Background: 1st Ed D&D module in which there have been a number of deaths in a small town. Investigations reveal there is a pattern to the deaths which may be related to a prophecy about a child being born which would grow up to overthrow the local lord. Character: Gnomish fighter/thief Player...

If other people were interested in a reason for knowing each other, I have this rather quaint notion of a travelling circus troupe who have pitched up in town. There are a number of circus performer archetypes, some of which map onto classes, others which don't. There's the ringleader...

Do you have a tone in mind for the game? My gut feeling is if people throw in some weird plot elements it pushes it towards a comedic sort of game? Are you happy to just see what comes up, or would you steer potential players towards/away from certain things?

Actually, rather than hack into anything, all I really wanted was to pick up the comm frequency they are broadcasting on. If things go pear-shaped, then I'll need that to be able to send false comms to them.

Stats of 7 in INT, WIS and CHA should mean you are a pretty unpleasant, short attention span, borderline retard (I don't mean this in an offensive way, I'm trying to describe someone with such low reasoning power or inability to grasp simple concepts that they would require considerable...

@FitD - how did Z3R0's previous attempt at scanning the comm frequencies pan out? 23 was the best he could do.

'Home again' said Gruffle, fondly patting the hull of the Zax when he got close enough. He began to rummage through the various pockets of his coat. 'Er, does anybody have a spare remote' he asked sheepishly, before finally producing the electronic device required to gain access to the ship...

Blissfully unaware of the psionic energy bouncing around the bar, and more interested in the construction of Kaira's chair than its stunning occupant, Gruffle nods at Zoe's request and wanders over to speak to Hannigan. 'Hiya Doc' he says. 'Thought you'd be a while yet; I guess you're done in...

Giving a shudder of distaste, Z3R0 wades into the foul water until it rises above his head. He plods along the bottom of the sewer channel, trying his best to keep the flare in sight. At least the others are moving slowly enough that he isn't left behind, so he retracts his tow line and flips...

Indeed. Sorry to hear you've been porly - hope it's all sorted now.

'Swim?!' said Z3R0 letting out what might have been a metalic chuckle. His head rotated to take in the woman. Seeing her stony faced look he said 'you're...serious, aren't you?'. For the second time in the space of a few minutes, a short burst of most undroid-like words crackled from his...

Z3R0 will try to use his own commlink to pick up any signals being broadcast by the enemy droids. If he can pinpoint any frequencies, codewords etc they are using it might come in handy later - useful information if he tries to use Deception... First roll was rubbish so used Knack to re-roll...

Don't have a book at work - what does the skill for 'communications' come under? By that I mean, how to intercept comms, encrypt/decrypt etc While the others begin to move off stealthily, Z3R0 momentarily steps behind the wreckage of the escape pod and fiddles with 'something' at the side of...

Back in our 1st Ed days, in one of our more inspired moments, we captured a troll, cut its leg off and sent it on its way (probably by telling it to 'hop it!'). Several slices were duly carved from the leg and thrown in the stew (mmmm, troll buttock...) then it was left to regenerate back to a...

Z3R0 hauls himself out of the pod and stands up slowly. Despite being the only one with no stomach - and therefore no last meal to lose - he sways a little as gets to his feet, having spent part of the trip wedged almost upside down. Giving the side of his head a rattle with one hand, he says...

I never saw that (but it wouldn't have applied to Gruffle anyway as he has no money...) but I spent a couple of points on Claim to Hospitality which seemed to be/do the same sort of thing. For Gruffle I was thinking more of being able to find a corner of floor space with a fellow Vargr seeing as...

I'm afraid the 'you must be this high to play this campaign' did for our gnomish chum... I was hoping to recruit a third from another game I am in - have PMed someone with a view to offering them a slot but so far no response. If they don't get back to me, I have another alternate in mind...

Firstly, be very careful about making it look like you are targetting specific PCs or weaknesses - it may cause bad feeling if someone takes no part in the climactic fight because you have taken them out with an ability/tactic/special move that the bad guy couldn't possibly know. However, as...

I've had my mp3 player on random while I've been browsing the forums and of the last 10 tracks that have played, this is the only I can find a video of: YouTube - Kraftwerk - The Robots Not sure what that says about my collection...

Bah, that's not proper pirate metal. THIS is pirate metal!!!!! ;) YouTube - Running Wild - Bad To The Bone Alestorm aren't bad though, and I discovered they are supporting Sabaton in Glasgow this Tuesday (12th Oct) if you are in the area. A bit of a long trip for me on a school night, plus my...
