Indeed she is... having thrown the fireball at the big spider...

What's so wrong with throwing fireballs at giant spiders?

Nothing, really, unless the spider is friendly.

I was just reminding Clarence that I had been there all along.

Well, he does have the light in his eyes...  ;)

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 914):

Sorry, was working a double, I may get to a couple tonight, resume tomorrow.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 915):

My apologies to all, work was too hectic to post today, I am at an anti gun protest tomorrow, and my usual after work posting time is compromised because my wife has been working from home, meaning I don't  have the 90 minutes between my getting out of work and her finishing her commute.

There will be some fighting for most groups very soon, most of you are optimized for it.

No worries.  Ain't none of us going no where.  This is the longest running game I've been in on rpol.  Every other one has folded within a few months at most (many within weeks), so your dedication and staying power is appreciated.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 917):

A few months? While this may be the longest running, I have been in a few that have been going a few years at least...including the only one I started on here for ages in May 2015.

But he is right in that we are not going anywhere!

Good, stable GMs are few and far between as far as I can tell.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 919):

Yeah, but there are a couple. Plenty of short lived ones, I agree. Too many...

northport is very well done.

Won't argue with that.  I've been very happy with the way this game runs, even if it does take months to get through a few days of game time.

if this game weren't so well done, and so rich in story and detail, i wouldn't be able to deal with the slow goings. GM has alot of balls in the air, so kudos for all that has been put into this fine gaming experience.

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 923):

It does not always go this slow, but there are more threads now than ever as far as I can remember! Maybe we need to start pitting PCs vs PCs to thin the crowd!

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 924):

I should be on after I do this portable run (taking xrays in patient rooms) my morning got killed by a fellow GURPS enthusiast who took issue with my profile pic taken at yesterdays antigun protest... he hit every right wing talking point and sent me gun videos... I won't even allow black powder in my games. Smh.


Meanwhile the closest thing to a school shooter in this game is Christine,  and as far as the trolls are concerned,  the guild sends thoughts and prayers.

So... wait... Christine was a troll who got picked on a lot and grew up to be a not-troll and came back to take revenge on them a'la Carrie style?

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 926):

Lol, no. Christine is an elf who was quite willing to kill trolls for cash! For that matter, she is probably not particularly fussy who she kills for cash as long as they are not part of nature, like elves. Too many of these destructive sentient buggers anyway...

It... it was a joke.  le sigh...

;)


I dunno, some of them are mos def fun to have around.  So I'd vote for not killing all the non-elves, even if they are all lesser species.


Speaking of lessers..

When did Mel stop being murderous?  Or is it just that it's a cute Schnauzer sized spider (which is clearly brilliant enough to have found that tiny, minuscule portion of her heart that feels pity for doggos and has played right into it).  I mean it's not like it's natur...  err... hmmm.  Hang on.

PM fired off.  There might be a sudden shift in Jareth's mood concerning the wholesale slaughter of the spoders...

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 928):

Glad to help you discover yourself, Jareth!

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 928):

Well lets see ... she is an elf ... and it is an animal, one showing some intelligence too. And it hasn't pinched her ass, tried to feel her up, grabbed her and tried to kiss her or suggested they go procreate in the corner like so many bipedal assholes have.  So yeah... she is sort of protective of it.

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 930):

Be back on tomorrow

I'm fine with not killing the spoders, if we can be reasonably sure they aren't just waiting for a better opportunity to paralyze us and wrap us in silk for later consumption.

Well... they're Natural.  To an extant.  Enough so that two members of the Party actually have to act to not only not kill them (oops with that Stench and saying "Shoot any you see") but try to keep them safe* (so the Stench cloud should confine the majority of them away from us).


* as long as they aren't actively attacking us.

Spent the day digitally editing demons. Back on tomorrow
