Traipsing Across Khorvaire - High Adventure in Eberron (OOC) [Closed]

[Starman]

I was pleasantly surprised to see you had some ranks in Diplomacy. I wasn't expecting that when I decided to make a roll for you.

I have decided to change the name of the threads. I have been dissatisfied with the name of the campaign for awhile, but I haven't been able to come up with an alternative. Naming a story is one thing, but I don't know about coming up with names for a campaign. Hopefully this one will better reflect the campaign. I like it better than the old one, but I'm not totally sure on it, yet. What do you think?

Any idea when Tim might be able to join? I'm going to try and remember to talk to Jon (and Ken if he's here) during the party today and see if they are still interested.

I have no idea when Tim may join. I have tried contacting him, but as I said he is having computer problems. I would assume he will just pop in one day. Sorry I can't provide anymore details.

I like the name changes.

As for Jon I saw you talking to him about the game, he was saying he can't sign on until 10pm or something like that. Maybe Ken will be around over the next few days.

I can't wait to see the Game of Thrones RPG.

I talked to Jon again tonight about the game. He says he really doesn't think he can join since he can't get online until after 10 and by then he's usually in bed since he's back on Flow.

I asked Ken if he had checked out the links I sent him. He said that he's been too busy to. He didn't seem too interested, so I'm not expecting him to join.

So, I guess it is looking like Tim is the only one we (or, I guess in this case, you) know who is willing to join. Do you want me to post for a few more players here on the ENWorld? I wouldn't do it until this first part of the adventure is over. It's up to you. I'm comfortable either way.

I'm going to be very busy for the next couple of days, but I'm going to try and remember to bring my dice and books with me to work tomorrow night so I can update our game. I don't have anything better to do with my time here.

I really don't think Tim is going to join. I talked to him the other night. There are some other things going on I really don't want to talk about. The only thing I can say is about 4 years ago I made a rule I don't get involved in other people's relationships. Ie - telling them things the other said or being ones shoulder to cry on. I found it saves my sanity and I was the one who was hurt just as bad. I know it sounds cruel and heartless but it saves me alot.

So I would say post for a few players. My major concern is what kind of players are we going to get. Like the conversation we had the other night with Jeromy.

I will see you on Monday - I have to work an exrta day -long story.

That's too bad about Tim. I definitely understand your hesitation to get involved in other's relationship difficulties. It usually doesn't end up working out for the best.

As soon as we get through this first part of the adventure, I will post for a few more players. I always wonder about other people when I'm on the 'net, too, but most of the people here on the boards are pretty cool. I'm sure we won't have any trouble.

I'm thinking about recruiting three more players. I would be willing to get up to five more, though. What do you think?

I think the idea of adding 3 more player's is fine. I think 5 maybe to many. I don't know though. You have had more experience with this so I will leave it up to you. I know you have said if you get to many it really slows down.

How would you decide who to accept? I mean, not trying to sound stupid but would you have auditions? Would you have them make characters and then see which ones fit best? Would you look at previous postings on En World? First come first serve? I guess its just something to think about.

Just tried IM or chating with you. I saw you were online. You must have to pay to use those functions. You can ignore this post otherwise.

There are several ways recruiting is done here on the boards. By far the most common is to just accept the first few people that are interested. Every now and then, I've seen a game where potential players are asked to come up with a character idea and background and the most interesting ones were chosen. I've seen one game where the gamemaster specifically said up front that he only wanted people who had been around on the boards for awhile (1000+ posts is what he specified, I believe).

I will, most likely, go with option #1.

I just noticed your last post. I know that IM is a community supporter feature. I didn't think chat was, but I don't know for sure.

Another game update.

You know I've been having so much fun with this game that I've been itching to start another game, too, since I have so many adventure/campaign ideas I would like to play. I hope you are having as much fun as I am.

On the chat feature, I believe that it is only available when one of the administrators schedules one, generally to chat with some game designer or author.

I assigned a -2 modifier to your attack roll in the last post representing that you were trying to set him up in the path of something that was falling.

I was also looking at your character sheet and you have your reflex save at +9. Shouldn't that be +8? I count +2 for one level of Ranger, +2 for one level of Rogue, and +4 for Dex. Am I missing something?
