PoisonWar Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 That was a lot of fun!Might have been one of our funniest sessions yet!
aluminiumtrioxid Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Well that was fun, but by the end, I had enough of Ezekiel to last a lifetime "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
Oner Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Well that was fun, but by the end, I had enough of Ezekiel to last a lifetime And of Mary too I'd wager.

aluminiumtrioxid Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Well that was fun, but by the end, I had enough of Ezekiel to last a lifetime And of Mary too I'd wager. Well, Ezekiel was an actively terrible human being. Mary was merely dumb, but harmless. Although I'd hazard the guess that Mary is about as representative of the average woman as Ezekiel is of the average Catholic "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."

Marky Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 You guys all did such a great job roleplaying, and the chat was hilarious. 1
aluminiumtrioxid Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I'm rather proud of the "running commentary in the chat window" idea, because it gave something to do to the inactive characters, without making the game devolve into an incoherent shouting match. 2 "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
aluminiumtrioxid Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 So here's the player link for this week's game: https://app.roll20.net/join/891817/Ay_8tg "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
aluminiumtrioxid Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I think I failed to articulate one of the biggest differences between OD&D - and, by extension, the games that seek to emulate its playstyle, including DCC - and later editions like 3.X or 4.0. Namely, that there's no such thing as a perception roll. You automatically get all information if you ask for it. The game kind of expects the GM to first describe a place in vague outlines, and the players to ask questions that help them gain information crucial to decision-making. Everything is hyper-deadly, but the serious threats are usually highly telegraphed. Most of the gameplay's supposed to be this ongoing dialogue where you build up whatever information you need in order to make a decision that makes you rich (or, at the very least, helps you survive), punctuated by occasional explosions of brief, but incredibly brutal action. It's a very different paradigm than even 5E's (which is actually a lot closer to oldschool sensibilities than the previous three editions preceding it).

Marky Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Yeah it took me a while to realize how this was a real "dungeon crawl" (is that the right term?). Next session my characters will hopefully have a better survival rate. Edited July 6, 2015 by Marky
aluminiumtrioxid Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah it took me a while to realize how this was a real "dungeon crawl" (is that the right term?). In a sense, yes, although I can imagine some purists quibbling over the fact that it wasn't, strictly speaking, a dungeon. "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
Oner Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I still find it funny how Team Creepy got through all that with literally a few scratches. :D 1 Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget!

PoisonWar Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 I still find it funny how Team Creepy got through all that with literally a few scratches. :D Yeah.. **** that! If it wasn't for Charleene team creepy could have been the only survivors.... Or you know... nobody would have died... Take your pick xD
Marky Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I hope that only Charleene, Falk Slag and Team Creepy survive.
aluminiumtrioxid Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I hope that only Charleene, Falk Slag and Team Creepy survive. Well, the death of the rest can be arranged... "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
Oner Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 ...:DI'm getting surprisingly fond of my halfling OhmigodwhathaveIgottenmyselfintonow merchant to be honest.

aluminiumtrioxid Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Not to unduly influence you or anything, but the halfling racial class is pretty cool. You get dual-wielding goodness and the ability to spend luck to boost others' rolls. "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
Marky Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Well, the death of the rest can be arranged... Oh I wouldn't dream of it. ...What's your price?
Oner Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Not to unduly influence you or anything, but the halfling racial class is pretty cool. You get dual-wielding goodness and the ability to spend luck to boost others' rolls. Well, nothing's keeping me from keeping all of my guys alive, right? Frankly I want Guy to live through it no matter what. Seeing the courier and the halfling taking adventurer classes would just be extra hilarity. Also, a drink to Dan, the beertender who hated wine.

aluminiumtrioxid Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 So my PC is kind of misbehaving. Situation seems to be under control for the moment, but if I'm not in the game by, say, 21:30, tops, it's very likely that the problem's more persistent than I thought. Killing Skype seems to have solved it, though, so don't freak out if you can't reach me there. "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
aluminiumtrioxid Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Sorted out the problem, session will be held as usual. Our adventures in the rose garden continue! "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
PoisonWar Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 That was quite the session, i really liked the ending and the way it is open to other adventures in the end.
