OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?

Well, if everyone who has expressed interest plays that's five people - me, Randallw, Nocturnal, you, and JFries. That's already a full size party.

Astorax said:
Nocturnal, I've sent you a private message. I'm not exactly sure where it will show up as I don't see a "message box" or whatever like other forums. Maybe its sent to your email? Not sure.

A flashing letter icon shows up next to the "Welcome <user_name>. [Logout]" line on the top left, IIRC. Clicking on it takes you to your message box where you can view the new message. You can also access your message box through the My Home link on the top right. It's the leftmost link on the second row in that big set of links.

New question then: how's this going to work logistically? I'm downloading (or the OpenRPG setup is downloading) wxPython2.8 which is a pretty big file for my pretty slow connection. Please don't make me install IRC again too.

Since it is in real-time, when are we going to meet? I work Sunday to Thursday inclusive from about 0600-1800 GMT so I won't be available at those times, and I use much of the remainder of the weekdays for eating and sleeping. On weekends (Friday and Saturday) I am pretty much free at any time. I like to get sleep in blocks of 10-14 hours during the weekend to restore HP and spells, but I don't need to take them at particular hours.

So ideally I would like to play on Friday or Saturday, during the afternoon or evenings as compared to GMT.

We should sort this out to see who among us can actually play, and then submit the characters.

I've gotten another person interested in that IRC channel, Narf. sacarasc is his nick. People are starting to take interest, heck they even put me and 4e game in the topic.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Douglas, Randallw, Nocturnal, Astorax, JFries and now Sacarasc...Six players. Yeah, I'm going to have to close new player acceptance.

No, only one character - Keeping track of six PCs is about the limit of how many I want to keep track of.

I'm available most times, although I may have to juggle my sleep schedule for some of them. My new pills are making it wacky.

I'm going on #D&D to answer any questions.

Astorax has noted that a party without a fighter will probably get squashed.

/me would like to note that fighters are fun in 4e.

[Astorax]

I have decided on playing a Halfling Rogue. He is the bomb. That is all.

2 Halfling Rogues/Thieves ?

Well I suppose if you really do, I can go back to my fighter, or maybe a star pact warlock.

Littering the job board:

The first and last ones are open to newbie parties; the second would require a patent of nobility of some kind; the third requires that you be able to at least fake providing information.

This is in addition to Fallcrest plotlines.

Positions still open for:

Caravan guards.
Spell-slingers.
Healers.
Eight water-carriers.
Five teamsters.
Two cooks assistants.
One huntsman.
Three animal handlers.

Leaving in two weeks.

Squire Mainus Irving, assistant to a noble lady, is enquiring after noble and willing fellows concerned with clearing out the trash that stands in the way of a united and strong Nenter Vale. Riff-raff need not enquire.

Vorcsh Torven, Paladin of Pelor

If any law-abiding citizen should happen to know of information as to the whereabouts of followers of bane,

5 gp per likely rumor.
10 gp per substantiated rumor.
25 gp for evidence,
25 gp if the evidence bears results.
50 gp for proven whereabouts.

In addition, those worthies who oppose the foul 'church' of bane are invited to assist.

And some plotlines based on what's in the DMG:

Seralund Halfmoon, Halfmoon Trading House,

Would like to hire porters for the portage of cargoes.

Strength and combat experience a must.

---------------------------

Squire Serim Selduzar, Unfotunate third son,

is looking to establish himself,
(Having little else to do but follow tradition,
and join the clergy; but he finds he enjoys,
the high life more than the high-minded,
life) and is hoping to assist adventurers in,
clearing out monsters (Kobolds, goblins, yada,
and etc) and bandits, from various locations,
for an 'Agents Fee' to be negotiated.

Which is a rather long-winded way of saying that,
I, with my ear to the ground, am selling information,
on likely looting opportunites to the wandering,
Adventurer.

Enquire within,
Nenter Inn

---------------------------

Lord Warden Faren Markelhay (Seal)

Kobold Hall is becoming a problem.

Enquire with guard Captain Sir Torim (Seal)
