The Curse of the Void (3.5)

o.O Sounds cool, count me in.... and you picked the best time, night. I managed to get the 3.5 rules as of late, so I can once again be a rule monger (as all DMs love). I'm not quite sure as to what I shall be as of yet, but I shall tell you soon enough.

You know what character I'd go for...if you are still willing to do that and all of course. Might need to ask around for some help as I've never done TWF, at least not in 3.5e

[color=darkred]Hmmm... Only two players so far. I'll give it a few more days; a week or so I guess.[/color]

Gah, just because it says 3.5 it doesn't mean it is overly different. Most things remain the same, however others have been changed for the better. Players will not need to buy the books to keep track of all the rules, as I am sure Saber, being the rule monger he is, shall do that for us. Join please, this sounds quite exciting; how often do you find such an elaborate story dealing with old artifacts and such? Wait, don't answer that, just post that you will play, please. I beg of all of you.

Dedication is a good thing as well, players who don't show up is bad, considering that Saber himself is rarely around to be a DM. Speaking of that, I still need to confer on how to make this 3.5 char, as I might be missing a few things here and there.

I'll play for sure if there's some way i can easily get my hands on the necessary modifications, if i don't need to buy the books to play 3.5 i'm in :)

I will play. I am available most nights. I created a first lvl ranger too, i will do some editing and give it to ya sometime soon.

I have attempted to join several games lately, but none of them got off their feet... so... You can count me in... I already have a character concept now all I need is a CS...

3.5 Character Sheet:

http://www.rpgsheets.com/sheets/Dungeons%20&%20Dragons-%20Third%20Editio...

And that makes the group as follows...

A Ranger
A Pirate
A Fighter
A Bard
A something

Oh, and make sure to look at the bottom of my first post to see information on the general setting of the campaign.[/color]

I have my character made... I will be the tank-fighter. As for play times, I will be available mostly on the weekend, though weekdays will work if we dont play after 9 PM (I have a curfew now.. *swears under his breathe* stupid parents..)

Hmm... so it looks like we need a thief, cleric, and attack magic user. Sigh, I shall a bard, as I am yet to attempt the new 3.5 version, even though it looks great. You just have to love Gnomes.

Actually... come to think of it... Being the brute might be fun and all... and it is usually the most promicing positions.. but I have always been a fan of the theif... Im gonna go down that route... change me from tank to theif.

Erm... scratch that again, Ill keep my origional character, as I have run out of character sheets... plus a change of role may be good...

Ok..I am most definitly in.Female Ranger. Iryssa.

Ok I have come to sing my praises to Saber. That last session was the most awesome I've had in a very, very long time. I so rarely get to use a character to his/her full potential, and I've got to say that this time I did. Awesome description, mysterious characters and that special piece of equipment that you know he now longs after :) Anyways, hope to do it again soon.

Gah, I have said it once, and I shall say it again. We really need a cleric. I am already being a bard, so I can try to cover for the rogue and mage... though only if I am lucky, but we have no way to heal other then resting... Just an observation.

He's right, we really do need some...sort of spellcaster besides a bard because well...you get the idea. And I'm sure that Saber will throw all sorts of nasty things at us, providing we ever get this game off the ground! :D

Oh and Melubb...I am a pirate :)

[color=darkred]Ok, well, I've been doing a shitload of thinking (did you know you can't swear on DnDO's forum? Gay...) and I've figured out what will occur next in the story plot. I need to do a little mapping, but other than that, I'm good to go. Muddy's intro is about half-finished, so one more session and we should be ready for full-group play. I hope to start the group moving next week sometime.[/color]

[color=red]Enjoy your Valentine's Weekend![/color]

[color=darkblue](Here's an idea for those without a special someone: Go out and ruin other's Valentine's Day. Go to restaurants with a few others and do obnoxious things, moon people as often as possible, give one person in a couple that you find a fake valentine's card (Maddox's Pube one works PERFECTLY for this...) Have some fun with it!)[/color]

:twisted:

Awesome, finally getting group play...Hopefully we all don't hate each other and work together (and coincidentally gain gold *cough* pillage and plunder) :wink: Good times people, lets do this.

I am looking forward to the group session as well.

And yeah, Happy Valentines to everyone.

Happy Capitalist-Love-Day!

Why must everything be capitalist? I agree its commercialized but you still don't have to lose the spirit to the dollar.

*sigh* And I thought I was cynical...

Edit: Just realized this post has little to do with CotV. So um...run it soon Saber, we like it. :D

I know I was being overly cynical, but I don't need a day to say "I love you"... but I suppose the fact that it is one day of the year makes it more romantic or whatever... bleh..

yes, Saber, stop ----ing your girl and lets play man!!

[color=darkred]Ok, here's the deal.

This weekend, I will be AVAILABLE. I know, "Oh my god, he's kidding, right?". No. I'm gonna be here ALL SATURDAY. You guys had better fucking be online. This is gonna be one super kickass session.

We'll first finish Muddy's intro (maybe on Friday night, if he's here), and then on to group sessions. I have the first one done, approx. running time would be about 2-3 hours at least, ceiling being about 4-5 hours. After that, I am so well-prepared that I have even the second group session started. I've got enough of that done to actually run it, if such an awesome thing occurs.

Please, everyone in this game post when you'll be online Saturday. We need to play this weekend.

Lastly, what's more is, I'll most likely be available to play this Sunday too. Not all day Sunday, due to phone sex work (I hate my job), but later on Sunday we'll be able to play. Again, please post as to when I can expect you all to be online Saturday.[/color]

EDIT: [color=darkred]If you havn't received the following things, please talk to me:

Meksturzan town map
World map (with Meksturzan marked)
Your revised character sheet

Lastly, Dark, I need to talk to you about something.

Oh, and Muddy: Guess a number, 1-50. The closer to my number that you get, the better.[/color]

Saturday I am pretty much available all day too. So from whenever I wake up (10 am-11am) to 10 pm. After 10 pm I have work.

Saturday I shall be there! I could use a good, fun PC time...considering all the debacles lately :P See you all there.

[color=darkred]Kickass! Everyone's intros are done, and I must say, they were all quite good! I shall try to have them up under the story thread by tonight... If Morro leaves me alone long enough. :P Just kidding. Well, I hope to see you all online tomorrow![/color]

I must be the only one on the story thread! *bothers Saber to derail his progress* Mwhahahahahah...hey everyone be on tomorrow on penalty of sharp, pointy death.

[color=red]*Melubb looks shiftily around*[/color]

Methinks I should be scared, as I won the picking of the numbers. I knew I should have picked 50.

[color=red]*Melubb glances over his shoulder*[/color]

Hey, whats that?

[color=red]*Melubb runs away screaming*[/color]

[color=darkred]Woo, that kicked ass. What, that was how many hours long? 13 or something? Most awesome.[/color]

[color=green]34 goblins later... The group is only at the bridge. Will they make it to the end? They're near out of cure spells, and they are slowly running out of Hp... What will happen next? They still have halfway to go![/color]

[color=darkred]I see that I am free the same time, next week. Please, everyone, post your availabilities and... Let me know what you thought of yesterday![/color]

It was awesome yesterday. The encounters were really exciting and dangerous.

The goblins now know not to mess with a ranger with pbs...well the dead ones do anyway.

So far it looks for next saturday too, if something comes up over the weekdays I will let you know.

I would love to partake in another 13 hour session, however I cannot garuntee that my nazi.. er... interned addicted... eh... father.. will be so allowing.. (he only yelled at me for 20 minutes, then gave up.. was pretty good, hehe) ahem, yes, I will try to show but no promises...

Ahahaha all I can say is...we cut a huge swath of destruction through the goblin hordes while trying to reach the city gates. All goblins must fear the destructive power of this fully armed and OPERATIONAL battle- er...group. And amazingly, I haven't been injured yet 8) That was definitely needed to get the RPG juices flowing again, and I'm pretty sure next Sat. I'll be there.

Hmm... I will try to make it, no promises though. I shall update if I will be here soon. Hopefully our next session will show more places for me to use my roleplaying abilities, as I am not quite cut out for combat. Especially since Saber wouldn't let me have a whip dagger :( .

Maybe you can buy one in Wiach/Cale...wherever we decide to go after we leave the city (then again, I'm the spokesperson huh, I guess I should decide...first we need to survive outside the city siege though :shock: )

Eh... I don't like this whole spokes person idea... It works for getting us out of the city alive, but after that I beleive we should discuss our plans instead of just following an ex pirate around like we got nothin better to do..

[color=darkred]You guys are doing the spokesperson thing wrong, that's why. The spokesperson tells me the final decision, that's all. There's also [commonly] a group leader (many times the same person as the spokesperson) and a combat leader. The group leader makes the out of combat decisions (with group input), and the combat leader sets up (BEFORE COMBAT) various battle strategies that the group may use, and attempt to execute them in the heat of combat.

Just my two cents.[/color]

Yes, and when you think about it theres very little time for debate during a siege escape...I'm perfectly willing to listen to you folks input, or step down, or decide whatever, but I think it can wait until we've escaped a dangerous situation. Thats just my input on it...oh and can we avoid the whole slurring of characters? Vaine does have a plan, kinda hard to tell it at the moment though. Eagerly awaiting the next session on Friday/Sat.

I wasnt slurring you.. you are an ex pirate and it does seem odd to have an ex-con lead a group of non-ex-cons....... I have no problem with the fact that you were a pirate, it isnt my place to judge, I just deliver the punishments...

Hmm... Well, who says that Galmen is not an ex-con? Or Dontar? Or Lusre for that matter? Just because YOU are not an ex-con, doesn't mean the rest of us aren't. Also, some pirates happen to have morals (hopefully Will falls into this catagory) and very good leadership skills. Besides, do you even have any proof that Will is a ex-con anyway? For that matter, I never even remember seeing him say he was a pirate.

[color=darkred]Ok guys, I've got a question for you four.

Later in the campaign, some attack force will most obviously be assembled to take back Meksturzan. Now... I was just wondering... When this happens, would the group like to take a small break from the regular D&D action to play a small minigame, where you four control the forces attempting to take back Meksturzan?

See, this game isn't going to be some walk in the park, though. It won't be easy, and it will have an impact on what happens in the story and to your characters. Do good, you get some obscure rewards. Do poorly, suffer some obscure consequences.

I'll give more details on how this game would work after I know if everyone is interested in it.[/color]

That sounds interesting to me, so I will support the idea.

Have something to prove, Melubb? If not, good, the conversation is over. If you are however, I am going end it here and stop your overwhelming urge to point out Muddy's mistakes.

Now that that is settled... I cant really say OOC what I will be thinking in character.. so when the time comes, Ill decide to give my support or not.

Aye taking back Meksturzan should be a fun little dealio. And uh, we shouldn't worry too much about leadership of the group, I'm sure everyone can agree on a mutually acceptable compromise :) (I'm a politician already :P ) Anyways, how about we discuss it now, while we are at it. I was thinking of heading up towards Wiach, or maybe heading towards Cale. Group thoughts on this? Good/Bad idea?

BTW: Melubb informed me he can't make it Friday/Sat...will this destroy the game plans?

Ok let me be the first to say...holy crap. That has to be the biggest battle I have ever seen on Opnp. The final battle alone was what...16 goblin swordsmen/spearsmen, 6 worg riders and Hozar? Total kill count was over 60 goblins! I mean wow....and we just escaped the town by the skin of our teeth and I guess we made it to Wiach ok. Where do you propose we head from here? That is, if anybody cares.

Edit: This Saturday I *think* I'll be in Vegas...I'm not sure. Talk to me about concerns you have.

[quote="Saber must have been riding the cotton pony when he"][color=darkred]This is my thread, so I feel justified saying it here:

[u][b]MORROLAN, YOU'RE A POST WHORE.[/b][/u][/color][/quote]

[color=darkgreen]Alrighty, with that out of the way, everyone has escaped the captured town of Meksturzan. The short travel to Wiach happened without incident. Now, the group has to decide where they're going. Dontar has recommended the southern pass through the mountains. It's not as dangerous, and is of a lower altitude. Also, there is a small town to stop at as a waypoint in the center of the mountains.[/color]

[color=darkred]Next weekend, I might be free. My dad [asshole] said we could start working on my car [not asshole] possibly. As you may have guessed, my car is a fairly high priority of mine... So... Yeah. We'll see.[/color]

I think we may try to talk to the noblilty here, if there is any, to see if we would be able to catch a ride in a airship. While unlikely, it is possible said people will allow us to fly to Tinandre.

altho, i don't particulariyl belong here.. um.. post whore?
i think not. just cause he has nothing better to do (or chooses to devote such a large part of his life to) then monitor the forums and post his feelings and thoughts and ideas doesn't make him a postwhore. you want a post whore, go to dnd-o forums and look at nyx and shan.
at least morro's posts have content.. inassomuch to be near 90% or so

[color=darkred]Sorry, bad mood yesterday. That was the first thing to catch my eye. Red to a bull, you know.

At least my sig makes sense.

Now, to add minor justification to my above post, the posts in Support & D20 were fairly irrelevant. One was a bump, and I don't know what the other was. Yet again, bad mood = to blame.

Sorry Morro.[/color]

Not to beat a dead horse or anything but. I stand behind Morrolan 100%. He is an active member of the OPnPW Community and his posts in general are a model for others to follow in. The one post I don't like is in the support forum and thats it. Hundreds of posts and I can think of one.

Post Whore? Not at all.
Nothing better to do? Thats not it at all, he doesn't sit here 24/7 he reviews the forums and posts his thoughts. I do the same thing to when I can, so he is able to do it regularly so what.

I go beyond denouncing the statement, I thank Morrolan.
