Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 We tried to reach a consensus on the next session last night, but we failed miserably. Time to start throwing out dates until enough people okay them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Or we could just do a process of elimination, and see what date crops up as most available. Personally, any time before 6:00 PM EDT (5:00 PM CDT) won't work for me. Tuesday is also out (NCIS premiere), but any other day will work. As for preferred dates: Saturday and Sunday would work the best for me. But any day that's not Tuesday will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 For me, weekdays after 5:00 PM Eastern work best, except for Thursday, when it would have to be more like 8:00 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Tuesday doesn't work if I'm to ever see the first hour of a session. I'm pretty much free any of the other days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Ouroboros Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Can I join this RP or is too late for joining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 If you want to join, the best approach is to: 1) Send me a character. 2) Be at the next session. 3) Wait until I drop your character into the story. Of course, we're at 5 people right now, so unless people start failing to show up, or keep leaving their character uncontrolled for several hours at a time *cough* duck *cough*... yeah. I'm not sure this can take 6 players at a time just yet. Oh, and I will do my best to post characters soon, including inventories. And I'll have decided how to dole out more HP/skill points/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 You're always welcome to stop by as a spectator. They get to play every now and again without making a new character. Don't know how it'd work with your schedule though. It'd be like 5am-12noon for you.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 (checks the calendar) HAH. ...according to the scheduler, nothing in the next four weeks works. And that's just with four responses. Duck, are you really only free on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday? That's kind of killing us here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 As I stated, I'm free practically any day, but those are the days I won't be at least an hour late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Okay, thank you for clarifying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 ...alright. So with all five recurring party members having voted, these are the days that work: -Saturday, September 26th Yes, that's the only one. Near-misses: -Sunday, September 20th (Sarachim) -Monday, September 21st (Nikki) -Tuesday, September 22nd (Nioca) So, unless someone sits out a session, or is willing to watch NCIS the next day online, the 26th is the earliest available option. Personally, I really like that Tuesday, but I still don't have any serious constraints, so I can go with whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It could also be taped (I love my DVR) or Etris could just be taken over by a spectator for an hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Originally Posted By: Ephesos or is willing to watch NCIS the next day online, I have dial-up. It'd take the better half of an entire day to just get the whole episode. That said, I do have a VCR, so if worst comes to worst, I can just record it (honestly, I was expecting there to be quite a few more available dates). If it is on Tuesday, I'll be there.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Monday can work for me - it's just that I get home from work about a hour/a hour and a half after the session starts, and if I've been working for 9 or 10 hours this probably isn't the best way for me to unwind. That said, if somebody could cover for me until I arrive, I'm fine with missing the first hour or so. And it'll mean Nioca gets to watch his show. Your call, E (and I really like that Tuesday too ).

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Okay. So it now sounds like we're down to two: -Monday, September 21st -Tuesday, September 22nd I'm inferring one vote for Monday (Nioca) and one for Tuesday (Nikki). Everybody else, vote. (Either one is fine by me, and both give me some time to prepare.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 First instinct is to vote for Tuesday though it doesn't matter much one way or the other for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 ...okay. The vote is relatively close, and the people who are actually affected by the outcome are evenly matched. And the DM just realized he has plans Monday night. So, the next session will be Tuesday, September 22nd, 5pm CDT. Bring your good luck, you will likely need it. Also! I have divined a method for "leveling up". The characters eligible for that are Etris, Lindy, Conall, John, and Kaval. (Cumulo was only in one session, Thuja none) To "level up", do this: 1. Add your Strength score in HP. So John, who had 1 Strength and was at 5/10 HP, would go up to 6/11 HP. 2. Pick one of these four: Increase one Ability (Str/Dex/Int) by 1. Learn a new skill at level 1. Gain a rank in two skills. Gain two ranks in one skill. Capiche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I've missed out on so much! Well, I'll spectate the next session on the 22nd if I can. Never actually played D&D (or any DM-based roleplaying game, really), but the transcript of Nikki and Eph sounds fun. Maybe I can join in at some future session.

It just occurs to me that there's no defensive skills, which fighters will probably start noticing as they face harder enemies. Or is it incorporated as part of their Martial skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yes, that is fine. Hm. Yeah. Defense was kind of thrown together on the fly. I wanted it to be similar to D&D but simpler, and you're right... I left out a way for anyone to train in defense without simple maximizing their Dex at character creation (*cough* Cumulo!). So I'm going to go with "There isn't a Defense or Parry skill because nobody has trained in it yet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I can speculate for Tuesday but will need to go do some other things for a bit in the middle of it but then I'll be back. Just like I always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Weekday evenings have gotten worse for me in general due to some on-call work I'm doing with my old agency. Also, thanks to some annoying construction-related parking restrictions in my neighborhood, I'm getting up and going to bed earlier. So I might be able to make it for a session, but it's better not to plan around me. Feel free to pass Cumulo on to somebody else, remove him entirely, or keep him in DM-stasis as you prefer.
