Ambiguously Gendered Child of "What is the Hivemind?"

Meh, I have a laptop. It isn't good for games where you need to move the mouse and click accurately. Hence, don't play Minesweeper.

I can't have a computer without a mouse. If I had a laptop, I'd get one of those small mice.

By peons do you mean commoners? I give enemy grunts the benefit of the doubt. That's why the players felt a majour accomplishment when they killed off 75 of the 300 soldiers, including the leader who was higher level than they, and drove off the rest, with only 3 PCs and no casters

Um, grunts. What level was your party?

Level 12. The soldiers ranged from level 1 to 16 in class levels, with most of them being about level 4 or 5, and the soldiers were from a +2 LA race, so they were even stronger than usual.

I always picture how the DMG mentions... most grunts in an army are level 1, and maybe they're fighters. More likely warriors. Sounds like your party did pretty well, though.

The Vandolian Empire is the most powerful fighting force in the world. They consider themselves racially and intellectually superior to "Northlanders" and they are based on a meritocracy that takes people that can't excel and uses them in experiments or to attach to dangerous machines that suck life energy to create a powerful warrior. This keeps them at relatively high level

The PCs were freaking awesome though!

Do you have a campaign website?

No, but I get the feeling that I should write a story hour

And if my PbP Spelljamming campaign is a success, I could be convinced to do a PbP in my homebrew setting (the one with the Vandolians).

Yeah, you should do a story hour.

If your homebrew setting is basically standard D&D, I'll play it.

Its standard D&D, and I use some of the FR deities for the pantheon because I love that pantheon (but there's some weird twists in that too...). I also allow almost everything Wizards (or reasonable d20) into it, which I guess is non-standard, with the understanding that the DM can use all that stuff too for crazy bad guys. Cosmology is mostly 2e Planescape (so the Astral and Ethereal are perpendicular, dammit!). And Psionics is Different, but there is only one psion (and his apprentice), and you can't be them. There's a good in-game reason for this involving the Far Realms and iillithids. Also, anyone in this world is required to know and hate a foul villain known as Dhistan Moonshadow (former PC, went to the dark side and was super-evil).

I wish I had time for a story hour. Right now I'm not sure anyone would actually read it, and since I have a backlog of about three years on the current adventure, it would be a lot of effort to write it all up :\
