Gah, I was planning to do a lot of preparation today, but I just got pulled away for 6 hours of absolute bullshit. There goes my free time for today
I think we should establish early on--does the DM care if we work to the best of our abilities to play every moment for laughs, and destroy every piece of his drawn-from-the-heart plot?
No, I don't have a problem with a few curveballs and general hijinks, they're fun, but...
I don't think Kinseti's the type to try to railroad us.
I realize how annoying it is when a DM is trying to railroad the PCs. It is, however, just as annoying when a DM tosses out a couple plot hooks he's planned ahead for and the PCs go "Fuck that, let's start a fight with an important NPC and the run off into the wilderness!" or something. So yeah. It's a balance.
Unarmed Kobolds\Goblins and Small Monsterous Spiders are the standard fare for 1st level characters.
But they're so booooring. It's fun once or twice, but after a certain number of low-level games you just start off thinking, "so, kobold cave or goblin fort this time?", so I generally try pretty hard to not do that for the first adventure. Hope no one will be disappointed by that.
Kinseti said that RP actions, and doing clever things like sneaking about and avoiding conflict will also net us EXP.
Yeah, as long as you're working towards some sort of goal or RPing, I'll be handing out some non-combat exp. I'll also go a little easy with the encounters/traps for the first session so I don't accidentally one-hit-kill a newbie right away. I would feel a little bad if that happened. I'll do my best to keep the veterans interested too, I'll just be playing it by ear I guess.
We either create a free online forum with a chatroom for this, or just add everyone on msn. OOC chat is aways a must for those moments you can't just refrain yourself from saying OMGPWNT.
Is everyone OK with OOC and IC stuff in the gametable chat? The games I play usually have a decent amount of OOC discussion mixed in with the IC and I've never done this online, I figured it would be fine to just keep it all in gametable.
well i was told 1 pm my time so ill go by that, and does anyone have a server i can try to conenct to?
I'll host a server starting now for hopefully a couple hours for anybody who's nervous about getting gametable to work, although I may be AFK for a lot of the time.
