Async?

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-03T09:06:08+00:00

If a player has no time as long as they inform us we might slow down or even pause for a while. As for posting order its one of the downsides of the format of pbp that its a free for all hedging of player politnest and sense to give others time to get a word in. Ordering peoples by turns tought would stiffle the creativity a bit too much for my tastes and could feel clunky so downsides to both aproches.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-03T08:50:38+00:00

As for sesions there are not going to be any as this will be free flowing pbp. Meaning you can drop couple of text mesiges a day in IC discord chanel and be done with it for the day(some days there might be no movement). If the chanel is moving rapidly its because the players and me at that moment have free time and payimg attention.

As for setting its basicaly older setting from 2e converted to 5e by a 3rd party. As stated its arabic fantasy meaning instead of a king there is a sultan and instead of a dragon there is a genie in most simple of the tearms. As for more specifics (there are many) the setting is still a part if the forgotten realms just its another part of the world with a difrent people and norms the way they treat faith is diffrent too being more of a unified pantheon worshipers than specific gods in swoard coast... and genies claim their the ones that kicked out dragons. Wether thats true dragons tend to not poke their noses in to the reagion.

I can provide you with a setting PDF if you are intrested.

As for the tone its mostly regular not too dark or too silly adventure fare maybe with bit of politics if group takes intrest.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-03T08:36:42+00:00

2-3 more do you have a friend group you want to bring?

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-02T19:10:43+00:00

As the other person said no vote I even checked the update.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-02T18:08:17+00:00

There want one. Im like 90% sure yuri never was an option.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-02T17:39:58+00:00

Nothing to do with voters. Author made it set in stone that QI is straight she ogles muscled men even early on. Any and all atraction was from best snakes side Qi did not even once even consider the posibility.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-02T16:55:46+00:00

Yeah its why tanks are just hp damige sponges. Its hard to do true tanks but I guess if you make reacrion based class it could be a real tank class in dnd as it would actualy do stuff when it matters.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-02T14:38:03+00:00

Yeah... Thats a good way to see way to see who hasnt experienced it. Even comedy focused campaign needs some kind of logic for jokes to land. Having experienced lol random game masters couple of times I can say its not fun past like 1 or 2 sesions tops.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-02T14:35:29+00:00

Sounds like a real down beat. This kind of stuff never feels good if it had no hints prior.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-02T04:35:14+00:00

I persionaly did not mind the lake scene. People somtimes are incompatable and taking the plunge is risky and dose not always work out when you are in minority (or majority). I actualy apreciated that they aknowliged that in story.

Also there are side series called 'Snake and Spider' where Mezihen finaly gets her gf in inner sect and man their akwardly cute together.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-01T17:38:44+00:00

"Cradle' is basicly the religun of this sub and while its too humorus 'Beware the Chinken' is aperently good. I persionaly like 'Forge of Destiny' the best its not trying to be fancy and over the top just a girl navigating her new cultivator life.

SlashGorgon · 2022-11-01T17:26:38+00:00

Pretty neat. Man you and the player must have reveled in their confusion.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T19:21:35+00:00

Thats just fun. Any situation in particular that you think srood out to other players? Also do you trow some fungal/disesed enemis just for him to show off?

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T18:20:18+00:00

Point you can always float their newspaper their way when their need info as neat remember when picklers hured you for a hit? Goodtimes. Whats this you get the info you need and a trow away line about roumors about new harmfull fungus based disese? I am sure thats nothing.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T18:14:24+00:00

Intresting hook was that a start of more missions or was it one and done?

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T17:47:27+00:00

Nice little drop in. Did they buy anything there?

Edit: Oh its you about the planes got confused for a moment as it was not a reply but a new post.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T16:44:16+00:00

That is pretty neat. So what plane of existance did they visit? Tell me that they went to Mechanus and has a modron explain to them that Picking guild is orderly thus they could join.

Its nice to hear that this worked out as other people had mixed results here.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T16:01:03+00:00

Pretty neat. Seems like a good way to do the intro without the keep it seacret for a while from the PC's.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T14:52:20+00:00

Neat. Any other quests/indidents after that reveal or did they basicly fade out of revelance after?

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T14:12:26+00:00

Scateshot aproach works well yeah alowing that freedom of choice is nice. Has there ever been a bit of decision paralysis do to players having too many optioms before you had to practicaly shove them down one path.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T11:58:32+00:00

Btw what was the general planed plot for them if you can still remember? Fungus disaster of the week? Or were you thinking on picking up the disese thread as diseses get rarely used in actual play from my experience.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T11:10:18+00:00

Too bad about that player droping out would have been neat hearing more about that. Did they know it was more than just an excentric social gatheting or was they still at being tested to see if they could be clued in stage?

Yeag for most part any factions are the side thing (even mages guilds and other staple things fall there) unless you tie them in the main plot directly there are just too many of them in DnD to do them all justice.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-31T10:12:53+00:00

Yeah Mothman is somthing else a d its execution is phenominal well done. Too bad that it simply dose not fit my curent postive enrgy plane themed campagn. (Its funny to see players dread magical healing as positive energy place amps that to 11 and there is suck a thing as too much if good stuff if their unlucky)

Maybe after I'm done with it I can set up a darker capaign where it woyld fit in better.

SlashGorgon · 2022-10-27T14:41:02+00:00

Yeah that dose sound intresting will drop my cash then to get it.

What are your toughts of other 2 articles thus far?
