You forgot to do this in your second to the last post. Please go back and fix it.

All fixed up, this first few days will be a lot of learning but then after that we should all have this down.

Agreed. I'm already impressed with everyone's ability to remember the coding of words versus thoughts, and the seamless transition of translator language. As I've said already, and many have echoed, this campaign has the potential to be ridiculously, mind-blowingly epic. I mean, so far it's only been character conversation, and it's easily rivaled just about every other campaign I've ever played in, or GMed for.

One important note I wanted to make, before I hit the proverbial hay. In a campaign like this there are a lot of dice rolls that you people won't see. In a face to face game, you see me roll dice behind the screen all the time, and whenever possible I let you roll dice for things, because it's part of the fun. Obviously here you don't see, or get that opportunity. GM dice don't go into the gameplay post, and many times a roll that you don't know your character is making is just not posted. Point is, some rolls don't get posted period. I'll either be rolling them with digital dice or using the dice in hero lab or combat manager. So, many times, when I'm describing what's happening to your characters, there were dice involved. Say for instance a high level lich used his paralyzing touch ability to, oh, just for example, stop a Kitsune in his supplicating tracks... You would not make those rolls, and would not be privy to the results. So sometimes when it seems like I'm controlling your characters against your will, it's really me enforcing game mechanics that have successfully been enacted upon you. It might be a very frustrating part of this game for everyone, but it's something you'll all have to get used to.

Refreshing and refreshing and refreshing waiting and hoping more posts have been made, this campaign is already tons of fun I really hope it does last forever.

Imfazl and Asteria are missing out on this awesome campaign right now. Hopefully you guys can get in here soon and join the fun.

That's for sure, get your characters made and let's get this party started!!

Ain't no party like a dracolich party 'cause a dracolich party don't stop. :P

And to answer your question, NO! there is not a dracolich, it just fit the rhyme scheme.

Edit: That's not to say, though, that a dracolich might not show up at some point... Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm, Sadira would love to fight a dracolich bur she would want to be a little more powerful first I think.

If The Eternal Frost wills it so, then Kaze o will fight the Dracolich to the death, preferably the dracolich's death

Kaze o you should be using your shapeshifted alias when in that form. Your last gameplay post was still using the Fox alias. It will be important for all those with alternate forms to make sure they are posting under the correct alias, not only for story purposes, but so I know who I'm dealing with. If you get this in time, please go back and pick the alternate alias.

Edit: Unless you weren't shifting...? In which case you're in major trouble because you can't disguise on the fly.

Creating a disguise requires 1d3 × 10 minutes of work. Using magic (such as the disguise self spell) reduces this action to the time required to cast the spell or trigger the effect.

You might want to go back and either delete that post and start all over, or do some editing.

If Sadira wanted to get attention of the whole room could she cast deeper darkness followed by dispel magic to get that attention?

If Sadira wanted to get attention of the whole room could she cast deeper darkness followed by dispel magic to get that attention?

Only if she made it perfectly obvious that she was the one casting the spell, and or made a loud, table-top (ha pun intended) announcement. As your GM I might advise against it. In a room with as many shady characters as this one has, calling attention to yourself as powerful, without the real power to back it up, will make you a target. Remember you're in a room full of evil (not only in the alignment sense, but in the story sense as well) people and monsters. If they see someone that seems to have more power than they do, but is herded in with them as an equal, they might react negatively and seek to snuff your life. You don't have any real allies at this point, except Tamarelle.

Idle banter with NPCs has never been this fun. :) Now if we can just get Imfazl to make his presence felt, we can actually get this campaign underway.

The witching hour approaches, after all...

Kaze o you really have to watch your aliases for posts. If you don't fix that one, I'm going to have the NPC react as if you just suddenly changed from a human to a fox-like humanoid while walking away. Remember which form you are in, and make sure to post in that form. Speaking of which, kudos to Quimkithe for remembering that in her posts.

I changed it!! I actually noticed before your post.

I changed it!! I actually notice before your post.

That you did, good catch.

Sorry, I'm going as fast as I can. I've never built a magic user so this has been a little overwhelming.

Notes: I'd like to have a ranged weapon just in case so a normal bow and your average arrows would be great if I can afford it! Also please let me know if there is anything you think I should change or that I may have missed! I appreciate all the help you have given me already! :) I'm hoping to be able to game by tomorrow night!

Still need languages, you can have one more trait, or two more traits if you also select a drawback, and you can't put more than one skill point in any skill because you can't have more skill ranks than levels. If you can get me that, in addition to what you've provided me here, your character is done, and I can send you the PDF just as soon as you get me that info. In which case, there won't be anything, other than a completed profile, preventing you from posting in the gameplay forum. :)

Edit: I'll also need a name for your hawk familiar.
Editx2: I don't see the trait "manipulative?" Does it go by another name?
Editx3: I saw your mistake, your still looking at the racial traits associated with base race. I'm talking about these traits. They are essentially like 1/2 feats. Numerological Gift was one I know you were looking at. BTW you forgo the manipulative racial trait when you take Jiang-Shi born.

@Asteria:

Here's what I need from you in order to complete your character:

• 4 languages
• Where to spend 2 skill points (can't be in: Knowledge Arcana, Perception, Spellcraft, or Use Magic Device)
• 2 traits, if one of them is Numerological Gift (which is a crazy awesome trait by the way) I'll need you to roll the dice for it.

I bought you a light crossbow and 20 bolts, because that's all you're proficient with, it's a move action to reload, and does 1d8 damage. Let me know as soon as you figure these things out, and we'll get you hooked up to post in the gameplay tab as soon as we can.

@Finwe2154

I have not gone anywhere yet, you're gonna want to take back your comment.

You just had to be difficult didn't you ha ha

@Finwe2154

I have not gone into the library yet, I have not moved a muscle. I stood still and asked Kaze o some questions as she started to walk away. You cannot see me yet, because I have gone nowhere.

Edit: Nevermind it looks like you got it. Thanks

Sorry, I just do not know if i can trust you guys yet

@Malraith, Don't tell her Temerlyth talked to you and I because then you are not technically lying because he only talked to you not both of us.

Hey, if he wants to tell the truth let him :)

He would be telling the truth Temerlyth didn't talk to both Sadira and Kaze o

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

Idle banter with NPCs has never been this fun. :) Now if we can just get Imfazl to make his presence felt, we can actually get this campaign underway.

** spoiler omitted **

The witching hour approaches, after all...

Can I post before I have my backstory up? It will be done by tomorrow night at the latest. I had made plans tonight and I'll Also be busy tomorrow with a track meet from 3-7ish... Plus church ;) sorry guys! I know how excited you are to get started, I am too but my schedule has been all over the place lately! There is also a good chance I will just stay up super late on a creative spree of awesome backstoryness! I'm as antsy as you are :)

You asked and I quote "has Temerlyth talked to you and her?" The truthful answer to that question would be no, Temerlyth has not talked to both of us.

you might want to check your quote i asked if he had talked to you and her, slightly different, and the whole truth would be: he didn't talk to her, but he did talk to me

As for sam, the sooner he can play the awesomer, I can't wait :)

If your profile is done except for the epic back story, and I have the promise that your back story will rival Tolkien, you may post without it being done, but you'd best promise that that back story Rivals Tolkien!

Psssh, I'm sure it will rival Homer, Tolkien, and some other famous and awesome author combined!

The World Around You, I feel like rivaling Tolkien is a little impossible. Then again Decimous has a good backstory, You got this Imfazl.

I work til Close tonight so I will be back on around 1:00 a.m if anyone is willing to stay up that late to game, with me, if not Sadira will make a post, and we will wait for the morning for a response.

It will be close, but I'll let you decide what rivals what :) my first post was added also so Imfazl has made his grand opening act of shoving people out of the way and libraryless.

@Finwe & @Rednaxel
Haha I just read your argument about what I should/shouldn't do. One thing I should point out is the story comes first to me. I don't care about petty rivalries between players. I care about how my character would react to each instance especially now that I am in my element here. What I feel makes a character beautiful, is when the author can give that character life, not just treat it as a fake fantastical creature, but like a living, breathing being. It's how I write, and it is the real reason I made Kaze o the way he is. 16yrs old and 5'7? match a description of anyone you know? I created him that way so I can jump into his personality, his very essence, easier than I could a bulky, muscle headed orc who, although can be very fun to fight with, would not be easy to get into his character for me. When we use a grid map and minis, I will gladly take advice because it takes me a bit to plan things out and think of every possible outcome, but here I have the time to watch Kaze o's actions, his thoughts, his responses, to make him, in a sense, real. I guess all it boils down to is that Kaze o has a part of me woven into the fabrics of his existence, making him, not just a character, but a way to learn and bond with people. I do fully realize that I'm really only conversing with about 5 people at maximum, but sometimes I get so absorbed that it doesn't feel like 5, it feels like hundreds. Its pretty cool to see fantasy as if it is real sometimes, so you can step into your characters shoes and see what they see, feel what they feel, and ultimately do what they do. Now if Kaze o needs help making a descision, he might ask (provided you are trustworthy enough), but most often, being the independance seeking teenager he is, he will act on his own accord. So when you offer suggestions ooc, more than likely, they will not be heard or they will be "taken under advisement" or, more bluntly put, ignored. And that was my 10:08 fantasy rant. Thank you very much...

First off, that was kind of beautiful. Second off I was not serious in my arguement. Based on how Kaze o interacted with Sadira I knew he wasn't going to tell me nothing. I just wanted to have some fun and arguing over trivial things is something I enjoy. And thanks for sharing, man. That is something I enjoy about this game, you can really learn things about a person. Feel free to post more rants, fantasy or otherwise. :)

Funny thing is, is not only do you learn about people through their characters, but sometimes, you learn a bit about yourself as well. And yes my rants are quite often very beautiful, but they are few in numbers, so if you liked em, prepare there may be more coming down this long road, and if you didn't, well they are spread thin along this long road so there won't be very many.

Well I hope there are many, since they would be a testament of the longevity of this group and this campaign.

Okay, the first part of Imfazl's childhood is near completion, I've gotta proofread it real fast but otherwise it should be up within 10-15mins at the latest. I'll work on the rest of it tomorrow.

First...

breath... We are not trying to force you to play a certain way, I just really want to post more, about this campaign, I can't wait until everyone is actually in this. Also every character you build, should have some sort of connection to you. Every character I have built so far does at least. I enjoy making that connection with the characters. Some it takes longer to make than others but Finwe and Sadira are two who I have basically made a certain way for a reason. They allow me to express myself through them. I completely understand what you are saying. breath...

@Imfazl I like what you have for your backstory, i'm pretty sure it rivals Tolkien.

A couple of things I noticed.

• Tamarelle you posted character actions in OOC format. You can't do that, OOC means the player is talking. So whatever you put in that blue text is not part of the story, it's part of the game.
  
• Tamarelle you do not have the PDF character sheet linked in your profile. Please upload it to Google Drive, and share it so that "anyone with the link can view."
  
• Quimkithe the links to your PDFs are either dead links, or I don't have permission to view them. Please also upload them to Google Drive and turn the sharing to "anyone with the link can view."

I'll wait until everyone (except Asteria since her character isn't even completed yet) has their character open the letter, in whatever place or manner they choose, before I post what is in the letters.

I really hope that the others get on soon. Like Quimkithe I cannot wait to find out more!
