Youyouyou

queen lagoon
#

I was clearing my throat for singing thank you

real abyss
#

La la la la la (this is a text you should be able to hear)

queen lagoon
#

So what you'll need to play this game is obviously discord lol, but you'll also need a roll20 account as this is where i'll be hosting the game from, once you've made an account let me know and i'll send you the roll20 game invite via DMs

real abyss
#

Let me guess, Bard?

queen lagoon
#

I'm the dungeon master lmao

#

i am everything and nothing

real abyss
#

Cool, I’ll figure it out later today

storm tinsel

I’m running errands right now but should be able to make a account in a hour or so

queen lagoon
bitter vine
#

Oh okay

#

Will this be a text or vc kinda thing

steep elbow
#

Greetings! I’m at work currently so I can’t have a super full discussion. I do have a Roll20 account, but what do I need to send for you to invite me to the game?

I’m personally typically free on Wednesday and Friday anytime around or after 5:30pm. otherwise weekends (Saturday and Sunday) I should be open all day for the most part.

#

Central time btw

bitter vine
#

Friday is good for me too

queen lagoon
# bitter vine Will this be a text or vc kinda thing

It would be VC as it makes for a better way of playing but if you really can't use VC due to mental health or concerns then thats fine i understand completely and we can try to make it work with VC and text 🙂

bitter vine
#

okay i made a roll 20

queen lagoon
steep elbow
#

Great. So what day does everybody feel like is a good time to play?

queen lagoon
#

Well as long as it isn't a wednesday or a thursday i should be good to play the times for you guys, works out roughly to 11:30pm for me which is fine like i said as long as it isn't on wednesday or thursday, what about yourself @storm tinsel

queen lagoon
#

then its sorted we can do Friday nights

#

If you guys join the invite link then i can assign character sheets to you and we can go over character creation tomorrow night 🙂

#

Nevermind you guys are in except @real abyss lol

real abyss
queen lagoon
#

cool cool just let me know when you've got the time 🙂

real abyss
#

About 2.5 hours from not

real abyss
real abyss
queen lagoon
queen lagoon
#

hmmm its currently 21:18 for me right now lol, im sure i'll be able to work something out

real abyss
#

Yeah you're in a part of the world that ISN'T North America lol

#

Ok I've created a 5e character, but I've never played online, so I'm sure there's gonne be a fair bit of non-RP help needed

real abyss
real abyss
#

I can't see the sheet anymore, so going by my (non)photographic memory

queen lagoon
#

If you go onto the roll20 theres a charactermancer you can use to streamline things

#

I assigned you a sheet in the game

real abyss
real abyss
queen lagoon
#

I'm not seeing a character called Niel HighCyborn

real abyss
#

Dont tell me it doesn't save or I didn't save?

#

Do I need to import that?

real abyss
queen lagoon
#

Yeah, i've not got pro so i can't turn on the import character setting, which means you'll have to do it all in game

real abyss
#

Only DM need pro?

#

for those functions?

queen lagoon
#

Yeah

real abyss
#

Oh I can change character name AFTER import?

queen lagoon
#

Yeah i think so

real abyss
#

let's try

queen lagoon
#

Also you'll need to level it up to level 5

real abyss
queen lagoon
#

Yeah the module is for level 5 and up unfortunatly

real abyss
#

let's quickly mess wi the character thing, I'll re-import after levelling

#

looks like I can change name but it didn't bring the sheet in?, you can also delete characters yes?

#

Ah I used 2024 rules

queen lagoon
#

Yeah, if you just do it on the sheet while your in game it'll make things quicker coz i've looked at the game settings and the import character settings is on, so the doing it in game might be your only choice

#

I've also shared my compendium with everyone so you've got access to like 90% of the D&D things on Roll20

real abyss
#

Ok, I'll sheet later, right now I got to do life shit, you might want to delete all the extra characters for now

queen lagoon
#

Cool cool

real abyss
#

What a stupid system, can't even gift plans, just amount

real abyss
bitter vine
#

do i launch it to get a sheet?

queen lagoon
bitter vine
#

where is charactermance..

queen lagoon
#

Click launch game

bitter vine
#

okay i did. i dont see anything called charactermancer

queen lagoon
queen lagoon
# bitter vine

On the right hand side tool bar where the chat is at the very top of that there should be some symbols it goes chat icon, painter palate then a single book icon click on that and you’re character sheet should be there 🙂

real abyss
#

Yup I got the basic gist now, movements and stuff will be a bit more to figure out , but that needs to be in game

#

Basically almost everything is done through the character sheet, neat

real abyss
# bitter vine oh gotcha

yeah it's all done on the character sheet, so just make a character, or make one on the character creator and use the plus key to bring them into the game

bitter vine
#

what do you recommend for notes like allies enemies and backstory?

queen lagoon
real abyss
#

Neil's a newcomer to the group, his backstory is that he "used" to be a Scarlet Pimpernel/Arsen Lupin/Zorro kind of character... master thieving "for good" by night while posing as an aristocrat (retired decorated soldier) by day (but the group doesn't know that, they just know him as a down and out "ex-rich guy who was apparently a really good soldier"). But he got older and lazier... and complacent... someone recently robbed him blind (reason hidden for now) so all he has is everything on him and 100 gold... that's why he joined up, he needed MONEY to restart.

He's a high dex high charisma HALF-ELF ROGUE character with excellent acrobatic and persuasion, but shit constitution and even worse strength.
He also has expensive tastes and extreme desires/need for gold.

Classic purebred Chaotic Good character.

steep elbow
#

So what time on Fridays did we agree on? Also what date should we start?

#

@queen lagoon is the artificer class available as a Roll20 sheet? I want to make a Hedozi artificer, though I can alter my character idea if it’s not available

#

Oh and uh...which of these characters are mine?

#

nevermind I found it.

#

I think instead of using the character creator I'm going to just make my character sheet from scratch.

#

I now need to think of the backstory and character for my Hedozi artificer

bitter vine
#

okay think i got all mine done

real abyss
#

I'm Niel Cyborn, and the other character is my bag of holding (presently empty)

real abyss
real abyss
#

<- 2 hours vs your 129 hours

steep elbow
#

I forgot to ask a couple of very important questions @queen lagoon What level are we starting at? And are we using the 2024 rules or the 2014 rules?

real abyss
#

We are allowed to do a bit of stocking up for inventory, as long as it's not too over the top for a level 5 character

bitter vine
#

wait so we are supposed to make a lvl 5?

real abyss
steep elbow
real abyss
#

I've got some tools, a grapling hook, a climbing rope, a hooded lantern, some oil, and a bag of holding... and 100gold, that's it

#

Oh, a shortsword, a rapier, 20 darts and 2 daggers (and a set of Fine Clothing that is a disguise)

#

I've got no food or water, which I assume we're going to be doing that in RP

steep elbow
#

I think the character got made for me. I decided to switch things up. I'm a red dragonborn barbarian...a mercenary outcast from his previous band for failing to fit into their standards and is wandering just looking for any kind of job to do as long as it involves doing what he does best, which is fighting. It's the classic chaotic neutral barbarian

bitter vine
#

im a wizard that have killed millions

#

jk

real abyss
#

Honestly tho? If you did, I would’ve said “nice”

steep elbow
#

But anyway, I now need to work out the backstory for the character to hopefully be a bit better and detailed.

real abyss
#

I can only see mine

steep elbow
#

My character is a mercenary, so if any of the players want to hire him as a bodyguard or decide to work with my character for some reason, feel free to let me know.

real abyss
#

Man, it does sound like we are a band of greedy fucks that will do anything for gold haha

steep elbow
#

I mean my character is a classic grump that doesn’t understand the concept of fun.

#

Basically he’s the movie version of Knuckles

real abyss
queen lagoon
queen lagoon
real abyss
#

and the example character was like this bwahaha

#

You just hate me, I knew it... confirmed tomlol

queen lagoon
#

What about now?

real abyss
#

I see Doomblade now

#

It's a level 1 tho

queen lagoon
real abyss
#

This is Niel and his token

#

Courtasy of Midjourney heh

#

WAY better looking guy than me, and probably too young for the character. Niel was probably using his profile picture from 20 years ago tomlol

queen lagoon
real abyss
#

Ouch, but yes heh

steep elbow
#

@queen lagoon were having a session 0 to make sure everything is set up correctly right?

queen lagoon
steep elbow
#

Oh today? That soon? Wow…what time?

real abyss
#

Friday is a crap shoot, sometimes 2pm (4pm central, 10pm gmt) is fine, sometimes WAY later, so don’t worry about my time

queen lagoon
bitter vine
#

did we even agree to a set time?

#

dude it doesnt save my info. i keep having to enter a backstory over and over again with my personality traits and stuff

#

?

#

?

steep elbow
#

@queen lagoon I have to agree...I received no indication of a set time or even a day. You have to let us know in advanced the time and day because a lot of us are busy and need to make sure our schedules work.

queen lagoon
queen lagoon
steep elbow
#

Sure...but Session 0's are also usually for establishing any house rules or maybe giving players a clear idea of what to expect. But that's fine.

#

How much detail do you want us to give in our backstories...I'm guessing not too much right?

queen lagoon
#

Also its an official module no homebrew or anything like that so theres no need for house rules

steep elbow
#

Well I certainly approach things differently as a DM...it is worth noting that when I say "house rules" I usually mean things like any alterations to rule to make play the way you or other players feel comfortable, as well as general stuff on behaving well or else risk getting banned...that kind of stuff.

queen lagoon
#

Also theres no need for any alterations to the rules for this module

steep elbow
#

Got it.

#

Note that this will be my first time playing with the 2024 rules.

queen lagoon
# steep elbow Note that this will be my first time playing with the 2024 rules.

As far as im aware, the 2024 rules only really alter stuff for classes/subclasses which on roll20 is all automated anyway so you shouldn't have to worry about it too much, the rest of the rules, as far as im aware are only minor, i've not come across any major rule changes that make it vastly different from 5e as a whole

bitter vine
#

so i edit my backstory again and it isnt saving it after im done i have done it 5 times what am i doing wrong?

real abyss
#

And do it without popped out...

real abyss
#

find your character, don't touch mine lol

bitter vine
real abyss
#

odd...

bitter vine
#

done it 5 times

real abyss
#

did you click review character and then save and exit on the last page

queen lagoon
#

Looks like you've not taken your equipment so its not registered as complete

real abyss
#

You can edit after

bitter vine
#

where is the edit?

real abyss
#

just click next until review character, click that, and there should be a "save and exit" on the last page, top right

queen lagoon
#

Apologies for my absence today guys, im also working on a Call of Cthulhu adventure lol

bitter vine
queen lagoon
#

Yes sir

#

That should be it, its showing as level 5 now

real abyss
bitter vine
real abyss
#

Process still fresh

#

@queen lagoon doesn't look like a completed character sheet thoguh

queen lagoon
#

I've had no contact from them at all

real abyss
#

huh

queen lagoon
#

But it should work just fine with the 3 of you especially with the class mix

#

The last person on the list

#

i've heard nothing from them

real abyss
#

It makes no sense that I have the proficiency and I STILL throw like a toddler bwahaha

queen lagoon
#

Thrown
If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the dagger has the finesse property.

#

this is the explanation the rules have for thrown weapons

real abyss
queen lagoon
#

So im not entierly sure how the range works

#

In Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, the range for an improvised thrown weapon is 20 feet for normal range and 60 feet for long range

chilly saddleBOT
real abyss
queen lagoon
#

Yeah that also what i got lol

#

so we'll go with that, im assuming a long range throw of 60ft would be thrown with disadvantage, but i also have a feeling since your proficent it won't matter

real abyss
#

but on my sheet lol

#

I need to change those to ranged

queen lagoon
#

I can do now coz im on the game

real abyss
#

But I can't find it

real abyss
queen lagoon
#

There should be an option if you click on a cog under the attacks thing

real abyss
#

I've only got 2 daggers, so they are sort of last resort throwing... I would be throwing darts

#

won't let me edit type

queen lagoon
#

The sheets aren't loading for me lol

real abyss
#

let me quit the sheet, might help

queen lagoon
#

Nahh even my example sheet isn't loading lol, we've got stormy weather at the minute so it could just be my wifi

real abyss
#

lol

#

"wifi"

#

To be fair, my laptop doesn't even have a ethernet port unless I use a dongle

queen lagoon
#

Also i've added a Dagger ranged attack to your sheet

real abyss
#

Did I just drag the wrong thing from the compendium?

#

haven't played a proper glass canon for ages

queen lagoon
#

When doing the throwing attacks

real abyss
real abyss

#

can we join a call and ask questions

bitter vine
#

what does the ship look like to help with naming it

queen lagoon
#

Just give me a time and let me know

thin vector
#

The ship looks dope

#

Not very good with coming up with ship names:
Starhunter, Swordfish, Moon Strider, Dawn Treader, Iron Butterfly, Galaxy's Hand, Silver Stream

bitter vine
#

@real abyss

real abyss
#

Bessie, the ship’s name on Futurama

bitter vine
#

I Was in vc for 2:55pm till 3:20ish

real abyss
#

damn

bitter vine
real abyss
#

I'm into something stupid... like Bessie or Big Bertha hahaha

#

Probably not the best person to ask if we want to have a cool name.

thin vector
#

Also question; do our characters know each-other backstory wise or are we all meeting for the first time on the ship?

bitter vine
thin vector
#

Hmm okay

thin vector
#

How detailed did you guys get with your backstories?

queen lagoon
#

@thin vector this module is slot in module meant to take place in the middle of a campaign, hence why characters are level 5, so i'd say its probably best that the characters know each other

bitter vine
queen lagoon
bitter vine
#

i tried under bio & info but nothing there to click

queen lagoon
#

If you got to the bio you can just click on the character backstory text box and it works

bitter vine

From one person who has chronic sinus issue to another

queen lagoon

Nahh not yet, the only time they hand out anti-biotics for sinus infections here is if its been going on for longer than a week, been the same every time i've suffered from one coz the NHS is cracking down on anti-biotic over-prescription to stop super bugs

Good grief, hope you’re ok next week
