Never has there been a better time for a shout of 'Curses, foiled again!'. And now mother wants the chalk pentagram washed off the kitchen floor, I've got 23 buckets of *something* to get rid of, and the neighbours are starting to wonder where all the clucking is coming from... At this rate...

Peering through the gloom, Mustapha sees his companions on either flank engaging more of the skeletal figures. Seeing an opportunity, he spends a moment in thought, as if committing something to memory, then he steps back a pace, quickly makes up another flask of boiling, flashing liquid from...

Renya continues to keep a close watch on proceedings from her elevated vantage point. Apologies for the delay and short post. Only got today to catch up with threads then am out again til Monday. I guess Renya isn't in the heart of the action ATM anyway so will maintain a watching brief.

Apologies for the interruption. I've got today and early tomorrow GMT to post then will be out again over the weekend 'Actually', says Brunhilde 'I'm not really looking to buy anything, it's information I'm after. About that halfling my friend mentioned. I don't suppose you saw one like me a few...

VV, can you handle the investigation for the next little while?

After many long hours of research, I think I have finally perfected the ritual to summon the Elder Gods and lay waste to this pitiful ball of rock. I imagine it taking several days to complete, during which time I can't afford to be distracted by computers and other trifles. If all goes...

'Etiquette, you say?' replies the Professor. 'Well, I've lived around humans for a long time, and I have to say they never cease to amaze me. Still, I think I can give you some of the finer points. Let us watch for a while and I'll try and explain anything that you find strange. In the meantime...

The Professor looks slightly confused as he hears the strangely-accented voice behind him. He turns, and as he does so the knight guardian of the ham winks out of existence. Peering over the top of his spectacles at the figure who is addressing him, the aged sibbecai struggles for the correct...

Renya continues to keep a close eye on proceedings from her elevated vantage point, scanning the shadowy upper corners of the room and trying to listen for unusual sounds over the idle chatter of her companions. Her bow hangs loosely in her left hand, while her right is never far from the quiver...

Brunhilde looks at Krindorf and says 'well, if Gregor is going to try and charm the Constable (she shudders as she says it) then how about you and I go and see what else is in town? There's a store - Beatrix might have gone there to buy supplies if she was in town. I suppose we could try that...

I think Dr Simon's suggestion is a good one, so from now on we'll refer to them as 'Attack' and 'Defend' dice if that is OK with everyone? Reading through the play examples in the pdf, there seems to also be a convention to declare Attack Dice first, then Defend, altough there was a mixture of...

'Ah, splendid, good to see you, your Lordship' says the Chancellor to the new arrival. 'Well, no sense wasting any more time - it's something we don't have a lot of. Why don't you go down to the tavern and talk to our agent, Rouger - he's a tall, thin man, with very large ears. He'll be able to...

I think if a player asked me that I'd be tempted to give him an egg and tell him to sit on it for a while...

'Oh!' said Professor Gruffle in surprise when the large cat which had been lurking below the table, hopped nimbly up onto the top. His eyes narrowed, and he said 'two against one, eh? Time for reinforcements...'. With a gesture, a small mounted knight appeared on the table beside him. Pointing...

I'm not sure such a thing exists within your parameters. Best I can come up with is Shout @ 4th - damage is fixed at 5D6 though.

'Oh dear' says the obviously harassed Chancellor, 'letters were sent to more than just you two. I was hoping some more of our brothers and sisters would rush to the aid of their homeland in such dire times. I trust nothing has happened to them on the way here...'. He takes out a handkerchief and...

Renya sheathes the knife she has been carrying and takes out her bow once more. She touches Jack on the arm, and indicates she will stay at the doorway so she can look over the room while the others investigate further.

Seeing where Gregor is headed, Brunhilde stops and says 'I'll leave you to it, big man. I'm not in the mood to play nice with that...woman. She's likely to have me shot on sight. Which on reflection' she mused 'is probably not so bad if they are all as hopeless as the gate guard...

As I'm not a Twitter user (Twitterer?) for some reason I can't help think the 140 character thing makes everyone sound like they are speaking in haiku ;) Combined with the pbp idea and I came up with: I take out my sword It hums as it cuts the air Natural 20

I actually considered trying Twitter to see if it would be possible to use it to run a pbp game. A very concise pbp game. But it would have needed everyone else to have accounts. And I like players to be descriptive in their posts, whereas Twitter would encourage brevity, plus the boards here...
