lyrics are excelent ^^
On topic: why don't you try this gray

Whoa, slow down guys.

As for colors, I'd prefer to keep things all the same color, except when speaking in other languages. For example, I'm speaking in Azgundi right now.

Common = Normal White
Azgundi = Magenta
Tureni = Dark Olive Green
Thayvian = Dark Red
Emiran = Dark Orange
Elven = Green
Sylvan = Lime
Halfling = Sandy Brown
Draconic = Red
Dwarven = Sienna
Auran = Medium Turquoise
Druidic = Black (As in, spoiler texted. Secret language and all that)
Gnome = Blue
Orc = Indigo

That covers all of the languages listed on your character sheets. If I missed any, let me know. If dialogue from an NPC pops up that's in a language none of you understand, I'll simply state something to the effect of, "The NPC says something in a language you don't understand."

Yttermayn: Cool pic, 40 xp. Next level you can try for another extra credit.

Ok, on with the game.

Amaury: Quick nitpick about your IC post. I try not to have my halflings resemble hobbits in any way shape or form, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't refer to them as such. The word "hobbit" doesn't exist in my campaign world.

 

[Amaury]

Ok, corrected post.

Otherwise, would you describe your world as High or low magic and high or low fantasy (as opposed to medieval)? Just so that I roleplay accordingly.

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

Low magic, high fantasy. What that means in a nutshell is that the everday commoner doesn't see magic much and the only reason the average commoner is at all familiar with magic and other races is due to the recent war. PCs are special. They're above average, they're out of the ordinary, they're exceptional.

So, the Azgundi capital, for example, does not have things like Continual Flame lamps on every street corner, or anything else that would say "magic is common." The only place where anything magical could be considered to be "common" is the Adventurers' Guild compound, and in the households of certain Lords, Ladies, and retired adventurers.

If it weren't for the centaur, the dwarf would be getting stared at almost as much. Most commoners have never seen a dwarf, much less a centaur. Halflings, due to their somewhat migratory nature, are somewhat more commonplace, though still seperate and not trusted.

Does that answer your question?

 

[Amaury]

yeap.. basically not a Ptolus campaign!

and that's what i'm used to, so cool by me.

I just changed the resolution of my monitor and it made those darker colors a little more visible, so I apologize the Dark Red was less than bright. Does the color Deep Sky Blue hinder anyone at all?

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

See my color post above.

All, especially those with more PBP experience: What is the point of having characters' dialogue color coded?

 

[ethandrew]

I fixed that in the IC thread, as I noted that after I had posted. The main advantage in my eyes is that I can easily tell characters apart and be able to distinguish the character's words and their actions. I think partially it's an aesthetic thing as well.
