[Hivemind] Lord of the Boards: The Return of the Hive

[Crothian]

Tanil's Fox is in Creature Collection 1, and the option of using it as a familar is in the Players Guide to Wizards, Bards and Sorcerers. So, I decided to have my Sorcerer get one.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

ah, that'd explain why i never saw it. I have hardly any sword and sorcerey stuff.

 

[Crothian]

It's a running gag for me in this campaign. My character name is Mesos, whisch is the name of a Titan in Scarrled Lands who is responsible of the Sorcerer's power, my Fox is named Tanil, the hunter wilderness goddess. I'm just borrowing heavy from that setting for character names and having fun with it sincve no one in this campaign is familair with any of it

Another installment of the Hiver Hall of Fame


Terraism (Monday, 12/22/03) - Another newcomer who posts a bit more infrequently than some. UPDATE: Seems to be particularly good at helping Randomling have ideas. Some of which lead to new forums, .pdf products and who knows what!

Quathia (Tuesday, 12/23/03) - Another Dutch personage! Also tall, she's a notable expert in the art of making excellent costumes for Live RPG's. Witness her Cthullu and fear her wrath!

Eternal Knight (Wednesday, 12/24/03) - Hivemind Drone #48732 has been sucessfully assimilated. He just won't admit it yet. But he has a good avatar, so I'm putting him in now. UPDATE: He's running a website for a fan based D&D setting, amongst other things.

Buttercup (Thursday, 12/25/03) - We're very glad to have her onboard, because as you know, Everyone Loves Buttercup. Ah, what I mean is, she's terribly nice and well liked. Yeah, that's it.

Bulak (Friday, 12/26/03) – Was born in Egypt. In pursuance of a royal command that all male infants be destroyed, Bulak, to escape this fate, was laid in a basket among a clump of bulrushes on the banks of the Nile, and there discovered by the daughter of Pharaoh, who adopted him as her son. When arrived at manhood, Bulak began to form plans for the deliverance of the slaves from bondage. The Lord commanded him to guide the slaves out of captivity into the Land of Canaan. He accordingly conducted them through the Red Sea into the wilderness, and became their apostolic chief and law giver.

Goodlilgabi - (Saturday, 12/27/03) - Another American, this one still at college, gabi is posting in between her very busy schedule at school, for which I think she deserves some credit - most Hiveminders have tended to put work second to posting! gabi is also a personal friends, and I'm incredibly glad I met her in York.

Morbidity - (Sunday, 12/28/03) - The scene at GenConUK this year when I met Morbidity for the first time remains one of my funniest gaming stories. This pleasant Aussie lady uses Death as her avatar, and she's certainly got the wit to cut you to the bone! Also shows a liking for musicals, which in my book (or my site, which this is) that's never a bad thing.

Hivemind Dramatic Reading:

Tonight's installment comes from The Klingon Dictionary by Marc Okrand. Please picture the voice of your favorite Klingon or nemesis reading the following passage:

The Sounds of Klingon
It is difficulat to describe accurately the sounds of the Klingon language without using complex phonological and anatomical terminology. What follows, therefore, is intended to give only a guide to pronunciation. The best way to learn to pronounce Klingon with no tace of a Terran or other accent is to become friends with a group of Klingons and spend a great deal of time socializaing with them. Very few non-Klingons speak Klingon without an accent.

the games in motion here. After several minor encounters, bandits, hyenas, kobolds, two martial arts challeges and one 1/2 black dragon kobold, the pc's are leveling. They took some serious beatings, but got lucky on encounter rolls when they really needed to.

 

[LrdApoc]

Sounds like fun. Not sure the BESM d20 style fits my group or me but I've always liked anime

In other news I am no longer doing anything with Emerald Press.. so I'm going to concentrate on free stuff for awhile and possibly concentrate on doing some interior/ Layout work on things I write for a change.. at least then I know I can get some answers.

Yeah, just cleared out the house. It was fun session, but the rules will take some getting used to. Not completely sure i like them, but hey seem to catch that anime flare pretty well. The biggest problem seems to be that it was written in a way that makes it hard to get, and there's very little in the way of examples of play. The important thing is we had fun and i've got them to the spot were the adventure really begins. Hopefully my dragonomicon will show in time to use it for the next game in two weeks. They're tougher than normal pc's for thier level, so i need to really run the monsters smart and use every trick i can find to make it a challange.

Good afternoon everyone. I am at home with my 4 yr old and we are watching the 30th anniversary edition of school house rock on dvd. It includes every song ever created.

I can not believe the amount of things in this two disc dvd set. Its insane how many songs that there is.

Its also weird to watch it.. makes me feel old.
