Hello Adventurers! Welcome to the Westhaven/Norea Out-of-Character thread
Use this thread for:
• Idle chat, get to know your fellow players! • Questions or strategizing for in-game characters (When appropriate) • Questions for DM concerning In-game content • Notifications of edits or corrections to In-game mistakes or incorrect dice rolls
House Rules:
-All PbP Rules noted on the PbP Rules and FAQs thread linked in the campaign page -The rule of cool... is applied. -Inspiration will be awarded for fantastic role-play, combat worthy of recognition, and good call-outs in the OOC about any discrepancies or mistakes by the DM. Keep me honest! -Besides these house rules, we will proceed RAW (Rules as Written)
-Text Formatting-
When posting in OOC, type however you feel free. In the IC thread, please post with the following format:
For character thoughts: "Italicize your text with quotation marks" For character speech: "Bold your text with quotation marks" For Out of Character information: Color your text Orange and place at the end of your response. For example:
Perdition gazes upon the house that once trapped his spirit for Gods knows how long. Over a longer-than-necessary period of time he ponders "weeks... months... years? but finally, I'm free". as he begins to conjure flames within his hand, he gazes on the house for one last time. "Never again" he exclaims, as he casts the fire upon the house.
Perdition will cast burning hands on the house will take 14 on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. he will then use his full movement to walk away from the house.
What's everyones preferred play style? do we like combat encounters more? Puzzles? Dialogue and lore building? Let me know and I'll adjust accordingly.
I also think it's okay to add one more player, so if any of you know someone who'd like to join, we'll give them first dibs, otherwise I'll start recruiting.
I think I enjoy a peppering of all. But, probably lean toward lore mixed into exploration. I tend to like campaigns that feel like fantasy novels and have aspects that weave into other aspects. I try to keep track of characters, see where relationships turn in them themselves and like it when people are complicated and not one dimensional.
I'll post my backstory in a bit. I think it will work in this new world with just a few tweaks.
I don't know what the previous DM was talking about regarding leveling up, however we'll go RAW, and when you level up, everything that you earn like HP, Spell slots, etc will be appended to what you already have. This should happen automatically on your character sheet, but for simplicities sake just refill your HP and lets start on a good note 😎
Let’s agree on a post rate? I’d say right off the top I can respond daily, but if one of us doesn’t get a chance to, I’ll wait another 24 hours before advancing the game. That way everyone has two days at max to make a post. Does that seem fair? Open to hear suggestions
I’ll wait until the evening for otoutidwimble, if he doesn’t post by then I’ll have callim agree to continuing to the next path, and I’ll continue the progression
Right thanks for that reminder! I don’t see the harm in putting him on autopilot for a bit of the exploratory phase, but if you both are okay with it, we’ll stop and wait for him if we get to an encounter

Quick question!

I like a lot of RP, but don't make it combat light.

Right on. Sounds good. I have the remainder of this dungeon fleshed out and I’ll be waiting on IC responses to move forward 🫡
Alright, I posted in the IC channel, let's get this story going again! Break time is over. :)
Thanks for getting us going again OTheophylus!

I can post everyday no problem. That said, I'm in no rush and happy to wait for everyone to get a chance to post, so no issues with your proposal.
I’ll wait until the evening for otoutidwimble, if he doesn’t post by then I’ll have callim agree to continuing to the next path, and I’ll continue the progression
Cool, he mentioned he'd be busy because of Easter.
Right thanks for that reminder! I don’t see the harm in putting him on autopilot for a bit of the exploratory phase, but if you both are okay with it, we’ll stop and wait for him if we get to an encounter
I'm cool, it's not a very RP-heavy area so...

I'm back and thanks to all for just having me shadow a bit while I was super busy. I'm headed in to check and see what you have all be up to!
I'm the kind of player that loves when I whiff a roll and wait eagerly to see how the DM dings me. hehe.
Dang it!!! I thought this was gonna be a cliche, "D&D players don't know how to deal with a door," moments, but nope.
