Hah! I'd forgotten it was my birthday :P Off for a meal with the missus tonight and then off to the in-laws on Friday. These banal details of my life may bore you but they also mean the new estimated kick off is sometime this weekend.
As a tease and to show good faith I'll leave you with an image of the opening corridor.
OOOooooOOoooooh! Mysterious!

I see what looks like a grill and a monster-mouth ready to drop horrible things on anyone opening that door, a conspicuous box-in-the-wall that I want to pull out but will probably kill me, and an attention-grabbing path of darker, more regular mosaic tiles on the ground!
Aside from jdarksun’s stats leader board I also intend to run the official DM’s leaderboard. Only tracking a single stat but providing the official ‘winner’ of the dungeon. It’s all about the loot baby! I’ll track the GP value of all treasure found during a character’s tenure in the dungeon as there’s a large amount of cash and gems scattered about the place. No need to make dull trips back to town to bank the treasure, as soon as the party gains a shiny then the loot score for all living members will be added to. Magic items rated at resale value (1/10th market price).
Thus I hope to encourage some risk taking in the name of greed and glory!

What about killing each other for treasure? Is that allowed

We wouldn't get anywhere if that was the case.
Hey, that's not true, we'd make to the first treasure room at the very least before we tk each other. Maybe even the 2nd if the first one sucks.

I couldn't pick characters so I'll leave it up to you decide which of your submissions are going in. Feel free to discuss and make a balanced team, or not, it's up to you.
Good show. We've got enough characters to get this thing started soon then. I'll give it until Weds for any last minute subs and then I'll pick my victims and we'll kick things off Thursday (ish).
Some notes on how this will roll.
- I'll be rolling pretty much all your perception skill checks so you don't know if there's really nothing there or you just rolled a 1.
- No passive perception. Or at least no 'take 10' passive perception anyway. There's just far too much to be watching all the time in this place. I'll roll perception for you in secret where appropriate, but feel free to specify specific searches. If for example you were to declare that you were 'Walking up the corridor, checking the walls for secret doors,' then I'd make two perception rolls for you when you pass that secret door, one for the passive and one for the active.
- Out of combat we'll be going with a semi-round based system. You all declare your intentions (which can be as simple as 'watch Jim open the chest through my fingers', or 'follow 10 feet behind Jim') and then I'll tell you what plays out. If 24hrs pass with us waiting for your post then you'll be standing still and doing nothing.
- Erm, I think that about covers it. I'm new to running PbP so feel free to offer better ways of doing things if you see me making a hash of something.
Any rolls to be made on Invisible Castle or Orokos as you prefer. Be sure to use the campaign name 'Jam's ToH' so I can check up on any cheating.

So if we want something resembling a normal party, Streever and Steelhawk go striker and controller, since that's all they got, Farangu leader since he's our only one, then at least me or KamikazeCommunist throw down a defender. Or throw caution to the wind and run something like 2 controllers and 3 strikers.

This is suprising and awesome. Yeah, Derek will be our controller and if your rouge bites it Derek can handle the locks and traps until our replacement gets here.

300 GP on the scoreboard.
Those gloves are some serious bullpoop. Damn Dragon Magazine...
Edit: Did we actually open the chest to see what was inside of it?

I'll spoiler you a little. There is no shop in The Tomb so worrying about loot split otherwise isn't really a worry :P
