Black Sheep Gamers Guild™

Zack is cool.  He's not an Elias.  I was relieved.

MUAHAHAHAHA!  I am pretty sure that for the beginning of this game, I am going to take a page from an old DM of ours (Steve) and keep you guys as poor as possible for at least a few levels.

Everyone is armed with a variation on "the stick"... "the stick" is free. Unless we're in a desert or the arctic. Then "the stick" is very expensive.

That's right...swimming...I can tell already that this will be a diabolical campaign...

Honestly, we weren't really expecting anyone besides me and the new guy to play.  Just didn't want it to seem like it was private or secret or anything.

Well...you can buy buoyancy, water breathing, etc for armor right out of the Magic Item Compendium.  So he shouldn't be all that shocked.

And good find on the PHB starting gold.  I was looking at the DMG table which doesn't start until level 2.  Because less than 2,000 gp isn't worth mentioning...lol.  Until now...

I'm not totally sure what I'm going to be but I've decided she will have an eye patch.  And probably not just for looks.

No, you won't be intruding at all Adam, we just weren't sure if people were going to  have the time for a second game when we cooked up this idea.

Also, are you guys interested in being more on the side of justice, or the lawless side of things?

Noooooooo Adam, I'm sorry if I made you feel like you'd be intruding.  I just don't want people to feel like this is a ,"Jeez, you guys never play anything," situation.  It's a totally open session for people.  I won't make fun of people for not showing up to this one.

As for lawless or justice, I was thinking about that yesterday.  I'm not sure.  I don't really want to be evil, though.  No capturing women to use as whores for our ship or anything.  I wouldn't mind either being pirates or 'privateers' for the empire or something.  I'm definitely thinking closer to pirates than officers.

Does anyone have a hard copy of Tome of Magic that I could borrow? Truename magic is obnoxiously confusing and pdfs are not cutting it. I don't know that I am going to play a Truenamer. Yeesh.

It's the stuff like the Law of whatchamacallit in that the more you use Truename magic on a single being the harder it gets...etc. I dunno. I need to just sit and read it all I think. They seem ridiculously underpowered at the early levels too.

I was just wondering if people have an idea of what kind of characters they will be playing.

That's a cool idea.

I'm going to be a caster of some sort that manipulates water and wind.  That's as far as I am.

Yeah, I was looking through it last night.  A lot of their prestige classes are actually quite awesome (I've only recently been interested in prestige classes) but in the end, I think I'll probably end up as a sorceress who just chooses water/wind/weather spells.  But I'll call myself a seawitch.

Aye! Damn you ya sea witch!

And that sounds cool Adam...though are we going to have another evil whore on our hands if you play a female character?

LOL! Thank you? I think.

So, I've been reading and...curse my fickle soul...I like the idea of an Artificer. It could be handy at a lower level. He/she could be quartermaster on the ship. I just need to find a cool RP hook for it.

How many ability points do we get?

Wow, its pretty handy having my own little gaming receptionist.  I barely even have to check the thread.

Hhhmm...I think the new rule is that artificers don't get starting gold.  They have to do regrettable things for passing sailors to make their gold now.

lol, fair enough. But I found it, finally, in the Eberron campaign book that they start with 5d4x10 gp.

On page 33 of Eberron campaign, they show that Artificers get 5d4x10 gp.

Notice in the post before that...I gave the correct info.

You should never, never sit on the page

At least she views the page heh heh

neat!

He just wants to know who remembered.  Never mind if you're coming or not.

If you're coming, please let us know.  We're playing at Zack's.

When on Sunday?

How does 2 sound to everyone?

Agreed.

Does Zach live in a different country? Is that why you guys refuse to tell us where he lives? Is there really even a Zach?

Ah, there is a Zaac then. Well, I'm anxious to meet Zak. Zakh seems like a cool guys from what you've told me about Zac.

You forgot he asked? It was the previous post to the one you posted about Zaq.

Yes, I forgot he asked; I checked the forum and somehow didn't respond to that post before leaving the forum so it didn't show up as new for me later.  It's not like he said it out loud and the whole conversation was brought to a halt because air was leaking out of my head, including about the bit he just said.  Jackass...es...

I will  be.

D'oh!  Zack got called into work, lol.

I have a D&D question and since it relates to a character that I will be playing in this campaign, I thought I should post it here. If a druid is a race that is small, does that affect the size of animals he can shift into with his class ability?

Excellent! Now, what would you recommend for a good druid feat? I have Companion Spellbond, but I need another one. Any suggestions?

if you plan on multiclassing at all:

Natural Bond: +3 to your effective druid level for animal companion abilities, not above total character level
Practiced Spellcaster: +4 to effective level for casting spells, not above total character level

or:

Natural Spell: cast spells in wild shape (PHB)

there are several "Wild Feats" in complete divine that give you abilities at the cost of wild shape uses.

Spontaneus Healer: swap out your spells for heal spells on your list (complete divine)

there are feats in the complete arcane that give you more spells per day.

there is a feat in the monster manual i think that would increase your natural armor, which for a druid would help out in animal form (though there is also an armor enhancement that allows the armor to shapeshift with you so you keep the armor you are wearing in animal form also.)

just some thoughts...   wow, i just realized i really play druids a lot.

Oh...hehe. My decision making process just got easier. I only have 1 feat to choose at level 1 anyway.

A squid; that will be interesting.

Lol, thank you.

Just for my own personal information, is there going to be a High Seas game tonight? I don't know what time the Maulers game will be done and if it's early enough, I would like to make it to High Seas. Could someone text me when/if they can with said information? Please.

No worries. I just played games at home.

That would work out pretty well for me.

What's that I hear? Epic. You got it.

Yeay Burt! You won't regret this decision

I haven't been there in a while. Am I still level 2? Or did I make level 3 as well?

You're gonna regret that! Wait...that's not how Logan did it.

It's my understanding that we're playing here tonight and Adam will be catching a ride with Zatcho.  If that's not right, please call us!

brandon says to extend an invitation to play at out place tonight if people would like since we have more room, because brandon and i are planning on coming. I will be home all day and brandon gets off at 6 so he will get here about 6:45.  just let me know.  feel free to call.
