General OOC chat & RTJ specific adventures
Use this thread for general OOC related to the campaign (and not to a specific adventure - for that there should be a specific OOC dedicated to that group), for expressing interest on playing specific adventures still to be started (or to play again an adventure already played by other players) and for RTJ them.

Interest noted.
Please make sure you have the character ready to start.
The group 1 game is approaching its end and maybe enough characters from that game will go that way, or maybe somebody else will join and show interest for the same game.

"Group 0" OOC chat and RTJ specific adventures
Today I tweaked a little bit the main information thread, adding the possibility of impersonating an Afridhi character (probably complicate to roleplay, but if you can impersonate a half-Orc, a Peswah and a Skandaharian, why not an Afridhi as well), a few deities (the most exotic, mysterious or... deceased) and similar minor tweaks.

"Group 0" OOC chat and RTJ specific adventures
Hi, Group 1 got a bit stuck near the end of the adventure (it can always happen), but now it shouldn't take much and then it should be easy involving you in a new adventure.

On the other hand, I just posted in the main RTJ+info thread the proposal of a very funny adventure (see The Confectionery King, Group B) that would be PERFECT just around Christmas time (that is not that far).
If your main characters will be busy in some other adventure by then, it would make sense just creating a secondary one for it ;)

Welcome!
I suggest you have a look at the campaign RTJ thread, go through the setting and the ruleset, check out if any of the currently proposed games are of interest for you, signal which one inspires you more and create a character.
See if the character sheet is of any help, otherwise feel free to modify it as you like.

This evening I added a small section of the RTJ and info main thread that is about social status. I think that at this point in time it doesn't really impact any of you, but it can become more interesting as you start thinking about joining the ranks of nobility.
Please have a look at it and let me know if it makes sense for you, as I can always rectify it if you have better ideas.

Hello, Ties that bind (group A) is already full. You need to join another adventure.
Current characters that are not already involved in an adventure, apart from you are Grumm and Tilsen. Maybe they want to join you.
Of course every player can create a new character and join an adventure with you... so they will have a spare ;)

Luckily it doesn't take much to create a character for an AFF game.
If Hrava will be an animalfriend bowman and Tilsen a rogue, I'd say that you probably need a warrior to complete the trio and then you can pick up together an available adventure for novice or low level adventurers that you all fancy.

No, the timeframes always move forward (you can find them at the end of the RTJ thread), at most we can have contamporary adventures :D
However, nothing prevents you from having two characters playing in two different adventures ;)

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Opposed roll: you roll 2d6 + SKILL + Weapon Special Skill + potential bonuses / penalties.
Then your opponent does the same and the highest score hits.
Chances are that Rubrik had SKILL 7 + Axe Special Skill 2 = 9 ;)
Don't worry, I went to double check your original results on the dice roller, as it is normal messing it up a bit at the first proper fight.

Since these seem to be separate adventures that can be played at any time, can I keep Drokhil, and have him be in two adventures at once?  I would take Hrava up on the offer but do not want to make another character as he would more or less be the same as Drokhil.

No, you need to create two characters, otherwise if one character dies in an adventure (it can happen, be aware of this...), s/he can still be alive in another, which doesn't make sense.

It says it in the game info as well, being short and independent adventures completed in a short time. I also believe (don't quote me on this though) it says it in the pdf of AFF as well :3

Now that A night out under the stars is over and the associated characters will be feed of their "duties", you may want to start looking at other potential games for the future and potentially discuss with other players about changing "groups", so you don't adventure always with the same companions...

If you don't like any of the adventures proposed, please let me know, as I may add a few and/or change what is there.

Please note that I opened a new adventure (The Inn between the Worlds, group B). It is slightly different from the ther adventures that I run insofar, mainly because it is longer and more complex. It is originally NOT thought as an one-off, like the others.
Please consider this when you apply, as the usual commitment to finish whatever adventure that you start while making at least one post a day stays!

I am going to do some cutting back on the games I am in.

So I am going to bow out of this game for now.

Partly to work on the game I am GMing myself.

Partly to work on the major project I have been working on for over 6 years.

Which if it works out, will mean selling the game I have invented world wide.

Anyway thank you all for the  fun I have had.  Specially thanks to the GM for all his/her hard work.

For the Inn Between the Worlds, if you have to choose, it would be better that you pick your character that took part to The ComeBack Inn as it could be considered a follow up of that adventure.

Now we have two characters for each of the two adventures and the minimum amount is three.
Grumdar during his last adventure had some kind of... issue with a noble house, so he won't be suitable for The Inn between the Worlds. Are you OK to join Swamp Flies?

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Greetings all.

I've just joined. Known as "Bifford" around and about I've roleplayed many years and did play some AFF way back (almost 20 years now I guess).

If you have Stellar Adventures and Titan Herbal you'll maybe recognise me as the proofreader. I've also done that on many of Arion Game's other books!

Anyway, enough about me.

I'm going to knock up a Dwarf called Thraka. Any clues as to what the group as a whole is missing, and which quests are open for a novice player? I see there are two listed in the closed thread, but are there other options not in there?

Hello Thraka, I suggest you put together the character that you like best, as the adventures are relatively short (forw weeks or months) and then you will probably become part of a different group for your next adventure.
Right now Hrava and Stormrider are waiting for somebody to join them and start a new adventure. It looks like they may be your companion for your first adventure in Blackmoor, so you may want to choose your next adventure together ;)

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Okay, I've worked through your character generation rules.

I have a few questions:

1. Your version of things pulls starting characters back quite dramatically on starting Special Skills and languages compared to the main rulebook (1x two point and 2x one point compared to 3x two point SS and 6x one point). EG, to know Dwarfish I need to use one of my two 1 point SS. Is there a reason for that? I don't mind that this is what you've chosen, I'd just like to work out where your GM head is at regarding the choice.

2. You havn't mentioned if we get the core books' racial talents (eg my Dwarf and Dark Seeing) or racial Special Skills (Underground Lore and Crafting + Dwarfish). Can you confirm if I do/don't please.

3.
quote:
"You start the game with ONE weapon of your choice, appropriate for your character and related Special Skills"
  I've gone for a magic user and no combat SS. Does this mean I can't take a weapon (he wants a quarterstaff) and should just write down the Unarmed stats, or can I have unarmed and a quarterstaff?

4. Can I use a shield (I have the 6 normal skill) without it affecting my magic? I know armour would do....but what about a shield?

5. Should I be spending some of my 50gp starting coin now?

6. I've chosen to have a Focus - a 2" copper and Azure disc which "slots into" an embedded special holder surgically place into my left breast/clavical area (so above the breast between shoulder and neck area). Any objections to that?

I've put what I've made so far into the charsheet.

Thanks! :D

Thraka:
Okay, I've worked through your character generation rules.

I have a few questions:

Let's see if I can help!

Thraka:
1. Your version of things pulls starting characters back quite dramatically on starting Special Skills and languages compared to the main rulebook (1x two point and 2x one point compared to 3x two point SS and 6x one point). EG, to know Dwarfish I need to use one of my two 1 point SS. Is there a reason for that? I don't mind that this is what you've chosen, I'd just like to work out where your GM head is at regarding the choice.

The reason for reducing quite dramatically the number of initial Special Skill is to keep character generation simpler.
quote:
Languages: all civilized beings in Blackmoor speak the same common language (Thonian) and they get this Special Skill "for free" at (4) on top of the others (you don't even need to add it to the character sheet as it is implicit for everybody), but other intelligent races (such as Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Docrae, Gnomes, etc.) have a unique language as well (half races, such as half-elves or half-orcs of course don't have a specific language but can choose Elvish or Orcish etc.) and this can be chosen instead of a Special Skill at (1). Peshwah, Skandaharians and Afridhi have their own languages, but if they hail from Blackmoor their "standard" language is the common (Thonian) and, if they want to speak also their specific languages they have to aquire the associated Special Skill. It is recommended that Elves choose Elvish language, Gnomes choose Gnomish language etc. but it is not mandatory and this can be justified in the character background.

The reason for simplifying the languages as well is that the common language covers by far the vast majority of gaming situations in Blackmoor. Racial languages are used very seldom.

Thraka:
2. You havn't mentioned if we get the core books' racial talents (eg my Dwarf and Dark Seeing) or racial Special Skills (Underground Lore and Crafting + Dwarfish). Can you confirm if I do/don't please.

No, character creation is as it is described, that is a simplified version of official AFF2. However, there are some Special Skills and Talents that are limited to specific races and, for example, Dark Seeing can't be chosen by a Human, while the Talent Lucky can be chosen only by Humans.

Thraka:
3.

A quarterstaff is an appropriate weapon for a magic user.

Thraka:

Shields are considered as armour.

Thraka:
5. Should I be spending some of my 50gp starting coin now?

In general no, as that is the amount of gold that your village gives you as you leave the village. In general you will see that most adventures allow doing some purchases near the beginning. If you have a specific request for a specific object that you want to buy, you can contact me with a private message.

Thraka:
6. I've chosen to have a Focus - a 2" copper and Azure disc which "slots into" an embedded special holder surgically place into my left breast/clavical area (so above the breast between shoulder and neck area). Any objections to that?

The only partial objection is that all Foci in Blackmoor must be a gemstone or at least include a gemstone, so you need to somehow attach a gemstone to the disc. That's because the power of Foci comes from "the land" and gemstones more so.
That's a very unique arrangement, anyway, and the knowledge of doing that doesn't come from your master, but rather from a strange idea of yours and your master simply told you were crazy but didn't provide any explanation why you shouldn't do it, so you carried on.

Digging deeper p72 of the core doesn't list it as modifying the spell casting. Leather Cuirass and upwards does. So I'll take a small shield, one which sits over his forearm and doesn't impede his staff usage or other such actions.

I'm very open to second characters for active players. Just contact me with a private message and let me know what name you want for your new character.
Having multiple characters softens a bit the blow when your character dies during the adventure, and you came extremely close to that, recently. Death happens ;)

How much downtime between the two Redwood adventures is there? Are we heading back to town between them, or going to our original destination village and pausing there awhile?

GM - can you explain the calender system in AFF please because you used specific time-spans with regards training the puppies. Thanks!

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
See the bit about living "out of the limelight" in this thread first: link to a message in this game

Every adventure takes a fixed time (a tenday), whether or not the "live" adventure time is tendays or not. The extra time is for your travelling, healing, training etc. This ensures that all adventures are on the same timeframes and you can move easily from one adventure to the next.
Of course, during the extra time you have to pay for your upkeep etc. depending on your social scale (as explained in the above mentioned thread), and the more you advance, the more the social status is important.

If you want to improve your character between one adventure and the following adventure, it will take some training time, i.e. one or more tendays where you pass your time training instead of adventuring.
Of course, you are not forced to take two adventures on subsequent tendays, even if you have no training etc. In this case, you will just relax and let some time pass.
As some of you have puppies to grow, you may want to let this time pass and wait until they grow up, for example.

If you check out the last adventure you took part to, you will see that it has start and end dates that can be taken as a reference. Of course your nect adventure will start at least after the end date of your last one.

The Redwood Scar Group 5, status: ready to be started
quote:
A new terror has risen deep in the forest, making the powerful elves tremble in fear within the borders of their own forest kingdom. A group of hardy adventurers must find and quell this evil power before its shadow covers the once mighty Redwood Forest!

This is an adventure for low-experience adventurers, to be run as a follow up to Redwood distractions - it is warmly suggested to have at least one of the characters that went through Redwood distractions in the group.
Characters involved: Andor, Kiran, Stormrider... up to two more places available!...

So I would want to spend one tenday period in training my new pup. No point taking a brand new one out - it would get trampled and killed, and/or I'd have to carry it everywhere.

So yeah, Thraka wants to hold back at least one tenday. If that means he misses out on ptB of the Redwood adventure because the others want to crack on then so be it.


Can I also train at the same time?

You can train at the same time your pup grows up, sure.
I think that most of your colleagues want to spend some XPs to improve their characteristics as well.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Hello,
in the adventure The Inn between the Worlds we have three characters, Galendra, Mavro, Badwin deLongar, all of them coming from a different world from the world where Blackmoor is.
The problem is that the players of Galendra (more a warrior type) and Mavro (more a rogue type) have not been posting for a long time and now I don't think they will ever post again.
Is there anybody willing to pick these characters up?
In alternative you could prepare new characters (from a different world), but I think that, for game continuity, it would be better if somebody takes the mantle of Galendra and Mavro.
If you want to discuss more in detail, you can send me a private message, so we don't spoiler too much.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Today is the first of October, Dave Arneson Day!
We started playing this campaign exactly one year ago (and it was meant to be a quick, one-off game)!

On this occasion, Chimerae Hobby Group published for free download the Blackmoor Living World campaign guide http://www.chimerae.it/download/CHBLW0en.zip and The Shard of Anathema an introductory adventure http://www.chimerae.it/download/CHBLWN1en.zip
As you can see, the campaign guide takes a lot from the experience of this game and, in practice, you can use it as our ruleset, with the minor detail that we started playing on the year 1030 and not on the 1035 as proposed in the pubication...

Eventually your companions decided to wait until the puppies are fully grown (6 tendays), so you can join, if you want.



quote:
OOC: Raising your ebony cumasti puppy to a young mature dog takes six tendays and during this time the puppy needs to be taken care under all points of view (it won't defend itself, feed on its own, etc.)
Once the puppy will reach young maturity, it will use the following statistics:
SKILL 5
STAMINA 5
Specia Skills: Sneaking (3) (in forest), Awareness (2), Hunting (1) (in forest)
Talents: Fleet Footed, Combat Reactions, Survivor

Cumasti dogs are very loyal and protective of their masters. These dogs are known for their speed. There fur is the brown/black of the forest which helps them blend in with their forest surroundings.
A young mature Cumasti dog is strong enough to drag the body of one Elf or a light man on forest grounds.
Once a Cumasti dog reaches full size at full maturity, at five years of age, it can carry a light rider (Elf or light man) and it can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider can not also attack unless he or she succeeds on a Ride check.
You can use some animal training special skill to teach a cumasti dog to follow simple orders (sit, jump, roll, bark...) after three tendays and after it reaches young maturity you can teach more complex orders (follow, hunt, bring back...) one order every tenday, requiring a successful Special Skill roll for simple order and with a -2 for more complex orders.
Orders that are properly linked to fighting and riding require more difficult rolls, longer times and, above all, the age of full maturity.



So "You can use some animal training special skill to teach...." I have no animal special skill. Do I need to buy that SS or is it just not possible for me to have trained her at all while it's been growing to young mature status??

Getting a new SS costs 20xp and a teacher with 3 points in that SS.
Would I need to learn the Animal Lore SS? Could I assume there would be someone to teach me that SS?


Then, after 3 of the 6 tendays between adventures I can teach Elhana one of the basic commands of sit, jump, roll, bark etc with a dice roll OOC; and after the second set of 3 of 6 tendays she can know a second with a successful roll.  In other words, if I take Animal Lore I can roll twice here and on two successes Elhana will know two basic commands.

And now, in game, I can spend time (either 1x tenday or 3x tendays) training Elhana to know basic or complex commands. Right?

In general it sounds to me all right. However, you may want to pay a trainer to teach your growing puppy a simple command during the time available between when you picked her up and when you start the adventure.
As usual, basic training is a tenday and 10 gps (but this way you won't get animal lore and the teacher can always fail and you will lose the money).

Dumb question, but Rudjam did survive, didn’t he?  If so, I should run him again. (My sheet has him down to 2 stamina.)

In reply to Rudjam (msg # 323):

As Bran and Tin are novice adventurers, I suggest you pick a low level adventure and go with it. You don't need to go for a novice adventure.
If you want to play also with your other character at the same time, I suggest going for a solo adventure and I previously run Innuendo as a solo adventure (with quite a bit of investigation) with good satisfaction, so I'd recommend that.

I just realized that Rudjam’s skill is marked down a point.  Is there still a reason for this, or has he recovered?

Also, I was wondering if you’d let me purchase Brawling as a special skill... I’m obviously going to need it.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Yes, quite a few NPCs come from players that left the game, but not all, as at the beginning, when I thought I'd run just a one-off adventure, maybe two, I used to create the NPCs and I puppet mastered them, then, when I realized the number of adventures was growing and the number of NPCs was becoming too big, I switched to letting NPCs speak under The Director character.

Feanor and Stormrider, along with (hopefully) Raana Whisperwind are preparing to embark on The Floating Dungeon of Varrak Aslur. If any adventurers would like to join a wizard-priest and two dual-wielding warrior-types there is room for more!

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
So as for picking adventures what does 'low experience' actually mean?
I guess with a character already having completed 3 adventures it might be somewhat boring to do a novice game, but what about those low-level... what kind of XP does low-level assume?

Indicatively, you are a low experienced adventurer between 1 and 300 XP.

Ok, so: who is up for Mere Flights and who is rather for The Floating Dungeon of Varrak Aslur? If we have enough characters willing to start, we could start them both at the same time, other wise better focussing on one at the time.

Dolgan, I wouldn't overly worry about the experience tags. The difference between our two characters is extremely small, given what you can buy with 1, 2 or even 3 adventure's worth of xp.

Well, Skill 8 instead of 7, and Weapon 3 instead of 2... that's 190xp. Maybe more importantly: equipment, maybe even magic items.
Then again, if the others in the group are advanced enough.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
The Floating Dungeon is already ongoing, but there are many other options to choose from. Just post your interest on a specific adventure and let's see how many other characters will follow you. For example, I remember that Andor was looking forward to play Mere Flights.

For use of the XPs you earnt (and time required to improve your characteristics) please refer to the main ruleset thread in group 0, while for buying some objects, just remember that you ended up your adventure in a town and you can of course go to the market by posting in the IC thread, mention what you are interested to buy and then, if you are OK with the price, you can buy it!

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
I am sorry to say that my RL has gone south darn hard and I hardly can do anything at all anymore on RPoL.
From the start the group I played with was somewhat erratic in posting rates, or maybe it was just my own expectation. Either way, I found it a bit hard to get into the flow of the story. A dungeon crawl is dependent on some sort of map, I think, and I did not really find the time to do one for myself to not lose orientation. Which in turn required reading back quite some which was a bit more "effort" than I expected. Again this is my own failed assessment and not anything I mean to complain about or anything since there is nothign to complain about except my own shortcomings regarding this game.
Anyway, I have not able to contribute for more than a month now and that is definitely not the standard I rate myself by. Problem is: my private situation is not going to change in the foreseeable future so I have to admit defeat and bow out.
I sincerely apologize to Feanor and Stormrider for letting them down and even more so to the GM for not being able to meet hius requirements about posting rates etc.

Have fun everybody and thanks for your time.

Jan, as Storm has completed several quests, either himself or with another of his characters, we may have to select one from the 'yet to be started' group of quests down the bottom of the list. I am pretty easy on choices, just look for ones that are for novice-low level adventurers :). I don't mind short or long, there are a couple that look interesting...

Beyond the Towers
Gates of Stormkiller
Tales from the Old Land.


…..but there are several other interesting sounding ones :)

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
today I came across one of the bad things that life can throw at you and I think I will have to stop posting for a while, until things do improve at least a bit.
Apologies for the sudden announcement, but this was very sudden for me as well, unfortunately.

Hey, all.

I just joined the group and the DM said I should post here to see if anyone else is looking to join a new adventure. I play a lot of tabletop games (I've played a lot of D&D5e and currently play a lot of Dungeon World and Urban Shadows), but I have never played Advanced Fighting Fantasy.

My favorite kind of games are very character and roleplay centric. I love to build characters, hear about other people's characters, and develop interesting in game relationships between them.

Problems arise for a small town on the edge of the Redwoods. Are you big enough to help the little people in need? Especially, when the request comes from the tavern keeper whose Inn you woke up in. But weren't you just camping out under the stars last night?

Swamp Flies status: to be started! This game was run once, but can be run again for another group.

The buzz in the village of Boggy Bottom is that folks have gone missing. Can you squash these rumors or determine where the missing have flown off to?

This is an adventure for low-experience adventurers, introducing the Great Dismal Swamp.

The Inn of Lost Hope status: to be started! This game was run once, but can be run again for another group.

People say that this inn once was very popular and visited by the most important adventurers of Blackmoor. Now it is abandoned and it is said to be haunted... but full of riches!

Have you decided what adventure path you'd like to follow, or which group you'll be heading out with??

We're just wrapping ours up, battered and bruised, and will be heading back to civilisation very soon.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
The Gates of Stormkiller is officially over! Tales of the Old Lands is almost there as well. This will release quite a few characters for new adventures.
Swamp Flies will start very soon, so there will be a quick opportunity to start a new adventure for that characters. Once Swamp Flies will start, the other characters that didn't take part to that adventure, will have the chance of starting another one as well.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
We just reached the 9,000th post milestone, just a few weeks before the Dave Arneson's Day, that is the starting day of this campaign as well....
Just to keep it simple, we can make some considerations now about the number of posts year by year:
First year: 2,500 posts
Second year: 3,000 posts
Third year: 3,500 posts
This year we are close to an average of ten posts per day (every day...), that I think is more or less my personal limit, so maybe next year the number of posts can grow a bit more, but I don't think it will grow much more, unless somebody else steps in and helps me running the campaign, which would be nice!

There is room for a couple of other characters in Beyond the Towers, so I will wait a little bit before starting...

This is "Group U", which is the last group open for players (they start with the numbers from 1 to 9, then they continue with the letters of the alphabet... I will move some adventure that was played by people no longer around to the infamous "group Z", that is reserved to the GM and I will free more options for new games that way...
It is a momentous time, for this campaign: for the first time we need to make room for new "groups"!

That would be possible, but that adventure is for mid-experienced characters with social status at least at 4.
If you don't have enough characters for that level of play, maybe you can start from its prequel, that is The Shard of Anathema and is suitable for novice characters...

If you are a long term player on RPoL, and you are not doing that already, you may want to consider giving some donation to cover the server costs of RPoL: link to a message in another game
It is good, once in a while, to remind ourselves that, while RPoL is free to play, it has some server costs to cover...

I done some funny things with my characters.

But I never had elf that damaged a goblin only to turn round and heal it.

So if the GM can find a way for us to meet without Moondale trying to put a few arrows in you (which would be his normal reaction) then sure I happy to join you.

I'm sure I can find some way to introduce both to an adventure suitably. Another adventure just ended, so I'm expecting other characters to join you as well.
As a guideline, the group adventures of this campaign are for three to five characters, but during the years I made some exception and I may make more.

If that is ok with you Atra.  We can start the game with us going to wrong inn.
As it in city then Moondale and Atra would not attack each other out of respect for law.

Could do with 2-3 more player I think to be on the safe side...

How does it sound?
I'll think about it tomorrow during the day and then I'll write down my thoughts here, to get your feedback.

This might be tough for me, because I don’t really consider myself a contemporary gamer.  I’m an old school kind of guy and I know little about today’s scene, except for playing here and on Roll20.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
The recurrence of the 1st October is an opportunity to look back at the past of this living campaign and do some statistics. The most obvious count is the posts count:

First year: 2,500 posts
Second year: 3,000 posts
Third year: 3,800 posts
Fourth year: 2,800 posts

Total posts: 12,100 !!!

Between the 1st October 2020 and the 1st October 2021 there were 2,800 posts, that are slightly below average, but still a great number, especially during a difficult year for many people (of course including myself).
Hopefully the future will motivate more people to have fun and role-play :)
Another factor to consider is that perhaps "simple" websites like RPoL are becoming a bit less fashionable for RPG support and it appears that there are less gamers available.

What do you think?

RPOL has a place, and it may not be for everyone. I use Roll 20, and hope to get back to SATT roleplaying as well, but I was using RPOL for different reasons, which still apply,so I don't think RPOL is in danger, its just with more options, some people find a better fit elsewhere

I like RPOL because it's asynchronous -- I'm able to fit in gaming among work, family, and community activities -- and because it has a decent OSR community. It's faster than play by mail, but doesn't require blocking several hours of time. Glad y'all are here!

 The games are slower on here but on the plus side I get exposure to a worldwide player base that I don't get access to at home very easily. And that helped me reach out to other players at a time when it was very hard for me to do so.

Under my point of view, I love how RPoL manages the groups (which allows me to run multiple, separate adventures happening all at the same time, with different groups of characters, within the same campaign. I make use of these features a lot, when running this campaign.

I really like this website's settings like you have normal and mature and adult. And then of course you have the group settings I think a through z and I think there's numbers as well. And of course you can interject as momentary non-player characters or actually make little profiles which is cute.

So right now he is technically unarmored. Does that mean he takes the full damage then? Or does he like make some sort of Dodge roll or does that require a talent? I'm just feeling all my options as this is the first time he's taking direct weapon damage rather than like something environmental.

In Blackmoor City at this point in time you can buy a leather hauberk for 25gp and sell a second-hand leather cuirass for 15gp - are you sure you can wear your new armour with no problem? Please double check in the "read me first" thread.

Yep - checked already to make sure. My cuirass has served me well but I'd prefer something with a bit more regular protection.

This means rather than frequently rolling 5s and 6s for armour rolls, the RNG god's will offer me regular 1s from now on. Such is life!!

10gold after buying and selling?? That's great

Will finalise training too when I'm next online

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
The 1st of October is the perfect time for me to review how the Blackmoor Living World campaign is doing (as it started on the 1st of October) and of course the number of posts in the various adventures that are part of the campaign is an important indicator that is easy to track in time.
This is the current situation:

First year: 2,500 posts
Second year: 3,000 posts
Third year: 3,800 posts
Fourth year: 2,800 posts
Sixth year: 1,900 posts

Total: about 14,000 posts

Obviously last year was the year with the least posts so far, so I will have to make some good consideration.
What are your thoughts and comments?

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
You would need to consider a few other factors such as number of players - recruitment versus fallout, and whether these were regular or occasional posting players.

Other main factor is always real life and illness especially. Last year we were all still recovering from COVID19 and in my profession we've got a huge amount of extra work to do to make up the time we all lost. So I have less time available on a night to engage with my hobbies, and I'm not alone with this.

So instead of three times a week I'm posting twice, but the posting rate of other players who I'd normally bounce off has fallen too. So before you'd get me and another player or two with multiple posts in a day a couple of times a week then a "this is our action" declaration message, it's taking us a couple of weeks to get through the bouncing ideas and chatting stage of the posts. So it's taking us twice as long to do anything, which in turn creates player lethargy and they drop out or fade from the game as a consequence meaning it's harder for the remaining players to get to the declaration posts as they're waiting on another character to act or speak.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
I just realized I might have been rolling my skill checks incorrectly. Although I believe I succeeded on both of those roles because I think you're supposed to roll a 2d6 and try to get at her underneath your skill total. Which in this case is my magic plus one for both magic lore and second sight. And that total is nine and I think the first one was way under like out of five and I think the second one just barely makes it at like an 8 or something.

IC or OOC? IC - character description is there for all to see. A novice elf keen to see the world, right it's wrongs (or some of them at least), enjoy good company and try to find the humour in all things.

That might apply IRL also, apart from the 'novice' bit - I am no longer young, even in the reckoning of men, as some old hack once said.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Ah, no problem. I'm a longtime gamer (40+ years), started on 1st edition AD&D and it was love at first sight! I've been on RPOL since 2009 and play in a handful of games, some of which are still going from before my time here (many others have come and gone). I had a few Fighting Fantasy books back in the day (Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Citadel of Fire) but they appear to have been lost in the mists of time, unlike everything else I've collected in my long gaming career.

I'm something of a history buff as far as D&D goes, and I have some (though far from extensive) knowledge of Blackmoor and Dave Arneson's campaign, though I've never gamed in it - this should prove an enlightening experience for player and character both!

Vanomir follows the classic D&D elven trope - part warrior, part wizard (and perhaps not particularly adept at either). Magic - Wizardry is my magic game, singing clearly not.

These are all adventures that already run several times... how about picking some new or almost new? You can find them at the bottom of this thread: link to a message in this game and if you still would like something else from that list of possible future adventures, I will propose something else.

Unfortunately I just read that the real life player that was behind the character Jallapierre (a powerful wizard, known for his kindness) in the original Blackmoor campaign (i.e. James Laferriere) has recently passed away.
Some of you actually came across Jallapierre as I used him as a NPC in some adventure.



RIP

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
Basics for you:

Melee:
Both combatants roll 2d6 and add skill (modifiers can apply). Whoever has highest roll hits opponent.
Winner rolls d6 and compares to their damage chart for that weapon. That's how many Stamina are lost due to damage.
Loser rolls d6 to see if armour (if any) reduces this damage, and checks against their armour chart.

Missile:
Attacker rolls 2d6 and adds skill. 15 or more to hit (modifiers can apply).
Same as above for damage / armour rolls.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
RECRUITMENT DRIVE
**********"""""""
Are you looking to group up with other like-minded souls seeking an adventurous path and, hopefully, some long-lost treasure as reward??

A group of us have just returned from the Dismal Swamp with a wad of gold, some interesting scars and a healthy respect for large, flesh eating toads.

We've also lost our specialist for a while as she recovers from a number of long-term injuries and turns her attention to more honest and less dangerous endeavours for the duration.

We're looking to head out on our next adventure soon, be that back to the swamp to finish what we've started or onto paths less slimy and foul smelling but equally financially rewarding.

Interested?? Come join us!!


A group of five seek like-minded, capable adventurers of all types to venture with them. Where we're going we are yet to decide (and will be doing so here quite soon), and we have room for experienced and inexperienced alike.

Preference would go to healers, mages and treasure hunters with skills some would deem undesirable or anti-social, but we're willing to talk with anyone who wishes to join us. They let me join them so they're really accommodating!!

Just pop along to the inn and you'll probably find one of us there (propping up the bar most likely). And if there's a rumour or treasure map you want help investigating, or have a beast you want help to vanquish, we're happy to consider the request!!

After the last one, am happy for a short one (to get Willow up to speed, and as a quick money and reputation maker).

Have a look through the adventures Willow and see if any take your fancy.

Also, welcome to the team.

Re: "Group 0" OOC Chat and RTJ Specific Adventures
DM a question about my cottage. If I stay in my cottage for a tenday, does that reduce the amount I'd normally have to pay (40g) to maintain social class 4?

Because if not then for now I think I'll rent it out and earn a 5 net gold / month profit. Just something that can slowly accumulate until I'm ready to upgrade my investment or buy a new one.

In reply to Rennias Greystone (msg # 951):

To maintain your social status you have to have a lifestyle aligned to a certain value. If your cottage would provide the same value (for example renting it out), then no problem! Otherwise, you can pay the difference.

My only doubt is that I don't remember you buying a cottage! When did you buy it?

No, there are multiple adventures happening at the same time in this campaign, with multiple groups playing in different part of the world. While you are playing an adventure, another group may have finished their adventure and may be looking for new recruits to go into some other adventure.

If Rennias is willing to have me along, I'd quest with him again.

And Mere Flights sounds as good as any. We need to return to the Swamp to figure out what's happening with the creature that escaped our clutches the last time we were there... See if there's anything we can do to hunt it down and stop it from creating more of its spawn.

As Rennias said, always welcome. And being non-aggressive is fine. That's why we have Graden and Rudjam - they're both willing and able to resolve any conflict quickly. I've been known to get involved from time to time, even our combat lightweight Rennias gets stuck in at times... Though his style is more (magical) pushing and shoving than slicing and dicing!!

Rennias has fire bolts When needed, but prefers to facilitate the others so uses push to debuff enemy attack rolls. He has iron hand where he can buff skill ratings for hard fights. I am looking to get more debuffs and buffs over time.

It's all good, my friend. Any help and assistance (from magical pushes to handbags and slaps) is all good.

Plus, don't you have a bow you've been successful with so far?? I know we don't have much time to train, but if you need a hand with practice and training that skill I know someone with a hunting lodge and a little skill himself, so plenty of space to do just that...

Seriously though, if we need extra time to train now's the time to ask - especially if we can get a reduction to our daily cost of living!!

I have so many skills I want to improve I may have to not go on an adventure or two in order to develop how I need to!!

Don't think dispute is the word... Undersubscribed, possibly, even one sided (I posted them nobody else did).

Perhaps if posts are made privately to prevent a repeat, and more time is given?? I understand that a timescale is necessary, but since we're all still taking holidays, etc, would it be worth posting the task sooner to give more time?? Or .make it less about a personal question and more a creative writing exercise to encourage all players to post??

For example, write a short quest involving your existing character, displaying features skills and abilities you would aim to acquire with the reward from the writing competition...

Said that, I'd like to collect some inputs on making it relevant (and hopefully more attractive) for this year.
Ultimately, this campaign is a tribute to Dave Arneson, so for me this little exercise is an important part of the campaign. I'd like to do it as best as I can, with your suggestions :)

Sure. Dave Arneson's Day Essay Competition (2022) can be found here: link to a message in this game and Dave Arneson's Day essay competition (2021) is here: link to a message in this game
In practice, as this campaign is a tribute to Dave Arneson and to his Blackmoor campaign (the first fantasy campaign), the competition is about writing an essay on a related topic (to be decided) in exchange for a prize consisting of Experience Points for your characters.
This year I'm still undecided about the topic and I'm open for suggestions :)
