Very well. Your PC is something like a wizard, wears grey armor, and is kinda old. Avatar:

Grabbed a more actiony pose, tweaked eyes to be both white and glowier, added a semi-Frankensteined hat, and used a dodge tool to make the bling stand out more:

Would you like the hat more or less silly-looking? Want me to do something about the foot-tentacles?

EDIT: in case anyone is curious, this is where I ripped the original hat from:

Fine by me. Either that, or a ginger bread man.

That's awesome. It's perfectly ridiculous.

Looks like we have 3 players, with the possibility of more trickling in once the game has started. I'm a little occupied at the moment, but will probably be able to start the game this weekend at the latest.

All right, I'm out. I've fucked up my back something fierce and I can't really sit at a computer. So, sorry guys.

My sympathies. Hope you feel better in the future.

In about sixteen hours I'll be heading out of town for the weekend. I'll be back some time sunday.

Very well. Game starts Sunday.

In the meantime, question:
Do we want to start the game at the entrance to the dungeon or the point in the voyage there when obstacles start to appear and I bust out the sketchy sidescrolling GIMP battlemaps?

I'm not particular. Do we need to rationalize at all our reason for being together, or do we not care?

You are adventurers. You are presumably here to stab things in the face and take their stuff. You have also presumably found that you work well together doing this, and are grouped together to improve your chances at successful dungeon-looting. You are welcome to come up with a more complex goalset / background if that is your desire.

As a dom3 player who hasn't played d+d since he was 11 (and that was 2nd edition) this is very cool, thanks for this. Don't have time to learn to play what is clearly a very different system, but it is fun to read.

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Fri Apr 22, 2011 5:24 pm

You are welcome. If there's something you'd like to see in the game, feel free to PM a request.

It sped up. "The 2 small and fast-moving clouds shoot together"

Presumably, the small clouds were moving at a speed lower than their maximum prior to this.

Can you stop using Time Frames that are actually lies, and just use distances then?

I mean, if you are going to measure all distances in ETA, the ETA should probably not be off by a factor of 5.

That seems reasonable. If the PCs encounter a situation like this in the future, I will try to provide more, clearer information.

In addition, once this encounter has been resolved, I intend to make a post asking people for some details about the sorts of challenges they would like to encounter in the game, as well as those they would definitely not.

Time for player input:

If an ability is described as "similar to a spell, but X, X, and X.", and is explicitly a Supernatural ability, how should it interact with Dispel attempts?

Supernatural abilities cannot be counterspelled unless specified otherwise.

I would assume you can only dispel SLAs...

Thank you for your input.

I have not seen any posts in this game for around a month at least. I am declaring it dead. I take solace in the fact that the cabal of mages likely to serve as the main antagonist in the dungeon was kind of a dumb idea in hindsight, and now nobody has to see it.
