North Carolina Game Day VI: January 29

[Jon Potter]

Henry-

While going through some of my old rpg goodies from back in the day, I happened upon a 1E DM time-saver that I used in virtually every session I DMed. It's a combat-wheel-thingie that was in an old issue of Dragon.You line up the arrow on the monster's AC and the "to hit" values for the Fighter, Magic-User, Cleric, and Thief line up in four little windows.

For me, it sure beat referring to the charts every time. I'd be happy to lend it to you for the session if you'd like.

 

[Henry]

Whether I use it or not, I'd love to see the sucker! Bring it on!

 

[Clueless]

As it stands i think you can put me and Wesfox (Shemmie) down for pre-game dinner.

 

[Elric]

That would be great if you have a copy. And your character preference has been noted.

Elric, you may wish to cross post your need for a ride over at the NC Game Day forums. I'm guessing that chances are slim that somebody coming from Durham wants to go for only half the day but I do know that there are people on those forums that don't post here at ENWorld.

Thanks for the advice, Rel. I'll try posting there.

 

[Shemeska]

As Clueless said, I should be there for the dinner. Missed it last time and regretted it.

 

[Mark Causey]

Elric, where in Durham do you live? How long are you staying at the Gameday?

 

[Toras]

No problems with the Governor's daughter, but I may need so personality and back history, cause right now the closest thinkg I can think of is Celma Hiyek from Zorro.

 

[Henry]

Actually, she sounds more like a tomboy than Catherine Zeta Jones (*insert wolfcall here*) was. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking more along the lines of Kate Beckinsale from Van Helsing, based on description.

No problems with the Governor's daughter, but I may need so personality and back history, cause right now the closest thinkg I can think of is Celma Hiyek from Zorro.

Actually that's a pretty good place to start from. She isn't quite as athletic as the Van Helsing character that Henry mentions (though she has a few odd ranks of Climb and Ride) but she's very capable with her rapier.

Her primary focus is academics, observation and courtly intrigue and she can be very sneaky when she wants to be. She's attractive, but bookish with an almost intimidating intellect and knack for insight (certainly moreso than is fashionable for a Victorian woman) and this results in her having no Charisma bonus. I tend to think of her as a sort of female Sherlock Holmes.

Her innate curiousity and self confidence tend to get her in over her head a lot but she's fairly capable and has friends who tend to bail her out of trouble. As a PC, she's sort of the GM's best friend because she is apt to be an adventure catalyst without being the sort who can accomplish the whole thing without the rest of the party.

Status of games

Hey guys,

I was just browsing over the lists on the NC Game Day website, and wanted to give you guys a heads up that all of the RPG games on the website are currently full, so hopefully everyone got into what they wanted. I have one other guy who has expressed interest in running a RPG that may be going up in the next day or so, and there is an RPGA event that is still looking for some players. Not to mention the miniature & board games that'll be going on too.

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
