Campaign: Ascension
Moderator: NWN2 - 11 DM
Re: Campaign: Ascension
I have a non-adventuring company idea that works for starters involving a Patron NPC. I'll run it past DarkHin. There could be some variety to reward possibilities, but likely to lean more towards the mercenary and coin paradigm by default. I know there will not be time to come up with individual RP motivations for all 10 PCs on day one. PCs are adventurers by trade, and that should be reason enough for anyone wanting in on the campaign.

Re: Campaign: Ascension
A patron pulling us all together with an offer of gold/magic/information/warm croissants/whatever sounds fine to me - then we can all meet and do the macho-I-am-tougher-and-badder-than-you bullshit that occupies so much of our role-play. Once that is out of the way, then we can kill some folks and take their stuff (the core of any good D&D game!).
I think the patron thing and the name of the "adventuring company" and all that is going to have to come from the DMs - organizing 10 players to get together to discuss anything, let along getting them to agree upon something, is a practical impossibility. So ... you know, leave it to the DMs to create whatever thing draws us together, THEN let the players do their thing and either come together or kill each other or whatever.

Re: Campaign: Ascension
That is the plan. I've dropped the adventuring company idea, as requested, in favor of a patron NPC and a simple plot hook. After the initial session you guys should have a lot of freedom to do as you please. There is some wiggle room for IC motivations as well, but I don't want to spend the entire session haggling.Mikayla wrote:I think the patron thing and the name of the "adventuring company" and all that is going to have to come from the DMs - organizing 10 players to get together to discuss anything, let along getting them to agree upon something, is a practical impossibility.

I am only going to have around 2-3 hours to play, so the more time we spend on the grouping up initially, the less time there will be for the session plot itself. At least from me. DarkHin will probably be closing out most sessions I think.

Re: Campaign: Ascension
It's a new year, fresh new campaign; here's to us all having an excellent, positive experience during the course of this run.

It’s not the critic who counts...The credit belongs to the man who actually is in the arena, who strives violently, who errs and comes up short again and again...who if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement, but who if he fails, fails while daring greatly.-T. Roosevelt

Re: Campaign: Ascension
I believe all EPCs have been approved to play in the campaign as of today. Darkmystic and Peter were the last two. If you are playing an EPC, please make sure to get a planetouched token from DarkHin or I tomorrow if you do not already have one.
Please make sure that you have rolled your PC and logged in at least two times before the scheduled start tomorrow. The second login is required to trigger the ACR skill and language window adjustments. Thanks!

Re: Campaign: Ascension
If I remember right, these characters should only be logged in and played for the campaign, correct?
Re: Campaign: Ascension
Nope, you can log in early. I've DM'd a couple already. Ronan killed one as well in the middle of my session with it... I'll double check with DarkHin. We discussed not leaving the server. Can't remember if that was mandatory. If you leave Soubar you may risk being killed on sight on most ALFA cities.
We should add this to the OOC discussion tomorrow I guess.

Re: Campaign: Ascension
Alas, i missed the 2nd session with other more pressing matters. Could someone please provide me with the gist of the rest of the she-devils speech and the aftermath?
Thanks heaps.

Re: Campaign: Ascension
I shall PM you my redacted log, and I'd like to do a "make up" session with Mouth, if your free sometime before next session.
DM on WHL
Re: Campaign: Ascension
Any chance of this moving to the weekend?
Re: Campaign: Ascension
when ronan is done with WHL in a month or three there is a chance of Sunday night game. DarkHin has offered to ad hoc folks as well, and I can on occasion also.
