Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

I need to cancel these sessions. Apologies to the players; it seems that my limit is somewhere more than 2 games and less than 3, and I'm finding this for sure as I confirm I won't be prepared for the next session even having two weeks to do it. To keep sanity, I have to drop the youngest campaign, ...

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

A quick bit of information about dice-altering abilities. Like if you have some source of luck rolls, inspiration, portents, etc. If you're keen on using these mechanics on some "hidden" type roll (like if you're being lied to by someone who you don't already suspect, or if you're trying t...

Re: "You have been booted"

What does your client extension's console window say?

If you're not using the CE, you should, so you can tell us what it says. Our servers explain bootings with a message, but if you don't have anything keeping records of those messages it's hard to catch them.

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

This session ended with the group hitting the mark for level 2. Folk not there or who couldn't stay to the end still level; though those attending get the inspiration bonus for the RP.

Re: PA election February 2017: Congratulations causk

Hmm... might want to look into how your search algorithm handles quotes; the correct set of quotes changes with dialect, so you can't normally assume them (and even if you can, users are super unreliable about that sort of thing). I think the candidate is indexed as "The 'NO' column" Prett...

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

So how good is roll20? NWN/NWN2 Roll20 Tabletop Prep Effort Lots* Some Little Inline Effort Little Some Lots * Lots, but can be shared if you join some kind of multi-DM effort. But then you also have rules to follow. ** Also, these compare to each other, and aren't absolute measures. It's a lot of ...

I don't think the brown forum theme survived the last phpBB upgrade.

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

To match, there would be some house rules that prevent building cities on magic (so non-repeated use of spells like Goodberry works as written, but trying to survive exclusively Goodberries would result in some serious problems) and some mild alterations to resting (specifically, I'm going to make ...

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

Missing two people while we were resolving character generation -- so here's hoping that folk don't have questions needin' answers in conversational timelines, because very little overlap. So right now, we have Foam -- playing a ranged Ranger (in 5e, this is a striker) Rumple -- playing a barbarian ...

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

The chat bot also repeats the channel's contents to to Discord, which persists chat history, so we can retrieve if we need. Missing the first session is fine; the selected time is unambiguously trying to make something work when we have few options and none of them are ~quite~ good.

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

So, how EXACTLY would we all "meet up" for this? What sort of communal cyber venue will we be using? How do rolls go again? both for character creation and during game play? I don't mind if I play, if Zelk rolls all my attacks and skill checks for me. Of course if we did have a communal r...

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

I note well the grim cost of people playing D&D instead of playing D&D, but the players indicated their availability, and I picked the timeslot when the most people were available. Everyone volunteered their participation and is free to leave at any time for any reason. I might be sad if the...

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

So, next step would be getting characters rolled. Starting at level 1; going to ask to skip any planetouched or dragonborn. I'd have some trouble working out how those characters would get to Versberg, looking as dramatic as 5e makes them. Stats are 4d6, drop the lowest, arrange as you please; rolli...

Re: Looking for Players, play by chat, 5th edition

Unfortunately, the whenisgood puts red everywhere (and I learned this time that whenisgood stops putting dots on cells and just goes over to numbers at a certain point; the schedules of people on this thread aren't terribly compatible). The fewest number of people that I can cut is two, by putting i...
