Greetings and Salutations,
This thread serves as our OOG chatter. The two players - Ryan and Chris, should post PCs in the next post. After that, we can use this thread for rules questions, scheduling and hopefully, lots of atta boys.
FOR REFERENCE:
The Damage Dice table:
Die result*__________Damage** (in Hit Dice)
1________________None
2-5______________1 point
6-9______________2 points
10+______________4 points
* Each die is counted individually.
** HP of heroes or HD of creatures.
If a hero is engaged against a group of creatures any overflow damage from an attack beyond that necessary to down a foe can be delivered to another enemy within reach, provided the same attack roll could have hit them too.

Notes:
Short term goals:
Mo' money. I am used to living a certain lifestyle. While I don't expect to duplicate that, exaclty, I miss good food and drink. And sleeping in barns is not fit to my disposition.
Also, I need to upgrade my gear and buy a horse.
Long Term goals:
Retake my house. There was a power struggle between my Uncles. My father sided with Uncle Kao, the older brother and sitting patriarch of our house. Unfortunately Uncle Kao's profligate lifestyle had nearly driven the house to financial ruin. Uncle Xuande gathered his support and stormed the ancestral palace. Many of the servants and palace guards were already on Xuande's side, so they simply stepped aside. Uncle Xuande was generous to many of them, letting them transfer their loyalty to him. With the family members he was not so lenient. He had my father and older siblings killed, along with all of Uncle Kao's family. I barely escaped with my life and I suspect Uncle Xuande, now the Patriarch of House Liu, has agents looking for me.

long Term goal:
Revenge! I want vengence on the leader of the gang that betrayed me. Try to cut me out of the profits by killing me? We'll see who is the last man standing.
short term goals:
I'll need a few coins first, and to pay off a debt to "Laughing Crane", but I am coming for ____ (gang leader whose name I haven't yet come up with but would sound really cool.)!
Do you guys have a plan for how you want to write your posts? First person?
I'm taking a swipe with my sword, then hoping to barrel past him. "Hah, take that!" I scream as I launch myself into the effort
Third person?
Tetsu glared at the monster over his obsidian blade. With a snarl, he called out to it, "Come here, snake. Come and taste my fang."
Is it cool if I address your characters in the IC thread? It's a habit I picked up from Aw and I really like it. Especially in PBP, where we can have OOG discussions here.
I know it's D&D, but do you have any lines or veils for this game?
PG-13 (there are boobs, talk of sex, some harsh language, violence is indirect)
R (sex happens, violence is gory, harsh language like crazy)
Other?
Addressing me in IC/First Person is fine.
I have a mixed opinion on lines and veils.
1. Laughing Crane will be a largely PG-13 character.
2. I don't really mind R-rated content, although I'd like to avoid outright on-screen sex.
I think the difference also sets the tone.
I'd be happier with pg13 since I'll have this up at work but I won't mind if it occassional goes over.
I shan't post NSFW pics.
I'm hacking Sunless Citadel, will have the first post up soon. Stay tuned, gents!
I'd especially be game for the seedier side of Leiber stuff. Fafrhd and Gray Mouser were rapscallions as opposed to heroes.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sorry guys. I've been swamped today at work. I'll carve out some time shortly for a post.
Food and supplies (water/wine skins)
Horses *
Lanterns (and oil)
Lots of rope
* I think it would be hilarious if she provided us a single donkey.
> roll should have been 1d20+7. That would make it a hit. Please roll your damage.
Sorry, is this different than the Fray Dice roll that I made?
The Fray die and the HD damage is splendid.
"Six goblins! Holy Hell, we're only first level!"
Rolls dice.
"4 down, two to go."
My only quibble is the way damage is mapped. As a matter of principal I detest that extra step. But, if that's my only quibble, I can brush it off.
