The Foam: Just a place for Idle chatter...

BTW, everyone great job on the first 3 rounds like that, it would have taken up most of 1 day to get through the ogre slamming into the gate, lol, I liked what everyone did. To me it worked out nicely. I waited as long as I could for everone to post (till 1:30 am) and things are now underway! Good luck!

Revooth, I know we discussed the 'spell share' ability, but I hadn't noticed it doesn't come until 3rd level, sorrry!!! Hawkeye is still next to you, and covered by your Shield spell.... He can attack, using your dex or str mod (which ever is higher) for d4 damage, on your turn of course and you still take your normal actions. He also flies, so enimies would be hardpressed to hit him with anything other than a bow, or a spell.

Quick question, how do you guys want to handle mapping? Of course I won't provide maps to all the areas you go to, some just arn't known to anyone in the party. sooo... any suggestions? personally I won't want NPC's mapping for you guys, that takse all the fun out of it lol... Well, suggest away, I was just thinking about this while writing up some parts later on in the story.

I looked around for some mapping stuff, and I found this:

http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=maptool

I downloaded and played with it a little bit, I think once you get used to it it'll be awesome. It seems to be completely free, I was able to use it extensively without any problems.

That map tool looks pretty good… I think the mapping has been pretty smooth so far. At least as smooth as it can be for pbp.

Im talking about mapping for you guys when you guys are in a place thats not none, or I don't provide a map for, I think its a good idea for the players to map it as they go. It was always fun to do in tabletop, and I think it will work on pbp. Of course I'll have a master copy of what it is suppose to look like, but things you guys may miss, or overlook, shouldn't be known. What do you all think?

So my latest IC post is kinda weird but I don't want to edit it since it includes die rolls. Basically I experimented with spoiler tags and got nested tags to work in preview mode but when I submitted it looks like the ending of the first nested spoiler tag ended the parent scope instead of the child. All the info is there correctly, I just meant it all to be encased in one giant spoiler tag. It's weird that it worked in preview but not when submitted, I guess the parsing code is slightly different. Anyway, short story is don't try to do spoilers within spoilers.

Spoiler:

wow, that is odd! It works in the preview but not when posted.... weird...

Is the menu at the top of the page taking up two lines for you guys, Damien says it is for him... Just wondering...

Just one line for me. It might be his browser settings or computer display settings. Have him try changing his resolution to be higher and see if it fixes itself.

It’s 2 lines on my lousy work laptop, but 1 at home. It’s probably his resolution.

Hey everyone, Im going to visit my wife again, sounds odd right?, for a few days. This time though I'll be posting at the library down the street. It will be mid-day time (betweent 12-4 EST) so it won't really mean much to you guys as far as posting is concerned.

2 things I won't be able to do though
1) Make maps. So I'll be describing positions of every one as detailed as I can. If some one is able to make the maps for me during these few days, it would be much appriciated. Email me and I will give you the link for the site...

2) Access any files I have on the game. I'll be putting a few of the text based ones in my 'notes' of my email, but as far as PDF's and things like that, I won't be able to use them. As of right now it doesn't mean much, execpt: Refrain from rules discussion, in depth anyway, for a couple days lol. Although I don't think that will be a problem ethier, I just had to throw it out there.

Anyways, just letting you guys know.

Unard,

I hope everything went well with your surgery,
and I wish you well in the coming time, that you may recover soon and wholly.
I have missed you and I hope we can do some back-up in roleplaying with your character.

Marty,

sorry, I had not read your post, so I put my question about the spiritual weapon up in spite of it.
The answer can wait, till you're back to full access!

Good luck

Im going to change the color of the OverCast on the next map, its to hard to tell which is which...

Now onto my experiment. Im going to try and upload the actual program. Which will then redirect you guys to another 'site' where you will be able to interact with the map. I can block things from your view, you can move your own tokens, place your own spell areas, etc etc... I'll be messing with it tmw, so check back when your able...


Also, Unard and Damien are being dropped soon. I haven't heard from Unard, but the last I did hear was that he was back and wanting to play. Thimble should be out until monday (or sooner) Rodale is back (I had a busy, and fun weekend as well) Fin is back!!! Damien had to drop out due to RL stuff.

SO, a poll is due... Do I replace these people? Its now down to, Revooth, Yorin, Aubrey, Rodale, Thimble and Fin. Then of course the NPCs, which are currently Ginoma and Eruden.

Replace or not to Replace, that is my question!

OK, when they redid the site, they ADDED A DICE BUTTON!!!!!!!!!! YAYA! or at least this is the first time i've noticed it!

Its not on quick reply. But in a normal post its on the right hand side of your code options (bold, italics etc...) It doesn't double post, and its alot easier than typing out the [rand] code. Use it up guys, Revooth, now you gotta roll your own rolls

I think we’re pretty good with the group that we have, we’ve still got our two clerics which was a concern early on.

I’m going to do my best to keep up. We’re heading into the 4th quarter at work which is the worst time of the year for me and I’ve got a 4 month old teething baby at home. Shouldn’t be any long absences, but just an FYI in case I get a day behind or so.

Rodale: Ok, If its a super important time here, in game, I'll npc for you. I won't make any major decisions or anything of course, just keeping Rodale part of the main story is all. If its in a battle (and since you've let me know) I'll have you take a defensive stance the first round you don't post, and then NPC something else the second round. Does that work for you?

Everyone else: I can't seem to figure out how to upload the actual program, so maps stay the way they are. Which I don't see as a bad thing, I like the maps so far...

I've thought about it alittle more. No newer members, unless one of you drop. Rodale, Revooth, Yorin, Thimble (if he's coming back), Finbert and Aubrey. Six players, I'll keep that number from here on out, along with at least 1 npc.. Expect Unard and Damien to be gone soon enough, although I don't think simply having them 'vanish' is a good idea,

Also, some feedback on what has happend so far, any thoughts you have on the story or suggestions or ideas you may have for the future. Feel free to PM me about them, or discuss them freely here. I like player input!

Hey guys! This is marty, the player version. lol! Im playing Seveliss in Spiders Web, hoping to get this up and going soon, Wybren, where you at?
