cn3wton Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I will provide a detailed description of the town in the first post of the next adventure so all I ask is you keep descriptions of the town/tavern vague. You guys posting about what you say back at town will be super helpful though to make an easy transition. 1 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

cn3wton Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I will be posting the beginning of the next adventure saturday morning, as I work friday night and I want to give you guys time. To the new guys your starting wealth is 100gp, I forgot to mention that (it usually differs by class but this is an even amount). Don't worry about not having the character sheet 100% filled in for the post saturday, but please have it done by next tuesday.

Not rivalry, no envy or hard feelings, but you know, a Wizard and a Sorcerer in the same group? That, or he'll make fun of the elf spending all his time pouring over dusty tomes for something that should come as naturally as breathing 2 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
cn3wton Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I ran short on time and have to post what I have. The rest will be up later tonight.

cn3wton Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Also I don't know if you noticed but I'm writing this like it's a retelling of a story. I think in pathfinder they are called loremasters... or lore something. So basically the author of this is going back and researching the history of the groups adventure. So there will be authors notes and stuff like that. Should be cool. 2 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

cn3wton Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Story is finished. I gotta be somehwer in 10 minutes that takes 20 minutes to get to. But I lost sense of time writing! may fix/alter a few bits so its more properly written.But the core aspects of the story will remain intact. You may now post your transition into this story. You can interject at any point of the opening story, you do not need to just pick up where I left off. The only thing you can't do is include the authors notes in your post, because, you know, those havent happened yet. If you are an exsisting member of the group it should be relatively simple. If you are not you can introduce yourself in any way, but you cannot approach the group itself until they are about to depart. If you have any questions about it just post it here. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with, and I can't wait to get this thing started. 2 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

The Most Loathed Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I have to say that your closing was great. The changing of the city was far more than I would ever expect. I will add in Elora in a tavern., you've set her up perfectly as another person seeking to learn the story. Seriously nice work. I hope your appointment forgives you because that writing was well worth it. 2 Quote You can't spell Slaughter without laughter Link to comment
cn3wton Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I am glad you all enjoy it. I really want to make it feel like it could be a real place and that you guys will actually be shaping it. You guys have until Tuesday to post your intro to this adventure. Tuesdays post will include you arriving at the outskirts of the town. 1 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

DarK_RaideR Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Took the tablet with me on my journey,just installed tapatalk and trying to figure out how it all works.I'll check out the story when I can and hopefully make a post. From what I'm reading here, great stuff must be going on. So happy I won't be falling behind! Edit: Just read the story post, I must say that was some impressive writing,cn3wton! Especially how the doom and gloom slowly set in, appeals to my taste of darker, grittier and more "realistic" fantasy. Also loved the narrator trick and the author's notes idea, especially the end (and the statue) which gives us the impression of the lasting effects of the group's actions. As soon as I find the time,I'll write down my part.This just keeps getting better and better! 2 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
The Most Loathed Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I finally got Elora's character sheet hammered out into something a little more functional for me. I realized as I worked through it that I mismatched class and race because I thought elves got a CHA bonus. I decided to just leave it alone and go with a non-optimized character because in my mind Elves are still very charismatic so I'll just play her that way. Off to write intro. 1 Quote You can't spell Slaughter without laughter Link to comment
cn3wton Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 That should be everyone. Post will be later tonight, so if you want to add anything in nows the time.Also adjusted my authors note to include Bronan's club in the inn. Just a reminder to everyone you are not limited to one post, but no double posting, and don't overdo it.I enjoyed all of your posts. But I'd like to point out both Gainsdalf and Terinatum's posts. They add something that changes the world a bit or adds to it. Bronan working with the farmers and giving his club to karl, and Flo having in depth conversations with pre existing characters aND adding a new one. These are awesome and I encourage them. It helps to develop the world. Now I'm not saying that you add things like going off and single handedly slaying a dragon. But things you feel your character would do.All within reason of course. 2 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

I always try to be super careful when I do this, not assuming anything exists in the world or anything, or controlling any character but mine. I used to run into trouble with people assuming too much and messing things up if they were too free when i DMed. Mainly it comes with adding characters or guilds in that the DM hasn't mentioned. If you're cool with it, good on you. Just putting out a arning that it can throw a wrench into things sometime.

cn3wton Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I would say when you do it think "could this drastically affect the story in any way"If the answers yes it's a no go, if not put it in. When in doubt post it here so we can voice our opinions on it. Or message me.
