Out-of-Character Chat

Hey there! This is for all OoC.

@Green Ice Cream I'm pretty sure you're the last to arrive, your character's entrance should probably reflect that. While your character might not know that, the monk probably will 😁

Can you all see the new game thread I posted?

[Green Ice Cream]

@ArtamenaV  Nice catch. I’d make the appropriate edit, but that topic is locked now.

@Ziminar Is that okay, or is there a way to edit my arrival? And yes, I can see the new game thread. Coolness!

I think it’s ok like this, it is reflected in the first post in the game thread I would say

DM to party: Search through the dark forest for a never before found cave.

Party: Damn - never a ranger around when you need one.

I could buy custom equipment instead of the standard packages

 

@CointhiefSorry I had totally missed that, but that's cool.

[ArtamenaV]

Ahhhh, I don't know how to do checks exactly. I get the gist but what am I supposed to roll?

[Ziminar]

PerceptionRoll a D20 and add your modifier (for the one mentioned in the game thread add the Wisdom modifier) to the result.

there is a dice icon in the editor.

I think I did it?

@Ziminar Quick time check in game. The meeting was at midnight, so we are still looking at not even being 1am yet, correct?

[Ziminar]

That is correct

[ArtamenaV]

@Green Ice Cream were you going outside to talk to Durin if you're following him out? I intend to go out and speak to my dad so if you're out there I'll mention it for continuity.

Since I'm new to the site I'm not sure if players typically create a character sheet and then update that will all the details or they keep updating their application area or some combination of those two.

[Cointhief]

Its probably typical to use both.

Personally having played/DMed 5e for a long time, I don't really need much more than the stat block in my post-to-post template. For example, I've had ability modifiers memorized since like 2001 with 3.0...not boasting, just saying being a dork you can internalize some stuff. The proficiency mods follow an easy pattern as well. So, if I knew I was a 1st fighter with a 16 strength, I know my attack mod is +5. Writing every little thing out is tedious and pointless. Having a thread makes it easy to track purchases and other thoughts.

When I DM I take all the players' important stuff and put it into a table in a spreadsheet. I never look at character sheets after that, other than to update stuff at levels, so as a DM they are also not an everyday tool for me.

But ultimately I just do whatever the DM wants, because their needs are different than mine. Some believe creating a handsome and exhaustive character sheet 'proves' your dedication to their game... XD
