General chatter

[Anastasia]

For anything that needs to be said and doesn't fit anywhere else, use this.

More information will be posted as the night wears on and tomorrow, circumstances have conspired to prevent this from being a smooth roll out.

[Merc]

Level 1 money. Roll starting gold, average for class, or flat DM-fiat sum?

[Anastasia]

Roll or average, your choice.

I've been waiting all week on Cy, but nothing out of him. I heard he's in the middle of a move, so some delay is likely inevitable. Nevertheless, I'd like to start making some progress. Our first session will be on Wednesday, March 7th at 7 PM. I'm not sure on the exact session length yet, but let's try 10 PM this first week and see how it goes.

I'd like all PCs to have sheets done by Tuesday night. If you have any questions about your sheet or concerns, I'll be glad to look them over and answer any questions.

[Anastasia]

To clarify since I somehow wasn't direct about this: Sessions will be on IRC. irc.lunarnet.org; #elysium will be the OOC room and #dunes will be the IC room.

[Anastasia]

Sheets look okay. Iddy, you forgot to apply the bonus spells for a high casting stat. That's the only thing I noticed that was wrong offhand.

[Anastasia]

Reminder! Our first session is tomorrow night, so be ready! Make sure to be in #elysium at 7 PM EST, sharp! Preferably a little earlier if possible.

Hopefully by next week Cy will have his 'net issues worked out.

[Anastasia]

Quick note: While alignment isn't a big deal this game, make sure you have an alignment on your sheet. I do need one to check for certain effects. If you don't care/are in doubt, just put neutral.

[Merc]

Posted one. I thought about outright putting evil, but as you said, I haven't done anything outright such. I wouldn't be shocked if Lucas shifts alignments at any point though.

[Anastasia]

SUBTLE HINT: INVEST IN USE ROPE WITH YOUR NEW BATCH OF PCS.

[Merc]

Never!

[Anastasia]

Scorecard is up. After a TPK I'm pleasantly surprised you managed a positive score. Keep it up!

[Sierra]

I will take this advice under consideration given I won't be running someone with a negative INT mod this time.

[Anastasia]

Outstanding. Any ideas on a class yet?

[Merc]

I was planning on knight, but I may wait to see what the others want to play.

As an aside, can we have the company provide future groups with a wand of CLW?

Do put some sort of restriction on us to keep us from using charges, an expense report or something thematic, just so we don't use the charges up whenever we take 1 dmg.

Basically, something that still continues to encourage us to consider when to use our own spells/abilities if we have them, when to send someone out to Miranda, or just toughening it out, but still having healing available on emergencies (cleric dying and the rest surrounded by goblins, or something).

If you did this, I dunno if you want to keep the turn undead house rule or not, since that was originally for extra healing, but if nobody wants to play cleric, this helps more.
