Detroit Gameday II: Dec 4th AFTERMATH!!!

[William Ronald]

It sounds like everyone had a great time!!! While I could not make it out for this Detroit Gameday, I would like to attend a future one. After all, the Chicago Gameday has welcomed Joshua Dyal and a few others from Detroit several times.

I would like to give a shout out and props to all my peeps at gameday. I had a really good time at my first organized role playing event. Definitely sold on doing it again. Hopefully met some people I can play with in the future.

Thanks to Stockdale and Quickbeam for running entertaining games. I enjoyed them both. Just to let you know John, the ineptitide of my dice rolling continued well into the afternoon. For those of you not in Stockdale's game, I'll just let you know that I was paralyzed in fear most of the morning session. Mind you that I was not in fear of just one creature, but almost all that we encountered. I'm pretty sure the new dice I bought at Pandemonium were infused with bad mojo which also spread to my old dice. They clearly should have been returned.

Thanks again everyone.

I'm sorry about missing the afternoon, but a family issue arose at lunch and I was unable to return.

I really enjoyed Stockdale's game (I turned ALOT of undead...) and really had fun with the whole atmosphere.

See you all soon, whenever someone wants to be crazy enough to schedule another.

Oh, and I almost forgot -- I nominate for the most memorable quote I heard all day -- "Hold on a second. Piss does damage?"

My nomination from Steading of the Hill Giant Chief... We had just finished a hit-and-run attack on part of the hill giant's fort. We teleported way back into the woods where hopefully they couldn't chase us.

DM (Qstor): Rogue, it's your turn.

Rogue: Wait, how far away are we now? From the giants?

Party: About 400 feet...

Rogue: Okay I flip em the bird... Is that a standard action?

Not that their an afterthought, but I think that JoshDyal and Shadowlight deserve a big rock-star thank you for setting this game Day up and to Pandemonium for hosting it. So thank you.

Yeah, I think they both deserve a big hand. I hope everyone bought something to keep the store happy

I'm looking forward to the next one. Hopefully we'll have a bigger turnout. I'll be glad to run another game.

Thanks to all my players of Steading hope you enjoyed it!

Well, now we want to know how he ruled on that -- standard or free action?

As a quick note; I'll probably start up a story hour for my morning game, once I gather up my notes that had the character's names on them. I had lots of fun running that one.

Well first I would just like to say thanks to everyone who organized the event and to those who ran games. Speaking for those in my group who do not post here, the four of us from the east side had a blast and we're very interested in attending another Game Day.

In the morning session, I played in Joshua's Southern Exposure game. It was my first time playing with the D20 Cthulhu rule set and the first time in a long time that I played a Delta Green-inspired game. Joshua, the game was fantastic from the color handouts to the quick pacing. Thanks alot. I think if nothing else we proved that old academic milkshakes can still kick alien and young whipper-snapper a**. And I hear the Hoffman Institute has a wonderful retirement plan for those left to babbling idiocy.

In the evening session, I played in LazarusLong's high-level game. He did a wonderful job running us through a particularly inventive module. The pre-gens were very interesting and the adventure premise was great. Finally, the villain was tough and realistic, but seemed to be particularly vulnerable to 136 HP Empowered Fireballs!

All in all, we had great time and look forward to the next Game Day.

Did I have any influence in the character choice?


Peace and smiles

What makes you think everything revolves around you?!?

Seriously, though, the answer is of course. I really enjoyed your AU game, and truly like the Oathsworn class. This gave me a chance to play one at a higher level, and dabble with a different race. What made this PC totally over-the-top was his Monk's (Oathsworn's) Belt. It effectively made him a 12th level Oathsworn for the purposes of Unarmed Combat and AC modifiers. During our first encounter his three hits (bolstered by the shock damage from the Hands as Weapons feat) during one round of combat amounted to 60 points of damage. Yikes!!

As it happens, I misread Stockdale's request that we use starting NPC gold for equipping the characters, and instead gave him PC gold for a 7th level character. Nonetheless, it was a great game.
