Awesome LB. :cool: Really evocative of a game that left my heart pounding from adrennalin almost weekly, while howling with laughter at some comment or situation, or left almost shocked at a sudden dire turn of events. It was fantastic to play in the sessions, and real treat to see the...

Everyone knows it takes a lot more than being nearly cut in half by a laser to kill a MI6 agent. ;) She'd certainly have loved to know she was appreciated though!

That comes in the second week's instalments! :lol:

Hey! Who're you calling a "Bro" ... oh, wait a minute. :D

The DM sending tells for PCs to relate is a useful little tool for NWN based games, kind of like passing a piece of paper but it doesn't break the flow. LB used it a lot, and to great effect, in XCOM to pass information after certain actions which the PC then relayed as if they had discovered...

I'm pretty sure it was more than that! What was it you said? When it comes to bad rolls at critical points I deliver? :D Of course that's always more fun for a DM than rolling 20s. ;)

I remember those bombs, biting my fingernails even reading this. They triggered a little spell called Hellball which no bugger in their right mind wants a PC in the area of effect for, and it's a /large/ area of effect. Never launched one without thinking, "Oh god, oh god, oh god, I'm gonna die!" :D

Yeah, I was going to have a /lot/ of fun with psych powers. Sodding D100 cramping my style. *mutter grumble* She'd taken Skill Focus in Craft Disturbing Mental Image as a feat the previous level too. Perhaps it was best for the mental stability of the other players that the Queen of Bad Dice...

Oh boy do I remember that one! Awesome fun. :D Also remember the re.... but that has to wait, huh? ;)

I think LB is building it for effect but they were sods. About now Smart Alec started to play Vas in closer too, if I remember, as his strength for melee compensated for low ranged ability. He used to get torn up a lot but had a character build with a save against death in its abilities that he...

Man do I remember that mission! :D I never actually played XCOM, and the players in the group who had generally respected my desire to stay uninformed, so the whole thing was new to me. LB cut the in game detail over the rooftop surgery, for expediancy with regard to length of post probably (...

Yes, fueled some major changes in some of the PCs. :( I know the attitude of ours shifted dramatically as a result. Hoping LB uses some of the posts to demonstrate, as it was oddly easy to get behind in terms of IC response.

Oh gods, I remember these sessions! Your PC cowering and completely unresponsive (fear effect) and in the line of fire as you hit every key or hammered the mouse buttons hoping against hope. Worse still totally unresponsive while highly likely to shoot at friendlies (confused) or hostiles alike...

I used to really look forward to the briefings. Mostly because they were a chance for Catalina to claw at Drake. Stalking around, hissing and spitting and just waiting for a chance to scratch. So cool sparking off against one another. Bugger the intelligence, just give me a chance to let the...

LB has fleshed the battle out a little descriptively, at least from what I remember, but that doesn't matter much. The real talent LB' has as a DM is keeping you on the edge or your seat while you're in game. It's always a challenge and I've never seen any PvP in a mmorpg to beat it. Always a...
