Cities Skyline has soaked up like 95% of my video gaming time, so that's me lately. With everyone playing Rise, that'll probably change soon.

@Necroes Normal starting wealth, either roll or take standard. And how does everyone feel about Point Buy?

@Dark Cloud

PB is boring, but generally speaking it is the most fair. Gives more options than set stats. It's OK.

As for what I'm playing, I'm gonna wait to see what everyone else conceptualizes first but I have a few ideas floating I should finalize. Only thing for certain is probably going to be a femme character.

@TGM I mean, we're essentially doing a session zero, right now. Discussing everyone's expectations of the game, what everyone wants to play and who they want their character to be, what we all want out of the game.

We're doing a PbP format, so it's not like we're all going to sit down at a table for an actual session zero. Even when we had a live-chat going, not everyone could be there all at the same time. Which was fine, specifically because this is a PbP format.

@Necroes

I'm aware. I'm trans, not stupid.

Lost Mine Of Phandelver (D&D 5e) (CLOSED)

I agree, actually. I just don't think it would massively impact the scaling of the combats if we started at level 2. It's just a lot less likely for a random critical hit to one-shot a frontliner.

@Necroes

I like the lethality but I'm just one opinion. That's why we do session zeroes.

If we are doing Phandelver I'd prefer it to start where its supposed to start.

We should also consider Phandelver was designed, as a module, for level 1. I suggest re-reading the module/path itself again, and see if you want to make changes to it to make it more interesting or not.

@Dark Cloud Might I recommend not starting us at level 1? Most classes really gain momentum around level 3, and working up to that from level 1 just feels like a slog.

@Necroes

I'd prefer starting at level 1. Feels like a proper journey, that said for the story of Phandelver 2-4 does make sense given character backstories of being relatively capable adventurers guarding a caravan and all.

Snowed "Inn" - A Wintery SoL RP [Full]

I'm thinking of using a Bridgit Mendler FC, assuming everything works out on my end.

I also recommend checking out Solasta, its a bit more low budget but it has a lot of heart for a game trying to be successful the same time as games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Wrath of the Righetous which also have a lot more marketing.

Washington State is certainly more damp than Michigan consistently, but Michigan has a flurry of weather shifts due to its location with a lot of flash freezing. One time I went to wipe snow off my rear windshield and the windshield shattered by merely touching it. That was not a fun day. For the maple syrup drinkers, it was like -34.4 ℃ with wind chill or something. It was like three years ago so my memory is spotty.

States? HA! I live in a province and an island! British Columbia represent!

@Dark Cloud

don't care didn't ask
