Anyone, anyone, Bueller? Hey all, I hope that a week is enough for everyone to respond at least once. It's rather hard to run a game when I'm doing four PCs and all the NPCs too. :( I was trying to give people enough time to respond, but PbPs tend to die without some nurturing. When it...

Wisco glares at the nearest hound, and there's a bright flash of lightning that leaps from him to the nearest broken hound. It stands, stunned for a moment, before toppling over dead. The hound next to the dead one suddenly stops its frenzied movement and pawing at its eyes, and drops down to...

As a female, I was rather chuffed to see female pronouns included the 3.0 D&D books. The books just alternated examples, sometimes using he in an example, sometimes using she, and that was totally fine. Waiting for some kind of arbitrary body to adjudicate our language by the creation of some...

I apologize for the slow pace, guys. I was trying to give everyone a chance to respond - I know Shadowsmith said he couldn't post on certain days.

Wisco sees the hounds packing, and knows they need an edge, and need it now. He squeezes a smooth place on a synth bracelets he's wearing, and a bead of light shoots out and enters the middle of the pack, exploding in a flash of blinding light. The hounds scream and some paw at their eyes...

I'd recommend, to paraphrase someone else earlier in the thread, GM intrusion to do things you were already going to do. More bad guys going to join the fray because they heard the alarm anyway? "Intrude" and give someone XP as they show up. That locked chest had a trap already? Give the...

Nope, you can switch back and forth between them as you see fit. An automaton might be immune to Intellect damage, but many other creatures have far less resistance and little to no armor against Intellect attacks. So use whatever seems right to you at the time.

Sorry guys, I meant to post late on Tuesday, but there was work, and then Wednesday was trick-or-treat night for my city, and we put up a full yard display, etc. Anywho. Shayuri - Your flechette thing is dandy. Whatever looks cool! And Onslaught can be either physical or mental as you...

For the "immersion" aspect of the game, you could try something like this. Hold two XP cards (or tokens you're using to represent XP) in your hand, showing this is an intrusion, but don't stop your narrative. Like so: Player: "Thirwen moves across the platform to cover Jaseen as she tries to...

Wisco tries to sight on another hound, but the process of ducking from that unexpected attack compromises his aim and his dart goes off into the foliage. There's an odd clanging noise in the general vicinity of where he fired. Seregal aims carefully, but with the beasts weaving in and out of...

Normally it's before, but as I just upped the difficulty on you, I'll allow it after. :)

Yes, sorry, should have stated that - As the broken hounds mass to attack, they go collectively up to a 3 rather than a 2, so now everyone's target number is 9. And everyone gets 1 XP. And yes fireinthedust, you can use your list of twenties. Mind putting them in your character sheet for ease...

Wisco levels a dart at the attacking hoard, but speed makes for unsteady hands, and his dart goes flying into a nearby tree. One of the broken hounds leaps up and vaults off of it, springing at an unexpected angle. Wisco managed to dodge the oncoming horror, but it was a close thing...

If anyone wanted to do anything during the hour or so you were in the jungle, just let me know and I can retcon it! :)

As you cross the line from the Sheer to the area of greenery, you go immediately from late autumn to high summer, the air hot and muggy. Insects buzz around you as you penetrate the jungle's outer edge, and the heavy, sweet scents of blooming flowers fill the air. Everyone stays alert, ready...

Wes shakes his head. "This has been around for... lemme see, the last three months. One trip to Wislayn it wasn't here, the trip back a week later and-." He waves at the jungle. "Wasn't a thing here before that, no statue or numenera thing, at least that I remember, and I've been running...

Okiday Gamgee. And you're riding an aneen - think of something the general configuration of an ostrich, but about 10-12 feet high, with the hide and face of a cow. They're a common pack animal and food animal in the Ninth World.

Fireinthedust - congrats on the new job! We'll just assume Duncan is kicking ass, or assessing how best to avoid asses being kicked if you're not around for a couple days? Thanks much for the compliment! I do write in my spare time, but with gaming the characters talk back to me and I don't...

Everyone - I have edited my last post on the IC thread to introduce Xaion as well as add a new wrinkle into the narrative. Give it another gander before you post a response. :)

Gamgee, you are good to go! Get in the game! *high fives, tags in* (We can retcon any meetings or conversations with the group.)
