Somehow, I totally missed that. On the map of Wetterhod I have now draw a wall around the area that holds the Barn, Sentry Tree and the Five Workshop/Homes. With two gates.

Put some labels on the Wetterhod Map as well.

I just add to and updated IC post #9. Sorry, I always think of something to add hours later. But I'll try not to do that if someone has posted IC after I have. That's why I prefer this style of Rpging online. Then say like how it's done on Virtual Table Top sites like Roll 20 or Fantasy Ground. Plus you post anytime you are able. Rather than a scheduled 3 0r 4 hour time block.

1) How do we roll dice on skills so both the player and GM can see the rolls?

I don't think I specified who Aganu's family and friends are. Aganu would certainly want to check on them--but who are they? Would you prefer I come up with names and basic descriptions, or would you prefer to do that?

3) How close to our home are we?

Thanks!

If everyone would send me their email I'll get you on the dicelog.

You can specify family and friends. You cannot specify their location or fate during the attack.

You are three quarters of a mile away right now.

You may not specify another pcs relationship with your mother, given they have a pre-existing relationship that existed before you made your character.

I thought your home was on the edge of the village?

I would urge you to be very cautious about assuming or trying to dictate the location of a dependent during the attack. Or a contact, for that matter.

I'm not sure where you're getting teleporting from. Did I say something confusing? The mystery of how the defenses failed is just that: a mystery to be solved.

Please either tone down the in character insults or make it clear they are only in character.

What! I'm the one who invited Fenian's Mother and suggested that Anoras had been a student of hers. To which her Player agreed.
So in no way is what you wrote above true.

I thought your home was on the edge of the village?

No, how would she get anything done if it was convenient for villagers to just drop by anytime they had a hangnail or runny nose. The Village can signal her that there is a emergency by placing 3 lite torches spread apart above the fort's northern gate. It only takes her less then 15 minutes to make it to the village. 10 minutes if Finian is also in the canoe paddling.

I would urge you to be very cautious about assuming or trying to dictate the location of a dependent during the attack. Or a contact, for that matter.

His Family does certain things on certain days of the week and moon cycle. So everyone in the family knows what the other is doing. If they do not return on time. They know in general where to go looking for them. In case they have been injured.

I'm not sure where you're getting teleporting from. Did I say something confusing? The mystery of how the defenses failed is just that: a mystery to be solved.

In IC #5, Kentwick said. "The Scorcerors came from by Daunhid's house (the south east) and they left that way too". What else can that be other than a Rapid Journey Spell? If they were teleporting, they wouldn't have to return the exact place they arrived at.

Please either tone down the in character insults or make it clear they are only in character.
Fenian has known Anoras since he was five and she ten. When she first started being a student of his Mother. She would know his family's schedule almost as well as he did. The only way to explain her confusion was her either being in Shock or having had a head injury. I was roleplaying my PC, what makes you think I, my PC's Player was attempting to insult Anoras's Player??? I know he himself wouldn't know any details of the training his PC would of received from Fenian's Mother, Rhiannon. Or would know what Anoras knows about her Teacher's household. So I'm telling her Player that information by roleplaying as I have. Information his PC would now. Tell me how else could I of accomplish that???

Interesting that I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping that, as long as no one had yet responded, tweaking what I wrote would be OK. I admit I didn't actually check though.

I tend to go by, "As long as the GM lets me do it, it''s OK! But ultimately, the GM's Word is Law."

Within the game, these are of course the GM's call.

Personally, I'm fine with the five year/ten year thing. I let Valornor know to let me know what was wanted, and I would likely go along with it.

As for the "insulting," I took that as being in character. Anoras was irritated by it; I was amused, and saw what Valornor was doing. Again, it's the GM's call, but personally i'm fine with it.

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 
I somehow missed this errant sentence 'The Scorcerors came from by Daunhid's house (the south east) and they left that way too.' In the middle of my first response up above in Post #84. It has been removed. That must of been really confusing. So you my want to give it another look.

Alden Loveshade, I'm glad to hear you understood what I was trying to do with me roleplaying my PC the way I was.

There should be at least a half a dozen or more healers in the Village. Older women who were taught by the one who taught Rhiannon. As well as students she has had besides Anoras. Those who cannot use Mana, training would be over in two and a half years or so. With there now only being two or three in a generation that have the ability to manipulate Mana and receive a further 3 years of training. Perhaps there is a Sick House in the Village where those healers see villagers on a daily basis. With Rhiannon only seeing the worse cases when she comes twice a week. As well as review other cases and do refresher training etc.

How's this for the Hauden days of the week. Sunday, Moonday, Earthday, Waterday, Fireday, Windrday, Starsday?

As a player, GM, and sometimes GURPS author, I certainly appreciate your concern. I agree that it's wise to work to prevent possible problems early on. And while I've been a GM for a long time, you've had a lot more experience running play by post in a public forum than I have! I can understand that clarifying these things can be very important, especially in a public forum with players who might not otherwise even know each other.

As for me personally, I'm not bothered by the "insulting" in-character comments.

It's of course up to the GM ericthered to decide how that's handled, especially as this is not a "historically accurate" game. But my understanding is that historically the "cunning folk," those who had a good degree of medical knowledge who often also dealt with "witchcraft," were pretty rare.

Again it's of course up to the GM, but I like it. And our Sunday and Monday apparently do come from "Sun day" and "Moon day." I'd be tempted to make "Friday" "Fireday" due to the similarity in the words.

It would sure would be nice if you three other Players could find a picture to represent your PC. It really adds a lot to game emersion. An it's not that hard to do. It's easy as can be io get a Imgur account. It's super easy to download pictures from your Picture file io your accounts file. By opening it up clicking on it and sliding it over to it.

I am here, though I made my character rather late, so lacks the crazy detailed entertained backstory

Honestly, I very rarely have an image for a character I'm playing in an RPG. If it would help you, you're free to look for something that fits my character description, and run it by me.

Going down to her hut is a great course of action. But I generally need what you do, and not what the results are. And OCC, your sister is in trouble, and your character has a lot of information to find.
OOC: It's hard to understand your confusion. If you had looked at the Village Map for more than one second. The areas that I mention in my last IC post are all clearly labeled on it. And you should know exactly where the two female members of Fenian's Family are at. Which is examining:

Hopefully I'm not stepping out of line here. If I am, I apologize.

But ericthered is the Gamemaster (GM) for Warriors of Haunden. I believe ericthered is diplomatically trying to remind you of that fact

Typically in GURPS or, for that matter, virtually any role-playing game I've played, the GM's word is law. And in most cases, a player only had the right to say what their character is doing (although they may offer suggestions.) And the GM can overrule what a player says their character is doing. ("Your character planned to walk straight to the village as usual. But he didn't know that....")

And as for the Village Map, I've looked at it for more than one second. But in regard to what's going on here, I am confused.

By the book, "Luck: Once per hour of play, you may reroll a single bad die roll twice and take the best of the three rolls!"

So how does Luck work in Warriors of Haunden?

If I had to guess based on the other PBFs Eric is running:
-> Session = 3 Hours
-> 1 Hour = 20 Posts per Player

Therefore: 1 Hour in Haunden is 60 posts.

By that an hour is 40 posts. The session would be 160 posts, if we cared. Thanks for bringing up Session, because that let me know what to search for.



I should probably type this up on my blog. Its a problem I've worked with for a while and it comes up quite a bit.

But I'm not sure I understand. Does that after every 40 posts by players/GM in Warriors of Haunden means I can use Luck again?

yes, and the posts are numbered, which makes it convenient to track. If you use in post 40, you can't use it again until 81. If the posts get particuarly short/aimless, I may stretch out the number temporarily or permanently.

The second time it asks for the login you should see a single radiobutton for the game underneath... at least that's what I see. For whatever reason it does ask for the login again, on my browser it autofills.

Thanks. I was able to roll dice since then. But for me the radiobutton for the game doesn't come up unless I look for it.

Part of the issue for me is a perceptual/vision issue, and part is the security I use. I've done work as a journalist and have had some connections to investigative work. So I use a doubly secure Internet connection. A lot of websites don't like that.

We're not only avenging the dead who no longer need what rations they had, we're traveling to save the living. I would think people would be more than willing to help us out with getting rations. I would suggest both of you check while I finish analyzing the tracking of our enemies and our people that I have done."
I was going to post that, as Anoras has Miserliness, if I didn't make the roll she was going to "haggle and complain interminably" over the price of rations. But before I posted that, I thought to "hunt for the best deal possible" would be not spending any money on food at all! As that worked, I didn't need to roll.

But I forgot to specify that. Sorry about that.

In any case, we did get food for free, so I guess it won't change anything in game play anyway. I just wanted to let you know my thoughts.

In any case, we did get food for free, so I guess it won't change anything in game play anyway. I just wanted to let you know my thoughts.
Good catch.

200 yards is -12

Due to her low skill 16, that would be 4. Unlikely.

She can aim, gets it to 7. Still really bad.

Aiming for 3 rounds and doing an all out attack gets it to a less awful 10

that is (assuming she makes her fast draw roll) 1 round to ready bow, 3 to aim, 1 to lose. During which she is a sitting duck for enemy fire. But seems the best bad option so is what intend to do

I rather hate to post this now that we're getting to the action. Without going into details, I may not be online for a bit. I wish I could say how long, but I honestly don't know.

If it will drag things out, ericthered has my permission to treat my character as an NPC until I return.

Yes, sorry. Thad is just going to ready an attack for if someone reaches him for now

Is there any Basic Set way to taunt enemies?

You can always taunt your enemies!

If you want to force a reaction as a result of taunting that sounds like fast talk.

Remember language barriers.

Fair enough. Remembering Basic Set stuff is hard

I will have to wait to post until monday. Still waiting for Rainy Day's reaction though.

Wait, are they throwing Fireballs, or Explosive Fireballs? If it's explosive, I should be able to dive out of the blast. If not, I should be able to Dodge.

This is an innate attack with area effect.

What's the range between Thad and the skeleton that attacked him? Can he step and attack this round? Or does he need to take a move action?

3 yards... its a long pole.... I was actually surprised by the statistic myself.


So Thad would need to move 2 yards to get anyone in attack range.

Finally get to deal out some punishment, instead of just taking it!

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 
I am running out of ideas here. If I try to aim a long time, I am likely to have my shot ruined by being hit, and dodging automatically ruins aim

I could try to get into melee range, which is 14 seconds of running. I am not sure how much longer Thad is going to last. Also need to either stow or drop bow to get shield out

Continuing to all out dodge is better for staying not hit potentially and seems to be drawing fire

Could potentially cut and run, but that definitely won't help Thad

Understood. We're greatly outnumbered, which is why I'm hoping Anoras can find and get to the captives before everything is essentially over. If she can free some of them, maybe we'll have a chance.

My hope is the captives (our people) are closer to where we were than the group the two of your are fighting. Then Anoras can reach them soon. Frankly, it seems quite likely to me the captives would be closer. It's typical to have people watching from behind their captives so the guards can keep an eye on them.

It's true in modern-day transport, a prisoner may be kept in back of a motor vehicle. But in modern day, the captor's vehicles have mirrors so the captors can easily watch the prisoners. And the doors are locked. And the vehicle is traveling a lot faster than walking speed. So even if a prisoner did somehow escape, they'd be "escaping" out of a fast-moving vehicle and would almost certainly be injured or even killed.

But with our situation with people on foot, I think our enemies would want the prisoners in front. At least that's what I'm hoping!

I understand this is play by post. Things won't move as quickly as playing in person, or in a website where we're all logged in and playing at the same time.

But it's now been over a month since I've done anything beyond posting Anoras' thoughts, thinking up questions so I have something to post, etc.

Recently, it's taken three days for Anoras to move up one (1) second. With 31 seconds before she is expected to arrive, it could be an additional three months before I actually get to play.

I have been checking here at least once a day. There doesn't seem to be a good reason to do that. So I'll ask the GM ericthered to email me when Anoras has something to do.

Thank you.
