General Discussions & Shenanigans Thread #01:

This thread is for gaming discussions and anything else you can think of.

Just a reminder to all to get your character sheet updated / finished for this upcoming Sunday the 18th! I see  Nate S.  , is the only one that has not even started to make his character yet!

I think my new character is good providing he does get the 2-3 magic items Nimble was going to give him however the cloak of displacement I am more than happy to let anyone else take if they want it really the only thing he would be lacking is a magic weapon as none of my characters had any that survived the ooze same with magical armor. I do also need to ask what is the starting coin or do you wish me to just roll like i was making a level 1 for the coin?

Basically your starting coin is what you have upon you, found on the Isle of Dread so far or in, Cult of the Reptile God & Drums on Fire Mountain. The 5,000 apiece I might have you wait to get until you are back on the main continent.

Ok, I'm setting up the encounters on the Central Plateau. I wish I had the new book from Goodman, as they really bumped up the set encounters.  I did briefly but sent it back to Amazon because it was dinged up a bit. I wish WotC would get the PDF's of the OAR series out like it was said they were going to do, instead of Goodman games. Maybe the delay is not just because of the good book sales, but also because they are setting up VTT versions. I will work it like the main map of the Isle of dread where I revealed each hex you traveled into and roll for wandering monsters or the set encounter is triggered. Then I will use a Jungle Foliage Map to represent the Location. When that is done I can go back to working on the Forbidden City Map locations. 

I will continue to leave open 2 player slots, as it looks like I may be booting out  Nate S.  , unless he comes to life here!

I will just divide the X8: Drums on Fire Mountain Experience Points between the 4 characters that are coming over to this game. Grand Total Experience Points: 39,025 XP + 64,795 GP + 142,302 Loot + 6,675 Magic Items = 252,797 / 4 = 63,199.25 XP Each

Coal, Quintolos, Ubet & Xilicien all leveled up.

Ricky, Looking at the AC of Sheila and Grax, I think it would be best if he kept the Cloak of Displacement and I will keep the Cloak of Resistance +1. He needs it more than I do, and it balances the party out. He will probably in position to use the displacement properties more than I as well. I already told Ed to go ahead and put it on Grax and I will fix Sheilas Sheet. 

I agreed to it in the PM so I can fix Grax's sheet as well.

OK, Guys!

I haven't changed the sheet yet for Grax got tied up in other things in RL.

Quintolos and Xilicien both need to pick new spells for the spell slots they gained from leveling up! Quintolos: 8th level: cleric 1st: 3 +2  2nd: 3 +2  3rd: 3  4th: 2  / magic-user: 1st: 4  2nd: 3  3rd: 3  4th: 2 Xilicien: 7th level: 1st: 4  2nd: 3  3rd: 2  4th: 1

Here is how it looks so far with the magical items each character has.  Remember this list is in the game as an editable handout: [List Updated 08/21/2019 10:38pm] Coal Blackstone (Ranger): Foeseeker Longbow +1: Will Never Hit an Ally. Quiver of Ehlonna Magical +3 Arrows (15) Bag of Holding (300 lbs capacity weights only 5 lbs) Contents: 2,000 gp mithral chain mail +1 Long Sword +1 / +3 Vs Regenerating Monsters Gloves of Arrow Snaring  Cloak (3 lbs) Boots (4 lbs) of the Formene with Ring of Elvenkind Ring of Free Action Elmfra Darling (Witch): Flying Broom Crystalline Dagger +1 Banrhailorg Staff Clever of Sharpness +1 Ring of Protection +1 Phylactery of Faithfulness Robe of Scintillating Colors Hallucinogenic Potion (1) Paralytic Potion (1) Love Potion (1) Soporific Potion (1) Grak Ironcloak (Fighter / Thief): Leather Armor +2 King Theron's Merthúvial Long Sword +1 Gauntlets of Fencing:  Wearer gets benefits of double specialization with a sword: +3 To hIt & damage. Cloak of Displacement:  Causes wearer to appear from 1 ft to 2 ft from his actual position. Any attack will miss the 1st time, thereafter, it gives +2 to AC. Bearmaster's Belt:  grants the wearer 5 additional hit points. Longstrider Wand:  grants 10 ft more of movement speed Hooded Continual Light Lantern Bag of Holding:  holds 500 lbs or 70 cubic ft but only weighs 15 lbs Maevis Silverleaf: Composite Long Bow +1 Long Sword +1 Red Eoluzim dagger +1 Emissary's Cloak (+2 to Charisma) Blue tinted Tim Amulet with silver chain that gives the wearer +1 on magical saving throws   Tome of the Adept: Blessed Spell Book Quintolos (Cleric / MU): Gaseous Form Scroll Invisibility Scroll Explictica's Bag of Holding : (300 lbs; weighs only 5 lbs)  Elven Chain Mail +2: AC 3 - originally Saphjawx's Large Rectangular Mithral Shield +2 Boots of the Formene:  Navigate Formene like an elf, by following hidden signs Cloak of the Formene:  Provides protection from air quality issues, can breathe underwater due to hood. Ring of Elevenkind : Communicate via telepathy with any intelligent being in line of sight without a language barrier. Also, maintains sense of time. See in complete darkness of the Formene with infravision (60ft). Krootad's Black Flail +1 Red Tinted Eolumzim Quarterstaff +3 Rowan Root (Halfling Guardian): Elessara's Cloak of Resistance +1 Sheila (Cleric): Naniethraril - Wooden Scale Mail +1 : AC 5 fairly Bulky : 20 lbs (10 when worn) ; 90 ft / round Shield, Large +1: Bulky 10 lbs Amulet of Protection +3 Mace +2 Staff of Striking Ring of Invisibility Hooded Continual Light Lantern Heyward's Handy Haversack Current Contents of Haversack:  2 side pouches hold 2 cubic ft or 20 lbs each, central portion holds 8 cubic ft or 80 pounds; weighs only 5 lbs to the wearer. Scrolls (in Haversack): #1: Knock & Levitate #2: Magic Weapon #3: Mage Armor #4: Stone to Flesh #5: Sleep #6: Knock UBET (Cavalier Knight): Cloak of Charisma +2 Xilicien (Magic-User): Geldered's Staff of Healing Umbrella of Free Falling Boots of infiltration Garb of the Charlantan 

Please recall I gave this to someone else that didn't have a magical bag of holding or haversack Grax does not have this. I think I gave it to  Sheila (Cleric). Heywood's Handy Haversack Contents:  2 side pouches hold 2 cubic ft or 20 lbs each, central portion holds 8 cubic ft or 80 pounds; weighs only 5 lbs to the wearer. Scrolls: #1: Knock & Levitate #2: Magic Weapon #3: Mage Armor #4: Stone to Flesh #5: Sleep #6: Knock

Ok, Fixed! It was on the list twice.

Thank you Ricky!

Sheila also has the Mace +2 that I rolled fro from a previous party member and the Staff of Striking from party treasure that no one took. Also, Does Coal and Quintolos have cloak/boots/ring of the Formene?

Ok I added the Mace +2 and Staff of Striking to the List and there is only one set of the cloak/boots/ring of the formene so it's either Coal or Quintolos that has the set. Just need to see what Okey and John W. will pick for their characters.

Matters none to me who gets what.

Bow Users now have a separate whispered sub-menu for their bows To-Hit Rolls for Flight & Sheaf Arrows at PBR (if Specialized), Short, Medium & Long Ranges.

Ricky can you send me the loot list with the XP on it. I seem to have a hard time finding what I am looking for in all of the message threads. Trying to figure out how much gold we got each. Then I need to turn what I have into gems for ease of carrying / storing away, and how much I will be giving to charity.

Ok, yea, you get what you found on tiki-nura-ria for sure, the 5,000 gp I may wait till you get back on the mainland, which could be a long while though. The Loot listing however, should have the Gold / XP value of magical items &amp; gold value of regular items &amp; gems &amp; jewelry. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6561630/party-loot-listing/?pageforid=7018981#post-7018981" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6561630/party-loot-listing/?pageforid=7018981#post-7018981</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6561636/party-treasury-listing" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6561636/party-treasury-listing</a> &nbsp;

Just a Reminder: Quintolos and Xilicien both need to pick new spells for the spell slots they gained from leveling up! Quintolos: 8th level: cleric 1st: 3 +2&nbsp; 2nd: 3 +2&nbsp; 3rd: 3&nbsp; 4th: 2&nbsp; / magic-user: 1st: 4&nbsp; 2nd: 3&nbsp; 3rd: 3&nbsp; 4th: 2 Xilicien: 7th level: 1st: 4&nbsp; 2nd: 3&nbsp; 3rd: 2&nbsp; 4th: 1 John-W. &nbsp;, I will be able to help you get your character made, anytime tonight after dinnertime, so from 7PM ET. So yea, I would like to try and get any new spell macros made &amp; John's character ready. Any new spells are in the Tome of the Adept that Maevis got from the former Bard Altomi, or KalnaKaa &amp; Geldered's spellbooks.

This is the car crash into a house I mentioned we saw on the way to the cousin's house for her kid &amp; step-kid's birthday party: <a href="https://www.wtae.com/article/car-slams-into-house-in-west-mifflin-police-investigate-connection-to-duquesne-shooting/28809786" rel="nofollow">https://www.wtae.com/article/car-slams-into-house-in-west-mifflin-police-investigate-connection-to-duquesne-shooting/28809786</a>

Weekly Game Session Reminder - Sunday, September, 2019 - 8:00 pm EDT - Isle of Dread 4: I1: Dwellers of the Forbidden City Just&nbsp; a Note to remind you all that there is a Live Adventure Gaming Session Tonight starting at 8pm ET - 5pm PT - 1am BT! We pick up after the party goes to visit Captain Malmir to discuss a trip up to the river that leads from the central plateau. As far as we know, Hermit Legend and Roxxifarius are able to play! GreyWolfVT (Ed), is unsure. Okey &amp; Shadowfox (Concert), can not make it. Nick is busy in Philadelphia.&nbsp; We have not heard from Devin as of yet!

Update will be unable to attend tonight.

The game is called tonight! Roxxifarius &amp; I were the only ones in at the start, Hermit Legend Came in around 9pm. I can play the Session Monday at 8pm if you guys want? Or any other day for that matter. Just let me know here!

The next best day for me would be Friday the rest of the week I cant be sure that I can make it or Saturday

Back from the concert. It's midnight now. Sorry I couldn't make it. I can not play during the week unless its Thursday. Wednesdays will open up once golf season is over. Basically its Thursdays and Sundays are my best bet to be able to play every week. With things like this that come up every so often.

We lost&nbsp; Okey &nbsp;, today! No Reason Given. So now there are two player spots open!

Ricky R. said: We lost&nbsp; Okey &nbsp;, today! No Reason Given. So now there are two player spots open! Well that sucks....hope we can find 2 more people.

I have been working on the Thracia city elements which would add 17 more locations, since Thursday. Some of them I will just combine with the black pearl expansion or regular encounters. At least 2 are of types of locations not on the original Forbidden City map. Found out a glitch in a macro for a monster where it should be [[18 - @{target|dexterity}]] instead of @{select|dexterity}.

Just a note that since I will be going to the Steelers vs Seahawks game on September 15th, 2019, there will Not be a game session that day! We are going out for dinner after the game with Seattle Seahawks Assistant Offensive Line Coach Pat Ruel, (There are 27 coaches on Seahawks team). Pat Ruel, is a friend of the Mom's Boyfriend. I was told we will be sitting in a section with all the seahawks' wives. I see the Steelers Play the Patriots, this Sunday night. Should we start an hour / half hour earlier? We are still going to Florida, I just don't know when exactly, it could be later this month.

I would be able to make it an hour earlier if that would help

Doesn't matter to me I'll be watching the Patriots game regardless Ricky.

Doesnt matter to me either, I can do whenever for the most part. I will be at an Airshow Sunday, but I am sure I will be home by 5 or 6 pm Central time.

There is a Akira Kurosawa Movie Marathon Happening now here! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DaikaijuTV/videos/3087155914690898" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/DaikaijuTV/videos/3087155914690898</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DaikaijuTV" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/DaikaijuTV</a>

Well, this is interesting. I am looking over Alex W's Klander the fighter sheet and token buttons &amp; noticed that all of the macros in the DM's Macro Journal that have "Show as Token Action" checked off so the macro appears for everyone, are not displaying. I go look at the previous module to see if the same thing was happening and indeed it was. So some odd glitch unchecked that option on those macros. So Macros like RollAbilityCheck RollFumbleCritHitResult, RollSavingThrows, EmoteSomething, SaySomething, all became unchecked somehow!
