OOC Roleplay Corner Questions

Remove all ads!

I thought it might be better just to open a new topic for questions about the ropleplaying thread as oposed to everying posting in OOC question in the thread.

Anyway, should we post something saying what our character looks like, or a stat sheet or something since we are using characters noone else is really familiar with?

 

The usual form is to describe your character in your first post. Your class and alignment need not be obvious. Please e-mail your char sheet to erran@dial.pipex.com I would like to try and make this feel as much like NWN as possible.

 

I wish to participate.
How do ye make a char sheet apart from manual txt creation?

 

I had planned to just writting out a character sheet from the 3rd edition PHB and scanning it, then emailing it to Erran. I suppose you could also use the cd in the back of the PHB to create your character and print out the details, but I hacen't tried to print it yet. Incidently, that character generator is awsome. It's not totally acurate for whatever reason, but it's really good for the most part.

 

Ah, then the olde hand-typed way, I've no scanner is posession...
The CG is rather good indeed, never had an idea to actually open that CD, but the program is nice; allows to do the paperwork much faster.

 

try this place to make your char then just cut and paste granted its pool of radiance but it uses 3e rules

You can attach the raw '.cg3' file to your e-mail. My char gen can read that and print it out. Easy - peasy!

 

Hey now that's cool. I didn't even think about that. Better get to crackin' then.

 

We are trying to achieve something here that feels like a new game of NWN, within the constraints of the format. Playing with real people and a live DM is different than CRPGs. One important thing is game balance or a level playing field. No 'uber' characters - thats why EVERYONE starts with 32pts and 120gp. Starting equpment should be bought out of this at PHB prices. I am operating an 'honesty' system so I trust eg Knomal will deduct 30gp from his cash for the pin he bought.
Special items (scrolls, potions etc) may be bought at Optyms Blade (see first post) at DMG prices.
Xander, the only equipment you list is xbow and spear, no mention of any scrolls. If you wish to purchase high level scrolls you may be shocked at the price. No-one has inherited any high level stuff from their grandparents etc. If anybody wishes to cast a spell from whatever please announce that, I will tell you if you succeed. Using a scroll above your level can go (very) wrong.

Who lives where (East coast/ west coast/ europe)? I'll try and get a live session going if the action hots up and we can find a time slot that works for everyone.

 

Erran, what's your mail? it's not in your profile.


I'm in europe +1 Greenwich time

 

Currently residing in Louisiana, Central US time. So it's now 1:35 pm where I live.

 

Ok, I'm in the UK. My e-mail is erran@sorcerers.net, my ICQ is 111459748. Central US is a trickey one, do you prefer early (I think your 6pm is my midnight) or late (your midnight is my 6am)?

 

Wow that is kinda tricky isn't it. Hmmm....well I'm usually home from work by 11:00 in the evening, so late night could work. I'm also home in the afternoon from 2-4 pm almost every day, and I have Sunday evenings and all day Mondays off for now (could change soon to all day Sunday off and having the weeknights off Mon-Thurs). But please note I will be out of town this Sunday and Monday on bussiness.

 

Can I change my character sheet, I've decided that an artisan's outfit fits my initial description better than a scholar's outfit. I'm usually online sometime between 6pm and 8pm GMT, although weekends are different, and I go on when I feel like.

 

man this is kinda tricky, I'm in Florida, Eastern Time zone, but I'm not on at any particular time.

 

I have vacation at the moment, so I can go online any time of day. Though from tomorrow and a week forward, I'll be offline, but then I assume I'm available after that

 

Hahah, ok I admit, I'm confused.

I was trying to find a good time to hop into the game, but I feel that things have gone wrong...

I made an attempt to appear during the morning meeting, and was more or less ignored, which is ok, but then the whole group evidently moved to another location!

I didn't catch this at first - my bad - and I tried another post, which did get replied to (thanks Ironbeard! ) So I'm trying to figure out:
a.) if its assumed my character followed the whole group along
b.) if Xander is assumed to have followed the whole group along
c.) is the reply I got from Jakob from within the Inn or "the dark stag"

Any help will be appreciated.

Oh, just as a side note.. Ironbeard you referred to Crawl's character 'Xalen' as Crawl, heh, maybe you should edit that.

 

Thanks for that. Man, I'm new to ths roleplay business . I assumed that you'd followed the bulk of the group to the herald's.

 

Ironbeard, I used to play D&D all the time when I was kid (bunch of other rpgs as well) and we used to accidently refer to each other's characters as they're real names all the time. Hahah, it happens alot. I used to DM and do that...

hmm, it appears Jakob had a busy night, ok so now we're at the trading coster? the herald's or the Inn? Arg! How do I insert myself into this... (bummer i missed the chat relay.. damn)

Suggestions are welcome! I'm going to read back over alot of it, to get caught up, and assume my boy Pimm has been educated as to what is going on...

 

Erran, I know this isn't really relevant right now, and probably won't be for a long while, but...from what sources can we get material for our characters. Are we limited to the classes and feats/spells/skills in the PHB only, or can we uses suppliment material like, oh say, Tome and Blood, Sword and Fist, Forgotten Realms, etc. to uses when picking spells, feats, or perhaps later down the line, prestige classes. Is anything open, or would we have to clear it with you beforehand(like we wouldn't have the time anyway..heh ). Just wondering for future reference.
