Mainly on how it's the equivalent of barter in certain (civilized) countries, making life easier, but also keeping the group from having to purchase/pay Pyan's way as they travel on their adventures. Arawn would respect Pyan's decision either way:) ---------- IC: Arawn looked at the sword held in Pyan's hand, his... "I could teach the basics but that would be all.... GM: Ack. Barter is limited in civilized lands like Marentia. But more acceptable in Barbarian lands. Coin is king in most places. From Mae/Don: [Re: Actions] Unfortunatly I need to now out of the game, it's due to a personal issue with RL and will need to leave it at that. Thank you so for putting up with me and I wish you happy rpng. GM: Ack. If this issue resolves still glad to come back. Your choice only. But only have maybe a month to decide at this rate I'm doing IBTs. From Kiet: [Re: Mae] I'm sorry to hear that. Your character is/was an interesting one. So much self conflict! Makes for a lot of fun making up a story for the character. Come back if you feel you can afford the time. GM: Ack. Yes. It is a fun dynamic. Good character to try. If Don doesn't return I may include Mae in adventure as npc but unsure yet. From Dorhak: [Re: Actions] Dorhak decides that staying at Z'leyra's place might... "Would it be out of line to ask if my treasures... Assuming this is OK, Dorhak will seek out a place of his own to rent. It needn't be extravagent. I'm thinking something with a kitchen, two bedrooms, plus a living area. He will, of course, pay in advance since it's unlikely they would trust him anyway. At least six months. He especially would like one in area that has a lot of stone workers. Until he can find such a place, he will have to stay in a low to middlin' level inn. GM: Ack. A place to rent eh? To rent or how about a bed & breakfast place. Communal kitchen and private bedroom. Why 2 bedrooms? Plan to ahem..have guests? I can include this in IBT then which I'll do tomorrow. From David: [Re: GM Screens on site] BTW...I also created some excel files that have those tables calculated. If anyone wants a copy let me know. GM: Ack. It was mainly for new folks to find the charts faster. Old folks have their own setups I figure. But thanks for the offer. From David: [Re: Attribute rule] I vote do it per the rules. One item. More than one and they cancel out. The one exception would be NMI...they would be unaffected by other attribute effect items or other NMI. GM: Ack. Agree on NMIs. Forgot that. Its always been in grain in brain I no longer 'rule check'. From David: [Re: Items] I know that I have been playing the game as per that 'no 2 items of this type used at same time' rule. I didn't know there was any other way. No wonder we have superheroes. GM: Ack. No. As far as current setup no one is cheating. I just thought about it with all the magical toys we now have. That it might be good idea to iron out this rule detail. Most do use NMIs. From Wout: [Re: Attribute rule] I don't mind if the majority votes to ignore this, but I do I agree with Dave's interpretation. one magic item with Attribute effect. If using two or more, they cancel each other out. - NMI are not affected and do not cancel each other or a (single) Attribute effect item. I know I have been playing the game this way. No wonder we have superheroes. :-) So vote 1 or 2 (with NMI separate from this rule). GM: Ack. From Fremea: [Re: Attribute rule] I am in agreement with this also. Restricted to two items (with NMI separate). GM: Ack. Well its 1 with NMI as rule so I see this as you saying use rule as listed? Oh! My votes kinda confuse that I see. Sorry. Yeah it should be 2. 1 item with NMI. From Burton C: [Re: Attribute Rule] In game terms, I would grow with the greater magic rules, no stacking. If you have something that grants S+3 and C+2, and you get something els that give S+4, your final tally is S+4, C+2, not S+6 GM: Ack. Gotcha. Glad your lurker. I respect your pnp stuff. :) Maybe we'll get you to join one day. You are always welcome even when game starts. From Burton: [Attribute rule] Oops, I mean not S+7. GM: Ack. From Fremea: [Re: Loot] Fremea wants to claim the star topaz. She will donate 15% to Kell's family. GM: Ack. Done. Very generous on the donation. That's why I like kind pcs. :) From Fremea: [Re: Loot] Fremea would like to get both topazes, she can learn how to carve them best. GM: Ack. Done. I think I sent in chat the cost for Topaz rite for IBT right? if not ask again. From Bert: [Re: Attribute Rule] Ignore the rule GM: Ack. Glad your still around. :) OH I need to send you a skype message on something for IBT. From David: [Re: Burton joining] Yes! Very welcome! Come play with us! Bring some friends. GM: Ack. It would be nice. He is one of the biggest P&P supporters that has been around since '90s. From Pyan: [Re: Attribute Rule] I vote for 2 with the NMI exception. GM: Ack. Thanks man. From Burton: [Re: Joining] Unfortunately, don’t have time. Was just kibitzing :) GM: Ack. Boooo! Hiss! :) Oh well. We've been here for 17 years so not going anywhere. If change mind I'm here. :) ______________________________________________________________ [New Stuff] [Sivas, Marentia] [Decalis 2nd, 1635TH] [Cholan's Tavern] Arawn looked at the sword held in Pyan's hand, his mouth askew with thought. "I could teach the basics but that would be all. However if no one else finds the time to train you I could help you find a trainer while we're in Marentia. It'll cost some coin but you should have plenty to cover that," he said. "Just let me know if you want help with finding one." The Alfar comments. Then he realizes this is a Bastard sword not one he is actually skilled in. So the others help Pyan give tips on how to find a teacher. [That Night at Z'leyra's place] Dorhak decides that staying at Z'leyra's place might get kind of crowded. However, it seems like an answer to a different problem our ugly little dwarf had; namely how to protect his horde. "Would it be out of line to ask if my treasures could be kept here? It seems like a pretty safe place, what with armed guards and all. No doubt I can find something this secure that I could fully trust." One of the guards comments, "nothing is perfect. A good thief can even get here. But there are moneylenders in town. I'd use them as well. They can store your money and give you paper vouchers. They take the responsibility and risk of your gold. In most cases they have a form of insurance to pay it back depending on lender. If they are city supported not some fly by night thing I'd support them as well." Actions? Comments? Next Update....Soon.. GM: A short update to give a idea of where I stand. Should be working on Dorhak's IBT today. But may not finish till Saturday or Monday/Tuesday. If Mae/Don does not return after Dorhak will skip Mae's IBT and then start Kiet's. Should do that next week. Leaving 4 or so more to do. Maybe 3-4 months? We might be able to start late October? Early November? But we'll see depends on how big the IBTs are. Looks like we had agreement to Unali take the Star Topaz worth 168. Kiet takes Agate. No duel to death sadly. Fremea has now claimed the 2 left over topazes so she can use it (did not claim anything else earlier). Arawn is only to comment on Unali storing the rest of the NMIs in her manor. So guess that is done. Still party treasure. Removed 2 treasure links from site and replaced it with a Party Treasure link for current status. GM: Attribute Effect votes: Player Vote Kiet 2 Unali 1 or 2 Fremea 2 Mournath 1 Pyan 2 Arawn None Dorhak None Mae None Z'leyra None Votes: 1- 1(2) 2- 3 Votes: 1- Ignore Rule 2- Use rule with NMI exception 3- 3 Items 4- 4 items I do agree there is a NMI exception and I found it in Richard's (the game's author) comments way back in the '90s. Sadly no majority unless count Unali's vote as 2. So will see if any others come in. But looks like rule remains as is.
