To satisfy all your chatting desires.

Greetings fellow explorers!

Ulle here is a Kellid of the Great Tusk following, come down from the north as a refugee of sorts after being forced out of Numeria.

My first time really sitting down with 2e, and having played 1e a lot I may get a little confused from time to time, so please bear with me!

The biggest difference in the actual gameplay is that the ideas of "standard action" and "move action" and "full-round action" are gone. You get three "actions" per round. You can do whatever you want with them: move three times, attack three times, cast a spell and fire your crossbow (most spells are 2 actions), move attack and retreat, whatever. The only real limitation is that if you attack several times in one round, the later attacks take a "multiple attack penalty", which is analogous to the old iterative attacks.

There are many numerical differences but nothing else anywhere near as major in the system itself, and nothing that will really surprise you too much.

Welcome! I will be taking up the role of the local Druid. I speak for the trees!

Hello all,

I plan on playing a rough and tumble lightly armored striker type. Probably a ruffian rogue. I like skill ranks!

Are we live? I see a Wilkezag post, but not sure whether I should join in!

I haven't see much of anything from Dubh as far as character creation, but please feel free to introduce yourselves in-character as Wilkezag did. I think it's time to get this party started!

Now that's an entrance, Ulle!

Thanks Sophia!

Sorry about the GM. Will try to stick with present tense going forward.

I'm really loving all of these introductions! I'll give Dubh until late this evening to come in, but after that I'll move the action inside and let Lady Jamandi explain herself.

I wasn't sure if I should post or not as I don't have everything nailed down yet.

I will go introduce myself

Argh had a post on the go but you beat me to it, GM. Will add to it later, lovely start.

PS... I've played at least the first chapter of the King maker computer game. I presume most of us have! That's not going to be a problem, is it?

Eh, it's not like the upcoming PLOT TWIST!1!!11!! is really that much of a surprise, let's be clear. You'll probably recognize some of the people at this party.

Did I miss my chance to recall knowledge on the Pale elven woman?

Yes, but I'll give it to you this time since I did give you less than 24 hours to respond. You won't get as much with a pre-encounter check as you would by actually spending a round Discovering things about her, but you'll get something if you roll high.

sorry for wasting our time. blasted dice roller.

Sitting on an 8, a 2 and a 9 so far. Which wouldn't be so bad ... if I was rolling d10s.

GM rolled me a 14 so that's nice. I should have you roll for me all the time!

Wilkezag can tell you about the time I spent 2/3 of an in-person game rolling one of his stupid d20-shaped d10s for everything instead of an actual d20. I was playing a paladin at the time, so I actually could hit on a 5 sometimes, but man that was a frustrating afternoon.
