I was also recently drafted to voice the promotional video for my manufacturing company, oddly enough. But given the number of re-takes I had to do, that wasn't a great accomplishment. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As for the gameday, my thanks to the many kind words; I have far more for all of you, both Rel and those in my games. The AD&D game had a stunning NINE players, and here I was worried at first about making quorum! We all I think had a pretty good time as a one-shot, and a reminder that the quality of fellow gamers overshadows whatever game you're running.My favorite moments were not so many quotable quotes, but some fun events in-game:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Corlon playing the most effective halfling thief in all existance with 1's and 2's on multiple percentile rolls.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Die Kluge's Cleric locked in a life-and-death struggle for about 6 rounds with a hill giant (life and death meaning NEITHER could hurt the other for that long)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Toras fricasseeing 3 stone giants & Adamantine Angel's fire elemental with a near-max damage flame strike, while the elemental just soaks the damage and keeps going</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Corlon's brave halfling thief holding the line against a cloud giant while Jon Potter's dwarf, near death, flees for healing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Corlon drinking a super-heroism potion, only to have ALL the bonus hit points hacked off a round later.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cthulhu's Librarian, with an enlarge spell, pretending to be a hill giant through half of the adventure, and pulling a Lizzie Borden on an amorous hill giantess. Well, that one might qualify more as creepy, but it was definately dramatic. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></li> </ul>As for Rel's Sky Galleons game, Carlotta is a fun, evocative character, though I may not have done former player Lola justice in her character, as my Carlotta was a little more... confrontational. But hey, oppressed Venusian natives were at stake! Something had to be done, and that Captain Umbridge was certainly doing nothing about it! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Favorite moments:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Carlotta attempting to seduce sailors guarding a sky-boat. With me in the role, I pretty much had the savoir-faire of a nun trying to seduce a bunch of sailors.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Captain Umbridge saving Carlotta from falling from a tree: "We need nothing fancy, woman, just CLIMB!" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Carlotta FAILING to save Captain Umbridge from falling seconds later. "Sorry!"</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Budrajah the bodyguard, trying to same his charge, Governor's Daughter Lizzie Jameson, by getting into a Triceratops Howdah unexpectedly quickly - the triceratops mauled him and tossed him into the air INTO the howdah. "We shall speak nothing of this to your father, Miss..."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And running over a velociraptor while driving a Triceratops was fun, too... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> </li> </ul></blockquote>
