[scarlet crescent]

thats... a lot of minis

[burnt sorrel]

dont suppose as cnfirmed no stream tomorrow if yall can do a session?

<@&1248006648744902809> ^^

i know some of yall work thats why im not sure

[umbral osprey]

i for one can

[burnt sail]

got some other stuff to do tomorrow so i can't

[spice bobcat]

some folks need to take some kinda supplements stated many times I work 12.5 hours Fri - Sun nights

glad peeps always enthusiastic to play tho

[proud pebble]

look, just because I can never sleep and have a work schedule that lets me do work whenever I want to, doesn't mean I always want to play D&D.

I always want to play for a completely different reason

[scarlet crescent]

for my early b-day present, my friend got me a d12, with different smex positions on it

he got me other things but that was the thing that stuck out

[proud pebble]

pics or it didn't happen

[scarlet crescent]

happy?

[proud pebble]

I only see 4 sides

[scarlet crescent]

[spice bobcat]

seems like a fun game with the right ppl

[umbral osprey]

How... do you know what number it landed on

[burnt sorrel]

a goldfish could beat me in a spelling competition, a log would beat me in a memory contest

[ancient sun]

If we start right this second i could play for 3 hrs

[burnt sail]

who's going to tell him

[burnt sorrel]

im not 100% sure yet, but i probably wont be able to make it tomorrow. no one make mayo from my jug while im gone

[proud pebble]

[spice bobcat]

if we canceling then @ me so I can go back to sleep tmrw

[proud pebble]

I'm happy to still run it if everyone else if happy with us being a man down. Grimm did separate himself after all

[burnt sorrel]

no dont cancel, you guys can still play just catch me up on prog

[spice bobcat]

my alarm still set for 6. i can easily work around grimm missing but you should get with cannon and cover the time we end up going in the game world so you're not just standing behind the hut for 10 hours or w/e

[burnt sorrel]

Yup okay

[burnt sail]

sorry guys I think I need to cancel too my laptop battery is not going to last until the session starts and I still have work to do

[spice bobcat]

no worries. <@&1248006648744902809> as we're two men down i think we should postpone the session and maybe see what jeannie's plans are see what we can squeeze in during the week instead.

[proud pebble]

[scarlet crescent]

[umbral osprey]

[proud pebble]

<@&1248006648744902809> as we potentially have Reddit review later in the week, does someone want to make a post about our shenanigans?

[burnt sorrel]

i'd love to but that would probably take longer to do than we have time for, if anyone wants to create a short recap feel free. I'd like to do some sort of narration with visuals but that would take longer. Just be aware it needs to be short and sweet for on stream content and those that are not in the know.

idk how you go about comissioning them, but something like those best of animations you see that recap a story someone says on a podcast etc would also be great (not something i can do myself tho, cant even draw a circle straight (or well... curved) )

[spice bobcat]

should just do one like the oversimplified channel

[proud pebble]

I think any kind of update would be fine, it is kinda on one of you guys tho because I don't actually keep notes for what happens in sessions, I make notes for what I've planned which often doesn't happen

[spice bobcat]

i don't do reddit

[proud pebble]

either that or someone send me your notes and I'll do a write up

[spice bobcat]

i do just enough to remind me

[proud pebble]

The party attends the Dinosaur races, placing bets and trying to improve their odds
Dunn persuades the owner of one of the dinosaurs to allow him to act as the rider in one of the races, dispite this being the first time Dunn has ridden a dinosaur he pulls off an incredible feat and wins, gaining 300 gold for winning.
The party gathers supplies to prepare for their venture into the jungle, buying food and a large canoe. During this however an unknown snake-like humanoid sends a large number of bricks tumbling onto Joff, nearly killing him and Dunn. Dain and Grimm give chase as the humaniod runs away, losing him in the crowd.
The party leaves the port by boat, travelling down the river Tiryki to reach Firefinger. Several days of travel pass with no issue, this doesn't last however as the party is attacked by a giant crocodile. Several party members go down during the hard fought battle before the beast is slain by Grimm shoving his dagger through the roof of it's mouth. Dispite all the danger the only consequence of the battle is Feldspar becoming overwhelmed by a surge of magic causing him to become 7 years younger. The next few days are filled with travelling and fighting as an attempted ambush by a group of Grungs, a small humaniod frog-like people, is quickly dispatched.
Arriving at Firefinger, the party begins their ascent up the 300ft tall pillar. Rickety ladders are their only way up. The party reaches a cave part way up containing a pit. Whilst attempting to cross the pit with a rope, some subtle tampering from Grimm sees Feldspar fall in and be attacked by 4 Wolf Spiders, nearly causing his death (2 failed death saves out of 3). After saving Feldspar and slaying the Spiders, the party encounters their most dangerous adversary yet, a damaged ladder, Joff and Dain both fall off the ladder with Dain falling unconcious. Eventually they make it to the top of Firefinger, facing a large group of Pterafolk, the party emerges victorious, even managing to take one of the Pterafolk captive and interrogating it. The party claims their reward, gaining lots of gold and the loyalty and free services of Azaka.
The next morning, the party sets the captive Pterafolk free and begins their descent. Once again the ancient ladders of Firefinger prove to be their greatest foe and Grimm falls, landing on top of Dunn. Fortunately however the party reaches the bottom of Firefinger without any further issues. Setting their sights on their next destination, the party sets off for Camp Rightious, a small base of humans that has stopped sending patrols out.
Several days pass, the party has a good time drinking Dain's new batch of beer while seeing the many types of exotic flora and fauna of the Chult jungles. On the 4th day the party spots a group of goblins massing for an ambush. Feldspar casts mage armour which goes wrong and a Flumph is summoned, the goblins realise they've been spotted and move in to attack. Unfortunetly for the goblins, they are badly outmatched and are all slain excpet one who manages to run away.
That night Grimm gives Scarath a strange potion that causes him to be teleported to the Astral Plane. Tension erupts in the party with Dain and Dunn tying Grimm up and questioning him. Grimm says that he sent Skarath to be with Grimm's patron and that he may or may not be back and if he is then he won't be the same. This was not Grimm's will but the will of his patron. Begrudgingly Dain unties Grimm but promises to keep a very close eye on him.

After another few days of travel the party reachs Camp Righteous, it appears abandoned and burnt down. The camp is built at the foot of an 80ft tall statue of a man carrying a crocodile on his back, an opening in the staue leads to a corridor with a spiked pit. The party uses a boat to cross the pit but Grimm gets impatient and moves ahead, triggering another trap. Blades spring out of the walls and slice into him, almost killing him. After much deliberation the party manages to jam the blades. The next puzzle takes even longer to figure out and requires pressing the right buttons on a door in order to open it. The reward for the parties effort is a rare Alchemy Jug, capable of producing large amounts of a variety of liquids from nowhere. Upon exiting the statue, the party is ambushed by more goblins seeking to claim the valubles of the satue themselves. After a breif struggle, the goblins are once again defeated.
A debate follows as the the next steps to be taken, eventually the party agrees to travel first to camp Vengence and then to Orolunga, the home of a powerful Oracle who might know where the Soulmonger is. On the way to Camp Vengence, the party comes across a staue to Ubato, the deity of Chult and possibly it's creator. In a bronze bowl, Grimm finds a map sketched on Dinosaur skin, marking something called the Heart of Ubato.
The next day, the party reaches Camp Vengence and even from a distance they can see that it is under attack by zombies. The party rushes to help the defenders and during the course of the battle, a wild magic surge causes Feldspar to go bald. As the last zombie falls the ground starts to shake and an immesnse zombiefied Tyrannosaurs Rex bursts out of the jungle. A lengthy battle ensues with multiple members going down, the toughness of the rex is unbelieveable as it just won't go down and the party is on the ropes before it finally hits the ground (re)dead.
The party enters the camp and goes to speak to the leader, Niles Breakbone. Unfortunety he's in over his head and dismisses the party without helping them much. The party spends the night, sleeping thorugh 2 further attacks during the night. In the morning the party is approched by Ord Firebeard, the second in command at the camp, they ask the party to look out for 2 people, a man named Artus Climber and an unknown human that destroyed part of the camp's defences. Dain recognizes the human as Gunther, a man that killed his friends years ago.
Leaving the camp, the party makes a detour to the Aldani Basin to search for signs of Gunther and Artus, however they find nothing. The party further detours to the Plateau of Mbala, the seat of a former kingdom that has long since been destoryed. On the way they are attacked by another Giant Crocodile but thanks to the parties' training from the past weeks of travel, they are able to easily dispatch it. The party reaches the foot of a set of stone steps leading to the top of the Plateau and decided to rest there for the night before heading up.
Reaching the top of the stairs the next morning, the party is greeted by a destroyed and rotting gatehouse covered in piles of human skulls. They wade thorugh the skulls to reach a small hut with an ancient woman walking around. Grimm hides in the ruins and sneaks around the back of the hut as everone else speaks to her. She says that she's been here for over 100 years since the last person visited her. She claims to be a witch doctor and could cure Dunn of his curse if the party helps her by clearing out a nest of flying monsters on the southern side of the Plateau

That's what I got so far, let me know if it's any good

[ancient sun]

The party has just hit level 5

[proud pebble]

[violet cave]

Been a DM since 2019

[umbral osprey]

we getting a new member

[proud pebble]

do you know what you'd like to play?

[violet cave]

what's the party comp right now

[proud pebble]

I'd rather you play something you want to rather then pick something to fill a role

but we've got a melee ranger, a paladin, a warlock, a sorcerer and a barbarian

[umbral osprey]

our warlock is also half rouge

[proud pebble]

also that

[violet cave]

cackles Kenku Abjuration Wizard

[umbral osprey]

you cant stab the new party member at least give them a couple sessions to live

[burnt sail]

excited to have a caster in the party who isn't at risk of exploding with each cast

[proud pebble]

now now, you can cast cantrips with risking exploding

[burnt sail]

I refuse to be the "1 damage fire bolt" guy for the rest of the campaign

or well, "2 damage fire bolt", now that I'm level 5

[proud pebble]

but think of the content

[umbral osprey]

its too late for that

you're forever "puff of smoke feldspar"

[burnt sail]

goddammit

[proud pebble]

Imma clip down the fire on your mini to make it more suitable for puff od smoke Feldspar

[burnt sail]

I'm not even mad anymore the jokes are too funny

Puff-of-Smoke Feldspar is actually not a bad nickname unironically

welp, there's a really intense storm going on in my area, so my internet might drop out at any moment

[violet cave]

oops

[proud pebble]

btw guys, I've moved my trip to the first week of September so that game will be cancelled (unless one of you budding DMs wants to run a one shot for everyone)

[umbral osprey]

you're gonna have to remind us again come the time cuz none of us is remembering this

[proud pebble]

I know, but letting you lot know in advance is important to me

[umbral osprey]

[proud pebble]

Dude I used ot play with in highschool would cancel sessions AFTER they were due to start because he wanted to hang out with his GF

[umbral osprey]

thats just disrespectful never waste people's time

[proud pebble]

that's my point

I'd still hang out with my other friends in the group but it's a big part of the reason we stopped playing with him and switched to Vampire: the Masquerade

[violet cave]

What a SIMP

[burnt sail]

welp, as of today I am officially the same age as Feldspar

[proud pebble]

happy birthday bud

[burnt sail]

thank you

[proud pebble]

my dad got me more minis
because that's something I need more of frfr

[burnt sail]

family feeding the addiction

[proud pebble]

although cheeky fucker said "here have a late B-day present, paint these ones for me so I can use them in a game"

[burnt sail]

work disguised as a present

I got a new laptop, a phone, and a smartwatch, which are actually from my current company for work but they arrived today so it's like a present of sorts

[proud pebble]

oh daym

that's pretty good

[burnt sail]

it is, put together there's more money in equipment that I've seen together in my whole life

almost literally

imagine how many minis I could buy

[proud pebble]

not enough

[burnt sail]

probably

[proud pebble]

I'm doing an LOTR wargame day late september and I might need to get more minis for it and I'm sitting here just

[burnt sail]

are you playing with a whole army or what

[proud pebble]

yeah, it's not like 40k armies, it's like 30-40 minis per person

but the theme is

https://tenor.com/view/family-toretto-dominic-gif-23895685

so best I can think of is doing a rohan army with Theoden, Eomer and Eowyn but I'd need to get Eowyn

[burnt sail]

30 minis per person WAT

[proud pebble]

40k armies are like 70+ unless you're playing specifically an elite army

my Imperial Guard army is like 140 minis

[burnt sail]

damn

[proud pebble]

main difference between the two is that 40k uses a unit system, so you buy units of up to 10 minis and each unit acts as one
while LOTR is individual minis acting on their own

[umbral osprey]

happy bday

[umbral osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptzr70aVc4M

[umbral osprey]

@proud pebble yo when were you leaving again? cuz jeannie is streaming next monday (not tmr the one after)

[proud pebble]

I'm around next week, is this her switching perminantly or just a one off?

I'm going the first week of September

[umbral osprey]

one off , shes doing a collab with irene , so you're leaving the week directly after huh

[proud pebble]

yep

pretty sure it's then anyway

is she taking a different day off next week?

[umbral osprey]

it is i checked the calende

dont think so

she has 2 sponsors too

[proud pebble]

I mean I'm pretty sure it's the first week of september

but it might be the first weekend I leave and then it's the 2nd monday of the month

[burnt sail]

either way we still play today right?

Yeah today is unchanged

Guys I think we should do this next campaign

[proud pebble]

I'm not DMing next one so go for it feckers

[umbral osprey]

Would honestly be just as confusing as a player

[proud pebble]

[burnt sorrel]

I've just had a brilliant, totally unrelated, idea for our characters

[burnt sorrel]

If you'd be willing to teach I'd actually really like to try dming for the next one

[proud pebble]

I'm not really sure what there actually is to teach tbh

there's a load of pre-written one-shot adventures, maybe at some point you can give running one of them a try and see how you like it

[umbral osprey]

there is an elderscrolls module i kinda wanna try running

[proud pebble]

that'd be cool, a lot of stuff for ES started as a D&D game that the devs were playing

as ever, any questions any of you ahve about running games, just ask if you want help, not sure how much use I can be but I'll certainly try

[umbral osprey]

i am also a complete TES lore addict so ill be able to make lore up on the fly pretty easily

[proud pebble]

I used skyrim to get most of my HS friends to play D&D in the first place, "Oh, you play as a stealth archer, you'd be a rouge, you should come try it out"

[umbral osprey]

playing a rouge as you would a stealth archer would be giga boring for the rest of the party tho you would just clear every encounter without being seen

[proud pebble]

yeah, but THEY didn't know that

[proud pebble]

shut

[umbral osprey]

english is hard

@sudden frost in here bud

[sudden frost]

Thank you verily.

Range + stealth is the easiest way to cheese combat in many scenarios, both IRL and video game.

[ancient sun]

When i've revovered from my illness i have currently im available for sessions again. I got so sick that myocarditis and pneumonia were close to developing in me and i had to quit the military to protect my health

So im home now recovering from whatever the fuck i got there and might take a couple weeks but then im back

<@&1248006648744902809>

[proud pebble]

how much time do you have off?
we're meant to be taking the next few weeks off because Jeannie's streaming next Monday and I'm away the next
maybe we could lay on a different day next week if we're all free? If there's a stream we don't mind missing

[ancient sun]

So in short to make sure i get no further health complications as they provided inadequate health care over at the brigade i chose the route to switch to civilian service which i will complete in 6 years after university so i have as much time as i care to put aside along my studying for entrance exams happening in may 2025

So practically im off until i get a job sometime after christmas and that job would be a part time one if i do get the one i want

Also my body cant handle being awake for long periods of time yet as i was sick for 5 of the 6 weeks i was in the military and its super tired so i dont mind if yall planned on taking 2 weeks off as that will give me time to recover more

Im constantly super tired even with the tiniest movements

[proud pebble]

yeesh, that sounds horrible dude, we can definitely bring you back in the next session in 2 weeks then

it'll be good to have the old gang back together

[ancient sun]

Yeah, lets just hope ive recovered till then

[proud pebble]

If you haven't and you need more time then that's totally fine and there's no pressure to join if you aren't up to it

[ancient sun]

Kinda sad i had to end it due to FEARING MY FUTURE HEALTH but they didnt care enough for recovery time there to let me get better at any point so i would much rather be healthy in the future even if it means 2 weeks of sleeping 18hrs a day than complete the military that was starting to be barely enjoyable

[ancient sun]

Yeah, ik ill let you know when that time comes about how my body is feeling. Just make sure to think of a way to bring me back in as its gonna happen at some point

[proud pebble]

[proud pebble]

I've got at least the next sessions worth of prep done, maybe the next 2 depending on what you guys do

[spice bobcat]

that would be waste half the session discussing a plan that we'll inevitably not do

[proud pebble]

I swear tho if you fuckers decide not to go to the heart, I'm meteor swarming you all

[spice bobcat]

I wanna go there so won't be me

[umbral osprey]

[spice bobcat]

anywho let's not bury the ping lul

[umbral osprey]

you know what discord could use? temp pins on chat like the twitch ones

[ancient sun]

Btw if my character can learn catapult cannon finna be mad when i return

But whats this about a heart

[proud pebble]

[proud pebble]

you can have catapult if you want

the party has hit lv5 btw

[ancient sun]

Not when i cast it on the enemies heart or eyeballs

They wont survive

So uhh you sure about that

[proud pebble]

yes because RAW doesn't beat RAI

[ancient sun]

Dam

Gotta come up with something better then

But i still have a tad bit higher body temp than normal so wont be back for tomorrow thats forsure

[proud pebble]

yeah, that's her

[signal locust]

Cannon...

[burnt sail]

I would support that but then they'd want me to cosplay a bald sorcerer or a potted plant

[umbral osprey]

you would have to cosplay a rock

i would have to grow a wing and tail

[proud pebble]

who says I'm not already wearing this while DMing

[umbral osprey]

even a nat 1 wouldnt be survivable for a lvl 1 char would it?

[proud pebble]

you could roll a 0 and survive

[umbral osprey]

You can roll a 0 on a d100?

[proud pebble]

technically yes

but also no

[sudden frost]

The d100 thing reminds me of a problem we had with falling in previous sessions. Because from the raw rules it looked like distance fallen was traversed instantaneously by default (usual exception feathfall). That would make timing featherfall to happen before landing problematic in the d100 instance.

if you're a wild magic sorcerer, there's also surprise fireball

<@&1248006648744902809> attention group, we have around 1 hour left in the one-shot and have decided to finish up one hour before jeannie's regular stream time on Wednesday THURSDAY. cannon and chroma are invited to join in as well to help finish this with us if possible. we can postpone until Thursday if necessary for y'all to join as well.

[burnt sail]

I might be able to join on wednesday

[spice bobcat]

[scarlet crescent]

So I just remembered, I can't do Wednesday, friend just reminded me about a concert that has been planned for months If we are able to do Thursday, Friday or the weekend I will be free

[spice bobcat]

friday-sun i work so that leaves thursday

[scarlet crescent]

ok so Thursday we'll finish it off

if we have to reschedual for another day during nextweek we can do that as well

[spice bobcat]

short of that we could pick it up any day after the next session as i'll be off until the 20th. i always take my bday off so vacation will be in effect.

edited original ping

[proud pebble]

Cool, I should be able to do Thursday

As a side note, we got a Reddit review on Thursday so we should do a write up for the last few sessions

[scarlet crescent]

isn't reddit on Wednesday?

[proud pebble]

time is a closed circle

[scarlet crescent]

but are days?

[proud pebble]

maybe

point is that one of us should do a post about the game's progress

[proud pebble]

<@&1248006648744902809> could someone send me their notes of the latest sessions so I can make a post for tomorrow

[proud pebble]

This is what I bought at WHW btw

[burnt sorrel]

i've not been keeping detailed notes for a while, only whats relevent to my character

[proud pebble]

that's fine, I just need an overview to remember what happened

[spice bobcat]

i been getting slack myself but let me see

was checking what i posted and closed discord instead of the message LUL

[proud pebble]

that's good!

[umbral osprey]

amma be real , the only notes i keep are names

just so i can glance at them and remember stuff

[spice bobcat]

i try to keep enough to trigger my memory so what i type isn't always exact

[proud pebble]

tbh I just need general stuff that reminds me what roughly happens as I need to tldr it for the post anyway

[violet cave]

send the link for the reddit post too!

jeannie will learn about Kevin the kenku wizard xD

[proud pebble]

it's just gonna be a wall of text but I will

[proud pebble]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PotasticP/comments/1f8h9wh/community_dd_sessions_10_to_13/

[proud pebble]

yeah, it's a lot

16 hours of gameplay?

[burnt sorrel]

[burnt sorrel]

[scarlet crescent]

Sounds good, I'll be there

[umbral osprey]

[burnt sail]

so I'm guessing Feldspar just appears out of thin air

wild magic surge got me lost in the ethereal plane for a while

[umbral osprey]

you were asleep in a tavern maybe woke up late and found us randomly

[burnt sail]

I prefer this one, I just randomly show up out of nowhere

[burnt sorrel]

ill be there but might be a few mins late, just finishing a destiny 2 thingy

[umbral osprey]

why not both , wild magic surge yourself on top of us while asleep

you just fall out of the sky waking up suddenly on impact

[burnt sail]

I like this one

[sudden frost]

Dear Valindra: we should try to have a kid because with our types of hair the kid might have that dirty blonde color everybody seems to like!

The Sole Monger, so there's only one I guess.

[sudden frost]

Eye see where this is head-ed

[spice bobcat]

i shared a death-day with darth vader.

[sudden frost]

I'm not sure how to vote since my only request is that, if we continue to inhabit the same campaign/world, there are consequences. So there are multiple things I want to vote for...

[spice bobcat]

@proud pebble what happened to our guide? did she go back home to the port? feasibly she would know our quest since we were with her so long and could be a way to intrigue some passersby in the port perhaps who had their own reasons to remove the curse.

it's the only real way i can consider a hand wave as for me it needs to make sense to the campaign.

[umbral osprey]

if we're making suggestions , ill just throw mine in as well, dunn's curse made him a demon , so he straight up cant die in the material , he went into the abyss , if cannon can have him fight his way out or send a message he could also be a hook into a new lvl 5 party

[spice bobcat]

iirc they have to regain their forms after death which takes a variable amount of time. plausible tho i suppose.

[violet cave]

what if we had just pushed her off the cliff

[spice bobcat]

i voted new campaign at this point but i will say if a working solution like we postulated above to enable a new group to pick up our quest without breaking continuity then i'm down to reroll and do that

i assume she'd fly up and kill us all. at the very least she wouldn't have died imo.

[umbral osprey]

its a lvl 18 wizard , she most defo knows fly

[proud pebble]

If some people want a new campagin and some want to keep going with this one then I'd be happy to run 2 groups fyi

[proud pebble]

<@&1248006648744902809> could we have a short discussion on Friday about what we're going to do as Jeannie isn't streaming again?

[spice bobcat]

i'm on vacation this week. can be a long discussion if necessary.

[sudden frost]

As to pushing her off the cliff, that almost would have worked, expect one of the outside people died as soon as she came out, and then she cast a fear spell on the second guy so he couldn't approach her without wasting his action on a wisdom save he was unlikely to make.

[sudden frost]

I may not be around, but I'm happy to go with whatever.

[ancient sun]

Sooo what the fuck is going on?

Something important i should know of? All im getting so far is too many players for one group am i correct?

[spice bobcat]

no justin got us all killed so now we have to figure out what to do LUL

[proud pebble]

everyone died

it was also Grimm's fault

[ancient sun]

Ahh

Well shit

[proud pebble]

(#justiceforkevin)

[spice bobcat]

yeah kevin and grimm whom i knew would get us all killed one day tbh

[ancient sun]

What the fuck went down yesterday

[proud pebble]

basically they pissed off a lich

[spice bobcat]

lvl 21 lich

[proud pebble]

who then killed everyone

CR21

[ancient sun]

Ahaaa

Cool

[spice bobcat]

ah

session 14:

dain beer coma'd most of this session.
the group reaches the heart.
we can see a set of stairs and a cave.
dain tosses grimm his rope and he ties it off once reaching the top so we have an escape route.
dunn flies us all one by one up to the heart 200 feet up.
inside a cave we run into a elf lady.
grimm and kevin hide while the rest of the part led by dain walk up and speak to her asking if she's seen Gunter.
grimm and kevin immediately start snooping around.
Valindra says she's looking for the soul monger as well, and during the convo of it's location kevin dispels her teleportation spell triggering combat as she fires off a massive fireball into the room hitting kevin and grimm.
dunn goes unconscious.
grimm tries to flee and ends up going unconscious.
dain and morcar flee.
feldspar gives up and asks for a merciful death.
dunn dies.
valindra misty steps to fleeing dain and morcar and instantly kills dain.
valindra reveals herself to be a powerful lich.
morcar jumps off the heart in hopes of fleeing.
joff goes unconscious.
feldspar goes unconscious.
she casts dispel on morcar canceling his feather falling and he plumets 140 feet going unconscious.
joff gets eaten by the zombies and dies.
kevin speaks to valindra telepathically.
in an effort to save time we just end it with her wiping the group except for morcar who doesn't even know our quest.

the campaign effectively ends.

[proud pebble]

technically just 18th level spellcaster

[spice bobcat]

there you go

[ancient sun]

Dam

[proud pebble]

Please weigh in btw Zowo, you're still a player so the decision effects you

[ancient sun]

Yeah im racking my braincell

One Remains at this moment. Rest are asleep

[proud pebble]

you got time

[ancient sun]

I mean it seems my char is only one alive and i cant resurrect the others

Cant do a loophole that way

[spice bobcat]

poll up above to vote on what you think we should do with various options

i mean we could use you as a loophole actually

[proud pebble]

also resurecting is impossible in the setting regardless

[spice bobcat]

i hadn't considered that

[ancient sun]

Oh shit, right i forgot

I still wonder what we could do with my char in the astral plain if anything at all

[proud pebble]

we can do a lot tbh

[spice bobcat]

would have to play with what happens to the stone you are sealed in and you coming back where you'd be and then you could head back to the port and grab some ppl

[proud pebble]

if we decided to keep playing with new characters then Skarath would be the best link to the original goal

[ancient sun]

Thats true

[spice bobcat]

yeah i had forgotten he was sealed tbh

much better link that our guide idea i had

[ancient sun]

Especially if ive recieved info about how the quest was progressing from my patron

[proud pebble]

you'd know some but not everything

[spice bobcat]

it could be done. we'll still have to discuss it as a group.

[ancient sun]

Yeah, group discussion needed

[proud pebble]

yee, that's why I'm suggesting a chat on Friday

[ancient sun]

I'll vote for new campaign for now but this idea with skarath could go somewhere

[spice bobcat]

<@&1248006648744902809> please make sure to let us know if you can or can not make it this friday at normal stream time to discuss the future of our campaign. it is possible to continue it with zowo's character but we need to discuss that and decide together. if you can't make it react with a . obv if you will be able to join the convo react with a please.

[ancient sun]

I would suggest a bit earlier than normal stream time as it would fit better for my current sleep schedule but if normal stream time i have an hour to be a part of the discussion

But so far as long as its not 4hrs long i can make it for a bit

[proud pebble]

it wouldn't be 4 hours for sure

[spice bobcat]

likely an hour at most i would imagine unless ppl need help/advice on new characters which would be necessary regardless i imagine. also doing it earlier is fine. we'll see if everyone can make it first then worry about time after.

[ancient sun]

Bet

[ancient sun]

Who is kevin

[spice bobcat]

justin's character

[burnt sorrel]

that one also closed pretty quick

its fine we can discuss on friday and do a proper decision then

[umbral osprey]

you cant set polls for over 24 hours apparently

might be a setting in the server itself but only the mods would know that

[proud pebble]

that's the plan, mainly wanted to get an idea of what everyone wanted before we talked

[umbral osprey]

https://jamesturneronline.net/dnd5e-character-planner/

[sweet fjord]

homebrew i heard

oh before stream is fine

[spice bobcat]

cannon was saying how he doesn't like tasha spells and i was half-listening to him and mousey's stream and was thinking tasha vtuber so i was confused

[ancient sun]

ah

[sweet fjord]

tasha's spell are very ehh, i agree

i do have some old homebrew stuff you can peer over if you like cannon

[proud pebble]

go for it! I'm down

[sweet fjord]

i can dm it later

it's all in the graveyard of abandoned projects

[ancient sun]

what's all that homebrew stuff about

[sweet fjord]

custom stuff

[spice bobcat]

player created campaigns outside teh ones dnd make for ppl to play

[ancient sun]

I got that but why is cannon wanting to take a look at them now

and why more ppl spawning in xD

[sweet fjord]

we're raising an army, obviously

[spice bobcat]

justin's campaign is a homebrew zowo

[sweet fjord]

depends on the weapon

finesse adds dex to weapons

otherwise it's strength

but yes, monks generally have the dex

wait is he a dwarf?

Wow, did someone cut your lower legs off? that is tiny for an elf

anger issues?

i dunno

1d4?

oi, i used hands when i played paladin just to spite people

closest you're gonna get is a class feat that lets you crit at a roll of 19

fighters have that

paladins too

Fighters? they can be devastating if done right, i think people just see them as generic

gravity, our arch nemesis

i see

so this starts at a higher level?

ah gotcha

soul container

like an anchor sorta

In other words: horcrux

shoulda just slowly backed away, drake

"I don't want to kill the players, BUT"

it ain't indeed

ight, i'll probably talk to you later, cannon, so i can get a sense of the kinda world

ah ok

i'll give that a look, tho i'll send you the homebrew later for shits and giggles

[spice bobcat]

@pastel idol can we possibly get a D&D Group 1 and D&D Group 2 roles setup for pings instead of just D&D Group

[sweet fjord]

note that these spells are dumb as shit

cya around fellas

oh btw i'm fine with either case regarding campaigns

ight that's all

[proud pebble]

cool!

the original game is during jeannie's stream time on a monday

[sweet fjord]

so i'll have to talk to you about that during the weekend, right?

sorry my attention span is shit atm

[proud pebble]

It's more just saying that if rn is too late to be using your mic then our normal game time might also be too late

[sweet fjord]

well i can probably do it

if i don't talk too loudly

[burnt sorrel]

can always join the other campaign instead

thatll be earlier

[sweet fjord]

we'll see

i'll let you know

[spice bobcat]

you work fast

[proud pebble]

that's what she said

WAIT

NO

[umbral osprey]

too late

[sweet fjord]

congrats, you played yourself

[umbral osprey]

havent named him yet but here he is

[sweet fjord]

i'm also planning drow, going with an older character i never got to use

[light marsh]

hero forge?

[spice bobcat]

you can design your character's figure there and have them make it if you wanna pay the cash but we use it to visualize our characters

[light marsh]

cool!

that looks real nice is it a website?

[umbral osprey]

yes

[light marsh]

oh cool i'll check it out thanks ^^

[spice bobcat]

@umbral osprey @proud pebble @burnt sail @ancient sun @violet cave @burnt sorrel @scarlet crescent @sudden frost and anyone else interested in the dnd campaigns go here and react 1 or 2. cannon's campain is 1, justin's is 2. this will add you to the roll for pings related to our campaigns.

#tabletop message

[umbral osprey]

a thanks to the mods

[spice bobcat]

you can pick both if you want to as well

[umbral osprey]

already did

[spice bobcat]

btw if i missed anyone please ping them as well

[spice bobcat]

<@&1248006648744902809> just a reminder we are skippin the upcoming session to grant cannon extra time to work the story and the rest of us to work on our new characters that chose to do so. normal game session will return Sept 23.

[violet cave]

<@&1284336728831950879> the sessions will start in October, but next week there will be a session 0 where we can go over the setting in depth, set as Sept 22nd at 9pm GMT

[burnt sorrel]

@violet cave Did you say you were planning a session 0 to setup characters, the world etc at some point? when would that be?

[violet cave]

22nd, 9pm GMT

[burnt sorrel]

ah okay so next sunday cool

did we confirm a usual time we plan to do our sessions, would it be the same time each sunday?

[proud pebble]

ooh, 22nd might not be great for me, I'll try to make it tho
I'm out gaming all day and I'm not sure when I'll be back

[burnt sorrel]

just that sunday or every sunday? cos we can always do our session 0 when everyone is free

[proud pebble]

just that Sunday

I should be able to make it, I just might be a little late/out of it

[burnt sorrel]

oh and justin in your doc it says we can take stuff from all the Dnd 5e stuff, so if i wanted i could pick spells/races from those other books? if so where can i find those books? (i know i can search the wiki too, just wondering if the books are available online)

[proud pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-elmo-fire-fire-elmo-elmo-fire-pirate-elmo-pirate-gif-7591584827691600121

[burnt sorrel]

well, yeah

[proud pebble]

honestly wiki would be quicker

all the books are out there but reading through all the books to find what you want would take ages

[burnt sorrel]

hopefully the wiki has the same descriptions as the books, thats the only thing i was worried about

and yeah the books giev you lore too

[proud pebble]

there should be a list on D&D beyond which won't give you the stats but will give you which book it's from so you could use that to find what you're looking for

[burnt sorrel]

nice

i heard there was some flying races, wanted to see what they've got

[proud pebble]

aarakocras, variant tieflings

maybe more but those 2 off the top of my head

[violet cave]

ur happy to use em btw

[burnt sorrel]

reading this, does this mean that i'd add my wisdom to the damage numbers too? so if i rolled 4 damage, i'd add another say +3 from the wisdom, making 7 damage total?

because it says attack AND damage rolls

[proud pebble]

yes, that is accurate

[burnt sorrel]

holy shiettt

this character is gonna be nuts

i've found a way to obscure an area, while me being able to see fine, giving me adv on attack rolls, then with this weapon and multi hits its gonna be nuts

and this is at first level btw xD

[proud pebble]

and meanwhile I'm here, just a sneaky boi

I can shoot someone with my bow

or stab someone with a dagger

[burnt sorrel]

ooh my thingy might help you if yuo get some darkvision

[proud pebble]

wait

I'm not the one that has to deal with the character for once

https://tenor.com/view/hammaya-relaxed-relax-mr-bean-gif-gif-604132771586296524

[ancient sun]

I have an idea for a necromancer wizard that can make and undead army with infinite armour by 5th lvl i think

or a rougue that has a mount he can use to brok sneak attack on every turn of comabt

not sure which i'll make

[burnt sorrel]

whatever yall do darkvision is very useful xD

and yes pls be a necromancer that would be awesome

[proud pebble]

be a necromancer/bard and become a NECRODANCER

I am very sleep deprived

[burnt sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/skwatober-dance-gif-15144975

[ancient sun]

Fuckin hell i forgot to mark down the pages and shit i need for that build as i was looking through

cant find the skill i need for it anywehre

[burnt sorrel]

just look at the wiki, probably easier to find stuff there

i been using this one

https://dnd5e.wikidot.com/armor

[proud pebble]

wiki dot is a good one

DM approved

[ancient sun]

fuck me i cant find the skill for crafting armour and waepons from spare materials

Not gonna do it today

[burnt sorrel]

do we know if justin is doing material costs for stuff?

or is it same as cannon were basic stuff is free

[proud pebble]

he's not said yet

[ancient sun]

But the idea was like i take a bag that can be filled with a certain amount of metals and then i take a skill that i can use to craft those spare metals into armour, tools and weapons after i get myself proficiency in smithing or something. Then i take a skill that will allow me to collect that said armour from my undead after their armour has taken dmg and ill just recycle that metal indefinitely for armour for the undead i command

but i have no fucking clue anymore what skills they were i needed

[burnt sorrel]

lol dw

we got plenty of time to work this out

[proud pebble]

OH

btw

If anyone has suggestions for buildings I could add to my terrain board then I'm open to it

Reasonably small buildings tho

[fickle barn]

Hey anyone good at writing here I need help I’m really bad at writing and have had chat GPT to write me a campaign synopsis for my campaign but it sounds too AI is anyone able to help? (Please ping me if so)

[sudden frost]

Ya - she lay lee is OP until people start getting late game weapons. For people chasing AC it's similarly fun to give them a defender. Then throw spellcasters who require saves from them instead.

[sudden frost]

There is a peculiar lack of outhouses tanning racks from the back yards of ancient buildings. Tanning could likely be accelerated magically, but tanning racks would still be required to hold the hides in place. Also, though there wouldn't be silos, there would be many small and medium barns. People don't think about the barns just like they don't think about the wooden castles: Most castles were made of wood. They decayed. Now there is a tendency to think of castles as being A. more rare than they were and B. all made of stone. Same with barns. The ratio of barns and pens to houses was fairly high, but they were made of wood so if we don't see them now we don't remember them as much.

The one other thing I like to point out for free / divided towns, where there is no single powerful baron, is the competition. Everyone thinks about Romeo and Juliet when you bring up noble houses vying over a city, but the actual competition can be way more cool:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towers_of_Bologna
Sadly, Bologna's towers were made of wood, so like the Venetian clocktower their lower levels eventually gave way.
For a society that might grow buildings out of trees though....

[violet cave]

don't worry about making overpowered characters. You CAN, but my DM approach is always been "let the players run wild and i'll just buff the enemies"

[burnt sorrel]

yeah i just found a cool combo that might fall apart late game but seems good early at least

[burnt sorrel]

look up a thing found commonly in the UK as a Folly. basically a fake building created purposly to just look cool, they are often tower with like no stairs up etc or only the front is fulyl decorated

[umbral osprey]

@violet cave how do you feel about me playing a kobold?

[violet cave]

Do it

[proud pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-get-to-work-gif-21630516

[proud pebble]

hmmm, that could be cool

[pastel idol]

https://www.daggerheart.com/

[burnt sorrel]

ooh wat is this a new ttrpg?

[pastel idol]

not sure, saw it recommended by critical role youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGKZCQRC6vI

[umbral osprey]

yeah its a new TTRPG system

[proud pebble]

yeah, new system made by the crit roll guys

[umbral osprey]

i wonder how it compares

i've only played for 15 sessions but i am already seeing holes in D&D ngl

[proud pebble]

unless the playtesting mats have significantly changed then it's not very good

[umbral osprey]

rip

[proud pebble]

That might have changed significantly since the playtest tho

[umbral osprey]

which was when?

[proud pebble]

I'm more excited by the wild imaginary west ttrpg

[proud pebble]

maybe 4 - 5 months ago

can't really remember tbh

[umbral osprey]

then probably nothing much have changed , that aint enough time to do anything radical

[proud pebble]

Trying to figure out how to say what the issue was

So the way I understand the issues is that the game was built too much around narrative gaming, there weren't enough rules particularly in combat to make it work properly

[umbral osprey]

too nebulous , understandable when you have a god tier DM like matt on the helm , he wants flexibility but thats not how you design a game for everyone i see

[proud pebble]

Yeah basically

[umbral osprey]

if the basis is good , the community can write additional rules to fix it , but at that point just run homebrew D&D

[proud pebble]

For me, it doesn't solve any of the issues D&D has because it's too different

the holes that D&D has are patched by the DM during the game

[umbral osprey]

honestly that might not be strictly bad , D&D's roots arent exactly great tbh

from a game design standpoint

[proud pebble]

For me, Pathfinder 2e has already fixed the issues so if you want another High Fantasy RPG then you should just play that instead of Daggerheart

[umbral osprey]

havent looked at pathfinder but i heared that its too much on the other end , too strict and number heavy

[proud pebble]

That was 1st ed

but 2nd ed is much better

[umbral osprey]

[proud pebble]

it's still a little more rules heavy and number crunchie then D&D but it's a huge improvement to both

it's very fun tho, although I've only played a little

[umbral osprey]

i dont think more numbers is how you fix D&D's issues but ill have to try it to really make a call

[proud pebble]

and Paizo is a much better company then WOTC

[umbral osprey]

ngl i want to try to run a couple games with a heavy modified rule set just to test out some game design ideas

[umbral osprey]

there is no such thing as a good company they're only "good" until they become the biggest then they'll do the same shit wizards does

[proud pebble]

Paizo is run by the fans that made pathfinder in the first place

and I didn't say good

I said better

[umbral osprey]

is it public?

[umbral osprey]

fair

[proud pebble]

no idea if it's public but it's the first ttrpg company to have a workers union

it's privately held according to the internet

[umbral osprey]

ok good

the grubby bastards wont get thier hands on it for now

[proud pebble]

worth 9.1 Billion dollary doos
