@SoraTamashii how're things going?

Sora Tamashii

00:47

Pretty okay. Jobs are a pain, but any functional adult knows that.

Then there's me and I know that too... XD

Shalvenay

@SoraTamashii heheheh, alright here, when do you think your schedule will stabilize?

Sora Tamashii

01:21

I'll probably have an answer to that in about a week. XD I'll let you know as soon as I know what my consistent schedule will be like

Shalvenay

@SoraTamashii cool

@KorvinStarmast unfortunately, I don't think SCAG covers Cuthbert because he's Greyhawk not Faerun

@Miniman you played the Dark Souls Board Game yet?

KorvinStarmast

@Shalvenay Ah,good point, let me do some 1e AD&D research. Get back to you

Miniman

@Ben Not yet :(

Ben

@Miniman It has a different approach to the game. Very team-based, cooperative, and "Optimised". Each player has their role.

Not entirely sure of how the Rogue is meant to work though... still working that out

Very fun though :D

Miniman

What's it like in terms of player count?

Ben

@Miniman 2-4.

Warrior, Knight, Rogue and herald

Miniman

Heh. Cleric made it in but not sorc or pyro...interesting.

Ben

I think the idea is you have the Tank, DPS, healer and glass cannon

Mike Q

@goodguy5 Yep, it's hard to sync up our chat-time schedules :P

Also I couldn't figure out a sensible way to mesh Warlock spell slots with the full caster classes, so let's just avoid that particular combination for now

Miniman

@Ben But...you can't heal other people in Dark Souls! (I mean, unless you have 50 faith, endgame miracles, and an endgame covenant, obviously.)

Ben

Lol. Your "health" bar works of both stamina and HP. When you take actions, it can cost stamina, and when you take damage, it costs health. When they meet, you die.

And when one PC dies, you all go back to the fire

So the cleric initially starts off with an ability to heal 1 stamina for all players, or 6 for one player

Miniman

@Ben Iiiiinteresting.

Ben

05:20

Then later on, as you gain stat increases, you can use better spells

I personally highly recommend it :)

Miniman

05:39

Yeah, I really want to try it, and a friend has it, but is weirdly obsessed with Arkham Horror.

Ben

Well I can't comment there, never played it haha

@MikeQ What do you mean? They're just tacked on, like if you were multiclassing, right?

I have 25 sorcerer slots, and 3 warlock slots, or whatever.

Mike Q

@goodguy5 Ah you want to do sorcerer/warlock?

It's sorta like the super-coffeelock but this is a one-shot so I suppose I shouldn't be too concerned about balance

@goodguy5 One-time discord invite: onetimesecret.com/secret/7c2gb8knnilhjo4ekragvczz8i1mjr0

1 hour later…

goodguy5

16:27

@MikeQ I didn't get the link :(

and what's the makeup right now? I had a few ideas.

One was sorlock, one was critadin. critbearian.
champlock. classic theurge

afk, fyi

Mike Q

16:54

@goodguy5 two cleric-monks, one fighter-sorc I believe

I'll resend the link later

@goodguy5 If you're here now I can send you the roll20 link

goodguy5

17:27

@MikeQ I"m here now

I'd prefer the discord link, though.

can't roll20 at work and I'd have to navigate through mobile

Two skirmishers and a blaster. Interesting.

Critbearian might be a good mix. ooooh. or a bearbearian (druid-barb)!
