Gaming Convention

[Rain Yupa]

So yeah, sorry I've been sparse lately. Getting ready for a gaming convention I'm going to this weekend. My alt-itis has decreed I make a character of every role for every game I'm playing in, so that's 20 characters I've been putting together. o_o'

21, including my war wizard for a return to a competition I did last year.

Also, the DM has asked me to make a few extra pre-gens for other players, so I'll be dedicating a little more time now to preparation.

Come Sunday Evening, I'll be done and free, and able to turn my full attention to the guild again :3

I'll poke in on and off until sometime mid-Friday. After that though, I'll be back Sunday night, or possibly Monday morning.

Dang, should of let some of us help you out bro, but I'm abit of a power player turned rp goon so my ideas would be numbers first story after  

[joe-dude667]

[Rain Yupa]

On the plus side, I finally grabbed Primal Power yesterday! Huzzah!

I'll be leaving within the hour 3nodding Last game ends 6pm'ish on Sunday, and I should be back by 8-9, I'd say :3

Brother Mercutio, Wrathful Invoker of Pelor; "I come as a messenger for either peace, or destruction. Choose wisely."

22.5 levels later, lets hope he's come to terms with his god. or that your epic level dying planet game has some evil squirrels in it.

And here I thought I was kicking around too many unused character ideas. I bow to your over-preparedness. I'm curious about your choices of paths and destinies for some of the higher level characters. and whether Taranis Stormbeard is a stormsoul sorcerer or a lightning-element dragonsoul.  

[JinKazamaru]

I recall his Dragonborn Druid idea in my game that fell apart as soon as we switched to a sub forum, alot of unused rp potential.  

[joe-dude667]

Then re-used for another game that fell apart before even getting to the rp! =P

its always sad when good characters die OOC, and not in game.

Hey, the hotel has a (really really tiny) computer lab!

2 games in.

First game, I played the Warden, and we succeeded overthrowing the monarchy. Our plan of subterfuge quickly resorted to a running battle with guards, as per really poor dice rolls for Bluff and Stealth.

Fun fact! Skewering the toddler prince on a greatspear does WONDERS for keeping the King and Queen from retreating from the battle! Better than marking them, even!

Second game, we got horribly spanked by the first encounter. Brain in the Jar, 2 Tomb Guardians, 2 Shadowy Skeleton monster things. FAR higher than a 7th level encoutner (only 4 players). We BARELY survived, having used all our encounters, dailies, and utilities, and still half the party was down. We had to go extend rest after the first battle JUST to continue.

Second battle (all we had time for) ended in about 1/5 the time, due to finally some decent rolls on our parts. Big bad went down in 2 rounds.

Catch y'all later!
