As far as Classes we have:

Sounds like we are going to have a great time on this adventure with all the variety!

How comforting to know that JGW's Haiden Hawes is such a lady of refined taste!

I consider us all Very Fortunate Indeed to have Trip customizing the adventure so all 14 of us are able to participate!

I appreciate all the effort, time and energy that Trip is pouring into this project and I look forward to participating with this fine group of managers from among Alastari's Elite!

Tonight at 8pm Doha time [1pm EDST] I have a Baseball League draft and two more on Sunday at 6am [Saturday at 10pm EDST] and 8:30pm [Sunday at 12:30pm EDST] so that should keep me busy enough while I am waiting for this Trip enhanced adventure to begin!

I will certainly be monitoring the progress of the initial setup procedures and be sure to actively include Gunther in the festivities once all the arrangements are in place to begin our adventure together!

Great job on getting everything done so fast Trip. I just had a question as to how we are to know where our characters are when in a group. Usually we would have some sort of figure to represent who was where. Is there gonna be some place to make group desicions or are we gonna appoint a group leader to make direction choices and what not. I am excited to get going just not sure how its gonna work. Hope all turns out great.

I have never played with figurines and have been parties of all sizes. I'm curious to know how it'll work as well though.

It's gonna be up to the PCs to determine how decisions get made. It gets interesting when the roleplaying starts and the group decides who the Alpha Dogs are. Or everybody could just get along and decisions can be made through peace and democracy...

It will be interesting with this group of DM/D2 managers, that is for sure!

Ok I have gotten permission from TCatt, one of the webmasters here to be able to post a few small pictures during our adventure. There will be nothing extravegant and Please, only the DM post as it takes up bandwidth to post pictures of any kind. After we have used the small maps and pictures they will be deleted. I will assign letters to each character before we begin for ease of use in maps that we will be using. So here is an example of the crude little maps we will have:


I may also be able to throw a picture or two in there from the module itself, but that is only a maybe.

I want to re-iterate that in a lot of instances you are going to have to use your imagination. I will tell you the description of a room or cavern or whatever and I won't have maps of every single little room. If I have a Dungeon marching order of players and you enter a 20x20 room the first 2 that enter will encounter what is in the room etc.. The rest will be in the hallway. I shouldn't have to draw that up as we will know the marching orders of out in the open, dungeon and others before we begin.

Sounds good to me. Do you have any idea how the other groups do it on here? and if they use maps?

As long as I know where I am in the group I could do without the maps. Guess I wasnt really thinking. My bad.

I haven't seen many people use them. Using a bulliten board the DM's are usually VERY descriptive. We won't need them a lot but will will every now and then, especially with 14 players so far.

Maps and imagination work for me!

Thanks Trip!

Hey Trip

Any update for beginning our adventure?

Testing out my map of orlane.. it works ;-)

Just gotta be patient Hammer. The update is still at 5 above. Same spot. As soon as I get all the character sheets finished which does take some time, we will begin. I am probably looking at sometime Tue since that is my day off. I am going to push for the character sheets to be done by then.
