The Hive Is Alive!

Btw, I need a good name for a condition that is between Dazzled and Blinded in severity.

Why? Blinzled?

Glared-Out might work! I'll try it out for starters at least. Was thinking about a condition where you get suddenly exposed to bright light, but its more significant than simply dazzled.

Wikipedia had some suggestions, but they were a bit too scientific for a D20 game.

Flashed!

Oh no, I've been flashed!

Isn't that normally a good thing?

Depends on who's doing the flashing!

If we didn't have the "Eric's grandmother" rule on the forums, that statement would provoke me to link a gruesome picture of some sorts. But oh well, wouldn't want her to cut of Eric's supply of cinnamon cookies, now would we?

Always amuses me when people with little or no knowledge of modern science try to explain fantasy setting phenomena using scientific terms.

Gravity are diminutive squirrel-gnomes pulling you down from the Squibrolic plane! Whats a squirrel-gnome? Sqome? Gnirrel?

Been playing BLADESTORM: The Hundred Years' War lately and it's getting crazy. It first started as realistic model to 14th century with mercenary companies from around the europe. Then at some point the game added Roman Spearmen to the war. The West Roman empire had fallen almost millenia before. Now ofcourse they could be Byzantine Romans but it was stretching a bit...

Then a few stages later comes mongols. Yeah okay, they had been driven out a century before but it's still credible.

Later still there comes ninjas. Well okay, every game needs ninjas right. And samurai ofcourse, who came a few stages later.

At this point I'm starting to ponder, who were the parties at 100 year's war again. French and English? Then why the heck is my battlefields littered with mongols, romans, japanese, chinese, arabians, africans and vikings? The only French and English are the commanders?

Then I was given a squad of magicians !

I'm just waiting for the game to give me some aliens to command now .

Sorry, just venting my frustration on this "excessive grinding needed" game...

Yeah, especially if it is a guy or a girl.

Plenty of good ones out these days. I do Call of Duty 4 or Tiberium Wars when I got friends over with laptops, quite decent multiplayer games. When I'm alone, its either Civilization, Heroes of Might and Magic and even Settlers 6! Gosh its fun seeing those little fellas scuttling about, chopping wood and whatever.

Well... think about it this way.. if they start going nuts with "historical accuracy" it could end up as.. *shudder*.. the F-Game that is not to be mentioned.

You ever heard of NetHack. I think there's links to the download page in the bottom of that wiki article.
