Here's the current initiative sequence: Greenstar as Arabella Lucean as Philip Dlsharrock as Keeper Kookalouris as Sam Adam finishes his drink and announces that he's leaving. He seems tired and professes to having an early start the next day. I'm probably going to write Adam out like this...

I still don't understand the point you're making. Isn't this about DM moderation, not rules? If I run a game with a group of players who prefer deep, immersive, characterisation, I don't run kick-the-door-down dungeon crawls, so if I run a game with a group of players who lack tactical smarts...

Non fiction or websites are both good sources for inspiration. Websites on potholing techniques and perils or history texts about mining for adding minutai to dungeon crawls. Wilderness and survival websites have given me good inspiration in the past, as have books on the habits of wild animals...

Chess? Or do you mean, which is easier to pick up and learn from scratch? In which case checkers. Not that I get the link you're trying to make. Are you saying checkers/4e is easier to lose/die because the rules are simpler? I'm not trying to be a smart-ass. I'm genuinely interested and...

Tactics in combat? Whatever will those crazy spliff-smokers at WotC think of next!

3.5 wasn't exactly a ripping yarn.

Shut up! Pong sucks. Pong 4e is the way of the future. Mind you, opinion seems to be divided as to whether Pong 4e really is Pong anymore. The bats have been simplified and the kind of people you meet at Pong conventions aren't nearly as smelly as they used to be.

If you check the RAW more carefully you'll see that in fact this class requirement extends to everyone except hobbits ;) And Sauron, but he's technically mute :D Binder_Fred, feel free to roll Sense Motive. Everyone, a question about XP, I'd appreciate any player input/experience on this...

OOC: Greenstar's turn next Decision making: well, you could either use the vote as you just did, or you could keep it strictly IC and reach decisions as you would in real life. If you'd start a vote in real life, maybe Sam would too :) It seems to fit this situation quite nicely actually as...

I've never been very good at conforming ;) I would also like to write with you, tadk, as I think we both have similar ideas about experimentation. Thanks for your kind words and expletives deleted :) Thanks. And yes, it's hard to interpret with the first read. The epic style fits the...

Time was not on my side this weekend! I'm fully aware of everything that's wrong with this one. I would have dearly loved more freedom to develop the idea, especially the Queen of Carvings which just didn't pan out as it looked in my head and wound up being plain confusing. I'm quite happy with...

Harbinger Round 3 - Dlsharrock vs Berandor -------------------------------- Welcome rider of the pale steed, silver scythe of serendipity. Come, let me embrace you, friend and keeper of the Dark Hold. Great is the thrust of thy hall, as jagged fangs of obsidian do the turrets of thy dominion...

"A part of the...?" Cara glances at the Chinaman, who shrugs in puzzlement. She bursts out laughing and wags her cigarette at Sam, "oh, that's funny. You've got a real way with brightening up a room there toots. But if you'll let me tag along tonight, that'd be just dandy. Go ahead. Act natural...

Welcome Bialaska :) You're more than welcome to join. Primarily please submit a character idea. Don't worry about stats and such at this stage, and if you like I'll stat your char sheet based on the PC you describe. Pertinent points should include name, appearance, profession, hobbies...

shameless bump. One and only, I promise :)

Nice roll :) He could learn much from the maker's of the staff if he were given time to scrutinize the craftsmanship up close and over time. The staff is beautifully made, clearly a work of art. This is a good roll, so I'll allow a more specific ID. We'll say he's come across wood of this type...

EDIT: initiative confusion :) I played Cara instead of Adam. OOC Go on with the sequence. Adam stays out of the conversation for now.

Cara blinks patiently as the Doctor revoices Arabella's questions in his own inimicable way. "I never divulge a source, Mr Bear. But I guess the fellow in question may have been passing and fancied himself a beer. There's no sign outside says you gotta be foaming at the mouth to come inside...

INT roll failed, so no knowledge of 'her'. Very hard to read Elves at the best of times. Thalion looks spry and healthy, though, as Fenris mentioned, his eyes tell some unbidden tale Baran cannot begin to guess at. There is more than the usual immortal wisdom in those eyes. Unusually, for an...

Adam sits back and listens. He's disgruntled, having guessed that Cara was flattering him just to pull the wool over his eyes.
