400th!

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Ok, I going to assume that we will not be gaming tonight, so will not be setting up the server today...

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Ok, so we go tonight. I'll assume the same time as usual though (9-12)

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

It's on.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Where is everybody? This is a disturbing trend... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I will need updated info for the web site on your new character levels and all that fun stuff.

http://www.spaceempires.net/dnd/party.php

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Yes, I agree with Fyron. We all have a life outside the game, and can have other things to do, its no ones fault. We may need to consider if it is viable though to have more than 3 people at any session.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Right. But it only takes a minute or two to log on and say, "I won't be able to make it today guys."

Log posted on the site.

http://www.spaceempires.net/dnd/adventures.php

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Sorry guys. Fyron is right about the advance notice. My life has been hectic and I have left about 20 mental notes on the forum but not one of them made it from my mind to the keyboard as something always came up at work or home and detoured me for a few minutes.
I have a lot less time now as my current job is more demanding (actually have to work 10 hours a day) and my home life is more demanding (wife leaving on business). I can easily say that the past two weeks and next two weeks are impossible for me to be available.
I'd hate for Grull not to be in the party so if Randall or anyone else wants to use him please do. Sorry for the lack of response, no excuses are good enough there. I am depressed that I can't commit to playing since I love D&D and looked forward to Randall's world. I will try and keep in touch.
Happy adventures,
Cyclop

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

In particular I want to point out to Rasorow that i'd like to know what will happen to his character. I have come up with a background story to facilitate his being a cleric in a new world, and I don't wish to take away control of his character by saying "Well in the first session Rasorow did this, then he did this the second session and during the third session he did this"

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Right now Rasorow does not have an internet connection at home which is why I was not on Last night. Sorry about that. At work now but can only steal a couple of minutes while eating.

Basic background is

orphan - no parents
Raised in monestary
befriended by old ranger and worshiper of forest god(dess)
learned undead killed his home village but parents unknown
Hate undead with passion (likely to mix it up as much as turn them)

sorry never got around to writing that...

Gotta go - meeting time. will post when connection working likely sometime this weekend though

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

bump

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Sorry, there is some confusion about the term "Background". What I meant is that alongside the actual campaign I have come up with a sequence of events that coincide where Rasorow comes to terms with being a cleric in a new land.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

ok sorry, Cool. I hope to have functioning Internet sometime tomorrow. Currently at work again.

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

It works... I have connectivity again from home so I will be there....

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

I am assuming that we are playing tomorrow but will check tonight to make sure about 8pm. Hopefully someone other then me will post.....

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

*Post* http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I see no reason why I couldn't make it tommorrow.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

ok, this is.... wierd.
To sum up my absence, upgrading OpenOffice killed the laptop. I had been assuming (apparently incorrectly) that it was the only functional computer in the house. (As some of you may recall, I was having lots of problems with the desktop). So that's why I've been gone.

However, I tried one Last time to turn on the desktop before I called the computer doctors back, and it started right up!!!! So, uh, I guess it's fixed....... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Anyway, Wednesdays are fine with me. Is the starting time 5 PST, or 5:30 PST (7 or 7:30 my time)

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

5 I believe then. However we don't usually start for half an hour while we wait for everyone to arrive.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

See everyone in three hours. 8pm EST/5PST

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

well, the computer apparently remembered that it was supposed to be broken, because it's back to it's same old trick of freezing mid-boot. On this plus side, it will at least boot up completely in safe mode (which it wasn't doing before it went to the computer doctor.)

Needless to say, assume I won't be around until you hear from me again. (now if I can just get the computer doctor to answer the phone....)

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

See everyone tonight 8EST, 5PST

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

I have corresponded with Cyclops and he is too busy these days to participate, so Grull won't be taking much part for awhile. I am wondering, do we want to bring in anyone new if they are interested?.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Havn't heard from Cyclops or seen any Posts so I dont know about that.

We need more then Draknor as a Tank. Especially since we dont have Wulf's archery any more. We have lost three effective fighters. Grull, Wulf (archer and back-up Melee if absolutely needed but he could protect the mage and rear), and Rasorow (Combat spell caster/healer mainly now. Cannot/should not take to many risks in battle (but he will...) as need to be able to heal others not self afterwards). Thats 75% of our primary fighters.

Sulimo has been great about stepping up but we need another tank. At least that is my view.

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

As the mage, I really must second the notion of another character between me, my tender skin and sharp, pointy things.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Lae'nial (Narf) what are you worried about? You haven't even had to look in your spellbook - you're to deadly with that bow.

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

First level wizards are dismal spellcasters, and we have only had 1 real battle since 5th level... Not to mention that Narf opted for enhancing spells rather than brute force damaging ones...

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

ummmm, was actually trying to tease Narf about being such a good archer.... He has made shots that both rangers missed.

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

I have just realised that I have an appointment tomorrow. I just recieved a form from the government and wondered if it was the same as the one telling me to come to an appointment this week.

"I wonder if its like that appointment noitice I got Last week" I thought "Oh no, the appointment!"

Its right in the middle of our session and I don't think they would accept the "I have to play D&D" excuse to reschedule. I should have made the connection when I got the letter, sorry. It will perhaps give us the opportunity for another player to turn up.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Should we make a post somewhere or change the thread name (dont even know if that is possible) to alert people we are looking for another player? Are we actually looking for another player? Narf weighed in but Fyron, Dumbluck, and Douglas have yet to express an opinion.

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Ok, I've tried to prepare some material for tonight. If there are any problems please post a reply. I have just finished my government scheme so I am now available any day.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

So game on tonight 8pm EST 5pm PST? Cool, will be there.

Rasorow

(wonders if stupid pally will need an education when the arch-bishop isnt looking)

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

I will be there (if only to keep the yahoo's in check).

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Well its been 30 minutes and no server. I hope Fyron is ok. I am hesitant to call off the session but theres nothing I can do. I shall investigate how I can make my own server in the future. I discussed it with Fyron but it will involve me working out how to open a hole in my firewall. Anyhow, I'll check back in 10-15 minutes but if nothing develops, sorry. We can wait till next week or reschedule.

Edit:I'm thinking there has been a time change I am unaware of.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Erm... It is still 15 minutes until the starting time...

Daylight savings time did occur a week and a half ago... It is presently 4:48 PM PST...

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Damnit!

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

So are you coming or what? [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon46.gif[/img]

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

yes, I've set up the room. I was just annoyed at having rushed to finish some stuff when I still had an hour left.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

BTW... Should we purchase some basic supplies that Draknor might need? I havnt seen Dumbluck for awhile now. I know he's got computer issues and I would hate to have us buy equipment for Draknor instead of Dumbluck but was thinking that maybe we should pick up a couple of items (ale flasks, ale, ale flasks, more ale, some rations, more ale, I think would be among his choices, maybe a healing potion or two as well - Ale flavored of course) if Dumbluck wont be on before we headout again which it seems we will do next session.

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Ras - While your character is out, could you get mine a wand of magic missiles(1st) and a wand of enlarge? Thanks.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Will see what I can do Narf.

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Wands!. What do you think I am, Magic items R us?. Why don't you try to buy a vorpal sword while you're at it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Make that a +5 keen, vorpal, dancing, undead bane, holy, flaming burst, shocking burst, icy burst, thundering, wounding, ghost touch, and speed greatsword please http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

And while I'm here, might I point out that as a 5th level character I should have 5,332gp - After shopping for each level? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

I'm afraid I don't understand the reference http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif. However I did discuss things with Rasorow and have come to the conclusion that I shall have to fit in a haul session or mission. ALthough I have been planning a story driven plot, I can see the need for the party to gain extra funds & items.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Level/Treasure table in the DMG, page 54 in v3.5. Breifly:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
Level | Expected Wealth Gain | Treasure From Encounters | Treasure Per Character
1st | 900 | 3,999 | 1,000
2nd | 1,800 | 7,998 | 2,000
3rd | 2,700 | 11,997 | 2,999
4th | 3,600 | 15,996 | 3,999
5th | 4,000 | 21,328 | 5,332
</pre><hr />

Expected Wealth Gain: What the character should gain while reaching his next level
Treasure from encounters: This is the average treasure value from table 3-3: Treasure Values per Encounter multiplied by 13.33 encounters.
Treasure per Character: This is Treasure from Encounters divided by 4, the expected party size. The amounts are rounded to the nearest gold piece.

This goes all the way to 0.8 million for 19th level characters. Obviously, D&amp;D is not an exercise in applied economics. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Wether you want to follow this table or not and how closely is up to you.

Additional note:
'Given the hoardes of monsters and heroes running around, any rationally constructed D&amp;D world would be de-populated within approximatly one month for the general population. Survival of higher-level beings is indeterminate. Given that the D&amp;D power level continues to infinity, reality would probably be destroyed at an indefinite point after it's creation, unless beings of all power levels were also created, the result of which cannot be determined.' - Narf.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

hmmm, While I think we are a little under equiped - especially since we are without a tank. I dont think we are that badly off. Remember we also went to 5th level in 1 adventure and if I remember correctly level jumps like that are not allowed.

Also recently purchased party affecting items....

4 healing potions
2(or 3? have to check logs) flasks of Holy Water.
Healer's bag
2 flasks of Oil

some other items were purchased on my side trip but these were the main ones.

Rasorow

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Actually narf, I think the table you're looking for is the starting gold for higher-level characters on page 34 or 35. A 5th level character should have about 9000 gp worth of cash and equipment.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

I must warn you that tomorrow may be delayed or postponed. I hate having to do this since we had no session a mere 2 weeks ago, however it is vital I see my doctor tomorrow. I will try to make an appointment 5 seconds after he opens but can never be sure of the time.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

Doctors appointments are more important than games.

Re: Online D&D Gaming
 

If you are there, you are there, if not we can always reschedule.

Rasorow
