Friends and Nemeses

Hey guys I have been pondering a better way to track initiative so I built and initiative tracker which displays at the top of the discussion forums. Please feel free to play around with it and let me know; how you like it, if you have any issues; if I should adapt the code to work in multiple games (i.e would you like to be able to use the same system in other games), if you would prefer to do the standard who's turn is it thread.

I like this idea because it records the usernames of who has gone automatically and the user updates it when they have gone by selecting the next button. Too often I find out I am waiting on players who think they have already gone while I think they have not.

@swrider I'm on the fence between playing a half-orc druid Sheppard or a half-orc barbarian ancestral spirit totem warrior.

I already have background and backstory picked out for him, he will be a folk hero exiled from his homeland after trying to lead a failed people's revolution against a colonizing power. His goal will be to someday find a way back home from exile and complete the revolution which he started.

From the background you gave I think barbarian fits better. Druids don't usually want to return to civilization preferring to be in more isolated or wilderness areas. Both are good and you could potentially multi-class if you desired.

I like it. Is there anyway to edit it? I see it says not in structured time currently. Is that a GM change or preset?

Did using it stop a player from being able to post in the thread? I hit next and tried to type a response and I can't hit submit haha. It might have just been me?

Yes you can change it. The page is not ornate but if you click on the update button it will take you to a page to update it. It will acomodate upto 10 characters.

No it would not stop someone from posting... it is just an image and two urls. lol

Feel free to play around with changing it.

Ok everyone, I have updated the initiative tracker to be able to accept multiple campaigns. The one in this forum is for this game. Their is one in the republic Senate Forum set to test. If you would like to keep playing around with it, please use that one. I also fixed a bug, that is explained in the republic senate forum.

Upon read the various posts and the amount of close-in melee battlers we now have I may make the change to a rogue, something we are desperately missing from the party in my opinion.

Parties change all the time and missing skills can be filled in with NPCs if needed. I would't worry to much about party balance. If you think you would enjoy playing a rogue just as much go ahead. Also Awarren has dropped the fighter idea he is going straight cleric.

I'll try to get my character finished this weekend. It's been a "fun" week at work.

Sorry to hear that. Several people are still working on theirs though so their is not a huge rush. While IC play has begun It is just introductory stuff and not something that characters need to be involved in. Or need to be finished to be involved in should I say. I will halt play before I require any checks or anything like that. So if you have your characters personality class/race picked out feel free to join in. If you arn't sure on those things I wouldn't just yet as you may decide to play your character differently once you have those things finalized.

I know the feeling, we have a teacher out at my work on paternity leave and he didn’t make a good lesson plan for the long term sub who is a friend of mine, and the sub had to walk out from the thing so now they got me subbing in there instead of doing my normal job as intervention.

Good luck! I admire teachers, if only for their ability not to strangle other people's children.

It can be a struggle let me tell you lol

A word of caution. This starting wealth is if you do not take the starting equipment packs. You can either take the starting equipment outlined in the quick build (weapon armor exploerer pack) or you can take the starting gold and have to buy everything.

Oops! Guess I need to minus 10 gold from my character.

Amongst other useful world notes in the NPC forum, I just uploaded a kingdom map.

Any ideas for the name of the kingdom.

Beachmoor perspective. A small circle for Klavenjassen. We were supposed to be on the outskirts of the Kingdom. Also need a location for that necropolis.

Their is a symbol on the map for the city. It is on the outskirts near the water. The entire map is the kingdom.

I have one in mind but have not yet added it. Its location is not well known and does not play into the initial mission. The retrieval and return of the bodies is the most important thing.

@DS necropolise location added. Made text for locations more legible.

@swrider I finished the character's backstory, I left some of the details vague so that you could use them how you would like for the story, hope that helps, let me know if there is anything I need to change.

Sunday comics gave me a possible name for the country. Foreignvania.
