Iren's Play-by-post fantasy games - General Discussion thread

This is not this kind of game. It's a party-based RPG.

Sure but I am microing him right now.

There are no solo missions, you have to act together.

Just to be clear, I'm not actually going on a mission, I'll just go stab the priest and be right back.

Stop acting ********.

If the GM has half a brain then he'll just say that the door's locked with magic and I can't get in, no need to chimp out like the black goy you are.

Humbaba, I have liked your playing so far, so please understand that I want you to keep playing.
You have to understand that this is a party-based RPG, where the group discuss the missions/quests they are taking and act together in cooperation to finish them. Eventually I might allow players to branch out in solo missions but the time has not arrived yet since we barely started playing.
Ok? Can you do that? Is that fun enough for you to keep playing?

[Irenaeus]

Dear players,
Enjoy this turn to roleplay at the Inn and use it to capstone the Prologue.
I'll post a new thread for the next in-game morning called Chapter 1. In it, there will be opportunity to conduct business in town and then a series of new quests will present themselves for the party to choose from.

I'll be calculating the XP gained with the quest to start keeping count for leveling up the adventurers. I'll also update the items used to keep track of equipment of the PCs.

[logincrash]

There should be a Google Docs spreadsheet or something with all the pertinent info like those tables with AC and HP that you dropped at the start of the first fight. You could track and change HP in there for all to see.

If that's the way it's gonna be then that's completely fine, I'm no mongoloid. I'll go edit my post then and postpone the stabbing until further notice.

Olwin is changing name so often I am starting to think it is on purpose XD

What does it mean? Did I misspell his name many times? I need to proofread last night posts, there's bound to be many errors

[Lord of Riva]

@Irenaeus I wont be able to manage playing this weekend, please be so kind and let Wolfgang join the entourage if they go dungeon crawling and help them fight.

No not you do not worry There are some things I noticed in your writing at times (like one time I recall a word being something like "they go to the house where (name1) is waiting, they go to the house where (name1) and (name2) are waiting" and similar), but they are quite alright, I love your writing style

As for Olwin himself, unless I am missing something (though Norman did ask him if he built the inn, so I assume it is Olwin he is referring to), both Norman and Hrod called Olwin "Ostwin", and before he was George as well XD
Though I find it amusing, I think it also adds to the story if left in as Olwin was just met and it happens that names are misremembered, especially as the introductions were so close after surviving such a fight (to not speak of the adrenaline the possible fire brought on).

I deliberately checked back to see if I got the name wrong the first time I wrote it and intentionally kept it misspelt.

Thanks to your post I now have to double check every time I am about to write his name as I now assume that is his name because I like that it sounds like Hostwin (innkeeper, though Brenna is the one technically) to me, I love it XD

I just looked it up and apparently it's a Welsh female name... Ooops!

I go on a "how does it sound" basis, and Olwin with that dark green and of the profession (though retired) of ranger sounded well to me though I am not a player

Update: Yesterday I crashed out and couldn't write on Chapter 1. Resuming work today.

[logincrash]

Very comfy reading. Kudos to you, @Irenaeus.

[Humbaba]

Now we need the Dumb ***** Podcast to do a recap of the prologue.

[Irenaeus]

THANKS, adventurers and readers!
Now that I have posted the end of the Prologue, I will be focusing in finishing the introduction to Chapter 1, bringing new adventures and quests and including the last decisions for actions you posted on the game thread.

[Irenaeus]

@Lord of Riva I havent forgotten about you! With no post of yours to through, I edited in, just now, a paragraph about Walfgang's thoughts and comments in the end of the prologue.

[DemoGraph]

It has been a whole day without the update. Crack must flow!
