Sounds frightening !  Happy All-of-the-Above !  :>

Happy Birth-I-Versary week to you! To you!

Thank you folks :)

Birthday present from my wife was a full sized shield, covered in leather with a Celtic Boar carved onto it and Celtic patterns around the outside.  It will go well with the Weapon Rack (Sword and Spears) that we are having built in the stairwell  :)

Happy birthday :)

In reply to DM (msg # 897):

That's really awesome! I would love to see a picture!

Also awesome that she's such a fan of Cyrus :p

Have you seen my DM avatar?  It is one of the pictures I put into the image library. As a challenge (But not for Andalon or Percy who may already know) there is actually a RL picture of me in the image bank as well. 5xp reward and half a cookie if you can identify it

I have used the Boar has been my symbol / totem for years :) - I have an impressive collection of Pig/Swine related knick-knacks and for a while I was a Commander in the Order of the Knights Porcine.  (long story)

The only on-line image of the shield is on FB - and I can't get to social media from this computer.  I'll see what I can do this evening.

Hahaha! Yes I have seen your avatar. A few thousand times :)

That should do it.    I think I have the image set for public.

Awesome!

Very nice! Well done Ari.  :o)

... and now I want a weapon rack in the hallway too. ;o)

I will pass on your comments  :)  However, the Weapon Rack probably won't be there for a few months yet, my decorator / Carpenter  is working P/T on this project around her other job (helping teach traditional boat building skills).

I am sure she would be interested in doing a similar job for you, Andalon.  While I can put a word in for you and get her 'friend' rates - the expenses might be a deal breaker :)

As always, living a cooler life than us here in the states ;)

Strangely enough, my wife doesn't seem as thrilled with the idea of a weapons rack in the hallway as I was. ;o)

I am always grateful that my wife sees many things in the same light as I do.

Have you guys seen this? They're doing a Kickstarter to make a PC isometric game (ala Baldur's Gate) for the Kingmaker Adventure Path.

Yep.  I saw it on the Paizo boards a couple of days ago.

Now if only they could make it a proper multi-player - like an old NWN persistent world ....

.... I suppose all we need is a few dozen NWN coders and we could make our own :)

Wouldn't that be lovely?

Ok.  Final write up of the Stronghold rules at

http://rp.baileymail.net/doku....ms:strongholds:start

None of the core concepts have changed, just been tweaked a bit.

variant rule sets for Businesses, Merchants and Organisations (religions, colleges) will be with you shortly.  I know how they work, just need to write them up more fully.

Looks good, I'm looking forward to seeing it in action.

re: the recent fort stag post;
Can I stand on the wall at g10
does the owlbear seem to have picked any targets?
does the red 'S' look like they are leaving or taking cover?
are the gates open or closed?
how do you open/close the gates?

Can I stand on the wall at g10 - Yes.  Although the wall  is very uneven and you only get half movement rate when moving across it.

does the owlbear seem to have picked any targets? Nope.  It is just mad with everyone and everything

does the red 'S' look like they are leaving or taking cover?  Probably trying to climb over the wall.

are the gates open or closed?  Closed

how do you open/close the gates?  That needs careful inspection to work out.  It seems to be some sort of three layer affair.

Owlbear friend!!!

I'm going to get Pipre an owlbear friend or die trying.  Possibly the second one is more likely.

I'll die first :)

Oh please oh please. I'll name it Nutmeg :3

Now I'm afraid to attack the target that I should attack the most for fear of other player retribution. Meanwhile, I'm toast if everyone continues to gang up on me...

Pipre's pet or my cloak, it's ending one of two ways
