She is freaking gorgeous. :D

I checked my email this morning and found that I was one of the lucky 50 donators (to the server drive) to win Emerald Press's entire PDF library. This includes Campaign Options: Mazes and Campaign Options: Wilderness Masters, Combat Options: Initiative and Combat Options: Attack, and Labyrinth...

It is a lot more info than you get in tabletop, but at the same time in tabletop you'd also know how the actions of everyone above you in the initiative chain went, and it wouldn't all get resolved at once. It's part of the way I'm trying to counter the fact that I, playing the baddies, have the...

Cupric continues diploming the weasels, while one of them cowers and listens, and the other one wishes the rest of its head were still around. Down below, Artemis makes Tal comfortable, and then gets back into character and steals his rope. Tossed up to the bridge, this allows the Follies to...

So! That was our first PbP combat. :) We started on the 8th, and ended on the 29th -- three weeks, five rounds of battle. What do you think of the way it worked out? Do you like the mechanics of posting out of order, then having things reassembled into initiative order? Did you feel sidelined...

Se, mandible-weasel with sucking chest wound "Pleeeeaze...don't kill uzzz," says the voice from beneath the near end of the bridge. It sounds like someone talking with a mouthful of bees, but its still intelligible Common. "Let uzz live near the zzziphon in peazzze...pleazzze," it wheedles...

Round 5 Seeing the weasels darting about, Tuggle readies a handful of caltrops to slow their approach -- but both wind up beneath the bridge, and for the time being the 'trops just prick the gnome's palms like a handful of rose stems. Propped across the narrow chasm, with acidic jelly oozing...

I did a double take in another thread when I noticed the little infinity symbol -- that's awesome! 22,900 seems like a realy odd number for the software to choose, though. Why not a round one, like 25,000, or even 23,000?

Well, the posts are all in for the last round (thanks, db!), but my end takes about an hour to work up and I haven't been inspired to do so today. Stay tuned, though. ;)

Oooooh...it's been awhile since I've bought any Private Stock, apparently, because I've never seen it in a bag. That sounds pretty cool.

That, plus what Thanee said (roll combat dice in the open), is what I did with my current campaign. I hate playing a long term game where character death isn't a possibility. So far, one PC has died, and I think the group appreciates the sense of danger (some have said so, so it isn't just me ;)).

My main dice are in a Gamer's Bag dice bag, inside a little Rook box -- my travel kit. ;) The other 1,400 or so are split between a Ball jar, a twisty glass thing from Pier 1, and a tupperware container. The jar and the glass thing both make nice decorations around the house (an idea I lifted...

By the same token, that may mean there's a built-in expectation to see conversions to 3e of the old 1e & 2e FR crunch -- which isn't present for Eberron.

An easy choice for me: BRP Call of Cthulhu. Apart from D&D, it's easily my favorite RPG, and I love it. :)

I'm pretty sure it was The Hobbit for me, in first or second grade (so I was about 7). I liked it, and I was proud I had read it young, but moving on to LotR I couldn't get through it (didn't until a couple of years ago, in fact -- better late than never!). I remember distinctly my first SF...

I'm glad you like the game -- I do too, and my interest in it is if anything higher than when we first started. :) As far as real life goes, X, I hope you won't take this the wrong way but I didn't feel like I knew you well enough to burden you with my problems. The short version would be that...

Assuming you've sent Morrus email at some point, or that he's in your address book, it's possible that you have a virus yourself -- since trolling your mail for addresses to use is a pretty common feature. I'm not trying to be lecture-y, it just seemed worth bringing up. :)

Weaselicious Everyone can see the unwounded weasel arc a ray of dissonance into the center of Cupric's globes of dancing light, trying to shred their magic and make them dissipate. This done, it scoots underneath the bridge, out of sight to everyone but Artemis (who sees it crouch protectively...

Round 4 Summary, and Round 5 Hoping not to hit Tal, Tuggle fires off a trio of magic missiles at the cube. Perhaps intent on its next meal, it doesn't seem to notice -- although the needles burrow wide holes through its flesh. Turning to Marduke, Tuggle asks in an offhand sort of way if the...

I took it exactly as it was meant (just like Xen's post), and it was funny. No worries. :) And why the heck is coleslaw called coleslaw anyway? Neither root jumps out at me as having anything to do with what coleslaw actually is.
