Oh right, okay - can do all week if people are up for it; I’ve already started it on:

Each player takes about 1 post “turn” per day; as a minimum M–F, taking weekends off — All up for negotiation here, while we figure shedules

Ugh.. sorry - Accidently deleted the whole space lol. Take II!

oh i meant like we can play all week, but weekends shouldnt be an off day, bc thats when we can be the most active i think

bulky

bulky

Okay - I’ll make space; link will be in hub for invites

id start a new space, just to have it better organized.

A quest board; prerequisite of a small test to see if you were capable

A letter mysteriously appeared in your backpack while you weren’t looking.

Drinking fruit punch (mixed with wine and mostly blood) at the local tavern. I drink i invented called the bloody Marge. Ppl aren’t into it .. yet. I might’ve passed out.

In this example, can we ask ‘does the knife look evil?’

Orientation - Top to bottom, then Left to right; I don’t want to restrict posting creativity as well - so open to anything at this point.

Acutally scrap that - let’s see how we go.

How’s the performance so far for posting?

The way we post is still up in the air; I think .... maybe we create a super fresh space for this to begin the game.

Retrieve the horn of an elk?

To join some kinda well known squad? Like the special forces but rpg?

Experience and growing my combat skills. Oh also fame as the coolest warrior

Three weeks ago, the

The meeting (for the quest)

You are to meet a person called ”...” at ”...” to discuss ”....”

Where were you?

No goals // We are together to get the job done.

How did you meet?

The reward of...

Motivations

Tries very hard to fit in with humans (but she was always treated like the devil incarnate just because she isn’t one)

Weapon: two daggers

Tobacco Pouch and Pipe

1 Armor: padded leathers

Types of downtime activites

Purchase a shack/house for respite

The default is to go to town and restock, relax, and bar time :) Or an army of horses

So here is some downtime things you can do; when you have extra gold to spend (noting some of you are not exposed to TTRPG so better to give you more information than less) - But the venn diagram of RPG’s across all media is similar, so anything you can think of - feel free to ask, we probably can do it.

A) Gold was used as a level tracking

Reason for this section is... partly also an understanding for myself - If leveling isn’t in this system, then why are you as characters taking on quest that reward you with gold??

Some activities may require multiple steps - which I’ll introduce you to the milestone tracking, but case by case - I’ll go into it when we cross that bridge

B) Used to do downtime activities or trade for more in-world experiences

The classic troup of adventuring is treasure hunting and gold accumulation.

Downtime

But whatever it is... it’s a balance in finding WHY you are doing the things you do; will help the characters motivation; but if you’re mode is chill and just for fun - then no need to over think this :)

Doesn’t have to be this weekend, I can begin the structure and everyone can post (I’ll add soff rules/guidelines) - be good to see how it rolls out and works for folks. Then Weekend would begin the adventure proper.

4 players is a good number

Ben will be observing instead so we can go ahead and start; which is now on me :) Let me.... prep some world stuff.

Character ready?

Okay, that’s a good start. How about we start with a meeting of the quest giver to get everyone familiar and warmed up to the Play by Post concept

i’d say the best time to play this is the weekend, it’s not a job for anyone here im pretty sure, the minimum to one a day is great imo

Couple options here:

The Campsite

I’ll open with a scene to the adventure

Folktales recount that traveling through The Roots bends the natural order of things. Stories tell of adventurers lost for centuries to the depths, only to emerge again claiming that only a few hours have passed. Others have claimed to make a week-long journey above ground in just one day, traveling in the tunnels beneath.

Races

Reminder to check out the player prinicples

But let’s start with this exercise; read the

Story background

Copper (CP)

Give me an Inn/Tavern name

What’s your experience with monsters/wild creatures?

Do you have relations to

Has anyone encountered Roots/Gates

What’s your exposure to magic?

What has been done

Feel free to ask question

we should start doing this

Ah yes good point - I’ll make a note to comment on all :)

and it might be better for the warden to know

i think everyone should say their relation to them, even if they dont know about them at all so that its not gonna be visible who has ties to who by the pfp?

Honor system to not look inside the comment cards that isn’t your own; but if accidental - roleplay without that extra game knowledge - Thanks!

Some of you know of

Please add a comment card on the rows.

I’ll start with you all in the classic tavern scene (Maybe-WIP).... meeting the person giving you said quest; but this is noting you all have agreed in some way to be in a party together and now in the process of meeting said person.

Who will you be meeting for the run down.

Theme

I won’t be telling how your character feels towards something. eg: you see “an evil-looking knife.” - Rather you see “A “long, jagged knife””

Players do not need to roll dice to learn about their circumstances, you just need to ask.

Telegraphing serious danger to players when it is present. The more dangerous, the more obvious.

Provide hints where needed, and will answer questions transparently; I’m not the adversary to your characters; cornering you into a deadly trap.

re-state a character’s surroundings, where they are in physical space, and what their senses are detecting. How close are they to a potential danger? What side of an object are they standing on?

Gather around the table

Brief info “The party travels along the river, arriving just West of the campsite”

We’ll do a warm up of Play by Post as well. I can begin set dressing the scene and will allow space for you answer; reply as you see fit with your character or ask questions OOC (Out of Character) to get more context of the scene or system.

No right or wrong answers - read each others sheet, collaborate on how you think ties you together.

We can start with who’s given the “quest” - Weither it be a patrons, employers or freelancers

This is where we decide, as a group how you guys tie in together to form this ragtag group of adventurers

A bit of improv and co-creation :)

THE ORDER OF NINE

THE SILVERSILK RIVER

This will organically build your story and ground you into this world by the responses you create.

Think about how you aquired this knowledge; books, gossip, experience

The denizens of The Wood are fiercely independent, believing they are subject solely to the rules of The Wood. Its fierce nations, wild tribes, and unrelenting elements have kept armies and scouting parties at bay.

Populated by creatures stranger and more wondrous than humankind: Fae, Demons, Witches, werewolves, and even talking plants and animals. They do not appreciate losing their home to “natural” progress

The Woods

EG: if you’ve lived a sheltered life, or suffered memory loss.

Only the brave or foolish have dared enter The Roots, in search of forgotten Relics or powerful Spellbooks. The few that return whisper of unspeakable terrors guarding these lost treasures.

THE ROOTS

Common knowledge amongst adventurers’; you can choose to not know this info if it suits your character

The Roots

The Woods

Vald

Petty items are subjective; so we’ll figure it out as we go; but the aim is not to get too bogged down with item tracking :)

~

From Yochai (Creator): Petty means irrelevant, No weight, can’t be crushed, can’t affect anything around it

I just learn’t gems are brittle so they go in Inventory slot; not petty

Misc and light items; and with reason.

If you were to hold this, would it slow you down?

We are going to introduce some 2e rules on items:

What you are playing can be deadly, but characters can survive through critical thinking and careful exploration.

World truth time

On Base Stat and HP

Doesn’t (yet) have likes, dislikes, any knowledge of the world surrounding her, as she was always locked up, hidden away

Now, she starts on a journey hoping that along the way she will find her true parents/family, a society where she is accepted for who she is

A changeling child who was put in place of another, she was never welcome in the town, they banished her as soon as she turned 21

Starting: Rations (x3)

Saw

Face paint

Sling

Shield 1+

Brigadine

Born a vampire, but don’t hold it against him. Kid Dynamite grew up hearing cool stories of fighters, adventure, and l33t loot. Armed with all the swords/sharp things he could find around the house, and a bucketful of sunscreen, he departs on a quest to bash heads, warrior-style

When not questing, he performs on the streets as a mime in towns with barely any population.

He is always worrying, armoring up, and fighting from a distance. An expert at dodging, ducking, and dodging. And can sneak up on the best of ’em.

Malachi the Mundane is scared. He believes himself to be quite introspective and loves to offer advice, although it usually results in treacherous circumstances.

Weapon: Scimitar

Weapon: Glaive
