North Carolina Game Day VI: January 29

[Henry]

Actually, he's in Atlanta (Stone Mtn. to be exact), and it's a little far. Heck, the main reason I can make it is that I work near the state line; more than 2 hours and I don't know if I'd have done as many repeat visits as I have. For the record, I've never regretted it.

I found out earlier today about at "secret funny" from the Game Day:

It appears that during the Sky Galleons of Venus game that Henry slid a note to my pal, Riggs. It said (if Riggs is recounting the tale correctly):

(A) Hooker?
(B) Damsel in distress?

This was in seeking how Henry's character, the defrocked Spanish Nun turned Pirate, should attempt to lure the German sky sailors off of their ship. For those not in the game, TWO of them accompanied her as she left the docks. And she was NOT in distress.

They're sailors. Couldn't that have built a vaguely looking female dummy? They never would have known the difference. Free money!

PS: No one tell Randi about Carlotta.

PPS: Nevermind. She would have come up with it on her own. Only, she would have found a way to get the whole crew off the boat, had them running around the docks naked, and the sailors would have thought it was their idea.

Kudos for Henry for going the extra mile....

I concur.

PS: I like Henry a lot, but I swear to you that we would not have roleplayed a single word of this encounter past, "I close my eyes and think of England."

PPS: And Carlotta isn't even FROM England!

I feel vindicated.

That was one of those instances where it's GOOD that d20 has a social skills mechanic. As I said before, my wording was even worse than what a nun would have actually come up with - more like a quarterback trying to seduce a cheerleader.

Luckily for you, most men (sailors in particular) respond well to "you wanna?"

That's what we in the GMing business call a "circumstance bonus".

By the way, Henry, is it possible that you could send me the "bullet point" sheet you made for your Eberron Game at NCGDV? I could really use something like that to get my gang up to speed in a hurry.

 

[Henry]

Sure thing, Rel. In fact, when I visit I was planning on bringing you a CD with a bunch of my eberron maps, fact sheets, etc. that I've collected. Hopefully, you can put them to some use.

BTW, based on a conversation we had Saturday, I found this from Paul Stromberg on Dragonsfoot, regarding "Gleepwurp the Eyebiter" and various other tournament characters:

Against the Giants
---------------------
Gleed* "a glowing ember or burning coal" Wurp "of superior quality" Eyebiter "Eyebite: to bewitch with the eye"

*I have the original G1-3 tournament character sheets from '78 and it is not "Gleep Wurp the Eyebiter" as in the published modules but "Gleed Wurp the Eyebiter"! I couldn't find Gleep as a word anywhere but Gleed is a glowing ember or burning coal. That works!

Cloyer "Cloy: to gratify beyond desire" Bulse "purse or bag for diamonds" Magsman "thief"

Roaky "dark; misty" Swerked "mystified"

Frush "batter; beat" O' "of" Suggill "Suggillate: to beat black and blue"

Fonkin "a little fool" Hoddypeak "an egregious blockhead"

Flerd "flock + herd" Trantle "possesion of little value"

Redmod "?" Dumple "dumpy; made little"

Faffle "stammer; stutter" Dwe'o-mercraeft "spell crafter"

Beek "to bask" Gwenders "comely" Croodle "soft cooing"


Descent into the Depths of the Earth
------------------------------------------
Fonkin "a little fool" Hoddypeak "an egregious blockhead"

Beek "to bask" Gwenders "comely" Croodle "soft cooing"

Fnast "pant" Dringle "one who likes to waste time"

Keak "cackle" Breedbate "one who likes to start fights" Nithe "a base individual"

Darg "a day's work" Blonke "horse"

Ycore "comely" Rixle "mixed-up" or "rule"

Shab "to play mean tricks" Heanling "a base person; a wretch"

Fage "clever beguiler" Kexy "brittle"

Philotomy "lover of law" Jurament "to swear; to take oath"

TOLD YA.

 

[Rel]

TOLD YA.

Indeed, sir, you are capable of defending the indefensible.

Hey, Rel - Are you able to establish a Gameday 6 Photo Gallery by chance? Apparently, logging into the photo gallery is only possible for admins, and I had about 13 photos I wanted to post.

Thanks!
