    Recruiting - World Building game

    I'm not getting how it would work in practice, so I'm going to bow out of consideration. Thanks for explaining it some more.

    D&D 4E Gunpowder in 4E?

    I just want guns because all the cool ships for pirates need cannon to make any sense. I've got no problem at all with saying that castles and well-equipped military forces in D&D should be wheeling out field pieces, bombards, and the like - suddenly something like "Against the Giants" becomes...

    Recruiting - World Building game

    I'm interested in theory, but I'd have to see what's going on in the meat of the game to say for certain.

    How do you share large files online?

    I'll second the Gmail account idea. I've got a separate gmail account that I use just to transfer stuff to myself and it's pretty awesome.

    Prince Caspian movie trailer - back to Narnia!

    I didn't think it was great, but I liked it better than a lot of other movies... like just about anything with Eric Bana in it, for instance. And someone will disagree and say Eric Bana's a wonderful actor and a great guy, and I'm a jerk for thinking he's the Ewe Boll of actors - and maybe...

    Janis is simply prepping everyone for the "mob with torches" aspect of the castle adventure.

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

    I've watched too many horror flicks to trust a group of spunky outsiders walking up the steep hill to the creepy castle looking for charity. We might as well put the bear in a red shirt and complain about our carriage breaking down in the rain. I just afraid that once we're in the castle we're...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

    I was hoping for 9th level before we hit the castle, so Janis can enlist a Sancho, her trusted sidekick and bonny companion, in the fight. Maybe Ireena would like to become a henchman? Hrm.

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]

    "You wish to say something to me, Visanti?" Janis says with a note of cool challenge and humor. "Glaring at me will prove a shallow comfort, I'm sure." "Say your peace and leave in peace," she proclaims, walking toward them directly with a gesture of peace.

    Prince Caspian movie trailer - back to Narnia!

    I think the Magician's Nephew would be the hardest to promote really, since it's actually the first book in the chronology.

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]

    Janis nods in understanding. "Perhaps we did...and what of it? Did anyone promise you that life would be without its challenges?" Janis pitches her voice louder so that more can hear her. "You people keep your head down and you call it victory. It is not, it is a slow disappearing. Even less...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

    Jarrith isn't already "in the deep end?"

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]

    Janis makes her way through the wounded and, after seeing them attended to, makes her way to the rest of the villagers - making small talk and checking up on their welfare and feelings in general. Janis tries to assure them all and comfort them.

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]

    Janis hops off of her magebred donkey and walks steadily to the dead and wounded, ready to lend a hand. Contrary to her defeated looking companions in the square, Janis looks more at ease than she has since any of the rest of the group has known her and moves with an easy grace and confidence...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

    Ok, Janis is about to be put up as soon as I finish finalizing her spell list (assuming that we're getting home in one piece and she gets to memorize her new level of spells, etc). Significant changes: +1 Wis, Janis now has that brill 18 she asked for from Santa. Alignment change: To go with...

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]

    Before leaving, Janis pulls the bodies of the maligned and abused creatures of the forest into a pile and, whispering a short apology to the forest and its attending spirits, sets them ablaze so that they might not suffer any longer the life-damning shadow that casts its darkness across this land.

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]

    Janis shrugs off Ashlyn's inspection. "I'll attend to it when we get back to the village. I'm fine."

    "Unless you'd rather..."

    stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [IC]

    "I'll do it," Janis says grimly. Frowning back toward the green pillar, she takes a moment to examine the pool thoroughly and consider possible pitfalls before she plunges in. "Make certain every dead thing remains so while I'm at it." OOC: Doing the knowledge check thing on the pool and cave...
