ConnorsI see Shane has added notes to the Adv Log to kick things off. :)
(Editing: BTW, Shane, your place links weren't working b/c you had double brackets not triple, is all ;)).
OK. Some details there need fixing - I will do so when I get my notes out.
egs: 'hardheads' (though hammer fine). Were not bought from Hucrele's - those were merchants you visited after purchasing beasts from a guy (who I will look up). Baker didn't buy apple - collective at tavern did. Greensapwn are not 'troll' goblins.
I will modify and add to this (inc starting each point with capital, ending in full stop and making sure in past tense). In the meantime other players are free to do the same. Shouldn't be all left to Shane to do.
Thanks Shane for getting min points and 1st draft up.

I have more to add that was just what i got to when I got distracted. I will add more later on.
Sorry about the tenses I always suck at those.
Ok three brackets.
Mistakes I put down to trying to keep notes and playing two characters, but I figures you or others would fix them up.

All good. I think it's awesome you even take notes. It could fall to other players at times - esp when you do have 2 PCs ;)
(Oh and actually, the tense is pretty good in this lot :) right near end went to present for 1 line - rest pretty good from mem. I just write that as a reminder for myself mainly, b/c when doing these things I tend to switch to present too, but if I keep reminding myself (and others) to keep in past tense it might sink in ;)).

Oh BTW - the link to the Log1 takes you to the editing version of the page?
Also, seems I have a few new Realms Pages to add ;) I will add Oakhurst and Phandalin as Realm Pages soon and then easy to turn those into links too :)
In fact, you can even type them as links and then i use them to make the pages ;) (Or you might discover I already have done such a page and you then discover it :)).

OK. 1st session log edited, added to and pictured :P
I hope other players have a good look.
I have probably inc too many pics - pics that could just go on the Realm pages - but given I haven't done the realm pages yet, they are here ;)
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
BTW Shane… thanks heaps for doing this once again. I appreciate it, I sure hope the other players do.
Grant yourself 20XP. I don't mind how you split it with your PCs. Can all go to one, or even split, or whatever. Cheers :)

Thanks, went with 15 for Darus taking him to full level 3 and remainder to Kavae'lee taking her to 2.75
Chaotic Good: Governments should be afraid of their people.
Cool. Level 3 already. Wow.
Maybe we are a little quick now ;)
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
Yea I was kind of thinking that myself. But I guess this kind of thing is helpful, the actually getting a bit of play testing in on things I mean.
That 20 XP was probably a little generous, but I will take it :) as I have just finished updating both characters to include it :) . I could take most of it off if you really want me to.
Things like that are probably only worth 5 XP at most I think.
But the whole 100 XP will take a little getting used to. I guess to reflect a similar staggered progression like the standard XP you would have to look at awarding less XP as the players levels increase. Might take a little bit of tinkering until we get it to be exactly how we like it.
Chaotic Good: Governments should be afraid of their people.
Seemed fast, but then again, we've been playing Cypher with only 6 levels/tiers to get. ;) Also have not played a lot of D&D using the XP, but looks like you fly through those first 2 levels anyway. So, all good.
I was worried less than an advance was lousy for doing the Adventure Log THB, but then again, got to remember D&D is still level-based, so yeah, need to watch that.
Gotta get used to this XP for quests too where everyone gets the XP. It is not divided ;)
(On XP. I just looked at the sheet you made using Homebrewery. It talks about Tiers, but nowhere mentions what a tier is? Anyway - prob best to reply in the thread where that is over at CC.)
I am happy for you to keep the XP. Especially on top of the fact you are also far and away the most active member in my campaigns. Without your little 'heads ups' I could write pages and pages without a single word being said. A "that looks good" is nice now and then. Not just the 3 days before we play :) So thanks.

With regards to Tiers, I've always thought that was using the Tiers as described at the start of the PHB.
Tier 1 - lvls 1-4
2 - 5-10
3 - 11-16
4 - 17-20

Fair enough
Chaotic Good: Governments should be afraid of their people.
Not sure this will be needed once the realm pages go up. But it is a great idea actually if players need to quickly search for an NPC :).
As long as it is kept up to date of course. :)
(I'm about to go in and edit the Adv Log, add pics etc… then I had best get moving on the Realm pages… though very busy week as I have to get reports done early b4 heading to QLD for 2 weeks. When I get back, it will be all action. I have heaps I want to do).
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
Just seemed like a good idea at the time. Given that it's usually me doing the log, I should be right to add names to a NPC list.
Have fun in QLD
Chaotic Good: Governments should be afraid of their people.
Cool idea - though you might want to check they all match up with those in the Adv Log (now that I have updated and changed all the names ;). Kavae'lee was spelt differently every single time she was mentioned ;)).
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
Just wondering whether the players have had a read and seen all the pics?
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
I have.
Welcome back from up north.
Chaotic Good: Governments should be afraid of their people.
Thanks ;) Sitting at school trying to get the reports done that I did not write before hols :( Still correcting at this stage…
Oh, and I am sure I have mentioned this, but I the names of ALL pictures I include are named. Just place cursor over the picture and their name appears in the file name on bottom left of screen… well it does on mine anyway :)
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
yes, saw the pictures, even lucky the chook
I see Shane has started work on updating this again, and again I ask, can other players pitch in too. Not right before next session; now, whilst fresh in mind.
I also see Shane has started writing it in present tense again (and mixing them). I kinda get sick of editing to past tense - if another player could help do these sorts of things that would save me a lot of time. Please write adventure logs as if everything has already happened; not happening now.
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
Sorry but Shane is and always has been terrible with tense.
Chaotic Good: Governments should be afraid of their people.
Should that b: Shane was and always is terrible with tense ;)
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
Edited the adventure log, added some details here and there, hope it is ok.
Thanks Nicko for additions - looks like it is me editing to past tense though. Still not done.
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
OK, finished editing the Journal. A few easy things to keep in mind for future entries.
Please:
1. Stay in past tense.
2. Finish each point with full stop (for consistency).
3. Stay in 3rd person narrator. (Was switching b/w 3rd and 1st).
Just think about it as if the story of the adventurers was written down at a later point in time.
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
Shane has written the Adv log for last session and I have modified/added to it. Hopefully players read it.
Shane. Only a small entry. Take 1 XP though (+1 more for that RP thing no one else knew about ;)).
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
I was kinda hoping players would fully take this over, but I am wondering whether anyone has even read it since Shane last updated.
It would be nice if other players helped by adding to it, editing it (esp by putting all into past tense), fill in the parts Shane missed including where he puts ???, adding subtitles (like I did early in the log), etc.
I guess I will go edit…
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
OK, I edited the Adv Log.
Try to be consistent with what is bold, in italics, etc. And PAST tense :)
Added Subheadings making it easier to follow or find spots.
Added pictures.
Separated post rescue of Gundren into Adv Log 2.
Please read, add, etc.
(I have two names to look up and fill in).

Fixed a couple of little typos. Fleshed out the bit at the end. Added a picture (not 100% accurate, but I think paints a good visual idea).

Nice pic :D
And you know what, with the ledges at each end, this 'mess hall' is actually more cavern like, so pic is not totally inaccurate on that part. :)
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
I see Shane has updated again…. and again, not past tense.
Well, very first line is, then it switches to present tense… anyone else want to edit this to past tense? And add anything Shane may have missed.
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
Shane is/was/will be terrible with tenses.
Chaotic Good: Governments should be afraid of their people.
Thanks again Shane. I will have another read and do some more edits when I get a chance :) And add in the pics etc. :)
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry S. Truman
Oh, and SHane, thanks again for this. I know I find it handy. And it takes time.
Please take 4 XP for this entry and spread as you please among your PCs :)

Shane - just replied to a post I made almost a year ago. Go to end of page 2 of this forum where I have some questions for you.
