    Miniatures/Grids/Tactics and In-Character Combat

    I've played in El-Rem's games for over 6 years now and find any negatives of this system (co-ordinating a groups efforts - just read his SH on our attempt to use the Pyrotechnics spell) are far outweighed by the positives. The combination of using the map/minis, keeping conversation to what can...

    "Second Son of a Second Son" - An Aquerra Story Hour (*finally* Updated 04/19)

    Great post - this was one of the more memorable Tim moments for me. Markos racking his brain trying to figure out the way out while Tim just rolls up his sleeves and gets to work :) I recall a slightly slower build to anger over the Crusta situation but I certainly understand wanting to cut to...

    Aw Crap! We're done for now - time to start taking expeditious retreat as a default spell again ;)

    "Second Son of a Second Son" - An Aquerra Story Hour (*finally* Updated 04/19)

    I'm not sure any of us felt like we would have been able to rest enough to actually get any hit points and/or healing spells back and I don't think we had started using the second wind rules yet. That being said, yes, resting up would have helped. :)

    "Second Son of a Second Son" - An Aquerra Story Hour (*finally* Updated 04/19)

    Just caught up and want to say thanks for your efforts first. Second - Bleys' speech was one of the only times I've actually been inspired by an inspirational speech - Great job. Third - Some of Crusta's comments had me rolling. Fourth - Was Markos' conversation with Fiss’iss written up...

    "Second Son of a Second Son" - An Aquerra Story Hour (*finally* Updated 04/19)

    Wow - I think those "mummies" were only mentioned in passing to me when told afterwards about the session. Considering how frustrating the encounter seemed while reading I'm not surprised :) Thanks for the update.

    "Second Son of a Second Son" - An Aquerra Story Hour (*finally* Updated 04/19)

    Story hour really helps me remember key events - thanks. Looking forward to this weekend and dealing with the repercussions of Markos killing 1/2 the group. Just kidding... or am I? :p

    And don't forget the expansion of what you allow under the Masterwork rules.

    "Second Son of a Second Son" - An Aquerra Story Hour (*finally* Updated 04/19)

    Looking forward to the update and didn't see anything in M's characterization that didn't make sense given the circumstances.

    "Second Son of a Second Son" - An Aquerra Story Hour (*finally* Updated 04/19)

    Finally caught up - great job. I'm looking forward to future displays of prickery. Open call to readers to help me find a photo for Markos - kinda hard to find pictures of young males who look weathered and scrawny but tough (like beef jerky). I spent about 4 hours one night and couldn't...

    Good idea since we would never torture anyone... ;)

    "Second Son of a Second Son" - An Aquerra Story Hour (*finally* Updated 04/19)

    Using the term "pearls of power" is both an IC and OOC decision until Markos learns of this divine item and/or use of the term causes some confusion. Thanks for all the hard work; I am enjoying the game and find the SH to be a fantastic tool for keeping track of things. I have not read the...

    "Out of the Frying Pan"- Book III: Fanning the Embers

    Can't say there is anything I disagree with here (though who is best able to deal with something is often hard to determin). A general unwillingness to explore is directly tied to the group's overall quest - he is not willing to risk that quest's success over something not directly tied to the...

    Game in NYC

    Our group is still looking for 1-2 more players. A brief intro to the game: "The year is 2011. George W. Bush is still president and the war on terrorism continues. Following the assassination of Howard Dean before the 2004 general election, Bush rode a wave of fear and desperation into the...

    Game in NYC

    A brief quote from the DM: "The world I am hoping to create is gritty 4-color. You can think of it as Astro City set in a Frank Miller future with some 21st century identity paranoia thrown in for fun. There will be plenty of action to go around, but the emphasis is on the role play."
