Kicking Steadfast into a gallop, Darrick aims carefully for the battered shield of the quintain. His lance tip wavered, despite his efforts, and once again he finds that the harder he fights to control it ,the more pronounced the wobbling becomes. With a muttered curse, he resigns himself to...

Friendly, I should think. No sense, from his point of view, in alienating a comrade...and besides, he has a certain reverance for healers. It's not something that he would openly express, but he'd be likely to defer to her somewhat because of this. Trebuchet fasincates him, frankly. In part...

How does Navy work? (I'll be honest, I have some slight color-blindness issues....)

Dim Gray for me, if it's visible enough. As to the more important matters, I'll look folks over and think some thoughts. I can certainly see Catherine and Darrick being reluctant rivals, of a sort.

In the short term, I figured that would be the case. And in the long term, a man needs to ride in style.

Actually, I'm on the verge of selling off a good 80% of my gaming books. All older stuff, games that I've never actually played and almost certainly never will. 1st Edition Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2020, an appalling amount of older GURPS products, a lot of early White Wolf books, and so on and so...

Minor change, if I may, after doing some re-reading of the Eberron book. I'm swapping the warhorse for the far more impressive Magebred warhorse, and dropping the potion of Bull's Strength and two potions of Cure Light Wounds in order to pay for the upgrade. The new stats would be: Special -...

Done and done.

Absolutely. Early on, his father called in a voluminous amount of favors in order to have Darrick accepted into a military academy-cum-boarding school in Taer Valaestas. He spent the next seven years there, and was actually on his way home on the Day of Mourning. Darrick's ship was diverted...

I hope that I haven't made any egregious errors here -- for some reason, I had a hard time juggling everything.... I've no idea if Darrick's horse would actually prove usable in play; if not, c'est la vie. He's a knight, and a knight needs a mount. Name Darrick ir'Davven Gender Male Race...

For fiction, I agree...sorta. For gaming, though? Not so much. Sure, if that's what everyone wants -- I've played in such games, and enjoyed them on that basis. But for the most part, I'm less concerned with reality than I am with fun, and with ease of play. For the former, I'm generally...

The movie isn't based on the book, actually. Similar sort of theme, but very, VERY different in just about every way. I've been using similar sorts of creatures in my own game -- Ghuls, I call them. Subterrainian cannibals, and a nasty bunch indeed. Being lazy, I based them on Ghasts, gave...

Fortunately, they've left my fingers unbroken. Typing with one's face is both slow and uncomfortable, and I don't recommend it. But obviously, anything that I say about "regular updates" should be considered lies. Filthy, filthy lies. But onwards and upwards! And by "upwards", I mean...

With me, it's miniatures. This particular guy, from Heresy, is the halfling paladin that I've always wanted to play.... (Paladin in the Solomon Kane mode, you understand.)

A Most Remarkable Show Naturally, it turned out to have been the bastard Nadir, who seemed to be determined to annoy us as much as humanly -- or Shiracly, I suppose -- possible. Not the wisest course of action to follow, as any number of corpses would happily tell him. He'd assaulted the...

And Lo! There was a Rogue's Gallery thread.

I'll start things off, I suppose, and hope that those slackers that I game with will step up to the plate.... First, the eponymous Burne, or at least the stats thereof.... The Magnificent Burne Lawful/Chaotic Neutral Male Human Marshal 1/ Alchemist 9 Attributes Str: 11 (+0) Dex: 14 (+2)...

So mote it be! And thank you.... But I shall post a rogue's gallery thread later this week, once I transcribe Burne's character sheet into something comprehensible by mere mortals. When this is done, I'll be sure to post something here.

Long and sadly delayed, but.... A Misadventure, a Meal, and a Medical Intervention While the others flailed about, trying to determine some method for dealing with the looming crisis, I kept my head. Indeed, I formulated a plan of sublime brilliance, which would merely have required some...
