Forming New Group
Moderator: NWN2 - 10 DM
Re: Forming New Group
Guys, i wanna try and run a first step of a minor plot i've got in mind (guesstimate 4-8 sessions).
Mostly crawly type thing - with IC breaks between sessions - I.e not everyone needs to be in every session,
but that means I'll need to set prior to starting, which means a time frame will help.
Let me know if there's interest. I would like to get with some DM or other and get some practice on combat controls before as I am rusty... But other than that I'm good.
Whatcha say?
A. Interest?
B. Times?

<paazin>: internet relationships are really a great idea
Re: Forming New Group
Sure. If there's isn't a huge level disparity involved.
Re: Forming New Group
Maybe.

Re: Forming New Group
Well, I would suggest those that want to be involved...might want to get in game and actually meet members of OGR's group, to start with.
As for level disparity, the highest level in the group thusfar is the level 6 cleric, however, the toon is extremely underpowered, as all physical stats are lowish, feats taken are support feats (read augment healing/crafting), and spells memorized are support spells by and large (read remove disease, lesser restoration, mass aid, stabilize ect).
There is interest!
I can play any point beyond 2 pm est on weekdays. I prefer not to play after 12 pm est, as I get up at 5 am to go to work. Fridays is not likely doable at this moment, as I've a heegz session on TSM (though I could do afternoon early evening). Available weekends.

Re: Forming New Group
THanks for stopping in Lokan, that was fun stuff! I get a good feeling for your NPC's!

Re: Forming New Group
Well, this group has been ignored and thus eliminated.
Those who can have self-made doll houses have prevailed.
If you play a PC in a way that disregards alignment, you are doomed.
Shank is lonely, and has no friends who say "fuck this system". But, he still will fight for whoever wants to pay coin, or maybe just for fun. OR what they once called "adventurers".
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Re: Forming New Group
Dude. Not cool. How others choose to play the game shouldn't impact on -your- fun. I guess all that "pipe smoking" has left a bad taste in your mouth.SCI-kick wrote:Well, this group has been ignored and thus eliminated.

(Alfa is littered with player groups that never got going beyond a few sessions. It's hard to organize people to turn up regularly. Especially when peoples play styles differ. Pointing fingers when you should be looking at your own actions doesn't help.)

Re: Forming New Group
There are...about 3 PCs in TSM I know what are alignment 'loose', but hang out with some goodies once a week. Maybe take shank north?

Re: Forming New Group
I'm not sure what's hoped to be accomplished with a post like this.
If the proposition is meant to be to convince those players to drop what they're doing to join you, that's a pretty terrible offer. To the sort of person who waits things out in the sorts of patterns that produce high-level characters, your group is probably two weeks of furious activity followed by six more weeks of attrition to nothingness. That's just the standard arcs of posts like this, and they all look the same when they start. Probably better off letting it pass and seeing what the next one looks like; might hang out with those ones before they collapse like the ones before it.
I might suggest trying to rally people to a cause that's compatible with the people who are already on the server. That tends to increase your options, and you're more likely to endure slumps in activity if you have a reliable player to hang out with.

Re: Forming New Group
Don't mind me... Just getting bored. I guess I like to get everyone riled up with pleas for a darker setting. Anyway, if anyone wants to play a more dangerous style with Shank on BG, let me know.Zelknolf wrote:I'm not sure what's hoped to be accomplished with a post like this..
I mean, I'm practically begging a DM to kill him.

Re: Forming New Group
Frankly, this was a fun group while it lasted. I had 3 or 4 PCs die and end up buried under Praten's tree in this group. All of them went out in the course of high risk adventure. That's epic in my book.
If Mick and Lokan were still DMing on BG they wouldn't be ignored either. But alas, all good things come to an end.
There should be room for all play styles and all alignments on our servers. Some folk like to play the long game and aim for prestige and longevity. Others like to come on like gangbusters and go out like a roman candle. BOTH can be fun, and neither side should be discouraging the other style of play. Live and let live, or err die =P
