Let's Go Steal a Dungeon (MotBM OOC/Planning)

I should point out that that room does have a door. Of course, Alabaster broke the chain that controlled its locking mechanism in the process of freeing Chanterelle, so your decision still makes sense.

 

The confusion's probably my fault, because I misread Wiwaxia's question. Thought they were talking about additional doors out in the corridor.

 

Ahhhh. A broken door isn't as useful as one they can lock. They probably assumed it was forced open now, and were too busy with flowers and statuary to think to check it.

There's always somebody making like, an Int- check to think of it, if things go badly again in the near future? 8D

 

I mean, Liron's stats suggest that they should be making INT rolls more often, but their personality, such that it is, makes them being sensible more than once every few hours seem v ooc bc they are probably going to be thinking of other things

basically what I'm saying is that if an INT check is needed, one of the other characters should nudge Liron to keep it in character, bc otherwise they're only going to remember to do so after the fact

 

I think sensibility would be a Wisdom-based thing, actually? do any of us have reasonable Wisdom modifiers? not sure how common sense (and Wisdom modifiers) plays into realizing when to make other kinds of ability checks, though...

edit: amazingly, Liron has the highest Wisdom mod in the party, with +2, while Lyriae, Sarnai, and Stella all have +1 and Alabaster has -1. she also has proficiency on Insight and Perception checks, which means her mods for those are +5 (Lyriae does too, for +4 mods), so, uh. apparently Liron has the most common sense out of anyone?? does that mean her stats are OOC, or???

 

no, it means her stats are at war w her brain

 

My usual policy calling for Int or Wis checks is only in circumstances where the character would definitely have knowledge the player doesn't. Otherwise problem-solving (which is part of the fun of D&D, especially in a dungeon crawl situation) becomes a matter of who has bigger numbers on their character sheet.

You can also make checks on your own initiative, though. Say, Perception to search a room, or Insight to get a sense of whether a character is hiding something.

 

sooooo I was babbling about this over in the D&D thread earlier, but there's this website that lets you design your own tabletop miniatures, and I made our party!!! BEHOLD:

(I reeeeeeally hope you guys can tell who everyone is without my having to label them.) anyway, those are partially based on character sheets and mostly based on my headcanons (and on the available options), so please do weigh in if your character is somehow OOC. :P (also, as a general note, I did take some liberties with the armor in pursuit of the Aesthetic.) this was super fun! like a dollmaker on steroids!!! :D

edit: and @Wiwaxia sorry about the, uh. costume. such as it is. I tried... (that "bird mask" was labeled a plague doctor mask, btw. no idea why they had it, but hey.)

 

making the unofficial hiatus into an official hiatus, I think, until and unless we know what the forum is gonna look like in the immediate future and it stops being the spoon equivalent of a sucking chest wound.

 

Yes, thank you. I've been dithering on whether I needed to call a hiatus myself.

 

I'm leaving the forum for good, I think, and I believe missoyashirou has too.
I'd love to continue this game on discord or somewhere else if that's viable/people are interested, but if not I'd like to thank @The Frood Abides for running and everyone else for being great to play with.

 

Thank you for playing! Alabaster had that quality beloved by dungeonmasters -- they were a catalyst.

I'd like to hear what the players would like to do, before deciding how to go forward.

 

I'm willing to continue on discord

 

I'm also willing to continue on discord.

 

I've never used Discord, so I'd probably have to be hand-held through that aspect of it, but I'm definitely game!

 

any chance i could join the chat to watch? i've enjoyed seeing the rp here.

 

I would like to continue maintaining anonymity, but it should be trivial to set up a secondary Discord account. (Once I figure out how to do it...)

The other concern is, of course, our adoring fanbase (of approximately 6 people). We could either let spectators into the chat, or I could copy+paste periodic updates into the IC thread, if everyone's comfortable with that.

 

either way!

 

I have two discord accounts due to shenanigans, using the same gmail account. It just took adding a +addition to it, so my address was formatted like email+addition@gmail.com . Not sure if that works with other email providers.

 

I still can't?? believe we have a fanbase??? like holy shit, people enjoy us fucking around with our silly characters and expounding on their motivations and asking rules questions??? like?? anyway. I'm flattered, don't get me wrong! but. huh.

also like. what is Discord, actually, is it an app or a website or what, and also where can I go to sign up
