The RP Message Board

[Philote]

I know there are a couple groups that just have a group going made out of their roommates, but I'm not sure off any official groups. I should ask around since I'm pretty sure someone mentioned there being one in Atec a while ago.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

If not, there's always the option to make your own group.

[Philote]

I'm one of the people who has a campaign going with just my roommates. Its just four of us (Swordmage (Me), Shaman, Sorcerer, DM). I'd like to get into a bigger group though if I could make the time for it.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yeah, bigger groups tend to be more fun.

[Zaleramancer]

One of my friend's brothers is going to have a d&d group that I will be in.

Should be fun.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

If you like, I can judge that for you. Just post it on facebook...

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Hehe...maybe one of these years, we can all meet up for something like that. If not by getting rich and traveling, at least over skupe or something.

[Zaleramancer]

I found a group.

Apparently, they'll be meeting every tuesday.

They're using a reduced form of D&D called Microlite.

It has some interesting features and classes.

The current (Large) group is..

A Cat-Folk Gunslinger (Most competent member of the group)

A Wood Elf Druid (Who turns into a bear and tries to eat people)

A Cat-Folk Gadgeteer (Who oddly enough casts spells)

A Ghost Sorcerer (Me. I can walk through walls, clothing not included. :/)

A Elf(?) Assassin(?) (Who is rather indecisive)

A Human God-Slayer (Anti-mage, heavy warrior. Second most competent group member)

A Half-Dragon Assassin (Who likes to sit and watch us fight)

First meeting was two hours of making characters, an hour or so of playing.

We started in a town, and after a few bumps most of us ended up in a tavern. (Druid, Me, Gadgeteer) The Elf? was standing outside of it. Half-Dragon was a roof near it, and the warrior/godslayer was in the middle of a crossroads with the Gunslinger.

The druid is in bear-form, and tries to talk to a group of goblins in the tavern. They don't understand Bear, so she turns back into her elf form..

... naked.

Then panics and flees from the tavern, bumps into a guard who orders her to dress herself. She then turns back into a bear and tries to eat him. The commotion causes the Gadgeteer and a few others to join the battle, including me. I decide (Since I'm a ghost) to run through the wall and join the battle.

But my clothing doesn't come with me.

So now I'm standing near a guard fighting a bear .. naked. Three more guards come up from behind.

It's chaotic mess in which I am useless. Eventually, the Warrior rushes blindly in swinging his sword..

.. and hits me. I loose about half my health, and decide to just duck back into the tavern through the wall, narrowly avoiding a sword.

Then the Gunslinger busts in, gets a natural 20 and blows up a guard's head. Few turns later, all of the guards are dead.

The druid (Still a bear) is in a tree.

The gadgeteer is in the tavern.

The Elf Assassin, Warrior and Gun-singer are looting corpses.

The Half-Dragon is watching from a nearby roof.

And me? I'm standing in the tavern.. naked.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

So all in all a pretty normal day, huh?

*Sarcasm Mode Active*

[Zaleramancer]

The first day.

So, next Tuesday, I guess we're going to have to figure out how to keep ourselves from being run out of town.

I guess my intangibility, which is the only reason I wanted Ghost, is going to be of no use to me from now on. Unless I want to give up all my clothing and items anytime I use it.

Sure it'll be nice in a limited way, but not at any point in time will I consider using it as anything but a tool of desperation. Especially since at higher levels, I'll want to keep my hands on my magical items.

[Philote]

Did she not realize she would turn back naked? Does she plan on being an animal for the rest of the game?

Why are you a ghost? Are you going to embrace your inner nudist?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I'm sure you could find some loophole in the abilities that will let you keep at least some items when you walk through walls. Like maybe if you eat them? I mean, walking though walls doesn't block the food in your stomach from passing through with you does it? Course the DM will probably snap that flimsy logic in half.

But on the bright side, your group is at least a lively one. My current group is not nearly as active.

[Zaleramancer]

In normal D&D, clothing melds with the body.

Also: This may be her first game of this, ever.

I thought that clothing would be included, since It's a goddamn ghost. You don't see them be bothered by this sort of thing.

It really kind of annoys me. And I'm basically useless at this point, since I have no weapons or offensive spells. And you only get xp for hitting things or casting spells on them.

If I ever claw my way up into higher levels, then maybe I can have useful spells.

And possibly some custom clothing that does go through walls with me. :/

[Zaleramancer]

Ghosts apparently don't eat or drink.

Possibly not sleep.

Which is useful, since that was a common sense thing not listed on the description.

[Philote]

Yeah, so what I was saying was that she was not informed of the house rules?

Have any other strange house rules?

Besides intangibility, what can you do? You could be the groups Face or utility person.

[Zaleramancer]

This is a really dummied down version.

Microlite_20_Races,_Classes,_Weapons_and_Armor,_and_stats.doc

I have a handful of zero level spells.

The ability to walk through objects..

And..

A bonus to knowledge skills.

Handful of items.

And the best health of the group. Mostly because I rolled well and the DM told me the magic system was health-consuming.

[Philote]

Interesting

Why was that system chosen? Do you know what else he is house ruling?

[Zaleramancer]

Because it's simple.

Not many house rules outside of that and the exp thing.

It's not half bad, I'm just a trifle annoyed. Not nearly enough to complain.

[Zaleramancer]

I'm not worried. I shall grow more potent as time goes by.

My moment will come.

[Zaleramancer]

Group met again.

Went awesomely.

Two more people joined, though two were absent. (One was a spectator before and the other a random person who saw it).

We all ended up heading for a cave on a quest. I was going to find a gem to trade to a creepy wizard for ghostly clothing. Others just wanted to kill whatever it was that lived there.

Long story short, Goblins- Goblins everywhere.

The newcomers were a Barbarian and a Half-Dragon Necromancer.

Now, we have three definite god-like characters.

The Gunslinger murders everything. At least one thing dies every turn he makes.

The Warrior has an armor class that can only be described as: Attacks? lolno.

The Half-Dragon Necromancer's Breath weapon is just murderous. He shot up to level three in the first session due to lucky rolls.

Anyway, we eventually came to the end of the cave, where a bunch of goblins were dancing around a pot over which a woman was suspended.

Not a single damn one of us thought she was anything less than pure evil.

After the three Gods destroyed every Goblin, the Barbarian decided to untie the woman.

Her (Barbarian) attitude was best described as: (Faux British accent), "Mi Lady, Will You Please Bless Me With Your Magical Powers?"

I cast detect magic- Boom, nasty evil aura. I shout demon and well..

She reveals herself as a succubus.

The warrior and necromancer end up holding her down while the rest of us throw things.

The DM, mercifully, allowed Prestidigitation to do 1d4 fire damage as part of it's effect, which allowed the mages to contribute.

After the Barbarian rips the succubus's wings off, and the Necromancer takes off her leg, the elf assassin finally lands the kill.

We all get a hefty chunk of exp and the Barb adds a pair of Succubus Wings to her inventory (Same for the Necromancer).

I plan on harvesting the Succubus's organs next session. I may just have my character try to make some abomination against nature.

I'm sure if I get a good enough roll, I can convince the DM to allow me to find some use for magical organs.

I'm thinking we are going to be an evil party at this rate.
