Yeah, this is the first time a game has gone two threads with me involved.

Wooooooooo! We broke a whole year AND an entire thread! Killin' it!
Who knows maybe this'll last long enough for Joy to miss us and come back lol.
In the meantime -- Jbe what's your next move?
Feather -- any input?
Abdiel -- knight to F5. Your move.

I am floor-is-lavaing; though I do need to touch the ground once. Let's see if I land on the deadly tile!

Using the edges of the visible panels as walls to demonstrate when you're not touching the floor, could you try to draw a path for me for where your token started, where you did and did not touch the floor, and where you ended, via a vis that hallway?
:-)
EDIT: also completely off topic, but I thought your WoW campaign was really cool. I always wanted to do one but I was going to do a different ruleset. Still, fun to see an inspired campaign like that being run!
Just wanted to mention.

Re: 3.5e Batman Campaign (2.0) [2nd Thread]
Fine! I have noted my trajectory. Do you worst, villainous scum!
Also: Hey, thanks. I'm a WoW lifer, and I've spent a lot of conversations with nerd friends talking about doing some kind of game in Azeroth, then decided to just try it here, while learning M&M3e. I had thought to do it in 5e at first, but it doesn't exactly fit. It's taking some learning, but I think I have the system mostly down now - and because it's not Vancian magic based, there's less of a setting clash when it comes to magic - spell slots versus mana, you know? Alternatively one could do it in 3.5 and be like.. "If you want to play a mage, play a psion and we call it mage."

Funny you should say that. There actually is a 3.5e version of the game ("WoW RPG"), which I absolutely loved. That being said they did the spell slot thing not the psi points thing so it doesn't fully line up like that.
But I genuinely love that game / system. The Tinker class is my favorite thing ever.
I actually have a bunch of the PDFs in a other google file.

Well, I knew there was a Warcraft RPG; I didn't know it's providence. Is that the one that predates WoW, being mostly post Warcraft 3? I heard it was pretty good!

Kiiiiiiiiiiiind of, but no actually.
There was a Warcraft RPG, which was mostly post Warcraft 3 and predated WoW.
But it needed some work.
After WoW released (but before Burning Crusade), they redid the game and released the World of Warcraft RPG. Because of the timing the source material in the world was missing a lot of the major developments, and, eventually, lore changes / evolutions that occurred throughout WoW's timeline, but I found that overall it's core foundation was a *fantastic* baseline to create a WoW adventure / Storyline (and, really, a *Warcraft* one, WoW or otherwise) for a campaign. Race choices were divided between Alliance, Horde, and Neutral, there were several expansion books, a whole system for creating mechanical devices, and surprising depth in the classes. Plus the artwork was great. I always wanted to run one that retconned Burning Crusade but was like, pre-Wrath/during-Wrath.

Re: 3.5e Batman Campaign (2.0) [2nd Thread]
Damn; I didn't even know about that second one. Cool stuff; I might have to look into it some time just for inspiration.
I wasn't sure whether the group would be Horde or Alliance heavy when I posted the recruitment thread. Then I got... 1 Pre-BC Queldorei, 1 Horde-Loathing Ogress, 1 Alterac exile, 1 Sand Troll Diplomat, and 1 traumatized 2nd war veteran of Lordaeron.
So wildly eclectic, and requiring some lore tweaking to make it all work. But it's rolled out alright so far!
Oh, and "if you survive this". The -cheek- of you, sir.
[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
Edit: Also, *Provenance. I remain Typo Man, Man of Typos.

Lol yea. I loved it. Really got me jazzed for the setting again. Lemme know if you want me to share the file I have the PDFs in.
In any case, I might be cheeky but you, sir, are the king of bad-search-rolls-in-the-one-dungeon-where-you-really-really-need-better-search-rolls lol.

*Whines* When I started we had TWO batfriends who had search loaded up! Spoiler has forsaken me, Oracle has forsaken me.
I'm completely forsook!

Re: 3.5e Batman Campaign (2.0) [2nd Thread]
DonI currently believe Bullock is at home? I intended to come early enough in the day that I could snoop around and set stuff up for a nightmare message in the middle of the night but if the carnival took to long that’s understandable.

FORSOOK!
But yea it's totally the BG2 thieves hall, lol. My favorite hideout, couldn't resist.
Like Skyrim is cool and all but they basically live in the sewer, y'know?
At any rate do you...wanna try searching again? Before we jank around with these doors?
16 is just like....it's low man. It's low.
Does Kate have any powers that could help this situation?

Ooooooooooooooh that was daytime? My bad that's a miscommunication there.
Let's just assume he's not at home, time of day be damned. Easier that way. How do you want to go ahead setting up your surprise IC?

Re: 3.5e Batman Campaign (2.0) [2nd Thread]
[roll0] Oh yeah? Well how about THIS search result!
Badup bap badup bup.
Bwah.
I hope you know, Molan, I am exposing myself to these traps and not gratuitously ghosting through all obstacles to amuse you.
Edit: Could that roll have gone better? Yes.
Am I now regretting that I didn't sink the money on those Elixirs of Search? Again, the answer is yes.

God...okay...alright. So...let's do this lol.
EDIT: Okay jiggering the handle from a distance was smart. Probably won't work on every trap, but we avoided a dead party member for a round so yay! lol.

Re: 3.5e Batman Campaign (2.0) [2nd Thread]
… that was the first door, huh? Yeah, I might have to be a little less generous about my approach here! Haha.
EDIT: Very well, Molan; it is time to go full ghost ninja mode, if THAT is how you want to play it. I've posted, committing, I guess, about half of my turn; hopefully, I'll earn a description of what's behind four of those doors, and then I can choose which one to end up finishing my turn behind as my ethereal state wears off.

See, now we're talking.
No offense but Damien's just real bad at the Rogue-ing part of his job, way better at the ninja bit, lol. Also now that I've seen the route you took in roll20 I can share that all of the doors were trapped, so this is much wiser.
I'll post IC soon but you should hopefully be pleased with the result.

Tell that to the lady who figured out how to steal competence from the gods. I can be an expert as long as my spell slots last (god I wish they lasted longer).

You say that like you weren't one bad roll away from being Killing Joke'd just now!

I was fine, I had a plan of extraction and everything. True I'd have 100% died if I'd stuck around which is why I made sure not to stick around.

Re: 3.5e Batman Campaign (2.0) [2nd Thread]
Originally I was only going to take some of Bullock’s discarded hair to aid the nightmare roll, but as is I might dispose of Tetch’s body while I’m here and freak bullock out with it later.
