Ola Hive!

Apparently I am getting old, a few years ago staying up for 31+ hours would not leave me feeling like a wreck

3 more hours of work then i can go home and sleep

Sleep is over rated.













and if you believe that then so is food and sex.

I've always wondered, what exactly are story hours? Are they the retelling of games that were actually played in story form? Stories that were created using the game rules? Or both?

Generally they are narrative stories retelling what a DM's group did during a game session.

Some are also pure fiction

Mine are where I make the characters and do it up as BOTH player and DM since I don't have a group anymore. I then put it into written form and often made more colorful. This allows me to get crazy with the plots (especially something like my Strikeforce stuff) while still like I'm doing something with the game.

Wait... also what about New Avengers? I keep hearing that it might have started unraveling OMD and BND (not to mention Stan Lee's Spiderman newspaper Strip saying "BND " was a dream) but I'm not sure what exactly happened since I don't read the avengers.

The running story in New Avengers is all about Dormandu and his seeking power thru a human host known as "The Hood".

First he organized a proper Masters of Evil where they work together and watch out for each other. Most of the villians are second rate but that is not saying low level. They go from Jigsaw to the Wreckers in power and style.

Currently Dr. Strange is "stepping down" from being the Sorcerer Supreme since he used dark magic to save the world recently and his magical artifacts are seeking out a new host. The Hood is trying to capture these artifacts to become the new Sorcerer Supreme. The scarey part is it has been revealed whom the next sorcerer is to be and I think I would have preferred the Hood to have had it.... even Rom would have been better.... US 1 even... well maybe not.

What I enjoy most about my Strikeforce: Morituri characters is creating characters that are NOT DnD and making them work in 3.5 DnD.


The current character I am doing is Megamania 2009.

He is a James Bond-type character with low level powers and a cyborg arm.

In Eberron there is a magical item that is basically a mechanical arm. check
His energy gun does between 10 and 30 points of damage and runs out of charges. It is a ray-style attack. so that sounds like a wand of Magic Missiles. He is incredibly fast and agile. Give him magic enhancers that can be built as technological enhancers.

I thourghly enjoyed creating Storm in the first story arc and making her a 18th level sorcerer with a few Energy Substitutions metamagic feats. She felt and worked as powerful and colorful as the "real" Storm. but then I made her undead. I can be such a Rat-Bastard.

The other fun with this type of storyline is the craziness.


Hate Elminister? Place team in a world where he is evil and let 'em loose.


Also comparing worlds.

I had fun having a cleric freak out when someone used CPR to save a teammate. The Cleric is convinced the CPR given is a cleric of hedonistic punishment and he of cource is convinced that as an elf he is more of a she.

If you like low brow humor and the mixing of genres give Strikeforce: Morituri a try. Links are below in my signature.

The Captain (Captain America ala 1942) Fighter 20

Megamania (1999 fighting fate where he is to kill the Anti-Christ) 9 rogue/9 Spellfire

Christina of the Mace (a favorite of mine- Ravenloft priest with a curse on her- every time she a version of Ravenloft she sees her mother die. You would have to read it to believe it ) Cleric 18

Vander Stormbreaker (Mercenary from Athas from before the Cleansing Wars fully broke out) Fighter 9 / Psy Warrior 9

Storm (Weather based Sorcerer whom was made into undead by the bad guys in an attempt to turn her) Sor 18

Fought-

Maestro (aka futuristic world conqueror Hulk) whom is sent to Ravenloft

Jaws of Sorrow Undead Spell Stitched Enlarged Dire Shark.... oh...my...gawd

Jarella Doppleganger psion, rogue, assassin

Dragon Hoard televised game where Vander tests his ability against a psionic mind flayer host of the show while the others face a Huge Adamantine Golem and a Blue Dragon.

I'm doing 3D modelling for fun! And it is fun! Also slightly frustrating... Blender is one messy piece of software, but it also works very well.

Ah, the joy of non-intuitive, "powerful" interfaces on a non-widescreen...

But my first model for CivIV is finished! But not animated...

Cheers, LT.

So, who is supposed to be the new Sorcerer Supreme? Older character? Someone new?

Summon bigger undead fish?


Lowbrow humor isn't all that bad. More often it tends to be better then high brow "Let's talk in fake British sounding North Eastern US accent" type of humor.
