Understandable, Yeah.  While there are plenty of legitimate horror stories on the "Players being assholes and saying their alignment lets them" front, my own track record is more of the "GMs only want to metagame you every chance they get" when it comes to alignment, flaws, etc.

Usually claiming it's to promote roleplay/plot hook, and then dropping them like a ticking time bomb once it turns out to not inconvenience you as much as they had hoped.

Side plot to play bodyguard for a Vampire ensures.

"You're not roleplaying your disadvantage right!"
"What?"
"You hate all magical beings! You listed it as a disadvantage"
"That's 'Rumor: hates all magical beings'. You approved that yourself months ago."

Oh look, the side plot has suddenly been wordlessly abandoned.

I wish I had thought to in character joke 'They probably made me guard you hoping I'd fly off the handle and attack you for no reason.' when I had the chance.

Hilariously, that would have been non-meta in-character commentary because your character would likely have been keenly aware of the rumors about him. Always satisfying when you can make a meta comment without being meta. XD

he does it so well and its always so amusing.

For personal reference as I'm going to be drawing pictures with Justin, Darcy and Karl in them, how tall are each of them?

  Thanks, I have a lot of practice in being 'Straight man by comparison'.  By Comparison, such an amazing qualifier.

  Along with context.  For example "I threw a baby into the ocean"...  Because they tried to murder me, and nearly succeeded.  And throwing them into the ocean was the most effective harmless timeout given the mechanics.  DBZ is weird

  Big downside to my stylistic preferences is that it seems very, VERY Like it or Loathe it.  Usually it works out just fine, then you get people spiraling into a sarcastic meltdown and arguing with you that Jaguars can't swim because there are no technically real "problems" with your application.

  Though in that case, I abandoned finishing the app process (after the Main GM apologized up and down) due to the sudden, and in hindsight suspiciously timed, rules implementation of "2nd person posting format only. Some of our players get confused otherwise".

  Sorry, I gotta have my Sierra Game narrator.

Post number 1337!  I'm so elite!  :P

Also, alignment is there just for the sake of argument:

In reply to Tark (msg # 121):

hey nothing wrong with that. I better get some punful death moments if i die or someone else does.

To be fair, "Ooops, you missed one of the required items arlier in the game!" related deaths are always funnier when you can have multiple save files.

Younger me still not grasping the concept of "Copy protection gimmicks" took forever to make it past the intro to space quest 5 (I essentially played the series backwards at the time).  "Wait, wait... The fake newspaper galactic enquirer astrology article's fake star chart has coordinates next to the places they want me to go.  WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT!?"

kings quest six was at least interesting in how they did it.

Finally, they got the bugs out of this server.

BTW, I have some ideas on how Kenders can be in Æthercoil:  The rifts between the Earth and the Feywilds did more than just turned Earth into an OSR world, and give me some artistic license to screw with Geography when I need it, but also made temporary rifts to other worlds, as well as in other places on the timeline, as the Space-Time Continuum snapped back to normal.  (Think of Nature abhorring a Vaccum.) Some of these rifts were harmless, but in rare occasions, things and people can slip through these rifts while they were open.  Jamie Wisdomtouch is an example of someone falling through one of these rifts.

I'm thinking that Kenders might've came from Krynn to Æthercoil through another rifts.

Comments?

yeah that works. could also explain things like the animal folk too since aethercoil is built off the real world some.

Works for me. What's an OSR?

In reply to Chestnut (msg # 128):

It has two meanings:  Old School Rules (which 5th Edition pays homage to) and my definition, Old School Rennisaunce, the classic Middle-Ages Tolkien-esque world that D&D campaigns take place in, including Æthercoil.

Does anyone know what happened to Tim?  I haven't heard form him lately.

I'm here! Don't know how, but the one thread I'm up on was not left open on my browser (which is how I keep up to date for where I'm up). That said, Meiou is up on the other 2 threads.

Yeah was just waiting on you for that last one so dave could go and then i could triple post. we were gonna give ya to monday to notice or something before poking ya here.

Well I posted. So there! XD

I... what?

I was worried your life was getting unpleasantly busy again (Which I can relate to).  So while I'm glad that's apparently not the case, finding out two out of three threads were stopped because you only want to post when it's a combo is... what?

RL gets in the way of us all too much as it is, so I admit I just can't quite get a grasp on deliberately avoiding it when you have the chance.

yeah i know its weird to wait. im just kinda ocd about doing them all together.

Going out to get some Art Supplies today, will post when I get back.

Now should I post in day 1 or wait till you get things set up dave?

On Friday, I'll be making the Hex Map; they called a cold weather advisory so I'll have plenty of time to do it.  I'll restart the game once I have it up.

ok btw i think its your post on parnast.

Yeah, David's up for Parnast.  Since David is planning on switching scenes anyways, Meiou doesn't have to post for LAoP unless there was some unspoken requirement you do so before he scene transitions us.

Good luck with sudden weather conditions.  Those are rarely fun.

In the meantime, Birthday Wishes go out to Tim :)
