[DnD] D&D Discussion & Enlistment (Save Ends)

But if you're desperate, I'll happily step in as a DM, you guys can trust me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh no, if I was playing the part of the omnipotent dungeon keeper, interesting shit would happen without you opening any doors.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Six players, woohoo! You're almost up to full Fellowship strength now. You just need wvlf to play a grumpy dwarf and four people to join as non-combatant halflings.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Like he's going to let you get your hands on enough money to actually buy all the optimisation gear you're hankering after.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You guys need a new name for your team. G-Unit's a bit redundant now most of your names don't start with G any more (Plus the sinister rape robot has left).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'd join Garr. Hanging out with Zerg is a nasty death waiting to happen.

FELIPE NO

That character builder thing is quite fun, hurry up and kill seven people so I can join in again.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I don't see why Glenn can't take charge. He could easily turn out to be the shadowy Machiavellian type. Either that or Wvlf's new guy can be the leader, seeing as how he's with de-facto leader Garr at the moment anyway.

Although yetis would be good too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You don't need more story driven stuff, you need to stick together and not spend so long standing around in rooms without opening doors. Unless there are constant things to kill or puzzles to solve or traps to get hurt by, most GFF dnd players seem to lose interest pretty quick. Everyone's charactisation comes from over-long silly posts, not from extended social interactions with the other characters.

The actual dungeon bit of Hargast wasn't that sprawling and we didn't even fight many monsters in that one. Dungeon of Doom was pretty massive and there was only really a brief period of social interaction when we were threatening the Kobolds. Most of the rest was fighting, a touch of puzzling and lots of being silly. Nobody in the current lot has searched for secret doors or treasure for ages and certainly nobody has run off to find more monsters in the middle of a fight for a long, long time.

Also you've still not attacked the party with disease-causing monsters since the rats in the second room of DoD and nothing with kill-everyone-by-standing-near-them auras since the cold zombies on the cliff on the boat trip if memory serves. Maybe if you introduced more rooms with spiked pits and low-hanging chandelliers you might inspire some acrobatics check related hilarity.

Now there's six of them, unless you start introducing more, amusing ways for the team to kill themselves, you'll never manage to murder any of them.

Hey fuck you buddy.

Far better than trying to catch us out with resistant monsters would be to chuck a fucking shit load of things we can murder with ease at us and turn it into a survival battle. How many highly flammable minions can we murder before we go down (Not many probably given our inability to kill more than one thing at once). I'm a little dissapointed you didn't think to attack us with a bunch of goblins riding beasts and chariots so we could have a Mad Max-esque running battle with Ebony jumping from vehicle to vehicle killing people and Ivory trying to steer out of trouble and shoot people's wheels off. Maybe set a battle on thin ice which requires you to move at least six squares a turn to not fall through or something?

I'm going to save up for a Griffon if we survive the day.

You should give Zeph an intelligent weapon that does nothing but make snide comments, inform enemies of his weak points and refuse to hit anything.

Give Zerg a +3 magic blowpipe.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You got bored of that dungeon then Pang?

How ya doing, buddy?

I would put the check boxes on the page with the abilities listed. If it were me, I'd look down my powers list to see what's suitable then want to check to see if I'd used it yet without navigating away.

You might also want to list a "most used" combo or something since as the characters advance levels there's more scope for chaining together attacks (Wait till you see my minotaur build) and it's hard to remember what goes after what sometimes.

He's not wrong, red ones always go faster.

That's a really long and silly way of saying "An average skill check should be an 8+, adjust as you think relevant to what your players are trying to do". Have they always led DMs around by the hand like this? It seems really patronising to suggest that people need a special chart to help them gauge the difficulty of skill challenges but then we do have Zerg here who is a living example of someone who plays the game strictly by the letter of the rules so I guess I answered my own question.

That's an awesome idea Pang. It'll give a lot more people a chance to play, give people a chance to play with different people and to try out different sorts of character. Shoe-horn it in asap!

Rather than an existing guild though you shoul make it like a Suikoden castle. Have the G-Unit recruited by a small boy who never says much and when they get there they find 102 other idiots bumbling about the place. If nothing else it gives you the opportunity for an underlying master-plot that doesn't rely on player characters to keep driving it.

If you were to offer the roles up on something other than a first come first served basis you might get more volunteers. Or if you posted requests when I'm not asleep for example.

I shall hope the turn comes up at an opportune time then!

FELIPE NO

By all means carry on mate, your moves are generally pretty amusing. I imagine I'm not the only one who wouldn't mind a brief attempt to murder off the rest of the party now and then (By accident of course) though so was pointing out that you always doing it doesn't neccessarily need to be the status quo.

Most amazing jew boots

I bet after all this talk of TPKs the fight ends with nobody dead. We've only had one player killed by monsters the whole time we've been playing.

Most amazing jew boots

I'm still betting on zero casualties.
