Chicago EN World Game Day: The Aftermath! :)

[KnowTheToe]

Matt just to let you know, D&D is not that different than Synnibar. If you become a rules nut and maximize the use of templates, character generation can easily take 2 or more hours and you can have crazy character concoctions people not currently high on mushrooms would never imagine. You will feel right at home.

Sorry I've been away so long, but for some reason I was unsubscribed to the email notification to these threads. Bummer.

There will be six pre-gens for my Arcana Unearthed game, so no worries if you don't have the book.

For my Call of Cthulhu folks: I'd really like to have the full four players there, so if I don't get four I'll try to bring something as a backup, high-action game for just a couple of players. Maybe Star Wars, maybe Feng Shui.

Well, I did it, folks. I went on out to Games Plus and bought a copy of the 3.5 PHB and Enemies and Allies. I won't make any promises about actually knowing the rules (as those of you who have played in my games already are familiar with), but it is a shocking step in the right direction.

Yes, I will be an official D&D player next time you see me.

I might be a little bit more lenient on rules than Mark is, just for you...

I need PBB_TSSI to email me.
I also need the rest of my players to send me their characters or at least the character concepts pretty soon. I want to start the game once everyone is there.

Character generation is 32 point buy. 3rd level characters.
As for backstory, your character need to be at least 18 years old and needs to have a reason to be alone in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in the middle of June, 2003. Survival skills are suggested, but not required, as is the abilty to drive. Any items in the d20 Modern Core Rulebook,as well as the d20 Modern Web Enhancement are available, though you still need licences to get restricted items and the wealth score to buy them. I also use the Big Bang series books from available from the RPGnow store.

Please email me your characters as soon as you can (so I know the best way to dispatch, er I mean work them into the story, yeah that's it)

I Already have characters from ejja_1 and PBB_TSSI.

Thanx,

Cool! I look forward to crafting my first Winged Warrior Ninja with claws and can shoot lasers out of his eyes and has 10,000 Life Points and who worships Blade, the heavy metal ninja god!!!! d20 roxxors!!!!! *

I, of course, assume the games are only similar in that dice are used to resolve actions.

*yes, such a character is routine in Synnibarr. Join us. Become one of us.

I'm sure this will be made up for in swift and sure bear violence.


And I'm no expert, but there doesn't seem to be any changes to Lidda's stats from what's presented in Enemies and Allies and the 3.5 PHB.

I think the main difference is the addition of the Trap Sense ability; other than that, Lidda should work as-written.

Ah, I can see it now....
*HAZY DREAM SEQUENCE*

NPC: "This is my bear friend, Cuddles! Say hello, Cuddles!"
MATTY, approaching giant bear: "Okay.... hi Cuddles... what a nice big bea--"
CUDDLES, rending: "RAWWWWWRRR!"
NPC, shrieking: "Oh no! Cuddles, no!"
CUDDLES, tearing:"RAWWWWRRRR *SQUISH! RIIIIIIIIP!*"
***

But Matty, you will prevail! Even if you don't the pain and suffering will definately be... bearable...



I must begin running now. The pun police will run me through for that one.

The pun police may overlook it this time, because we're less than a week away from Gameday!!!!!

Woo hoo!!!!!

Just you wait until the next Buffy game, frat boy

What are you gonna do? Bleed on me?

Be warned, Matt. There have been many a time that I have come very close to scaring off people in a gaming group with merely the powers of my mind.

Example? Two days ago, Friday, the D&D group I'm playing with is going through some goblin territory in the Sunless Citadel. After killing the king and his guardsmen, we find an area with the women and children goblins and they start panicking. A little later, the Druid (*cough*Thalmin*cough*) opens a door the a bedroom.

Now, a thought that pops into my mind is "It would be funny if there was a female goblin there that tried to seduce him to save her life."

From that moment to the moment I actually spoke, my mind filled in a detail or two to make it more "colorful", I actually said (in a pseudo-DM way. Good thing I'm not actually it), "You see a female goblin in a sheer negligè."

...

Upon seeing everyone staring at me in wonder and absolute terror at what my mind had wrought, I failed to explain how the heck that came out and instead just sat quietly to let the moment die.

So, yeah, um... Beware, Matt! Be very afraid!
