And I will say again - OW. Glad to hear that you're not concussed though (and that your towel was handy! ;) ) - head wounds are NOT nice. And the staples in your head sound almost as bad. I don't want staples in my head.

Among the many definitions might be: EN World's one "silly thread". The contents of Piratecat's Brain. A friendly community of people who like to be silly. It seems to be dying nowadays on these boards, though the majority of the Hive has moved over to my boards, where they have many forums to...

It'll be good to see you Boz (she says, seeing his name on the "newest member" part of her boards). Do make yourself at home! :D

No, Otu - there is no SPOON. ;)

Well, it depends on your personality. The cooler, tougher, and harder-drinking among us might retire in the direction of Nothingland. It's been described as EN World's smoky upstairs room... EN World's nice, friendly kitchen area, however, is located at Randomling's House. Yup, they're my...

Oww. What happened?

Hmm, OK - here's some notes on NPCs, and some of the wonderings I'm having. Anna Doesn't really need stats just yet - she's a ghost trapped in a mirror, and can't have much effect on the outside world. She might be able to directly affect Alex's dreams if she really tries, but she isn't likely...

:( How odd! I'm not sure how firewalls work, so I can't offer to mess with settings in an attempt to make it too firewall-friendly. Although when I tried to check the boards at the airport I discovered they were barred because they fall into a porn category. I wonder why that should be? (We've...

*bump* So after a bit of a break, I'm going to start running Lost Souls again on a fairly regular basis. Due to the shortness of sessions, and the fact that everything basically takes twice as long over IM (and for some other reasons I haven't identified yet) the campaign hasn't really taken...

Hey Hive. I haven't been here (OT forum) for a long while, but right now, I'm bored. How's everybody?

Hiya Diri - swift kicks towards some of the more sexist players might be fun, but I don't think attacking the GM is such a good idea.... ;) Seriously though, I'm dealing with it by learning to call them on it more often.

To his credit, a similar thing happened a few minutes later, and he did exactly that (pointedly asked me what my character was doing when somebody else said "I said she was...").

I don't think it's cricket, either - it's going to change, believe me. It's just taking a bit of time. :D (I think it's partly because I'm a woman - StalkingBlue has been ignored in the group too, and is far more assertive than I am - and partly because I've been slovenly in the past about...

Hmm, that's actually fairly symptomatic of my lack of assertiveness in the group, which is not an entirely separate issue from sexism in the game IMO. I'm learning to balk when I'm told rather than asked what my character is doing (by other players not the GM!) but because I've been unassertive...

On the other end of this, I was very pleased with my level of achievement in today's session and am actually feeling very much more inspired about playing my character (whereas previously I was feeling quite disheartened). I felt genuine independent power from two different female NPCs today...

I'm not entirely convinced - either that my information-brokering rogue and StalkingBlue's politicking witch are so far removed from genre conventions that they're difficult to fit into the game, or that I particularly want to play an honourary man (if I wanted to play a male PC, I could. I'm...

Hi - I'm the other of S'mon's players who had concerns about sexism in his game. :) For me, the difficulty is feeling that, even with effort, I can't achieve with my female rogue PC the things that male players with their male PCs achieve with much less effort or none at all. As a player I'm...

Congratulations - may your hair grow back and your health continue to improve! :D

Here you are, sir: http://barsoom.hyboria.net/Swash.html

I'm currently running a two-player piratical-style game which is intended to feel "swashbuckling". Right now I'm feeling rather shaky about the game in general because I'm an inexperienced GM and seriously lack confidence in my abilities. The most major thing that's bothering me at the moment is...
