OOC - Out Of Character

Jerry - you alive man? I'm sure you're just busy, but I just wanted to make sure you were all right seeing how it's been nearly 2 weeks since your last post on here.

Yeah..... lets hope not another DM has fallen off the face of the planet...... then we'd have role playing issues!


On a side note, I will be in Atlanta this Sunday night through Saturday afternoon(8/24-8/30) and do not know whether or not I will be able to check back here. Not that we're posting anything anyway.

Yeah, sorry all, things have been very busy, one thing after another. I'm looking through the game right now, will have a post later today.

quick question that is vital to my next post..... as a dracen, do i only sleep 4 hours? i know that drow do, and i wasn't sure exactly otherwise. let me know!

Check the Dracen race in the Dark Star race compendium EXCEL file. If there is no mention of it there, then you need a standard 8 hours. Otherwise, you'll need whatever the information specifies.

How does retrying a survival check work for fishing? According to the book you can only make one survival check for 'getting along in the wild' every 24 hours. This seems like a very vague statement and I was hoping for clarification. If I'm fishing and roll a 1, does that mean I've scared away all the fish for 24 hours? Haha, anyone have insight on this? (I'm looking your way Jerry )

yeah..... shouldn't fishing be some other check? oh wellz.

Anyway, like i said I will be in Atlanta this week. Flying out this afternoon, and returning friday night. I've heard that you have to pay for the internet connection there, so I will not even be bringing my laptop. if i find some way to get to a computer, excellent, but i can't make any promises. Have a good week guys if i don't stop by!

staying in a hotel? usually there is free wireless at hotels... at least all the ones I have stayed at recently. Airports are a different story though, sometimes it's free and sometimes you pay by the hour (which really sucks for long layovers).

The survival check is just to get food. If you fail your check it means that in all the time you spend fishing you lose your bait, you get bites, but all in all you fail to catch anything. It is really easy to fish really well and completely fail at the catching check. I've spent 8 hours in a boat, gone through tons of bait and lures and come home with nothing but frustration ;P

makes sense. it's just strange how sometimes D&D is so specific down to minute details (races) and other things are very broad (survival check, AC). oh well... no fish for Krytox... (for now, grrrr)

Heh, there are lots of them, they just swim around your legs (since you're standing in a swamp) then nip your toes...err claws and swim away. Or maybe there are no fish...it is a swamp after all. Or maybe since your roll was so low you found a puddle and threw your line in trying to catch a boot :D

Damn, if I'd caught a boot at least it would've added flavor to the stew. Instead all I got was mud... :sigh:

Thats alright, hopefully my roll was high enough. It was actually decent this time, and I do have a +4 so it shouldn't be a bad stew this time. It may be that you guys just add a bonus to my roll as well with each of you foraging (that would be better than using your rolls :D )

hey, whatever..... if jerry lets us add, then more awsomeness to our soup. our internet seems to have free access downstairs, but not upstairs in our room. either way i'm working 12 hour days in our training "boot camp" so whether or not i post every day is very depending upon my mood and what teh others are doing. Either way, i'll be back in full on friday night after i get home from my flight.

good times! maybe it's only free wireless in 'common areas'. speaking of wireless, when did jerry (and jack, too) cut the cord and go back to AA? is he without internet currently?

I got an email about him going back about a week and a half ago. I do not know if he has internet or not however, I don't remember that being a part of his email.

hmmm.... well maybe we'll have to call him :)

Hey guys, just a heads up. Thanks for your patience with the snail's pace of the game but unfortunately this pace may be the best I can do for the upcoming months. I have a lot on my plate and have been feeling a little overwhelmed recently. As hesitant as I am to relegate this game to my secondary concerns, I've had to do so. I'm sure you all understand, and thanks again for being patient!

Novemterra Re-Boot: Open Invite

Greetings, everyone! Hope you're all well.

Thanks for your enthusiasm for Novemterra so far. It has been a fantastic journey so far, and now we can look forward to more adventure up ahead as we get this game rebooted and back on track.

Recap & Present Situation

Last time I was around, we had ended up trying out a co-DM situation where there would be two smaller groups of players, each going on their own adventures as independent groups of a larger organization. That was the way things were back in August before the official hiatus began.

Now that I am back, the hiatus is lifted, and we are going back to adventures with a single player group, continuing with a restart of Chapter 2, A Shining Pillar of Deception. (the email I sent you is outdated with regards to this – we are not starting right where we left off, because you may be better off just redoing Chapter 2 from the start if the new player group changes drastically.)

As mentioned in the email, I will take the first 5-7 players who express an interest (either here, or in the email I sent out). Participation is encouraged for all interested players who will be able to post at least once per two to three days.

Your reply is eagerly awaited. Let me know, thanks and take care!

dibs! (does anyone remember that?)

i'm totally in!

count me in

yes. Rasa shall kill all who oppose him! (by means of sneaking up behind and stabbing.... no need for a face to face duel)

lol...I'll believe it when I see it...

I claim the next 2 spots (alterith/bloodlust).

so yeah, if the group is small enough, i'd be interested, but please make me your last consideration as a potential group member.

Merry Belated Christmas, everyone!

Here's the sitch:

• We're going to re-start Chapter 2. I'll open a new Chapter 2 game thread January 2nd (the current one will be deleted)
  
• You may use your current character, or you may elect to create a new character. Level 2, standard treasure.
  
• The current roster is: Andrew, Alex, Ben, Trevor, Zadok, Jack, and maybe Nick and David.
  

I'll be out of town starting tomorrow, so I'll look forward to seeing you all here after the New Year! Use that time to think about your character and review Chapters 0 and 1, and the campaign material in these forums.
