zazamz12 Posted November 20, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hey y'all! Apologies, been swamped with work and school lately. Will get a post in today, soon-ish 😅 Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X51 Posted November 21, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted November 21, 2022 @Couch Potato Rex You still around? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Potato Rex Posted November 22, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 22, 2022 Sorry, everything in RL got turned upside down and I completely forgot about the game. I'd love to stay, but I don't think that's realistic on my part. Hope you all have fun and I'll try again later when I have some free time again!

Also, for the rest of you, here's the link to the Roll20 table. Set your display name to your character name, and I'll get the proper sheet assigned to you (I've already filled them out and such).

emceeBeatdown Posted November 26, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 26, 2022 the Roll20 thing is optional right? I'd rather not link accounts in this way. I'd prefer to keep this play by post Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X51 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted November 26, 2022 Correct, entirely optional. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X51 Posted November 27, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) What I'm learning is that the 3-rank cap at 1st level is a little rough, and there's maybe a little bit of punishment happening for not min-maxing. As a reminder, you do have Luck Points, which allow you to reroll 1d20 on a test you've already rolled (among other things, as noted in the Mechanics section). Since this is a learning game, I'm gonna be generous and have Luck Points refresh at the start of Acts 2 and 3. All of the acts are pretty short, so don't be shy about using the Luck Points, if you'd like!

LarsWester Posted November 28, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 28, 2022 Dropping a note to say that my schedule is returning to normal. Last week was an ordeal of sick kids and no sleep. So I should get an in character post up soon as I catch up. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zazamz12 Posted November 29, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hey y'all. Apologies for how slow I've been lately. Class has been picking up with finals coming soon, so I haven't had much time to play. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the rolls I've been getting, at any rate, even 100% optimised stats would have made virtually no difference. 😛 And this in spite of my feeling that I put together a somewhat min-max-ish character in the first place!

X51 Posted December 1, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted December 1, 2022 I think it's just gonna feel weird that rolling high is bad for a bit. Historically, I've bent over backwards a bit too much to fudge things for players, but I feel like I'm finding better ways to mitigate poor rolls, like spreading out the successes of others. I've also been playing a ton of RimWorld lately, which is actually doing a lot to help my tolerance of failure and acceptance of limited story control (not that anyone asked).
