Dromus (One) OOC Thread

[Kelleris]

A quick note: I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I won't be able to post much, if at all, next week either. It's that time of the semester for me, so any writing time I have would just be better spent working on one of several essays than typing up posts. My games will resume normal speed (*cough*) after the 7th or so of December. Sorry, everyone.

No prob at all, Kelleris - school comes first....

(can you tell I'm a dad????) LOL!

Thanks, for the heads up! Good luck on the essays.

UPDATE:

I have finished the essays. Yay! The difficult one came out to have 42 footnotes, though. For a philosophy paper, I think that's a good sign.

I have a German final and a pile of assignments for tomorrow, however, so I'm not out of the woods yet. Check this space on Thursday evening, and we'll pick up where we left off. I look forward to starting again!

Best of luck!

The earplugs are like ipod earbuds except they are made of a transluscent, blue crystal. They aren't very noticeable, but they can be seen with a good spot check. The nostrum is delivered via a very nasty looking hypodermic needle. The hostrum itself is a green sludge.

By the way, Jolmo, you can read the spoiler in my latest post.

I might be confused, but the synergy between reservepoints and healing to nonlethal damage seems to work oddly.

Since recovering nonlethal damage costs reservepoints, if you heal a wound, you have to heal it again later to recover those points.

But if you only heal half the wound, you spend only half the amount of reservepoints, since you recover 1 lethal and 1 nonlethal for each reservepoint.

Since you recover nonlethal wounds 24 times as fast as lethal wounds naturally, it seems odd to pay the same fare for them with these points.

Of course, they do still heal 10 times faster with the points, maybe it is worth the trade... I'll just throw this out anyway so I'm sure I understand it correctly.

 

[Kelleris]

Hmm... Well, I'll think about it. For now, the reserve rules are still doing what I want them to do (letting me abuse you and then get the game moving on), so I won't fiddle with them immediately. But thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll figure out something to do.

By the way, I still check this thread regularly. I just wasn't sure how to respond at the moment. Thanks for the heads-up, though.

I'll be offline for a few days, as I'll be dropping off the face of the earth (and into Abilene, Texas). Merry Christmas to everyone, and sorry for the hiatus. It was probably inevitable, though...

*cough* Lotta dust around this here thread. I'll try to liven it up a bit after I get back. Table talk is one of the best things about D&D...

 

[Kelleris]

Okay, I'm back now. My "few days" turned into a couple of weeks, and I apologize for that. I got back from Abilene right before the New Year's Eve celebrations, and a combination of business and bad internet connections has kept me from posting since.

In more positive news, I'm heading back to Baylor tomorrow, so I'll have my beloved high-speed connection back and no more social gatherings to distract me. So we should be back on track...

Expect a fairly lengthy post in both of my Dromus threads tomorrow evening, after I move in and set up my computer. If you don't get one, feel free to post a stick with which I may beat myself.
