The Campaign Builder's Guild

I should be there; I'm just packing and doing work that can be done at home tomorrow.

cool!  I look forward to the ledge discussion.

I'm really sorry, I forgot, I fell asleep studying and it slipped my mind when I woke up.

AM DRIVING BACK FROM NY, POSTING ON PHONE.

just pulled in and am starting this thing up

quick notes on session 139,
with the group discovering a ledge above an entrance in a deep'ceilinged, hidden room.
It was hard going up to the ledge, with a lot of basic athleticism needed, and frankly, with armor and weapons and full packs...lucky some of the group made it there.

Then, the group found a plasterd over door above the one they had come in, and spent time unplastering, and between PLaes' sharp eyes and Jon the Bard's knowledge, they found a version of Tighten door cast on it.
Th session ended after 5 guys were up at the top and discovering that the spell had been cast on the outside of the plastered over doors...

Also, gritty feel of GS showed up, along with a cruel dicebot.
climbing up a rope 25' with a full pack, armor, and weapons?  Not so easy...and led to the proper answers...someone tie some knots in this thing...

Two things: One, I've apparently been unintentionally cheating. I had no clue. I've been updating my original format for a character sheet now that I've gotten a lot more comfortable with spreadsheet software (using formulas and whatnot), and somehow my attribute-based XP mod for Basic Athlete (which isn't listed in the newer skill list at all) was given as 0.36. The value given in the Skill Master Spreadsheet is:

ST10-.01/CD11-.01/HE11-.01

I interpret this, based on skills that have been updated, to actually mean:

((ST-10)*0.01)+((CD-11)*0.01)+((HE-11)*0.01)

Going off this, 0.36 is way too high. As awesome at everything as Moss is, it should only be 0.14. This has been remedied, and there are of course some consequences. I have 318 real XP in the skill, and I drop from 273 to 235 applied XP. This means that I don't lose a level, but my bonus for the skill does drop significantly, going from 24% to 13%.

The second thing: Basic Thrown is still not a part of the listing of combat skills, neither in the new stuff, nor in any of the old stuff. And unfortunately, my math is not good enough to go backwards from the value I have to figure out the formula (and not knowing what ability scores it uses, this is impossible anyway). While Moss has never used his sling, I would like at some point to have this added on "officially" as well. I'll just use the value I have, but I'd really like to be able to double check it at some point in the future.

Currently, I've taken up once again reorganizing the spell list. If anyone else wants to help out, I'm going by total cost, then by alphabetical order. What I've done so far should be pretty self-explanatory, though. And now that I've done Air, Earth, and Fire, once I finish with Life and Water I can summon Captain Planet. Or something.

Your math is perfect. What I frankly have to do eventually is to continue with my adding in the individual skill pages, like this one .

I fear captain planet, and the oatmeal golem.

Vreeg, would you like to try and do some more of Moss' private session this weekend? I'm free pretty much all weekend, so let me know what--if anything, works for you.

sounds good... look forward to it/

Ah, my father ended up in the hospital once again.  Probably going to have to have a lot of his foot amputated.  This has taken some time up, along with the end-of-year company duties, as well as the busy season.

Nonetheless, we will game on Tuesday night if we have players. So please sound off if I have thepleasure of your presence for the dreaded Steel Isle game.

Also, you might note that new spells have been added as well as the list of setting-specific stuff to purchase continues to increase.

I think I can make it NY day, I'm out of town for NYE so it is possible I get held up, I'll do my best to make it though.

Unlikely, but MIGHT be possible.  Just don't count on me being there.

Ok, soon on board....Jon would help....
