Weekly Game Session Reminder - Saturday, December 7th, 2019 - 10:00 am EDT - 5E: Lost Mines of Phandelver Just  a Note to remind you all that there is a Live Adventure Gaming Session Today starting at 10am ET - 7am PT - 3pm BT! As far as we know,  Hunter C. and Roxxifarius, is able to play and maybe Buddy. We have not heard from anyone else, other than Bootless Bootleg who had to leave the game, as they have not posted anything yet, nor made a new character sheet! A Warning that if you don't post your availability for the game you are likely getting booted, same for if you don't show up Saturday and have not posted why you can not make it! It now also appears I will need to require that you need to make a new character when you first join or after your current character dies within 24 hours of joining or character death or you will get the boot.  I'm just trying to rid of any trolling and freeing up for real players whom are on the ball about things and responsive as well.

A Warning that if you don't post your availability for the game you are likely getting booted, same for if you don't show up Saturday and have not posted why you can not make it!

Ok, the weekly gaming summary has been posted up, and has a little bit more information I have found both on the internet and in the module.

Opps! Ok I have misread the info at location #4 Crypts it should be divided between the six in the party so 25 XP to each of them. Some how I took it as giving 150 each to them. So it's 23 XP in 1E for a 13 HP skeleton, 25 in 5E and 65 in 2E.

Hunter and Zerlan, will be here. We know Roxxifarius and Yoshi, are baking and hosting for the holidays so they will not be here! We have not heard from Buddy or Dramin Stillfest yet! A Warning that if you don't post your availability for the game you are likely getting booted, same for if you don't show up Saturday and have not posted why you can not make it!

Ok, we had to Call Off the Game today as Hunter had to leave almost as soon as he got here and Zerlan was the only one left. We waited until 10:30 am ET and no one else showed up! Buddy and Dramin, why didn't you guys leave us a note at least that you couldn't make it? That way I would have called off the session prior to the game if Hunter and Zerlan decided to wait until next week, being the only two that could get here!

On the plus side that means I did not miss anything, got here as soon as I could

Buddy, had computer issues that he didn't get in until 10:45 am, 15 minutes after Zerlan &amp; I left.

Just had Christmas Eve dinner, which was Italian hot sausage sandwiches with ghost pepper hot sauce on them, Linguine with a garlic, oil and butter sauce, rice balls and a salad with Carolina reaper pepper powder on it!&nbsp; <a href="https://www.justrightspice.com/pepper-blends-15/reaper-15oz-bottle" rel="nofollow">https://www.justrightspice.com/pepper-blends-15/reaper-15oz-bottle</a> Have a Very Merry Christmas Folks!

A Very Merry Christmas day to everybody! I hope you are all enjoying your new Toys!

Buddy asked if there was a game so I guess he will be here as well as, Hunter, Roxxifarius, and Yoshi, will be here. We have not heard from Zerlan or Dramin Stillfest yet! A Warning that if you don't post your availability for the game you are likely getting booted, same for if you don't show up Saturday and have not posted why you can not make it!

Experience Points list is updated.

Maybe I'll roll a 1d10 for gold coins on each one.

Happy New Year 2020 Folks!

Thanks You also

This will be the picture representative of what Glasstaff looks like. Has the glass staff and carrying scrolls:

Hey Now we know what he looks like :) Have to kill him next hehe after these Redbrands and Bugbears :D

Ok, when the Redbrands where playing Knucklebones here is how it is done, using dice or the ankle joints of cloven animals: <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/438813/rules" rel="nofollow">https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/438813/rules</a>

I need everyone to give me the name of the deity their character worships. This will go in as an attribute since there is no spot on the character sheet. This will help me see what god or goddess can come into play and the name is used for spell macros.

For Roqar Its Tymora Goddess of Good Fortune

To show you an example of the expanded Cure Wounds macro, with the deity attribute, here you go: As you can see, it now displays the deity prayed to and whom is being healed.

The Spell Casting macro will now list all of your spells:

Planning on working on that Character Welfest tomorrow, unless the new player is going to take him?

Yea, I was going to let AquaAir, pick him up. I don't think Welfast will be in the party long anyways. When you get back into town, he'll just say, "I've seen enough blood." and go his own way. Then Murtle, will meet the party at the Stonehill inn.

Murtles god is Istishia

The John W. Campbell Jr. "Frozen Hell" book, of which the movies "The Thing" is based on is now available for those of us that didn't get it from the Kickstarter. There is the Anthology book, "Short Things" as a companion piece as well: Check them out here: <a href="http://wildsidepress.com/kickstarter-project/" rel="nofollow">http://wildsidepress.com/kickstarter-project/</a>

Estes Rockets Has their new 2020 Catalog out now! <a href="https://estesrockets.com/catalogs/" rel="nofollow">https://estesrockets.com/catalogs/</a> In Las Vegas we go to the Jean Dry Lake bed to launch them and the Tripoli Vegas Rocketry club launches there as well.&nbsp; Their next Launch meet is February 15th! <a href="http://tripolivegas.com/" rel="nofollow">http://tripolivegas.com/</a> FB: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/tripolivegas/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/tripolivegas/</a>

Hmm, for some reason the macros I have updated to display, your deity and whom was healed got deleted out and reverted back to original macros. I have the deity names for Murtle and Roqar and need them from the rest of you, so please let me know which deity you picked!

When casting spells, cast them from the Core main sheet. Only go to the spells sheet when we need to see any more information about the spell on the spellcard. I found out that by using Cast Spells macro or going to the spells sheet, you will get get just the spellcard information and not the results, as that is where the table look-up string goes and looks. Unless I switch them to display 'Attack', however the information it provides is sparse.&nbsp; This is why I am trying to enhance the displayed information and the only way to do that, so that it displays correctly is to click on the spells from the main sheet in the Attacks and Spellcasting section. If I try to do a table look-up on the Attacks and Spellcasting section you will get the weapons attacks showing as well.

Ok, here are example of how the spell macros will look. You can now use either the spell sheet or the cast spells macro button to use them. You still have to use the spell level box but just click it as is, regardless. I could not find a way to disable it. I now just need to copy / paste into the spell buttons in the core sheet. I just started with Murtle's spells:

I know from past games on roll 20 that to get dice rolls in macros like this, you could type [[1d20+1]] for example thats how I am doing the things for my Tiefling in another game when she gets Hellish Rebuke the crunch is added automatically even says how much damage it does but the dice need to be added manually

I did not have the Thunderwave spell roll damage because I want the damage rolled separately for each individual caught in the spell's range, however other spells that basically target individuals, have the damage rolled in the double brackets. Also, cast the spells either from the Spell sheet or from the cast spells macro which calls the spells from the spell sheet, as it looks better than how they are displayed if you click on them from the Core sheet. Though the core sheet result displays the DC level you need to match/beat.

Watched Episode 1 of the Picard Show&nbsp; "For a limited time" its free to watch on Youtube, guess they are really trying to get people to pay to watch it

I saw, “Rise of Skywalker”, this afternoon with my Mom, at the South Point casino! It was a very good and highly entertaining movie! I still want to believe Kylo is Jacen and Rey is Jaina Solo! I just can’t believe Disney would bitchslap the fans and shit on the EU!

Give me the spoiler :) Who are Rey's parents?&nbsp; Thats what I want to know&nbsp;

You do see them. No names are given. Even Palpatine would not tell Kylo, their names! It could all be a ruse. I do not even think Palpatine is dead as only his Current physical body was &nbsp;destroyed.

I’ll be there but it will have to be my last session because this game no longer fits within my schedule, sorry that I have to quit on you so soon after joining.

Ok, next week, the Las Vegas Tripoli Rocketry club is having it's monthly Launch meet on the 15th. Right, now I am not sure if we are going and at what time...it goes until 5pm. It also depends on the weather and if the Jean Dry lake bed is muddy. It may be possible to at least do a two hour session, if not we just play the following week, then take the week after that off.

Hope you all had a happy Valentines day! Ok, the game session is still on for Saturday the 15th as snoreracing.net bullied the Tripoli Rocketry club off the Jean Dry lake bed. This happened last year as well. This had me writing a note to all the contacts on the snoreracing site and posting to the Tripoli FB page about what needs to be done and that things should be co-ordinated between the two groups, so the rocketry club doesn't keep cancelling their meets. I told Tripoli they need to establish alternate launch sites and make-up days so that a meet-up can always still happen each month.

The game actually had an update done.&nbsp; It was to fix a typo for the handy haversack. Hey, at least they do attempt to fix things!

Experience Points updated. I will need to double check this.&nbsp; Someone else can as well so we can compare. Also, last session game summary is posted up. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7827508/experience-points-earned-listing/?pageforid=7992668#post-7992668" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7827508/experience-points-earned-listing/?pageforid=7992668#post-7992668</a>

Updated the Loot Found List in both the game (A Handout that everyone can edit and update) and in the Loot list thread here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7827518/adventure-party-loot-found-listing/?pageforid=7880534#post-7880534" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7827518/adventure-party-loot-found-listing/?pageforid=7880534#post-7880534</a>

Ok, whom took Lord Knight Aldith Tresendar's (The Black Hawk), &nbsp; Talon Long Sword? Was it Ravoprax? I need to make a separate macro for it unless the current long sword listed is the Talon. In that case I just need to update the macro. I need you guys to go in the game and then, on the Loot list handout, mark whom has which item. Also make sure it's listed on your character sheet. Do this also for whomever is carrying around all the gems/jewelry that is found. Then I will update the Loot list in the thread with the info. The coinage I will add up and divide evenly and mark it on the Treasury (Coinage) List.

I updated the Treasury (Coinage) Listing.&nbsp; It also shows the value of gems and jewelry found but will not include the common or magical items, weapons and armor found, (which will be on the loot listing). <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7827514/adventure-party-treasure-coinage-listing/?pageforid=8030619#post-8030619" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7827514/adventure-party-treasure-coinage-listing/?pageforid=8030619#post-8030619</a>

I need the players that have not picked a deity, to please do so. So far only Murtle and Roqar have done so. &nbsp;Bart, you can take over Murtle or get a new character made by game time tomorrow, so that, you can meet the party in Neverwinter. A blank character sheet is in the player characters folder.&nbsp;
