3. Scheduled player group

Scheduled player group


  • I'm going to be playing a human bard that specializes in buffing with a bit of healing on the side.


  • @kerby
    There are no royal houses, but there are some nobles, and there are still the Peltarch Aristocracy. There are guilds as well, and the ones in the Docks have continued their chicanery. The WaveBreakers definitely still exist, as do others


  • BACKGROUND

    We are gaming buddies. Happen to frequent the same gambling den and hit it off when there was a barroom brawl. We all defended our card table, and it has been 'ours' ever since. Over the years, we've found it to be our escape from our other responsibilities.

    So when one of you suggested that we use the excuse to get away from our wives/families/businesses/duties/etc... you decided to expand 'game night'. At first it was, we all would head out to a vacation cabin one of you had built for get-aways with their family, (outside the city walls a bit into the Giantspires) to drink and play cards and dice over for a couple days. It then turned into week long 'hunting trips' with your buddies.

    The group now takes turns recommending the next thing to cross of their 'bucket list'. We could also have a member of the group that is poor with a large family to feed... so this is also a moonlighting situation for him. Maybe the group could even be referred to as: THE MOONLIGHTERS!

    Likely be easier if we all RPed guys for this one. Alignment, is open to all good and neutrals. Neutral evil would be dicey, unless it was played as simply a selfish dick instead of a malignant force of evil. The strife in the group should be what you would typically find between mates on the same sports team... not what you'd find between a Satanist and a Christian.

    That said, this is a social group. Loners wouldn't go out for this kind of group bonding in the first place. Any other personalities would be fun. The more variety, the more interesting the dynamic will be. But basically we'll start out with everyone is looking to gets some thrills and fun out of this.


  • @rei_jin Thanks for letting me know about no Senators in Peltarch anymore. If there is a King, are their then royal houses? If not, perhaps the head of a guild? Are the Wavebreakers still a thing?

    @necrofai Starting... not sure. Maybe next week on Monday? I'd like to get each person to give me an idea of the class(es)/race they'd like to use to fill their role. I'd also like to get feedback as to how our group is bonded. If I can get each person to commit to starting a new character, then one of the out of town backgrounds would be better. If I have to accept player's existing characters, then perhaps an in-town background.

  • @kerby Yeah, Sunday was always my PnP night, back in the day.

    Unfortunately, my other nights are booked with sports leagues. I play flag football on Tuesdays and Thursday nights.


  • @kerby - Sounds fun - Can probably play in this timeslot, and am fierce for having many alts.

    If you're a group of adventurers in Common - is there any backstory or theme (or alignment quirks) - Or were you going to wing it, IG and see who shows up?


  • Thanks Z. I would prefer a weekend group as well, but I already have a Sunday evening PnP group I play with and asking the wife and kid to not have a family evening ain't gonna fly for me. Is there a weekday combination that would make this more palatable for you, as not many others have preferences. So it could just as easily be a Tue / Thu thing.

  • Unfortunately, I'm going to have to pass.

    I play soccer on Mondays, so I'll never be able to play on Mondays. Wednesdays are also very iffy - I usually work late on Wednesdays.

    Thanks for organizing this - it's a great idea. Maybe in the future another group will start on the weekends.

    Z


  • Looks like most folks are available most evenings. So lets try for Monday & Wednesday evenings from 7:30p - 10pm EST? I had intended for everyone to start from scratch, so let me know if you AREN'T interested in that. Going to try and keep the levels within about three of each other.

    How about this so far?

    Kerby : __________Tank
    St.Croix : ________Ranged Damage?
    Atel : ____________Heals+
    RedneckDM : ___Melee Damage
    Andelas : ________Heals+?
    Speedy_Z : ______Scout
    Necrofai : _______Spell Damage / Buffs?
    DragonSai : _____Tank?

    Still like jello so speak up if you want something else and I'll balance those with flexibility accordingly. : )

  • @speedy_z_ said in Scheduled player group: Is the plan to only play these characters at this time? Kind of like the old weekly PnP sessions? That way we all stay around the same level?

    I hadn't thought about that Z. In my mind it was everyone starting a new character and playing together. The problem with ONLY playing these characters when we are on those slotted times/days is that the rest of the server's interactions and changes continue to happen. So it'd almost be like we're not in-synch with the rest of the universe.

    The flip side is that if we ARE in a DM sponsored event and we cut it off to take it up where we left off, then folks playing their toons between sessions may end up with different resources, spell slots, be in different places, etc...

    Perhaps we all try to stay within a couple levels of each other and if we are in a DM sponsored event as a group... or the group is way far from the central maps and we as a group decided to cut it off till next session, that we all leave those toons alone till next time?

    Thoughts?

  • I might be interested in doing this. Unfortunately, my "get in game and play for a few hours" time is limited to the weekends - maybe some Wednesday evenings (but probably not - I try to work late on Wednesdays).

    Is the plan to only play these characters at this time? Kind of like the old weekly PnP sessions? That way we all stay around the same level?

    Regardless, if I'm going to make a new character for this (assuming you don't want Z nerfing everyone's xp - but I'd be happy to bring him as a tank/support cleric), I'd like to try a monk...maybe a mage...but probably a monk. I like to multi-class, so I'd take some scout skills to make him useful. He'll be worthless as a tank...until later levels.

    Finally, I have zero desire to play an evil character or even associate with them as a non-evil. So, if it turns out to be an evil group, I'm out - OOCly and ICly.
