[I wouldn't say "too fast" but... Maybe a little advance notice that the update is coming for those of us who haven't gotten one out yet?

I'm gonna be limited in Internet for a couple days (honestly wouldn't even mention it if it weren't for josef bugman's unbelievable update pace) so don't expect much me until probably Monday, possibly Tuesday.

That is fine mate! Hope you get internet back soon! professor_curly posted:
Heya mate, just bringing rules discussions over to this thread so that it won't bog things down. You can bump your result, but the numbers are like this at the moment GM:1 vs 14W Alden: 5 vs 3 W The W's are masteries and cancel each other, so in this case it's a failure vs a Critical. If you boost it, your boost goes up to making it a success versus a critical. You'd have to spend another Hero point in order to get it to the level you described above.

Ah, ok. Well, I'll still use the one hero point since I said I would. So a minor defeat instead of a major one.

That's fine mate, will add it in to the results I am compiling (bwhahaha) Just as a quick thing guys, my parents are going to be visiting me for the first bit of the coming week, I will try and respond to anything people post but as it looks as if a few people are currently waiting on their own internet, I will probably only be updating once or twice over the next 3 or so days.

Okay, so I had a bit of a busier time than I expected, and was kind of seeing if anything more would be going down here. So I will be posting again tonight and then getting back to our regularly scheduled program.

OK rules knowers, I'm gonna try identifying those items soon, but I wasn't sure what to roll. Is it just a straight Truth check (1W), in which case Balisleron is just as good, or can I add one of my other abilities to it? Can I use Poet for All Seasons (2W) to see if I've heard stories about it, or is that too broad an interpretation? What say you all?

Poet for all seasons would probably make it a stretch and make it worse off than the Truth rune. I'd advise just using that to start with!

I have no idea how Zzur would rally the townsfolk (there's a monster army, this is his jam), probably with Man-of-All, but I'm not sure how much weight that carries in Dragon Pass.

I would go for that one at the moment, and remember if you are rallying the locals who can fight then you can always rely on getting a +6 bonus to it.

You do have Seasoned Wayfarer, if you want more of a "may have run into it yourself" flavor.

As an aside, I think this is a good example of why its best to have the GM do all the rolls. If it weren't for the fact that I already knew Zurrekern was more likely to fail than not, my first instinct would be to have Belisleron support. As it is, I already know that support wouldn't make the difference because it's still be a fumble raised to a failure, so it's all on what the roll vs the difficulty is.

Post is up, again apologise for being so slow guys, I am hoping to be able to update every day again, but may have to do just 2-3 times a week! And to see what reign said, is anyone else in favour of having me roll things? I mean it seems to take away a lot of the stuff that people like to do and really goes against the idea of "Don't make the game 'watch the GM roll dice all the time'"

If you think a roll should be different, feel free to change it, I don't mind. And Zzur totally dismounted to talk to people. He's a regular guy, he's just also a not-Jedi.

Thanks, I thought that just going all "appeal to the sun" might actually help. wiegieman posted:If you think a roll should be different, feel free to change it, I don't mind. Not going to change rolls, they are sacrosanct, but will bear in mind what people have said. Oh I just thought that, when you mentioned lifting yourself up in the saddle. Will be sure to ask in future!

Yeah, it seems like it's time to say the characters of those who haven't posted were out relieving themselves, and they'll catch up later. Or something along those lines.

Got it, been getting my current computer to work anyway, so will have a setting thing for the ritual up in the next few days, then we are going to start summoning some major baddies. Just as quick thing, if people could send me their characters fears on the wire that would be awesome as well. Going to try and personalise things as well.

I posted... and got a critical fumble. I'm still a bit fuzzy on the fumble rules as well as when I should spend hero points. Can I spend one in situations like this to make the results less awful, or is there not much point? Also could you give us a bit more description of the hill itself and how our camp is situated? What time of day is it? I'm having trouble getting a good mental image of the whole thing. As for Kalan's fears, I'll just post them here since I've been making them pretty obvious anyway. The big'uns relate to being abandoned or losing loved ones, what with being an orphan. As a side effect, he's also afraid to let anyone get close to him or settle down too long in one place. He's not particularly afraid of death itself, but he is afraid of dying unmourned and unremembered, which is why he cares so much about becoming a famous poet and securing his legacy.

So basically what you have right now is a Fumble, with one mastery. The Mastery bumps you up one level on this track to a Failure. If you spend a Hero Point, you can move up the track again to a Success. However you can wait until you see the results of Josef's roll to decide if you want to do this. If he rolls a Fumble with no mastery, then you'll get a Minor Victory. Hero point will get you to a Major Victory. If he rolls a Failure with no mastery, then you'll get a marginal victory (ties going to the high roll, which is you). Hero point will get you to a minor victory. And so on. But you don't have to decide now. If he rolls something like a Critical with a mastery and all sundry other things, then it won't make a difference. If he rolls an even worse fumble than you (ie a Fumble with no mastery levels) then you'll be deciding whether you want a minor or major victory.

Heya guys! Sorry about the delay in writing up, but just wanted to report that I am currently in Dublin as my Girlfriend arranged a rather nice late Birthday Present! Afraid I won't be able to post anything to continue the story too soon, but will be back this coming wednesday, so I hope I can have something up on that day.

Hello there guys! Sorry to post this here but I didn't want to go away without saying sorry. Over the past few weeks I've had to deal with some stuff that has been going down at home and some things that I have to do at work and in my private life. I know that the game is, unfortunately, dead. I know that I haven't been very good at sorting out a lot of this, but I hope I was not too bad for a first time GM at any point. I've decided to try and do more of this in real life to get some notches before coming back to something like this. I'd like to thank everyone involved in this for helping me out such a lot, the character ideas have been fantastic and the participation was just examplary. I could not have asked for better players, and I wanted to apologise for letting you all down these past few weeks. Thank you all so much, and if you have any questions, or just want to yell at me or chat a little I have PM's.
