So, since the direction of our game has changed... again. And since the idea of posting in a thread named 'Summer Game' is too painful lately, here's a new thread for new beginnings.
What was tentatively decided was that the meeting on the 27th would be for boardgames and further discussion, leading to a lv 1-20 dungeon crawl campaign run by Steve to follow.
I intend to play an oracle and the healz role.
-
Ok looking back over the mod it seems it is actually a lvl 1 - 14 or so mod.
My friends Ian and Alexis are both in for the game so our group is full.
Character creation rules: One archetype if you use them. Races and Classes are open, if you want a weird or far out there one run it by me first. Point Buy - 20pts, no stat to start over 18 before racial modifiers.
It is a dungeon crawl but there is a town nearby that is a 'quest' hub and place for buisness. It is run by a Hellknight order.
The group will be coming knowing each other ahead of time.
-
Point buy? That's downright communist!
-
I swear I never *ever* thought I'd see Riley run a point-buy game.
Should we have characters created before the next meeting? I'm thinking of playing a paladin, druid, or alchemist depending on what other people play. My basic decision algorithm is ->
Lack of tanky characters = paladin
Party has tank + rogue-type = druid
Party needs rogue-type = alchemist
Yes I understand there are many, many scenarios not covered by that simple set of rules. I'll make up something new then. Probably alchemist if we've got paladins and druids already.
Glad to hear we have a full group.
-
There's a way I can make my oracle super tanky. But it's based on which mystery I pick, so it can't be changed in-game.
-
I wouldn't worry over-much if I were you. Kinda comes down to how you wanna play it though.
-
Eh, I've always been about doing amusing cool stuff over effectiveness. Why else would I love the monk so much?
-
I recall your 4e fighter being pretty effective. At least in terms of his tank role...
-
Unfortunately the really cool 4e tank didn't come out until after that campaign.
Can't remember the name of the class, but if another character was hit with a melee attack, you could sacrifice your NEXT standard action to run over there and force them to hit you instead.
-
I forgot that I already had plans for this Friday night. So the first session will actually be on 3/13/15.
Classes so far:
Rick - Oracle
Alexis - Inquisitor
That's all I have been told so far.
-
Friday the 13th. An inauspicious beginning.
-
Does it help if that's my lucky number?
-
Depends on if you're trying to TPK us right off the bat.
-
Can't access this thread from home...the only thing I can figure is someone in Boston made a DoS attack on the Battlegrounds IP and the firewall put my area on ignore for a few days.
If there's no game on the 13th, do we want to get together for board games? We'd potentially only have three people for it.
Should we have characters prepped on the 13th? If so, let's try and keep this thread updated with what people are playing, although I'm aware no one cares about that NEARLY as much as me.
Are story feats allowed, Lycosan, or do you want to avoid the trouble?
-
I'll definitely be there for the board games, if only to break up the monotony of the week.
I was thinking of being an aasimar. Is that ok?
-
Aasimar isn't a weird race. If vetoed I'm calling shenanigans!
Who's gonna come on Friday? We were talking on steam about doing board games instead. Be nice to know there will be more than two of us there...you IN Tom?
-
assamir is fine
-
So are we launching on Friday, Riley? I am ready to Pathfind.
-
I'm curious if we know anything more about group makeup.
-
Rick - Oracle
Alexis - Inquisitor
Ian - Slayer
That is all I know at the moment.
And yes we are on for this Friday as of now.
-
Thunderous silence. This may be something bad. Or it may be something good.
-
I'm more of a glass half full kind of person. Usually because I've already spilled the other half, and I'm just grateful to have saved anything at all.
-
I drop the glass and it shatters like a grenade on the cold, cold tiles.
-
Yo.
-
There will be no game this week. Sorry guys.
-
NoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Anyone up for alternatives/board games?
-
I'm down. Anyone else? Any LURKERS wanna game with us?
-
I won't let an entire month go by without a post!
-
We're only seven days in, dude.
-
But it was almost a full month since the last post.
Therefore it totally counts.
-
I like the cut of your jib, sir.
Would you care to bake cupcakes with me?
-
Creepiness factor... rising :-\
-
Dont worry josh, D will bake you cupcakes. He has profession backer.
-
So what's going on for next Friday? I remember that last time there was a worry that some people might not be able to show since it's a holiday weekend.
-
Well I will be 550 miles away. No go for me.
The weekend AFTER memorial day I might be interested in more weekend boardgamin.
-
Correction: There will be no game tonight. We are now down 3 people. I do not like running things when half of the group is not there.
-
This cannot be!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Oh well. I had a bad feeling this would end up happening.
-
Unless something goes horribly wrong, i will not be at game friday as i will be out in western mass running around in the woods
-
Guess we're one away? I'll probably trundle out on Friday evening to do a board game thing even if we cancel. Or maybe I'll go again on Saturday afternoon?
-
We are actually down 3 people for tonight. So no game.
I'll come down on Saturday afternoon if you wanted to play boardgames then. I more than likely won't be down at the store tonight.
-
Rick and I doing some board games if you wanna stop by.
-
We're still on for Friday the 3rd? The only one I know that definitely can't make it is Josh.
-
Yes, we are still on for the game. Sorry for the late response.
-
I arrived down home at 2 am on Friday morning and I THOUGHT OF YOUUUU.
-
I made a dwarven cleric of Kurgess. For the lulz.
And what kind of board is this that doesn't recognize dwarven as a word?
-
I can hardly wait to recruit all the new PCs. Gonna nurse D back to health, buy snazzy new outfits, then find new members for our newly created adventuring group: the Rat Pack.
-
I may be late. Some issues have popped up at work so I won't be able to leave until around 5 or later. Then I will be dealing with the lovely traffic.
-
Traffic looks terrible.
I've got some boardgames with me if you end up really late. We can waste time.
-
Hey guys, at the moment it is looking like I will not be able to make our game for the 28th. We are moving out of one Data Center and into a new one. The servers that I am responsible for are moving that weekend and it starts on Friday Night. Now hopefully all the work I have had to put in these last two weeks for this move has made it so this will not be a problem. My group is only 2 guys and we are both tasked with being on this move. At the moment what is making it so I am not sure is if two of the other groups actually get their work done in time or not. If they don't I won't be able to make it, if they do I will be a little late to game.
I will know more next week, I hope to get an answer by Wed at the latest.
-
Always good to hear updates. Do people want to meet for boardgames again on Friday?
-
Ok It should be all good to go for Friday night. I got dates mixed up. I am oncall but barring any actual issues I will be there.
-
Good. Now give me a lift.
I really can't take that cambridge to abington drive.
-
Well, I ordered more card protectors so I could sleeve the Legendary Secret Wars I got for anyone who was interested in playing this Friday. Unfortunately, it looks like they might not arrive in time. Josh, let me know if you still want to get together in case I don't see you on Steam.
-
Just got an email from my boss. Because of my excessive amount of awesomesauce, she's giving me half of Friday off. This means I can hang out with my mom instead, as she is going to be in town that afternoon.
Let me know if anyone wants to meet up some other day this holiday weekend.
-
Just an FYI; today I'm working from home, and can't leave until 6:00 because I'm responsible for monitoring something. So I'll be later than I usually am, especially since I can't avoid any of the traffic on 18 this way.
If I'm not there yet and pizza is being ordered, put one in for me. I'm good for it. :)
-
I can't really leave till six either, so I expect I'll be there a bit after 7 pm.
-
ok, so I came up with a new character that can't be dissolved in acid or drowned in mud... probably.
Well, in any case it's way less likely.
Everything still go for tomorrow? I won't be in until 7-ish again.
-
I'm going to try and make it there a little earlier, but we'll see.
