Scummer D&D for newbies!

[Ether]

In general, I would support a regular RP session! Right now our party is really split up (it looks like Rose, Hellion and Sigma's unconscious body are at the Blue Canary and Raia has tastefully stepped outside, while Fiona/Achan/Sedgar are at Willow's), which makes things awkward. Especially since even though Rose let the Artkey/Sigma fight play out, she isn't just going to abandon her body, and she can't move it, so she's kind of stuck at the bar for the night. (I would like to roleplay with Artkey between sessions, though, if FakeGod's up for that, and if anyone comes to check on us then I'll roleplay with them too.)

[FakeGod]

sure I think I can show up

Do you feel like you're not invested in your character because you haven't rp'd with him like you did earlier? It looks like you fleshed out your backstory etc

Yes to the first half. We had a ton of time to flesh out relationships with other party members when we did RP stuff before.

Having a backstory only sets the stage for the actual character development/etc during the game. I have a backstory sure but that's not the only thing here.

I'm guessing that most or all of us will say we're up for roleplaying, and the real issue is setting down a time to actually do it. Presumably this is gonna be something mid-week, so...does Wednesdays at 9pm EDT (6pm for the west-coasters) work for everyone?

[gigabyteTroubadour]

no, wednesday/thursday/friday are really hard times for me to schedule because thats when i work and now that it's summer the commute is really awkwardly timed so now i dont think i'll get home by 7 (pm obv)

if we want midweek how's tuesday?

((actually i just checked, on fridays if i run really fast to the train station i can get home by 6 lmao so maybe it's doable))

[gigabyteTroubadour]

oh i mixed up east coast and west coast

hold on

edit: yeah i'm good with that but i might be pooped

[Andrius]

I mean, we don't need EVERYONE online at once.
We had that one week where I had separate sessions with FB and giggles since we couldn't organize a time for everyone.

[Firebringer]

i think rp sessions for smaller amounts of the group is actually better.
The more people you have the harder it is to have an edge-wise talking and getting characters to know each other.

[Andrius]

so...does Wednesdays at 9pm EDT (6pm for the west-coasters) work for everyone?

No.

But I'm back in the Skype Chat if people want to coordinate something with me sometime other than your group session that should still happen.

[FakeGod]

Players, can you tell me whether you are available for the Saturday evening time slot? (same time as last week's)

[Postie]

Works for me!

[Dunnstral]

Works for me

[MariaR]

All good here

[Andrius]

If we do Saturday I will be late to the session. Maybe ~30m.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

should be fine but let me confirm i have a clear schedule

[FakeGod]

Okay, let's do Saturday night for this week's session.

Also, just a heads up, no session next weekend. (I'll be traveling for July 4th things)

[Firebringer]

I won't be able to make this session.

[FakeGod]

guys, please have your macros updated before the session

thanks

[gigabyteTroubadour]

pfffft

macros

tho i should be more transparent with my bonuses i sometimes feel like it's not instantly clear that +12s are coming from my destruction domain for example............

[Andrius]

I won't be able to make this session.

I'll miss you.

[MariaR]

I have never made a macro in my life.... sigh

We split up the 5800 gp so everyone gets 825, except Achan, who gets 850. At this point, I have seized Raia's and Hellion's means of production and am taking responsibility for buying them shit.

Having seized the means of production, I have 4076gp.

I'm spending 1000 to upgrade Raia's armor to magic. (+1 AC.) Then I'll spend 100gp to have retroactively ordered four divine scrolls of Enlarge Person.

100gp is one thing. I'd...like to order a vest of resistance, but ugh, I don't know what the situation with Ordboard will be tomorrow, and I don't want to lose 1000gp if Achan goes to his thing and we have to rescue him and Ordboard gets pissed. Oh well. Hellion can craft them now, if we have the downtime.

So that leaves me with 2976. I'll spend 150 to buy Raia +2 masterwork items of Concentration, Knowledge Religion and The Planes. And another 100 to buy myself +2 to Diplomacy and Sense Motive. And another 100 to buy Hellion +2 to Nature and Concentration. (Since most of Hellion's items merge with him in wildshape...the end result is that Raia kind of needs items more than him or me.)

Down to 2626.

...Meh, I'll shell out 610 for a cold iron masterwork longspear for Raia. We'll probably fight demons later, it can't hurt.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

^ can we also get knowledge history and concentration items for raia

[Dunnstral]

Then I'll spend 100gp to have retroactively ordered four divine scrolls of Enlarge Person.

Fire you get 200 story exp
