The HIVE 90210-911: Volume 2: Extreme Ultimate Home Edition; Gone Wild w/ Nano-Bots!

[Mathew_Freeman]

Morning, Hive!

The short version of last nights game goes like this:

Party meets goblin excavators, gets them to surrender, then Wizard tries to put them to sleep without properly checking his spell description, fight breaks out, party wins.

Party meets group of zombies, wins.

Party meets skeletons, wins.

Party meets Old Dead Knight Dude, answers questions, gets treasures, wins.

The group did a lot of winning last night, but I'm grinding them down on healing surges. Next week, when they face some more (tougher) zombies, they might have a bit of a shock. And when they meet the Hobgobs on level 2 - then I think they'll get a rude awakening.

Excellent game last night. 4e is working really well for my group.

Glad to see your group was full of win.

Cool.

The Blues Brothers is on... which reminds me, I need to buy Animal House (since no self respecting John Belushi fan would not own that movie).

I love that film! It's in my top three.

"It's 105 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigaretts, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses..."

Gah! I really want to download the Character generator from Wizards - but if I restart my computer I think I'll lose something else that I can't sort out myself.

It's also not really possible to go ask the person who set it up to do it again - at least, not for this reason. So now I have to get a bunch of work done quickly before I can play.

Gah! Stupid need for money! Stupid job!

Hey all, I'll do one of those what I've been doing this weekend posts for a change

I visited old friends from when I used to live in Lancaster, still freaky going back to a place I spent 7 years of my life in and knowing that I'll only be there for a few days.

I was happy to be reminded what good friends I had up there and quite sad that they are over 2 hours away by train and I can't just nip round for a cup of tea and a chat anymore.

But heyho it was good stuff drank to much Friday and slept in my lovely hotel room (one night only unfortunately bit to pricey for the whole weekend) waking up to a lovely fried breakfast.

Played through a lot of Gears of War 2 with a mate and brought some new work clothes and DS games on the Saturday (oh also watched Big Trouble in Little China, I so want to play Jack Burton (Kurt Russels character) as a RPG character).

Sunday watched some football had a mixed grill hmmmm, went to one mates house chilled out with tea and some vodka talking to him and his new other half for some hours, then called up another mate and wandered over to his in the rain and the hail to chat some more with some tea and some wine (we got to the newsagents 2 mins before it stopped serving) and then trudged back to my mates house where I was staying where we chatted a bit more and went to bed at 3am.

I then came back to Birmingham on the Monday feeling under the weather (booze related)

all in all good times!

Sounds like a fun weekend.

Not to threadjack (because there's enough on it already) but I've downloaded the chargen test from WotC and blimey, it rocks! Once this thing goes fully live with up to 30th level characters, I honestly can't see myself using anything else. Brilliant. And it'll be updated monthly, too.

Is the Hive dying?

We need to enroll some new members, and fast!

Or maybe we're just going through one of the periodic downturns of the Hive, where it all gets a bit quiet. Hey ho.

I'll start something, and see what happens when I get back:

"One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow. One man and his dog went to mow a meadow."

"Two men went to mow, went to mow a meadow. Two men, one man and his dog and a halfling Warlock, went to mow a meadow."

"Three men went to mow, went to mow a meadow. Three men, two men, one man and his dog and a Halfling Warlock and the cast of High School Musical, went to mow a meadow."

You see how it works. Please continue!

Oh, and Goodnight, Hive!

Is the Hive dying?

Don't worry, I suppose some weeks are slow, some are strong...

Busy week....1) fun-filled weekends all around, 2) fiancées, boy/girlfriends and husbands/wives, 3) video games 4) gaming (whether face-to-face or pbp), 5) Steady Job

1) Check, 2) Check, 3) Check, 4) Check, 5) Jobless

This doesn't bode well for the hive.

The fact that I don't have a job is a good thing for the hive though.
