The Hive Is REALLY Alive!

Viva la Gnomes!

Was Snow White their minion?

Snow White is the s**t of cartoon fantasy. She moves in with seven men. I'm sure she did more than clean and cook.

Sorry I have not been posting much. Between work and EN World not loading in under 5 minutes I have not been here much.

Tommorrow I head out camping. Back to Grand Isle on Lake Champlain. I may try to pop in tonight.

I think the rain is particularly important for Mycanid in order to prevent forest fires where he is. Glad to hear of the August rain.

Hatmatter!

Hello there!

I actually had the dwarves and Snow White in a D&D game once. Along with Hans from Hans & Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood (who wasn't so little anymore) with her werewolf pet . It took some time for the players to figure out what the hell I was doing...

That sounds too cool for words.

If I ever run a game (I'm mostly happy from the players side of things.) I'm including in joke stuff like this.

Hello Mycanid, you first ed. relic you.

The fairy tale adaptation reminds me a little bit of "Into the Woods," a Broadway show that has all of the fairy tale characters interacting with one another There's a synopsis of it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Woods

As to the rpg version of familiar characters it can be fun, the chief baddies I created recently are a group of four retired adventurers who were so successful that they have effectively hoarded all of the land wealth and magic in the land. They don't really get along with each other that well anymore, but they ban together if their wealth/status is threatened as they are primarily motivated by self-interest. My model was the Beatles.

Well to give you a bit more detailed synopsis of the game. It was an eberron game and this was a competing adventuring company of the PC's. They were searching for the same Macguffin but for different reasons.

Hans had grown to be a witch-hunting palading of Silver Flame. Very Lawful Stupid, the stereotype of badly played paladin . He had actually ended up killing his own sister when she had started showing signs of witch-craft.

Little Red was now called just "Red", and she wore a red cloak. She too was follower of Silver Flame and was ranger with lycanthropes as her fav.enemy. She had managed to capture a werewolf and change it's alignment. This bugged her paladin "friend" to no end though...

Then was the group's cleric, a beautifull woman with ebon-black hair and pale skin. Can't remember exactly which deity she worshipped but it was one of the nature-deities.

And finally they had a posse of dwarven warriors...

Howdy Hive,

I'm back from nearly a year's internet hiatus and thought I'd say hi. We left Hawaii, moved to Indiana, put a new metal roof on our 1880s church "house," did a few other renovation projects, and now we are in Louisville in an on-campus apartment while my husband attends seminary.

Not sure if I'll be gainfully employed--other than chasing after our four rug rats and otherwise being a wife and mother--but I sincerely like what I see of Louisville thus far. Only been here four days, though.

Anyway, hi, and it sure is neat to be back online and not restricted to the small keypad on my iPhone. Let ye olde fingers roam the keyboard...

No. If they were TRUE gnomes, they'd be illusionists.

If they were true gnomes, they'd have minions.

I had a rant about a post on the front page which was about a specific poster.

Anywho Americans really can't make chocolate can they someone in the office went to america and brought back some chocolates But they also brought back some nice soft mints wrapped in plastic american flags which has a slight toffee taste to them

Let me guess... A failed sheepherder that conned hundreds of sheep to enter his pen?*

Oh yeah, you should know, the best type of American chocolate is created in small European Themed tourist trap towns and are only available on site. In other words, don't even try to eat the stuff sold at the malls, chain stores or even at the airport since it will kill you.

It's all fun and games until the sheep are genetically engineered and go on a RAMPAGE!
