				Peachfuzz's questions:<br><br><strong>Should I fill out the "player planning" portion for my own wants/desires/character?</strong><br><br>Fantastic Question. I need/want two sets of wants/desires:<br>1) What you do and don't want as a player and what your character wants. This is like the main stage in a Kink club - I need to understand what the audience wants.<br>2) What a specific character wants. This helps the GM and player create experiences for a particular character. <br><br><strong>Is this campaign open world?</strong><br>Yes, but it's early days. I've one other GM, Isengrad, and only a few games running. I'm looking for other GMs.<br><br><strong>Can I write a list of goals and wants to maximize my experience and apply it to my character's story arc? </strong><br>Yes, but don't just write a list of goals - interact with the GM and other players, adding items to the world (e.g., people, places, things, groups) that will interact with the goals. <br><br><strong>Who would I speak to about such things?</strong> <br><br>RedKnight/Purplerook and all the other players<br><br><strong>Is there a limit to how many characters one can make?</strong><br><br>There is no limit to the # of characters. However, there is a limit to the number that can be active. Character level is based on the number of games a player has GMed/Played. So, you can create a 3rd level character, and then after playing a Game (an Episode 4-5 Months), you can Level up the character and or create a new 4th level character.<br><br><strong>Any homebrew rules?</strong><br>For Crossroads, the rules are primarily around level and treasure (which will be based on level). However, each GM is free to add/use homebrew rules in their adventures.<br><br><strong>Any links I should have?</strong><br><br>see the Whiteboard (below) and Crossroads Guidelines<br><br><strong>What races are acceptable?</strong><br><br>Right now, any Official WotC content (including Monsters of Multiverse). More to the point, talk with me (RedKnight/Purplerook). I'm pretty good and re-skinning official content to create a unique look.<br><br>A few questions to get me caught up. If someone has extra info that would be useful/helpful, please share!<br>

				Why I'm on Elliquiy:<br><br>I'm on Elliquiy for two reasons. First, RPGCrossing has a strict PG-13 limit on content (no profanity, no explicit sex). Second, RPGCrossing does not allow advertising games to be played off-site (e.g., Discord Games).<br><br>The chaotic nature of Crossroads and the game.<br><br>Before I retired, I specialized in Lead-Agile Software Management, which involves running many experiments. A lot of Crossroads is my experimenting with things that I might not be able to do on RPGCrossing. Currently, I'm trying to push more of the Leadership/Organization for this game onto the players. Additionally, I'm trying using the Crossroads framework without necessarily utilizing the Crossroad/cross-dimensional IC hook.<br><br>Do ask questions (most/many of the answers) need to make it back into the Crossroads Guide. Also, feel free to provide feedback on what you do/don't like.

				@Players,<br><br>We have excited by Monster Partners. This item lets me chat about a couple of topics.<br><br>First Game vs. Player. Monsters/Beast is a kink that can be a strong turn on/off. For some people, it is about sentience/consent. So, intelligent monsters are ok, but having sex with an actual animal is a turn-off - think talking dog vs. mundane dog. It is about fantasy vs. reality for other people - think sex with a Blink Dog vs. an ordinary dog. Finally, fantasy allows shape-changing - think of a human having sex with a dog vs. a shape-changed person into a dog having sex with a dog.<br><br>Second, excited-by means that the action is likely to happen in a story. I might insert a Monster that is interested in sex into the story. However, whether or not it happens will be based on the characters' actions/preferences. Of course, Dub-Con and or Non-Con could put a spin on the choice to engage in sex. However, that's a conversation for another time.<br><br>&nbsp;

				Background, I would not tie your background feature to Crossroads. I had initially thought that all the groups would be tied to Crossroads, but this is the second group that appears to want something not tied to Crosssroads. I’m going to run these two adventures and the figure out what to do about Crossroads.<br><br>There is a background that allows the character to have discovered some ‘Secret’. I haven’t figure out exactly what is going on in or with Nowhere, but you could have a secret relevant to Nowhere.<br><br>Wand of the War Mage is an Uncommon magic item, which I’m reluctant to give out, unless all of the player decide they want to add an uncommon magic item (high magic game).<br><br>Also, please take a look at the Whiteboard and the Appendix on Spell selection.

				@Muse, You need to get Cassandra into the Characters list for Crossroads.<br><br>@players, Muse, and Peach have posted in the OOC thread. AndyZ, Crabmouse, and Peach have responded to some PMs about their characters. Zaer has a character left over from an earlier game.<br><br>Overall, I'm a bit concerned about exactly how many players/characters will be in this adventure. There were seven names on the PM and in the Whiteboard, but I haven't heard from several. If you have not already posted in this OOC thread, please post over the weekend.<br><br>Right now, we have a Druid (Peach), two Sorcerers (AndyZ and Crabmouse), and a Warlock (Muse).

				AndyZ, Crabmouse, Muse, Peachfuzz221:<br><br>You've all expressed your interest in this adventure.&nbsp; Please take a look at the Whiteboard. It's how I keep straight all of the information on a game.&nbsp; The link below allows Players to edit the document. Please feel free to add additional information that you feel is relevant.<br><br>This brings me to a few key points:<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Discord vs. Elliquiy. It seems there is a general preference/consensus for Discord, but I'm open either way - I've got one game in Elliquiy and another in Discord.</li><li>Romance: It seems several folks are interested in Romance. I've added a romance table and may use it to create appropriate NPCs.</li><li>Combat/AC: My rule of thumb is that Tier 1 Monsters are +3 to +4 to attack. With AC 15, this means getting hit about 40% of the time (on a 12 or better). A Shield Spell will cut this to 15%. Additionally, other defensive spells (e.g., Mirror Image, Blur) can reduce it further. Since this seems to be a combat-heavy (see Game Palette) adventure, you may want to pick up a melee-heavy NPC or companion.</li></ul><br>Whiteboard: Road to Nowhere (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FJsC9yGy1G1ttWQNWMsW7IRcBfBaqQ01RujNOYY38KY/edit?usp=sharing)

Give me a day or two to get a server up.<br><br>What I prefer is 1) Character Bio similar to Darius's Bio. (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339780.msg16108540#msg16108540) The Bulleted format lets me rapidly pick up the essential character details (for Crafting the story). Additionally, I like a Character sheet with the mechanical details. DnD Beyond, MythWeavers, and Google Docs are all acceptable formats.<br><br>A caution folks, I'm juggling a lot of balls right now. I'm GMing four games (including this one) right now, I usually try and limit myself to two or three. Also, I'm working on improving several of my tools - e.g., Game Palette, Crossroads Guide, and Whiteboard.<br><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>A few rules.<br><br>Note, I count an adventure (4-6 combat scenes, 4-6 non-combat scenes) as 1 adventuring day. The PCs get one long rest at the beginning of an adventure and then two short rests during the adventure (can be taken on a character-by-character basis).<br><br>This leads to some interesting complications with spells (e.g., Goodberry, Mage Armor) that last for more than one encounter. Generally, I count spells that will last 8 hours or more as lasting for the duration of an adventure.<br><br>Rest Casting. This is casting a spell immediately before resting (long or short) and then recovering the spell slots.&nbsp; Goodberry (lasts 24 hours) appears to be designed to be abused by rest casting. I will allow a Druid to start with 10 Goodberrys (not the 40+ that is theoretically possible) that will last for the duration of the adventure.<br><br>Check with me if you have a question about specific spells. <br>

Elliguiy is so much better for organizing individual responses and seeing where you are in a narrative but discord is much better for chatting and rolling dice.
