Title: Lost Mines Friday Group
Post by: RogueTaylor on June 19, 2019, 04:11:04 PM
Hello my Friday adventurers, seems to have a bit of bad news. This Friday we might have to postpone since the group will be missing two people, i am sorry to have to postpone it but I would like for most of the group to be there. So far from what I am aware the other two people will be there for the week after so we should have the full 6 then.

is everyone around for say Thursday or Saturday night? Just putting it out there.

Available both Thursday and Saturday.

Post by: RogueTaylor on June 19, 2019, 07:27:22 PM
Player are still not able to make the Thursday and I can not do the Saturday as I will be away for the day with my Gf. Looks like this week we will have to postpone it, am happy to look at doing something else on the Friday if people want to ?

No subs available? I thought there was a little list of those who wanted to play as guests?

So long as the incumbent is happy to let their character be played by a third party then it could work - and given they're all prerolled people should be less territorial over them?

It’s kinda the last option I have, if people want to come forward to play then we can look at doing it, I will be able to send over the character sheets to the subs and give them the basic details. If we don’t have people by Friday morning then I will look at having it still called off

I know I've started this campaign with t'other group but don't mind 'caretaking' a character on Friday and not proactively contributing to the plan to keep it generic if that would help. Claire's away this week so I'm kicking my heels (and Atlas'ing).

Sure pen, if no one else is free or wants to do it then I am sure this group would love to have you take over either the rogue or the wizard. Like you said it would be best for you to take a step back when plans come about even with this group already doing thing very different to the other group

Post by: Gorion on June 20, 2019, 07:08:11 AM
I can run multiple characters at once without any issues, if its possible in FG.
Would prefer to take over the wizard, but can use any class.
Title: Lost Mines Friday Group
Post by: Gortex on June 20, 2019, 09:50:41 AM
I think if we have 4 of us still around and your still ok to run as DM on Friday night RT then we should go ahead and play.

The wizard has yet to be played officially so I don't see this being a big impact for someone like Pen or a guest player to take over for the night and perhaps play a less involved role. Also this being just a testing campaign with pre generated characters to learn the game and system I don't think it has the same impact for guest players to run someones character for the night. Obviously if they level or something like that then they will need to leave this to the lead player to make the choices etc.

Been really looking forward to the next round all week so not going ahead will be a shame.

Post by: RogueTaylor on June 20, 2019, 11:09:03 AM
I am more then happy to run the game, if pen wants in then that will be brilliant. I just didn't want to run the game as well as then having to do two extra characters, i don't want to be talk through out the whole night :lmfao: I am Not sure how it would work Gorion but i can have a look into it since you know more about the wizard then i do. So if that works and you are willing then the group would have a decent wizard who knows the spells and how to use them. Level up in the first few levels isn't anything to serious to worry about its more a case of on your character sheets it does tell you what you get when you level up, Gorion is the only one who doesn't but he is the most knowledge about it anyway so not worry about him at all :D

I can carry a character if it helps. I promise not to mention either of the dragons or the zombie giant spider rampage.

That would be awesome smilo, if you and pen join we would have a full party, You then would have the chance to see how other classes might work, there isn't to much difference at this level but still nice to see how each work.

Unless you kill together :P I think that’s the rules but thanks both of you for stepping up and helping this group get through there session.

No worries bud I understand that things like that come way before a session of D&D. I will look at seeing if anyone wants to sub in for the night, if not I will have to run your ranger.

Oh also a side night me and holly was able to sort out the fog of war last night so that will be in place from now on

Can't wait to see what awaits us after we get off the cart and look at the dead horses, pretty sure that's where we got to.

I blame Sulky for making us turn around and go back to see if he'd left the gas on at home.

Title: Lost Mines Friday Group
Post by: Penfold on June 20, 2019, 07:57:03 PM
I played Tuesday so am more than happy to relinquish my subbing in. Probably better in any case due to my prescience.

Over to you Rogue to call.
Title: Lost Mines Friday Group
Post by: RogueTaylor on June 20, 2019, 08:50:32 PM
I honestly don’t mind either way, the only thing being you know the system. I am more hen happy to show sneaky how to use it all but I know it can be a bit of a bore and slow down for others players. Like I said though I honestly don’t mind who plays
Title: Lost Mines Friday Group
Post by: RogueTaylor on June 20, 2019, 10:34:32 PM
@Smilo@penfold one of them members of Friday group is able to do it so I will only need a single person to join us tomorrow, I don’t mind which of you it will be as I am sure you will both be awesome. But the wizard is now able to play so all we need is a fill in for the rogue
Title: Lost Mines Friday Group
Post by: Penfold on June 21, 2019, 01:58:47 AM
Oh cool. I'll duck out and hand over to Smilo.

Smilo - you're a rogue now so none that righteous indignation. :flirty:
Title: Lost Mines Friday Group
Post by: RogueTaylor on June 21, 2019, 08:27:37 AM
Thanks pen !

Yeah smilo you are now playing a female halfling rogue, who doesn’t trust people and is more then happy to try and steal most things.  I will explain the story to you when we start but is a bit similar to the one you have played.

Probably easy to play those kind of  characteristics for Smilo :roflmao:

Big thanks for those stepping in to play and cant wait to start. 7pm will be on coms with beer ready to go.

Looking to be on coms a bit early but should be pretty much ready to start straight away, I will do a quick recap of previous events and then we can hop straight into it

2 positions available for the Friday group, we have the elf wizard and a halfling male fighter. I would like for at least one of these to be filled to save me Dming and playing 2 characters. Due to reasons of being away we need some new players to give this a try, if you are interested then please let me know

I can try and make Friday. Last time I played was 3rd edition and that was a long old time ago now...

I'm more old school. I'd rather not get in the way, but if you need someone to fill in as the actor for a character, i'd gladly do that.

If you are willing to give 5E a go then feel free to join us, there are a good few in the party learning the rules and then we have people like sulky that know he older editions and is learning the new rules that I play by. When we play just simply ask me what you want to do and I will do what I can to fit it into the rules. I know things like “charge” is something that people try to use but it doesn’t exist in 5E I am sorry to say.

Good session last night ! You really did spill a river of blood and with only one member going down so very well done. Next week our honourable Count Gortex isn’t available, he has asked if we can skip next week until he is back. I am more then happy to do either, if the group want to continue then we will do or if they would like to wait then we can. I am happy for either of these I just need to group to let me know. Thanks adventurers

I am sorry to say lads I will not be able to make this Friday next session. I have a weekend off and the gf would like to go away and spend a bit of time together and just get away from here for a bit. I feel it’s only fair since she has helped a lot with this whole D&D thing and has been understanding of me doing this and it taking up a good portion of my time. So I am sorry to let you all down.

On another note if people are free another night this week or next week that isn’t this Friday or Saturday then let me know and I will be more then happy to Dm for you. More then happy to do Sunday if people are also free. Let me know and thanks
Title: Lost Mines Friday Group
Post by: Gortex on July 30, 2019, 09:44:02 AM
Totally understand dude and not to worry. We might need to change the date and time of the Friday group for the next 2 weeks as we also have the Beer Festival on the 9th which is also a Friday.

I could do Thursday or Sunday if this helps and is ok with others.

As of this current moment, we will have 4 out of the 6 players for tonight. I can’t get ahold of lib and I would hate to do a session without him knowing or giving permission to go without him. So, for now, I will keep my schedule open.
