Title: Group Play Seminar
Post by: Eight-Bit on March 17, 2007, 02:00:31 pm
Hello!

Every sunday for a few weeks I will be hosting a Group-Play seminar where I will discuss the finer points of working together as a group.

I will go over class roles in detail, as well as group tactics, and what to do and what will get you killed.

Tee hee... Sounds like inspiration from that chaos in the mountains. I'll be glad to attend! Thanks for doing that.

Will this be an in-character or an out-of-character gathering?

I'll happily come, because the risk of losing a soulstrand in a seminar is rather low.

If you ask nicely enough, a GM would gladly remove one for you *winks*

There will be examples, but if you listen to what I have to say, the chances of you dying are very low.

But, the chances of you sepecifically getting a Soul Strand is pretty high. It's you, dude. You've got worse luck than me when it comes to Tokens...

There's nothing to learn, really.

It's all about knowing what you can do to contribute. When I see Mages being archers or being under a constant Polymorph spell...

Well, you've heard that rant before, dude.

Stop leaving it in town when you log! I hate crashing!

And it was an accident, just ment to poke it away, but it kept attacking till i had no choice but to snuff it. I did raise it!

Bumping, because what else are you going to do on a Sunday night?

Starting location will be the Hempstead Fields, inside of the Oxen Pen. All those outside shall be shot.
Title: Re: Group Play Seminar
Post by: Lynn1020 on March 25, 2007, 02:51:19 pm
This sounds like a great idea! On the calendar it list that each one is going to mostly about Wizard/Sorcerer Roles.  Will there be some other on other classes later on?

Yep. I'm just lazy and will edit them eventually to be specific. Melee is next week. Rogue/Bard is after that.

Bards will be a fun one.

Unfortunatly I had to leave rather early and I know I missed valuable information.  If anyone could give a brief overview of the main ideas Clover would appreciate it.  I can do this in-game or ooc.  

Thanks

I feel that this went well and I usually don't say that after getting off the GM Client.

If people got anything out of this, I'm glad! If not, come for the next session where we talk about:

-Meat Shields.
-How to form a defensive party
-How to fight without everyone dying.
And with time and interest - how to recover from a bad fight.

I'll post the logs as attachments after the Seminars. They'll be in .txt files just for size, and to save from converting them over to something else. I'm lazy.

I'll post it later. There's a lot of junk to edit out. Like, say, 90% of what Hawk said.

A'yup.

*child born out of wedlock*. I was quite informative, and provided valuable knowledge!

*shakes a fist*

EDIT: Oh, btw, good session, was fun.

You were as informative as the chickens.

Sorry I missed it, though I'm not exactly the "primary caster" type of player, it would have been nice to see how to play one.  :)

However, bed was far too tempting after a long weekend of dealing with little sleep due do to the little ones...
Title: Re: Group Play Seminar
Post by: Eight-Bit on March 26, 2007, 02:51:35 pm
Yea, dude. Sleep beats NWN any day.

For the future - if there are topics people want to discuss either bring them with you, or tell me ahead of time and I'll make a spot for it.

That has nothing to do with Group Play. I'll write a quick guide, however, if you want.

I'll make a seperate post. It'll be a quicky, and not the way that should be set in stone, but just the method I use when Multiclassing and building a character with the intent of multiclassing.

Yeah that'd be good!

Post by: Eight-Bit on April 01, 2007, 02:10:27 pm
I'm sick. Really sick. The kind of sick where I'm not sitting in front of anything for more tha 15 minutes without fleeing to void my bowls.

Yea, I thought it was gross too. But I'm honest. I'm moving this forward one day to Monday Night at 10pm.

Everyone, please have a good night.
Title: Re: Group Play Seminar
Post by: Eight-Bit on April 02, 2007, 02:57:13 pm
I'm not making it tonight either. Still groggy, sore, and sick. But as a high point I get to work until 11pm tonight.

It'll be this coming sunday.
Title: Re: Group Play Seminar
Post by: ycleption on April 09, 2007, 01:59:28 pm
Did the seminar last night actually happen? Or was I just in the wrong time/place? In the future, would it be possible to list the place on the calendar? Thanks.

Is this still on for today?
