    Subscribed Threads Fixed?

    On a lark I decided to check my Subscriptions link just a moment ago and lo and behold: IT WORKED!!! I guess I'm posting to see if this is a real fix that you fine outstanding gentlemen have slipped under the radar, or if I'm just experiencing some sort of temporary hallucination? :heh:

    Zero Divide: Episode #2 "Black Star"

    "Yes. I'm hallucinating, Alan says with a shrug before closing the window and turning to face the others. "You didn't answer me though," he says to Ashana, scrutinizing her face with curiosity. "What happened to him? The person you brought onto the vehicle with me...I didn't make him, so he...

    Basic D&D: Did it hook you?

    Well, I got the Basic & Expert D&D sets for Xmas when I was in 3rd grade but I didn't really have much to do with roleplaying except reading them until a year later when we moved and I discovered Traveller's little black books that I could buy one a week of with my allowance and plenty of people...

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

    A dusty, ashen-faced Janis stumbles out of the pantry and out of the inn without a word or acknowledgment to anyone. Mumbling a call to her enormous bear once outside, she allows him to lead her into the woods where she unceremoniously looses a stream of foul-tasting last-night's liquor upon the...

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

    If only the we'd seen them before the gnome and my poor little snake got ganked before their prime. :) Updated Janis's sheet with the days' spells and new xp total.

    Zero Divide: Episode #2 "Black Star"

    Alan opens the window wide, ushering the little girl inside. "I don't know Mira. Maybe I should stay here, in case it's a trap?" Alan continues to make faces with the little girl. "It's probably a trap though. Maybe we should go with you in case you get in trouble and need rescuing." He...

    Zero Divide: Episode #2 "Black Star"

    Staring at the girl in the window, Alan continues his conversation with the two men behind him. "That's interesting. I can't imagine that I'd have missed those side-effects. Addicting? I wonder if someone else got their spoons into my pot while I was gone?" "So...you don't have one around...

    Zero Divide: Episode #2 "Black Star"

    "A Huvan Mind Interface...A while back I developed the bits that would allow humans to use them, and I guess I figured that by now everyone would have them. You know, porn and sports - all in the privacy of your own mind." "As for the other guy, I'm just asking. He's not here and I don't...

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

    Janis swiftly downs the foul substance, and after a moment's consideration gestures for another, and another afterwards. "You know Arik, I never set out to be who I am. It was all about people like that bastard Mateusz pulling my family into every damned thing - making every moment at my home a...

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

    All I'm saying is that, after someone's family has been purged and they're on the run, anyone who starts waving around the past with less than a kind smile is going to be automatically connected with the people who killed all your relatives. It's not just a sensitive subject, its a dangerously...

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

    Janis has spent her life since before the end of the war avoiding the politics of her family. The boss guy not only just stepped in those politics, gave the bird to her family's honor by leaving off the prefix, and identified himself as dangerous loose end that absolutely has to be killed else...

    Zero Divide: Episode #2 "Black Star"

    Alan saunters back into the main living space after his jaunt onto the web. "Did you know I'm a Hoosier? Amazing really, I'd have never have guessed." Alan looks around the room. "Say, what happened to the other guy? We didn't put him in the sandwiches did we?" "By the way, do we have any...

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

    Janis waves off the knight's comments as barely registering, her eyes blazing with barely controlled rage. She walks in in a tightly controlled fashion to what passes for a bar in the Inn, closing her eyes to gather confidence in her voice before she continues. Spitting the blood from where she...

    Gotcha. Pistols at dawn mode it is.

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

    Hold on...is that a slip or did Bill Lumbergh just call Janis by her unannounced, untalked-about last name? Or has Janis at some point referenced herself as such and I've forgotten about it? I think it's probably important, in case Janis needs to kill the boss-man since he's obviously some...

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

    Personally I thought that she came across particularly harsh once she told the boss to tend the horses. :)

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

    DEFCON, no matter how annoying Janis might be right now I'd just like to say thank you for giving me the opening to write one of the most fun Janis-rants ever. :)

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

    Janis stops her walk toward the Inn and silently counts backwards, gritting her teeth and biting her tongue to keep from lashing at the probably well-meaning but furiously annoying men in her life that seemed to demand demonstrations rather than good sense. "As I said, I'd rather we had...
