Discussion Tavern: Sleeping Giant

[VashTheStampede]

Wait really? Were we just lucky in the Ben campaign that no one dropped out?

Yeah Tommy and canadaguy dropped out of the other campaign.

Trying to stay positive but it's pretty disheartening at this point

 

[VashTheStampede]

It's that common eh? Wow.

Usually the issue is more just trying to get a time that everyone is available and then shit happens and people miss a session here or there.

Naively I thought this format would avoid stuff like that

 

[TD]

Is it too late to merge the two or is that too many people?

Maybe we can find a 4th so you don't have to rebalance the whole campaign?

Christina offered to drop from the other one to try and combine. That would bring it to 7 and I'd still have to rebalance everything.

Should have known better than to do so much prep work but I was excited.

 

[TD]

Maybe we can find a 4th to pop in here.

Let's give this some time before making any immediate decisions.

 

[Short Order]

See if you can convince @Tommy Boy that he can be just a step above an NPC and the game will work.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

This is a good idea

 

[Kutshort Yes]

You're taking too many kutshorts in these threads.

I could roll a second character tonight to help folks out if that would make things better. That would give two parties of 4, yes?

That would absolutely help. Would only have to contrive a way for your character to get involved in the party but that's easy peasy.

I'll make a character with memory loss and you can write me in just aimlessly wandering in the area all confused.

Unless you got a neater idea.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

In this case I had my post to TD typed and just didn’t send it right away.

My character has memory loss if I get knocked out. Not enough blood my brain if my magical wood helps me ride the next morning

I may. Nothing fancy but its effective. We'll chat in DMs after you make your character. No rush. Appreciate you stepping up.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

My only suggestion was turn this into a backstory with one of Kutshort and Tortle’s earlier adventures

 

[Ben Zine]

I don't mind doing a second character either if that helps. I'm always around and mostly immune to real life.

 

[T'anks]

TD Tortle Dude messaged me about the dilemma. I have absolutely fuck all idea what is where or who is what nor which side is facing northerly in a cattywampus manner because [very long post].

That being said, if splitting people's time/attention between two campaigns is undesirable I can pretend I know what words mean for a spell. Figuratively and literally, mayhap. Depending on how soon you wanted to start because I haven't read a thing yet anywhere in this neck of the woods.

I shouted "welcome to the FROZONE" to cast Frostbite so I think you're good at not knowing words.

If you're interested in playing we would definitely be thrilled to have you.

I can't speak for @GwJumpman but kut and TD have pretty clear about taking our time to get things right.

and we still have a bit of narrative work to do in the meantime until you're ready to jump in

(plus you get to have Ben create your character appearance using his powers as an added bonus)

100%. I’ve never done this before and I’m already having fun. I can only imagine how much effort you put into planning this. It seems like something you and @Christina enjoy doing and I’m glad you want to share it with the rest of us and invite us in. For you, I got all the time in the world

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Scratch my previous post. This is the only reason I’m playing

Sounds good! Then, I'll continue to poke around and doing the thing.

Has anyone mentioned casting Magic Missile yet? This is very pertinent information that I of course have no way of knowing except by searching which sounds like work.

Maybe I can use my magical wood to cast that…

So is your character named Magic Mike Michelle?

Do that and don't have any magical abilities. You can cast Magic Michelle by throwing yourself into fights face first.

See she'll be fine, she already knows more than kut and I. I didn't know Magic Missile was a thing.

You know me too well.

The roll said it can happen, so I think I win

Okay FINE.

@VashTheStampede correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding of D&D is that almost anything can happen if you roll high enough and your DM is creative enough

Off to a great start.

I've got like 75 minutes for the night, let's see what kind of ridiculous tomfoolery y'all are getting saddled with.

I rolled for you

Edit: you should have 2 choices

That is pretty much true. "Almost" is doing some heavy lifting there but we'll ignore that

Your character should have pineapple attire.

Yeah I said it.
