    D&D 4E Running player commentary on PCat's 4E Campaign - Heroic tier (finished)

    Just dropping in to say how much I miss you all. I'm thoroughly enjoying Fajitas 4th ed campaign, but I still miss you. It's also interesting how much difference the party composition makes. We're very deliberately balanced, with about 2 players per role. We don't do nearly the striker...

    Pretty much. Reyu usually does try to be diplomatic, but it had been a hard week, and she was genuinely confused. And hey, sometimes I have a weakness for a good line. -WLS

    Thanks Spyscribe! Thats the plan, at least. And have I mentioned lately how much I enjoy this story hour? Sure, I always know what's going to happen, but you make it come alive again. -WLS

    Sheesh. What's with all the elf hate? In the Halmae, slavery is an exclusively human institution. It's anathma to the elves. Plus, remember that the youngest child is only 10, the oldest is just 17, and by elven standards they're even younger. Since they did no permanent damage, counted...

    Ahh, but what many of you don't realize is just how racist Reyu is. Until she lost her achievement braid she would have fought with the elves. Even with the arrogant behavior of the war hand, she would *never* fight against them. And again -- innocents. Elven children who don't really...

    Nope. Sorry. You are not allowed to eat my husband's brain. We're using it, you see. -WLS

    Zog and KidCthulu, ya'll know that you know each other in real life, right? Just checking, -WLS

    In fact, I don't think I made any particular desserts that session (although we have had some pretty yummy evenings). But there may have been some other reasons for mentioning the candy in game... -WLS

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Not belated at all. My birthday was today, I graduated a couple of weeks ago, and I start my new job on the 25th. Add in our recent trip to Boston and things have been busy. We still have time to game, though! PC, we'll just have to meet Capellan next time we visit. Call it added incentive...

    "Buffy-vivor": Pick the ultimate Buffy episode! (Come vote in the finals!)

    Wow. All this discussion is really making me want to go rewatch seasons 2 and 3 in all their glory. It's a tough call, but I think season three is really the best of them all. So how do I choose a favorite episode from such a strong field? After much consideration, I vote for Earshot (With...

    The Americans Only! Battlestar Galactica Thread

    Yep. Serenity is definitely in the background for a second or two. We were warned before we watched the miniseries, so kept an eye out for it. And then rewound and rewatched just for the fun of it. It's nice to know that *some* people appreciated Firefly. And yes, I think the new Battlestar...

    How many female gamers in your group?

    Don't worry. Kid Cthulu and I will fill you in :p And now I really must get back to this dang paper. (all these years, and I'm still doing homework on a Saturday night. <sigh> And to think I could be out gaming like a proper geek.) -WLS

    How many female gamers in your group?

    When my sweetie and I started our campaign three years ago I insisted we recuit at least one other woman, since after years of fairly even groups I didn't want to go back to being the only girl at the table. Turns out we ended up with 4 women and 3 men (including the DM), so my fears were...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Exactly. And now the villagers have a decent spear. Which means that if they ever want to make new ones they have a bit of a model.... Incidentally, Mikaro is a character created entirely by accident. During the fight Fajitas was rolling for the villagers, and one of them pulled off a...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Yay! Clearly I play Reyu 'cuz I enjoy it, but it's nice to know other people like her too. I feel like she often ends up the straightman (so to speak), but she also has some good stuff coming up... -WLS

    Wisdom Like Silence is a relatively unimportant GSV in Excession. The name, I must admit, has stuck with me much longer than the character. -WLS

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    I can hardly object, since I stole the handle from an Ian Banks novel. Ian Banks, for those who don't know, is a British writer of beautiful science fiction with improbably named spaceships. Wisdom Like Silence is the name of one of his ships/characters, as well as a reminder of the benefits...

    Exactly. <sigh> Still, we managed to take care of the goblins on our own, and entangle has been useful a time or two. -WLS
