    Wizardru's Story Hour (updated 11/21)

    And then there were three... Valanthe finds a secluded rooftop near the Southern gate, and focuses her mind, calling Verilunda to her. As if she already knows Val's mind, she says that there are others who would be glad to aid her, if she summons them forth, but only someone with Val's talents...

    Gaffs, snorts, spits and other embarrassing RPG moments.

    1 point of damage from a 1d4 Our DM (who's also my husband), WizarDru, Actually took 1 pt. of damage from a 1d4 during one of our sessions about a year and a half ago. We were all goofing around for a few minutes during a break in the game, when someone made a comment (don't remember what it...

    Average Length of Combats [Poll]

    Being a player in WizarDru's game, I can say that it seems like combats take longer than 3-4 rounds. I would put the average at 5-6. And even the shorter ones feel like forever. We don't fly through any encounter. Some factors might be that we have 6 players instead of the average (according to...

    Princess Mononoke question

    Many cultures have variations on this theme, but in the case of Mononoke, the cutting of Ashi-taka's hair is symbolic of his 'death' to the tribe. He must leave and never return, and the cutting is evocative of this. This falls with a good deal of samurai tradition, where you would shave...

    Your rating of TTT

    Re: Re: Re: You missed the point Well, I think it has more to do with good filmmaking than a desire to please the great unwashed. I gave the movie a 10, but I immediately recognize that while it's a moderately faithful adaption, but there are many differences. But just as with FOTR, I think...

    Avonshar: The Horror is in the Knowing. Updated 8/8/03

    No,no,no. The Dwarf isn't going to call it a Slurm! :mad: Rali is naming it a Balderk, a more appropriate weapon name. I believe the unspeakable evil that we released have been named the Slurm.

    Val's journal - Bastion of broken souls, part 1 I swear, as much as I like Bolo, someone needs to put leash on him. At least he hasn't run gleefully into the gaping maws of an astral devourer… again. ...the rest of this story has been erased from time itself (pending futher explanation from...

    Avonshar: The Horror is in the Knowing. Updated 8/8/03

    Yeah, you got that right. Rali, a dwarf who does armorcrafting, has a new armor in her hands, and then promptly taken away. Arggg! Hrmph! That armor most definitely had a dwarven hand involved in the crafting, I'll have you know. Dwarves are masters of weapon and armor smithing. *grumble...

    [OT] Sad news - Richard Harris, the actor playing Professor Dumbledore died.

    Sad, sad news indeed. I found out after a long day of work and I cried. He was one of my favorites and he shall be missed. I loved him a bunch in A Man Called Horse (one of my favorites), HP, the Field, Camelot, Gladiator. I haven't seen the Molly Maguires mentioned, but that was a good one for...

    [OT] Blues Clues

    Damn straight! We happen to have that Little People video too. I think we have made it "dissappear" because it drove me and my husband nuts. I think it was the narrator who really did it. Like the sheep and corn one... "Careful Michael, rainbows are slippery." Argh! But anyway, we have Molly...

    Wizardru's Story Hour (updated 11/21)

    I know, I know... Yes, it's way over due, but here are some of the pictures from the battle with Ebon Claw the black dragon. I'll put some commentary below each one. Wizardru made these ahead of time so we got some really nice colored maps. He didn't unveil them until we arrived on the scene...

    [Buffy] Spoilers - Tonight's episode

    Get outta my head! :D You sooo nailed the 3 things I thought were the best in this episode. Maybe it's because I'm a woman, but I was crying after that last scene. James Marsters is just great. (not to mention extremely sexy, IMHO) I've finally read all thru this thread, but and still not...

    [Buffy] Spoilers - Tonight's episode

    So far, so good I really am enjoying this season so far. I like Spike immensely and like the good (well, sorta) Spike. James performance last night was awesome. I like how he transitions between soft, nicer Spike to the nastier, old Spike. Is he kinda having a split personality disorder from...

    Todd Lockwood Laid Off By WOTC! (thread necromancy)

    Will the last person to leave WoTC, please turn out the lights... Sigh, this just gets more and more depressing. Can there be a good side to all this seeming stupidity? :( Well here's wishing the best to all the artists and previously laid off employees.

    Valanthe's Journal - The Grand Tour - part 1 Old friends, new enemies... Well, after having a little side trip to the Deep Ethereal, then Kord’s table, and then the Elesium fields (and boy was I glad to leave, it’s so boring there), we finally got to get back to the business at hand – shopping...
