Well done!

Whooo hooo, new thread!  I call shotgun!

Knock 'em dead girl!

Only if you have shotgun proficiency.

To dangle a girl is all well and fun,
But if she has a brother, you better run.
I'm down in the bottom of the well.
Its late, and its night, and there's no rope to climb. I'm down in the bottom of the well.
I'll stop now.

If I use buckshot, I am almost guaranteed to hit somethingone!

 Story time.
When I got my first shotgun, and went out for lessons, for the certification, I was with a group of seven. Four of them couldn't hit the paper target with bird shot, let alone the 9mm shot.  My first turn was messy, but it hit.   Oh, and those four, we are talking for the whole class.

Shush. Fictional buckshot is much more fun than real life buckshot.

In most games I can hit 2-3 people with a shotgun at 7 yds.

Irl my Remington 870 throws a pattern about the size of the palm of my hand at 7yds (With 00). It would be bigger with birdshot (#8 for the curious) but still way smaller than a cheap paper plate.

The general mayhem of rpg shotguns is just plain more exciting.

New thread!  New thread!

 Right, I'm going to need to pick the brain of the collective.

I'm helping a DM run a game, because his aid is off due to family stuff.  I need an image for a long-running NPC, just for the party's mental benafit, that's orcish, male and bald,   If anyone is useing an image or knows of an image that fits these characteristics... could you kindly give me the tag number?

MCM341 might work.

mfd089 has an overweight bald orc or half-orc in banded armor.
mfd300 also has a sad or contemplative bald orc in a breastplate.
mfd416 has an angry bald orc barbarian with leather bandoleers.
mfd585 has a dour looking bald half-orc in a cloak clasped with a brooch.

Thank you both, I'll snatch one of these and run.

There's a 5gp Gang Green royalty on snatch and flee jobs. Just sayin'. ;)

Or is this a kidnapping? We need to know for our bookkeeping.

And the requisite paperwork will cost extra, naturally.

Some of the adjectives for half-orcs are clearly redundant: dour, angry, bald, etc. Clearly those should be taken as given, and only exceptional cases explicitly mentioned - jovial, eccentric, intellectual with an umbrella, and the like.

My wizard in my Strange Aeons game carries an umbrella, as he is quite mad, his name is appropriately Zagyg! I stole one from Gary himself!

Hey all,

I had to make a sudden trip to my parents' house, sans notes. I'll be back at it on Sunday.

We shall await the sun's return, with hope that all will be well in the Sun's journey. We shall fight the dark with fires and candles.

Translation: May the DM's journey be safe, and we hope all is well with family.

@DM - I hope you have a nice weekend.

It was a 'help the parents' weekend but it went okay.

Updating all tomorrow.

Way cool that it was a help the parents weekend Jeff, rather than an emergency.

In reply to Hauraki (msg # 22):

Yes, good to hear.

The hint of judgemental reproach made me smile:

No offence taken; I like it. Evaga wouldn't even notice if it was said to her face. One advantage of being socially inept.
