    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    OOC: You besmirch my honor, Sir! Name the time, place and your seconds! Seriously (gotta stop reading Dumas 'til 3am)... I thought we might have gone down the East side and got distracted by the road and are heading _into_ the marsh. I was going to mention that since everyone had specifically...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    "Does the river look passable there?" T. Rawley asks. "We could probably swim okay on our horses, but those afoot will have problems." After thinking a moment: "If it was a bridge that's out, that trail may lead to a more passable ford." OOC: Where did we actually come down into the valley...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    T. Rawley pulls his horse to a stop and follows her eyes, placing his hand on his holster. "What is it, Ma'am?"

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    T. Rawley shrugs, spits, and mounts up. Pulling the horse around in a tight circle, he falls in line with the others. "Ma'am?" he asks Brigitta. "You want to ride Brindle? I can walk him for you if you're not used to horses." To Haskins: "Hell, if that cat wants to take a chunk out of you...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    T. Rawley spits smoke and flicks his cigarette into the river. "So, aside from help from the Almighty and Mr. Colt: Do you know which way the cat was traveling? Is it traveling the same direction as us, or some other way?"

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    "Seems to me," T. Rawley says, "that if that cat is heading into the woods and we're following the river, we probably won't have a problem until it gets dark. Which direction was the cat headin'?"

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    T. Rawley dismounts at the river's edge so his horse can drink. Holding the reins, he slides his pistol out of his saddlebag, checks the load and puts it into his holster. He rolls a cigarette and lights it. "Shouldn't we be looking for a temple?" he calls to the group. "Not sure if tracking...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    [Rolled and sent] T. Rawley eases Brindle down the trail, peering into the surround brush. "Easy now," he coos to his horse. "There'll be some nice grass for you down there, boy."

    WitchFire trailer

    Didn't have the oomph of a trailer to me. Doesn't IK have giant steam-powered robots and stuff?

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    "She doesn't know where we're going?" Rawley murmurs to his horse. He pulls off his hat and wipes his forehead with a dirty rag. "Hope there's a story at the end of this, Brindle." (OOC: Sorry, Rawley has no skills in this area).

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    "Sure, sure," Rawley says, stumbling a bit over the rocky scrabble and occasional vine. "But, it sure would make a great chapter in your memoirs." "Alright you damn limey," the newspaperman says under his breath. "Come on, Brindle," he adds, tugging on his horse's lead. [OOC: Where are...

    [GRIM TALES] For GT regulars: Have you read Slavelords?

    Hey! I heard Wulf was the kindest DM on the planet, and that GT was like Puppies & Poppies. Does this mean that my puppy is going to die, Wulf? :(

    [Grim Tales] Slavelords Of Cydonia [full]

    Really liking the character dynamics that have been established. Good intro. There's the one over at pbem.com that mails the results to a person of your choice. Not sure if you've used it or like it. I don't know of another one. I prefer the DM make all the rolls, since it tends to speed...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Rawley wonders again why he returned to this place. The jungle had almost killed him once. Maybe that's the reason he's back. He spits on the ground and grins at the back of his 'employer.' "So, Bill," he calls, hurrying to catch up. "Tell me what you _thought_ you said to that pretty little...

    [Grim Tales] Slavelords Of Cydonia [full]

    Wulf: Rawley should have a 10 total in Sense Motive (+3 for Skill Focus). Also, I don't know what the ruling is on synergy bonuses, but I believe he should have the following additional synergy bonuses (some of them I wasn't sure if they were conditional or not): knowledge (streetwise) 5 ranks...

    Masque of the Red Death comments?

    You could also take the Gothic Earth setting apply some good ole fashioned Grim Tales to it. Don't know what your stance is on GT, but I'm going to use those rules with a similar setting (though the campaign starts about 200 years earlier). Overall, I like the modern classes more than the D&D...

    Terry Pratchett doesn't like JK Rowling

    What she innovated was not the genre, but the marketing and sales of the genre. By all accounts, she'll be a billionaire by the time the last book/movie/toy combination is out. That's quite an innovation for a little Victorian boarding school fantasy rip-off. edit: And that's the measure of...

    Terry Pratchett doesn't like JK Rowling

    That was my take, as well. I read the first book and didn't find anything new or different. The writing was fairly common (not great), the story was fairly common (complete with the chessboard trap scene), and the characters were slightly more interesting than most fantasy books. I read it and...

    [Aug] What Are You Reading?

    Fiction: Twenty Years After --- the Musketeers have just so it's 200 or so pages of denouement after that.. I always start the Musketeers books with the intention of reading them all in order, but I get to the end of this one and have to cleanse my palate. Next up: Harry Potter or that new...
