Discussion for a Kingdom of ashes OOC II

[The_Universe]

As it turns out, Kat's Mom has apparently laid claim to her for the whole weekend--which means that we'll be down a player (Kat and I are already trying to figure out what L'Aurel will be doing) no matter when we play. Based on that, when do you guys want to get together and vanquish some unholy draconids?

There's also the possibility of getting together at another time this weekend (or quitting a little bit early) to do something OTHER than play. Watch a movie perhaps? Play a game (not an RPG?) Murder a hobo?

Liz and I are thinking about going to see Hidalgo (what she wants to see) or Starsky and Hutch (what I want to see) or both (everybody'd be happy!) this weekend. Anyone care to join us?

One of the things I truly appreciate about this group is that we're not just a gaming group--we're friends. If this weekend won't work, let's get together and do something outside of RPing soon!

Unearthed Arcana

Anyone know if Unearthed Arcana is good or not? I read the review at wizards.com and all that i know is that Unearthed Arcana gives the option to change the hitpoint system of D&D to the Vitality/Wounds system more commonly associated with Starwars D20. Along with some other pretty sweet looking stuff such as the monk fighting style variant, and the prestige paladin. However most people say that all of the variants are available online if you look around long enough.

I don't know if it's good or not, it's gotten mixed reviews. Let me know if you know anything.

Unearthed Arcana

I have it. It's good. Not all of the variants work well together (in fact, most do not) but all of them can be added to a D20 game depending on the "flavor" you want to produce.

It's on my shelf at home--this weekend look at it, and then you can decide if you want to buy it. It's definitely a DM's book for the most part, not so much for players (although there are some things that are useful).

Does that help, Gertie?

Any particular reason sunday works better for you?

I think that Sunday is probably the only day that I would want to play based on the number of people that will be present..
However, I am not keen on playing without people at such a crucial point in the game... I do not think that it makes sense for us to split up at this time and, as such, trying to fit it into the story that Kat just happened to slip away and do something else is not something that I think Justice would support...

So, I would say that we should probably just not play this weekend... those of us that are free should get together, go see a movie, and hang out...

However, if that is not something that people are willing to do-- well then, we'll just have to split up...

There's my thoughts...
Cheers.

Bored

So, I have a bit of time to kill until 3:30, so I've been exploring Amazon.com. Did you know there is an official D&D Roleplaying Soundtrack? Not from the movie, but a soundtrack just for playing D&D...crazy.

Welcome to the boards!

Also, in case you're wondering, Kat-Rodney's tag on the boards is Moridin. Look around for him and say "hi!"

better late then never?

hey look, "it's me a'Mario!"
or mik as the case may be. here are my two cents after reading ALL of the posts at once(i'm a binger).
the guerilla war sounds like the best idea. i say we route the women and children west to the major cities as we the heroes and every available person with a sharp pointy stabber hold back the tides of darkness just long enough to get the bulk of the refugees out. while the refugees head west, we draw the horde's fire as we head towards Khaz Modan. all the while fighting as Jerimiah said: utilizing ambush and evasion tactics with ranged weaponry. once we get to Khaz Modan we can take out whatever pursuit forces the horde sent after us, mind you their dragons will be quite ineffective in an underground battle. once those forces are defeated, we send word to the refugees about our state, maybe trying to escort them to Khaz Modan. meanwhile we send word to all of those that will listen of the current plight and our plan to battle it. while all of this is going on we train and operate agaisnt the Horde in Oceanus.
my two cents.

and another thing!

oh, and sunday will work, but i'm free after the parade on saturday.

 

[The_Universe]

Okay--here's the deal! I think we should play saturday (since Kat and Greg are both out all weekend) around 4:30/5:30. Does that give people enough time to get here?

Or, does everybody prefer sunday (becaus if you all do, we can certainly play then)?

Friday, those of us who are free should go see the movie, and then maybe play something that's not an RPG--maybe Munchkin? Star Munchkin? Double Dash? Super Monkey Ball?
