The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep

[Victim]

Welll... I started June of last year, stopped in February, and picked it up again in Septemembemer. Keep that nice long hiaitus in mind.

Otherwise, t'anks.

As for the epic Legolas stuff, I'm not really reading it, and I don't care... but it does up my view count.

But Gimli isn't epic either.

LOL!!!!!!!

Well, really don't you think that Aragon throwing Gimli was something a normal 10th level character couldn't do? I mean, Dwarven men weigh A LOT!

Not as much as Dwarven women, but still a lot.

Doc, I must say, your fiction rivals what really goes on in the game. You've got a great sense of imagery... "a spot of blood through dark fabric" indeed!

Have you ever considered writing fiction other than just for the story hour?

Have you ever considered writing fiction other than just for the story hour?

Yes. I published a sixteen-volume epic called "The Trials of Scarblood Swordshield and his Intrepid band of Dudes" in June of 1978. Here's an excerpt:

Scarblood wiped the dude's blood off his big ass sword and said "I think he had a splitting headache." Wickat the thief said "Whoa, you cut him in half." Scarblood chopped the body again and said "Correction- fourths." At this, Boobia the barbarian princess threw herself at him and longed for his embrace. "Oh, Scarblood!" she screamed. "Take me!" "Later," he said, dropping her. "I still got a dude to kill."

It goes on like that for four hundred pages per novel.

Err, that is to say no- I haven't given serious consideration to writing fiction. I just don't think I have the stuff. I may be okay for an amateur, but I still can't tell when to use "who" and when to use "whom". I plan to take a writing class this fall when I go to college, though.

Thanks!

Re

If my DM brings back NPC's from the RttToEE, I will strangle him. The weeks following the completion of this module (On the last battle finally), will be spent scrying on the NPC's who escaped and hunting them down.

My sorcerer has kept a running list of the people we have fought that escaped, and he is going to track them down and kill them alone if necessary.

I am about to hang myself because this module is dragging on. At this point, I feel like I am watching a slug crawl.

The following song parody is based upon recent events on this board. It's written from the point of view of our own good Dr. Midnight, and is sung to the tune of "Tie A Yellow Ribbon ('Round the Old Oak Tree)" by Tony Orlando and Dawn. (I apologize in advance if I inadvertantly get that song stuck in your heads all day as a result of reading what follows.)

POST AN "I READ" MESSAGE (TO THE STORY HOUR)

I'm feeling down, I don't know why
Maybe 'cause of late the action's kind of dry
If you're reading this story and there's more you'd like to see
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still read me
If you still read me

Post an "I read" message to the story hour
I've been feeling low
Kind of sad and dour (sad and dour)
If I don't see an "I still read" post there real soon
I won't swear or cuss
I won't make a fuss
I'll just stop what I'm doin'
If I don't see an "I still read" post there real soon

Help me with this insanity
'Cause I'm my biggest critic, don't you see?
I worry 'bout my post count
And how I stack 'gainst PC
A simple "I still read, Doc" is all that I need to see
And so, I'm saying please...

Post an "I read" message to the story hour
I've been feeling low
Kind of sad and dour (sad and dour)
If I don't see an "I still read" post there real soon
I won't swear or cuss
I won't make a fuss
I'll just stop what I'm doin'
If I don't see an "I still read" post there real soon

Now the whole damn board is postin'
And I can't believe I see
...A hundred "I still read" posts waiting there...for...me!

I'll update soon, mmm, mmm

By the way - I want you all to know I had to search for the lyrics for "Tie A Yellow Ribbon" on the Internet before writing the parody version. I don't want anyone thinking I knew the song by heart or anything. Because I didn't. Really.

Gah. I never memorize Discern Lies!

Beautiful, Richards.

I had tears in my eyes there...

Readership

Hey! So a guy gets blocked from visiting the boards at work, and all of a sudden, he doesn't count!

You should be nicer Doc, you almost had to meet me at the Boston gameday, but it filled up so darn fast.

I think I'm feeling a rather hefty bonus to my next DM skill check coming on. I'll have to reread this come Monday (game at 2 PM) to keep it going.

And aren't most (if not all) Bards unoffical? Doesn't that, by definition, make you "Official" to the Bard's guild? And, thus, you get to call yourself Offical. . .

But, hay, wait. After you call yourself offical you won't be offical anymore. Then you'll be unoffical. Which will make you offical again. . .

Just trying to follow that to conclusion might blow Vek's life stone (can't spell that word at all).
