And given the text box area is a relatively small one, I'm not sure it makes sense for it to be the focus.

@NautArch I'm not planning to use formal maps, but I'd like something like a whiteboard for freeform drawing

@kviiri Google hangouts?

or whatever they're calling it now

That's one option, yes. (There's free whiteboard services out there too, it's not like we have to get everything out of a single box even if that'd be the most convenient)

i've got a meeting app we can use, too.

But serious question: what time would we do this. Day is flexible, but finding a time that works for all could be tricky.

We are UTC+3 (and UTC+2 in the Winter, Helsinki time)

we're looking at something like ten hours of difference?

It's tricky but doable on my part at least – although we'll have to focus on the weekends.

(I'm on a holiday for a few weeks more and have the luxury of relatively flexible hours anyway, but I'd prefer not stretching things too much)

Yeah, if we do weekend, I'm not really available during the day (heck, not really on the weekday either.)

But evenings are early morning/overnight for you.

You're 7 hours ahead of me.

and I think 8 hours ahead of Korvin

I could maybe do early morning, at least occasionally :>

not sure about my compatriots

many of my friends lead a bohemian lifestyle of late evenings

...it's 3:10 AM and here I am, so I'm not to judge.

sweet jiminy cricketts

get some sleep!

I'll be bailing to bed soon, yes :D don't be surprised if I stop responding

g'night!

nighty o/

Oh, we might have a necromancer in the party

I secretly hope the last guy picks a magey type as well. You could be a coven of four different magical traditions

Nite, and no tank. 8^0

@KorvinStarmast Hmm, I could tune the sorcerer for close quarters

sweet

got to look into a bit more, but pretty sure I can

I need to rethink my battle cries and songs, will send you the next draft after I have puzzled over things

Hehe :) The Bard is a super cool class

I think this is the first character, no joke, that I had a concept before building.

@KorvinStarmast @NautArch At this time it looks like we'll have a Bard, a Necromancer, a Sorc and a Commander

I love the setup :D

@NautArch the 13th Age bard is unironically awesome

So in session 0 you'll get to hash out why we have two mages, a bard and a commander working together, I have so many good ideas but I don't want to push anything on you

Are there any icon relationships we should be avoiding?

Just asking because the module I'm looking suggests a certain relationship to not be there :)

@NautArch Not really, except positive relationships with villainous icons although if you have a good explanation, I can live with it :)

The Prince of Shadows, I should mention, is one where if you have an icon relationship with him I want you to fill in some of his motives that are I guess deliberately meant to be somewhat cryptic :P

Did not pick the Prince.

Final caveat, although I won't enforce it I suggest being a bit flexible with the ultimate values so we can adjust them in Session Zero to be more cohesive if it feels like a good way forward. It shouldn't be necessary, though, seeing how the heroic and ambiguous icons are mainly quite content to leave each other be

or downright allied

Yeah, that's fine. I've been debating if my relationships are conflicted or positive. Kinda split the difference in a way I think makes sense, but open to change.

Wanna share them now or later?

sure, i'm still finalizing my sheet, but Archmage (3 positive), High Druid (1 conflicted)

Sounds good!

@kviiri Weird, Sorcerer's don't get any boost for light armor. It's the same as no armor.

II'm doubting my ability to go close :P

nevermind, realized I picked spell fist, gives me an extra 2 AC for 15. I think I can roll with that.

@kviiri woo hoo!

@kviiri @NautArch I revised my sheet last night, will forward to you both, but there is some more cleaning up I need to do.

I had to finish taxes this week, arrgghhh.... cuts into game stuff ... evil taxes ...

@KorvinStarmast i'm still making some changes to my choices. Not positive i want ot take a talent i had previously chosen.

You good with my Icon relationships/choices? I think none of them is extreme.
