That new OOC thread since the last one was nearing 1,000 posts!!!

Roger that!!

Yay, a new thread to play in 😀

Hope you all have a really good evening with a Successful and Happy New Year.

TY, well said, you too, and all others that read this!

In reply to Rena Shae Karis (msg # 5):

And a Happy New Year to you all too.

Happy Newyear!..i'll be  back  after the Ball drops  some time.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year all!!!!

In reply to Diana (msg # 9):

Well, Happy post New Year  to all.

123 exp to all too just because I am a crazy DM.

I'll get new postings this week as the world turns with all my children.

Ha! TY, and the same to you

Is fine, but better would to ask us what we do at this point.

======OOC What we do here will be hugely be affected by distance,
 e.g. if orcs leap out 200 yards away then I'm not going to wave a sword around until they get close enough to stab. But if orcs leap out 10 feet away then I'm not going to try shooting them with a bow.
What I do depends upon distance, assuming they aren't orcs with teleporting abilities.

======OOC Exactly the same thing.. need a distance. Please.

So, Rena could use ranged weapon, melee weapon or spell. All dependent upon distance (of both orcs and goblins. If you provide those distances then I will state actions immediately and then for the follow up round. Thanks.

In reply to Rena Shae Karis (msg # 12):

Most rounds if someone is moving normal speed is up to 30'/yards. though someone could be as close as 10'/yards to start the round away from you.
If running, 60'/yards away.  give or take
If in Melee it is no more then 5'/yard away as they move in combat
I assume any spell cast with an area of affect is cast in such a way to avoid hitting the group of course there are DM rolls to see how well that is done.   Range is taken into account when the init vs movement happens so you could cast a ranged spell with area affect and still miss someone by chance.
Indoor movement can be as tricky as outdoor depending on the terrain you have to move through.
I hope that helps.

But I am only human and not an Elf or Dwarf in measurements indoors or out so I will be off at times unless it is hand grenades' or horseshoes.

It's not a trick or anything, just figuring out what Rena would do under the tactical situation that she sees/saw when the encounter started.
It's my job to state what she attempts to do but it has to be based on a description that includes the foes' distances.
Without knowing distance I might say "Rena casts magic missile" and you reply "out of range".
Normal combat speed is 12" = 120'/r = 12'/segment.

When we saw the orc group how far away were they?
When we saw the goblin group how far away were they?

***
Just seen the main post, Here we go:
Autosurprise, fine, but why not tell us roughtly how far away the arrows seemed to appear (even if it's to the nearest 100'). Could give us clues as to how many groups we're dealing with.

We're no longer surprised, good, but shouldn't we roll init at this point rather than orcs auto winning that too?
Orcs north, fine, how far? Doesn't have to be accurate, "About 50 feet away" is fine. We need to know this so that if we win init will cwertain of our spells be within range or not. Same thing for the goblins.
Some orcs are closer than others is kind of helpul but not very. Unless they're marching in a single row that's always the case. Some will be here this round, is a lot better, thank you, but how about the other? Next round? Or are they still a few hundred yards away. If you say "they will arrive next round, then that commits their action. Much more flexible to say something like "They seem to move at about 90'/round and about 6 are about 80' away. Maybe another half dozen are about 150' away." We can make whatever assumptions we like; it's just decribing what we see, which is important and straight forward. It also doesn't commit the orcs' actions for next round.

I may assume that but maybe not. That's my job.

I'm really not meaning to be difficult at all, just trying to say "Please tell me what I see, including approx tactical distances, and then I can get on with it without having to make layered conditional statements.

=======
Afterthought: I think Gygax used to use something like 5d6 x10' for random encounter distance.

Hey everyone

Starting Tuesday will be in Disney World for a week.  From the 7th to the 15th.

SO feel free to NPC Diana.

@ Bree - Rena has already switched to longsword and has already (msg #429) had a swing at orc #7. It would be very obvious.

In reply to Diana (msg # 15):

Hugs for what you put in the other OOC

In reply to Diana (msg # 15):

Yeah, from me too. Hugs that is not going to Disneyland

Thanks guys!

It's hard to believe that come Easter, it will be a year. (Holy shit!  Where did the time go!) Since she had her slip and fall and went to the hospital.

This trip is the perfect way to just get away, and let things go for a week.  :)

I still feel so bad when I go to see her.  I really want to just cry, and afterwards feel so damned depressed!  But our visits make her day, to have to suck it up and deal.  :)

What's so really hard is knowing what she was like and what she is like now.  Just absolute night and day.  :(

But, (slapping self in the back of the head!) on to better things!  :):)

So, in 48 hours, the plane will have taken off (1130 pm) and our 7 hour flight will have began!

Yahoo!!!!!!

Disney World here we come!!!!!

In reply to Diana (msg # 19):

Diana, you visit, take the time and enjoy her as you can - good show.

Ah WDW, a place of magic in all regards.
Daughter works there and sees all sorts.
Have a grand old time, enjoy yourself and post as you can like this poor DM does.  today I am off so I hope to get the next postings in.

In reply to GM (msg # 20):




Take the Skyliner's to Epcot and Hollywood.  Its a more convenient transportation and can be quicker plus it gives you another view of the places.   There are 4 parks, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Epcot with each taking a day to do if not more.  Genie and Genie + will help just make sure to read up on all the neat tricks.  I believe There is only 1 water park open right now but they do close them if temps are too low and universal is another whole word plus I think there is three/incl water park.  With the express tickets you can do all hope in a day per park.    Gradian of the Galaxy in Epcot you need to do but have to make early morning reservations for.  Magic Kingdom, if you are not into any of the parades or fireworks, jumping on seven dwarves mine train, space mountain, maybe peter pan.  When the parks are about to close or close to it they keep the wait times higher then they actually are so if you missed a ride you want to jump on fear not the cast members do not want to stay late and notorious to bump the wait times to help guests to leave park  lol.  Animal kingdom is a morning park, closes early so pick that as a day where you would be burning out by diner and need the rest and not push yourself in a park.   Dining you have to jump on as soon as you can to get any reservation.   Sigh I could go on a bit more as my wife the travel agent knows more.   Hope you got some type of trip protection and are using someone like a travel agent to help you navigate your vacation to the best it can be.

In reply to GM (msg # 21):

My Father lives in Florida and residents of that state get cheaper tickets for the Disney place there, so was kind of obvious that we went the first time I visited him there.  Did Kennedy Space Centre too as it isn't all that far away from each other (or appeared to not be) although can't do in same day (for obvious size of parks reasons).

GM, get back to resting and leave Diana alone, she has her rest to build on so she doesn't have to rest whilst on holiday.

Kicking But of a Slaver should get us some nice XP, especially as we'd have 'Defeated the enemy army' before even having to do anything (Yeah, why not, Yardly is up for Commanding the Army hehehe)

For  Kree and Senuviel, its been a long chase. ....IF... we can kill him, it will be  a satisfied  elf!

 looking back over the  years, we have  had PCs  come and go ( and die or just wander off).. we had  party  members dies, even the doggie.

 we had PC  turn traitor on us and try to turn us in..we ran into Orcs  who fought with us, and Clerics  who turned against us.

all of that, because a band of youngsters , trusted  a guy and tried to help him.. there is  no 'taking him prisoner'  kree has  dozens of  ways to make him die, and the Motivation as well!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 23):

I take it you will be incapacitating him first then rather than just killing him!

   out of IC?

 Kree would Like him to be wounded so he  could take  him to the nearest  dead  Tree and stake him to it, then spend a few  days , helping him die, to make up for all the lives lost and salves  taken... but,, if  he  should  be killed,  Kree  will take  his    head  and mount in on a  dead tree lim  as he burns the body.

 the slave? is not one of Kree's friends.

Hahaha. Love it

In reply to Yardly (msg # 26):

OOC DM looks to Kree, wonders how far off his alignment may shift depending on what he does  I mean I have a huge leniency on this so Kree if you have your choices, just note I do take everything into account ones actions and Kree has this huge grey area  lol.    Oh, yea, some characters went evil, other lawful and some Orcs where good   lol.   AS noted maybe maybe not  as you build your character you build all of your character I try to take into account and no you really have to do something way off base to make the DM gods get up off his chair....

Yardly, you want an army to command, well sorry you have not gotten all the armies dealt with.

Slaver, maybe does not need and army to operate per say.  Just a venue wo work out of.


Good luck I shall enjoy the outcome (I hope).

In reply to GM (msg # 27):

Yardly doesn't want an army, just a family. Good try though.

nope..Chaotic  good...whatever  it takes to get the job done... part of the job , will be teaching the slaver is  sins and  adding the punishment. Its  one of the reason all my characters, everywhere are Chaotic Good..Evil must pay..and of course, since he follows the sister, there is the whole  'eye of an eye' to balance things.

 Many soles the slaver  has  wronged, would be eager to see Kree get to him while he has life it... Kree  just wnats him dead, the  other stiffis  an enjoyable bonus.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 29):

OOC - DM chuckles  - I have been following Kree all his life (in this campaign).

OCC - Sorry folks, started my annual track down tax lane but in between all the choice words after seeing all the choice numbers I'll get posts out.  No fear, I'll not take it out on you all, quiet the contrary it will be a good break.

you  should   see my 'Kree offshoots' This  one is one of the Nicer ones... They are allo harsh on bad guys, but they have  alot of niceness  to  those who cannot  fight for themselves. and  Vengeance  has become his  companion.

If you need Counselling (isn't it tax deductible there?) Then give me a shout. I'm sure I could make space for you ;-)

If the orc are using longswords then the weapon speed factor for a longsword is 5 (unless all their longswords are magical).
Even if they all roll 1 on a 1d10 for initiative then they'd be simulataeous with Rena not before (as her init was 1 on 1d10 + 5 for longsword WSF).

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 29):

On the other hand, Senuviel is the opposite of Kree. I always try to play Senuviel as the strategist -though I myself suck at strategy -  and the cold mind that does all the calculations of a givem plan. Senuviel is always rational and logic but he has learned how Kree's mind work. And yeah, they're both elves, they've been adventuring since the beginning and they've gone through a lot! So, yeah...you can definitely trust these two weathered adventurers. :p

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 34):

Ah, let me think.  Was it highest roll goes first or lowest roll.  I have to dig up the notes on that but lets see if lowest you go first Rena, if highest you go last.  Give me a few to look that up.

Lowest goes first but by all means look it up.
(If it helps, the clue is in the weapon speed factors, where a short sword has a lower number (3 from memory) than a longsword (which is definitely 5) which in turn is a lower number than a polearm (which can be 10 or 12).

What Rena Said.
Beverley rolled a 6, +6 for weapon speed of spear = 12.  - Dex Reaction if getting technical (not that Beverley has ANY bonuses).
Hope this helps.

From memory initiative was 1d6 in 1e, but went to 1d10 in 2e.
And just roll individual initatives in the first round of an encounter, not every round.

And I think Dex reaction mod applies on a surprise check as relief agaisnt being surprised.
i.e. roll 1d10 and a character is surprised on 1, 2 or 3. Reaction mod adds to this roll, so can take one out of the surprised range. e.g. Reaction +2, then rolling a 1d10, getting a natural 2 or 3 become 4 and 5 so not surprised. Halflings and elves (subject to armour & distance to companions etc etc) can subtract from foes' surprise rolls.

Correct

"Standard Initiative Procedure
To determine the initiative order for a round of combat, roll 1d10 for each side in the
battle. Normally, this means the DM rolls for the monsters (or NPCs), while one of the
players rolls for the PC party. Low roll wins initiative" (page 186)  So roll each round unless GM/DM has house rule, same with the Dex thing, which I included in all my games.
Up to GM/DM if Group or one for so many rounds or all combat.

  Correct again.

Rangers and monks might have extra stuff on surprise but I don't recall the details and if we don't have such characters it doesn't matter.

@Bree - Initiative in 2e is usually based on 1d10. (Unless of course your char has some kind of class ability or magic that alters it).

In reply to Rena Shae Karis (msg # 41):

I have been using d10 init.  Not really using weapon speed/type/length ect.  There a whole article in a dragon about who gets the first swing that can become very details and DMs can have a go at it trying to get each monster's init.     Giving dex adj I also do.  In short quick encounters 1 init is enough then its sort of a dex thing action thing.

Most encounters though are init each round.   I am sorry if I get things confused about init but will try to adjust for each group best I can.   Right now, D10 init.  subtract Dex mod and lowest goes first.    Surprises I factor a lot into it so DM shrugs surprises each time are different.  I'll try to factor in weapons speed and r even monsters reach.  but no matter lets all have fun and game on.

In reply to GM (msg # 42):

I've always rolled init as 1d10+speed factor. But I'm ok with whatever our dear DM decides.

Me too

Agree; as long as it's the same for us and foes, it's good.

Has to be fair both sides (just with us being better....obviously this doesn't include Beverley as she is rolling rubbish anyway)

In reply to Beverly (msg # 46):

Good, then no worries about being fare, I treat all situations the same for both sides and let the dice decide in the end.

Lowest roll Init wins = D10 - Dex adj + [I'll try to take into account] weapon speeds [best as I can].

Or just everyone ignore weapon speed. That would avoid you forgetting to apply it..

Rules  are great. The   make and define a game, they also ruin and hinder  game.

 100 years  ago, me and my  brother, tried  the Oringal  D&D, we were  wargamers who  game from the  Avalon Hill games..AH had  complicates  rules, but thier  Combat ( at least for  tactical were one counter  was one  plane, ship  ect) had  great dice roll charts, that took almost everything into account

OD&D fell short with  vague rules

 We  used  Tunnels  and Trolls, which i still have  all the  sologames, it was fun, but it wasn't really meant to be a 'serious' game

 Then,  we  used  In The Labyrinth , that Grew out  of  Melee and Wizard..simple  rules, tactical because you used a hex  board, their  Advanced   versions of  Melee and Wizard. The advance   rules  were great It allowed   for  building your character..there were penalties  if you chose   spells or talents that was outside your class...but you could do that. A wizard with a sword... a ranger with a spell  ect.

when i ran a campaign  using  Advanced version,  we never  went back to D&D. Some things, as the GM, i had to adjust the rules or make one up  if it came outside the  boarders of the current  rules....BUT..RP was  always first.

............

 In my games, i have my own  simple system, for building the  characters, and  rules.. I call it semi-freeform, because  there aren't hard core rules, but the rules that are there  eliminate god  modes, People are still playing a game, they know the rules, they get their  points.. and everyone has  fun.

 I guess what I am trying say is, don't be a slave to rules  carve them to meet you game.

  The 'great'  Gygax said "..these aren't rule, but more like suggestions "

all good and understood, so long as everyone is aware of and playing to the same suggestions.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 49):

Something else Gygax said "Don't say no, assign a modifier".  Thereby it was possible to run up a wall and back flip over the opponent to land behind it and hamstring.  Nigh on impossible with average Dex but a 1 always succeeded on a stat check, a 20 always failed.

Yes, I remember that surfaced again in 3e as "if in doubt go +2 (or -2)"..

In reply to Rena Shae Karis (msg # 52):

I agree on this since this is DnD, Role Playing your character and there is magic and all sorts of fantasy stuff - Hey DM, I am going to do this, DM says, OK roll the dice lets see what happens ...... Always something going to happen you will just have to accept, wonder about or smile in amazement. Game on

In reply to GM (msg # 53):

Like trying to para-drop a colleague onto the number one enemy ;-)

In reply to Yardly (msg # 54):

Right? :D

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 34):

Hey all, I'm back!

Spent waaaaaaaaay too much money, and had waaaaaaaaaay too much fun!!!!

So, what did I miss?

Welcome back. Glad you enjoyed it!

Still trying to put down some orcs & goblins. And we had some discussions on rules, intiative and such.

In reply to Rena Shae Karis (msg # 57):

Ahh, nothing new.  :):)

Hahahaha

Loved D World, but damn, paying $5 for a 20 oz come gets old fast!  Not to mention spending $35 to $40 per meal gets old as well.  But had an absolute blast!  Although, Epcot was kind of on the boring side, unless you like to drink, in which case, every country had some to offer.

Love Tower of Terror.  Although, my sister was too chicken to go on it.  She's afraid of the drop. (Stomach goes into throat, and she's afraid she will be barfing afterwards!)

Went to Disneyland East, aka Magic Kingdom.  I'm not sure, how, but it seems the Disneyland version of pirates is better.

Loved the Millenium Falcon ride, and the Rise of the Resistance.  Loads of fun, and loved eating the grilled Cheese sandwiches of Woody's Lunch Box.

Animal Kingdom was also a blast.  Loved seeing the live animals.  And the dinosaur ride was fun.

Disney Hollywood was great.  Absolutely loved Fantasmic!  Amazing show!

Anyway, spent waaaay too much money, but also had waaay too much fun!

Now, just dealing with the aftermath.  :(

(The budget was blown to hell.  My sister must have spent at least $250 on souvenirs alone!)

Like I said, spent waaaaay too much money, but also had waaaay too much fun.  It was a great get away from the stress of last year!

its great y9ou ahd  fun!

it's nice when you can manage to do that.
WD and so glad you all had a great time!
:)

Ha! ninja-ed

Yeah, the old budget was blown to hell.

Now, comes the post Disney financial consequences.  Getting through the rest of the month.   :)

It was fun as hell, and would do it again, no question, but daaaaanm.  Now comes the consequences, and ouch!

She's going to be dicey!  :)

In reply to Diana (msg # 61):

Oh I know how much it costs to play at the mouse's house. I unfortunately go there at least twice a year if not more with my kid living there.  Lucky (maybe) I have an annual pass and my kids apt to stay at.   I am excited you had a blast and next time you will be able to spend less :)

In reply to GM (msg # 62):

Hey, if you go to the house of Mouse, and don't have fun, there's something wrong with YOU!!!!

Seriously, there's something wrong with you.  I mean, like I said, spent too much money, but had way too much fun!!!

In reply to Diana (msg # 63):

You can't have "too much fun". More like "exactly what the doctor ordered".

In reply to Beverly (msg # 64):

You are right, there's no such thing as too much fun.

And it certainly was what the doctor ordered.

Was nice to get away from everything, and just leave 2022 behind.  ")

We also spent too much money, which is the consequence we're paying now.  :)

But it was damned well worth it!!!!!

Paying Twice 😱  lol
One bit of spending that is completely justified. A cleansing, grief management.
As a Qualified Counsellor (therapist), I approve 😀

In reply to Yardly (msg # 66):

Hopefully 2023 will be better then 2022 was!

In reply to Diana (msg # 67):

Agree, hope 2023 is better then 2022.

Now Lets see if I can do better in 2023 for you all as a DM.

In reply to GM (msg # 68):

Oh I forgot:

Everyone gets 100 Exp for Presidents day :)

Then another 50 exp because I am sure I forgot something.

That's 150 exp to all.

Game on.

lol, TY!

In reply to GM (msg # 69):

YAY! Thanks!!

In reply to GM (msg # 69):

More importantly, it was Pancake Day yesterday and I didn't have any :-(
Thank you for the 150XP :-)

Which is fine, everyone attacks once in initiative order and then folks with two attacks attack in initiative order.
@ GM - Quick clarification on initiative, please. Are we and our foes using weapon speed factors all the time?
If it's something that gets forgotten, it's easier to just not use them at all.

Which makes sense if this was a comment after the first set of attacks and before the second set of attacks, e.g. Rena cuts orc #8 for 3 damage then it cuts here for 3 damage. Orc #8 is fighting for its life before Rena stirkes again.


This makes sense as RAW orcs have 1HD whuich is average 5HP with a max of 8HP. Rena has done cumulative 8HP damage to orc #8 so (unless it's an exceptional orc) it should be dead (or at least unconcious).
@ GM - Quick clarification on orc #8, pleaase. Is it dead already so that Rena can go and tackle other foes (without invoking a free attack from orc #8)?

***
Edit: I just checked: the average orc was 1d8HP in 1e AD&D, but reduced to 1d8-1HP in 2e AD&D. I'd forgotten that.

8hp being nearly/enough to kill an Orc... wish we had those :-D

In reply to Yardly (msg # 74):

Rena, clarification for you. I had misplaced Beverly's attack on your Orc so I will fix that Orc is alive in the chart I forgot to edit.   I factored everything in and gave a final tally per fight for a little less writing but if I have time I do better details.  Yes you hit first then it hit then you hit and who says these are by the book Orcs or Goblins  I mean look some are getting out of an entangle spell   evil DM chuckle.

Yardly, hhmm, really you would like some of these Orcs???  DM rubs his hands together grinning

Oh, no worries about asking questions, I do not mind, I am only a human DM (I think)

If it's an above average orc then it feels a bit unsporting for that not to be flagged in its description, e.g. "...orc #8 is unusually burly..." or perhaps "...this band of orcs seem unusually burly..."

If we include Beverly's 6HP ofdamage to it (which you just said hit orc #8 then the creature has 15HP minimum. That's about the same as a half ogre (or maybe a weedy full-ogre).

It's fine if you want to have 100HP orcs. Or a kobold that can cast meteor swarm a couple of times before breakfast. But both of those are deviations from what players are lead to expect according to the guidelines of published material. It's tha absense of signalling that I'm getting at here.

In reply to GM (msg # 75):

Rena, Ah I see, I guess I will try to describe more rough an tough looking creatures for you unless naturally they just had good hit point rolls - remember I give the "enemy" the same HP roll rules as characters.  1 HD Orc has 2 chances to roll an 8 for HPs. Oh and I always give a chance for a better stat then normal just in case, then that "enemy" can become the leader/in charge "enemy".   I went this way since the "enemy" union went on strike and left e nothing but tribbles.   I also had to fix a fix I did not fix earlier in that Orc #9 is Dead and only Orc #8 lives.  Orc #8 is not any tougher looking then the others he just has a better Con 9HP.  he has 1 left.  So I hope that clears things up a bit.

Now 100 HP Orcs  oh joy, let me talk to the Orc gods to see what can be done .... well, you could have a 10th+ level Orc Fighter with 100 hps .....  back to the games.

Thank you for letting me play in your world. Please delete me.
Best wishes to all

In reply to GM (msg # 77):

To be fair, the description that the Orcs are making their way out of a Web, tells me they are skilled.  Hit Points from levels are not because something is burly but because they are more skilled at making the hits less damaging, turning at the last moment, the armour catching as had been taught.  That's why training was included, whether by a trainer or through experience, that stuff we get after an encounter when we rest and talk about what has happened.  It's why Fighters get more hit points.  A Critical hit is when a sword bites or an arrow catches that gap between armour or the hole previously created by others.

This has been explained numerous times throughout the history of the game in Dragon Magazines, other articles and the PHB/GMB.

It's why Yardly complained and then realised that his Gladiatorial Techniques seemed to be mirrored slightly and then everything was ok.  As I said at the start of this post and I'm assuming that this is for your game; the GM mentioned,

    I  used to like D&D. then they got  goofy. The stole ideas  from My fav   game  :The Fantasy Trip:   and made a good   thing out of Advanced Wizard  and  Melee.

  The Talents  ans  Such   that #e brought was along that concept...The Fantasy  trip is reborn  at Steve jackson games, i was even a backer  , back then, because  i was working nd had  more   fun money.

  Anyway.. you play in the GM's /DMs world. They are god. Rules  lawyers  are always bad, no matter what  system you play ( which is why mine is hone brewed)

 Everyone  here who has   adventured  with me, know that that i am here for the RP.. the points   are there, only  for  me  to   move up ect. But tis  not what i play the game  for.

 I still play pick up football at my age, I have coached  for years  and years, i played in Adult leagues... all of that  come down to adaptation . You adapted to the Offense. Or defense... so here, we  adapt  to the enemies  we  fight, and  tasks that are brought  about.

 when you focus  on 'numbers'..or  'what should be" then you miss the  whole thing of RP..and that should be why we are here.

Rena, I wish you well.  Sorry my campaign/DMing did not fit your needs.  As always, if you wish to return please come back I never close a door.


Yes, Yardly Rena is from another group in this world.

Well, game on everyone, there is adventuring to do, RP to accomplish and maybe experience the world some more.

This. All this. Better than just Hack and Slash.
Thank you GM and players alike.

  60's  50's

    i stilol play football every sunday morning , we play all year round. I'm not as good as  i was  through the years to even  say..55.

but, i still can make throws, and catch passes and 'sneak open' because no one watched the 'almost dead' guy.

  There are two other guys, just turned 50..one of them is Cut like a G(I joe  action figure..Last week  i hit  him with a   20 yard pass that  the first guy missed his flag and  he ran  70+ yards for a TD... his watch clocked him at 21.1 miles an hour!

 there are  a couple 40's up ther, the rest are either  low 30's or   20'ws. get have some guys up there that play/played  college ball. I? had  to FA tryouts back in the day..( USFL Maulers of 1st  USFL.. and  the  first Arean  league for the  Pittsburgh  Gladiators ..almost made  it to camp for the Maulers.)

 some of the 'out of highschool' kids  will be panting  and say " i'm getting to old for this'.. and my  answer is..  "how old are you?"

" 22 "

 and I'll say ..." do you know  i'm   3 of You  old?"

 yeah? i have   bad  knees.. and  after sunday i  am stiff  and sore  until wedensday.. but  its my fav thing to do , away from the computer!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 89):

Kree the man the myth the football player - that is awesome you can still walk after each sunday.  I can;t say I am very active :(

but I do have to start regular activities again before I become a jelly roll  lol

i won't lie. when my son and his daughters had to move in after his divorce..  i began a bit  more 'round'.

  but  these last 9 month of so, i losing the   eight, and it helps my battered knees. we  play flag.. adjust the field  width  for  the number of players on both sides. We almost always  play 100 yards.sometimes i am 'offense  player'  for both sides, i will throw, or if  the other  side has a guy who wants to throw i will run routes.

 we started to keep track  after new year.. Old Guys Vs  Young guys ( its  easier to pick up sides that way).. old  guys have  13-3  record...( we have a thing, if you are down by  5 TD ...we  could  TDs  as 1 pt, to make it easier.. the team that is behind has  1 drive to  lessen it ..if yiu fail, the score is rest, it becomes   'another game"..most of nthe rules  up there are from the  Flag league i played in loud  ago, the adult league ( supposed to be flag, but   you got to hit and be hit).. we make it  fun and competitive. some other rules, i guy who has stopped playing, and Myself , pout in for 'ground rules'

I used to be a volleyball player and a soccer goalie. Then I got round due to work + school and lack of activities. Now I'm back at exercising, boxing, and loving it...soon I'll be some pounds lighter and thngs are going to get better healthwise.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 92):

I'm just round due to inability to exercise properly for 30yrs.

In reply to Yardly (msg # 93):

I hear you Yardly.

I have arthritis in my back, so it makes exorcising a major pain in the ass.

I always tell people:

When you get old, and you get arthritis, blame it on your parents, those fucking bitches!  :)

After all, it comes from their DNA.

In reply to Diana (msg # 94):

OOC - Sorry been busy again, I hope by next week I'll get the next rounds out for you all.

In the mean time, have a great Friday and weekend.

In reply to GM (msg # 95):

No problem! We all have our share of real life bump and grind.

Have a great weekend you wonderful people!

Wow, I have been a bad DM not getting out the next round of actions for you all.  I will by this weekend.  Thanks for hanging in there :)

<<==== Gives GM some Blessings to help through the week and help memory so can remember to post next round happenings.

D & D film pays homage to the Cartoon.
Really clever plot with interesting twist. The monsters look great (some comical) as does the scenery.
Well worth watching.
I will be watching it again.

In reply to Yardly (msg # 99):

I will watch the movie in some time soon but glad to hear it is going to be worth it.  I did read about the scene including the cartoon toons.  nice plug



So today is April fools day and I an't fooling you all - everyone get's 101 Exp so have fun appling it :)

Next to work on the next rounds for you all, I'll just do taxes another day  snic.

Saw them twice all in same scene for different reasons.

Thank you.  Is this for the absolute pain that this (unchangable) colour is doing to us?


You can do mine if you wish!!!
Don't forget to plug my company to all those stressing about the Tax Returns ;-) hehehe

In reply to Yardly (msg # 101):

Gads sometimes I hate the color changes but then once it helped me to not forgot some event.

I'll add your exp Yardly (And charge a nominal administration exp fee, processing exp fee and surcharge exp fee =plus finally a handling exp tax)

PLUGs goes here, insert carefully and just make sure you can use it in all the countries of the world.
If anyone wants to plug there business please do it more in a fun way like my wife is a travel aganet and learned some universal plugs do not work in all the countries of the world the hard way (I heard the bitchen all the way back home until her battery went dead.  Oh the grace of silence was so nice).
And I do allow plugging for other games if you are recruiting for them or just want to talk about them.  I play in another great Play by Post (Proboards) game that has been running for I think decades and the DM is always looking for new blood er players.  Let me know if interested and I'll PM the game link n DM for you and no, I did not take the huge big ugly /Plus sized OPRcs from that game but ....
So thanks Yardly, I tread water in the dark tax pool of America but one day I am sure I'll need arm floaties.

Now as I ingnore taxes, yard work and chores I'll get to posting you all next posts/actions (laptops at 78% so hang on).

In reply to GM (msg # 102):

for 101XP April Fools.  BRILLIANT and Ironic.
You are so funny.  I'd do your tax returns for you, I can't even get mine done when I have my "go to" head on, won't charge too much, only 10k XP.  I know, cheap at half the price lol.

I heard that America is weird when it comes to taxes, two of my step-mums were accountants (now retired so no getting any ideas).  To be fair, they are the only 2 left out of 4 mums, so they have to be taken care of, I don't think I'll get any more (then again, knowing my father, chance that he hasn't tried to find another are high lol).

In reply to Yardly (msg # 103):

Brilant on your father - though I'd use my time left to do life adventures instead of women chacing adventures - its cheaper in the long run.  lol

I completely agree (and saves the house or boat).
BTW - I can tell your brain is all taxed out, 10% of 101 isn't 1.01, it's 10.1
Hugs...Feeling it for you, I sort mine out in 2months.

In reply to Yardly (msg # 105):

Normally true but well after all the Exp fees that 10% was not much  lol   OK so I've taxed out my thinking cap for the day.

Fair do's.  I think you need to put your feet up and chill for the rest of the day (just posting here instead or posting taxes)

Ya should see how we handle taxes in Brazil. You'd definetely go crazy. LMAO!

Ñnnnnnnooooooooo!!! :-0

In reply to Yardly (msg # 109):

I hope to get more posting done Sunday while I eat chocalte and eggs or was it rabbit stew and marshmellow pies


Whats a Krackentroll ??  A Orcenbolder ??  A Gobnoidenuck??

 Putting this up in all my games.

  HAPPY  EASTER  to all my friends , Players  and  GMs. Whether  its   Bunnies  or the cross, or Equinox or if  we missed your Holiday.  I hppe you all enjoy.

From the saying of a copuple characters "Happy Happy Joy Joy" Its 100 Exp to all.

Hope the day is great no matter the occasion.

Cheers

Happy Easter everybody!!!

In reply to GM (msg # 113):

Thank you and Happy Easter
and Happy Commercial Chocolate Day Yardly

In reply to Beverly (msg # 115):

Well, other then granting you all 100 exp chocolate easter eggs  I never got a post out.  Guess that will be Monday  :)

In reply to GM (msg # 113):

me and my sister Tracie went to see our sister Trish in the hospital today and had a really good visit.

Two visits ago, we had shared some Ghirardelli chocolate, and she said she wanted some more.

So, we went on a spending spree at the Ghirardelli store (that damned stuff us just too damned good!!!!!!)

So, we got her one of those little rabbits filled with chocolate.

For 45 minutes of the hour long visit she was good with it, then in the last 15 minutes, she went to pieces and begged us to take it away.  Saying she didn't want any chocoate. (although, we did leave her a small white chocolate rabbit.)

Tracie got her feelings hurt because we went to all the expense to get her all this chocolate and suddenly, out of the blue she didn't want it.  Trish was literally close to tears when she left.  She was so apologetic, and it just broke my heart to see her like that.

This visit, the two cleared the air, kissed and made up and we wound up leaving Trish with six pieces of chocolate, to which she was much happier.

It just goes to show how fast things can change with her, which can be just so damned frustrating.

Anway, had a good visit with her.

Sadly, next week, the 17th is the one year anniversary of her going into the hospital.

Damn, where did the year go!!!! (answer: to Disney World with me and Tracie!!!!)
hahaha

Happy Easter, and holidays everyone!

howdy. before  i  get into the  the rolls  and   such... I sorta  lost track...

 I did  change target to  the 'best target"  attacking  Aoife. and I think we used my old  rolls for that.

...............

 Now..this is a new  turn?  You need  rolls and target now?. If the wagon is movign i must stop the driver, if now  , i need tp aid  Aoife.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 118):

Kree I  may have used your rolls to attack the tax man - Sorry but can you roll me some more and yea, your rolls will determine how you shot them at who in support of Aoife.   :)

Seriously...first thing I do on a Monday morning is roll a 1?? Dang!

I like your style.  First thing to do in the week is check RPoL :-)
Living the DnD dream hehehe

So I will try to catch up here later today. I took my green belt test yesterday and...it was ugly but I passed! For context...I do Hawaiian Kempo (martial arts with an MMA/self defense bent) and the green belt is a milestone. The test is basically 3 5 minutes rounds. You have 3 different opponents who are tagging out every minute and so they are fresh while you are dying for breath and a sip of water. You get a minute break inbetween rounds. The very last minute of the last round...I had all 3 opponents just punching the crap out of me and I had to fight back somehow...

But yeah...I managed to pass and now I can get back to the things I enjoy (like gaming!). The amount of anxiety that I had because of this test has been awful.

In reply to Aoife o Eachthianna (msg # 122):

Congrats!

Wow!

You are truly a bad ass Aoife!!!!

In reply to Diana (msg # 124):

Green belt cool.  HHmm, now to see what monster I can drum up for you to fight  :)

DM says sorry, I'll get posting I think Wednesday night.  No wife she's out working/traveling so I'll have time to my self snicker - Boss away workers will play.

I'll be away at LARP tomorrow afternoon until next Monday night. Bad signal but will endeavour to post when I can.

I'll be away for Beltane at a festival. See how signal is.

In all my games...May the 4th be with you!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 128):

May the 4th be with you!

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 129):


Oh my yes May the 4th be with you.

hhmm, my accountant says May plus 4th = 100 star experience points

thats 100 boys n girls 100 !!!!   enjoy.

Yay for Accountants

In reply to Yardly (msg # 131):

Yup accountants got to love them


Oh crap ohla bars I heard/read  its the loss of mayo from the sinking of the titanic with mayo day morning or celebration.  shrugs

Everyone gets an extra mayonayse sandwichs and 50 exp.   Nope not going to give you all 100 exp and a Mayo sandwich.

I'll get out posting this weekend.  off to go make ice then cut it.  Or is it cut the ice then make it   hhhmmmmm  yea thats they way its done

In reply to GM (msg # 132):

Egg Mayo sarky is what I had for my tea, definitely sank into my tummy like the Titanic lol

Thank you for the additional XP.

Anything for a Coronation? First in the UK in 70 years.

Gods save King Charlies III.

being an Amerian, i sorta like the fancy stuff, though i think they could stream line it a bit.

 i ...DO NOT..like  the  queen hooker..i mean, consort. It just shows you, every walk of like  as those who can sleep thier  way to the top...gods know we seen it enough over here, with the  tangerine  and his  small army of 'wives'

I like the Pomp, was shorter than I thought it would be.


This is the opinion of a lot of Brits, she was, if rumour is to be believed, with him before the 'Arranged Marriage' to Diana (who would have made an awesome queen).

yeah? I liked Di...my late  wife though she had  the Poise and  attitude needed to be 'beloved'...again? as  an Amercian, I love Kate..I like her sports background too. being on the field  in a team sport, instead of just hearing about Popo and stuff.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 137):

I think everybody likes Kate, even those who don't like the Royal Family.

In reply to Beverly (msg # 138):


I'll bit or givith  50 exp for a corner office  I mean corination on the Isles.

Man I am going to have to get a thied job to pay for all this exp I am dishing out.

Enjoy the exp and carnartion instant UK fast.

I hope to get those promised posts out tomorrow.   Had a surprise last minite table top session.  I mean the DM called like at 9 and we were gaming by 10.   So lucky the wife understood though I cleaned and did shores like a fiend today just to keep on her good side,.

putting this in all My games.  ...Happy Mothers  Day, to all the Mothers out there, and  Dad's who also have to be Mothers!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 140):

Happy Day, Happy Way, Happy Mothers Day to all.

100 exp to all - Dang my experioence bag of holding is getting lighter.  Enjoy the day all

In reply to GM (msg # 141):

Happy mother's Day.

Enjoy your trip and thank you for all the additional XP, I'll be going up levels is we get another 100 XP (Multi-Class).

I'm sure the Alaskan fresh air will refill that Bag of XP Holding.

In reply to Beverly (msg # 143):

Diana, cool leveling soon.   I'll have to relook at Bandit, he does get exp too and may actually level too at some point.  I see an unjust not letting him gain exp too.

Well, I think May 29th will be another 100 exp day so I do have to get my bag refilled by then  lol

Just thought I'd snaffle the 13400th Post :-)

 very neat, 2 of my games  have over  20,000 posts. My Soace   game  just hit 138,000 all the games  Ihave  been around at least 12 years...its  nice to see this  game  reach milestones as well.

I agree although it would be a while before reaching 20,000.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 146):

There is only 1 other game that I am in that is higher than this one and only by 1k and a bit.

In reply to Yardly (msg # 148):

OOC so Vancouver was very nice. Will have to go back. On the sea to Juno now to start my Alaska port hoping. Maybe internet good enough to post or keep track of things at least but I’ll try to reach that 20000 leagues under the sea posting and space rangers beyond infinity    Forget how many years this campaign has been going but I hope we all have long legs to this as there is much more to do.   Now where did I leave that note book.

It’s the play of all the players that make this a great campaign to keep DMing.  I’ll try to keep up but it’s 1130 Alaska time and I am just adjusting to this time zone.  Heck back home it’s almost time to get up for work. Gads. That’s crazy.

i have a player  in Alaska  in my space game., she's had  some health issues, but is asking me in PMs how her characters  are doing.

In reply to Clair Brandywhine (msg # 149):

If I ain't mistaken, I was the last player accepted in the original group, in November 17, 2010!!!!

yeah?  that['s  about the time i started  my games...m I was determined i wasn't going to DM/GM..just wanted to play..but  games  kept  ending, GMs  Ghosting..so.. I developed   my owm Motto...

 run games as you waould  want them  run... Homebrew system, Setings and a 'lving  world' where things are happening, whether you are there or not!~... seems to have paid off.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 152):

Yep. I was re-reading my messages from that time. I wanted to play a ranger and the original DM didn't allow it because there already was a ranger (Kree, maybe?), then I tried Paladin, and the slot was taken too (the traitor dude, probably), so I was left with my all time AD&D fave class: fighter/mage...and here it is Senuviel kicking arses the elvish way!

 Yeah? Kree   was to be  either a  Rogue  or  Ranger..I wanted him to be along the lines of a Harper Scout

  he worked out well enough..I will never get over the traitor  paladin, who turned us in as  we tried to brun the  were-folk out of the Docks.. It was good   he left,   kree would have had a frirendly  fire incident, or... maybe the guy wouldn't have  woke up on morning.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 154):

Yeah...that was...weird...allof a sudden the paladin snapped and started villainize us. I mean...they were wererat scum working for slavers, what the heck he wanted? A parley?

 over  the  course of  decades .. My Kree's  Ivy's  and other 'kree-like' characters i had, have  rubbed  some players the wrong way...not character...players

 I have learned , that these  are 'my' games  as well as theirs, if  if i RP my guys a certain way? that's on me...but  i'll never change  their outlook on life because  some other  player is whiny .

  The bottom line of hear  is  kree is  chaotic good. 'whatever it takes to get the  job done".. if he breaks some eggs  to make an omelet , so b it. The paladine guy   lost all rspect when he  turned them in.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 156):

If it was a choice between his Palidinhood and turning 'evil' players in, there is little yo no choice. If however he had doubts, his 2nd Ed power to check 'Evil Intent' could be used, found the party had no evil intent, and be satisfied that continuing to help the party would be a good deed, then wouldn't have to turn them in.

in  My  fantasy game, there is a guy  who is playing   the 'Holy Warrior" , much like i would be  in D&D.

 he Joined  Kree's  Unit, and Kree   is a bit darker here , when it comes to the treatment of  enemies. Especially , Slavers.

 The Holy  warrior  will 'scan'  the prisoners, looking for   those  who might be redeemable. He  has only questioned  Kree once or twice  in the years he has played in the  Game, but he doesn't  take part in the 'questionings'  or  the 'punishments'.

 in the  end bad  guys get treaty , just as  bad, if not worse, then they treated   helpless folks..and? the background helps  explain alot of it as well.

The thing is....if I remember well, the paladin got mad because we set the docks on fire together with some wererat people who were working for the slaver. the idea was to cause as damage as possible to their enterprise since - at that time - we only knew Astar had deceived and used us and we didn't know his whereabouts.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 159):

Wow I remember that stuff.  Hhmm. Was I DMing then. Gads I’d have to look an see but yea that part went oddly south quick as I recall    Now of course you are all forming good groups so let’s hope I can keep monsters also interested in campaigning against you all.   I had to pay off a monster strike recently.  No health insurance.   Man that resurrection is costly then they wanted vacation time too plus hazard pay.  Sigh. Monsters are so demanding.

Well still in Alaska   Home tomorrow night with better internet and a computer to better post. So please hang on a touch longer.  Like I posted. I got a new deal with those monsters so.   Evil dm chuckle

Claire and the Puppy dog were still   active  members of the group when that happened, if i remember  right.

 It reminds  me of a funny story, not   the same..but its  still funny.

 I hopped around  in  the  early days.Most of  the games i played and Ran , where on Yahoo (as i mentioned, i have  a guy in my Ironmound game, who hunted  me down and found me here.. he stepped right  back in, like he wasn't  gone at all, though there was some changes to the  back story,)

 anyway, the  big thing was EZ boards.  I only play one onesite, and only for the one game, that is 'like" easy boards.. I hate the site, but i like the game,,and have  a deep back story there, so i play ( when DM makes a post painfully slow going there)]

 So? these  easy  boards it was alot like here, even  a rudimentary PMs  system  and dice rollers.... The Best One, Kree was a Harper scout, and he was permitted by the GM  with one spell,according to the old book..i chose  sleep, that worked  well with his  sneaking up and killing bad guys.

 But this one game  i joined  was a 'Buddy game'.. four people left the game  as i was getting in, two other joined  about the same  time..and there  were  5 PCs  with  all kinds of posts to their  credit. This Kree  was a rogue and borderline assassin . my thought were to  have him get into this   Guild, and   work against the bad  guys from  with in... The 'leader" of the game, was best buddies with the GM...Kree had   a magic item ( dagger)  taken from him I asked the GM   how he could allow that, he said  he didn't restrict  the players  actions.. and it was 'everyman for himself' outside of battle..Also, death was a real thing..you died, Character   is wiped and if you want to keep playing, you make a newguys, which>  kept all new guys lower levels, and easy for the Main character to  beat up on...

 so.. Turns out the GM  didn't mind   'in-fighting" so i sent  him  a PM  of what i was  goign to do...he laughed and said 'go for it"

 we were at  an Inn, The   main group was Bulling the poor  folks there, Kree  tried to Help them, but   would get pushed  around... Kree told the  lady bar keep he would help her...

 when he came to serve the  drinks to his 'friends"  they laughed  and Bullied  him, Kree snarled  and  took some hits, just to make everything look god... His  final words to them "..Enjoy those  drink, I will never server you another!"

so?  they  decided..'yes you will"  and they all downed their  Drinks... The   DM sent a  Message to them, Detailing what the poison  Kree put in the  ale was doing to them...Lots of crying  and  OOC  complaining  about what i did... my only answer was ' go have carnal knowledge with yourself"

 I collected  all the Maic  Items ( tons!)  from thier  bodeis... I cut off the heads,, and  Burned them in the fire place,  the  Inn's workers helped me take the Bodies  out  and  Burn them in a field  away from the  Inn...

 the players whined  and  cried in  OOC..but , the GM  was rather  fair, in  sticking to her guns... Kree  road off  with the  Horses  and   magic itenms and  coin.. I stayed in the game , for about  3 more months, Before   Kree booked   Passage to 'Laynak' ( where  Ironmound is)..then i quit...Kree did leave  2000 Gold for the Inn keeper and his family

 it wasn't  long until some jerk  hackers  infected all the EZ boards... so there was Only  Yahoo, until i found these boards.. This will be my home boards  for  as lok as i keep playing.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 161):

Wow, that was interesting story. Kree is a character in all means in the games you run him chuckle.    I like the DM stuck to her guns though not sure a truly successful "good" campaign of characters the in fighting would be allowed or that bad.

Oh, back from Alaska, an awesome place to visit and we had great weather for the first 11 days and rain only only on one bus ride and our day we left.   You all have to visit Alaska if you have not done so.  My wife choose end of May before it got crazy toristy and it was a great choice.

Once I settled down I'll get all groups caught up with ay due posts.

Last words of this post is, drum roll, (puase) yup you know its coming -

100 exp for Memorial day :)

Glad you are back safe and your wife hasn't caused any permanent damage with you jumping on here whilst on holiday (innocent player grin).

Whoohoo for 100xp (cough, splutter, be nice please).  Beverley goes up :-)

In reply to Beverly (msg # 163):

Glad Menorial Day exp served you well.

In reply to GM (msg # 164):

Thank you.
It's not spell levels that gone up in, well, not Sorcerer level anyway.

In reply to Beverly (msg # 165):

Fear not players, your DM still lives and will post tonight - sorry I got home and was thunder struck with a bad virus that took me a bit to recover from but I am back better then before (after 6 million dollars worth of arms, legs and such).     I look forward to geting this campaign moveing a bit quicker for you all too (those bionic legs will come oin handy).

Cheers.

In reply to GM (msg # 166):

I've been struggling being able to see a screen today, any screen, even a mobile.  Summer cold or the flu, either way, I'm being told not to look at the screen for long and I should listen to my head, the other part of me says "Battle On2 but needs must.  By the way,. I'm not looking at the screen whilst I'm typing this, it's too painful.

In reply to Beverly (msg # 167):

Please, Take care of your self and I can move along the game with assumed actions and of course also shift so you can recover and gather posts and post as needed.   I had my real life issues so I know.  The game will always be around for all as I plan to be around too.

I'lll wait for Bree and Istarma posyts on your campaign then go from there.

The other campaign, well you have time to get back in play  :)

Game on

Putting this in all my games....Happy Fathers  Day  To all the fathers  as well as Mothers  who must also be fathers!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 169):

Kree, wow you are up way too early :)

Yes, Happy Fathers Day to all and yes 100 exp to everyone.

Now off to do yard work and wait to get called into work, volunteered so the mom n dads with kids at home could spend the day with there kids - mines 900+ miles away so no worries there.

In reply to GM (msg # 170):

everyone gets 100 exp.

Man, 2 100 exp payments in two days, man my exp funds tree is getting lean.

Remember to add your experience up peeps.

In reply to GM (msg # 171):

Wasn't that why you were having a break, to refill the xp pool?
Besides, Wednesday 21st June is Litha or to you lot, the Summer Solstice.

As your nights get longer, may you remember that it means you have more time for RP.

Blessed Be

In reply to Yardly (msg # 172):

That would be Alban Hefin ("The Druidic name for the Summer Solstice is Alban Hefin, which means the 'The Light of the Shore' or 'Light of Summer'." Wikipedia).

In reply to Beverly (msg # 173):

The nights get longer then start to shorten but this weekend ended up being shortened since I went to my dads and never opened up a computer.   I should have time tomorrow to get a DM post out.

cheers

Putting this in all the games i am in... Happy  4th   to all my  Family and friends..adn Happy Tuesday to our friends else  were!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 175):

Zip Bang Boom, Happy July 4th to all and my usual 100 exp bonus for the days celebrations.

Thank you! Happy 4th of July!!

Thank you

Happy July 4th everyone!

In reply to Diana (msg # 179):

OK, so the fourth came and went and nope, I had no monsters working that day to post sooo I'll work with my union and get a post out soon.  Monsters  geesshhh

Monsters eh! Can't live with em, get funny looks if you kills them lol

In reply to Beverly (msg # 181):

Alright...!  Dungeon Master, since you asked me to roll a whole heaping helping of dice the last time I cast sleep (out of context, that almost sounds bad!), I went ahead and done did it again.

In reply to Istarma (msg # 182):

Oh I love when you all roll dice and lots pf them - :)

Summer is heating up - I was in Florida and it was hot and now back home up north and it is hpt so for those that can enjoy it but be safe in it.

CANNONN BALLL!!!!!

Sorry, I have no signal most of the time, I'm at LARP.

Didn't see last few posts. Will post when Time-Out called if can get a signal.

I was sure I'd posted already but nothing showing.

In reply to Istarma (msg # 182):

Sleep...oh, I need dome of that.

In reply to Beverly (msg # 185):

OOC - Awesome your LARPing it.   Do not worry about posting till you can.  Have fun and enjoy your time.

The Dungeon Master teached me to be on my toes with the dice in this game!

And, yeah, it's pretty warm in Washington State, too... and I lived in Florida, so I have a standard of comparison!

In reply to Istarma (msg # 187):

Which part of Washington state?

Do you have gills and webbing?

When a baby is born, does the doctor slap the baby's ass, and then pour water over the face to check for gills and then look at the hands for webbing?

Or are you in Eastern Washington?  :)

I lived in Tacoma, and western Washington for 13 years, 1977 to 1990.

Came north with my family from California.  I swear, within a year, I grown gills, and webbing.  :)

In reply to Diana (msg # 188):

Ohh, Florida was wetter than Western Washington could ever hope to be, by my experience!  4PM on the dot, you've got rain in Florida; here, in Washington?  Cute sprinkler system in comparison.

In reply to Istarma (msg # 190):

True, I was in Orlando in Feburary, that's true.

How long have you been in Western Washington?

Just wait.  It will rain, and rain, and rain and rain.

LOL, sounds like you are in UK with this LOL (I know you aren't though)

Ten and a half years, so far!  I got to act all snobbish when we got those snowstorms in 2019.  "Oh, this is nothing, go to Northern Illinois!"


I think these big fellers we're playing with are a bit heartier than 4 Hit Dice!  Either that, or Istarma's spell was more exciting than calming... If she were an Enchanter, she'd have the presence of mind to make White Noise sounds while casting it!

It's just like that where I live, and it's winter time around here, too. Joyful cold gray rainy days.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 194):

Like I said, when a baby is born, the doctor slaps his butt, but then pours water on his face, to make sure his gills are active, and then checks his hands for webbing.  :):)

Hi peeps, just a reminder, it's coming up to that time of year again when I'm away camping for almost a week, which if for a 4 day LARP event.
The last weekend of August, from the Wednesday before until the Tuesday, my posting my be non-existent or sporadic.

This has been the same for 19 years now, yep, this is 20th 'Renewal' LARP event with Curious Pastimes.

In reply to Yardly (msg # 196):

Mine too ;-)

very neat.. we  never  had  anything like that here.. I don't think My late wife  would  have went along  with it..I tried to get her into gaming , but she  didn't understand the lure. Its neat yiu guys have that!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 198):

Cool have fun.  No worries if posting is slow, I kinda am the king of that rioght now :(

But Yup, DM is still here, still working long hours to pay for the next set of monsters for you all to meet n great.

Till then, everyone enjoy 100 exp beause its hot hot hot out there :)

In reply to GM (msg # 199):

Not for another 4wks :-)

"large dark car/oanther maybe emerges holding a cub in her mouth"
Now it makes sense, a Cat/Panther.  I read this and my head started spinning and thought it was another Ogre or Orc with their baby.  I thought it was strange lol

In reply to Yardly (msg # 201):

OOC - Typing is not my strong point but glad you figured it out.

Not mine either but I'd GREAT at reading Typo, usually lol

I really...really hate to admit this. But i almost.. All i know is Kree is trying kill bad  guys  at the wagons?

For thoe who don't  game  elsewhere  with Aoife...

 yesterday was her  RL B-day!!!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 205):

Thanks for passing that along - wish her a happybirthday for the gang here.

Yay! Congrats, Aoife!!!

Thanks guys!! Low key celebration with my little family! :)

In reply to Aoife o Eachthianna (msg # 208):

Happy Birthday

Hope you had a good birthday

In reply to Beverly (msg # 210):

Happy (very) belated birthday!

My schedule at work is returning to 2PM-1030PM this Monday (28th of August, 2023), so my posts will come at different times of the day, but they will still come.

In reply to Istarma (msg # 211):

No worries istarma.  As you can see Ive been away from my DM desk in Cancun recruiting more “things that go bump in the night” for all to enjoy.    Evil DM chuckle.

ok?   'lastly to the more serous guy " is that Kree , or some oneelse?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 213):

Think about it Kree, you are serious about a lot of things   chuckle......

yeah? But  i had to seriously  think about it....sooooo

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 215):

There you go, it suites you well like seriously man

seriously speaking, he  is serious about something, that have  had serious  implications and Serious  effects on  the group, so he has to seriously thing   about the serious stuff, seriously!

LOL
Seriously Man ;-)

I get #6 but who is #5 ?

Diana's  cat?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 220):

Bandit is considered more then a familure.  Maybe a side kick but is being treated like a group member of a different sort since Bandit was not magically created.  He gets experience too  :)

In reply to GM (msg # 221):

Kewl!  :)

In reply to GM (msg # 221):

I had a feeling it was for Bandit :-)
Like a Hire lingerie, 1/2 XP etc.

Ok?  its way past  when it happened, but  did we get to search the wagons>

Hi dear DM, it's in the Party Loot post. I got 1 long sword, 1 shield, the 2 handed sword and the 7 rings from this list:

2 suites of plate mail glow magical Weak power
7 shields glow magical Weak power
5 Long swords glow magical Weak power
2 scimitars glow magical Weak power
1 two handed sword glows magical Weak power
1 crossbow glows magical Weak power
7 rings glow magical Weak power

 Happy Labor  Day  for everyone  in the states ( My Dad used to call it 'labor-less day' since we had off of work!

for  folks outside the US, take the  day off, tell your Boss , Kree said  so.

I seem to have missed this one.

Did anyone read magic and see what the magic is on each?

Hey, Bev and Dirk, do you want I should sleep them creeps?

Yes

In reply to Beverly (msg # 229):

I love it when a plan comes together, and when spiders who at first didn't want to listen to Istarma's stories that go nowhere* get all wrapped wrapped up and cozy!

* - Lessons in wizardry have prevented her from a future of telling long stories that go nowhere, much like Grampa Simpson.

In reply to Istarma (msg # 230):

OOC - To all my gamers in campaigns out there - I will do my best to update posts by Friday - and for your patients every one gets 100 Exp (I am sure I owe it too you all)

Cheers and nighty night  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well, Friday is The Festival of Mabon, you'd know it as the Autumn Equinox.
Thank you for the gift.

Cool! It's Spring Equinox here. And, eh, October has a Friday the 13th!

In reply to GM (msg # 231):

Ooh, neat!

It's a really lucky day (unless you are a Knight's Templar)

In reply to Yardly (msg # 235):

I'm aware of that, yeah.

I knew I liked you :-)

BTW... ***COVID again***

my oldest daughter  works as a COTA, she has had it twice, but the fact  that she was Vaxxed. made it pass  quickly

My younger daughter , last year, came up from NC.she decided to fly..she had a 12 hour layover at  airport in DC..she caught covid, and  'quarntined her self in my room,  no one else here  caught it, but hers passed  qui8ckly as well.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 238):

Gads that Corona is passing through again, man need that lemon or was it a lime ....

Saty safe, get better and all that jazz.

Yea yea yea, I'll get more posting out this weekend.  I think the monsters have hijacked all my time......sorry about that.

In reply to Yardly (msg # 237):

Thanks :D I hope ya get better quickly ma dude!

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 240):

Seem to be getting better, have Antibiotics. Gf appears to have it now though :-/
I missed one Mabon Festival Ritual yesterday, doing my own today (actual day) and may have to miss Mondays (that's 2 feasts of pie and peas with mixed fruit pie and custard. I know, you feel my pain (or was that stomach pain lol)

In reply to Yardly (msg # 241):

That's the worst part: missing the feasts.

My belly doesn't think so lol

So ...... I've been off work with COVID for the last 7 days, I thought it was just a cold to start with but it got worse, a LOT worse.

I've made the decision, I Won't be going into work or the gym beforehand tomorrow.  So tired but the coughing fits are less.  Don't think it right to go back just yet even though I don't get paid if I'm not in work.  Stupid COVID.

I have a  friend, graduated  with me..his older brother   aught  Co Vid  while getting something esle taken care of..it  killed him in the end.

He  went in the VA in pittsburgh. to get some tests  done, and while he was there, he heard the  Nurses  screwing  around ,laughing  and talkign about one of thier people out  with Covid.

the one  guy said, 'hell with that, I'm going to work "  I buggy wired out on them , and the Doctor  and  called the Admins.. because he was  saying they  put him at risk.

 He has  a very tiny fuse?..but i can see his point.My oldest was off  for  4  days  until her second test  said she was ok

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 245):

Jeez... Taht's awful!

The school I work at as a custodian JUST NOW got more tests, after how long of not having any?  Too long, in any case.  I've been whole-assing it, including drenching touch points with Oxivir, especially with news of that H2N3 bug out in India...   :'(

I work in the hospital (not a nurse or doctor...waaaaaaayyy too much schooling...and I hate school) and I have managed to dodge whatever strand of COVID that is out now. I did catch the Omicron variant a couple years ago when I worked at the preschool...it was awful. I could deal with the couching and such...but not the fact that it felt like I was drowning in my own mucus...awful.

In reply to Aoife o Eachthianna (msg # 247):

Yeah, this new variant seems to be going back to the struggling with breathing again, which I had last week on Tuesday/Wednesday when I thought it was still a cold.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 245):

Not good.
Hope you keep at it and remembering those who have left us, to help you get through your pains.

In reply to Beverly (msg # 249):

Yikes you all stay and get better and take care of this COVID fight.  I try to stay safe but it is hard to do now in my area as most people just go about normal like nothing is happening.

I'll do my best this weekend while I am on a cruise to not be in the petry dish and on that note, no posting from me till  monday niht so everyione get better or stay better.

In reply to GM (msg # 250):

Enjoy your cruise. Big ship or your boat?

In reply to Beverly (msg # 251):

She was the Indepence of the Seas  RCCL.  =Mid to small.   3 day cruises are too short other then party and weekend get away.

Now I should be able to get some posting done as I am back at my daughters in Kissimee.

In reply to GM (msg # 252):

Hey all, last minute family emergency took me away till now so I will post Monday night your next rounds   hope all had a great weekend.

In reply to GM (msg # 253):

Was getting concerned. Not like you.
Hope everyone is OK recovered or getting better.

My Birthday now (00:01 Monday 9th October).
Happy Birthday to me lol

Happy birthday Yardly!

May your ancestors and the spirits of those you learnt from, answer your calls, at least until they cross the veil once more.
Blessed Be

Blessed Be indeed :-)

Did I miss the XP for our Thread?  I don't seem to have added any Enemy killed XP for quite some time.

hey guys, bad news.

Computer will be in the shop for the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Posting will be limited and scattered at best.

So, please post for Diana and Bandit, but don't get them killed.  :)

Thanks

Katny

In reply to Diana (msg # 265):


What??  Me kill characters, never  :)    Hope your computer gets fixed up and runs like new.

I will run them bast I can and if you do jump in, you can correct or add to an action best we can to work it.  I mean you are just fighting some Orcs

In reply to Diana (msg # 265):

Are you in the UK where you can access Rpol quite well on a smart phone? For some reason, I've read a lot of comments in different games that in the USA, this isn't as easy.

in my games, most folks  access it off  a lap top or  desktop or even a tablet...I , myself used  a tablet when my computer was down.  and i used a phone   once when i was  waiting on granddaughter  to  finish cross-country practice.

one charter Member of  my..soon-to-be  13 year space games, uses his  phone often when he has down time at work.. and  many of the other players who are 'caught up' in a moment   use Phones.. for my part, and what they say, its not as much  fun  as on a laptop or Desktop.. but it does  due in a pinch to stay active.

Although I usually have a laptop near me (my job demands that), sometimes I'm just off somewhere enjoying some mini burgers at Outback, for example and posting here from my cell phone. Not as much fun as from a lappy, but it does serve the job well. ;)

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 269):

Phone is tough as I've had to really enlarge the screen but it is do able.  Of course I don't use my phone unless it is the only option and I have internet access.



Oh, I think I owe some experience for some holiday or another so

everyone gets 100 exp

I'm laid on my front having Acupuncture and a massage whilst typing this :-)

I hate posting on my phone...it's just a big inconvenience. I can do it if I need to but I prefer to use my desktop or my Surface.

In reply to Aoife o Eachthianna (msg # 272):

DM goes yikes, I have been slacking in posting turns or actions so I hope to get batter after I digest Thanksgiving food.

So

Pre Thanksgiving bonus experience = 100 exp to all

Enjoy and try not to spend all your expereince at one place.

Happy Thanksgiving, (or thursday !)

In reply to GM (msg # 273):

Happy Turkey Day
Happy Thanks Giving Day
Happy Thor's Day

Happy thanksgiving!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful time!

My computer is back!!!!
Yeah!!!!!!
Turns out it wasn't as serious as thought and was rather easily fixed.

Wahooooo!!!!

So what did I miss?

YAY

You missed 2 x 100XP (Which reminds me, I haven't added those yet.  I may have gone up a level hehehe).

In reply to Yardly (msg # 279):

Oh....My....Goodness!!!!  I've finally gone up a level :-)  (Takes twice as long for Yardly to go up in levels due to his race and the benefits that come with it.
Don't worry GM, I haven't updated the level yet as he hasn't slept and recounted the escapades of the event as it's still the same day since xp was gained.

OH Yardly, a ghostly hand slaps you across your faces as you wash and you feel your life forces drain away looking down you see your essence mix with the water washing away into the void.   So about that level gain    oh  evil DM chuckle.  Glad to hear your leveld.  Let me know if I need to roll anything for you or need gueidence form the DM at 1000 exp per support question  :)


Hope all had a great weekend as I will get back into the shwing of posting for you all in each of my running camapings and get er done.

If my words or sentences don't seem to make sense, please let me know and bare with me, the meds for the back and neck pain sometimes make me a wobblehead. Using my mobile to type doesn't do many favours either.

In reply to Yardly (msg # 283):

Never worry, i'll do my best and if i need clarifiction or what not ill ask   that goes for all.

Thank you

In case I didn't say this already: Hi folks!

Well met

In reply to Cemira Katase (msg # 286):

Hello :-)

Hi and welcome!

Hi there! Welcome!

Just a heads up...my posts might become slow(er). December is a hell of a party month (4 birthdays, xmas dinner then left overs lunch, new year's dinner then left overs lunch) and a lot of stuff going on at work (those damn hackers won't give you a sec to breath). As usual, if I don't post anything in a week span, feel free to npc Senuviel accordingly. Alas, I'm not even able to access rpol from my office, gotta do it through my cellphone network.

have fun, enjoy the holiday times

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 292):

If it helps, I'll be rushed off my feet all this and next week. This week preparing for next. I have 9 Yule festivals to run over 5 days lol

In reply to Yardly (msg # 294):

no worries hope you  have a best time you can and post when you have time.  ill npc best i can for you.

posts may be delayed myself as i visit my kid this week  but the weekend ill catch up :)

In reply to GM (msg # 295):

OK, the DM or GM or fool running this show is back to be able to post again.   I guess I'll get myself on a posting schedule to get something out each weekend.

Sorry but here goes.....

Dec  23rd..  all  the gaming will be on the responsive site. In the game i run. I  told  my players we will starting using  it, to give us a fee days to get used to the controls  and such.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 297):

What's the "Responsive Site"?

on your  Main menu... right at the top there is a little  announcement for the responsive site... I clicked on it and saved the link.. i go there now and then. you'll see people who have posted there..if you are here, ebcause there is some'odd' characters  that pop up.

 i messed arund over there.. even bumped my games  add two weeks  ago..its   the same as here..the hard part  is getting used to the new format.. once you get that down , it will be the same

let me know if you don't  see/can find it.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 299):

OOC - DM looks confused at he laptop sitting precariously on his lap then grumbles about new tech changes and looks to see what this is all about.........

... Happy Winter Solstice !!!

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 301):

Ditto!

In reply to Diana (msg # 302):

OOC - OK, now that day passed I relaized I shorted you the shorted day by 100 Exp points  so

EVERYONE Gets 100 Exp :)


OOC New and Old players - I may not give out a ton of exp per adventure/event often but I do love my experience point gifts as it balances out my bad DM math :)

::chuckles::  I haven't added  any of those one myself. I  thought the GM  did that?  so , I don't know where that puts  Kree....in the end, I'm in it for the RP. and growing the character

ok?  its the  23rd..make sure you have  all made transition to the responsive  site.

In reply to GM (msg # 303):

TY!

I can't see where you mean about going to a responsive site.
(I have no idea if I'm already there now how to test it)...
This message was last edited by the player at 16:17, Sat 23 Dec 2023.

one the main page, trhere is a little  banner  that says  'winter..cvrossed out..Responsive site is coming. Today  is the last day for the old  site..Both sites  have the same  Info.. they just have a  'newer  faster version.

I didn't like it at first..I tweaked  the   back  round  a bit  ..i made it  dark..it  much better..all the tools are still there, Just have to get used to using it.

I had my games start using it on the 20th so my people could get used to it

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 307):

TY!
I've got "Thank you for testing out the new responsive site for RPoL." across the top, so it seems I'm already there, but no idea since when. Ha!

In reply to Cemira Katase (msg # 308):

Oh crap like man I guess I have to figure that out too.

OK everbody hang on  I am going to look into this new site and see what happens.

Bummer Kree and anybody else.  I do not post your exp to the character sheet (NPC's have been left behind to there  opps - but true to Kree RP is the main fun here.   I mean I can hire a monster's Ince and get you more buggers to deal with then my motly crew I hire out.  snic

OOC - So this is supposed to be better  hhmmm    Welp lets see - everybody look to go to the new site so I dont loose you as I will too.

yeah? some of my players have been on there   since last year!..i said heck with it..but...no choice now..a Player pointed out, and I checked, he was right..the date is  27th now..


here are My thoughts.. I hated the   stark white   and grey.. i went to preferences  and  got  Dark back round with  DK green as my  text color..it  looks Great...stay away from pastel!...any DK  gives you black  with  whatever text color you choose. now for writing like this..its  white text..the prefinances  also allow you to 'test it"

The tols  are spread about, a bit? i do have some problems finding things... PMs   i have to thing 'where would it be for something"..but? everytime i find the answer.. its  a step forward...just like when i cam here is   2005.

ok..GM  from here forward i will add the  XPs  as they come.. I thought you were doing it  and I didn't want to 'double dip!'

 Its all good..the site change is just  some  rough waters... we'll come out the other side together.

Stonehenge was great.  Except when my mobile hit the floor and now I can't read the screen.  Hence slower than usual posting.

I still haven't gone to the new site, am I too late?  Will this not be seen?
None of my other games are pushing this.  "Ah, Push it, P'Push it real good"
This message was last edited by the player at 18:54, Sun 24 Dec 2023.

 the  old site banner  says  dec 27th now? I honestly don't know what happens, whether  iut goes  dark, or you just have problems there?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 313):

"There"?  I'm still in the normal site, I can't see anywhere to go otherwise.

below is the  mini banner on the main page of the old site

Winter Responsive is coming! The modern and responsive site is coming December 27th. Familiarise yourself with the experience and start using it today at https://r.rpol.net.

Oh, I wasn't looking there in the menu lol
On it now... the word Winter is crossed out.

It's rather awkward to navigate and slow.

In reply to Beverly (msg # 317):

Well, on new site posting this but I assume it shows up on the old site too until they turn that off.   I'll make sure when I post in the new site everyone sees the posting.  I'll leave a link in our OOC if I can also that may work to help those that jump on after and maybe that will help them get here.

In reply to GM (msg # 318):

ON old site and saw/read my post from new site but here is the link.  I'll post it then see if it works

https://r.rpol.net/

I guess copy this link and try to log in.....

Woo hoo great  now roll your hit die 3 times and take the highest roll and add it to your hit points.   Looks like you will need it.

Anyone else make the next level please up date sheet, roll hp and so forth.

OOC - Yup, 2023 exp points.  I know a lot of you may level so please up date character sheet.  Its a lot of experience but I think you all deserve it yes even the newbees.  It makes up for any shortages from the past or future :)

ok?  hit  dice  3 times?..wow...
