Grumble grumble nonsense and other comments.

Where on my sheet shall I mark a point of insanity? And what are its mechanical effects?

In reply to Jocelin Herzog (msg # 232):

On your Secondary Profile you should have a box marled 'IP' which short for Insanity Points. Put a '1' there.

In and of itself a single insanity point isn't mechanically meaningful but should you ever earn '6' your character is at serious risk of developing a mental disorder.

Hi guys

I'm back, it's been a bit of a roolercoaster ride this last month or so.... Another stay in hospital another course of antibiotics and still more tests.

Passed yet another kidney stone a week or so ago.... They say I have one left inside and if it doesn't make an appearance by the new year they might take me in to zap it with sonic beam to break it up into little bits that will pass naturally.

Even though my kidneys, espe ially the right one has been enlarged off and on for some time test show no lasting damage so far.

So overall things are going in the right direction so I thought the little halfling Edgar should reappear from inside one of the wagons and rejoin the party :)

Glad you’re back and broadly ok!

I hope you are on the mend Edgar and recovering.  It sounds like you have been through it a bit!

GM - can I clarify the position?  Behind the log where the corpses are being placed there are a number of small holes made by arrows.  Are the arrows still there / sticking up like caltrops?  I can see that Father Dietrich has fallen in a spiked pit trap and Edgar is trying to rescue him but do we know if we are under attack from goblins in an ambush?

Bonus GM points for the spiked pit trap by the way.  When I was a kid you couldn't go five pages without someone falling into a spiked (poison tipped) put trap in game books!

Also glad to see you back Edgar. :)



The arrows are gone (or rather spent; you found many of them in the bodies of the unfortunate ambush victims.) I can confirm that there are no goblins currently shooting at you, and no sign of any in the immediate vicinity.

Also much as I'd love to claim credit the spiked pit is in the published adventure. :)

Merry christmas guys have fun and keep safe

Jas

Merry Christmas to you too Edgar and all the rest of you too!

Hope you have a pleasant and peaceful time with those who matter :)

Many happy returns of the season!

If you’re planning on caroling, remember: enthusiasm is a good substitute for talent!

Happy Christmas all! Hope everyone has a fun safe time! :)

*Raises glass of eggnog, then remembers that isn't actually a thing here in Ireland so looks awkward*

Merry Xmas folks. Hope you have some great holidays.

Merry Christmas folks!

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year all! :)

Like a lot of you I've been busy during the hols but back to normal next week.

hi Jocelin

just to give you the heads up the priest is down in the pit trap embedded on stakes. Edgar went down to be with him when he died and the priest gave Edgar the small relic.

Edgar then climbed back up and Granny will say the prayers over the pit once the priest's body has been covered with earth. :)

sorry if that screwed up your last post

whoops, I thought he'd been brought up. Alrighty.

Sadly, Jocelin's player has informed they have had to take some time off due to a death in the family. I've passed on my condolences and will keep things moving until they return.

That's such sad news and I also share my condolences.

She was a wonderful woman. 89 years old, and hardly any memories left, but she still had that sharp wit to the end. We'll miss her.

Please accept my condolences, too

Thank you Lukas, Pieter.

Ok folks... sorry, been off the boards for a bit. I’ll climb back on the horse and get a Jocelin post up today.

It's okay Jocelin, I understand you've been busy lately.

I'll push things on tomorrow. We're nearly at the end of this particular adventure so you guys can start thinking about what you might want to do in the big city of Middenheim. There will also be a bit of XP to spend. :)

I hope Edgar is okay. It has been quite a while since he logged in.

Just as a reminder you are allowed to use Fortune Points on rerolling failed tests.

As someine famous for their terrible rolling - especially in WFRP - I sympathise! (And then remember I am the GM and cackle evilly.)
