Re: Minutia

Oh I agree, but keep in mind those students were playing up the stereotype, which means lots of blood, torn clothes and open wounds. I don't doubt they'd have looked like major accident victims, I'm just saying that 'natural' fresh zombies wouldn't look like that until several weeks to a month or so in.

Re: Minutia

Since most (if not all of you) are in my Macross era game you know that I've lost my motivation to post/GM.

If I get back into thing I'll only be running two games. This one will be one of them.

Re: Minutia

Sweet that is great to hear....I am really enjoying the game.  Not only your running of the game but also the others and interacting with their characters.

Re: Minutia

I asked the GM if it was okay if I did a little recruiting for a Palladium Fantasy game I will be running.  He said it was okay...so well here it is.

The game name is "We are Bound", starting off as a low powered campaign with the end goal being a robust story.  Someone has already joined, so two or three more would be great.  If you are interested or not, it is all good.  Just putting it out there to you guys and gals since the experience with all of you so far has been positive.

Link to game?

Oh can I run a Titan Longbowman who has javalin sized arrows? There is a scene in Game of Thrones where a giant hit this dude with an arrow and it was pretty epic.

Re: Minutia

In reply to Darkside Trooper (msg # 892):

If you're using D&D 3.5 with the Bloodlines rule, the Titan Bloodline on Major gives Use Oversized Weapon (Ex) at 12th "as the Titan ability"

quote:
Oversized Weapon (Ex)

A titan wields a great, two-handed warhammer (big enough for Gargantuan creatures) without penalty.


Of course, RAI a Titan is Huge so it's actually allowing one to use two-handed weapons as if they were a size category larger than they actually are... RAW however it means you can have a Tiny Fairy wielding a Gargantuan-sized 4d8 two-handed warhammer. In 3.5 weapon weight doubles every size category you go up so it should only weigh like 20 pounds.

Who cares the thing's bigger than a Storm Giant :P

Great to hear from you1 Looks like we're ready to go. James hasn't checked in, but unless he never ended up going to Alaska (mechanical issue?) turned around or otherwise came back, his story is going to progress along different lines anyways.

Re: Minutia

Robotech anyone?

Most of the players are already in my Robotech game, but for those who are interested in a sci-fi game set in space that has a naturalist Sci-fi feel to it (i.e. the new Battlestar Galactica show, or The Expanse)  I have room.

Any new players would have character who start at level one.

Re: Minutia

Happy early Veterans Day to all my fellow U.S. veterans here in this game!

Tonight tho is a special night for myself and all other U.S. Marines as we celebrate the 241st birthday of the United States Marine Corps.

Last but not least I thank everyone for not uttering a single word about the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. I think this is in most part because we come here together to game in order to escape the world we live in. When we get together here on RPOL we don't care about each others political beliefs, gender, sexual preference/identity and social standing. We push all this stuff aside and just game. I would like this trend of not mentioning politics to continue, in fact lets just not post political stuff. If you want to discuss politics with me go find me on Facebook.

Happy Birthday to the Marine Corps and Happy Veteran's Day to all!  Funny how they're just a day apart...I believe the UK has the same Veteran's Day.

Re: Minutia

In reply to Isabel Tsang (msg # 904):

We (Canada, the UK and Commonwealth countries in general) have "Remembrance Day", which evolved out of "Armistice Day" marking the end of WWI. (Which ended in a cease-fire at the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.) Remembrance Day (also "Poppy Day" in the UK) is in honour of all soldiers, the living and the dead. (We do not have a separate "Memorial Day".)

Central to Remembrance Day is the poem "In Flanders Fields" by L. Col. Dr. John McRae:

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

Recited by musician Leonard Cohen, who passed away yesterday:

Re: Minutia

Well this is good news....
08:04, Today: Darkside Trooper, for the NPC The Major, rolled 72 using 1d100 with rolls of 72.  does he keep his word? 0-90 = yes.

As an FYI they other two characters getting rounded up. Herson's player took over an NPC, and another player came back. From an OOC standpoint, a simple case of mistaken identity is a great way to roll them in with the group. This of course doesn't mean you should have some objections in character.
