Civilizations Long Lost: The Campfire - Discussion Thread

Here be the discussion thread.

In response to my previous post regarding waiting for more players, I suppose it would be the simplest to simply ask people already present: what is your stance on this? We could start earlier if you desire so.

Desdendelle and Stygian Emperor haven't made characters yet, but I think everyone else who's posted in the signup has.

Maybe just one more bump/last call to see who wants to make a character, then start the game tomorrow? Maybe also make it easy for stragglers to join when the game starts.

I would say if they haven't submitted characters by the weekend then start. They can always join later.

Alright. If there won't happen anything extraordinary we'll start by evening today. :)

Cool. Probably won't post until tomorrow or Friday though because I'll be busy.

We welcome all candidates. The expedition has begun.

Is it okay if, before I start playing I add Sword to his weapons skills and Saber to his equipment list?

I'll try to do a GM post by today's evening. Sorry for the delay, I don't seem to be able to focus myself enough. ^_^;

Any questions regarding the RP itself?

Aye, be there a chance o' crossover with an Azure vessel?

Well, both are in separate worlds, so I don't think such a case would stand.

Also, terribly sorry for not posting yet. I can't seem to be able to focus properly on a post.

Making this a double-post, but...

Should I do a timeskip and skip right to the expedition's start?

Go for it.

Don't worry about double-posts when you're running the show. I've been in more games that have stopped from a lack of GM involvement than the other way around. Not that latter is good either, but.... by Tyr... those poor, poor gnomes...

Um, nevermind, went on a tangent there.

Go ahead. It's a given that we're signing up and will be accepted. Anyone who hasn't posted yet can either be met along the road or assumed to have joined.

When listing his qualifications I forgot that Eidny is "a damned good tracker, if I do say so myself". Should I add it in or just gave it be something he forgot/didn't mention for his own reasons.

We gonna just keep walking around in the desert, or are we getting somewhere?

I'll get on that, don't worry. ^_^;

@Card-changing: I'd rather we don't add stuff. Surely we can manage around it.

The tracking was already in his character if you're talking to me, he just neglected to mention it when asked for his qualifications.

Ah. My bad.

But yeah, he kinda chose an inopportune moment for that revelation, didn't he? ^_^;

What are the fifteen or so NPCs that came along doing? Or did we leave without a full group against the Federation's wishes?

I assume they're somewhere in the background. They're not really needed for now, so there's no point in me trying to roleplay fifteen people at once. ^_^;

Doubleposting, but there's a thing I'd like to say.

Starting from tomorrow my internet availability might become severely limited for somewhere around a week and hopefully not any longer. I know I'm not the most active of GM's there are, but I'll try to keep making posts so the plot and the wacky adventures in the desert can continue with no pause. :)

Possession from the strange orb: yay or nay?

I'm a little confused exactly what "Feel free to push the plot on your own with your findings" means.
