Ok, I think I would like to run through this bad boy again, except I will be on the other side of the screen this time.  We can do PbP here, or and IRC channel.  The plus side to IRC is pacing, but the downside is the scheduling.

QuoteThis module has been designed for a party of 6 to 10 characters,
between the 3rd and 6th levels of experience. The total of the
party's experience levels should be from 26 to 34, with a total of 30
being best.

Considering the character levels required, this will probably be best as a one-shot.  Levels determined by how many sign up, possibly a henchman or two to round out the level requirements.

I got one nibble, anyone else interested?  I will be using 1e or OSRIC instead of Expert.

Six players, 4th or 5th level...  You know you want to...

I only have OSRIC to hand, so i'd be up for that.

OSRIC should work.  We ran through it with 1st edition when I was a lad, and it wasn't a problem.  Cutting and pasting from the pdf of the module will speed things up as well.  :)

3d6 in order, 3d6 and choose or 4d6 dropping the lowest?

Quote from: One Horse Town;2474833d6 in order, 3d6 and choose or 4d6 dropping the lowest?

4d6, drop low, arrange to taste.  If you want to tweak a bit more, you can shift points on a 2:1 basis.

I'll whip up a character then and post both 4th & 5th level versions.

Quote from: One Horse Town;247490I'll whip up a character then and post both 4th & 5th level versions.

Excellent.

Starting money? Are you allowing weapon specialisation or double specialisation? Hit points as rolled at first level? Before 3e, we used to give average hit points at first if you rolled lower than that (it only makes a 2 hit point difference to my character, but i thought i'd ask!)

I'm a dwarven fighter, btw.

Take max hit points and gold at first, roll hit points for the rest.  Double specialization is fine, I can boost the monsters if I need to.  If there aren't enough players, it will help keep things even.

Look, I am offering to run the 15th greatest module of all time (http://robert.infogami.com/Dungeon_116:_30_greatest_adventures)!

Only OHT has taken up the call?

Speaking of, did you ever find that pen I inquired after?

Quote from: StormBringer;248989Speaking of, did you ever find that pen I inquired after?

Not yet. I'll be picking up supplies from the biggest local stationary supplier near me, soon. I'll have a look around. If it's not there, i'll see if they can order it. :)

Quote from: One Horse Town;249447Not yet. I'll be picking up supplies from the biggest local stationary supplier near me, soon. I'll have a look around. If it's not there, i'll see if they can order it. :)

I appreciate it.  Don't put yourself out, though, with the way the postal service works, it may take a bit to get an international money order to you.  If you get a chance, see how much they want, I will send over the currency and we can go from there.

Hello!

I'm in one 1e game over on the RPG.net boards and was poking around, looking for something else.  Looks like you only have your single Dwarf so far?  I was hoping to find a B/X or LL game, but no luck so far.  Any chance you'd go back to running X1 that way? I guess I'm interested either way, but prefer to go older-school.

If you don't get more players, we could also try running two each, I suppose.

Let me know what you think - I'll check back later tonight.

I am going to stick with OSRIC or 1e, although I may dig up something to run using B/X in the future.

Not a big deal.  Let me poke around the web a bit more, but I'll let you know very soon if I want to get in on your game.  How soon were you looking to get started?

Quote from: Koren n'Rhys;251364Not a big deal.  Let me poke around the web a bit more, but I'll let you know very soon if I want to get in on your game.  How soon were you looking to get started?

We will need about four or five more players at this point.  With four more players, everyone will be 5th level.  Five more players and a few may be 4th level.

Sorry to take so long getting back to you.  I found a B/X game on another board after all, so I won't be joining you here.  Good luck with your game.

Sadly, little interest. 8th level with a couple of henchmen? :D :rolleyes:

Quote from: One Horse Town;253502Sadly, little interest. 8th level with a couple of henchmen? :D :rolleyes:

Well, at this point, I think you will have to be 25th level with a couple of henchmen.  :)

Is there any possibility of this being done with Skype/Voicechat?

Quote from: DeadUematsu;253996Is there any possibility of this being done with Skype/Voicechat?

I would have to set something up, as I don't have an account with any VoIP services.

Okay. Is this still on?

Quote from: DeadUematsu;254593Okay. Is this still on?

I still need several people with 4th or 5th level characters.

OK, I don't have OSRIC rules, so I used AD&D from the HC PHB.   I grabbed a set of 1950s bakelite D6s and decided that I would toss them in order (STR, INT, WIS, DEX, CON, CHA) using the 4D6 dropping the lowest.  On my honor, here are the stats of Theile Starslinger, Half-Elven, Magic User:

Have to dig out some books and dice.  Ill repost tonight just wanted to toss my hat in the ring as it were.

I'll jump in on the action.  I can have a character whipped up in a day or so.

Well just so we understand each other im the thief and the elf and the crazy one :) well somewhat anyway

I'm in. Feeling a bit overwhelmed though can't remember how to make a character *S*O*B*

I'm interested if it's play by post.

Quote from: GrayPumpkin;255401I'm interested if it's play by post.

It certainly is.  Whip up a character with 4th and 5th level versions, it looks like there will be no need for 6th level characters with the all the sudden interest.

Will do, I'll have him up early next week.
Thinking about a human illusionist or a maybe a cleric of some kind (half-orc cleric assassin?).
Here are the stats I rolled overall pretty awesome with a couple of low points to make it interesting.
4,3,5,1 (12)
5,2,2,2,(9)
6,5,6,1 (17)
2,3,3,1 (8)
6,6,5,4 ( 17)
6.5,3,6 (17)

Quote from: GrayPumpkin;255453Will do, I'll have him up early next week.

Well, I am playing a Half-Elf MU, we have a Halfling Druid, and a Dwarf Fighter.  A cleric would not be a bad idea but if you are hell bent on an illusionist, I can change my MU to something else.  I had a good strength, and an additional fighter would certainly not be overkill.
Tim

Also, I vote 5th rather than 4th level, since it will give the spellcasters access to the 3rd level spells.

Right now I'm leaning more toward a half-orc cleric assassin, if StormBringer is good with that, I've always wanted to try one out back i the day but never got around to it. That said, having a MU and illusionist in one party shouldn't be a problem, they are different enough classes I would think.

Cleric/Assassin should be ok, but no Chaotic Asshole behaviour.  ;)

Quote from: StormBringer;255705Cleric/Assassin should be ok, but no Chaotic Asshole behaviour.  ;)

No problem, wasn't thinking of it, and thanks.

Quote from: GrayPumpkin;255708No problem, wasn't thinking of it, and thanks.

I was just goofing with you.  I will have a set of ground rules shortly to post.

Ok, here is what we have so far:

One Horse Town - Dwarven Fighter
DeadUematsu - Halfling Druid
timrichter9 - Half-Elven Magic-User
Sinjin767 - Elven Thief
Venosha - Still working
Shellbee - Still working
Grey Pumpkin - Half-Orc Cleric/Assassin

So, it looks like maybe another fighter type and a single classed cleric would be good, but not strictly necessary at this point.

With seven players, we can do fifth level.  Everyone will start at the minimum xp value for fifth level, except for multi-classers.  Anyone playing a multiclass character gets 20,000xp to divide among their classes.

Additionally, everyone gets 5000xp worth of magic items, so dig out your DMGs and use the XP values to buy magic items.  For example, a potion of healing is worth 200xp, so you would have 4800xp left for other items.

Limitations are: one melee weapon, one missile weapon, and one wearable item each.  No need for three sets of bracers of protection or two robes of eyes on one character.  :)  No manuals, librams, tomes, and the like.  Spell scrolls will cost 200xp per spell level inscribed thereon, and you pick the spells you have.  Maximum spell level is one higher than you are able to cast normally.

Example list:
Boots of Elvenkind - 1000
Healing Potion (x5) - 1000
Rope of Entanglement - 1250
Splint Mail +1 - 700
Sword +2 - 800
Shield +1 - 250
Total:  5000

Rods and Staves are all pretty much out of range, but wands and other charge using magic items will be assumed to be at full capacity at the start of the module.

You can pool unspent xp to get additional items for general party use, like potions, or to get an extra item for someone else.  Otherwise, unspent xp is lost.

For those that don't have a DMG, the other players can give you a hand, and I will also be available to get some magic items set up for you.

Additionally, everyone gets 10,000gp to buy more equipment.  You can also use that to enlist the services of henchmen or hirelings.  I will create those as necessary, and arbitrate their actions.

I have final say over any magic items or other equipment, including henchmen, but I would rather work out an equitable solution that fits with your character than bicker over minutiae.

Alignments should be in the neutral to good range.  In the case of the Cleric/Assassin, I will ease the stricture to be an evil alignment only.  Other alignment restrictions still apply.  I am also going to remove restrictions on racial level limits, and race/class limits.  Being a one-shot adventure, I don't much see the point in those.  However, I may run another adventure or two, so if you want to use the same characters and I  allow them, they will not be bound to the restrictions I may enforce.  EDIT:  No Chaotic Stupid or Lawful Asshole, please.  In my games, alignment is a guideline, not a straitjacket.

Since we haven't started yet, you may adjust your characters however you wish.  Edit your original character post instead of making a new post, please.

Some posting conventions to make things easier for everyone:


+/- =

Example:

StormBringer attacks the orc with the spear
15 + 3 = 18

Rolling for damage with the attack, whether or not you think it is successful will speed things up also.

For other die rolls, I will provide all the relevant details, such as what to roll, what modifiers apply, and so on.  If there is a modifier that you aren't sure will apply, note that in a seperate line.

Dexterity check for StormBringer
14 + 2 = 16
Holding Fighter's belt +2

Other than that, pretty much everything is negotiable.  This will be very much in the olde school style, so your planning and occasional retreating will be more important than what is on your character sheet.  I encourage everyone to send PMs back and forth for plotting and scheming purposes, and if you want to ask me something without others knowing about it, you can send me a PM also.  I would ask that you include a tag like [Amber] or something so I know it is related to the game.

One last caveat:  you can have your character try anything you want, but there is no guarantee of success. ;)

I'm working on a cleric now. I have a couple of questions though:

Do clerics forget their spells after they cast them?

In the instance of reversible spells, such as cure light wounds, do I have to choose one or the other, or does knowing one, such as "cure light wounds" automatically give me access to "cause light wounds"?

Quote from: Oni Kadaki;255725I'm working on a cleric now. I have a couple of questions though:

In the instance of reversible spells, such as cure light wounds, do I have to choose one or the other, or does knowing one, such as "cure light wounds" automatically give me access to "cause light wounds"?

Clerics meditate and pray for spells every day.  The mechanic is exactly the same as Magic Users re-learning their spells.

I am pretty sure that OD&D allowed the casting of reversible spells if you knew the normal version, but AD&D did away with that.  For this one-shot, I don't see that it will make much difference, as you will be expending a spell slot, and the extra versatility isn't going to break the game.  Unless someone has a compelling reason not to, I will allow all spell casters automatic use of reversible spells.  Magic Users have somewhat fewer reversible spells, but a wider diversity of spells overall, so I don't think that will be a problem either.  But I am open to discussion, and everyone is certainly welcome to offer their opinions.  Any individual player can opt-out if they wish, as well, and memorize the normal and reversible form of a spell separately.

Alright, I started a character sheet, but i'm confused about a couple of things. First, how do I determine starting HP, and how do I determine saving throws? Also, where can I find a list of costs for magic equipment? I'll determine encumbrance and move rate once my starting equipment is set in stone.

If you guys could let me know if there are any glaringly obvious errors here, i'd appreciate it, as this is my first character sheet.

Hit points are max at first level, 8 in your case, then rolled normally for the remaining levels.  Saving throws are in the DMG.  For a cleric of your level:
Paralyzation, Poison, Death magic: 9
Petrification or Polymorph: 12
Rod, Staff, Wand: 13
Breath Weapon: 15
Spell: 14

Some saving throws will be modified by your Wisdom score, I will alert you as those come up.

Quote4th lvl- 1? (Stormbringer said we have access to one level higher than we normally would)
Sticks to snakes

Only for scroll purchases with your magic item purchases.  The DMG has all the magic items and their xp values, which is what you would use to purchase them from the 5000xp provided.  Since spells scrolls don't have an xp value, I set the cost at 200xp per level, and an additional limitation is that the spells can only be one level higher than the maximum you can normally cast.  That is so people aren't walking around with three or four wish spells apiece.  ;)

I have decided to be a human monk.  I will have the complete character up by tomorrow, too tired tonight.

Hey Stormbringer, check out my magic items.

Magic Items (5000xp)
 Gauntlets of Ogre Strength (1000xp), Leather Armor +1 (300xp), Periapt of
 Wound Closure (1000xp), Potion of Healing (x2, 400xp), Potion of Animal
 Control (x1, 200xp), Potion of Treasure Finding (x1, 600xp), Scimitar +2 (750xp),
 Wings of Flying (750xp)

Are these okay?

Also, I plan on recruiting some halfling fighters as henchmen. What are the monthy rates (I am assuming 100gp/level/month)? Also, can I use the additional 10,000 gold pieces to outfit my henchmen with magic items or does that have to come out of my pool?

Those look fine.

Henchmen aren't hired, and they don't generally have their own magic items, but you can have them use any of yours for which they are permitted use.  Finding classed hirelings won't be particularly easy, and they will be limited in numbers.  Porters, teamsters, pack handlers and so on are fairly easy to come by.

So no halfling army, but you can probably find two 2nd level or three or four first level fighters. They will normally want a half share of treasure, expect to be healed like anyone else, and have equipment supplied or replaced.  The going rate averages 100gp/level/month, up front.  They will be, in all respects, normal hirelings; no bonuses to morale and such.

Fair enough. I will see what the others think before I take on any. If I do, I will probably aim to attract two 2nd level fighters and will parcel out the gauntlets to one and the wings to the other. With those items, plate mail, shields, short bows, and short swords, they ought to be formidable helpers.

Here's my character, lemme know if there are any problems. I still need to pick a god to worship, still paging though Deities and Demigods, are Greyhawk Gods also acceptable?

It won't make a huge difference, although I will be able to use it for future plot hooks.  ;)

Sorry guys, i'm out. I won't be available for a bit.

Fortuitously, I'm working on a human fighter.

Excellent!  I haven't gotten confirmation back yet, but I was planning on keeping OHT's dwarf fighter in the group, if he wants, until his glorious return from holiday.  So a human fighter in the lead, and an NPC dwarven fighter for a bit of extra punch.

This is exciting! It's like a small army being amassed.

Well, it is an Olde School module.  You will need it.

:D

Could somebody with a DMG help me figure out some equipment for my cleric? I'm new at this and am completely lost.

I'll do what I can. What are you needing?

You can drop the eversmoking bottle and add two healing potions instead.

15 Int is more than adequate.  As I am fond of mentioning, my original Magic User went all the way to 16th level with a 16 Int.

Quote...Can I buy some wire?

Wire wasn't very common until quite recently, but some tough silk cord,  or hemp or leather twine is available.

Right, then. Added some leather twine. Need to know if the weight is right, though - OSRIC doesn't have it.

HD: 1d4: 1. Dreaded that. I'll just be hiding in the middle of the formation, then.

And I'm done for the day.

Nope, max hit points at first level, then roll normally after that.  Give your character 4 more levels, you have 5000xp with which to buy magic items (guidelines above), and 10,000gp in whatever mix of currency you want.

The leather twine will be 1lb per 20', and braided should be strong enough to lash things together and such, but don't count on it supporting anything near your weight.

I'm pretty sure somewhere earlier in the thread SB said to take max HP for first level, so worry avoided.

Gah!  SB's post wasn't showing up for me when I did this.  No idea why.

The dice mock me. (4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1) 10 HP

Does anyone know of a (Legal) .pdf with a list of AD&D magic items and a leveled list of the spells? OSRIC doesn't have the first and their spell list is alphabetical and expanded - And I don't have hours to pour over everything. :) (I'm rather slow at making characters. I consider 'fast' to be 45 minutes - And that's without background)

Final round up:

One Horse Town - Dwarven Fighter (npc for now)
DeadUematsu - Halfling Druid
timrichter9 - Half-Elven Magic-User
Sinjin767 - Elven Thief (still to post)
Venosha - Human Monk
Shellbee - Elven Ranger/Magic User (still to post)
Grey Pumpkin - Half-Orc Cleric/Assassin
Oni Kadaki - Human Cleric
Eric E. - Human Fighter
Narf the Mouse - Human (?) Magic User

No more room, so this is the final player list.  I will monitor the thread over the weekend to finalize characters.

I will set up the IC and OOC threads Sunday night or Monday morning.  Once those are in place, I will post the opening description, and we will start.

For my part, I will likely play around with a couple of different formats for descriptions, NPC dialog, and so on to keep it separate and easy to follow.  

With the In Character thread, I would like to see dialogue set off with apostrophes ("Of course, this isn't a dissertation," said StormBringer brightly, "so there it won't be graded"), and if you wish to share your character's thoughts, those can be in scare quotes ('Wonderful idea', StormBringer thought darkly).  Otherwise, it can be as freeform as you like, with whatever formatting you feel is most readable.  If you are replying to another character's dialogue, it would be easiest to follow if you cut and paste the dialogue and then responded.  If necessary for clarity, add in who said what.

Quote"I'm more concerned about the devil than my blood pressure." He put both elbows on the counter, put his hands up and in his hair, cracked his neck as he jostled it side to side. One finger slipped down and bumped his glasses.

Quote"I'm more concerned about the devil than my blood pressure." said StormBringer
"Blood pressure medicine is very important. You should be regular about it. Just tell me your last name." She tried to remain in the zone of 'nice' but felt like just turning around and waiting on the car window, where someone had just pulled up and placed an order in the sliding slot.

[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

Describe your character's actions or reactions to the environment, avoid describing anyone else's.  In the example above, you wouldn't want to add 'StormBringer said through gritted teeth' or 'StormBringer said cheerfully', as that may not have been the intention, even if it wasn't explicitly stated.

Considering the nature of the exchange in PbP, you can post as much as you want, of course, but I may split up a post's worth of actions into more than one 'round' if it seems necessary.

Quote"I am ready when everyone else is." said StormBringer, hefting his pack over his shoulders, belting on his sword and donning his helmet.  Striding out the door with purpose, he unties his horse and slings the saddlebags behind him as he places a foot in the stirrup and swings up and over the horse into a comfortable position

Not a large post, obviously, but I would have to break that down into three or four rounds worth of action.  In these cases, you will be assumed to be committed to the entire chain of events, but I will allow reasonable interruptions as warranted.  If no one stops you before you are out the door, you may spend a few rounds sitting on your horse before you realize everyone else is still inside.

In addition, I would like to see at least one post per day from everyone, hopefully more.  Combat rounds are going to be tricky, especially with this size of group.  We will play that by ear until things settle out, but I would like to start out with individual initiative, so things may bog down a bit in order to get attacks in the correct sequence.

I am not going to be a hardass about any of it, but I might put out a few gentle reminders here and there in OOC.

OOC will be more freeform, and the most appropriate place for general questions or clarifications.  Of course, all the mechanical stuff will be in there also.  Again, if there is something you want clarification on without alerting the rest of the party, you are free to PM me directly, and of course, you can PM or email each other as desired for secret planning and so on.

So, until the game officially starts on Monday, this will be the place for any last minute questions, clarifications, suggestions, discussions, protests and whatnot.
[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

The minimum/maximum spells - Per level or total? Also, the last two questions I posted. :)

If necessary, I will go through the alphabetical list, but it'll probably eat up at least half the day of my going 'Is this better, or is that better?'.

I'm a perfectionist. I annoy myself with that. Yes, I know that doesn't make sense.

Sounds good to me, Stormbringer. Can't wait to get started.

Min/Max is per spell level.  Picking spells is tough business sometimes.  I still have to get a list together for timrichter9, which I will do tonight or tomorrow morning, then the spell casters can trade spells before the start, if they want.

*zzzooooommm*

I thought you were ready to start, or i wouldn't have pulled out over a short break.

Okey, dokey, can someone with the DMs guide to hand equip my dwarf please? Armour, weapons & shield are favourite.

No problem, we had a few last minute joiners.  I thought you would be out for a week or two.

If no one else offers a suggestion, I will get a list together tonight for you.

Yeah, I'm going to need a magic item list, too, please.

So basically, I grab Read Magic and one other spell, then go down the list alphabetically, rolling to see if I can learn a spell - And then I choose my remaining spells from among them randomly?

* Is a bit confused. OSRIC is very brief.

More or less.  It doesn't have to be random so much, as everyone is fifth level, I will assume the spell casters have had adequate time to build a spell book of their own design.

I set timrichter9 up with 14 spells per level in his spell book.   I can whip up another list for you, if you like.

Quote from: timrichter9;255604Also, I vote 5th rather than 4th level, since it will give the spellcasters access to the 3rd level spells.

Ok, here is your spellbook:

Dang, I just noticed this.  I wasn't having anyone buy magic items, that is what the 5000xp stipend is for.  The 10,000 was for rounding out your gear, perhaps hiring a henchman or two, or getting a horse.  Mundane stuff one collects in five levels of adventuring.

The poisons are fine, but we will have to work something out with the magic items.

Ok, we are locked in, tomorrow morning I will be posting the IC and OOC threads and posting the intro to IC.  No one has posted over the weekend, I will assume everyone is ready to go.  Here is the rundown:

QuoteOne Horse Town - Dwarven Fighter - Character and Magic Items
DeadUematsu - Halfling Druid - Character, Magic Items and Spells
timrichter9 - Half-Elven Magic-User - Character, Magic Items and Spells
Sinjin767 - Elven Thief (still to post)
Venosha - Human Monk - Character, Magic Items and Spells
Shellbee - Elven Ranger/Magic User (still to post)
Grey Pumpkin - Half-Orc Cleric/Assassin - Character, Magic Items and Spells
Oni Kadaki - Human Cleric - Character, Magic Items and Spells
Eric E. - Human Fighter (still to post)
Narf the Mouse - Human Magic User - Character, Magic Items, Still to Post Spells

Sinjin, Shellbee, and Eric E, there is going to be a bit of time during the intro to post characters.  Post them in here; while other things are going on and if anyone has last minute shopping to do there should be some time to finalize your characters.

Considering the recommended levels are exceeded by about half, I will be boosting encounters by a roughly equal amount to keep it challenging.

Other than that, I think everything is ready, I will post the intro tomorrow morning, and we will go from there.

If I have forgotten anything for anyone, or there are any questions that come up during play, I will leave this thread active.  I was considering another thread for rulings and questions, but that would seems to many to keep track of, so post any ongoing rules or rulings questions in here, and I will address them.

Thanks for all your time and effort in getting characters together, and for the enthusiasm!  See you tomorrow morning!

Groovy. I'll alter my character sheet.

Sorry; had some computer-related troubles logging in and some...Sleep-related troubles due to...Uh...Neverwinter Nights 2...It's addictive!

Quote from: StormBringer;258598Ok, here is your spellbook:

Naren Ezer. Hmm...LN, cold, logical. I don't do neutral often, nor the other two.

Brought up by a distant and cold Wizard his parents 'apprenticed' (Read: Sold) him to, he scrubbed floors, cleaned dishes and learnt magic. It wasn't a loving environment, so he doesn't really know that emotion, but it was stable and reliable. He suspects he was taught magic because the wizard (Arceth Zezzar) didn't know what else to do with him and was LN as well, so fair pay for fair work.

So that's five spells at first level, two at second and one at third? I'll check for sure after I get some sleep; I'm running rather low.

Did you want the same spell list as timrichter9?

Oh, sorry - I put a 'Yes' in front of every spell I picked on the list. :) Was rather tired; didn't really realize it would be hard to see.

1st: Burning Hands, Charm Person, Grease, Identify, Sleep.
2nd: ESP, Web.
3rd: Fireball.

No problem, but your spellbook will have more spells than just the ones you have memorized.  With a 15 Int, you will have a maximum of 11 spells per level inscribed in your spellbook, and those are the only ones you will be able to use from that level.

Ok, fixing. X's are memorized spells. I've chosen ten each and left one open.

1st: Burning Hands (X), Charm Person (X), Detect Magic, Grease (X), Hold Portal, Identify (X), Magic Missile, Shield, Sleep (X), Spider Climb.
2nd: Continual Light, Darkness 15' Radius, Detect Evil, ESP (X), Invisibility, Levitate, Melf's Acid Arrow, Mirror Image, Rope Trick, Wizard Lock.

Looks good.  You can edit those back into your previous post, if you like, or set your self a link to that post for quick reference.

Ok.. So this is my first Module (rather than a social WoD type thing).
Are we doing a real time IRC game, or a post as you can type thing?
Will there be a FAQ explaining how you plan to conduct the game?

Thanks. :)

Naren Ezer. Hmm...LN, cold, logical. I don't do neutral often, nor the other two.

Brought up by a distant and cold Wizard his parents 'apprenticed' (Read: Sold) him to, he scrubbed floors, cleaned dishes and learnt magic. It wasn't a loving environment, so he doesn't really know that emotion, but it was stable and reliable. He suspects he was taught magic because the wizard (Arceth Zezzar) didn't know what else to do with him and was LN as well, so fair pay for fair work.

He finished his apprenticeship at a mutually-agreeable age (Check ages) and left to adventure and as aquantances.

Do I get Read Magic by default, or do I have to select it? It isn't on the list that I can see.

'101 Ways of Bypassing Security', by Unsigned. (Co-signed by a Paladin, with church stamp, saying that the thief who wrote it is Good)
'Dirty traps and tricks', by M.Y. Shiv. (Front cover and first thirty pages: 'Gardening, Flowers and You'. Yes, Naren has a nasty mind. He's Lawful with very little Good. That means 'Mercy for bandits and monsters' isn't really that interesting a concept for him...)
'Morovain's Contemplations of Death Magic', by Morovain. (One of the very rare Good necromancers. No remaining spellbooks of his are known to exist)
'Laws and Due Process', by Sir Reginalt, with Unwanted Commentary by The Guy You Never Caught. (The Unwanted Commentary version is both more expensive and more helpful, from both sides of the process. TGYNC had an odd sense of humor and fairness, apparently)
'A Short Treatise of the Ethics of Magic Use and the Many Quandaries and Concerns Therein, Revised Edition, Vol. 1 of 32, Introduction', by Quincy Morris, Librarian. (The Introduction is what most people would call 'Very thorough')

Quote from: Narf the MouseDo I get Read Magic by default, or do I have to select it? It isn't on the list that I can see.

Read Magic is a freebie, no spell slot taken up.  So, you will have 11 first level spells, plus Read Magic, so 12 total first level spells in your spellbook

I am going to keep the original recruiting thread open for rulings or other game related questions, and OOC for questions relating to the module itself.  I am not going to be some kind of hardass about that, though, so don't worry overmuch if you have a question about Castle Amber in the recruitment thread, or a general game question in the OOC thread.

Do you still have room for another player?

Quote from: Drohem;259793Do you still have room for another player?

It is looking that way.  What did you have in mind?

Quote from: StormBringer;259798It is looking that way.  What did you have in mind?

Well, reading through the most of the posts it looks like you have all the party roles covered; is there any role that the party is currently lacking?

I am flexible and can play anything really; although, I am leaning towards a dwarven fighter/thief if possible.

Sure, sounds good.  There is going to be overlap no matter what you choose, at this point.  We have a monk, and possibly a thief, so that is one area that is somewhat lacking.

Have you decided that you will be joining us then?  Haven't seen anything more on the thief front, or another fighter? What do you think StormBringer?

Eric E looks like he might have to be integrated later, if he still wants to, and I have it on good authority that Sinjin and Shellbee will be more available starting next week.  So for the time being, your Monk appears to be the only one with thief abilities.  The group could certainly use another thief for backup.

As an assassin I got some thief abilities, though granted not as good as full blown thief.

Dammit, I forgot about that, too.  I am going to have to start writing things down.  :)

Hey, I just realized that there is a 3% chance that I have psionic powers.  Care to roll that off for me Storm??  heh heh

Quote from: timrichter9;260130Hey, I just realized that there is a 3% chance that I have psionic powers.  Care to roll that off for me Storm??  heh heh

I am having a hard enough time keeping track of who wants to hire the shorties, and which characters have thief abilities.  Do you think I will be able to remember who has psionics?  :)

For psionics check (1d100=97) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1783369/)

I suggest you write it all down....don't you know we want it all!  :)

Not sure if this will help but KenHR posted an Herbal link, and I thought maybe our cleric might want to take a look for reference? In case anyone misses the thread.

http://www.republicofnewhome.org/lai...herb5illo.html

Eeeeeenteresting.

The Druid would certainly know some of this, as well the Assassin.  Probably the Ranger, possibly the Clerics.

It may come in handy.

Edit:  Illustrated guide to Herbs for RPGs (http://www.republicofnewhome.org/lair/games/herb5/herb5illo.html)

Looks like Drohem was using the Invisible Castle to generate a character, which is cool beans.  Using the full title of the thread is probably a good way to keep the rolls unique, so if you want to include the campaign in your rolls, use:

{Olde School} X2 - Castle Amber

Storm-
Did you actually role this??  Hahaha.

Well, I was futzing around with psionics, reading my old PHB, and I did a mock psionic power list for Starslinger.  I rolled only 23 for power points, so
nothing scary.  

I randomized the rolls on the disciplines and got
Sensitivity to Psychic Impressions (kinda whimpy)
ESP (as the 2nd level MU spell, which I know), and
Body Equilibrium (which allows water walking, don't sink in quicksand, etc).

The major power was Mass Domination (which is cool).

However with 23 Psionic Strength. he cannot do much...

let me know if the above was a true roll and whether or not you would permit psionics.  I would use them judiciously (based on the points, I would have too)... I never got to play a psionicist in the old days...Then again, I didn't play a lot of Arcane casters either...

I will double check tomorrow, but I think the total would be 64pts for the powers, and 128points for attack and defence.  I will let you know for sure when I have the final calculations, and the attack and defence modes.

The real question becomes, are you sure you want them?  Psionic combat can be deadly, especially if you run out of points for defence.  You can see some of the possible results on pages 76 and 77 of the DMG, if you have that available.

I will get the modes finalized, and see if there are any other modifications to make, then you can look it over and see if you still want to use them.

EDIT:

Ok, looks like you will have 32 attack points, and 32 defense points, for a psionic ability of 64pts.  You have one attack mode, and two defence modes, which you can choose.  If you are comfortable with the possible outcomes for psionic combat, pick your attack and two defence modes, and we should be set.

Curate Loric is a simple young man, second born to Lord Fredrick of Moray. He was sent to a monastery as a child for two reasons: to get him out of the way of his older brother's inheritance and to get him out of his fathers sight. He was born as if sleeping and quite small, but his family's prayers saved his life for some purpose. Still, his father saw him as a disgrace, set on him by the gods to mock him and cause him shame. Loric is frail, clumsy, slow, and weak, nothing like his father or older brother.

Once at the monastery, he showed great promise, especially for someone of limited intellect. He took imediately to the faith and began performing miracles by the age of 7.

An adventuring group in need of a healer asked him to join. They offered to provide him with food and to carry his few simple belongings.

Equipment: Robe, Staff, Coin Pouch, Holy Symbol, Prayer Book

I didn't see the 4d6 rolling method. If the GM wants to give me a strength / wisdom bonus to make up for my manly stats, it would be appreciated.

It might be easier to just pick one of the current zombied players.

Quote from: Kord's Boon;310224I might like to go with Sander Lightwalker human cleric.

Excellent.  If you are ready, I can pull you in now.  You can download the OSRIC rules and use those, if you don't have the 1st edition books.

Sweet. I'm using OSRIC despite having the 1e rules :)

Edit: Sweet about getting a cleric aboard I mean :)

Quote from: Sigmund;310322Sweet. I'm using OSRIC despite having the 1e rules :)

Edit: Sweet about getting a cleric aboard I mean :)

Yeah, OSRIC managed to clear up the abstruse surprise rules in the DMG.  For that alone, it is worth its weight in gold.

Great to hear it, I have a copy of OSRIC to reference as well.

Excellent, you ready to jump in?

I suppose so, but I've been unable to find the character background amongst the creators posts, only know he's a repenting cleric.

Ok, looks like we are on a short hiatus until some players can get things settled in the real world, so now is a good time to try a recruiting drive!

We have a number of PCs that need some good players, or if none of them interest you, there is room to bring in your own.  5th level-ish is what we have been shooting for, so if you have a character around that level you want to play again, send me a PM and let's get something worked out!

The cast of characters:

Halfling Druid
Half-Elven Magic-User
Elven Thief
Elven Ranger/Magic User
Half-Orc Cleric/Assassin
Human Fighter

The character sheets are posted all over this thread, but I am sure we can direct you to a specific character if you want to take them over.

Have a look, skim the thread to get caught up, and drop me a note with your thoughts!
