TRPG General Chat

Heh thanks

@RedRiderX Any ideas/insights/opinions/criticisms/compliments are welcome.

@BESW On your campaigns?

Or Storium in general; it's a system I'm still wrapping my head around.

Heh yeah I don't think I understand it all yet either :P

Part of the purpose of my current campaigns is to see what it's good and bad at, and where it breaks.

My idea is that once it goes public I'll put together a couple large campaigns for friends who I normally can't do RPGs with because of schedule or location challenges.

Old players from college in the mainland, local players whose families and jobs keep them from joining my Saturday night games, folks on rpg.se from around the world...

@BESW Yeah it seem like the ultimate play-by-post platform

Just enough inbuilt structure to give it movement and form, but not invasive enough that you can't ignore it and go totally freeform if you want to.

One of the premade settings that'll come with the public release is Ursula Vernon's "Weird Fruit" world, and I'm really looking forward to that.

@waxeagle, @Emrakul This question says he's from math.se, but his rpg.se account isn't attached to any other se account at all. Is that something moderators help with, and if so how?

wax eagle

@BESW he can fix it, he needs to make sure his same open ID is on both accts.

1:37 AM

@waxeagle What's the process for doing that? Can I describe it succinctly in a comment?

@BESW Suggestion noted :)

BTW, have you seen the current Atlantean Destiny scene?

@BESW I have!

It pleases me.

I saw M4's post, though at the moment I'm at a loss for what I should have Fritjof do. I might have him climb up to the deck with some.... weaponry....

(I will do that, actually. I am no longer at a loss for what I should have Fritjof do. :D)

@JonathanHobbs ...is he going to shoot out the building so you don't crash into it?

2:34 AM

Building, flying dinosaurs if they're attacking, y'know, sources of existential threat in general

@BESW It's something the user has to do, but there's a pretty simple way to do it.

If you add a login that already exists on Stack Exchange, the system will automagically merge the accounts.

I've done it once when I accidentally used an old email to create a new account, and once more when I changed emails.

Thanks.

Q: How do I change my OpenID provider(s)?

I no longer use the service that I originally used to register, and would like to change my OpenID provider to another account, or at least add a second account. Is this possible? How do I change my OpenID provider or associate a backup OpenID? For more information, see "How do I add or remo...

@JonathanHobbs You've had several times now where you started crafting a Storium move and by the time you were done the scene had moved on, right?

I think that's an issue we should try to resolve.

Do you think that maybe a sidebar comment like "I have an idea for what to do next, but it'll take me some time to write. Please give me X hours/days before you make a move" would be appropriate/effective?

Behold! A question which legitimately uses dnd-3.5e and dnd-4e.

Magician

@BESW Too bad I can't think of a more detailed answer than "he got left out, sorry."

Who did the Raven Queen kill to get the cushy "curator of souls" job? I get all the 3.5 gods with undeath portfolios mixed up.

Yup, it was Nerull.

Magician

Oh, interesting. I didn't think there was much of a continuation between Points of Light and Greyhawk-lite.

A: What happened to Nerull in 4e?

Aaand answered.

1

Nerull's mortal consort killed him and acquired his portfolio. She's now known as the Raven Queen. However, due to... reasons... the gods revoked her authority over the dead, so her powers are focused on death itself. More details can be found in Divine Power and Manual of the Planes.

Q: If the Raven Queen claimed Nerull's portfolio, why isn't she a goddess of undeath?

4:49 AM

@JonathanHobbs [poke]

As this answer outlines, the Raven Queen was a mortal until she killed Nerull and took his stuff. Why is her portfolio different from his, then? She's got Winter and Fate (Nerull didn't), but doesn't have Nerull's signature Undeath schtick; instead she safeguards the sanctity and finality of deat...

dnd-4e religions-and-deities

@BESW Good answer :)

Isn't someone like Orcus or Vecna attempting to take the portfolio of the Dead, now that it's kinda up for grabs?

I'm not exactly sure.

Vecna's Undeath, and various gods and demons rule over various afterlives.

Aha, Vecna's who I was thinking of then.

Undead are, after all, different to the dead, I suppose.
