[OOC] A Game of Trust

Hey all,

Saw the recruiting notice and couldn't resist the temptation to drop in

A bunch of my games have gone hot recently, my own two included. But I have always harboured a desire to get back into this. Perhaps as Xiao, or if thats difficult, as something else. I have been picking up a few abandoned shells recently and quite enjoying it. So if there is a character that need a ghost, that could be doable. Did you mention an elf? I haven't played one of those since my HS day IIRC.

I'll pop back in at the end of the week and see how things stand then. If I have managed to get on top of things and you are still looking ...

thotd.

I might also be interested. I've been following the game for a while; probably a little hazy on the details, but I have an overall sense, without needing a synopsis.

If doghead decides he doesn't want to rejoin, I'll see if I can whip up a character concept in the next couple of days. But for the moment, take this only as a tentative expression of interest.
 

doghead: Would you believe I was just thinking to myself "hey, maybe I should try to get in touch with doghead, Xiao would be nice to have back"? So yes, I'd definitely like to figure out a way to work Xiao back into the game -- IMO he complements the group very well, not to mention I just miss some of the classic quotes. :) Let me know where you stand after you've had a chance to look things over; there are more than a few ways to reintroduce Xiao, the more I think of it.

orsal: Naturally a lot depends on what doghead decides, but if you decide you really want a spot, I'll find a way to work you in.

BTW, thanks Sparky for the nice synopsis, and for saving me the trouble. The sixth original member was Merrim, btw. :)
 

DPDX, if I could I'd lend fendric 75 XP. I'd be cursing if I got stranded that close to a level. Maybe Raven and Fendric should go for a quick orc-hunt or sumpthing :lol: .

GP, have you thought about the woodland archer prestige class? Or do you want me to come up with something to get us started?

Doghead, I don't want you in this game. You're a horrible little man who lacks any roleplaying skill whatsoever. You stand for everything a hate in the game and humanity in general. And you have a foul body odor. As a matter of fact, I think you should be banned from the site. I'll personally get in contact with Bill Gates to see if he can cut off your internet acces, and just to be sure I'll pay a large amount of money to some sharply dressed muscular guys to come to your house, break all your fingers and shove the keyboard forcefully where, well, you know what I mean. Let us just say you won't be sitting in front of your pc for a while.

Welcome back :lol: .

Re: Fendric's XP, heh, hadn't noticed that. I'll try to keep the next gap between rewards a bit shorter than it's been, at times, in the past.

Click to expand...

Oh yeah, so that's what caerderhargh.doc was. Given that said file currently describes a patchy Arcane Archer, I think it would make things easier if you came up with a good starting point, and then do any approvals/alterations/additions from there.
 

It's been way too long since I posted to this thread. So much fun, so many wisenheimers. :)

You won't get any complaint from me about Fendric's XP. I hadn't even noticed, really, and now that I do, it's interesting, but not crucial, to figure out what I'm going to do for him at 7th. Let's just play it out, and see what happens. I'd do that damned recurring druid 75 times for 1 XP each, for one thing.

And let me add that not only would it be great to have Xiao in our midst again, but that orsal should think about what he'd like to play, too. If it sounds like I'm constraining Doghead, that's exactly what I'm doing. Doghead, you may only play Xiao. He's too good to leave on the bench. And I think that makes it unanimous. :)

Z. Dude. We got to work on your anger management. :) If I make it to Germany for World Cup, I'm then coming over to Belgium and getting you drunk. End of story.

Anyway, I'm going to bring up a couple of other points to disagree or agree with. Want to hear it? Here it go:

- Much as Uriel is PbP family to me, I think it's time to let Niccolo wander off into the sunset. I liked the little guy, but my man hasn't put a post together in months, and frankly I'm beginning to wonder if this story hour isn't just a large nag hanging over U. in the midst of RL. If we can bring Xiao back, Nico can wander back in later when his player's ready, too. But it's a lot of work for GP to find Nico a role, and formulate him out of whole cloth, and again to be honest, for us to believe that his character serves any useful purpose in or out of game without his player to give him life (or cast a spell or two on his behalf, or make us some scratch).

- Would it be too much of a tell to GP for you guys to tell me when you're healed back up to full? If F. can get an idea of how much he needs to cast, it'll help with his selection, I promise. I've got no pretentions here of making him a boom cleric as opposed to the mobile hospital, but F. isn't exactly weapon master material with the flail, either, so he'd like to reserve some boom for when it's effective. Oh, and also let him know if you'd like to be buffed beforehand. He can help with that, too.

This is still the best PbP game going. Thanks for listening.
 

Dpdx, you're more then welcome, And raven's fine if we don't run into a goddamn earthenware homicidal moose on testosterone again. 49 hp. In one hit. thats 1hp from massive damage. The 1 hp I had left. Phew. I gotta up my AC one way or another.
 

doghead! Yay! Xiao! I still chuckle when I read Festy's sig.

A word for orsal - he's (he?) really active over at LEW and should get this thread hopping. :D Can't wait to see what you cook up. Oh, yeah, because GP didn't mention it (or did he?), you don't have to post a character sheet - and in fact, it's pretty fun to NOT explicitly just what it is your character can do. For me, anyway. Makes it a learning process to work out tactics, and over time, things become plain, but it's cool. Though I think GP does want some insight because of where we are story wise. Anyway.

How many folks are we recruiting GP? One or two or...?
 

Er .. thanks guys. DrZ, its good to know you care. Way too much perhaps ....

Well, you pretty much decided it for me. Time to get the shovel, whack Xiao over the back of the head, and bury him in the bottom of the garden where no one will ever find him.

Quit while you're ahead.

ahead of the dog.

OK. So now about sixth level I take it.
 

Maybe we can name the next chapter "the return of Xiao"

"I'm your father, Xiao"

"But, you're younger than me"

"Bugger, must have picked the wrong mushrooms for dinner then, never mind and welcome back".

You are gonna play Xiao, right?
