I loved that show in the repeats.... so cheesy, I mean seriously the Moon as a rogue planet and reverse Dyson Sphere? Love it!!!!

Just the intro - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLAsBzOOhLQ

Beautiful funk guitar, pretty sure it permanently warped me for all sci-fi forever, plus all those models and mat paintings. I was an impressionable eight year old. Is that safety orange? No, it's seventies orange. lol

My site's name: dragoner's domain, is a play on the episode "Dragon's Domain" which scared the crap out of me as kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy2kWr29cp4

But yeah, rogue moon and all, total bs.

Well August's call out sank like a rock. Perhaps September a new batch will saunter on into your sandbox. The more, the merrier.

Anyhoo, feedback time at page 30:

- I know, I know, you want more Adventure! and Action! Being baked in and waiting for you to spring the... box of surprises!


- Playing so open is probably uncommon for most here. The threat level is within your control, which sometimes leads to more cautious play. I am glad you challenged me with joining the 'Afternoon Show'. Yet I will miss your PCs when they die, too.

- Splitting up is also likely uncommon. This pace is rather normal for such, as it allows for quite a bit of discovery, opportunity, and danger. But the beautiful part is you never reliably know when. It's the bated breath that's fun.

- Though there is random and whimsey in the setting, your logical and measured responses usually engender the same. This is part detailing the world's setting, part lulling you into a false sense of security for my nefarious... foundational atmosphere.


- Currently you are doing a great job keeping IC material discrete. Later, when more complex things develop, there is always this [Interest] topic & PMs for OOC shenanigans. You do so get along together, this your first IC day, and that's heartwarming. Maybe you won't need it so soon.


So, comments, questions, requests? :cheerleader:

I'm happy as a clam. (whatever the hell that means )

I am enjoying the pace, having only done 2-3 Pbp This one seems to be zipping along. I don't need action adventure quickly just interaction and something to do. Though I am looking forward to some meatier sections.

The Old west feel makes the game more interesting as well. Gives it a refreshing taste.


Hope your happy with all us. It is important for the Gm to enjoy the experience as well.

BTW just started the starter set and had a party wipe on  the second fight. It was quite brutal Some was our fault some was just frickin' horrible luck. My "Lucky" Halfling rouge would have been happy for a 1 I could reroll instead of the steady 4,5,6's that he was gettin

Having a blast will critique as needed

Very happy with the game, and really like the fantasy-western feel to it!

It's all good, I'm having fun. Thanks Opa!

(and everybody else, too)

I'm really digging this so far. It has also left me some things to think about when it comes to pacing for my next play by post, my last one was a bit slow.

Marleycat, nice av of Bright Feather.

I'm flighty like a cat but I changed because of your reason mostly. Others now know who they're speaking to. She fits me...just look at her close. She is laughing at the stupidity.

My advice? Use rolling initiative. Have them roll and then you roll but only allow players to do special actions and do a rolling count unless it's a BOSS monster.

Rolling counts help, especially with player micros & macros (singular automation & team automation). The challenge is with higher number combatants and ret-conning due to the nature of PbP 'temporal distortions'. The medium is quite different due to that; a lot of 'simming' bleeds in by that dint.

But then PbP's timing issues allows one to recharge creative juices, and do other necessary things, whereas being 'always on' as a GM in person can frazzle one eventually. A trade off.

Hey if you ever need another player, keep me in mind. I'd like to jump in and would play anything. I've been doing PBP since 2002 so I'm an old pro.

We need a Rogue BAD! It's Opa's call though.

It's damn ridiculous that Bright Feather may have to scout because the rest of my party can't see in dark or be especially perceptive. If I level up I'm getting a familiar FAST, elk be damned:D

Marleycat is right, we do need a rogue, I thought we did have one at first, which is why I became a cleric, but I am having fun playing Karni. A rogue is good though.

We did but he had to drop out before the game started so we are way overbalanced in a bad way currently. Given it's RAW only. It's totally fixable if the PHB was in play. Especially given they updated BASIC yesterday.
