So where does a poor, hungry, broke journeyman mage go to learn such? ;-)


[Private to GM: Actually if we use $1,000 as starting money, he should have around $335 left... although he'd not be scrounging for jobs if he had that much. I'll gladly assume it's been used up as he has gone looking for work. ]

Re: Out of Character 8

For the Al Menir thread, could you provide a bit of guidance on the finer politics?  A bit of light reading told me that a man should not be treating a woman with dishonor like this, according to the Bedouin codes.  However, I'm not sure how much of that is accurate and appropriate to the setting you have created.  Could you provide some insight so the character's Code of Honor can be accurately portrayed?

This guy seems to be running on a variant of the code coupled with overconfidence and either the chauvinism quirk or full on intolerance. He is very much the sort who would have joined Bokor Haram, or the kind of Taliban member who would shoot someone for trimming their beard, being morevtraditionalist and self righteous than someone actually devout.

Most folks who want to learn spells go to the Guild and see Spielgud -- but "broke" makes that a problem...

You could ask Berry to ask her mentor to help teach you spells.

"We find that Hell is a purely voluntary organization, and that those who wish easily acquired power will find their way to us more rapidly through simple use of said power than by formal contract. That aside, perhaps you would like to enter a less than casual arrangement?"

Work was a bear today. 11 fluoro cases make a full day, today I had 17, and the bosses bought everyone lunch for tech week, but the food was gone by the time I got to it.

(It is, of course Rad tech week, because on November 8, 1895, Willhem von Roentgen plugged a Crooke's tube in backwards because he didn't  bother to read the manual, and ended up discovering Xray when stray shit in his lab started to fluorece.)



All first world problems, of course, but a pain in the ass just the same</rant>

Berry has a formal arrangement because she doesn't trust anyone who won't set terms for the afterlife.

Jareth sold his rock & roll for knowledge...  so that's a thing.

Re: Out of Character 8

Hi everybody.

The GM has given me permission for this post.  I ask first.

I am in another Gurps game.  It been running for a while but we lost few players along the way.  Only two left at the moment but game allows for any size party.

The game is your a computer gamer from our world been ported into Skyrim (so like tron if that means anything).  Someone messing with gaming codes and possible to move into other games.

So it magic, swords Skyrim and you can sort play yourself or anybody you like from this world.

Link below.

Re: Out of Character 8

Sounds like a concept that could be either very good or quite bad, depending on the players and GM.

As it stands, though, I'm already playing four characters in Northport and building another; in two local D&D5 games, doing amateur radio stuff, and playing Kerbal Space Program in the gaps.  Which is to say, sleep is the next thing to shave time from, and I can't shave any time from sleep or my hour drive each way to work could get very bad.

Just asking, what is the point rang? Most of us have built ourselves in the Stat yourself thread... and you are welcome to do so as well.

Also, in this town, don't  call the cops. They aren't  nice.

A large amount of low impact critters can be fought in stages, by people with normal weapons, while magic helps, people do get along without it. Don't  overthink

I've got, what, two days experience in this?  He talks in riddles, and not the kind the Brothers used to use that made sense if you came at them the right way.  "Enrobed in ectoplasm" indeed...
