We're going to have two parties. A better way to look at it is that we have 2 tables playing the same game. Before we move forward, I just want to put it out there for everyone (Zeim and I respect your opinions), mechanically, do you have any advice? My inclination is that we just have 2 threads going in parallel in this one forum. I don't think we want to do two separate forums. Zeim and I will share artwork and the like. So, the first set of questions: What do you all think? Can it work? Any mechanical ideas? Next. Do you want to come up with party names? Something easy that we can label threads? We can always just list all the character names in parens, but I only really would do that if a party split. We could go as simple as Team1 + Team2, but hey, that's <ahem> boring The two teams are: I will be DMing this group:AJ: Kriv Norixius Dragonborn Fighter (Eldritch Knight) Nivek: Karok Battlehammer Cleric Dwarf Gypsy: Jaliera Hassan Rogue Human Neil: Chandan Human Monk Zeim: Kallista - "Despair" Warlock Tiefling (Devotee of Dispater) Dugan: Davroar Human Druid Zeim will be DMing this group:Pandemonium: Luminmorn Dragonborn Paladin Kenseg: Balthazar Human Wizard MikeD: Bern Human Ranger Exeter: Ryssa Noman Cleric Human Neptune: Lingo Halfling Rogue (Arcane Trickster)

That's a good idea! Do we request that? | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,610 Moderator | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,610 | I kinda prefer the parallel threads in this forum idea as opposed to splitting off into subforums. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,116 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,116 Likes: 5 | I can take care of it Nep ... Just let me know when you decide.
So far there have only been a few replies and it seems to be a mixed reaction to the idea, so we might want to get a consensus <g> FWIW, I like the idea.

Shared info threads can be done as stickies. Just my preference. Neptune - your character says arcane trickster.. I thought that choice came later as that was the direction I was intending to take Kaliera. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,960 Likes: 1 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,960 Likes: 1 | Gypsy, I indicated it in advance. Truth is that my PC, although playing at 1st level, is the same one I played at GenCon. He had gotten to 3rd level there so I kinda know.
Thanks for the info about the sub-fora. If the new posts don't light up on the main page, I'm kinda wary of using them. Awaiting more votes and looking for those team names ... | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,127 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,127 Likes: 8 | Separate threads in a single forum works for me.

I see the new posts to sub-fora showing when I look at the main page. Not only do they show in the sub-fora link, they are included in the totals for the main forum. Is that, perhaps, a setting somewhere?

I just want to know that I should look. Sub for a then. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,960 Likes: 1 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,960 Likes: 1 | Actually, I think it's just easier to do it without the sub-fora.
Here's what we'll do. Until you guys come up with names, I'll call my table, table "N" and Zeim's table "Z". Threads will be named as follows:
Table-Part.Chapter-Chapter title (optional PC list) As an example:
N-1.1-Goblins vs Z-1.1-Goblins
There's an intro, so we're going to start with N-Intro-Driftwood Inn and Z-Intro-Driftwood Inn
So, AJ, Nivek, Gypsy, Mina and Zeim, look for the "N" threads and Pandemonium, KenSeg, MikeD, Exeter and I will look to play in the "Z" threads.
And yes, no sub-forums. All of it in the game forum. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,116 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,116 Likes: 5 | So is that N for the table you are playing or the table you are running <gd&r lmao>

All the Js and Ks in one party, all the Bs and Ls in the other. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,116 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,116 Likes: 5 | Just an ooc hint to my illustrious GM ... Bern was referring to the bow ... not the 1/2 orc and his sword ... when he asked to examine her 'weapon' <weg>
AJ ... seems like as reasonable a criteria as any <chuckle>

I was tempted to ask Gypsy to change her name to K-something and get Mina to do likewise None of the characters knows any of the others. This is the first time you'll all meet. When you all come up with team names, I'll rename threads. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,482 Likes: 57 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,482 Likes: 57 | Well her surname is Kassan.. with a K | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,960 Likes: 1 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,960 Likes: 1 | <Sigh> Mina dropped from the game. I posted a message looking for another player. Good news is the party is balanced and the game is written for 4 players. | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 47,993 Likes: 1 Moderator | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 47,993 Likes: 1 | Sorry to hear that. Why not just go on with 4 then.

He is my FTF GM but I rarely get chance to play alongside him.. and both of us have really enjoyed the few times we have done so. Shall I ask him? | | |
