[OOC] D&D: An Adventure in the Making

[Infamous Empath]

@Warborn123 quantity isnt always quality. besides, i think as long as people put effort in, its not too big of a deal :)

[Warborn123]

@Infamous Empath oh thats good to hear, it'd suck if I had to leave because of small posts

[TheUnknowable]

@Game MakerHave you looked my CS over yet?

[Infamous Empath]

my posts are generally to the point and medium sized. and considering this is a d20 game and not just text-based, i think some of its going to be up to dice rolls anyway so writing it out would be redundant.

"scores a 16 perception"

"you notice the man has a scar on his face"

"notices a man with a scar on his face, how peculiar."

instead i would just write a reaction to the scar.

-----

"scores a 16 perception"

"notices a man with a scar on his face"

"is appalled by the ghastly scar on his face, as it is appalling."

lol

[Infamous Empath]

also im gonna go ahead and say this because it always becomes an issue even when people think its not:

please be conscientious about posting frequency, if not posting length. most GMs I've dealt with on this site dont do posting orders but im a huge fan of them because it gives people not present a chance to react to something more realistically instead of rushing through it and having to deal with the fact that their reaction is meaningless.

im not stating a posting order, thats for GM to decide. Just please keep others in mind when posting, ESPECIALLY when their characters are in the relative vicinity of your own. its not too big of a deal if theyre far away.

and in case anyone is wondering, my character(s) wont show up till later...

Character Backstory: His first memory, probably the happiest(in the start anyway), was when he got his first stuffed toy, a Plushie... It became his best friend, they talked about everything, well Xavio talked the most while the Plushie only responded with phrases like :"Knife is dull", "what do you taste like" or, "give me the black unibow cornrain"!". Having someone to talk to was always a good thing although as soon as the parents came to check on him the "toy" just seemed to stop in its tracks and become lifeless always with that creepy smile in its face.

The more Xavio grew up the more he found the fact that the thing was alive and conversing with him, saying many random stuff while making creepy gestures accompanying what it was saying, creepy. At one point he tried to tell his parents what was happening but they just dissed it as a child's fantasy until the fated day when his mother just vanished and his father would always avoid talking about her, getting sad every time he heard her name being mentioned...

---

...after this traumatic experience Xavio learned that his father was a sorcerer and his mother a wizard, and like them, Xavio also showed potential in the field. Many years went by as Xavio was tutored by his father in the ways of magic, more specifically lightning. Now, after learning his fathers most adept spells, he was ready to create his own path in life and the first thing he intended to do was search for the whereabouts of his mother.

Off to a new beginning...

Treasure:

All the empty fields...I'm lost there. I know that for sorcerers you have char>con>dex>wis=int>str dandwiki.com/wiki/Shadow_Adept_(5e_Ar… Maybe along this line? Idk if you accept home-brew archetypes. Does this work with sorcerer warlock?

[Game Maker]

@TheUnknowable I'm sorry, I thought I had told you already to move your character over. One moment and I'll roll for your "treasure"

[Game Maker]

@Bishop Flaws: Psychopath....sounds like my ex.

[Joshua Tamashii]

@Bishop Thalmor... KILL IT WITH FIRE! GET THE DOVAKIN! KILL IT!

[Game Maker]

@TheUnknowable Your treasure is a diary with 7 missing pages.

[Rockin Strings]

I'm gonna apologize in the meantime, I didn't expect people to have such a high level of writing as I find it's hard to write more than three paragraphs at once, my writing might be a little bit bad compared to everyone but nevertheless I'll still try my hardest but I might not be as good as everyone else.

@Warborn123

You're gonna be better than me. The only way I'll be able to keep more than a single paragraph is 'cause I'm playing 2 characters.

[Rockin Strings]

@Game Maker My treasures too? I just recently finished mine. Put a link on the last page.

[Game Maker]

@Warborn123@Rockin Strings As long as players can respond to you or it moves the story along in some way (even if it just tells us a little more about your characters) I have no post length requirement, which is why this was posted in the casual section of RPG.

@Rockin Strings Your treasures, you can assign to whichever character you like are 1) a receipt of deposit of a large sum of money in the far away city of Edlebastion and 2) 2 toy soldiers, one with a missing head.

[Bishop]

@Joshua Tamashii XD My first character was a Dunmer. I eat fire like I was Natsu!

[Rockin Strings]

@Game Maker So, they're good to move over, then?

[Infamous Empath]

is it me or are there more evil and neutral characters than good ones? i feel like this might be a game less about heroes going on adventures and more about scoundrels backstabbing each other and joining the dark side...

[TheUnknowable]

@Infamous EmpathDon't worry, I would never backstab you (unless you get in the way of me converting folks).

[Infamous Empath]

haha, you wont have to worry about backstabbing my character.

[Warborn123]

is it me or are there more evil and neutral characters than good ones? i feel like this might be a game less about heroes going on adventures and more about scoundrels backstabbing each other and joining the dark side...

@Infamous Empath

Actually we're more neutral than evil, considering there's not a single evil character here and neutral characters usually end up being good guys anyways

[Infamous Empath]

there isnt really such a thing as neutral.
