* chuckle chuckle chuckle*

I would LOL but there are three people still asleep in this house. The act of waking them my incite a riot and would spoil a chance for the sat. table top game.

A strange, old man in the bazaar named Hippotier the Kind purchased the gem for 1000gp. He was quite interested in where you had gotten it and said that it was quite special. Although the group gave short and vague answers, Hilmdyn came away believing that Hippotier figured out some of their strange adventure.

A little more trutheful answer:

I am a coward. I was intimidated by the peeps playing and felt i could not maintain such a high quality of postin. I chickened out

there. you have the truth.

Uh, is there something I should know about the peeps playing?

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Uh, is there something I should know about the peeps playing?

Hey, I guess we are famous or some such. Although by the post count of others I would think we would have some stiff competition.

**-[SIGH]-**
all i am trying to say is that the quality of the posting by all of you is far better then what i can so my self. I get enough ridicule in real life for my dumb arse comments and i would find it beyond tiresome if i were to have to 'hear' it on these threads. I feel that this group is a fairly 'serious' gaming group ... as far as serious can be with a fantasy role plaing game that is.

[whisper]it was a complement, queeny [/whisper]

*hug* Thanks for the compliment!

I was only asking because except for Fenris, I haven't played with anyone else here either so thought maybe you knew something I didn't. Which I guess you do! Maybe I should be nervous now

For the record, I am sure you would be a fine player and if DT ever looks for more players, you should give it a go. I don't consider myself a good writer but the only way to get better is to practice!

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Scott would of course be welcome.

I'd like to take a survey on the first chapter. What did you like or not like about it? What do you want out of this campaign? What would you like to see?

 

[Queenie]

Whoops, I posted my question in the wrong thread. I'm not sure how to delete here either...

You have listed on our character sheets 1000 gp each - is that correct? I thought we got 1000 total, 250/each. Just want to check before I start spending the loot

Also... is there anything that a thief *should* have? Since things work a little differently here I want to make sure I don't miss anything.

Scott would of course be welcome.

I liked it a lot. I really enjoy your posting style. The only thing I would want more of is posting! ;-)

Let's see - want out of campaign. I personally like a lot of roleplaying, not just between the NPCs but with the PC's too. But it's worked really well so far I think. I like the gritty feel of it, when the battle started I was like, "Uh, I have no weapon! Well, except a letter opener!" Which made me laugh and have to rely more on wits. It was fun. And even got my husband asking what was happening with it because I was laughing and ohhhing and ahhing so much he was wondering what I was doing.

I don't know yet if the story has an arc or is just one little adventure within a lot of smaller adventures but either way I am cool with it.

Um, I guess I'm not too helpful in the end, lol. I am really enjoying it is the bottom line.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

That's actually 1000gp each. Original DnD had a lot of treasure and a large number of experience points. So the challenge for you guys is to spend it quickly before the next adventure, which will start by late Monday or early Tuesday if I do not receive additional posts. Remember, 1gp spent = 1xp. There is no way you can spend that much money on anything except stuff that is trivial. So equip your characters, think of trivial things your characters would all blow it on, and let me know.

And don't worry about the post. The only thing you could really do it edit it and delete the previous message and leave a note saying to ignore the post.

Which is why i like to read the yarn being spun while DT knits the story together!

It leaves me with the feeling of 'what's gunna happin next?! Hurry up and post!'
