Maybe I should ask...
If I was going to start a tap game, like what Justin started, what sort of things would you like to see or do...?
1) High level (9th-12th), High adventure? 2) Medium level (5th-11th), Intrigue? 3) Mixed levels, adventure? 4) Or something COMPLETELY different?
Jay B Tuesday April 11th, 2006 1:24:24 PM
Just emailed Jerry asking him what he thinks about me possibly running something. Maybe I'll get his help.
loretta Wednesday April 12th, 2006 4:38:25 AM
Well Jay, I always prefer to start at low level (1-4) levels 1 & 2 are good because you're character is just starting out, 3 or 4 is good because while they're still young (and you're getting a feel for a charcter and preferably race or class you have never played before) you still get the first bonuses.
I like using other books, if not for classes then at least for equipment. For example the phb has two items that are specific for a cleric, the cleric robes and the holy symbol. In defenders of the faith (yeah I know its 3.0 but the items should still be able to be bought) you have things like a prayer book, holy book, abridged versions of each, altar cloths, traveling altar, insence, censer, braizer (various styles including field which anybody would be happy to have to keep their tent warm) ect. I cant list everything because i dont have the book out. In one game that i played a cleric (yes I do play them but rarely) when I had my cleric do her morning prayers I didnt say that she prayed and got her spells. I said that she brought out the altar, read her holy book, prayed, lit incense and even gave extra time for a sermon sometimes.
Jay to Loretta Wednesday April 12th, 2006 10:40:57 AM
Don't worry, the goal is to make everyone happy. :) I'll take what you say into consideration.
Jay B Wednesday April 12th, 2006 1:08:19 PM
Which books are available to everybody? Who has certain books they'd like to use?
loretta Wednesday April 12th, 2006 11:42:22 PM
In book format I have 3.0 phb & dmg. I also have 3.5 phb, dmg & complete arcane. Following is a list of some of the books I have, for a complete listing send me your email and I'll send you my list. I have alot of stuff including forgotten realms, non wizards stuff, adventures, feats, ect. If anybody wants a copy of the books let me know & I'll make a copy, but you have to pay for mailing it.
In pdf format on discs I have: 3.0 stronghold builder's guide defender's of the faith masters of the wild savage species song and silence sword and fist arms and equipment guide monster manual tome & blood
3.5 complete warrior complete divine complete arcane complete adventurer draconium book of exalted deeds monster manual
Jay B Thursday April 13th, 2006 10:48:25 AM
If you send me copies on disc, I could use them. :)
I have in actual book form...
3.0 defender's of the faith masters of the wild song and silence sword and fist arms and equipment guide monster manual 1&2 tome & blood
3.5 complete warrior monster manual
I do have some things on disc, but the trick is to find the darn things.
Loretta Thursday April 13th, 2006 12:27:00 PM
I made it easy to find my books on disc. I have 11 discs and keep them in a cloth cd case. I also have a word document that lists what is on each disc.
Send me your email so I can send you the list of books, like I said I can make as many cds as you like (still have half of a 100 cd tower from costco) but you'll have to pay shipping.
Ceil Friday April 14th, 2006 5:44:35 PM
Jay I loved the way you had to take over the Story line. But better I would like to play one of your doings, your touch on a sotry.
I also want to keep Sir Henri going, But that is not importent.
Hmmm! Let see what would I like to se you do??? # 2 or # 3 I can nt make up my mind>>>
Suprise Me?
Kim to ol' Mithril Tap group Saturday April 15th, 2006 10:24:31 AM
I had planned on shutting this down, but see that you all are just chatting away. You want me to keep this open a little longer?
Jay B to group Saturday April 15th, 2006 11:27:40 AM
Okay folks.
I need email addresses if we can allow for Kim to do his job and shut down the game.
Jerry has, more or less, confirmed that I can DM a tap game. Either a standard of something of my device.
I will email all of those who would like to play in my game if I get all the email addys.
Loretta Sunday April 16th, 2006 4:42:51 AM
Me! Me! Loretta wants to play!
Little halflings go running and flying around having lots of fun
loretta_boshell@hotmail.com
Jay B Monday April 17th, 2006 9:34:59 AM
Okay folks, I have Loretta and Ceil so far. No one else seems to want into the game.
Jerry has given me permission, or thats what it sounds like so far, to run a tap using short installments of my world. No worries, all things Woldian will be allowed!
I will have to most for other players in the Giggling Ghost like always, but other than that, Jerry and I seem to be working things out.
I'll keep you up to date, either emails or here on this board. :)
loretta Tuesday April 18th, 2006 2:32:36 AM

Jay Uou know I'm in..... AND I know where you live??
momlap@sbcglobal.net
Is where I live.
PS> Does that mean that I have to up grade Sir Henri to 10 th level?
Jay B to Ceil Thursday April 20th, 2006 10:39:59 AM
Chances are Dearest, that I'm going to start the levels low for my game.
Loretta requested a low level campaign.
loretta Thursday April 20th, 2006 5:15:08 PM
Ceil wasnt reading my posts....wah...wah...wah...now dont forget to email me about any books you want, although I wont be able to copy them till i get a new comp (using my walmart card this weekend, unless something comes up) as this comp keeps freezing and now doenst acknowledge my cdburner as being on the comp.
Ceil Friday April 21st, 2006 5:47:25 AM
That's OK with me I'll reduce him to a lower level.LOL
As long as I get to play.
Ceil Tuesday April 25th, 2006 5:22:01 PM
Jay Opps! Sorry - DM Jay Now that's better, How low level will we start? Level 1 - Level 5 ?
Ceil. Wants. To. Know.
Jay B Wednesday April 26th, 2006 1:20:01 PM
We will likely start up at 4th level.
Jerry wants me to start out with episodes. Short modules no longer than three months, I think thats what he said.
Loretta Wednesday April 26th, 2006 9:59:43 PM
Well hurry up, now I have a new computer I want to play with it.
Jay B Thursday April 27th, 2006 7:28:25 AM
I have three days off now and I'll be able to write some stuf, assuming I don't get pestered! ;)
I'll let you know.
Loretta Thursday April 27th, 2006 4:26:31 PM
Me sorry :(
Ceil Saturday April 29th, 2006 7:50:44 AM
Jay - I was about to say something, But I won't pester you!
Jay B Sunday April 30th, 2006 4:25:16 PM
Writing going well, should have a full module by June. May not be in my world though.
Ceil Sunday April 30th, 2006 6:28:46 PM
Oh1 good dm jay, I can hardly wait! But I woun't bother you.
loretta Monday May 1st, 2006 2:43:46 AM

loretta Tuesday May 2nd, 2006 5:53:26 AM
ceil, jay how do you like the game idea i mentioned in the loot and booty.
Ceil Tuesday May 2nd, 2006 6:26:17 AM
Loretta, Which one? Dear. The one with Wings?
loretta Tuesday May 2nd, 2006 12:45:56 PM
The basic concept of the game is that the gods have let some people in the world know that the world is facing destruction in about 1,000 years. As long as the rulers of the countries make plans to evacuate a portion of their population they will have great crops ect. People can go through one of several portals to a new world. The portal will open up for two weeks once every 2 years per area. The pc's are part of one of the first groups through the portal. There will be many surprises on the other side.
I plan to have around 500 people be going through the portal. however when pc's talk to one of their fellow travelers I dont want to have to make stuff up and so want at least a background, looks, personality, and partial character sheet for everyone. I will need full character sheets for the leaders of the community.
Almost everyone going through the portal will have pledged service to the person in charge (appointed by the king, I'm thinking a younger daughter or son) in return for supplies (thinking animals, food, seeds, and shelter for a year). You can go through the gate without pledging service and I'll probably have some of the more well off npc's do that (merchants, wizards, high clerics, nobility). The pc's will have to explore the new land, get crops in, have someone to take care of their crops/animals when they are gone, and make sure they have firewood and food for the winter. This will be true roleplaying, I'll be insisting on good backgrounds on pc's including why they are going to the new land and info on family both in the old land and the new.
Jay B Thursday May 4th, 2006 4:42:44 PM
Okay, I'm goinig to ask you ladies...
What do you want to see in the game? Intrigue? Combat? Politics? Dungeon Crawl?
Loretta Thursday May 4th, 2006 5:40:46 PM
Roleplaying! not roll playing. not to much politics, and if you must have dungeons (which are ok as long as there is a historical reason for them to be there and be infested with monsters and gold and not used to often) then balance it out with actual role playing later.
Ceil Friday May 5th, 2006 6:28:05 AM
Oh! Boy Waht a choice, Hmmm! Now let's see, intrigue sounds good. COMBAT OH! now that's a given, nothing is better than a good fight (for treasure), Polatics well I get enought of it on the news, But a good back stabing is fun to play. It seem that all the really good treasurs are hidden in Dungeons.
Well Jay! Did I answer you question? Did I Help at all?
Jay B Friday May 5th, 2006 8:44:08 AM
The ladies have spoken... I'll see what I can provide. :)
Jay B Friday May 5th, 2006 1:25:37 PM
Okay ladies... I have a request to make.
I want this game to be enjoyable, so, what I need from you both are four additional players.
I want Justin, personally. But if either of you have problems with that, email me and explain.
So choose two players each that you approve of and let me know who they are. If someone is chosen by both of you, I will ask them to play.
It doesn't matter to me who we get, just as long as I don't exceed 6 players. I won't make the same mistake as Justin. If someone ABSOLUTELY can't live without playing my game... I'll by the casket. :) I don't want my players to be overwhelmed with posts or in game activity. I find 6 players to be a good round, easy, number to handle.
You have your assignments. Go forth and be fruitful. I know you can do it.
loretta Friday May 5th, 2006 1:40:56 PM
cayzle & kathy (i know them both from dirt city)
loretta Friday May 5th, 2006 1:41:31 PM
Do either of you have aim? if so I need to add you to my buddy list.
Jay B Friday May 5th, 2006 3:29:14 PM
I have AIM axemaster1010, but never look at it anymore.
Whats yours?
loretta Friday May 5th, 2006 3:52:21 PM
Loretta537
Ceil Friday May 5th, 2006 6:01:59 PM
OK, HERE'S MY TWO,
Kim Mc Coy, JonPaul Ward, comes from Ct) Richard Pawlowski Mike Knotts Phil K (the New Player in Game 9)
I have no problem with Loretta choices, My choices are because they post steady five or more a week.
Jay B Friday May 5th, 2006 6:14:36 PM
My ideal group from that list, provided they would like to play would be...
Loretta Ceil Cayzle Kathy Mike Kim
I don't remember if I have played with Mike, but I like everyone elses play style.
Here are my choices for alternatives... Justin or his brother James... I say James because he actually posts more than Justin, I say Justin because I sort of promised him a spot if he wanted it just after his game went away.
If anyone knew where Sam Casper was, I'd choose him in a heart beat....
I think Jerry wants me to recruit in the Giggling GHost for players though. HOWEVER! I may be able to convince him otherwise.
Ceil Saturday May 6th, 2006 3:20:47 AM
Your right The webber brothers are very good players, Jim is better Than Justin, But justin has a habit of either losing intrest after a while. As for Sam, he hs not been heard of since last September. Not even Jerry knows where he is.
loretta Saturday May 6th, 2006 4:40:19 AM
ceil, do you have aol instant messaging?
who's sam casper?
Loretta Saturday May 6th, 2006 5:05:22 AM
I love the wold...I wish that playbyweb was more like the wold.
I recently joined a game in playbyweb I love the game concept (havent really played much though) but the dm posting is awful. I know I'm not the best of posters but I'm a player and usually if I dont post it's because I've been sick (really sick or depressed and cant get out of bed sick its the same). What's worse is that the dm has a co-dm and still there are no consistent posting.
When I joined there were 2 or 3 characters in the woods fighting skeletons, my character and two others were on the beach and had no idea about the fight. I said my character helped her parents off the ship and went to get water, now at the same time one of the other pc's helped my character and another (very stupid half orc) character was crying because a cat caught a mouse it wanted to eat. the half orc was very hungry and the other character gave it some food. There was some good roleplaying among the three of us on the beach. The admin only posted for the people in battle until I said my character went to look for water. then all he said was a very short sentence that I found a spring and to make a listen check. I made the check (with a 20) there's more roleplaying going on with the remaining two on the beach and the dm only posts a reply to the characters in combat. I complain in the ooc thread that the dm needed to reply to everyone and the codm says that I hear sounds of fighting stop (notice that there is still no post about the two on the beach). the last dm post was on the 30th (that's the one where he ignored my listen check) and the last co-dm post was on the 1st (the one where he said i heard the fighting end). There hasnt been a post in about a week, yet I know they have been at the site because on the 4th the dm introduce his girlfriend who was joining the game. Today I have made 2 ooc posts the first stating that I was amazed that the dm posted monday and although he was at the site on thursday I was amazed there was no post. the second was to ask the dm & co-dm to do three things. 1. post regularly 2. post for everyone, and 3. let us know if they cant post. I also informed everyone about how good the wold is :-D
Jay B Saturday May 6th, 2006 8:09:36 AM
Loretta, read the archival posts for the Chosen of Domi game. Sam is the player for Kale. He is a good role player, but had a tendency to disappear for a bit. Sam would post during combats and when loot was being divided, but on everyday posts, he would split. I guess role playing wasn't his favorite thing, but he was good at it.
Yeah, I don't like play by web site. Do they have any Harry Potter based games there?
Ceil Saturday May 6th, 2006 9:07:23 AM
Loretta, no I don't have a IM messenger, I cannot activate it, no matter what pass word I come up with, yahoo rejects all of them.
Sam Casper is a long time both in texas and in the games, he said he had to take a walk about for about two month and never came back (up to this date) cannot even get to talk to Maria his wife when I E-Mail them, something has happen.
Loretta Saturday May 6th, 2006 12:47:53 PM
Ceil, try the aol instant messaging not yahoo. As for passwords I have found that using ones that are easy to remember usually work great you know like password or messaging, or something like that. Now your sign on name would be harder try something like ceil followed by some numbers.
