Or will it be Esmet this time? :P
Fine. I mark my territory in the secondmost-choice spot.
:sulks:
Though I am quite honored to be mentioned by the esteemed ST. :D Okay, that makes up for everything!
That wall shouldn't be there... Oh!
A new noise thread! Neb and Esmie are here :inlove: And I'm also here
YAY!!!! :D :bounce: :D
I was asleep when this was created. :P
Good morning.
Cool a new Noise.
What to do first: vacuum, or commence the new sewing project? I vote... drink more coffee!
I need some orange juice. G'morning all.
*Claims 11th post.*
One small step for mankind, one giant step for dwarves! :D

"oh, sorry sir" *bows to the wall and hits his head*
"any1 have coffee or some elven spirit?"
Being the macho man that I am though, I believe I reacted pretty well to the situation.
I bravely freaked out, throwing the spider across the room. Then I ran heroicaly away to the other computer in the house.

Im so proud of you Drav!!
I've lost track of all the 'pet spiders' my 11-yr old has captured and left in bionicle containers around the apartment...
Bionicles.
Now thos are scary! :sad:
I wouldn't react very well to opening a jar full of spiders. Or a 1,000 Legos lying across the floor. 
Unfortunatly in my moment of passion I forgot to let out my warrior cry.Bah! Spiders, snakes, and other creatures that bite or sting... number 3 on things I react "badly" to. (Note that there is an exceptional for men with spider powers)
Though, I wonder, what the heck am I doing here now as everything is still locked and I'm stuck to two conversations.
I hate the beach.... love sandy eggo hate the beach... no matter what i do i burn to a crisp.
sorry i havent been around lately. Life has decided im its personal joke and has been really screwing with me the last few days. i just havent been in the right mindset for a while.
but my group managed to get me to run an eberron game last night, so i think im back in the mind set... sorta... if i was ever in the mind set to begin with. heh
Seems that their bites are only rarely fatal so ... I ain't feeling any safer.
/me remembers that my fingers aren't numb, just my mouth.
Just got back from having all four wisdom teeth from their mother's womb untimely ripped. (apologies to Shakespeare) It actually wasn't bad at all, it was less than 20 minutes for the whole thing. Unfortunately I have a craving for deep dish pizza...and I can't have any!! WAH!!
That's a rather shallow similarity, I suppose. But add, on top of that, trying to explain what "non-touristy things" I do in my spare time.
If any of you know of Garfield the cat, I had one of his Monday's yesterday.
I get to work knowing that I have many things to do. Sleeve signs for new products that went up and such. Then I get the call that they need help with pulls in the back. While pulling I drop a large jar of Miricale Whip on the floor and it makes a mess with glass in it. (Worst kind of spill for a product we sell IMO)
I used a broom and a shovel to clean it up since I am unable to locate a dustpan. The only problem is that the Miricale Whip keeps falling off and the broom only smears it around more. I go to the cleaning closet to get a mop and bucket. I end up spilling the water all over myself. At this point I am laughing at myself lots.
I then decide it is time for lunch before the world ends. :P I forget to clock out for lunch. Duh me! I work really hard the rest of the night and have other minor annoyances caused by myself. Then at 1 am getting home I see a black dog two apartment buildings away. I walk to my door and as I am unlocking it I hear something behind me. Turning around I am startled to see the same dog as before who saw me and decided to follow me to my door.
I shout very startled in the breezeway and it is LOUD..... then as the dog runs off frightened, I lean against the door realizing that Monday is over rather late while laughing manically.
Die Monday die..... :D
I hope you're okay! And, oh dear, your new car... :sad:
But all and all I was extremely lucky. I didn't leave anything laying in the road like the other cars did. Very strange since the guy that hit me was the only one not trying to stop.
And I found a penny in the middle of the road.
i still havent posted mine.....
(who is a lvl 1 elf sorc,male btw but thats as far as ive gotten)
*Note to self, pay attention to what characters the new guys have......*
*Puts note to self in his pocket to me remembered later.*
Erm.... sorry about that and to all the newbies that I've probably missed over the year or such, sorry!
That note would probably be easier to use if it was in post-it form and stuck to your desk and or monitor. I do it all the time keeps me from loosing things although it does clutter up my desk frame and the side of teh dresser next to my desk abit. :embarrass

Oh, and Mir, email sent
Had hoped to finally catch up here, but I need sleep badly. I'm not sure what I'll be able to get done here this week. I'll do what I can, but things are looking hectic.
My special guest went home today. I'm sad now. A wonderful two days of bliss, not to return again, perhaps not even when I see him again on the college campus! Oh, the humanity! :sad:
Whoo. I'm dizzies. Going to bed now, and hope to catch up on summaries over the next two days in time for three parties on Saturday and a barbecue on Sunday. PARTY LIKE IT'S 1999, PEOPLE--ie, RETRO style! :D

Hello Everyone :D

Yay... finally the WotC Europe has shipped Annihilation to Finland. (With luck Serpent Kingdoms and Lady of Poison have also arrived.) :D - JS, saying this regardless of the danger getting warning from a WizO for mentioning a novel written to certain world on these boards.
I'M GOING TO CRASH!
My car got almost wrecked even before I've had a chance to drive it. Bit over a month ago my friend was driving it on highway when left front wheel cracked itself loose and my friend had to steer then three wheeled car to the ditch. Luckily he didn't get hurt in it, just bit spooked. And my Volvo ended up to repair shop... (and there's a full another story about that thing.
)A really, really, bad day.
I'm going away until it gets better.
Sorry.
FYI: s6e7 is the Musical Episode of Buffy.
Does anyone else think it would be fun (and worthwhile) to write songs about things that have happened in GsC and record them?
Or am I just crazy? I mean... "crazy in an obstructing such a project" way. (I already know I am "weird.")
I am not sure if it will be entertaining or not.
It would interesting though. Very interesting indeed.
Edit: Dang you to the foulest pits of the Earth for making me remember the songs and getting them stuck in my head.
I will walk, through the fire and let it ... buuuuurrn.
Let it buuuuurrrrrrn.
DANG YOU!
Besides, I'm quite sure Tensek would try to kill himself then. :P

I didn't mind the heat so much, though. Being warm to the tips of my fingers and toes is a nice change for me from shivering through half the cold, cold year!

Maybe we should then look into wrapping things up in that sc.. I mean, thread. I'll start to aim for that, now then.

I put up two pints of apple butter!
Events beyond my control resulted in it instead becoming dinner.
It's been too long a day, but I'm hoping that stability will finally arrive tomorrow.
Goodnight.
I'm the one in yellow, and my guest was the one behind me.
Yeah, that was a gooood day. :D
Well, until I figure out all that, if you need to email me, use one of my other addresses. Not my work address, though. :P
SEE YAS!
Mirielle, oh mighty pinkynessy, dame of all that is light-rosed, Tyros is going over to your house to try and talk to you... even if you're not there. Are you still around, or in a vacation? Cuz, I might need you to roleplay your family and all.
Tyros
At your own pace. I was just wondering if you could still DM your parents and Apprentice?Hmmm looks like another day of nothing. :sad:
Ooooo French Toast!

Question: If you wanted to create a magic item, but didn't have one of the prerequisite spells, can you work with someone else who has the necessary spell, using your XP but having them cast the spell?
Yes, you can. DMG, pg 282, right column. Bit of an obscure clause, but it's there.
Collaborative crafting means Tynk, with Craft Wonderous Item, could cooperate with Gamis, who can cast bull's strength, to craft a belt of giant strength. Tynk has to furnish the XP and raw materials, but Gamis just gives up a spell slot. In the same way, Miri, collaborating with Tynk, could craft a shocking weapon with Tynk providing lightning bolt and Miri enchanting the weapon. Or Miri providing fireball for Silmarwen to craft a flaming weapon.
Same goes for potions--Gamis has furnished lesser restoration for Miri to brew a potion containing that spell, and some IC talk has passed between Natala and Miri of Nat providing higher-level spells for Miri to make stronger healing potions.
Congrats to Drav for leveling up :D
I'll be around even though its lockdown day :P

Hey Esgir, this is Ivan Granitehammer. Remember me? Good to see you are still alive and kicking.
So... the gnome of 1/4 of a mind returns? With potato tattoo? (That was very novel idea.) :P
Sorry for not posting yesterday, everyone. The inet connection in the campus broke down and thusly a I couldn't gain access to the boards...
All good now, though. :DTyros

You did but only because you're a late comer to the game. ;)
You see way back when in teh time of mass Trebling, and the original dms, rest their sigs. THere was a Gnome and a Halfling that caused lot's and lot's of trouble. Now one Halfling you'd know to be Hermy the great hero, and the Gnome well he was Esgir. And well back when Hermy wan't so Heroic, and Esgir was actually alive they'd cause ruckuses in the Last Lich Inn. The owner at the time, we'll call him Cog cause that was his name, didn't look to highly on that. So he'd pick them up and hang them from the coat rack so they couldn't move. Actually at one point he also poured Tanglefoot glue all over them to keep them up there. Some say the ghost of Cog still haunts the LLI looking for misbehaving Halflings and Gnomes to hang from thr coat rack. So if you ever see a Halfling hanging from the back of the ir cloak be wary for Cog might be after you next!
Thank you Tensek (*checks spelling of name*) I love stories of them olden days. :D
Also no driver's license yet.
Because I...
FAILED!
I am still a bit depressed by that, but didn't expect to pass after I almost hit another car. Hopefully I will do better when I try again next week.
Better luck next time, then, Drav.

It was either the forearm or the ankle, but it was very painful. I wondered if the dwarf who gave him the tattoo was a sadist. :P

And I'll get to affectionately bother -- ALL the time! -- my Korean twin (born on the same DAY as me!) because he's in the same sponsor group! AND I'll get to see one of my sophomore buddies all the times! All the times!

Where's the happy dance smilie when you need it?
As for Darkar, he's probably been smoking that Mother's Soul Grass.
Dude...
:PBy the way, Esmie, your sig's ubb-code tags are bit messed up.
Besides there's no rhyme or reason for Tensek to meet Verinal. :P
I get home from work and receive a phone call from Bank of America. They have a guy with a check from us that appears to have been 'washed' and she wanted to verify it.
Indeed, the check was not made out to whom it was supposed to be (ie, the mortgage company), but to some guy that, of course, I've never heard of before.
Needless to say, we have called our bank and they are chaning the account number that we've had for more than sixteen years.
There were two other checks in there too, so we'll see what happens. They haven't been cashed yet, so it shouldn't be a problem.
This is our second time with Identity Theft in two years.
I'll be in and out this evening.
Sadly, mail stolen from mailboxes is an increasingly common problem. I'm so happy that my apartment complex has a locked mailbox.That's not at all nice Brodda...I hereby revoke the mean person's cookie priveliges.
I had a problem over the summer with someone trying to pick up my packages at the college mailroom. Good thing I have a unique signature.
I better find myself a unique signature. Mine seems too simple. Besides, unique ones look coolers.That really sucks Brodda, I hope that guy doesn't cash those checks.......
Hopefully, concentration will be an option soon as well. At least I can handle cold beverages again.

"Don't worry, that mean old Codrian doesn't know what he's talking about."
Universal Solvent? As in that 50 gp wondrous item that can be used to unsticky all kinds of things. (Though I wouldn't recommend drinking it to constipation.) ;)
I'll check in if I have time between errand, dinner, and meeting, and again when I get back. If Brodda needs NPC'ing to move things along, just remember, she isn't crazy for tea unless it's laced with ale (think 'waterskin') ;)

He is either an amateur or stupid. He tried cashing one while it was still wet after being washed. That's what alerted the bank that something was off.. Our own bank is aware of the problem and has been notified which checks are at risk.
But thanks
OMIGOSHIEEEES!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT FER SCHOOL TO START SOON! C'mon, Pomona, c'mon, c'mon, wheeeeeeeee, hug the giant palm trees! Pomonapomonapomonapomonapomonapomona!

Also, I was a totally different person. I wish you all could've been there to see it (also, my digital camera officially sucks)! My sister even admitted that I had changed for the better. God it was weird, the first two days I couldn't sign to save my life (before YLF 2004, I hadn't signed for a year). But the second night, I was staring at the ceiling and all my ASL from years back poured back into my brain!
I'm going to probably be doing an extended leave (I might head back to Davis or Sac State to be more involved in Disability Culture. Even if I don't, I need to get away from the computer. Not sure when I will be back, but D&D just hasn't been as much fun lately... And I was geniunely happy helping out other people with disabilities.
I am a terrible person though, before the dance (after the PA's set up the decorations), I grabbed a pair of delegates and got their help with my hair! First time I ever had it spiked. Apparently I proved that White Boys can dance, sort of.
In other news, I am getting ready to move to my new Davis permanent address! I'm really excited because it will be my first true place (even if I share it with another guy).
-Jonathan
P.S.: those wondering what my disabilities are, here is a list: AD/HD, Dyslexia, and Dysgraphia. However, I think I might also have "Chronic Dancing Syndrome" because I had Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body stuck in my head since Saturday... so I was dancing everywhere I went. *tear* It is still in my head!

New since we've been gone: he winks. Very cute.
I'll not be posting further tonight. We have a car to unpack, a house to put back in order, and a concert to attend. I wanted to say hello to all, though, and I'll be around soon.
Oh well, another day of relaxing in my house. I guess I should post something about Aramil, seeing as how I couldn't the past two days........
Has someone any concise notes about Hent Manavelis trip, or even the thread archived somewhere? I have some recollections, but some of stuff in my head is bit contradictory with each other.
*crawls back to his hole*
Vacation day, four pints of apple butter put up, happy times with a special person, and now I'm off to watch a friend's daughters perform in a community theatre production of Rapunzel
See y'all tonight!
Hello all. Interesting discussion with Darkar. How does one try to explain how to trance anyway?
Anyway, my Gamma World game just increased by 75% (
) so planning for that will take up a little more time then before.The good news is that I have DSL at home again (only 256, but it's beautiful thing).
Thosar is about, FYI for all. He'll be finishing up that blasted shed for Mrs. Weatherby over the next few weeks, but other then that he's open for business. ;)
I'm off to de-stress with a little Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Night!
Let's see if I can finally catch up.
"You are here to have fun," they said. "Make sure that happens," they said. Ignorance as a matter of policy leaves a lot to be desired.
I'll be around today, well except for the part about going School Shopping *Shudders*

Oh, btw Mirri, we are 15 days into the crafting of the mithril shirt so I think there is only like 2 months and 20 days left?????

Thanks, Shae. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things myself. I'm getting ahead of myself again. Let me explain.
So I go from a cold to a leg pain to a DDR tournament (in which I performed abyssmally in the tryouts: not Abyss, abysmally -- but I could have passed Bag if I'd gotten down on all fours and hopped like a frog; would that I could say that I didn't do that because I had some dignity, but the truth is that I didn't do it because it didn't occur to me until after the song was done that it would have worked on the Little steps modifier) to discovering that I am working straight through my weekend this week.
This always puts me in a contrary mood. I've got a few days off coming up at the end of the week, so I won't be here for those either. Both of these things were going to coincide with the servicing of the boards, but alas, that's not until the end of the month now.
So this next week is almost going to be a write-off as well. Almost.
I wonder, is this joke going past those two youngsters?
Call me a fogey! I'll hit you with my cane! And get off my lawn! And get a haircut! And a job, ya hippie!
:POh! Oh my back! My back went out again!

It was an awesome trip, but it's good to be back. now I have some ideas about what to do with Lucyan.
I just hope these plans don't involve tentacles, monsters with tentacles, or crossdressing.

Infectious Diseases drill ... Two wasted hours.
Angry patients ... 40 minute headache.

Thanks for the calimari. :D
*alien style stomach explosion technique*
Maybe this's enough of this.

Everyone else: Maelut is now caught back up to the current city time (unless my calculations are off), so please feel free to come by Nobody's for a drink. He'll be around for a while (barring any unforseen demonic posessions).
...
This means that I have to shell out another $30-35 for what was supposed to be a convention draw, because the advertising material didn't make this clear. (Yeah, check the website. Good grief. Well, it could be less useful information wise. It could be a Canadian government website.) Oh, yeah, and hope that they don't sell out on the advance tickets.
And maybe tell us what the food being served is.
And how long the opening act will be playing, since it's only a two hour concert. (Safer than a three hour tour, I'm sure.) Not everyone is going to be happy if they spend the first hour listening to a guy who made his career in writing and not folk music performing songs from his thirty-plus years of songwriting.
Ah, well. At least we have a room.
I hope we have a room. I can't get straight answers on that yet. I have found out that I have to try to arrange it for one more night by myself, since I don't feel like trying to lug everything out on Sunday morning and either finding a place to store it or else having to haul it back home (whereupon I would likely just skip all of the Sunday events, rather than take the train home and back again).
So that's now a matter of booking a room I'm not sure I have for one more night, with no idea what it's going to cost per night (I have been told it's roughly a hundred dollars a night -- not sure if that will be per person or not, in which case I'm not sure why my roommate thought booking a double room would be saving money).
Five days off. Just have to look at this as five days in a row off. Yes, vacation. Very overdue, this. At least there's a DDR machine within ... (let me check my math here, carry the...) four blocks of the con space, and I'll still be able to get in dance time even after the concert (especially important if it goes bad).
Downtown for the weekend. Well, it's an excuse to visit my favourite Indian restaurant, which thankfully will be open on Saturday, unlike a lot of downtown. (Funny place, downtown. Much of it operates only for the 9-5 Monday to Friday business crowd. This was a bit annoying to me when I lived there and worked nights. Still, at least nowadays I know what's open outside of those hours, including where I can find Chinese food at three in the morning on a Saturday or snack food at any hour of the day while not having to walk more than three blocks).

I can see by how long I've rambled that I'm still incoherent. Obviously I need more sleep, so I'm afraid I'm still a write-off. Sorry, folks. Going back to bed now.
I'm STOKED! I adore my roommate, and I adore Daniel, Danny, David, and Anthony, and then there're going to be so many other cool, smart people at Pomona--and four of us have already made plans to have a Durian Party sometime after we get on campus!
Yay! :bounce: I :heart: Pomona! :heart: :heart: :heart: giant palm trees!
My only dilemma now is: Do I continue learning the more widely-used Spanish, or do I follow my heart to learn Chinese, Japanese, or Korean--even though odds are I will never use these, once finished with school, and will consequently forget them?

I don't understand the dilemma. Why must learning a language be an either/or issue?
Because I take four classes a semester, and I can't afford for two of those four to both be language classes.

Evening folks. Been very busy/tired/both since my return to native soil and am still busy right now, but I didn't want to postpone saying hi any longer. I was going to wait until I had a couple of hours to catch up on what has been happening, but it doesn't look like that'll be possible soon enough. I'm off again for a while right now, but I solemnly promise to be back tonight.
After reviewing things for the past few days, and finally having caught up enough to comment on them, I have a request. If you leave a post that requires a DM's attention or response, let the DM know.
I admit that I'd prefer not to be alerted by IM, though. It may have to do with two many windows showing up when I'm trying to do other things.
Sorry if I'm being unreasonable.
And if any of you has been wondering about my post in the SSAG, this is the reason, I'm leaving for vacation with my family soon, so I won't be here for a week or so, so I took the liberty to post what Aramil is going to be doing for that week.
If you would like to know where we are going I'll tell you, we are going to Washington D.C. :D Its going to be lots of fun, I can't wait to go :D
See you guys when I get back.
Welcome back, Ran. And NaShae. And Shorn. And Esgir. And me?
Congratulations to Dravenous on his license. Incidentally, I am 37 and have never taken a driving test. My father finds this incomprehensible.

Went to see the newest member of my RL hodre. Even at only a few hours old he was already causing trouble. (My other nephews were fighting over who got to be his big brother. I convinced them they all could be. Even though technically one of them is just his cousin.)
And then got lost trying to show Therokke and his girlfriend the big stinky lake. I never realised that once you got past a certain point, there was no place to turn around for a hundred miles or so.
On the plus side, they did get to see the salt flats, and spend a few hours in a Wendover, Nevada casino while Therokkes got a tire fixed. (Just the thing someone who just finished the 6 hour drive from Las Vegas wants to do.) I won enough money there to treat us all to a pack of gum!
And now I must get to bed. I've got to drive the piano my dad built up into the moutains for a fun filled day of listening to people I'm distantly related too sing songs I've never heard. And explain exactly 437 times that I'm my dads son, not my uncles. (I have no idea why, but it happens every year.)
Hopefully I'll have some free time on Sunday to get a bit more done here.

I thought you were only half-elf!
The year after, we moved to a different province. I eventually got a chance to go see back one year, only he moved from Nova Scotia to British Columbia (clear across Canada, and "Canada's really big," as the song puts it [but I'll spare you the rest of the lyrics this time]), and so was no longer a regular guest at HalCon (the convention in question).
However, the second year I lived here (in Calgary, not Garic's City), he appeared at the local science fiction convention, ConVersion. I was looking forward to attending...
-- and ended up having to work thirty hours that weekend. (Yes, that weekend. My regular days off at the time. Argh.)
Three other times I missed him, twice because I was stuck working on the weekend of the event (missing him in Calgary and Lethbridge), and once because my mother (in the Vancouver area, when I went out to see him at a local convention there) ended up planning events that weekend that kept me from having time to go visit. (You can't run out on the mother you've not seen in over two decades just to go see some science fiction author, even if you have spent the better part of the week with her beforehand. It's just not done, you know?)
But this weekend just past, I had the days booked off. Despite a number of complications at work (we're short-staffed again), I was free to make the convention. My train didn't break down. I didn't take sick. I was not hit by a bus while waiting in the preregistration line. Everything looked good.
And then I learned that Spider Robinson had been taken to the hospital shortly after arriving in Calgary.
He ended up staying there throughout the entire event, but it does sound like he'll be okay, from the sound of things, thankfully. Nevertheless, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I shouldn't have gone to the convention after all, if only for the sake of his health.
At least I got to sign the card the convention sent to him, which allows me to return a favour. You see, when he was in Lethbridge, a friend of mine brought down one of his books (Night of Power, which is a rather unusual piece from him) to sign, and he wrote in it (after she explained how many times I'd missed events where he was appearing), "We've got to stop not meeting like this."
So of course I wrote this in the card: "We've still got to stop not meeting like this." Maybe he'll remember and maybe he won't. Knowing a little bit about how his mind works from his essays and enjoyment of wordplay (especially puns), I'm sure he'll at least be curious -- and hopefully I'll get to explain it to him next year, since they're trying to arrange for means to bring him back again.
(He may not be the official guest of honour or anything, but they were looking forward to having him play for an hour before the Arrogant Worms, since he's also something of a folk musician. Hmm... that doesn't really do him justice, because it carries certain preconceptions that don't fit him. I don't know many folk singers who've written a song about a transamerican pub crawl, for example.)
Anyway, that's one of this weekend's odd events. Another one was buying a copy of TSR's original Deities and Demigods, back before it was renamed Legends and Lore to avoid certain attention, and back even before two sections were removed from it because someone else held the license to the fictional characters in question (both were based on fiction, rather than on actual pantheons that were or are recognized by a number of people). What made that curious was that I got it from a seventeen year old girl who was just parting with her spare copy -- a spare copy of a book that was older than her and very hard to find even before she was born. (It was out of print back when I was younger than she is now.) Very grateful was I that she would sell it to me. Most amused that I had to meet her in a parkade to make the purchase.
"You got the book?"
"Yeah. You got the cash?"
"Here."
"Thanks. Now, what's the password?"
"Ph'nglui mglw'nath Cthulu R'lyeh wagh'nagl fhta-choo!"
"...Close enough."
"Here's a tissue."
"...Thank you."
"Pleasure doing business with you."
"...If it's all the same, I'd rather we didn't shake hands at the moment..."
I also picked up an original 1st Edition PHB again, recompleting my 1st Ed hardbound collection. I waited too long to pick up The Cult of the Reptile God, though, and missed out. It always struck me as a pretty good module -- very simple, very easily tailored to suit the DM's needs. The rules were still very subject to interpretation, but the author had a consistent vision for the plot, and it read pretty well. It might not be so well received in 3rd Edition rules, but I think it could have reasonably been adapted, considering the premise.
Hmm. I could go on (and on and on and on and on...), but I'll skip it. I'll just say that I need more sleep after this, I forgot to take in much programming again, I ate very, very well, and I will eventually conclude that I had a good time. (I did, in fact, have much reason to have had a good time. Fatigue interfered with that on a few occasions, but that's just like having drag interfere with lift in an aircraft -- ultimately, the plane got airborne.)
Now to check my budget for the next week, grab some breakfast, and get back to bed. Got to be rested up before I go back to work, and back to this.

A quick note to everyone, one of my minor petpeeves, tomatoes weren't eaten until the late 1500's and then only in Italy. Also potatoes are a new world veg. I don't know how this world goes for tomatoes and potatoes here (this particular universe of DnD) but thats medieval Europe for you.

But only if we're talking about Europe, of course. ;)
You are correct about potatoes, naturally, but since the game includes a price for Raleigh's other cargo (tobacco), we have to allow that this isn't medieval Europe.
Having said that, I'll still remind people that chocolate is still a rare commodity in this city. Call it a personal quirk, but there's value in the substance called theobroma cacao ("the food of the gods") and even now the real stuff is harder to aquire. ;)

Beets and broccoli are from Europe. So is lettuce. Okra is from Africa.
But the potato, tomato and turkey thing accually bugs me. This was mostly developed when there is a "medieval Europe" feast at school and people bring roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and speghetti.
Boirin, you are saying that someone has planted all these blueberry and cranberry bushes to Finland? Or if someone has even imported them here, I am quite amazed they've spread so throughout the country that it's been natural for people to go pick them from forests at least couple hundred years. Hmm... so that would say that someone brought a blueberry bush here in 16th century, and by 18th there was no forest here that wouldn't have them. And besides, where were those blueberries brought into Europe then?
First off I'm stealing all my info from my mom who did medieval studies in college and has done lots of research since then, its sort of her long term hobby. She also wrote a book, in its second edition now, with medieval cooking styles and recepies.:D
Okay Codrian heres what I've been told, blueberries were introduced in the 1500's so they would probably be in common serculation by the 1600's, giving them 500 years to grow in Europe and there for be pretty common.
Cranberries are, as far as I know, indiginous to North America. They were probably brought back to Europe during the colonial times. If you have a documented source of cranberries being indiginous to Europe I would like to see it, since cranberries are yummy.
Firstly, the berry you are calling blueberry is not actually the exact same plant which is indeed indigenous to Europe and been use in here god knows how long but is nowadays called the same.
The plant known as blueberry for you is, I think at least nowadays, designated as American blueberry or something similar in Europe. And the plant that is "blueberry" for me (you can thank school and textbooks for that) is something called "bilberry" for you.
So, it is that you were correct in saying that blueberry as you know it didn't came to Europe until 16th century. That it probably did, but that plant never came to be very common in Scandinavia nor did spread to the wilds.
(Was I confusing enough? But that should clear it up, I believe. )
Anyone who wants someone to interact for a scene this evening* can feel free to contact me, either by posting here, posting the start of a scene to NMS, or pinging me on AIM. I'm wanting to post, but I feel rusty about starting a scene without someone to interact with.
*That's evening my time, Codfish. :P
Oh, and the bok you were asking about earlier isn't from Philly. But the writer is from NY, and the author of Birth Controll in America and Making a New Deal, Industrial Workers in Chacago. I think that explains it there.

Bilberries ar on the good list Codrian. If you ever see documentation of cranberries or american blueberries before 1600 my mom would be thrilled to see it, so send me the URL via PM. :D

Because for the medieval feasts my mom cooks she only uses foods she can document. And I like cranberries, so if they were documentable I would be happy cause I would get to eat them at the medieval feasts, but I can still eat them other times. *gets confused* Whatever.
(As a side note, is the cranberry you are talking about Vaccinium macrocarpon or Vaccinium oxycoccos, as in once again it might be bit unclear where has these different strains originated from. I've found one reference that remains of Vaccinium oxycoccos's (also known as Small Cranberry) seeds were found in diggings from ruins of a castle in Finland that was razed in 1520's. But of course, the plant might have migrated there after that.
Moreover, it might be that cranberries are from Americas. This would say that they are from US, but also notes an earliest description of cranberry in Europe to be from 1578. But the problem might be that it is possible that word "cranberry" was taken into use after Middle Age. Maybe this would help?)

looks good Kywyn. I like how long the swordhandle is and the 5 O'clock shadow. Every thing looks really good. Well I'm not going to get pulled into this extreamly random convorsation about cranberries. other then saying I don't really like them...dry my mouth out. Codrian sounds like it became your hobby also.
AGH passport...twaz hell getting mine for this trip. Scheherazade I helped with a work camp similar to the one you told me about. the name of it is concordia. I was at Noter Dame D'osiers...not spelt right but thats ok. its down in the south by Grenoble. I'm now just south of the Swiss boarder. Its a bit of a walk but I can go to the lake anytime I wish. tiz cool.
(edit)- Jace is left handed. so if you ever make another pic of him....take it into account. but don't draw a entire new picture because of this I think it is briallant. Love it.
Passports... if my memory serves right, getting mine 5 years ago was something like this: "Fill this form - thanks, do you have two photos? - thanks, sign here - thanks, your passport will be mailed to you in three weeks."
Hmm, guy could do some damage with Mr. Tellant's pasport.

You have found a 3 meter pole!
And I may be mistaken, but I think Star Wars d20 uses metric.
And your 5' x 5' square would be 2 metres to a side. It's not an exact conversion (since it would be closer to six and a half feet to a side), but it would do.
You certainly wouldn't want to go with squares 1.5 metres long. The game still rounds decimal places down, after all. :P
The US just needs a good smack in the head to get rid of the English system.
Although it is good to teach children how to convert between systems, they should not have to learn two different systems, one which is used in math, science, physics, etc. and the other which is used in everyday life, driving, shopping, gas.
I hate tempertures, my least favorite topic I chemistry.
All I know about Fahrenheit (I don't feel like checking my spelling now) is that I like it about 70 degrees and water freezes at a low number and boils at a high one.
Celcius (I.d.f.l.c.m.s.n.) is more precise and equally useless. Water freezes at 0, boils at 100, but if asked what temperature I am comfortable in I would just average them and get 50 degrees, which would be quite uncomfortable.
I apparently need sleep now before I fall asleep on the keyboard, but I most likely ignore my body for a bit more as I finish up reading Races of Stone.
Goodnight.
As for temperatures... I can't really see what logic there is to have water freeze at 32 degrees and boil at 212. Of course, both Fahrenheits and Celsius scales are fitted (at least somewhat) for normal life. In physics (and chemistry, I think) prefered scale is Kelvins, where water freezes at 273 K, boils at 373 K, and you can't really reach 0 K. (That's a bit simplified, of course.)
And to everyone else...hmph. Marroc's being a meany and not letting me use my magic. Next level: Ranger. Favoured enemy: halfling.
If you want to engage in that sort of thing, you'd be better off at the Last Lich, it's more upscale.

I'm getting ready to hug the giant palm trees! :D :D :D

I meant that the metric system was much easier to use. Imperical system is much harder to use, especially if you have to convert miles to feet.
And Pounds are the equivlent of Newtons.
Also Slugs (Not the slimy things that crawl on the ground) are the equivelent of grams (Like you will ever use that.)
I think your right about Kelvin, but they are very easy to switch to Celsius. I forget why the Farenheit system is the way it is, I have to try to remember more of what I've learned.

I know, I only did it to see how far I could push him. Just making a little conflict for flavour...
One version of the story: Fahrenheit is what it is because its inventor (D.G. Fahrenheit of Germany) took into use a temperature scale devised by one Dane. In this Dane's system, water boiled at about 60 degrees and 0 degrees represented a temp which was about never encountered in Denmark. So, Fahrenheit multiplied these numbers by 4 to get rid of fractional freezing point... ending up with 30 for freezing and 90 for body temperature. Next, Fahrenheit went ahead to multiply these numbers with 16/15 for some extremely unfathomable reason, and ended up with 32 for freezing point and 96 for body temperature. Celsius was bit more consistent with his scale... though it originally run with 0 as boiling point and 100 as freezing point.
So, go figure.
Pound is same as Newton? Okay... Imperial system doesn't differentiate between weight and mass? That's just weird, if that's correct. As far as I know, Newton is used to represent force and thus also weight.

Anyway, we spent all weekend irritating people by talking about directions for our characters, it was fun. He should be on sometime today, but I'll post in Nobody's and then do some more posting.

Along with the dental plan and tooth brush. Kai offers ballroom dancing lessons as his alter-ego during the off season. Flowers to be thrown about shouldn't be harvested from the garden of Thalos by the way. ;)
Room and board are included although the day spa requires a 24-hour notice if you care to use their services for a manicure or a facial. I tend to have them used up most of the time but there can be arrangements made.
All expenses in the rooms are included (except for the mini-bar.) and the pool can be heated to your preference.

When I saw Darkar's cookies, I wondered to myself: If Maelut went made, would he become the Cook of Cthulu?
When Donnavin reappeared... I realized I had another e-mail to answer. I'll get to that sometime tonight.
Another thing, however. I've been several weeks behind on updating the weather, going along with the calendar, and no one has commented on it. I owe Esmet an apology for that, as she drew up weather for the past few months and it never got posted.
I don't want to waste her effort, but I'm wondering if anyone objects to me taking a shortcut: namely, posting the weather for the dates listed on it and resuming the calendar to track with those days. I realize it's moved along, and I'm not asking to freeze wages (or progress on items you've been crafting or spells being prepared or the like), but it would make the task of getting it back on track easier.
The weather is useful, because it keeps the calendar moving. The calendar is useful, because it allows us to determine where each and every character stands on the timeline, so that we don't have Brand killing the troll that-- uh, I mean, exploring a tunnel today, meeting Lucian, who was there last month, and then coming out of the tunnel five minutes later to have a conversation with Natala, who won't be there for another two days.
So, any objections to putting the weather and calendar on track based on the past few weeks of unsubmitted updates?

I'll be around for most of the day if you need me. ;)
It was very funny the way you let us shave you bald and paint you blue before trading you to the giants for that hunk of hairy cheese.

ST, I'll go ahead and hit the drawing board, see hat I can come up with. Maybe get away and closer to the arch-type at the same time
We'll see.Now say good bye to Moncha and get back to town. I've got a dog for you to train. (And we all know how good you are at that. Ask Volos.)
Now lookee here you! Some of us need a long time to get our groove o.... I mean, to get... caught up...and stuff...
Donnavin! I'd just been wondering when you were going to show your face around here again.
On another note, I'm a junior!! I also had to cut my hair. I feel for you mon frer phfaebin. Its kind of nice though, you know, breezes and stuff make it to the back of my neck. I can't keep the girls off of me, especially after I steal their purse. And they're all wearing this kinky police officer uniform shouting stuff about "Hands behind your back!" I'm not really into that stuff but I'm willing to see where it goes, usually to a unique new friend named Bubba, or Billy-joe, or Allison... I don't really like this uniform thing.
Did Hermy get Major back? I'll be shifting through the threads to try and find out what happened, but you know how that goes when you've been out 3 months...
Well if we ever get the blue washed off then I might pop around more often than this. I'm assuming it was Hermy's idea.
Wow, another person that took Track before they became a Ranger.

Wolfman, Tromboinius (miss speling of the charcter from Julius Ceaser), Two Horns and an Emo Girl, I'm just brain storming right here, I may wind up doing that alot.
Whats happened to the boards, when I was trying for 2 hours to get here all I could get to was the Avalon Hill boards, and now through my email I can get here...
Does anyone know whats going on??? :confused
Alright! I confess! I got really hungry, and the power cord for the WotC server was just too appetizing...forgive me!
Hits Maelut with a mallet.It was you?! Bad Maelut! Bad, bad Maelut!!
Boirin you're the other local Rudie Boy, got any band names handy?

Room and board are included although the day spa requires a 24-hour notice if you care to use their services for a manicure or a facial. I tend to have them used up most of the time but there can be arrangements made.
All expenses in the rooms are included (except for the mini-bar.) and the pool can be heated to your preference.
:D

You guys really do have everything! I am officially impressed, that I am. It's sounding pricey, though...perhaps I shall inquire again once my coin pouch is more full...! (Unless you all have some sort of employment opportunities available?)

Say AVP today and than dropped 30 dollars on the second installment of teh Alien quadrilogy. Suffice to say I've seen far more face huggers than any man should in one day.
They sent me home with dinner! Salad, salmon, and mashed potatoes!I had salad and salmon for dinner, too! What the crap? Stop copying me, Sche! Argggggghhhhh! Stop it!
:P Kidding, of course, of course. Although it is most certainly true that I had the same dinner as you.
Still and all, I'll never be as skinny as you are... I can only hope my sweety doesn't mind. So the copying will stop there, at least. ;)

Then order 'em without the bubbles. It's not so much the bubbles I like (which I do like), but the tea itself. Usually, it's even cheaper to buy the drink without the bubbles, and you still get all the flavor without the textures that make you (and a few of my friends) gag.

Two more whole days in Portland, then it's YAY! KAH-LEE-FOR-NAI-AY! And tomorrow I'll get my hair cut short, and Sunday I will see the Special Dude again...
Anyway, now it's bedtime. Goodnight, or good morning, or whatever.
Got a start today on catching up on sumsies, though I must say that from Thursday through presumably Sunday I will be too busy moving to do summary work. So, I'm sorry in advance for being super-behind. Also, ST, are you going to put up the weather I did in the past as well as the weather I just sent you? :P I'm feeling a little useless here, help me out! ;)
Weather and dates are updated, folks. Please make use of them.

Goodness, but that's a lot of weather all at one time! Cool, that takes us into the middle of September, so I hope you won't mind if I skip weather write-ups today in favor of finishing up clothes-and-supplies shopping in preparation for Thursday!On the upside, I did do some more sumsies.
Tomorrow's sumsie work should take us to 8/13, but then, again I'll be gone from Thursday through Sunday, so I'll be more behind. Well, it'll get caught up someday!She decided that this year we won't get our schedules for the year by mail instead they will be given out in our homerooms. Sounds good right? Wrong, our schedules contained which homeroom we were in, so on the first day of school every student gets to go homeroom hunting so that they can find there schedule......
I can already tell how much fun this year is going to be....

I'm having a really hard time getting time to post, but I think I'll start spending some time on the Notebook again soon (right now, I'm working on a novel proposal for the Open Call for a new Eberron novel, but I'll have to send that in by this time next week if I want to be sure to make the deadline - after that, I should have more time).
Great job, btw. 
Ran's player however is off for now, as I have a lot to do still and a long day of work ahead of me tomorrow. Good night, folks.
And that school only had a maximum capacity of a 1000 students. I can understand how hard it is for a larger school.
Of course when I think of the school mailing the schedules to the students I imagine about 1/3 of the school visiting the office because they didn't bring their schedule and didn't remember where their homeroom was.
This also reason for my yesterday's absence was.

Sounds a lot like Dustin's cat, Aurora. Gray tabbies really are good cats.
(Neither of my cats are grey tabbies... but the calico one is also tabby! So there. :P )
The Humane Society opens in fifteen minutes, so we'll be heading back out then. (Gives me a chance to prep the litterbox...)

Although there's I think two medium sized dogs and a couple cats being housed in my bulding.
So unfair.

well you do have to watch after them at all times they are loose..... and the bitting can be scolded and trained out.....but they need reminding often....i always bit them back.....but unfortionalt they need to feel a little pain so they stop.....but after you set them dozn again they look like a scolded child for two secondsm then they go and play again.....but normaly they don't bit hard after this treatment.
Digit-chewing
only if you give them the ferret to play withm or if you ignore them in which case they go for your toes....it is smart to only play with ferrets with shoes on.

they just have no fear....or the thought that gravity doesn't apply to them
ought to be used as shark bait, the lot of 'em...

Absolutely. They can learn to recognize their name as well.
And they're not all plague ridden Miri.
That happened to my former roommate, foolish ferret owner, at least twice. Masculinity is not always a good trait in pet owners.

*bzzzt* *bzzzt* [Spambot Program Execute: Pounce] *bzzzt*
I also realized that I made a bit of an error in describing the trade-in level benefits. Experience to reach the next level does not increase -- the distance between levels 10 and 11 remains the same (it's just that you restarted the journey).
Yes, this does mean that you could reach 10th level with two specials earlier than you could reach 12th level, but there are a few other factors to consider here.
The "specials" can not be lost to energy drain as levels can, nor are they removed as the cost of being raised from the dead. Then again, if your 10th level character with six specials acquires ten negative levels, that character is dead.
There were a few other points, but most of them were discussed when the idea was introduced. The loss of hit points and/or casting levels are two of the big ones.
Hmm. That reminds me of a few other corrections and additions I need to do to the Rules and Information thread (must add Loremaster to the approved PrC list, as well as one new feat, and I think there's something else I need to do as well). There's at least one other large project on my plate, but for now, I need some fresh air.
Before I go, however, I'd like to thank Brodda for the scene in the temple. The pony was a nice touch. The family business and how it tied to their names was evil, but I'lll applaud that too. :P
Okay, now I'm off.
Thank you for clarifying that.

Also, I really liked the acolytes reaction to the pony.
Eh, better than reall work I guess

Hello everyone. I think Wizards hates me, because I can not use my account properly now when I try to log on for the first time in months.
Gaaahhh!!! Ok, it seems to be working now, I hate public computers! I lost my e-mail account too, stupid Hotmail with the 45 day must-log-in thing. :sad:
I hope to be able to be true when I say I'm back! The past few months have been very difficult. I was attached to the RM 1st Mechanised Brigade, in lieu of a girl who got pregnant, and thusly I got forward deployed to paradise on earth, *insert drumroll* Basra, Iraq. Can you feel my enthusiasm? Then to top things off, besides dealing with dead Marines, American G.I.s, paperwork, the heat and the occassional drills/riots, I fell while posing for a picture on a T-72, and broke 3 ribs and my left hip.
So, I didn't rotate out with the 1st, but stayed on with the 4th Armoured Brigade until a few weeks ago. So, I am in the process of getting medically checked out in the U.S.A. to maybe return to my job.
As for the rain, everyone knows I love rain, and I'm thrilled to have it raining. In fact I'm just grateful it didn't start until after I'd left the pow-wow and reached the interstate. The pow-wow was great, and I've now seen jingle dancing, shawl dancing, and some others the names of which I didn't catch. I'll have to study the flyer when I get back to my own desk...
I'd hate to have not been able to get back here. I'm trying to fix my e-mail problem now.
*whispers*
I think I hate Tony Blair now...
Sorry I didn't get the edit in quicker, I was hoping to get it before anyone noticed...:P
Pow-wow? Is that the American Indian gathering with the peace-pipe?
Whoa its Angy I'm sorry to say that without your guidance Maelut has fallen even further along the path of violence and killing things.
Soon my time will come when Maelut becomes a black guard and you a lich, when I can finally stab someone and Drav can be irritated because your delivering smite evil attempts by throwing acorns.

Needless to say, I am even more behind my pacifist beliefs now! Just wait, the power of love tames all.:P
Did I just say that out loud??Am I reading it wrong, or are you implying I will try to smite myself with acorns? Being a lich is evil isn't it? Or are you thinking smite good? Who is Drav?
You see your aura of love is so strong I can't even type correctly. I meant smite good.Drav is the new bobby in town.
Angelique... you must stop breaking your bones!I don't know enough about Native American culture, but in this case the pow-wow is an annual event at the Grand Ronde reservation here in Oregon. I have a friend in the tribe who was going to show me around, but we failed to hook up :sad:
They were having contests (dance, drumming, singing) and holding their Tribal Council elections.
but I have been....shall we say in the area for quite some time now. I will be going back to the states on the morrow. I will be flying into Oakland Airport at 10:37.....which is 24 hours after I get up in france to leave. tehn teh hour or so waiting for baggage. then anotehr hour and half to get home. Then school. I will probebel have to get up at 6 am to get every thing together.....when it comes to tuesday....I will look something like this

Acctualy that's partly my fault. Maelut made a joke about joining forces with Tensek and crew. I began work on a screenplay that involved Maelut going over to the dark side and what would happen when his pacifist girlfriend came back.
Someone either Maelut or Tensek said you would be ok with it becuase you turned into a litch. And now you know the story behind Boirin's lateist insane outbirst.

:Goes off to write What to Do When Your Pacifist Acquires Razor Sharp Claws and Other Dilemmas That Can Come About from Reading too Many Comic Books in Your Lifetime:
But welcome back. I realize that the pace of your return is likely to be erratic, but that's not a problem. I suspect that Maelut, who we briefly lost at about the same time you disappeared, will be very glad for your return as well -- once he gets back from what he's doing now, that is.
You may be a bit more annoyed about the fact that nothing you post on the board for the next week starting Tuesday (?) will stay posted. We could back things up, but I suspect that the workload would be impractical for most of us, so I'm in favour of having a lockdown.
If players wish to put scenes together through e-mail or the like to post when the boards will hold onto our posts again, I encourage them to do so. Otherwise, feel free to take a break from the game (to get back into the swing of school for some of you), play around in the fight thread (just remember that the fight will disappear unless we save it elsewhere), or hang around here in Noise.
Oh, and liches can be good, at least in FR. But I would recommend becoming Deathless as they are powered with Positive Energy instead of Negative. ;)
T-72... darn, Finnish army is still using them.
double post.How is Jace going to tell how many points of damage the orc took? Guys, I just want to apologize for how long it's taking me to put together a post. We're juuust busy enough at work that I keep losing my train of thought.
Plus trying to guess "What Would Maelut Do?"
Where is Maulet? School? or has he just not shown his face? personaly I think he should get rid of that gnoll....She is causeing havoc, wit dem arrers. Poor Borin looks a tad like a hedgehog, another arrow and he will probebly be down.
about work...well in my opinion work is work...its first on the list. cuz without work then our DM will not be able to pay the bills....so she will loose the internet, then we would be wihtout our DM. So I have nothing against you being a little slow....it is better then haveing you gone.

Hah! Your empty threats mean nothing to me! OW, OW, stop that. No! NO! Not the pointy thing!!
Is it pointy like a finger? Or pointy like a pencil? If it's a pencil I am in trouble, because, "the pen is mightier than the sword." ;)
And I am waiting for an elf to show to teach me a lesson on something... :P

I just have an assumtion that a dwarf who hates goblins and the like would not have a 'pretty' meeting with someone like Ange over there......
Oh well, it will be interesting if we ever do meet that much is to say, now I'm off to post in the SSAG. (Whats new huh :P )

Well, I don't actually have that kobold, so I have no reason to scold you IC, unless you walk around with a big neon "I HATE GOBLINS AND THEIR ILK" sign on your shield or breatplate or what not. :P

I guess I'm overdue for the lockdown. I'll be back to tend to it a bit later, but not just yet. My mother woke me to let me know she's in town for a few days. Unfortunately, I have to put in extra time at work this week, but I can tweak my sleep schedule. It just means even less time here for a few more days, though.
Just a few weeks of overtime to go...

Actually, ST, the boards go down for a week for maintenance starting tomorrow. It's up to you, but a lockdown seems a bit pointless given that. It also means your even busier schedule won't get to interfere with your time here - that will be limited anyway.
Don't tweak the sleep schedule too much (unless you're tweaking in extra sleep). And say hi to your mom for me.

For some reason I keep going back to look at that picture and start chanting, "La la la, yip yip yip, la la la, yip yip yip."
But I haven't tried to hurt anybody with my weapon.

Hi, we're closed to new applicants until December. It says so in the intro thread, I believe. Since you're not the only potential applicant lurking about, I'll just mention we won't even be reviewing applications at this time. Sorry!
You think Cthullu plushies are cute you should see the Cthullu puppet we have at work!
And since tomorrow is the 24th and teh fixery things start than any news on what's happening or are the boards being shut down instead?

I'm starting to feel hurt that Maelut hasn't said hi.
;)Hello!! Maelut, long time no see/type. Nice to see you.
But I'm fairly sure that he would have said "hi" if he knew you were here.
Although he might be dissapointed when he finds the you are not undead. :D

The Pallys hands are tied becuase they don't really do anything, and Maelut is an upstanding member of the comunity. You probably **** off Drav, and Boirnin stabs something.
That's the screenplay in a nut shell, someone will probably get a girl too, or perhaps not.
Yeah, that'll be a nice surprise when Angelique comes back.
Maelut: "Hi honey, I gained some blackguard levels while you were gone."
Angelique: "Oh that's alright dear, I'm a lich!"
See you tomarrow.
Oh and Angy, does this mean you and Maelut are officially love story #3, if it is I hope Boirin is invited to the wedding.
Mine has less litches then his however, and Maelut gets involved in the Mob.
I had a lot of help brainstorming, and Natala made a list for me so I think I've mostly figured the first card and template out:
Looking at the image now, I'm glad I toned down the brightness of Hermy's pants. :o

Oooooh! Tarot cards! Mmmm. Although, why is Hermy the Fool? And who will I be?;)
*huggles Kywyn*
Oh, and Drav, if they just brought back the comeliness score all the confusion you refence in your sig could be aleviated.
Bravery is one reason for him, I think.
Have to guess for who's who : P Actually, since only working with 22 cards and many PCs, unfortunately, not everyone can be covered. But there'll be more pictures to come after.

Ah, now Amber is seeping into the boards too.
Awesome. I'll be waiting on the edge of my seat for them.
I can't get messenger to work right now Maelut, but you do have my new e-mail, and you *could* PM me.;)

There there, it's just a road. Why don't you go smite it?
I can't wait to see the pictures for the other cards.
G'night, folks.
I guess this will just take a little getting usto that's all. I guess to make the posts readable through all the clutter they are gonna hafto be longer.
Very very very odd if I must say so myself, will have to take some time to get used to, I just hope that they are faster then the old one.....
I'll be around to post our Conversation Tyros, unless you already have....
This will definitely take some getting used to...
*edit: whoa... the posts are way too big... you can say one word and it takes up half a screen...
*edit AAHH!! whoot i found a way to change the boards view to something more palatable. Go to Quick links > Edit Options. There is a category called Postbit something - toggle it to classic and it looks noticably better. ^^
Just wondering Shaz, how soon will the E-mails be compiled into posts?
It's perfectly ok if it takes a couple of days, I think we understand with all the chaos the new boards are doomed to caused now.
I am missing already the users browsing the forum..... unless it is some option you can turn on that I do not realize where it is..... :P
Now it is on the bottom.
And think we could convince the Forum Heads to repplace the G'sC Icon with something made by a member here instead of that picture of Mercadia.
Doesn't seem to be a noticeable increase in speed either.
Maybe I'm just tired though...
Looks fine for me... though at the top of the page the banner overlaps the bar with some links partially... probably because I don't use IE.

In other news... Ishie is rolling over now. Back to belly, mostly, though he did manage to roll from his belly to his back once today. Don't know if he'll keep the latter one up or if it's a one-time thing he hasn't fully mastered yet, but he's definitely rolling over. (Has yet to figure out that he can't roll over while I'm holding him, though, or while on the changing table.)
I've gotta feeling I'm gonna enjoy this...

Go to the section marked, "My Account". Once there, go to the section marked "Edit e-mail and password." You have to first enter your password to edit the e-mail.
And we don't have Uncon. You just have an option for participating in the event. Please, if you've ever enjoyed any of Kywyn's work in the past and have any artistic inclinations (written, sketched, animated, composed, performed, I'm running out of adjectives...), he would very much like to see what you've got.
He's a sharing kind of guy that way. It's also the sort of thing that makes him good at what he does -- and can make him better. I know he likes to see what other people produce (and not just visually), so please consider this a chance to repay him for your character portraits and all of the other pieces he's done over the years.
And before you ask, I already paid him back in sushi. I'm sure I owe him at least another two dinners though, especially when you factor in the gas money. :P
The quote isn't originally Klingon, and it's usage changes the context of the original statement, which was made by a man who was not talking in terms of the glory of battle or the choice of kill-or-be-killed. He was a man who knew that his execution was unavoidable, and that this was going to be the last day on which he could celebrate living.
The Star Trek use is a celebration of death. The original sentence cherished life with a certain fatalism.
Two weeks ago, I put $1.25 into the vending machine at work and selected the peanuts rack. Instead of dispensing the peanuts, the track recoiled, drawing them further back and out of my reach.
Today, I finally got my refund, and the machine got serviced. For some reason, the vendor replaced the peanuts with Big Turk bars. Okay, they're not great, but I used to enjoy them a lot when I was ten, so I thought I'd have another one.

On the bright side, I did get to pick up the latest issue of "Girl Genius". Bangledesh Dupree still scares me, but I'm beginning to suspect that Lucrezia Mongfish was a far, far scarier person. I love the storytelling and dialogue, however, and I'm not just saying that because Phil Foglio signed a dictionary (and one other book, currently in the possession of people I hope are still enjoying it while they're able to hold onto it :P) for me.
Anyway, enough advertising. I'm going to try to correct the weather post in Rules and Information to account for "the lost week" before I go home today, barring any interuption at work.
Just in case.

Well, I'm off to Service First. It's the day that all of the university's students get together and organize ourselves to do maintenance and improvements on some local public schools. I've got some people together (we're going to one of the huge city schools) to repair the library shelves and build a small stage for the students in the gym that they can set up/remove themselves. Also, we have the incredibly awesome support of two big local steakhouses (who wish to remain anonymous), and they're paying for new books for the library, all the building supplies, and are providing lunch for everyone working on the project! Plus one of them said that they would be interested in letting me intern as a kitchen assistant over the summer!!! It's a good day today!

It's been ages since we last saw you.
(This be Raen, just under new guise as the old one became more or less ash.)
Anyway, I'm back, though if Fern is still alive is of course another matter entirely. *sends prayers and candies to DMs* Ah well, serves me right for vanishing. How y'all doing?
We're still here, that's one achievement. Though, I haven't seen a striker in a long time, so maybe your campaign worked. Was that a cunning trick to vanish and take the baddies with you. ;)
Oh, there is already one half-orc bard. :P
Actually my thoughts were more along the lines of "would fern have survived if I had actually been playing for the last nine months" ;) (or whatever it has been)
Well that and wondering whether she's still a viable character after all this time. Anyway, I'll be sending you and ST an email about that today or tommorow, Scheherazade. (er, screwy sentance structure... to tired to deal with)

:88E:Long day. Got to see my nephew, but not for as long as I would like. Still, the airport and back and playing with him while they gathered luggage did take awhile.
Going to sleep now. Good to see you, Fern. I must have gotten the e-mail wrong the last time I tried to contact you. I'll review it tonight. I'll eventually set up lockdown, but probably late -- the city looks like it's been pretty busy recently.
It turns out that I have TWO more days of work to go. Gah. Just... two more... must... sleep... now...

Okay, it wasn't one of Peter Sellers' best movies (and if you've never heard of Mr. Sellers, it's time to fix that -- find a recording of the Goon show, or check out the original Pink Panther movie (or A Shot in the Dark) or Being There or Doctor Strangelove, though I wish I could remember the name of the film in which he plays an idealistic minister -- well, I can look that up later).

On the other hand, I love her more than I can possibly say, and the thought of walking around campus together, going downtown together, playing D&D/HALO/Risk/chess together, and sitting together at the top of Brookings hall steps (the most incredibly romantic place on campus, a long granite staircase going down from a castle complete with battlements, leading to a forested park and strategically placed with the moon directly over the leaves) makes me grin from ear to ear. There is the faintest possibility that I may neglect my posting for a day or two. Tell Grack to cook dinner :D
Today is a happy day. Goodnight, everyone.
That's great news, Maelut... except... won't that cut into your game time? I mean, we let you go to university and all, but try to keep your priorities straight...

And now, in the name of my craft, I'm back to having hair the length of my PC's:

We can finish the Fight Club sparring session tomorrow, Kywyn, unless you won't be able to be around. I should be here about the same time as today.
G'night, folks.
Oh, and I might edit my last adventure post slightly depending on if something interesting happens - even if not, I might want to get it better in line with Hermy's. We'll see.
EDIT: scratch that last part, already taken care of. Thanks!
There's soccer registration today the halls are fulled to teh brim with annoying little kids.
Finally, a full day's sleep.
Finally, my cold is... oh, wait...
And will Donnavin be rejoining us any time soon? :sad:
Oh, where was I? Yes, recovering. Recovering. Yes. Yes, I am.
Good luck with the recovery thing, bloody colds. Had one for about two weeks when I got back from Coventry
Got a current description together and some thoughts concerning Fern's current activities, as well as a few minor corrections to her character sheet.
As follows:
AC 17 due to +2 def from being lvl 6
Ranged attack mod of +7 (4 base 3 dex)
Skills 82 points total instead of 74 (10x4)+10+(8x4), the points spent are correct tho.
Other Equipment: psaltery, harp, thieves' tools, traveler's outfit, spellcasting permit [Levels 0, 1, and 2]. I think it's safe to assume that she got rid of the extraneous stuff and is also quite broke, say a dozen copper for funds.
Think thats everything.
Hey everyone! *waves* :D
Time to put the pizza away, now that the belly is full. Time for tea and ginger ale and grapefruit juice.
Not all in the same glass, obviously. The tea gets its own mug.
eh, knew I forgot something...
Hey everyone! *waves* :D
It's...a Fern?
makes Knowledge check
Well...ferns are green and leafy. Like lettuce. I put lettuce in salads, and salads are kind of like slaads. So Fern is food for green slaads?
Heya Fern, come on by Nobody's Inn...unless you either don't like that part of town or that part of town doesn't like you.

Hmm... salad, probabally should make one before lettuce wilts.
And I hope not. *checks for scheming DMs*I'm sure I'll make my way there sometime, but for the moment I have other things I must deal with.
Also found a few other adjustments that were missed earlier. Since she's not actually an elf right now, she doesn't get the bonuses to Listen, Search, or Spot checks. I missed the +1 bonus to Jump checks, and the synergy adjustment to Tumble checks.
That should cover it. Got a few more to tend to eventually. Now if I can just keep Maelut from having something new every other day... :P
, I know I used the Aid in the graveyard, and I can't remember offhand what happened to the Cure, but I have a nagging feeling that I gave it to someone.Oh and I don't get a synergy to jump quite yet (not enough ranks in tumble). Not that I'm complaining or anything. ;)
...

Hey! What's that supposed to mean? Just because I want to start a restauraunt while becoming a member of the Avowed, taking a level of ranger, and gaining Transcendent One as a PrC? That's totally obvious!
Doctor, Tinker, Tenor, Spy, Maelut's an Intercity Man of Mystery ;)
gnight all
(There actually is a PrC in one WotC's supplement book that has requirement for advancing in it that one has died and been resurrected.)

I ran out of emergency chocolate in my desk drawer! What am I going to do?!You're absolutely right, Coddy. I plan to die, be raised, and then become a blood magus. After that, I'll gain template levels as a deathless elf from Eberron. After that, I might just be traditional and take some levels of blackguard.
Ah, good. The cook has volunteered for barghest feeding. Excellent...
And I vote that we sell Maelut's soul to Darkar. That should do it. :P
Actually, weren't Deathless originally from BoED?
And I vote that we sell Maelut's soul to Darkar. That should do it. :P
Well I would have to check him out to determine the exact value of his soul. Plus with two never ending cookies already from Nata the wonder cookie lady. I am not sure I could be presuaded this time to give up the soul if I purchase it.
Ah, good. The cook has volunteered for barghest feeding. Excellent...

*AIEEE!!! SPOOOOOON!!*
My stabby sense is tingling, soon I shall get to stab someone since Maelut and Angy are doing the luvy-dovey thing.
Stab yourself.:P With a nerf sword. :D
Of course, there's the commute, and getting my daughter bathed & to bed... (When you're her age, a bath isn't a bath unless there are bubbles and you get to swim like a mermaid until the water gets cold. ;) )
And supervising my son's homework...
Hopefully, this will prove convenient for you, if you're trying to get ahold of another player, and don't have a handy post by them to check.
I know it promises to be convenient for me.

My poor, poor hp count... I'm really tired for some reason today, and I cannot figure out why.... Must be one of those days.... ;)
I don't expect we'll see Hermy again tonight, at least not soon, and since my honey is in the wrong time zone,
I may as well sleep. :P Baby's sleeping. Magellan's programming. I feel like sleeping now, myself, but I've squeezed in a much-needed nap today (made possible only by cuddling Ishie up next to me and coaxing him back to sleep) so if I don't wait a while, I'll be up at four in the morning.
Eh, who am I kidding? I'll be up at four in the morning anyway, judging by Ishie's bedtime tonight. Still, I'll try to get in a post (and an email) before I'm off for the night.
Kywyn, if you don't post a response to all that, I'll edit more into my last post. If you do, I'll start a new one; it doesn't matter to me.
I wonder if love makes undead go *pop*?
Only if theres a direct correlation between love and high charisma...
*runs the couple in this town through his head, Gamis Miri 16/12+, Kywyn Nashae 16/18, Maelut Angy 13/18*
Maybe it works in Garic's

Hey, don't blame him. I'm sure that from his POV, you're in the wrong timezone. ;) Life stinks that way. Or at least time zones do.
I'm going to fix some pizza for dinner and figure out if Ran can use Aid Another to help Kywyn get out of the crabby monster's claws. Back soon.

Yay
I'm not sure if that works for grapple checks though (unless aiding an escape artist check)?I just wanted to hop in an say that and let you all know that I am, in fact, still around. I'm back in school (Telecommunications BS, here I come!), so I'm even more busy then I was before. I'm still slogging through an email adventure but I apologize for nto being around on the board. I'll do my best as time permits and we'll see what happens.
On, and on the side note, they changed the boards again!
Anyway, I'm off for now. Take care!

Oh, I don't know... It spares him the expense of dating & flowers & such... :P
As for Aid Another, why wouldn't it work? Grappling is a type of attack, and "A grapple check is like a melee attack roll."
That it is, but rules say differently.
Thank you, Coddy, for that completely (un)helpful comment.

So he gets to be in a relationship with you *and* do that on the cheap. Twice lucky. :D
Grapple checks aren't *exactly* attack rolls, but lacking another mechanic to help someone get out of a grapple I don't see why not either. Forcing an Escape Artist check from the grapplee isn't really fair, since that pc might suffer from a distinct lack of ranks and using EA for a grapple check is a standard action (meaning, only one per round instead of one per attack). I'll go with it.
The rules don't say you can, but they don't say you can't either - the problem is simply that there's no specific mechanic suggested to help someone get out of a grapple. Aid Another comes quite close though, so it's an obvious candidate. I think it should provoke an AoO normally (for any instance where you try to aid someone to do something that provokes an AoO, like a disarm or sunder attempt), but Ran has Impr. Grapple.
I disagree because of grappling consequences, but I am not sure how it works with creatures though.
Grappling consequences(from PHB)
While you're grappling, your ability to attack others and defend yourself is limited.
No threatened squares: You don't threaten any squares while grappling.
No dexterity bonus:You lose your dexterity bonus to AC(if you have one) against opponents you aren't grappling. (You can still use it against opponents you are grappling.)
No Movement:You can't move normally while grappling. You may, however, make an opposed grapple check (see below) to move while grappling.
I am not entirely sure how this works for monsters, but if it is the same I would not think helping Kywyn would provoke an Attack of Opprotunity since you said the creature is grappling him.
"If a creature with this special attack hits with a melee weapon (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. No initial touch attack is required. Unless otherwise noted, improved grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the improved grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on grapple checks, but is not considered grappled itself; the creature does not lose its Dexterity bonus to AC, still threatens an area, and can use its remaining attacks against other opponents. A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature’s descriptive text). When a creature gets a hold after an improved grab attack, it pulls the opponent into its space. This act does not provoke attacks of opportunity. It can even move (possibly carrying away the opponent), provided it can drag the opponent’s weight."
G'night, folks.
We're going to San Fran tommarow. Until then we were suposto be painting, however due to shortages of tape, and well paint we're not. :D

Going to JTAF?
I'd say it's reasonable to allow the aid another action here, though one would need to determine how many could reasonably aid a grappled creature, and that is almost certainly going to be situational.
Going to JTAF?
Yes sir, you wouldn't be too would you?

Ah, if only. I even pored over my map of the Bay looking for the location. Lack of income makes such prospects difficult, however.
Mayhaps you'll give my regards to Aeirie, Michael Poe, and Randy Milholland, though. Would've enjoyed the opportunity to see some of my favorite webcomics' creators.
I also find Ran's reaction to Hex very amusing, for the record.

Hi all. I'm back. Posting will be rough for a bit. Working 70 hours this week and who knows after that.
Not to get personal or anything, and I post apologies in advance because of this, but...
I hope you aren't salaried! That's practically slave labour!
Does anyone know of any online resources aswell as the SRD I can use to create characters? I have no books and lots of free time. So it's a case of 1+1=2, spare time + want to game = must create characters. And I will talk with Maelut (for background) and hopefully ST (for approval) tomorrow about getting back into the game this week.
I know that can be taxing in some circumstances, but I'm hoping it's not too much.
On the upside, guess who's getting a laptop when payday comes?

Exact character creation rules are not part of SRD and thus are not included in there. But for SRD, here's two quite good html based ones: One and Two. One at least adequately working small program is Redblade. You have to download it, but it's very small program. And here's at least some sort of online character generation utility.
(laughs at his stupid joke)
last time there was none I leveled up the next time.... perhaps there is cause for hope. :D
And, yeah, I'm back. Spent the weekend with my girlfriend here...um...We played chess while sipping on fresh-pressed apple juice. Yeah, that's it.
I like grey squirrels. They throw things at us when we walk around campus.
[:tinkers with sig: work!
Shae, in case you haven't already figured it out, there's a new setting in our control panels that sets how many times a poster's sig gets displayed (under here a little ways down: http://boards1.wizards.com/profile.php?do=editoptions). Default seems to be that it's only displayed once. Hope that alleviates some frustration.
And I'm sure you enjoyed yourselves, Maelut. ;)
I'm off to bed. G'night folks.

Hey! Why am I singled out?! :P
No, wait... that would be me. I took my first A.P. Chem test today.....
I was really awake for some reason today before the test, I felt confident that I was going to do good, then the test came..... My first reaction was then as I looked over the test I calmed down and ended up finishing it within the two period time limit that I had. Then after I handed in the test I felt all my energy just die away, I instantly became tired..... Uggg.... that test ruined the rest of my day...... I'll be around ;)
I'm off to bed folks, I need a bit more sleep than last week if I'm to stay awake at work. See y'all tomorrow.
My daycare provider has been caring for her mother through her last days, and ... today turned out to be the last day.
I'll be around for a while.

Someone shoot me. Please.
My son wanted a dog. My son begged for a dog. My son wanted to spend all his birthday money on a dog and supplies.
I am a cat person. I didn't really want a dog, but if it was small enough, I would be ok.
I waited over a month, trying to talk him into a cat. No, had to be a dog.
We got a dog. Small dog. No bigger than a large cat. My son is scared of him and now wants a cat instead.
Sorry to hear about that.
I personaly have never owned a dog smaller then 60 lbs. (not counting the one that grew into a St. Bernard). Small dogs usualy tend to be more active and not so good with kids. Large ones are usualy lazy, mellower, and better for kids. Just watch out for the tail.
What did the dog do that scares your son, perhaps that could be worked through?
Nothing. He came up to my son. I think he's afraid the dog will jump on him because another one has.
Sure it's a dog. At least it won't knock me over when it jumps on me. :P
This is what happens when the rogue gets the surprise round.We don't want you son to do to the dog like what we've trained Boirin to do to spiders. :D
SPLAT!
My guess it's becuase their anatomy is so alien to our own. Their way of life, of lieing traps and sucking blood probably creeps some people out.
Well, I see most spiders more or less useful as they do eat flies and mosquitoes and other bugs.
Same here, I'm a fan of the little guys. That and spider silk farms make lots of money. The stuff's stronger than Kevlar.
Hmm, no Kevlar vests in D&D, perhaps Spider silk Vests? Improved versoin of padded, perhaps with the bonus provided by Leather?
I like it.
I can't stand the ones that look vaugely dangerous. Like the black widow I stomped on in a scout meating, the wolf spiders I find in my bath tub, the nesting black widow in my fuse box (I swear it had the abdomen that size of a quater), the huge nesting spider with claws (that so freaked me out) I found at the mine camp over the bathroom door, or the brow recluse that was crawling on my ceiling which I killed with the bottom of a candle.
Daddy long legs are about the only ones I can cope with.
I don't know why I dislike them, they just creep me out, alot, and it makes me have the urge to kill them, quickly and immediately.
*Shudders* I don't like spiders. This talk is making me jumpy and my skin is crawling. Can we stop talking about spiders.
I probably won't be on much this weekend since my dad and I moved I have to get a wireless ethernet card installed so I can have internet accsess. I'm not accually my computer right now, its my dad's, but he should be back from Fries this afternoon with my receiver.
Back to the unpack.
I'd like to join this honorable game, but I have some questions for you, so fear my buggination skillz! :D
#1. If I want to be a neutral good cleric, can I worship Ordemet the solitary? (because I like her domains ;) )
More to come. :P
As a neutral good cleric in this game, you can follow Ordemetrex the Eternal or any aspect of Agathalos. Ordemetrex the Solitary is the Chaotic Neutral aspect, and the alignment is too different; you could play a chaotic good, true neutral, chaotic neutral, or chaotic evil cleric and follow Ordemet the Solitary.
But I have few questions;
1) Are psionic handbook allowed? I mean that it is now part the 3,5 core rules now (at least CoCo had accepted such as a test thing now and now it is normal thing). So, if these rules are not allowed, will be they ever allowed somepoint?
2) Can there be renegade wizards? Wich are not part of the guild?
3) I am little confused about the after 10lvl progress thing. So, instead of lvl over 10lvl, you can add some special things rigth? Does it eat maximum lvls at all? Also if you make into 11lvl, can you still take special thingies then?
Well, to answer your questions:
1. Psionics are not allowed, at least not by what the information thread says.
2. I'm not sure about this, as you need a special license to cast spels within the city and that license is only obtainable at the Hightower, which is the wizard's guild.
3. The lvl 10 alternate route is actually quite simple: once you are about to hit lvl 10 or higher, you get to choose 2 of those special abilities and then one special feature. Everything is explained in the information thread. You can choose to forsake a level after you've gained your tenth level, so, yeah...
AND WELCOME PACONE!!! :D YAY!!!!! :bounce::bounce::bounce:
I've been meaning to ask you ST, why aren't new characters being accepted?
Hope that clears up any doubt you might have, so Me casa es su casa! AYA!
I've been meaning to ask you ST, why aren't new characters being accepted?
I'll try to take this one for him, since, judging from the brevity of his recent posts, ST seems to be under the weather still:
It's just too much to handle. We're a pretty good group, but our sheer volume makes us difficult to plan for, to manage, etc. It's nothing personal, but a flood of new characters would be be to the detriment of all.
However, as Nat said, your presence here in Noise is welcome.
Sorry. I'm still using Wealdy's recipes.
Anyway, hello to the new people. And multi-mega congratulations to Natala for her triumphant slaying on the mighty UnCon challenge. You are a worthy opponent, and I bow to you with honor.
.o0(That meanie Natala...I'll get back at her with the Christmas competition. She'll never be ready for my secret weapon, an entry which will defeat everyone! Muahahahaha. Muahahahaha. I'm laughing evilly in my head. That can't reflect well on my sanity. I need a cookie.)
Magic Chef (ten most unpopular classes)
;)It's a pity I cannot join at this moment. I read there was a lack of clerics and since I'm a cleric freak (just ask Tyros :P) I thought I could make a nice addition to the game
anyway, I'll develop my character, and get a from the DMs, then I'll patiently wait until I can join.In this city?
We're talking about the same Garic's City right, where you get a free level of cleric with every supper sized meal?
Druids, no that's what were short on!
Please take a moment to consider if the race and class combination of the character you're submitting to the game is already present in abundance. For example, we're pretty full-up on elven rangers or rogues right now. We are very short-handed on characters whose primary class is cleric, however
:D
- Zanderat: faithful priest of Ordemetrex, and maker of fine ale
- Natala: card-reader, shopkeeper, herbalist, and oathbound
- Conrad Drake: Demmionite, slain by orcs
- Eiathos: cleric of Agathalos, went wandering the streets on an assignment one day, and has never been seen since
- Adathar: cleric of Agathalos, went looking for a snack in the temple, and might have found Eiathos -- who knows?
- Neb Rybel: cleric of Agathalos, last seen being dragged away by Gottrisdottir. Chances are that she's been sent to find either Eiathos or Adathar.
- Julia of Hillsdown: I wonder what Eiathos is doing with all of these clerics?
That's the single level list. On the other side, we've had:
- Jager Untot: cleric/ranger of Thalos, slain by Conrad
- Codrian Enlevin: cleric/sorcerer of Thalos
- Mirielle Dyer: wizard with a cleric level (Thalos)
- Brand Ravenkin: fighter with a cleric level (Thalos)
- Thosar Luque: fighter with a cleric level (Ordemet)
Natala's closest rival in clerical power was Conrad, who reached 5th level before perishing. After that, it's Codrian. Eiathos got to 2nd level, and I don't recall if Jager had more than one cleric level when he died.
Then there were the druids: Anaya (6th level, with a sorcerer level), Jaer (4th level), Trebellar (4th level), and Lowlife Halforc (4th level). Sense a pattern?
On average, people in this game have taken more levels of fighter than cleric. :P
On average, people in this game have taken more levels of fighter than cleric. :P
On average, people in this game have taken more fighter levels than anything else - it's the only class with more than 15% of all levels taken in GsC. Rogue is second, just under 15% (that's right: between the two of them they cover 30% of all levels in GsC).
For example, Natala isn't proficient with the scythe (martial weapon) she's been seen with from time-to-time, but she carries it anyway.
News to me, cuz. ;)

Update on the dog. My son is ok with him now. Apparently it was just the adjustment to being around each other, especially since my son has spent only short periods with animals.
If anyone cares... the vet says the dog is Lhasa mix. Though with what, who knows, he looks so much like a Lhasa, there's no telling if there is anything else. That and he's attached to me, follows me everywhere, he's sitting at my feet right now. We got very lucky to get such a sweet, terrific dog from the pound.

Oh, yeah, and hiding the details of my backstory while dropping hints periodically. Oh, wait. :P
Yeah, next thing you know I'll be wearing a black hood or a mask to conceal my face, and sitting in the darkest corner where I can watch the room without being noticed.

Got to meet the DC manager, and WHOO! He's a hottie!
But he's nowhere near as cute as my boyfriend!

*eyes the package Boirin has.*
And what's this talk about packages!? I'm supposed to be the mail man, so any package business shoudl be directed to me and only me! Now, lesse... i don't remember givin' Boirin any package.... I'ma gonna check the list:
* Baren
* Blunderbuss
* Bloody Kat
* Boomstick
* Brand
* Brounette
* Brumilde
Nope, no Boirin :P
Try tellin that to Marroc Tyros.
*pokes Tensek in the eye*
Okay, you know how when you're dropped into negative hit points, you have a 10% chance to stabilize? Obviously if one finds oneself in this position, one would prefer to be as far away from the lethal -10 hp as possible, in order to have more chances for the dice to give that lucky 10. I think I can tell one just what one's chances of surviving are, depending on where between -1 and -9 one finds oneself (I'm going to round to two decimal places, and where applicable, I'll round up--yes, a no-no in D&D, but acceptable here. :P Besides, there's rounding up for the cleric's 3/4 BAB...).
*eyes the package Boirin has.*
I'm trying to find ya man, but Boirin doesn't know what you look like, where you hang out, where you board, or where you eat, so its a little hard to find you.
Oh and Tyros, I am not trying to steal you buisness I'm trying to become Sam Fisher or a super hero, theres a difference. ;)
Sorry, folks, but the boards were loading painfully slowly for me today and yesterday. To be fair, it might have been my computer -- it took me hours to fill in the first post for Threfdil and Company. (I won't be doing the same for Gil and Jace, since Jace doesn't have posted stats. I'll keep a private record, though.)
I'm going to try to catch up on my reading overnight tonight, and after that, I'm going to see about moving a few adventures along.
Right now, though, a nap.
The man was considered to have the greatest influnce on Shakespear's style. Well I personaly found This to be rather amuseing. It'll probably **** off some of the more die hard Shakespear fans I know. But it does make you think.

How do you build a character with two apprentice levels? Is it shown somewhere in the SRD? If it does, just point to the suitable document.

As for Tensek... I thought Treble was the one eyeing others' packages. Has Tensek decided to now take the same path? :P
See you later!*looks down at hand which fades away*
You.. you.. you shot my hand, didn't you?
Yes.. I remember it clearly now.. 'twas the fifth of Shestvim... :P ;)
It is a regretable turn of events though I apologise for the hand.

Ah darling, your love is like a puffs kleenex - with lotion and vitamin e - unto the red, chapped, and cracking nostril of my heart. Let me be metalic detail paint on your D&D miniatures.
This is what happens when you allow English Composition majors to use AIM at four in the morning.

1) Now I can drive car whenever I want to.
2) I look utter fool with a small band-aid on upper lip. Shaving with brand new blade is dangerous.
Razors should not be used t cut hair.
Especially by people with shakey hands and bad eyesight.
Now I'm going to have flashbacks about my childhood all night, running away from grandma while she chases me with a razor saying. "It's just a little trim. What can it hurt."
Thanks ST. You have a good night too.
:-p
.o0(Bah, in my day we didn't use saftety razors. We had straight razors and we liked them. If you can't lop off an extremeity with it, it aint worth usin.)

Hmph, try using an exacto blade (without the knife portion), or one of them little razor blades that come in a box of about 500. Now that's good fun. ;)
Oh, that would be dry shaving btw. I really didn't have much to work with.
steps slowly away from the above discussionMy appologies (as oft as they come) for my rude disapearance. I don't know when I'll have internet capabilities, as things are most hectic right now.
Good luck on finding honor guys, wish I hadn't missed the train.
I expect to return with a refined posting schedual in the next month. *crosses fingers* Until then I will check in on monday from the school (just started late-start classes and changed my major to exercise science.
Ta-ta!
Okay, time to step out for a bit.
It's bedtime for me. See you later, folks.
Likely she's going to be fine, but whyyy does it have to happen when she isn't home for ME to take care of her?
Sorry, sorry! My Friday-evening-with-the-boyfriend was promptly followed by the ex calling to say our daughter is ill.
Likely she's going to be fine, but whyyy does it have to happen when she isn't home for ME to take care of her?
"So you can shower her with attention when she gets back." ;)
I'll be away tomorrow, but back in the evening. And hopefully with better news about my little girl.
But wait! The 4-year old is lying on her dad's couch, throwing up! And what's this? Wearing... the same clothes mommy dressed her in the morning before.
Come back from the wedding. She hasn't moved. She wants her mommy. So... mommy brings her home, and will be missing work tomorrow.
On a happier note, I bought a secondhand loom! :D Now, to learn to use it!
Oh! That kind of fiber! I was thinking it was some kind of strange health nut convention. :embarrass
I thought of tough looking sheep with no moral fiber. Like grass slayer. :P
You just reminded me -- I was going to go back to that one vendor and buy a book for Natala! One of those mini-sized books, it was "Feng Shui with Shorn"... Yes, that Shorn. Wallice & Grommit...It's been a busy week for me, hence the not many posts made by me.... I'll try and get in a post tomorrow updating Aramil for a week or so, but for now I'm out for the night. Good Night Everyone
*gets fed up with waiting for Tensek to post something and jumps to it.*
Sorry about that.
But next time send me an e-mail. I'm able to check that more often than the boards now.
I'd be happy for this to progress, Darkar, but we seem to be missing Tensek. We need a third!
Weekends aren't the best time for me to post right now hopefully that will change soon though.

I'm so far behind

So it appears I've totally lost my Lucian Risk account :S.

I hate having a flu. Of course of such kind that I have to drag myself to classes tomorrow as I am not sick enough.

I've just been reading Hermy's meeting with his father... why do you make it so believable? It almost makes me wanna cry
Really good story going down there, and really good RPing, too. Congrats to all in there ), that should hopefully get better by next week. I'll be away and completely unable to post this weekend (Fri evening through Sun), so if the adventure is moving on at that time (hopefully ;)) you might want to NPC Ran.
I've just been reading Hermy's meeting with his father... why do you make it so believable? It almost makes me wanna cry
I'm glad you're enjoying the story
I've been really impressed by the players' work here, and we've been building up to this scene since May of 2003.
That's... almost a year and a half ago! I just can't believe it... Well, it all pays out in these wonderful pieces of pure RPG, as far as I'm concerned. And just what were those crab like monsters?
Hey people, I've sent my charsheet to all three required DMs, one of them, Hermy's, bounced back. I know you are not accepting new players at the moment, I just want to save some time ;)

Ran, isn't it GMT +2 at the moment because we're yet to move our clocks backwards for daylight savings?
Strictly speaking, yes, but I've gotten used to making time zone references like the boards do - they refer to CET by GMT+1, even if that's not correct the whole year 'round.
Evening, folks.

I mean: I'm not a slacker, I just have my priorities straight.And one of them was reading all of MegaTokyo before I did my homework for Mythology and Psychology of Dreaming. :D

I expect Brodda will be back periodically for guest visits as time in my life allows (or maybe as the needs of the city demands?)
Here's to one final FINAL melodramatic post, however this one is from me and not my character (whom I have come to adore, btw). I'll be popping in periodically to check up on you folks, just like Big Brother (Mwaa-haa-haa).

Yummy, but I wonder how accurate the taste is... nibbles dreamily Hm, I should see about finding out...
Okay, I'm done. Toodles.
Brodda...I'd like to say that your posts have always ranked among the most enjoyable of any I saw on the boards. They have been consistently well written, creatively constructed, and perfectly in-character. Your plotlines are quite entertaining, and you created a character that has been both original and realistic. Saddest of all, Maelut never even got to interact with you. When you come back to town, stop by Nobody's. The drinks are on me.
Hmm... not quite the right ring to it.
"Hi ho, Friendship, away!"
That's got the right cadence, sure -- sounds ominous, though.

On the bright side I can be much more active now. Until I'm employed least ways.
(On a side note. I claim the leetest post out here. Pose 1337).
Me? Yes, no, and maybe so. Exhausted from work today, and I work overnight for 4 nights starting Sunday, and then I am off for 6 days. Yet I feel emotionally drained right now, and I am glad, but sad the adventure is moving slowly.

After she left (a word would have been nice) I managed to break out the real chaos, with three failed mosh pit attempts.
Anyone else ever realized that freak dancing in formal wear isn't as eroctic as it is funny. I mean seriously 9 out of the ten girls just weren't built geneticly to freak, and 10 out of 10 guys just can't dance.

Sorry I haven't been posting my laptop seems to be slowlying frying itself, and it takes hours for anything to load on it. I think I fixed it for now and I'll check when I get home from work today.
Thanks for your patience and my apologies to Darkar, Mirizad, Borin, ST, Kai, and Marroc as well. ~_~
I'll try to post as often as much as my laptop will allow.
I thought I did but I'm not so sure anymore.
Darkar did I remember to IM you yet?
I thought I did but I'm not so sure anymore.
Yes you did, and I replied.
On another note: I'll be out for 4 days, which is the same as saying that I'll be back on Tuesday. It seems that I'm going on a small vacation to Galizia. So... see you guys then
Have fun, and do not eat the whole snail! :P
I'll start with a quote from the PHB, pg. 78, and the entry on Knowledge checks:
In many cases, you can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers and vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster's HD. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster. For every 5 points by which your check exceeds the DC, the DM can give another piece of useful information.
Unfortunately, someone forgot to place lycanthropes on the list of creatures, but I'm going to be generous and allow for a Knowledge (nature) check, since that fits animals, giants (which can be lycanthropes) and monstrous humanoids. Knowlege (arcana) may also have fit, but as I said, I'm trying to be generous here.
Jace has no ranks in any Knowledge skills, and therefore doesn't know a thing about werewolves. He doesn't know that the curse may be passed on with a bite, nor does he know that they are vulnerable to attack with silver weapons.
Gilgiga, on the other hand, does have a generous +7 modifier on Knowledge (nature) checks, and the base DC for a werewolf check is fortunately only a 13 (two HD of wolf plus one of humanoid, since that's the base value for such a creature). I happened to roll a 6 on the check, for a result of 13, which allows for him to know about the silver vulnerability, but that is the limit of what he can recall about werewolves. He does not know that the curse may be passed on, nor is he aware of the belladonna treatment. (I may have allowed for that if he had ranks in Heal or even Profession [herbalist].)
I'm afraid I'm going to need both of you to edit your most recent posts, guys. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm also sorry if it seems that I'm singling you out -- that's not the case. A similar incident occured a few months back on another adventure and I'd prefer to avoid it coming up again.
This puts your characters at a disadvantage compared with what you know, but it is how the rules system works for such things. While I'm going to adhere to those rules, I'm also going to do what I can to not leave you without the opportunities you'll need to have reasonable chances here.
But I warn you all now: the next time I read players having an encounter in which they assume their character has access to the same knowledge of a creature that they do (barring prior personal experience or consultation, contact with someone who has learned better, or exceptional modifiers for the relevant Knowledge skills), I will feel free to misread what they've said if the checks do not support the characters knowing all of the details.
That could mean reading "silver" as "iron" (not even "cold iron") or "mithral" or even "kryptonite." It could mean reading "wolvesbane" as "arsenic." It could mean ignoring any reference to getting a wound checked against the transfer of a curse (that your character does not necessarily know exists), or even against possible methods for curing it.
It might not -- there's always a chance that you might get it right anyway. Just don't bet on it.
You may think this should be common knowledge (DC 10), but you have the advantage of mass media exposure over your characters.
Once again, I apologize to the players who've had to wait on me patiently for the past few days. I was hoping to address this sooner, but haven't. Once the edits are posted, I'll aim to have a prompt response ready.
gonna give it a try tonight tho.
Luckily my roommate's a computer wiz
Hopefully my laptop will be alive again. ^_^

What about assumed prior knowledge? Is Hermy going to have to forget everything he knows about unicorns? And Minto women? :D
As for Minto... there's precedent for what he knows, and I will say no more on the subject.
We're kind of stuck there. Going to have to grandfather that sort of thing -- and there is, of course, the matter of how much of it Hermy is going to get wrong.
Well besides being a horsey with a horn, all of it of course. Unless they changed them in an errata so they give you wishes when you catch them.
Yep for the moment my laptop is nothing more than a glorified gameboy/juke box for now. Seems as long as I'm hooked into teh web I'm getting bombarded by billions and billions of teeny tiny little spam bots, and backdoor programs so it won't even run at any speed. So my weekend online time is for now shot, but I can and will try to post as often while at school. My apologies go out to all those I'm currently in adventure mode or ic interacting with.
Codrian is right, Ad-aware is a great app, you can also search google for 'stinger', the first link leads you to mcafee's site where you can download it, it's a small program that removes about 40 dire viruses, I recommend you scan your HD with it.
LOL Now that I read it, it sounds quite spammy, but well, it's for everyone's e-safety...

Hermy read books as a kid, I am sure there were references to unicorns in some of them. ;)
No substitute for a Knowledge check, though.
True, but the books led to his misinformation. :D
Once again, my teammates blew off their share of the work, so I had to do 2 1/2 days of work in one day. To quote a teammate last month: "Oh, it doesn't make any difference, Eileen. You always get it all done anyway, no matter how much there is."
Now I have to watch an (almost)obsolete training video for the rest of my shift...
And why do they always have damage reduction?
In the meantime, it is time to pay our respects to the passing of the Donn from our census. At the player's request, due to the difficulty of returning to an old character after a long absence, he is taking up a new character -- two years to the day that Donn started this game.
I'll try and update my week post tomorrow if I have time, and as far as I know I should. Sorry about the recent inactivity, schools taking a beating on me....
Oh and btw Mirri, only 14 RL days until your chain shirt is finished. :D
-AD
In the meantime, I'm here for a while
Sorry I haven't been around lately, I was a little occupied.
As Robi Draco Rosa said:
Around the world I walk, walk
Asking the chimera about the enigma of destiny
Nomad, crazy, sleepwalker and dreamer
A vagabond.
(Sorry, looks and sounds better in his native spanish.)
I am trying to get back on track, so I will try to get in touch with the right people. I just get a little tired these days.
And hang in there, Aramil.
Well, I failed my driving test a second time. o.o
All summer it hasn't rained, the day of my road test, it pours cats, dogs, and cows. Thing is, I can't remember how to defogg my windows.
Examiner says he would have failed me for that.
Then as I was backing up into the stall at the end of my test, I bumped into the barrier behind me.
He said I failed for that as well.
Going again in two weeks, maybe it will snow.
(By the way, I was even working at a driving school at that time, so my teacher/boss was like
omgwtfn00b!!!1! heh )HUZZAH!!!!!
now I go to B-E-D. ^_^
Driving test was the easy part... the difficult part comes from actually driving my pile of crud Volvo from place to place. Let's see... I can't drive on motorways too well because the car starts to shudder violently at speeds over 100 kph. Driving during evenings and nights is a nightmare because lamps are so woefully powerless that I might as well drive without and the windshield is one large reflective surface for any light shining at my car. When starting the car, it always takes 3 to 4 tries to keep it running... and then for the first 5 minutes I drive, the motor just dies whenever I shift from 3 to 2 or from 2 to 1. Just great.
Well, I'm back from me holidays but my school has already started so... I'm gonna be a bit more busier than normal, but still be able to keep up with you guys.
(And is the change of looks a bit too drastic? :P )
.But I am familiar with how poorly a beet-up volvo will run...they have a mind of there own.
And we had to learn the name and location of every hill in the world by heart! :D
Quick quiz hot shot, where is the hill called Fred? ;)
Do you young whippersnappers really want me to tell you how good you have it? Why, in my day... Why, it's not even my day anymore and I *still* walk around barefoot, uphill, wind and hail in my face, at least 20 miles just to find the nearest baker who always runs out of bread before I get there. :D
Tsk, Ran, I know perfectly well you bake your own bread. ;)
By the way, I like homebaked bread
Don't begrudge an old man a bit of confuddlement - I meant the miller, who is always out of flour. :D
"Old man"? Ha! You're just a youngster... [mutters]...and a hottie...[/mutters]
No substitute for a Knowledge check, though.
What about Hermy's knowledge about vampires? Does that substitute for a knowledge check?
(And could Kywyn please post the illustration he drew for it so those who missed it the first time will get the joke?)

I'm sure there are worse things in the world than your baby screaming in your arms and not being able to comfort him at all, but right now I can't think of many.
But if there is anything worse, I don't want to know what it is.I'm heading home, folks, after a quick stop at the store.
Kywyn, not sure how long it's going to take me to respond to your post. I'm sick, Magellan's sick, Ishie's sick.
I'm sure there are worse things in the world than your baby screaming in your arms and not being able to comfort him at all, but right now I can't think of many.
Being a baby in the arms of a screaming mommy is probably worse.
I'm pretty sure just being there is a lot of comfort to poor Ishie. Not so sure about Magelion. He probably needs cookies to be comforted.
Just give him food, warmth, and giggley faces and he'll be alllllllllright. I should know, I've never done this a thousand times.
*wink wink*
Unt I shall untar der ceety tomhorrow.
whoa.... the place changed colors.... trippy.
I really hate anything but the linear display mode, and the big user names are annoying. Let's see if I can set those back to the way I like them.I hate to run off just as things are getting interesting but it looks like some of my friends are coming back from college for the weekend and I have a seven page paper to write, so I doubt I'll have much chance to post. I'll try to check in, but please feel free to NPC me as much as necesarry.
Okay... so I take that back. I'm here, too exhausted to do anything this weekend. Falling down and sleeping now, posting later.
the colors changed!!!
Adventure is interesting ST must know more! O_O
So now for the question: does this thing about elves apply to not-so-much-anymore-elves?
I think I have a guess, but thats between me and the wall.
Anyway, whether or not Fern fits in my hours are as follows (all EST).
Monday: 7pm - 11pm
Tuesday: 9pm - 2am
Wednesday: 7pm - 2am
Thursday: 7pm - 11pm
Friday: 9pm - 2am
Saturday: 7pm - 2am
Sunday: 7pm - 2am
Those are more or less definate, though I expect I'll be around much more than that. Yes, some might say I have far to much time on my hands.
Oo, new banner came through to match the colors.
Anyway, everyone should watch. It's going to be exciting, and you'll all get to see some of my campus. Time for me to grab some pizza and go get a good seat in the lounge. Peace to all.
Yay! Our Custom Banner came through! Thank you Kywyn! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
Just wow.
Also the new adventure sounds interesting...
So, I'm not quite all here...
Anyway, I can still be found on msn messenger, and yahoo IM.
-AD
I really enjoyed reading that guys and gals.
What's the difference? Well, I can't use the sewing machine from right next to the computer. :P
Cngratulations to everyone else for not levelling! Our consistency should be commended. With levels.
:D
Presidential debate was interesting, and Kerry really smacked Bush around the floor. Just came back from sushi with my girlfriend, going to settle down in our room and do some work. Peace all.
I don't wan't to induce a politcal debate, but if he really got hozed he's gonna need another mericle this election.
Hello all.
i think it was due to some security settings on my computer that was preventing the viewing.
My daughter will be a happy little girl, if a blinding one, when it is done.Obsessive sewing. But the bulk of the lurid pink with flowers bathrobe is done
Don't forget to take a picture to show off all your hard work.
I want to make a cape! <.<

That adventure thread is intriguing...
Cool sewing. :D

psst you should have made your new screen name Lucian Risque..... ;)
Use Bob for the fitting on a 4-year old's bathrobe? A four year old's bathrobe can only be titled fred, sheesh. :p
Happy Columbus day all you Americans.
Well, I'll see you guys when I can, so... until then.
Tyros
There's a doohickey that will tell you if an outlet is grounded properly...Looks like i'll be able to post today, since my friend isn't commin over. He fell asleep.....
Oh well, at least i have something to look forward to this week.... Tomorrow is my Birthday :D I'll be 16!!!!!!!!
I'll be around ;)
Do you know what this means?
It means that I can have the arcade all to myself! :D
I'm sorry, everyone, but this is an opportunity I cannot pass up -- even with the headache I'm having right now. Hopefully the water and exercise will help get rid of it.
Evening, folks. And Aramil, if I don't see you tomorrow, happy birthday.
16? Pretty nice age to be. ;)*looks for the proper thread*
How long will this take? It should be over long before the funeral of Mirielle and Gamis, an event planned for later this year. Sometime between two and four weeks. (I'll aim for just over two weeks, but odds are that it will go over that budget -- hence the possibility of four.)
Did school make me miss something this big?
*Sigh* Well anyways, i'm interested in the adventure ST. And if that is true, who exactly am I making the chain shirt for?
-AD
...
;)
Don't worry, Aramil. Miri is willing all her cash and magic items to the player's new character, the single-classed cleric the game needs so badly...
...
;)
Like Natala, and Silmarwen :P
I'm willing to tag along, just for the sake of saying I've done something socalable in Garic's city.
Don't take this the wrong way, ST, but I suddenly have Zappa's Dancing Fool on my mind... :D
Fair enough, that. My average performance for songs I've completed is just over a 78% on Single play, and just over 72% on Double (in which I've completed 174 of the 256 songs on the Extreme machine) -- and I do look rather sad when I'm flailing around in an effort to upgrade one of my Cs or Ds. Just surviving Daikenkai or Leading Cyber or DXY is somewhat satisfying.
Gaining one dance point each time I try Long Train Runnin' is frustrating in an amusing way, but Rhythm and Police is improving steadily, which makes me very happy.
No new letter grades today, but I managed to shave over 200 points off of my total of missing points -- and I managed 985 steps before I slipped on one and thus missed a 1000-step combo. Not bad. A fun day, all in all, and my headache finally cleared up when it realized I was going to keep playing no matter what it tried.
So in that unnamed adventure thread, ST mentioned the funeral of Gamis and Miri...did I miss something, or was that just a joke?
Gak! Remind me not to write text when I've just bee discussing old Hugh Grant/Andie McDowell films. Sorry about that -- and the chain shirt still has a buyer, Aramil.
Huzzah!

Argh... I don't know why I even try to go on those machines anymore. I always feel like I am just unable to control my feet.
Hey, it's taken me a year to get this far. Unlike Esmet, I need speed mods. On the other hand, she can't use them, and she doesn't play Double. :D
I am uncoordinated so that is my only problem. I tend to fall upstairs opposite of gravities pull. Major reason I prefer to live on the first floor of anything.

Evin came to visit this weekend. We woke up at godawful early this morning to get to SFO in time for her 8 am flight. But on Sunday, after my matinee, we went and bowled one game. I did a 101, she did a 62 and says that she seems to have lost her touch.
We then went over to the little arcade cluster at the alley, where she tried the DDR Extreme machine there--this being her first time playing. I think it would've been better to get her feet wet at the one at the movie theater, especially since that one has a Beginner setting. She said she felt "thoroughly humiliated" after that, and was intent on leaving the place right then and there, but I convinced her to stay and play two games of air hockey. She proceeded to grind me into the dirt at that. Then we went home.
I've been sleeping since I got home at around 8:20 this morning. Traffic in the city was such a pain this morning that I inadvertently exited twice on the way to the airport and once on the way back, due to people being in the way of merging. Still tired. And I have math to do today.
Thats right. Belly button lint.
Sorry!http://www.geocities.com/kywyn_sor/tree.JPG
Great picture as always, Kywyn, but why am I reminded of Super Mario Brothers 2?
Gamis, if you can ever talk Evin back onto a DDR machine, look for the number associated with each song -- it will be displayed beside the song list with a number and an equal number of footprints beside it. If she starts on Light, try playing songs that are 2s -- 3s at the most. Popular starters seem to be Butterfly, Speed Over Beethoven, and Witch Doctor. Crash! has also been popular, but she might find Let's Get Down, Let's Groove, or Love Shine a lot more straightforward. I recommend La Copa de la Vida, La Bamba, and Don't Stop (which I play any time I get discouraged -- still haven't AA'd it, though). Do not try Paranoia Survivor Max (you're probably better off avoiding all Paranoias for now), Max 300, Maxx Unlimited, or The Legend of Maxx until you're prepared to fail a song or have gotten really comfortable at it.
Oh, and while it may seem self-evident, I've found that a number of people don't realize that you're trying to step on the correct arrow(s) when the moving ones connect with the static, transparent ones at the top of the screen. Also, Light tends to step pretty much on the beat.
And maybe this is more advice than you wanted. If you think I got carried away here, you ought to see me play Living in America on Heavy Double. :P
I was hoping to catch a movie yesterday, but plans shifted and I ended up being too tired to go. I'm going to try again today. Sorry, all, but I've been promising myself a movie for months now. I ought to be back in the saddle by tomorrow. I'd like to make a post for a few people, but I'm still waking up (again -- I can't remember how many hours I've slept in the last two days, but my cough is a lot better now).
See you all later.
Great picture as always, Kywyn, but why am I reminded of Super Mario Brothers 2?
Thanks. You know, I think they might be related:

Seems a little more then a conicdence that our guide would just happen to be a hobgoblin. The little theme paralells between the essay and the adventure are kinda cute to pick out. Just gota try and not go with the crowd (er wolf pack) and keep indivduality over comfority.
;)
Well, it's busy here at work, I'll be working extra hours again, and between that and getting ready for my vacation, and personal life stuff... I'm not starting anything new until I get home. :P
It's taken me nearly two hours to write this post
So today in english we were reading Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self-Reliance, and I came to this line, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds..."

Stick around ST long enough, and you're likely to see many more literary references.
In other news... Hero.
Beautiful.
I have no idea what to say to people who hated the film. I get the impression that they wanted a Jet Li film, and this wasn't one, not in the sense they wanted. I get the impression that they not only didn't get the symbols (some are lost on me, but I'm hoping to correct that, because I could see them), but concluded that if they didn't understand them, they couldn't have been important. I think it had to have been a lack of respect for imagery in storytelling, because I can't understand how they couldn't make sense out of such a simple (but simplicity is not a vice), straightforward piece on conflict. (And more than that, but I admit that I was taught that most literature is driven by conflict -- and the conflicts in this one work well.)
I am very grateful to all of the people who said nothing about the film to me -- except to tell me to see it. I hope I've said only just enough to convince the rest of you to take a look.
Having said that, there is one aspect of the story that bothers me, but I can't discuss that either because it a) gives away some critical elements of the story, and b) it might be a violation of the CoC. See the movie and ask me on AIM, if you need to know. Or e-mail me. No PMs on this one, please.
Okay, time to get to work. Gilgiga, good eye, and I'm glad you've had the opportunity. I need to read more Emerson myself. (I need to read a lot more about a lot of people. I'm going to need to visit the library more often.) I will make new entries for the adventure before I return home.
Darn -- my intended lunch for tonight is still frozen. Ack. I ate all of the granola at work too, and I'm out of fruit and veggies again. Okay, let's see what I do have -- ah. Okay, that will work. Not ideal, but it will do. See you later.
Now all I need to do is enlist the aid of an italian speaking plumber to trounce my enemies and I'll be set.
Looks at leadership feat.

The dentist is closed on Fridays, my painkillers aren't strong enough, and sleeping with an ice pack on my face is not my idea of cozy!
Still, I know people who live with chronic migraines and other such illnesses, and this serves to increase my respect for the way they handle it.
Goodnight, all.
My supervisor decided I have to be on the team that answers customer emails. I have been doing nothing but that since 5am.I am now a zombie.
And I have 2 more hours of this hell ahead of me.
Sorry, I hope to be back soon.
Hope you feel better Darkar. ;)
It has been a busy weekend, i'll try and post tomorrow seeing as how Aramil completes the chain shirt on tuesday... :D
Back to the regularily scheduled grindstone. w00t!
My nephews are sooo disappointed in me.
you sure about that?
And hopefully you get a good few days off really quick ST, it's gotta be killing your body workign this much.

HL2 Ending was runined for me. God that would have been so awesome if had I not read that bloody review. I'll still buy it for the other comp and love every minete of it, but the end just won't do it justice.The review basicaly ignores most of the game, then skips ahead to the final scene.
Thanks Jerk.
sorry folks, just needed to vent...
for your problem for not saying the endingMy apologies. Between pain, and being swamped at work, I will not be posting tonight.I picked up a game, Day of Reckoning for Gamecube, where you can make a wrestler and play him or her through a career to try to get a shot in the WWE. It features an insanely detailed create-a-wrestler mode, where you can customize everything from eyelashes and foot size to the camera angles of the character's entrance to the ring. It also has a paint tool that lets you create custom designs/patterns for things as well. So I created models for Kywyn and Sir Gamis and took a few pictures to share (the still shots don't capture the coolness of the animation but are still pretty neat).
http://www.geocities.com/tinyelfinrage/DoR
Wooo! :D
Feel better, Schera.
So, ST aims to be like my cat - sleep, eat, sleep, eat, sleep... ;)
A noble occupation indeed.

;)hope you feel better soon Mirizade
It's just that they got in a few more attacks in the meantime and rolled pretty well. Just not as well, fortunately.
*Notice*
If anyone is interested, phyrexians are recruiting people, because they are not able to conquer Dominaria by themselves. If you'd like to apply, there are links to the board and website of the Coalition War Game in my sig. Thanks for reading. ;)
Part of that may come from how it also seems to me to be a clear point from which to launch into a new beginning.
As the scheduling supervisor put it, she's really glad I had a root canal since I now have a (very) big bill to pay off and need the extra hours at work...
mean supervisor
that's not so great
mean supervisor
Nah, she's not mean. She's the same one that went against policy to give me vacation time during November -- when no-one is allowed to have vacations ;)
Busy week for me again, i'll try and post today, but who knows.....
Congrats to the levelees!
Contact me if you need me.

(P.S. I changed my AIM sn to BillC279 )
I guess all my time playing Time Crisis 2 paid off eh?
Or then you just can shoot. I'm quite good shooter (regular Shooter's Pin from army when I was there last year) but I'm absolutely terrible in any FPS games.
But these are woeful news, for they show that the evil smelly elf is still alive and causing olfactory disturbance. :fight!:
Joking aside, i wonder what kind of meeting the two would have.
Congrats levelees :D ....[under the breath] grumble,
I wasn't one of them, grumble[/under the breath] i wonder what kind of meeting the two would have.
I would predict a lot of staring at each other. And then Kai would try to cut my ears off, but I'd escape helped by magic.
Touche my arch nemisis, touche
i wonder what kind of meeting the two would have.
My guess:
Three pages worth of posting about the character's various internal monologues. Coddy would likely think back to his morning tea and consider the various metaphysical rammifications of the way his toast crumbs had fallen, while Kai would be torn by internal divisions over whether to take off his mask and poke Codfish with it. Another few pages of various thought bubbles and slow development of arcane backstories would follow. Meanwhile, all a passerby would see after the entire encounter was two guys who looked at each other for a moment before disappearing off to opposite ends of the street to brood mysteriously.
By the way, I hold both Kai and Codrian's posts in the highest regard. I just can't read them all. They're so long, and my widdle brain can't process all the innuendo. *twitch*
Edit: Congrats to the levellers! (I'm not referring to a historical political group, by the way.)
LOL!! Too funny Maelut...for some reason I can see that myself. As for my posting I will have to apologize, sometimes I can't decide whether Kai is completely nuts or not. ;)
[Sings]Sometimes you feel like a nut, somtimes you don't[/Sings]
Havent heard that in awhileAmusingly enough, I scored an AA on my first four songs (with Sami-flags [11 Greats, named for Sami of Winnipeg] on both songs in the second round), but scored my lowest Great count (8) in the first song of Round 3 -- and only got an A! (Lousy 5.1.1. with only 48 steps...)
And then today I learned that my 20-year high school reunion is this summer. It's also clear across the country from here. Well, there goes this year's budget. :/
Though I don't know much about this talk of DDR, I never was any good at it. :embarrass Ill just have to stick to my reliable Street Fighters arcade.I'm baaaack! :D Did y'all miss me?
nah... course ya didn't.
Sorry it took me so long to get back but my computer got fried, as you all know, and after it got fixed, I noticed that my modem also got fried. So it had to be fixed as well. And that only happened today, taking 3 hours of my precious afternoon.
Sorry to have kept you so long, Mirri, if you haven't moved on yet. I'm gonna ask you to endure a bit longer as I have to get to work for school right now. I'm counting on posting again tonight.
Tyros
It's official, I now need one of those cloth roll-up things that hold circular knitting needles in order by size. And a bigger tote bag. good luck on being organized.....And if the scene isn't finished in two weeks, you'll have to wait for me to get home from vacation!
well than I'll just ask now
do I get to use my level advanced stats or must I wait for them to be posted?
Go ahead & use your leveled stats, I don't care!.oO(Of course, when the peon polymorphs into dragon form...)
Tensek:
Peon: Rar fear my flames!
Tensek:
Hands peon a roll of mentos."DRAGON!"

"I'm sure your associates are a pleasant lot, but they've always struck me as rather ineffectual. To wrapped up in their business, perhaps... anyway, it's been nice talking with you; perhaps we'll meet again."
I just got zinged :P
Nah, Fern's just generalizing Strikers to see what kind of reaction she gets from Kai. .oO(Yeah, messing with the psychotic elf... real smart.)
i think both ;)
I'm with you on that one.
[Swaps places with Tensek during guard scene]
Kai: Tell me whats going on here....
Guard: Its a ArrRRarRAGGGHHghGgh!!!! *gurgle*
Guard starts to fall over, with a knife in back.
Guard: You didn't....even give me..a chance...to lie...Ugh...
Kai looks around slightly blushing.
Kai: Darn...I really need to stop being so Evil and Bad. Its makes trying to get info so much harder...
Kai turns and flies away into night...Like a bat thingy...or bird of somesort...The End.
Actually now that I think more about it, maybe I shouldn't be critizing Tensek...Sorry dude.
[phony French accent]
"His style leaves much to hope for and that attire... oh... words are not sufficient to describe how awful it is.
*shudder*
Oh dear, how horrible. I must say, Kai, you need to contact your valet immediately. I don't know how that man can allow you to go around like that.
Utterly terrible."
[/phony French accent]
:P
Besides Kai I'm workin for the good guys right now, because you never have a job for me. That's the charm of Tensek he's versatilly. :P
:P
Have a post waiting for you in elsewhere.
Oh, and the completion of thirty new DDR songs on Double play, leaving me only 49 left on the Extreme machine. (And they're going to sit there a long time too, since the nearest arcade closed yesterday and I'm a long way from passing a number of those songs. Maxx Unlimited...
) I did that on Monday. Tuesday was just waiting and stretching. My legs feel much better today, as does my cough, thankfully. Now to update the character sheets and get back into posting by tomorrow.
I'm afraid that school is taking a beating on me... its has become so bad that I'm pretty sure the only time i'll be able to play Aramil is on holidays.... which isn't very often..... so i'll have to decide wether or not to just play then or have him as an NPC till the summer....
No, I'm not proficient with this "magic box." Why do you ask?
I was going to put those entries up earlier, but I fell asleep in the middle of writing them the first time and had the computer lock up and lose them when I was drawing them up the second.
I never thought i'd see the day the great Bob would let himself fall asleep while doing some work. It must be that damned DDR Machine...all may be lost!! 
love me today.[mutter]
Poisoned twice, imps and kobolds, snarrgle hmph.

Hey, I'm sorry, but I was a 1st Edition player -- and not the only one who misses black and white art on pages that readily accepted colored pencil. I miss those days. The 2nd and 3rd Edition art isn't so...
--interactive.
Well after some careful thought, I've made my decision.... Aramil is now going to be NPC'd until times when I have a nice vacation from school, i.e christmas and spring break, then I will continue to play him once the summer arrives, then when shool is back in session, i'm afraid that he'll go back to being NPC'd.....
I hate school......
I am sorry to here that Aramil. I am glad school isn't being that harsh to my schedual....but with everything else I do I am suprized that my schedual is what is it. oh well. If it is ok with our local artist, Kywn I would like to challenge the esteemed Shatteredower to a coloring contest!.....let the best man win! :D-----passage of time-------
Well it is done but I don't know how to put the picture on here....I think I would have to put it on the net....
Best way to get ahold of me is going to be email, for those of you who don't have phoning privileges.
Um, anyway, sorry for the inconvenience.
(And before anyone says I'm way to old, I went to my nephews house several times and gave him all the candy he put in my bag. He was too sick to go out and not very happy about it, so I tried to give him some Halloween fun. He seemed to enjoy it, and I further solidified my spot as favorite uncle... suck on that lolipop Therokke!) :P
Especially you, Hermy.
ARGH! I Hate! Kirby!
Nice post by the way ;)

What with Band Comps on saturdays and acadec and homework on sundays and boyscouts on wednesdays my free time has basically evaporated, however band comps are over for now and I should have some more time
Wonce again thanks, Dakar, Shez, Tenseck, Knelejalib (or however your name is spelled), and ST (allways a good thing) for your patience. Hopefully I'll have more time now.
Looks like my teachers didn't feel like given me any homework today, so i'll be able to post a couple of times to get Aramil on the speed of things with ST's adventure thingy....
But i'm not so sure that its going to be like this the rest of the week, test tomorrow, thursday, and friday, and a project due wednesday...... lovly ain't it?
I'll be lurking.... :D

Disturbing, yet I love it!

Lol these boards have a lot more smileys than the MTG ones...:D
<- best smiley evahWell done, guys. Close at the end, but you pulled it off without a casualty. For awhile there, though, I thought I had a TPK on my hands.
(I can't promise it's never going to happen, folks. Adventuring is a risky business, especially for small groups. But enjoy the victories while they last, and we'll try to at least make your deaths memorable ones. ;))
Geaz ghost that is a pretty graphic post you got there.....
Why on earth am I in a cage? Freud would have a lot to say about this dream, Ghost.
Translation:
Count Maelut in for the adventure, it sounds...erm...mysterious.
mmmm...nothing has changed in the last 2 hours......tis a tad slow tonight but I know how to stirr stuff up..... what does everybody think about... 
A little voice: no don't say it the events that have passed over the last few days. 
The presidential election.....Which has been the middle of a few fist fights at my school..... :D what do you all think of this.And with my last post in the SSAG I gave you DM's a perfect oppurtunity to start that adventure hook with my brother... unless I missed something..... Oh well....
*The sounds of screaming as the theater empties and people run for their lives*
Actually, don't worry, I won't go that far. I am, however, in the midst of designing a Half-Ogre Half-Dragon (Brass) Fighter-type crazy man. Anyone have suggestions for the backstory? I was considering making him have grown up with his mother (the dragon), a much less traditional approach to half-dragons. How would a mother brass dragon treat her half-ogre son?
"Pappara funi funi, pappara hoe hoe,
Pappara funi funi, tamago..."
Not now, Mink. They're not ready to hear lyrics like that with Beethoven...
It's a shame only two episodes were made. The moment in which Dug Finn reveals why he seeks to destroy Mink, only to learn that she never committed the act in question, forces him to pull out the tape of the first episode to rewatch the scene --
"Tomato wa dame!
Watashi no mono!
Tako wa ageru,
Mitame ga kirai..."
LATER! -- only to learn it had been cut in the editting process. And then there's the rock star who is also --
"Ran rararan,
Ya yayanan..."
...I give up.
...he has finially snapped. Somebody help, I must, subdue him before he hurts himself....but he has the dice....I have very little chance. But i must try.....for all man kinds sanity. ...(that is a smily they should make....Consider yourself lucky that the Random Damage Table hasn't been updated since 1st Edition, though. ;)
(Mind you, the "Roll every die in the room and take that much damage," entry did tend to encourage people to not get carried away with the number of dice they brought. I mean, when you had people with this d20 for saving throws and that one for attack rolls and this d6 for short sword damage and that one for morning star damage [1d6+1 at the time as I recall] and that one for burning off unlucky roll results by rolling it constantly... it got to be a bit much.)
Kind of makes you wonder. (Though try not to wonder out loud about politics here, okay? These are just pieces of trivia as presented and it's best to leave them at that. ;))
The theater was really crowded too, and my dad did not want to sit that close to the screen because it hurts his eyes. Must go again later so he can see it too. Also I saw a trailer for Revenge of the Sith, May 19th 2005 oh yeah. :D :bounce:

, well with this new level, Jace is going.....no I won't tell. :D congrats every body.Busy weekend for me and I only have time for this post. I hope that some time might clear up this week. :D
The only other comment I have is in the stances of the two adults in the image. Their legs seem too far apart for "natural" stances. Of course, that would only apply if they were spread to the sides, rather than one to the side and one to the front, I suppose -- kind of hard to portray the difference in an image sometimes, isn't it? In the other posture, they could be preparing for trouble.
(I suppose that using the spells he's using could explain Kywyn's stance. Would he perhaps "sink" into it more if that was the case.)
Having Palasha perched as she is is a nice touch, though I'm not sure about NaShae holding the weapon behind her back like that. It looks like an awkward way to hold such a weapon.
Gee, after all that, maybe I ought to remind you that I like it. :P The shadow brings out some of the dimensions and angles quite well, especially on the faces. The articulation on the gauntlets is a nice touch as well, and I also like the design on NaShae's boots and top. And the coloration of Palasha is very striking -- perhaps the face could have been a bit more clearly detailed, but I think it works as is within the dimensions of the image itself.
Thank you for showing this to us, Kywyn.
Oh, and while I'm on thanks, may I offer my compliments to Gilgiga for a recent temple post? There was a certain Zen-like quality to the insight that worked quite well to help define the role of Ordemetrex's faithful in the world. Very impressive work. Thanks for that as well.
As for Gamis' nightmare... you should have jumped, Gamis. I mean, come on -- it's not like there was a lake below! :P
(Good work on those dreams, GT -- and all you dreamers. "It's not what it seems." Good one, Gamis...)
darn stupid elf :PIn the armory, I think Shae actualy took the mace, giving the morning star to Kywyn, but I know th emorning star is listed on her sheet, so I'm not really sure. But, good eye, it is a mace in the pic (shaped like a giant d8 attached to a shaft : P).
Thanks for pointing out Gilgiga's post too, ST. Might have missed that one. Nice post, Gilgiga.
Thanks for pointing out Gilgiga's post too, ST. Might have missed that one. Nice post, Gilgiga.
Why thank you (and ST too). I didn't think much of it at the time, it just kinda formed as I went along. But I do like how it ended, that was sorta the one thing I knew I was gonna do from the beguining.
And I really do like the coloring style, it looks great. But I am a really big fan of comic book art, and that's what it sorta reminds me of.
Just a bit cleaner.
In fact it's porbably better then most comic book art all around. If not as flashy.
To me it looks that Shae is about to bean Kywyn with that mace. :P
I like how Dak is sitting there looking at the end of the tentacle. Well, I doubt I'll have much chance to look in again today, maybe if I get stuck working my whole shift in spite of my begging, pleading and whimpering...
But errands, finishing packing & spending some time with my family take priority.
By this time tomorrow, I'll be maneuvering into my seat on the airplane :D
I am off from school on friday, so I should be able to get some more posting in then.
And if you would like to meet someone new to GSC then look at my post at the SSAG. And you'll be able to finally meet Aramil's brother! Yay! :D
But alas, I can't post any more or see your reactions, I'm out for the night. Ngith ya'll ;)
I just had enough time for this post, and now i'm off to study for a test tomorrow and memorize lines for a skit that I'm in for German class. Yay! :D
Keep in mind that bouts of Noise Butterflyitis come in waves, sometimes after an absence of sound for days on end. Case in point.
I get the feeling that most of our regulars are more weekenders now. I know that a few of our veterans are very occupied with other things to say the least.
And I'm beginning to crave a much more stable schedule. It's getting tempting to take the rotation of two midnights and three evenings, let me tell you. It would be much easier to accept if it didn't involve working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from four to midnight, though.
s? Personally, even when I manage to read some posts these days, I seldom have the free hands required to type a post. When some of the posts I read are chastising me for not commenting on them, I start to wonder why I bother, y'know?Jace, you're right, the azerty keyboard is a nightmare if you're used to qwerty...
Aramil, I don't have time to read your realllllly long post in the SSAG until I get home.
Natala, I've long said that pregnancy should cause the body to grow an extra arm.
The weather is great, the sights are sightly, I'm having a great time, ciao for now!!
I'm off tomorrow! YAY! :D
So I should be able to make a post involving Oskar and Aramil at the Hungry Pelican. Look forward to it ;)
You are still able to join the Coalition Wargame if you want to...
*Goes off to post*
“Those are quite interesting,” the man says, and he purchases one depicting a bull because he was born under that astrological sign.
Kywyn doesn’t tell him it is actually a dragon.
So I'd like to give a high five to whomever took it they are from here, but I'd like to know who did it. Thanks :D
So here is HI from all of us
Its been an interesting day so far..... Can't really explain right now, but its been interesting. I'll be around if you need me.
*gives Maelut the recipe for a bread golem familiar*
Kywyn, brilliant! Tell Mel to add that loaf of kitty bread to the Smilies list!
I'm in the US again. The computer guy seems to have my computer functional again. Yes, the kids toasted it while I was gone. :P Jet lag not yet conquered. Hot bath next on my agenda.
Edit:
On the other hand, since the golem would cost 10 times as much as the place it was guarding...it might end up being an unprofitable option. C'est la vie.
That and it would be edible.
Only if you want to take 1d4+1 damage every time you take a bite. Now that's food served steamin' hot fresh!
On the other hand, it might not be very tasty...it has a noxious gas breath weapon. Guess that's what you get for eating too much garlic.
I like garlic bread. ^_^
Yes but...
In Maelut's Soviet Kitchen, the garlic bread likes you! May you feel the sufferance of thousands of tiny grease burns.
:P
Deep Slumber: Refer below to the changes to sleep. Change the spells text to read: Ths spell functions like sleep, except that it affects target creatures with HD equal to the caster's level or less, to a maximum of 10 HD creatures at 10th level. Targets that fail their first saving throw become exhausted, with a second failed save putting them to sleep; however, targets that make the second saving throw become fatigued on their next turn as usual.
Sleep: Change casting time from one round to one standard action. Add "see text" to the entries for area, duration, and saving throw. Change the spell's text to read as follows:
A sleep spell causes a magical slumber to come upon one creature per two caster levels (but at least one creature). Creatures with more than 4 Hit Dice are not affected, and those with the fewest HD are affected first.
Affected creatures do not fall asleep immediately. In the round the spell first takes affect, targets become fatigued. One the caster's turn in the next round, targets must succeed at a second Will save to avoid becoming exhausted, and will collapse into sleep the round after that if unless they succeed at a third Will save.
Affected creatures that are merely fatigued by the spell remain in that condition for one round per caster level, while a target that is exhausted but avoids sleep remains exhausted for only one round, before returning to a fatigued state for one round per caster level.
Sleeping creatures are helpless. Slapping or wounding awakens an affected creature (leaving it exhausted during its next turn, then fatigued for an additional one round per caster level), but normal noise does not, and this treatment only affects sleeping creatures -- not those who were only fatigued or exhausted. Awakening a creature is a standard action (an application of the aid another action).
At the expiration of the spell, or in the event that it is dispelled or otherwise negated, target creatures awaken immediately and fully, free of fatigue or exhaustion that might otherwise be a result of this spell. Should the cause of their awakening be temporary (exposure to a passing antimagic shell, for example), targets will return to sleep immediately if they fail another Will save, and otherwise react as though fatigued. (Creatures that were originally fatigued in such an event return to fatigued status, unless that condition's duration expires in the meantime.)
The post for prestige classes now notes the following adjustments to the dwarven defender:
Dwarven Defender (Revised): This class remains virtually unchanged, save for the description of the defensive stance and mobile stance.
Eliminate the restriction on being unable to move from the first paragraph of the defensive stance entry and, in the second paragraph replace:
"While in a defensive stance, a defender cannot use skills or abilities that would require him to shift his position, such as Move Silently or Jump."
With:
"While in a defensive stance, the defender may not perform a charge or run action. He may take a single 5' step each round without penalty, but moving more than 5' feet or using the Tumble skill in a round causes him to forfeiting the stance's +4 dodge bonus to AC until the start of his next turn. He retains all other benefits of the stance, however."
Change the text of the mobile defense entry to read: "At 8th level, a dwarven defender can move at up to half his speed without losing the benefit of the stance."

Lovely work, Kywyn.Oh well.
Of course, I won't use IE any more due to the security issues, so I can't see it either. (Wouldn't even use it before except to see Kywyn's artwork.)
And Natala, I've never even had IE on my computer. Firefox came standard.

Congrats levelees. I think Cassius had the longest time between levels that I can recall, but he has finally been rewarded. Good job.
I'll make a post tomorrow when i get some free time. Busy week....
It's one thing if you're trebling yourself while waiting on another player or a DM, but when you're trebling another player, it might be best to look for means to maneuver around the situation, if it is possible.
Just be careful not to assume too much. ;)
I have to vote today, but it's a bit of a hike to the polling station -- and the coldest it's been thus far this year. (Not too cold, but I'll need to dress for the wind.) I'm going to need a nap first, I think, so my next reply could take awhile. I do anticipate having at least one, if not two, more posts before the day's end, however.
If anybody wants to go on a little excursion out side of the walls and is around about 4th or 5th level, send me a PM or have your charecter inquire IC about Jaces notice at the SSAG. Nothing fancy....unless my DM develops a sense of humor somewhere along the way..... Hopefuly we will have no problems.... Ahem....sorry about that.
A dm with a sense of humour? Naaah!
Hey, sooner I know who's going, sooner I can finalize details...

Oh, my... Miri would so squash Kai like a bug!
Now, important matters: Should I bake a loaf of bread, or dinner rolls? And should I make both pumpkin and mincemeat pies?
Maybe I should start speak like Yoda, just to confuse people. :P
Drat. Codrian beat me to the punch. :P

Oh, crap. It's my mother's birthday!
Where's the phone, where's the phone...?
Haha Bob. Way to go...that reminds me, I better tell the folks happy T-day too. 
What are these strange words?
Aramil...you probebly won't be able to because of your schedual but I was wondering if you would like to go on the little mission of Jace's......As of yet I still have heared from anyone. And the few that are about my level, and available, are not posting much.....Intrested?
Jace...check your PM
Thanksgiving Day... Home with my kids, making yummy stuff... This is good.
Only one thing to wish for, and that would be that my sweetheart were here to share the day. But even that is okay, 'cause I know that's only a temporary situation. :D
Like, having a home, and a job, and family...
Although I still have stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach. 
I just wished I had some family close enough that I could go share the day with. Perhaps next year I will be working late the day after Thanksgiving and I will be able to go some where.
I am still suffering major financial difficulties and have no means of getting any consistant online access. Still, I have a roof over my head and food...not to mention good family an such. Dispite dificulties I have plenty to be thankful for.
As so, my return to Garics is an eventuality, but also a definate thing. I hope to return some of what this city has given me back. Look forward to comming back and hope you all have it well.
I am working on a story, though, for Tynk's time away from Garics. Should hopefully prove interesting..but nothing too flashy ;) .
Take care people, and may the swartz be with you.
~Tynk
:P
) I'm doing ham instead of turkey, too. But no cranberry sauce or mashed potatoes. Sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green beans, creamed corn, bread, rolls, pumpkin pie, mincemeat pie, egg nog & sparkling juice.
And sweet li'l kids to watch a movie with.
Quite the feast, from the sounds of it. Hmm... I've got... cranberry-grape juice, a banana, granola (almost out -- time for a grocery run soon), and vitamins.
Rice and vegetables tonight for work -- and maybe some dark chocolate. Feast fit for a king, I tell you! (Better make sure I don't overdo it, though...)
I enjoy cooking way too much. And now...time to sit around and hug my new Complete Arcane lovingly. I <3 warlock. Finally, a balanced alternative to wizard.

Dwarven Trailsteak:
Two flipsteaks, 2-4 oz each
1 tsp cracked peppercorns (adjust to taste)
4 tbsp olive oil (use extra virgin for more flavour, but some people find it too strong)
1 fresh jalapeño pepper (for spicy steaks) or banana pepper (for mild steaks)
1 onion
1 crushed clove of fresh garlic
½ oz of butter
If unable to find flipsteaks, then simply use regular steaks (small ribeyes work well, must be boneless) and flatten by striking it with the bottom of a wide and flat skillet.
Quarter the pepper lengthwise, then cut into thin slices, a little less than 1 cm wide.
Repeat with the onion.
Add the onion to the oil once it has come to heat, and carmelize on a low heat (you should hear it sizzling lightly) while stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes. After the first 5 minutes, add the butter, garlic and pepper; also add peppercorns at this point. Continue cooking until onions are browned. Bring the pan up to a high heat, and flash fry the steaks one at a time. It may be necessary to stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.
:P
If you have to beat the steak with a skillet to make it cooperate, perhaps you should remove it from the cow first...
:P
Hey, it's not my fault if some people don't know how to cook with really fresh ingredients. And Aramil, I'll be sure to post some other recipes on here too. The only way I learned was by experimenting, I highly recommend just trying something. It's a lot of fun, if you've got the inclination to have a go. Then again...there is something oddly satisfying about ordering sushi delivery.
It just didnt feel the same. I must have rotten luck to have duty on T-day this year and last. *sigh* I'm sorry. Tell your captain to give you shore leave in Portland at Rose Festival :D Brodda and I will rustle you up some cookies.
Yeah, that is going a long stretch to reach an optimistic viewpoint, isn't it? :P
i don't know where I'd be without you.Nope, not even "My Blue Heaven."
Can never be too sure...
Now, where did I leave "To Serve Man" again?
I should be able to get online from Therokkes fairly regularly, so I'll see you all soonish.
I've been at work since 11 this morning, broke at about a quarter after two for thirty minutes and some eats. Had the ham dinner we were serving today. Selling pies was crazy. Changed to cashier soon after my break, and stuck it out while 8 o'clock approached at the pace of a hobbled snail. Took home a chocolate satin pie, browsed for leftovers for dinner (looks like they finished off the ribs while I was at work), and now here I am. Got more than forty-two hours this week; next check should be a good one. Opening as cashier tomorrow at 9:30.
Due to Mom working as well and Jace feasting at his gf's, we're shooting to have our meal all together this weekend--Turkey molé if Gramma follows her plan.
sounds tasty...grammas cooking rulez :DMaybe I'll post some more today, but I have to excavate my room today (its starting to develop tydal rythems from all the junk on the floor).
cheers

I just came back from seeing National Treasure, and I must say, it was a pretty good movie. I'll be around to post in the party thread. :D
Now to check the threads and maybe grab a nap before work.
So, if you haven't yet, post on over to the halfling party and have a go at it!
*Spends 5 minutes using the Find command on a few of the threads for "Godot"*
*Spends 2 minutes reloading IE while wondering how it could freeze executing a Find command*
*Another 3 minutes is spent using the Find command*
*Uses Google to search for Godot*
*Reads summary of "Waiting for Godot"*
*Uses Google to search for Godot AND pants*
*Uses forum search to find Godot*
*Goes to reference in Noise 3.5 and vaguely recalls reading the conversation a while ago*
*Finally understands reference to Godot in that conversation*
*Still doesn't help with current question though*
No...
Geez guys, your very detailed post at the Party makes me feel dumb. I swear I should have paid more attention to english or something...or maybe if I had a better imagination...yea thats it, my imagination sucks...*sobs* So obviously I went to see a movie instead. *ducks quickly* What? It was a very good movie... House of Flying Daggers. And I'm here now, aren't I? :DOld Man Blackstar 135

Flashbacks to when my older brother was around eleven or so... tries again ahem. Happy Birthday, Bob.

Obviously that was meant to come out as Boöb. Just a matter of hitting Shift. :D
Congrats, ST. To many more to come, in health and good fortune (salud, amor y dinero - y tiempo para gastarlas, to use the appropriate Spanish toast).
Vielen Glükwünsche am dein Geburstag! (hopefully appropriate salutation in German)
Okay so I just ran out of laungages but thats my shot.
Hope it was a good one.
And look I'm back for a brief hiatus. Sad I missed the Archery contest. That would have been fun to role play. I guess I'll keep an eye out for other things to do.
I tried making a few posts today, but the brain just isn't working right now. Sorry, all. I even know the results of having kicked the bear, but I just can't make a post of it.
(No, unlike how it might happen in the real world, kicking a bear has not cost Codrian a leg. :P)
I hope to get something posted from work. Just have to get the brain moving again.
Happy Third Aniversery of Turning 8

It's very unlikely you'll take first place...
And here I thought ST was the master of understatement... :P
So is continental drift, but we're stuck with that.
Five down, one to go!
Since others shared their Thanksgiving experiences: My first Thanksgiving meal was the Sunday before the holiday, this year, at my grandfather's house. (My only living grandparent, in fact.) Thanksgiving day was spent at my husband's grandparents' house. (His parents went to visit his other set of grandparents the next day, while my husband, son, and I went to visit my family again.)
Quite a lot of buzzards were circling over my grandparents-in-law's house as we finished the preparations for the meal. A sight to see, that.
We're home at last. I'm delighted. We all are. Ishie even smiled with delight at the first sight of his crib. I should be back to posting soon.
I started walking on a Thanksgiving, now that I think of it...
Hehehe... yeah quite out of context. But I couldn't resist using this smilie once I discovered it 5 minutes ago. :D
I started walking on a Thanksgiving, now that I think of it...
Walking where?
Or, as was sung in a certain Christmas special of ages past:
"You put one foot in front of the other,
And soon you'll be walkin' cross the floor..."
I miss those puppets sometimes, but don't mind me. :P
And given the parking situation, my thanks to my 'walking trainer.' :P 13 blocks today, and less than fifteen minutes to cover 'em...
Okay, that happens to people, but what's embarrassing is that I twisted it striking a bar on the DDR pad that's been placed there as a safety device! It's like getting knocked unconscious and drowning because someone threw you a life preserver -- only less fatal.
I'm icing it and trying to rest it, but this is going to take awhile.
Ouch : / Hope it wasn't a major sprain. For sprains and strains, I've heard different views on whether ice or heat helps more.
Ice initially, heat from there afterward, is what I've been told.
School was interesting today... The middleschool had their power knocked out, so instead of just sending the kids back to home, they sent them to the HS. Ingenous ain't it..... *Shakes head*
So as you can tell I had a lot of fun at school.....

Fun fact: Only two living authors of fiction appear in the top hundred for stocked books. G.B. Trudeau holds down #80 with Doonesbury -- and Jim Davis came in at #18 with Garfield.
I don't know why Benjamin Franklin's autobiography managed to rank 18th on the banned list (and only 79th on the most stocked list). Best not to speculate here, though, since that could too easily border on a political (or similarly heated) discussion. No comments, please. (No raving about Jim Davis either, please. ;))
It's been a surreal evening. I just heard William Shatner perform lyrics for a song on the radio. I've been linked to an auction for the original H.R. Puffinstuff costume (minimum starting bid of $25,000 U.S.). And I've also been reviewing a list of American library books -- both the books most likely to be stocked and the ones that have most commonly ended up banned.

Gee ST, I do not think you dropped enough names in that post :P
I so hope I am wrong.......
Sorry! My last dregs of energy will have to go to convincing my kids to go to bed.You have to understand. This is a pretty amazing accomplishment in my mind, with exams, break, and the next school semester coming down at one time.
But I think its pretty entertaining, I hope.
"I finished rereading what Hermy typed about the big man behind this theft ring, and suddenly I have a sick feeling in my stomach."
You should get that checked out. You're no good to us dead.
;)
Gee ST, I do not think you dropped enough names in that post :P
That's not name-dropping any more than saying who was on the show you watched on television would be name-dropping.
It would be name-dropping if I'd said, "So I was talking to Stephen Spielberg the other day..." or even, "So my barber told me that his father's dentist's sister's husband washes Avril Lavigne's car on Tuesdays, and he heard her say..."
And now we know what name-dropping is. Unless you can draw a connection, no matter how tenuous, to be able to claim you "know" a celebrity or other "name", it's not name-dropping. :P
Oh, and Treetrip's not dead. Oh, boy! ;)
Oh, and Treetrip's not dead. Oh, boy!
At least thats what my sister's friend's boss's neighbor who knows Calista Flockhart's dog groomer said her ex-boyfriend Matt Damon said.
I just heard William Shatner perform lyrics for a song on the radio.
Was that the collaboration with Joe Jackson to cover that song from Pulp, 'Common People' (Mr Shatner, true to form, providing the parlando)? Just the combination of those artists alone is more than a little eerie, but I actually like the result. :coolcthul
Evening, folks.

I suspect so. I've found Mr. Shatner manages to be fairly amusing at times like this. His rap in Free Enterprise is not to everyone's taste, but I found it enjoyable.
Heh heh... "T. J. Hooker!" Heh.
Personal Skill has been removed from the list of approved non-core feats; its benefits are now available with Skill Focus after meeting certain prerequisites. The Shield Expertise feat has also been rewritten.
These changes in turn necessitate a few adjustments to the list of level trade-in options (none taken at this point, however), which I needed to review in a few other spots as well. Those changes will be coming soon.
As for the adjustments to character sheets this will entail, I'll get to those as time allows, though some might have to wait until your next level update.
Sorry for the mess. ;)
Oh and I'll be waiting for the adventure in the serwers to begin... just letting you know. :D
Dravenous did you get my PM about the items to be divided up?
I think. More testing will be necessary.
So, I know a lot of things have changed, anyone have any suggestions on where to start? Is the digest still up? I'll go have a look...
I will gather them IC starting tonight, and tomorrow.
Let me (us) know when we begin

I feel terrible...
Gee, folks, do I actually have to lock the threads to have a lockdown day? :P
Howdy folks. I just wanted to pop in and say that I have been able to secure a temporal distortion device which will allow me to squish the amount of time needed for RL things and allow me some time to start posting here again! :D
Share the device with me! Share the device with me!
Share the device with me! Share the device with me!
I'm kinda hungry. Could I have a tempural device, instead?
I figured I should ask before I go galavanting around the place.
Treetrip, good to meet you! Are you a new player or just a new character?
"You don't seem very evil. Though you could use more colors in
your clothes. You'd look better if you had a green cloak.
Green is a good color for artists. All that black makes you
look like one of those guys who hang out at the cemetary all
the time. My brother Kirby says that those guys are just
begging to be eaten by vampires... I know where you could get
a green cloak and maybe some red pants. No one looks evil in
red pants."

Thosar, lockdown is usually Monday. We'll have to examine the timing of the end-of-year lockdown as well.
In other news, two feats have been slightly modified again today. (Yes, I made a few oversights. I'm working on them.)
Skill Focus has been adjusted to prevent multi-class characters from exceeding the normal limit to the number of ranks allowed. I've also added a small perk that gives single class characters some additional benefit to taking the feat as well.
One small adjustment has been made to Dodge. Aramil is just going to have to settle for being able to get his AC up to 33 against giants. ;)
Here are the feats in question:
Dodge: The dodge bonus to AC may be applied to one additional opponent for every 3 points of the character's base Reflex save; fighters also add an additional opponent for every 5 class levels beyond 1st. A character with either 11 fighter levels or a +7 Reflex save increases the Dodge bonus to +2.
Skill Focus: In addition to its normal benefits, a character who spends 8 or more skill points in the selected skill treats it as a class skill for all classes, and all cross-class ranks purchased are retroactively converted into class ranks, unless this would bring your skill point total beyond the permitted limit (level +3) -- however, this limit improves to level +5 (rather than level +3) the level after a character has acquired 12 or more ranks in the skill. Furthermore, if the selected skill is a Craft skill, you may increase the rate of production by adding increments of +5 to the DC, rather than increments of +10.
Before people ask (and have to wait for a response), I've been up to working part-time (before the quarter started) and attending college full-time.
Aramil's AC. I think that's it, really, aside from a few levels here and there.
not funny... maybe a little funnyI meant to ask, "How are people?"
Seriously, though, busy, it would seem. We've got more than a few who never seem to sleep between one project/assignment/job and another.
Of course I'll have more in 2005, but whose counting?
Installs raised hand blender on OoC ceiling.
So NOW whose counting!
Hmmmm, now to get Treetrip into some mooooooooooore tribble.
...
trouble.
My finals aren't bad this semester but I know I'll make it up next semester. But I'm not going to think about that presently, I'll just enjoy the fresh air and sunlight.
Looks outside at the overcast, bleak sky.
Anyway I'm off to get Thosar out and about. It's been far too long.
The cashmere sweaters are half-off, the kids' longjohns are almost all sold out, same with hats & mittens...But that's okay! I had a wonderful surprise today and I am HAPPY!
concentrated evil....like orange juice
She's already been grumpy to Treetrip, but he's sure theres a fun loving gnome inside her somewhere, even if he has to dig it out with a pick-axe...
Ooooh, what a great concept for a horror movie. "I just want to bring the best out in people, I'm sure its in here somewhere" swings "well THATS certainly not the best in her. Squishy though."
Ok, maybe not such a good idea.
Try singing to Grack. That should result something.
Pfah! Singing? I, sir, am an orrator. I orrate very prestigious and uplifting orratory. I do not, as you so crassly put it, "sing."
:P
We've got more than a few who never seem to sleep between one project/assignment/job and another.
You don't say. *sighs*
Evening, folks. I'll be around for a little while.
I got busted by the cops!
You think it would be ok for the high school motion picture club to film a gangster movie behind Safeway. But whatever. He just pulled us aside and gave us a little speach. Made us stop useing the real baseball bat and stuff.
He used the word "capper" in a sentance too. It was so cool.
:D
P.S. I don't like skeletons...

It's a d12 calendar with RL dates. I'm thinking I can change the font of the months to more fantasy flavor and maybe put "GsC" somewhere. I just need 12 things to fill in the white space below the numbers. Pictures, photos, quotes, bits of IC text - any ideas?
It could take up to a week to get a reply, however, and maybe two to get things finalized. Life is feeling pretty swamped, especially at this time of year.

Now to see how I might be able to make use of it.
A Past-is-Present Analysis of Cross-border Single Step Intercultural Interaction and Multi-step Intracultural Responses During the Impressionist Movement

No, seriously, you need to get typing... that text won't write itself. And those impressionists... they're all smelly French.
Here's the
It is that time of year again, isn't it? Yes, all right, new character applications will be accepted starting today. I have two submissions already, and I'll start by completing my review of those first.

Yay! :D
You'll have three in a bit.:P
Ok. Understandable, all in all.
Finished with my character.:D
Has anyone noticed that their computer is booting up abnormally slowly? The college Computing Center (that's me!) has had complaints in from residents and techs that systems are starting very slowly. I've had the same problem myself. My system is locked up tighter than a doughnut shop at a police academy, but there's still something wrong.
If it's just us, that's fine too. Sorry to bother everyone.
On the off chance that this is a horrible horrible BBEG...

5 pages this morning. w00t. I need a cookie.

Here you go. ;)
Hope to post IC later, once Ishie takes a nap.
Good to hear.
I'm tired, probably going to bed soon. Somedays I really wish Boirin had those Goggles of Night.
On a completely different matter I realized that Boirin probably fights allot like the Prince from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within...
Lots of Jumping and Tumbling and filled with generic rage.
Good thing - no more literary analysis... for at least few months.
I finished my last final for this semester last night. Woot!
I'm off to Florida tomorrow for a friend's wedding so I probably won't be posting. Just FYI.
Good luck to all of those that are battling the finals demons!
Usually feels slightly random at this time of day. Continues to lurk around the boards.
Exams and finals are evil. Joy to those who finished.:D
Oh... my...

You forgot the 2964 at the bottom right corner.:P
Other than that, I get the same.

Death threats and reminders on napkins? Good going, Boirin. :P
Something like that Fish-head :P

All right, who in the world uses the kind of car alarm that goes off in a high wind with 8 different siren noises in Chicago?
The utterly clueless.
All right, who in the world uses the kind of car alarm that goes off in a high wind with 8 different siren noises in Chicago?
The same kind of people who design alarm systems to be more irritating than effective, actually. After the first dozen signals inside ten minutes, you just want to acknowledge the thing and ignore that to which it was designed to draw attention. And when you deal with this day after day for hours on end... oy.
And let me say that noisy printers attached to alarm systems don't help much with it either.
Nice picture, Maelut. The outfit matches the description well. Got any more sketches around?
I've passed your compliments along to Anna, the young lady responsible for the picture. That's the only picture I have at the moment, although one of my other friends intends to do a portfolio of D&D related stuff for her second-semester 2-d project. I'l gladly post those as and when they're available.
For those in my party feel free to NPC Boirin so he can stay up to speed. I'll be back on monday.
Sowwy.
Oh, well. If at first you don't succeed, try try again.:P Second concept done, sending E-mails to the GMs right about... *click click click* ...now.:D
:OMG! :bounce: Long story:
I just got an email. That email had words on it. Those words were composed into grammatical constructs to aid in comprehension. The concepts portrayed in those constructs ... oh, forget it.
Short story:
I was just accepted into a four-year research position with the Templeton project for the genetic sequencing of collared lizards in the Ozark mountain range during controlled forest fires.
Guys, this is the thing I want to do for the rest of my life. And as a college freshman, I have a position for four years working with the guy who pioneered it. I can't even begin to say how amazingly awesome this is.
I gues the genetics of the lizards may be important. But usto love going lizard hunnting in the yard.
Lucky Duck.
Congrats
Meanwhile, I want to share excerpts from a classmate's bio (edited to preserve some anonymity):
Graduated [university] in 91, went to [job elsewhere in country], had a baby. Moved back to [home, new job with same company], had a baby. Joined [another company], had a baby. Went to [yet another company], had a baby. I am now working very hard on not getting any more new jobs.
So, now you'll learn thousand and one ways to prepare lizard for dinner? :P
...
Well, have you got a better theory?
Three more posts in the Paperback thread today. There'd have been another eight on top of that, but the computer crashed and the disk I was saving things to glitched.
The threads will be locked down from the 23rd to the 30th of December. We will not be conducting a lockdown today, as you were all deprived of the boards for two days already, nor will there be a lockdown on the first Monday of January (though I suspect there will be a few new levellees at that time).
The good news is that the Party in the Halfling Quarter thread will be left open and all are welcome to post there. The sewer adventure with Omnimental and the Quest for Honor will also be open at that time. I cannot speak for the current skeleton/kobold fight, however, as I know this is an insanely busy time of year for Scheherazade.
I also hope to bring posting to the Paperback thread up to date this week and have the details of another adventure-by-e-mail thread started during the lockdown. Then there are a few corrections I must make elsewhere, with some streamlining to do backstage. I'm sure I won't get it all done, but it's going to be pretty quiet around here in the next few days, so I should be able to at least make a good sized dent in things.
Other things I have to remember: I've got to assemble the details of another event for Kywyn and ... it's well past time to prepare a rematch for which several of you have waited over a year (and a half). It's nearly time to return to Hents Manevelins.
Aside from that, there's one other adventure project, but I may have to farm that one out, even if it is a tempting scenario to run myself. Oh, my, but it's very tempting.
Anyway, back to work for a little bit, and then I'm heading out for the day. If you need to ask me any questions, I would suggest not waiting for me on IM, because I'm not sure how much I'll be around to check it for the next few days.
E-mail and PMs, on the other hand, tend to be checked two to three times a day.
P.S. *sigh* I always saw Kai in my mind as a hardcore stealthy ninja type beast who can destroy whole city with just a thought...instead he out in the forest throwing rocks at a bunch of skeleton...*sob*.oO( Too bad Cod-boy ain't around...then maybe Kai could use him as the club.

Eh, my notes & dice are at home, sorry!
I got back from Florida on Sunday night but yesterday was a mess. So here I am.
Kywyn, thanks for the patience, I have replied. Now to get me moving somewhere else, I think I failed last time...
Only two days until the lockdown though. Maybe I can cover some ground there.
Back to Hent Manevelins eh? Excellent!
I'll need to get me some rockets this time... and make sure to call in the air strike.

Put together a site for my GsC tarot cards side project. Thinking painted color cards would take too long, I went with simple sketched cards. Thanks to everyone who helped brainstorm and especially to Natala Cardreader for helping to pick characters for the cards.
Though... why on earth do I have a Cthulhu plushie on my head? :P

Cody the Cythulu plushi is to bring you tidings of dispair this doomed holiday season, right?

Boirin, the printable version actually has a full deck, but the minor arcana was just made using symbols.
Happily waits.
Do you have any Xboxs? No sold out (thinks about rolling eyes)
Do you have any PS2s? No sold out (thinks about shaking head in disbelief)
Do you have any Nintendo DSs? No sold out (thinks about laughing in their faces)
I get those three the most repeatedly day after day, and phone calls asking the same. What is worse is that their behavior is deteriating because of it. Not my fault that the manufacture has never met the demand at Christmas. Please we had them in abundance almost the previous eleven months get a life, Christmas will not be ruined because you can not get the items on their list. Should have given them guidelines when they wrote their lists. I had parents with lists that have nothing but the game systems and games. The sad part is that the children put dates on it and their parents are horrible procrastinators. [/Rant]
Ahhhh I feel much better now.

Cool, I've needed a new set for awhile.
I'll probably print it after I get a new load of ink however.
For those that missed ST's announcement a few days ago, we will be locking up most of the threads from the 23rd to the 30th to give people a break and to get some much needed time to plot and scheme behind the scenes.
A few threads will remain open. The adventure threads for one, and for a little while the Graveyard and Beyond the Walls. Please do not post in these unless you are already in them. The graveyard will only remain open long enough to get the players there into their adventure thread, and BTW to finish up the kobold battle.
The Party in the Halfling Quarter thread will remain open during the lockdown, and everyone is welcome to post into it. It's still a few days in the past. so those who are busy elsewhere won't be posting to places at once.
Sometime during the Lockdown there will be a wrestling contest in that thread that once again is open to everyone including out two newest members, Pacone and Culex. Everyone give them a warm welcome, and perhjaps some pie.
Feel free to Stop By Nobody's For a Wet Ale and Tasty Sausage (available in named Meat) after The Lockdown.

I can't lock Natala's Store, but Natala and Darkar may continue their interaction as they see fit.
Oh, and the image of Gilgiga needing an arquebus, rather than an abacus, to work out math problems amused me to no end. I assume that the confusion about the word was that of the half-orc, rather than the player?
Hello
Finished up my university applications and am heading out to Mexico.
Bye
Chris
So I decided for a cheap gun gag.
I doubt he even knows what an arcubus (arquebus) is. In truth I didn't until yesterday.

(edit: Had to use one of the new smilies)
It was bad enough that we were trying to get our inventory out of customs and into our warehouse so we could ship it in time for Christmas, but now our warehouse is shut down due to an ice storm. I spent my whole shift yesterday trying to placate upset customers.arquebus
Sees one word out of the sentence, as per usual.
Eep, arquebus. Those things are more smoke sticks than anything else. With those things it was a victory when one man went down from a volley of arquebus fire at extremely close range.
Seriously, I'm glad you were not in one of them, Darkar. I was, one year ago today, and together with the snow on the ground and slush on the roads here (I'm back in Arkansas, where they don't have equiment to clear the streets), is why I have not left the house today.
Farenheit.
Fortunately, it should warm up a few degrees by the time my weekend rolls around -- it's only expected to dip to -2 on Monday.
Stay safe, people of the world.
Quest Into The Scary Place That Isn't On This Particular Plane (TM).
In other news, I just came off three days of double shifts at the ER. We had a lot of very serious car accidents. Everyone, please drive safely this winter. I enjoy your company very much, and I don't want anything to happen to you. It's easy to get careless when the roads are bad, so just be careful.
A happy holiday season to everyone. Here's to a new year filled with the love of friends and family.
*raises a glass*
I will be going to work, rather than a tavern, but I assure you that I will walk carefully.
Even bundled up with a big hat and huge hood and long scarf.
Whew! That was one long adventure post. I hope it makes sense. I also managed to get one new character sheet posted: one more to go tonight and then three more to review as soon as I can.
But for now, I've got to log off and get ready for work. I also have to buy groceries in the morning, since I can't do my usual Saturday foraging. See you later.
Boirin that had to be one of the funniest things I've read in awhile.
Comming soon, Garic's The Musical!
*stumbles, grunts, falls face-down, deflates slowly with a long exhalation*
somebody forgot to eat his wheaties..... ;) :P
Maybe he had a long shoot today :D
And a Happy Holidays to all.
By the way, what are the Hents Mennevelis? Is it by any chance the so fammous Mountain Pass of Doom Where Many Jackals Fell In Battle Against A Blood Ogress?
The Jackals fell to a pair of Red Dragons, and some dwarf looking creatures that when damaged shared the damage with any in close proximity to it.
The Silver Sword faced the Blood Troll.
However it all happened at Hents Manaelvins.
But I've gotten used to it :DIs there any chance that that particular adventure was somehow recorded somewhere, so I can read?
and the stiched skin... *shiver*
Happy holidays guys, hope ya'll get lots of Ham.
...and turkey...
and baked paladine rolls...
...and paladin pie...yum!
Oh, it looks as though I should rejoin Garics here in about a month or so. Just got a computer and only need a modem and service to have access. Until then, peace...love...and may the swartz be with you.
Is there any chance that that particular adventure was somehow recorded somewhere, so I can read?
I do not remember if it was or not. Anyone else happen to know if Hent Manavelins was saved?
Mmmm....good dinner with all the fixings...and now I am the possesor of my first digital camera. It's playtime!
See you soon Garics.
*tips a hat to Darkar*
And now I've made a fool out of myself
Is there any chance that that particular adventure was somehow recorded somewhere, so I can read?
It was probably sent into oblivion! Where have you been? :P
I believe it was one of the few adventure threads we had to do in two parts, so there's a lot of reading, even though I did try to streamline a lot of the breaks between posts and such before I finally got tired and decided to save the rest as was.
I see Pacone has already joined the party :D
Happy holidays from this side of the atlantic :D

Argh. Awake for two hours after a ten hour sleep, and I need to go back to sleep again. I really hope this means I'll be better soon.
Hey guys! I'm new here. The mighty DM's are looking over my app right now (*crosses fingers*) but I thought I'd bop in and say hi and happy holidays.
Howdy.:D
As a sidenote, my posting is not as frequent as I like due to my job, which has a completely random schedule that doesn't mind making you work on Christmas and Christmas Eve. So, I'll post when I can. Right now, I'm just tired.

Me talk like that? With Grammar-Nazis from the midwest as parents?! Not on your life. Whenever I start my parents squelch it. I still get teased for saying pop instead of soda.

Character review continues. Several threads have been unlocked, as I don't know when I'll be able to get back to them tonight. A few more spells added to the house-ruled list on the Magic in Garic's City entry in Rules and Information: clairaudience/clairvoyance, command undead, daze and daze monster, eyebite, gate, the power word spells, and teleport, greater teleport, and teleportation circle. One of them still needs a tweak in the wording, however, and the last two entries may get mixed reviews.
More to do tonight. Rest now, however.

Hello again! We were wondering what happened with you -- I hope it's all turned out all right.
In any case, if you need help getting back into the swing of things, just say the word. Right now, I'm brain-wiped from a cold, but I'm sure we can figure things out eventually.
Yeah, sorry, adventure people. Brain is just tapped for posting. The body could carry me for miles right now (pausing for coughing fits), but I can't put together thoughts as well as I need to right now. It's amazing how much concentration it takes to put together a meal and remember to drink hot beverages. Good thing I made enough food to last the next week.
:bounce: That smilie is still scary.

YIPPEE!
Welcome back Anaya
Actually, I'm quite excited about it. Of course, the mother and I still haven't agreed on a name. She wants to give the baby her last name but she refuses to budge on the first name. Go figure.
If I had my way he'd have been born Marcus Antaeus. A very unique and handsome name if you ask me. But she didn't; she just rolled her eyes and said "No."
Anyway, I'm done ranting.
Ooooooo, a COOKIE!
YIPPEE!
Welcome back Anaya
Thankee Aramil :D
And speaking of babies, I never got a chance to post this in noise yesterday but my baby girl was born October 16th. She was 6lbs 13 ozs and about 21 inches long and I named mer Macayla Nicole. She kept my last name making her initials MNM :D
She is such a doll too.. sleeps through the night, hardly ever cries and just loves to smile and coo
Needless to say she is a very happy baby and I am a very lucky mom to have a baby girl that is soo good.I've babysat some nightmarish kids...and she is definately nothing like them.
And thats great to hear, I hope that you and your baby prosper for however long you life, and may that life be long and happy. :D
Enjoy :D

I've got some reviewing to do, including a character sheet I've been trying to finish with since last week. I've only got one post left to read; the wrestling matches were certainly interesting overall. Other than that, I have to see what I can do to move along four adventures soon.
But I'll start with the character sheet.
Yup, wasn't there, I believe.
Edited to something your character might know. Why do I remember you and Ivan being on a quest together? I swear there was one...
Oh well, I'm off until later.
Hello to all the new faces arouns here that I didn't say hi to before I left, thank you Hermy for being patient with me and Anaya? *Hug* congratulations! It's really good to hear that all is well.
And welcome back, Nat.
Hey everyone! Back from Mexico with a tan and without one of my bags. :D
Considering the big grin, I'm guessing it was the bag with his dirty socks. :P

Uh were you blindfolded when we were fighting the horde of undead and the ugly brawl in the basement in the undead keep? :P

...wish I could go to Mexico My mom just got back from puerto vajarta(sp?) a couple of weeks ago...she said the weather is wonderful there.
And to think I am in Cali and it has been raining for the past week since I got back..and it NEVER rains this much here
Mwuhahaha......
Sorry things didn't work out there Schez.
Good grief, but I'm just radiating heat tonight... hard to stay awake when your own system is making you drowsy. At least I've got ginger tea, though.
How I miss our Aria.
Mmmm, ginger tea, mmmmm.
...oh, okay, it's really snow-mixed-with-raining... But still, there is some visible accumulation on objects! Not on the ground, but there is still hope!
My snow melted and we're back to just cold rain!I'm hoping this is an indication that drought is behind us for a few years. I really don't like droughts.
Ah... good. I seem to be pretty clear-headed today. Once my brother heads out of town, I should be back on top of things again. See you all soon.
But first, it's off to work.
Not alot of time to complain
That I haven't been around this game
But now I'm back agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain.
[Jazzy Music Starts]
Chriiiistmas.
Was a-lot of fun, for, us
Partyin round the holidays
Gettin an given an being amazed
I got-to run a buisssssnes

[Jazy Music Fades Away]
Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa. er... Hoooooooo
Whats up?
Hey you two...stop messing with Kai's image.
URK!!! I just realized that I've been spelling peasent wrong this entire time...Sorry Schez.
Hallo, just wondering if my character has been up for consideration. I hope this is the right place to ask. :D
Hi, I'd guess the DMs are in the process of looking over the character.
You, apparently... floating up there in the clouds. So hiiigh.
*cue jazzy music*
I had match, but she had a light
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was theee sky
*end of my obligitory cake reffrence for the day*
I thought Monday's were lockdown days? Or did I miss an anouncement somewhere?:P
I don't recall seeing anything with your email address on it...
I'm pretty sure both Shatteredtower and Kneyejailb have sent responses to you about your subission. Didn't you get them? If not, then I'm sure they can be resent. If you did get them, we are waiting for a response from you. There were a few issues with your character that needed to be addressed.
(Oh, and I'm not here yet anyone waiting on me for anything. Thitysix hours of sleep in two days tends to wear me out. Must have a nap.)
*Glances around, confuzzled like*
I thought Monday's were lockdown days? Or did I miss an anouncement somewhere?:P
Monday is indeed a lockdown day, though it doesn't apply to adventure threads. I simply didn't have time to lock the threads yesterday.
This does not, however, mean that today was not a lockdown day.
I may need to post, "I'm not going to get a chance to lock the threads, but treat 'em as locked, you peoples," maybe? :P
An hour of hunting nets the ranger three scrawny hares. Returning to Blackstars camp Tensek finds the oldman huddled in front of the fire, a pair of socks on a stick over it. [color=green]"I like 'em toasty. You got a problem with that?"
As for Daleah, now that e-mail is straightened out, the process should move a lot more quickly. That leaves one more to take care of at the moment.
My posting was part of my adventure....So I didn't think it would be a problem. Sorry if it was a problem.
Yeah, I think you're clear on that one. ;)
Hey everyone! Back from Mexico with a tan and without one of my bags. :D
Stolen, or lost? Wouldn't it be ironic that the thief got one of his bags stolen? ;)
Hello to all the new faces arouns here that I didn't say hi to before I left
Hi!
By the way, I'm back to normal activity, I've seen threads are unlocked, so I can start strolling around the city.
:DHave a happy new year people

If you can read this, I did it right.

This is a spoiler test.
Test test test. And this is a superscript test. Test test test.
I believe the subscript makes the text lower than the rest of the text. *Posts to see*
Yep. Superscript also raises the text above the rest of the text.
I'm still a bit behind. I didn't realize that my work week was going to be two days longer this week. I have tomorrow off, thankfully.
I'm so going to need it. From the sound of things, there's a blizzard coming in tonight, with heavy winds and temperatures that we normally don't get without wind chill -- and that's before the wind chill.
I think I'll be wearing a scarf tonight.
And the big hat.
And other layers, yes.
Show
but it didn't do what I was looking for.
Usually, this means that my computer simply needs a break -- I did forget to shut her down before I went to bed last night, so that's probably not surprising. I'm going to go out and get some exercise (wish me luck with Across the Nightmare [Oni]) and some groceries, then come back and try to get a few more things done.
At least I was able to finally catch up on the reading. Well worth it too. The rest of the backlog is going to take me quite awhile, but I'm pretty sure you've all come to expect me to say that by now.
Glad to er... read you're better, ST.
Tyros is back, also. Lady Dyer's gonna be full of him by the end of the first week of teaching him. But then again, I spell and grammify poorly.
Welcome back, Treep, wherever you had lost yourself.
weeeee...three day weekend!!!!
I have a six day weekend..... I call it a vacation. :P

I have a six day weekend..... I call it a vacation. :P
I have nothing. :P
nice...I will be out for the night in about 20 minutes. I have a basketball game to sing at, dinner and some cosmic bowling.
laterz
oooo cosmic bowling...... nice.
I've heard of stellar pool (Red Dwarf was so much fun at times), but what is this cosmic bowling?
much like regular bowling, but the alleys are darkened, blacklit, possible fog machines, disco balls, flashing lights, neon, loud music. it is fun, but too difficult for me to bowl well.
As the guy with the most Scottish ancestry, I got to take a ribbing for having the worst score, but my ancestors were from little islands in the Irish sea.
We also went bowling there. I lost at that too, but did okay when we played with the wrong hand. However, if you are hearing a reference from The Princess Bride, you're mistaken -- I am, in fact, left-handed. :P
Is uber cool.
At least it puts me in the right mood for planning out adventures...
And no I wasn't nekked Cod Fish.
Yay FRANDELLA!!!!!
Hallo, I'm new.
Good to see you, and I see you're a hyperliteralist now too.
Good to see you, and I see you're a hyperliteralist now too.
Thanx!
I think! ;)It's also going to be a long night. My relief is going to be two hours late tomorrow.
Played two games of bowling when I was visiting the gf in Pennsylvania. She seems to have regained her bowling mojo, because overall I got stomped.
Hey, you should have told me that you were commin down sooner, I could have went and bowled with you guys :P
Only the uber cool are left handed. Everyone else is normal cool.
Is uber cool.
Is the most unuberest coolest person :D
Luckly, it's open this weekend.
Hopefully it doesn't explode. *cross fingers*
Rest and planning what my PC will do if anything for the next week.Nevertheless, he is a wonderful gift and beautiful in every way. He even has a birthmark on his tush! How cute is that?? ;)
but I wasn't expecting this for another 3 weeks (she was due February 2nd)
Babys born on time are mythological creatures ;)
Congratulations. You, sir, have a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is because doctors do this thing called practice...... Seriously that one word fails to inspire confidence in me.

My son was born on his due date. (Okay, yeah, he was induced -- preeclampsia. :P ) My daughter was just a couple of days early.
And speaking of my kids, I'm taking them out to a concert now. Ciao!
ConRats.
Only Lowlife had the ability to con rats, but he decided to make them his friends instead.
On a different note these new smilies that came with the upgrade really suck.
:D ;) :embarrass Congrats Than.
bug me too, but the old ones are still there. You just gotta open the menu.At least I still got :P
I'm game for your little endeavour, as long as I'm not the bait :D
Maybe I should ask Kai to do the kissing then..... ;) :P
Ok, So Boirin called me to say that his comp is out of commsion. so do what you will.
Freezes time.
Puts boirin in pink frilly dress, takes away his crossbow and replaces it with a squirt gun in the sewers.
And action......

indeed.But a bag of holding is something that can benefit the entire guild rather then just one member.
Arics armor on the otherhand would be nice for plenty of members. Shadow chain is nothing to scoff at. But it is not guild property so the guild discount doesn't work on purchasing it. You could purchase it from Aric (Or his represenative Volos) but you would have to pay at least half the marketprice for it. Still not a bad deal for someone that can afford it.
Hopefully you'll find something on your adventure so Volos will have more to dust. ;)
I'm afraid he'll ruin his dress
Makes a note, Cassius will not be kissing any undead to distract the bad guys.
Maybe I should ask Kai to do the kissing then..... ;) :P
*coughs* I don't think Kai will be doing any kissing any time soon...but maybe if Lucian joins our little party he could do the honors...his character seems to be into that sort of thing. :D
Off to my classes, I'll be back this evening.
When did you start taking classes Miriellazade?
When did you start taking classes Miriellazade?
I started taking Tai Chi in ... August? And right now I'm going to part 2 of a 3-part weaving class. (Just came home to deposit some groceries in the fridge.)
test
so does it work?
Is it underwater basket weaving class?:P
No, though I did take a basket weaving class there, this is fabric weaving. I threaded the heddles today, and finally got to the actual weaving part! :D Setting up the loom takes a looong time!
Looks like Anaya's spyin on you Darkar.
Everyone spies on me, the evil spies just end up dead is all....
Oh wait RL does not count. :Psings:"Put one foot in front of the other/And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor..."
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
:P
Really, it's up to you & your character concept. Most people start in Beyond the Walls and enter the city. My character was in the city already, and started by walking into the Hightower.
OK, so I've got a Stupid Newbie Question. Once I'm officially part of GsC (when I'm added to the Character Information Thread, I'm guessing) how do I.... erm, you know... start? Do I just post at the Last Lich or Nobody's Inn? Or is there a formal way to "enter the city"?
You were officially part of the game from the moment that I added Thanatis to the Census, but you might have overlooked that detail in the reply I sent you over a week ago, what with being busy and all. The character sheet will go up once I've sorted a few things out.
The other questions were answered by Scheherazade.
Hmmm well it appears that my power supply gave up the ghost. Grr, I replaced it but this is the first time I've been able to get online in a bit.
*grumbles and goes to see if his character has managed to get himself killed*
I'm off in twenty minutes to a class. (Yes, Treetrip, another class, this one on Parenting With Spirituality.)
Understandably, since we're supposed to be... working....
:DI can't really grasp that concept... work? What's that? :P
Well I think it's something that you go to, waste time, then earn a pay check every couple weeks. Really pointless if you ask me ;)
Anyways i'll be around for most, if not all, of the day due to the snow storm that we have right now :D
Mmmmmmmm..... soup taste so good when your inside on a cold day :D
Well, I got through two pages...I'm sorry to inform you that the product you ordered from us cannot be delivered to you because our entire stock was eaten yesterday by one of my co-workers who happened to be hungry then. We're taking measures to regain the lost clothes from her, but I'm afraid they will be quite ruined after we dig them out."
Is it safe to assume that it would be ok for Lucian R to come along with Darkars group?
Hey, Jace, I'll betcha Darkar knows the answer! :P
One of our funniest customer anecdotes involves a sock, a Labrador Retriever, and the fact that the customer was willing to wash the sock and use it afterwards...
I think it would be safest to let that pass without comment.
Working afternoons again... going to take a little bit of getting used to, but it will be nice to get some sleep this evening. :D First, however... got to check in on the fate of the sewer team -- bad, bad things tend to happen to people who go down there...
:P
He did well. With luck, he'll get a chance to top that sometime in the future, but he's had a pretty good career: one-on-one with a troll, this thing, the first major battle in the undead keep, a hydra skeleton beneath the LLI, keeping the Horde from getting themselves killed in a haunted house...
To his triumphs! If he lives, to victories yet to come; if he falls, to those that might have been.

:POh, I knew him well.... I reme... oh, he's not gone yet
Let him live....
Pretty please?
err, and, good luck Aramil!
Now I just have to get those posted to Character Information soon.
nice pics
:D I am down to 200 lbs!!! :D It is working yes! My plan to slowly losing the weight by chaning my eating habits and what I eat is working great! I wish I was getting a little bit more exercise sometimes, but I am still proud of myself. This is now down 24 lbs from when I started a year ago? (I think not really sure) I am now a little over half way to the target goal that the doctor wanted me to reach.
Congratz Dark! In my case Im trying to gain weight :D Lets see now...Im at 224 lbs now. I'm bulking up for college football, ive got a year and a half left the in the NAVY, as soon as I get out, im going to tryout for UNLV as a red shirt.
The average Linebacker stats are pretty hard to achieve. Im positive I can get the strength but i need to work on speed. *sigh* Im already down on the height, I think it was supposed to be 6'3" im 6'1". I'll let you guys know when I hit 350lbs on the bench press. .oO(Just another 70lbs and Im there!!)I'm trying to get myself out of the house to work a bit earlier each day by promising myself one to three rounds of DDR first. So far, I've managed it on only one day in two, but the idea seems sound enough, since the arcade is about twice the distance it is from work to home, doubling my overall walk for the day as well as getting me a minor workout. I need to get a bit more muscle on my thighs and this ought to help me keep my own weight a bit more stable. Walking is good for that.
Then again, a few more rounds of stomp on In the Groove might help as well. Playing two minute songs and having to hop on two feat for each step works different muscles. Hmmm... now I wonder if having to hit four arrows at the same time will give my arms a good workout too?
Anyway, enough about me. Best of luck to the two of you.
Two that come to mind as altered are the monk's Heart of Fire/Ice/the Storm (giving an either/or choice and slightly improving the potential of the base ability) and Overwhelming Power (applying it to critical hit benefits rather than Power Attack). They weren't the only two to be adjusted, however, but they may have been the ones most significantly changed.
I'll be adding one more item to that list within a few weeks, but will otherwise be leaving it as is, unless I find ways to make the wording of some of the larger entries more concise.
Just got back from a weekend of skiing. I managed to keep up with the fast group without pain!
Thanks for waiting for me. And yes Jace, I'm game if everybody else is.
*Smiles at the look on Lucians face.*
I thought I might start playing with a accent for Jace....Very light Irish. tell me what you all think.
Oi think ya moight wanna be careful. Oi accidently start wroitin loike this forely often. It's not much of a problem 'ere but when Oi do it at work... :P
Thanks, Tyros! I'm at work right now, though, and IMs are Expressly and Severely Forbidden, here...
Understandably, since we're supposed to be... working....
oh, yeah, working at work...
I can't really grasp that concept... work? What's that? :P
Well I think it's something that you go to, waste time, then earn a pay check every couple weeks. Really pointless if you ask me ;)
*Feels at home
The sketches are awesome, AWESOME I say!! ;)
They are clearly conspiring so that Darkar is sending his lost weight to Kai. By mail. In parcels. That stink. Like pigsty. And lard.
On elven fighter/rogues... they are going on a mission together! End times are nigh! Only the repentant will be saved! When the evil and formerly evil elf are united nothing good can come out of it. Save yourselves! Follow the righteous path! Don't listen to the union of brawly elves! Uhh? Feeling the urge to be theurge?
The other issue is whether or not it might be irritating. We've had a few that were easy enough to understand, but still got under people's skin.
A degree of restraint helps. I don't hear a Scottish accent in Aramil; I hear Aramil, someone whose first language is Dwarven and who doesn't sound out the "oo" in "you" or the "th" in "brother." Another example is Boirin, who uses some words differently than anyone else.
There's also the Culex method, yes there is. That affectation goes a long way. It may come across as a gimmick, but there's realism to it. Consider the people who, like, have trouble, like, expressing themselves without, like, adding filler words into their speaking patterns, or the ones that end every sentence with "okay?", "y'know?", "eh?" or "right?"
I think you might be okay with the idea you have in mind as long as what Jace is saying can be comprehended by other players without undue strain. ;)
Jace... I have to second Shatteredtower's encouragement to moderation. I'm finding myself 'skimming' your posts because of the accent. Could you just pick a few 'key' words to write in 'accent'? Thanks!

roight...Dats no problm lassie, Oi Cin du dat fer yea.
Translation:
Sure thing.
Whew that was a close call for Aramil down there... bit more of actually breathing and he might have died. Thank's Kywyn for the ingenious idea of actually freezing him in space. :D
And now you are trying to freeze him? Cunning hand-and-halves.
What did you actually want Aramil to die?
I think you might be okay with the idea you have in mind as long as what Jace is saying can be comprehended by other players without undue strain. ;)
Ex. 1 the Satyr that I attacked becuase I couldn't understand what it was saying.
That's gonna haunt me for the rest of my carrier I just know it.
But I'll aggre at least in writeing, it's far better to hint at accents then to make it imposible to read, or add in some words every now and then that are just a bit off.
Like lesser versions of Cokney Rhyming Slang, or Boirin's RL usage of the word "Cupcakes"
In other words word usage is stronger then spelling.
Just a little afterthough.
*hugs and fondles pic* Yay for half-elves, durnit. :P
Anyway, I'm debating whether to take Than to the SSAG first, or to the Inn first, or have him do Guard Duty for awhile. Hmmmmm....
I've still got another four hours left before I get home, but I've got time for this.
I'm also working on a long overdue rematch. I hope Gamis will be around for this -- and Aria, if at all possible. Even if they don't make it, though, I know that more than a few of you have been waiting for this one for over a year now...
I can't promise that we won't have to wait until the two year mark and this summer, but I'll see what I can do. All I can say is that I'm still preparing and I'll do what I can to make it as worth the wait as possible.
Oh, and if you weren't around for this event, don't worry -- those who were may yet need all of the help they can get.
:evillaugh
And since it took you this long to ask, I don't think we can really call it impatience. ;)
But, no, that wasn't the primary objective.
If any of you have any concerns with the sheets, let me know. Pay especially close attention when I update the sheets again, because I've been known to overlook things before. ;)
"Thanatis' beard!" Sounds like it would make a decent oath, doesn't it? I guess you're going to have to get famous around these parts, "Chance", so we can find out. :P
For now, however, I need to get out of the house. It's been a long morning.
"Thanatis' beard!" Sounds like it would make a decent oath, doesn't it?
What I want does not concern you.
But, no, that wasn't the primary objective.

Glad to see you're still alive so far, Air Mail. ;)
And Darkar, thank you for your overwhelming patience during our conversation in NMS. I'm making a deliberate effort to post more often now, and I think it's working. Your own effort is part of what's convinced me that's worthwhile.

I believe it has something to do with an automobile designed for carrying a lot of passengers, that when in it's mini version is often found at soccer games, and walls that hold back the water to provent flooding, this can occasionally be improved upon by sticking a finger in them.

You are welcome Natala, recently I have felt if I do not make effort to be patient, I do not enjoy things as much. So with patience as a focus I find that I am having better days at work, and I am enjoying things more. Perhaps I am starting to get old or something...... :P

I got your e-mail, by the way. Responding to it is on my priority list for tonight, but I've got something work-related to tackle as well, so it might have to wait until Friday. I'll still attempt to have it ready for the morning, though.
Should we post in the advetnure thread as if it were Natala's shop, or shall we move to that thread until the matter is settled? Thanks, just want to be clear on where to 'play'
Now if that headache would go away, I might be able to think straight...Well I'm stuck at home today, on account of weather. Rain in fact, flooded streets and such.
I'm gonna make a break for it later.
If there simply hasn't been a response because the DM's are very busy (as is likely the case), please accept my apology and disregard this message.
Oh, and yay for limp carrots. :D
I've found it saves time and alot of frustrationin the long run.
Hope I wrote that right, I think I caught Schehereazade's cold and it's messing with me brain.
Sets things up? I'm not sure what you mean exactly.
Something along the lines of an email or PM or IM saying, "Hi, I want to send my character to the Guardhouse to look for a job. Could I have a DM to run the clerk and get me going with that?"
That really helps a lot -- especially when the site unexpectedly logs me out and then shows all the threads as 'read' when I log back in... I miss a lot of posts that way!
Worse yet, I have a nagging feeling I've overlooked someone. Two someones, actually -- sorry about that, Thanatis. I saw the post and meant to respond, but just got distracted by a number of other tasks, which... well, I've mentioned them already, haven't I? Yes, it's definitely time for some fresh air.
I'd stay up and post now, this being my first opportunity to post; but it's past 2 am here, I have to get up in the morning, and if I don't get some sleep, I'll regret it. The good news is that I should be able to post tomorrow, in the evening-ish.
I hope everyone's doing well around here, I'm a bit out of touch.
Sorry to those I'm keeping waiting. Truly. This has been a monumentally long day, compounded by having my second cold in as many weeks. Not a bad day, just a long one that didn't leave time for posting.

Heh, I was expecting something as much happening to you. Well anyways, take your time, you don't have to rush to post given your circumstances. I'm sure our group can wait. :D
I'll be lurking most of the day probably. But if you need me, just IM me. ;)
I'll be at work this afternoon, but I will continue to update a few things from there. First priority, however, is the reply to an e-mail from Kywyn.
To all waiting on me to finish that big post... I'm gonna need some time.
Sorry to hear that Gamis.
To all waiting on me to finish that big post... I'm gonna need some time.
For the first part, my condolences.
For the second... I really, strongly urge you to consider breaking this post of yours up. The longer it is, the harder it becomes to ever submit anything. I realize you'll need some time before you return to the saddle, but please think about taking things in more manageable steps, okay?
If it helps, throw what you've already got my way when you're ready to start working on things again and I'll see what we can do to make this a bit less monumental for you. (Also keep in mind that the biggest risk of a large post is that if it's large enough, a lot of people won't read it. I speak from personal experience of having written more than a few of those. ;))

I've had a post 1/2 written for 12 hours or more. I'd like to finish it now, but I don't think the sleep zombie is an appropriate person to do so. G'night, all. I'll post tomorrow.
UUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG, PILLLLLLOWWWW, UUUNNNNGGGG
That was a lot of fun to read (and respond to) while I was finishing up my latest post.I have my next post or two at least partially written, dependent upon your responses — and I have die rolls to go with them, courtesy of ST. All of which should allow me to post faster for at least a while, especially since I have no more class until Saturday.
Darkar, Anaya, Culex... I'll get to each of you in turn, as soon as I can manage it.
Productive day I've had today, all around. Taught two people to knit (at separate times, no less), read 80 pages of a text on financial planning, went to my first CFP class, and posted here, on top of most of my usual babycare duties.

Go ahead and take your time, Natala.
I don't mind. It's an interesting read, so I'm happy.:DSche, just out of curiosity, what would you've done if you'd had MM at hand while acting as receptionist?;)
Perhaps wish she was a Summoner for the briefest of moments as she thwapped random passerby, because they were random and they were passing by?:P
Sche, just out of curiosity, what would you've done if you'd had MM at hand while acting as receptionist? ;)
Not hardly... There are two places I could possibly be tapped for backup duty, Receptionist and retail store. Both of which have dress & behavior standards that I don't have to deal with in Customer Service. Which means no blatant goofing off. :P
Ok, it wasn't that bad. But phase one of the Accademic Decathalon is done.
Essay and speaches, wee.
In truth I think I used more direct Issac Asimov quotes on "Why do we study astronomy" than in my Essay on Foundation for English.
Still kicking myself for not going into the cliché about humanity needing to become a peacfull people first.
Rodenberry and Asimov will kick me if there is an after life.
Now the fun part, jumbo tests on the econmoics of anchent nations.
w00+
.... Now I have about a hour....no a half hour to sit and unwind.....then I sleep. I hope I have fun dreams, hopefuly the icecream will help....butter brickel with some apple tarts....When I was serving myself some I ended up putting my first scoop in my water glass and stared at in in wonder. took about 4 seconds for me to realize what it was tha tI had done, and what to do to fix it..... Now I sit here. I have to look at my key board to type.........haven't had to do that since 9th grade. I hope to take the rest of my time sitting enjoying my ice cream and staring blankly at my computr screen...BTW does your shop carry sunrods?
Enough people request sunrods that I think it's reasonable to assume Tynk has some made to keep in stock. I think he even posted to that effect some time ago, though I haven't and probably won't check on that.
Real life has, once again, decided to shake my hand with one hand and chop-suey slap me with the other. I have now moved into my very own place (er, sort of--I have roommates) from my sister's house. Hooray! One step closer to being a productive member of society!
This has the inevitable downside, of course, as all things in life do. My new place has no internet access--not that it would do me any good anyway, since I was using my sister's computer to get online. My own computer is so old, I'd die of shock if it could handle a 14k modem. I can't even load Starcraft on the stupid thing. (The computer might or might not actually meet the minimum system requirements, but there's one fundamental issue: MY COMPUTER HAS NO CD-ROM DRIVE!! Sigh.)
So, this means I am once again religated to posting at the local library, some forty minutes away (I take the bus to get here). I don't mind the trip, but the time it consumes means I can only make it here 2-3 times per week, at most. This will continue for at least a few weeks (I'd like to say 4 maximum, but I'd also like a million dollars and there's about an equal chance of either one ever happening :D) until I have enough money saved up to buy a simple run-of-the-mill-not-twenty-years-old computer. Then I have to make sure I can afford the internet connection; but by the time I have the comp, I don't think that'll be an issue.
Sorry to the DM's for the inconvenience. At least I'm not interacting with any PC's right now, so I'm not inconveniencing anyone else.
On a side note: Little Parker is now up to 8lbs, 11 1/4 oz! Sarah (that's the mom) says he's very chubby and very healthy. He's eating like a horse, too. That's mah boy! :D I'll also be able to go down every other weekend now to see him! A coworker owns property down in her area and goes every other weekend to stay for a day or two, so I'll be able to see my little PJ.
Anyway, that's it for updates on the fascinating and utterly enthralling life story of Deimos Phenom. Further updates as events warrant. :P
On second thought, I'll wait until I know how Darkar wants to proceed. It's his show, after all.
before I start getting happy B Days, it not my birthday yet. And as for posting in the Eastern Front, I will be around until 5:45 tehn I will be gone for the night until LATE. I will be around palying with my new toy so if ya need me let me know. I'm anxiously waiting to hear how she is. Very sweet dog, and I have a soft spot for dachshunds. Okay, I have a soft spot for any critter that gazes at me adoringly and snuggles up :P
But seriously, poor little doggy.
I did my interview for Aca Daca, monday and my essay on tuesday.
Gil and I did ours yesterday, I got to be cannonfodder this year since I didn't make the team. We go for other tests on Saturday as well, good luck and hope to see you at state. :D
Sewer Rats:
Just wanted to let you all know, Ulerian is left NMS for the same reasons we all need, rest and a bath. I hope we can speed play the three days and return quickly, but if anyone has troubles posting or wants to play out any specific events fee free.
Thanks for the good play thus far.
I'm making progress with that, if only I could remember how to get from where I'm stuck into the Repulse Monkey sequence...
Whoa!! Hey!! I think Repulsing the Monkey is against the CoC :P
*hides*
:D I think she does :D
Kywyn!! He touched me!!*hides*
I have peasant dirt! Get it off! Get it off! :embarrass
Um.. Thanks, I think. Could you have waited til I was done scrubbing though??
.oO(Is it possible to paint explosive runes on the inside of someone's eyelids and somehow get him to read them?... Er... wet... shirt... runes.. revenge... take out on... world.. shirt...) Everyone gets stuck on Step back and Repulse the Monkey. Its kind of like, well, I don't know. But every one gets caught up on it so no big deal. Maybe Kywyn has some advice on it too. Its just been too long for me to remember much.
Would have to figure out if Schez's form is from a certain style or a modified hybrid. I'm primarily Chen style, so a 'repulse the monkey' type move wouldn't be the same for me as it would for a Yang stylist.
One thing to look for is how they teach you to form a hook hand. If the fingers are all touching in a point/beak, it's more Yang, while a Chen hook is rounded to form a circle. (some comparison photos: http://www.alltaichi.com/tai_chi_movements.htm)
Maybe this page could help for a Yang style set (if the sequence looks familiar, Miri): http://www.geocities.com/ottawakungfu/200TaiChi004C.htm
:runs to Kywyn:
Kywynie-bear... :points out Tyros: He touched me... :points out Cod: He poured water on me. :pouts and gives innocent puppy eyes:
Hopefully our last partymembers will get to the adventure thread soon. I'm going to have an out-of-town guest in 50 days, and DMing during his visit will be the last thing on my mind! :D

That'd be interesting to find out, Miri.
Right, what was on the books for today again? Let's see here... drenched paladin contest...
Nearly done with that adventure, I think -- and Lucian appears to have survived mad brick-laying at its worst! :P
So, in other words... you are gullible.
I wonder what the CR would be for a cross between a seabird and a bovine...

Lucky for him there wasn't a cask of Amontillado in that cave. :P
Alrighty, it's official, it's Yang style.
I'll be trying to see what I can salvage and rigging up the best system I can with what I have left tonight so I won't be around much, if at all. I have evening class tomorrow, but other than that I should be here then though. See you around, folks. Have fun. I'll be trying to see what I can salvage and rigging up the best system I can with what I have left...
He can rebuild it... he has the technology... to make it... better... stronger... faster...
Ran is... The Six Million Dollar Monk.
... Hopefully, however, the actual project in question will prove a lot less expensive.
And now, I'm off to work. Tomorrow, however, is DDR Day, which means taking one more crack at the Onis where are "Across the Nightmare" and "Daikenkai". I'm beginning to wonder if I'll pass "Max 300" before those two, though...
Tomorrow's news: "Belgium has been overtaken by a computer which gained sentience after it's owner had tinkered with it."
Actually its been run by his coputer for years. Their sudden burst of free will fried some of the mind control components, and thusly he needs to repair post haste.
Such is the cost of an endless supply of waffles and chocolate.
ST I sent you an e-mail. ^^
Mike?
I hate it when I make my SciFi refrences to obscure. Wasn't Mike the name of the AI in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
Incidentally, I check my e-mail before I check the boards, so any message to that effect here is always too late. :P
First comes the solid thud of the arrow hitting, then the sounds of the old mans scream as he falls to the ground.
Oh, that doesn't sound good...
and ow.

Acid pellet...?
*removes helmet momentarily to make sure there is nothing resembling a bull's-eye and re-dons it*
"The girl... it can't be her... she's too old... or is that me?"
He stares harder.
I'M NOT OLD!!
:P*flees before Shae goes all
:headexplo :coolcthul and I will be *:evillaugh
Don't make me come over there and slap each one of you. :P
Oh wait the three feet of snow and -20 degree weather will stop you.
:evillaugh
but I must admit, I sort of miss it :surrender
Well I guess we learned the real reason Gilgiga's a loner at least.
Although unless I'm asleep out or watching a movie/TV I'm usually online. :P
Well not the vauge detales about work
Hmmm the details are vague aren't they. ^_^
Morning, folks. I'm off to work on my day-job Doomsday project in a minute. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. ;)
