The Hive is hurt.

[Blackrat]

It's not your standard mug that I'm using. It can hold 4 cups of water. I brew enough coffee to completely fill it 3 times a day.

Yeah, that propably amounts to average finn then (I count myself as average in coffee drinking). It sounds like double the size of usual coffee mug.

I went to see Watchmen tonight with my dad. Some thing uncomfortable about seeing a man's dangly bits with your dad. and it wasn't just one scene either. All in all it was a good movie. Not like most comic book movies but at the same time very much like them.

Thats a shame my parents and I are comfortable with that now, (I was less comfortable when they watched eurotrash with us when I was still in high school) it was only like 3 scenes if I remember rightly he was mostly covered up for the rest.

Morning Hive!

Apparently my body does not handle the 9 hours of sleep between friday morning and monday morning as well as it used to. I feel like a wreck this morning.

Possibly though it might be worth it...

I wish I could redo from start my weekend from Fri onwards, but hey its these experiences which make us who we are, I didn't feel myself from Fri Midnight till this morning when I woke up, back on form now though

Hello again hive.

Tried to watch War Wolves. Couldn't get past the first 8 minutes. So I watched I-Man instead.

I don't understand this your patient enough to wait for your first time (I'm barely patient enough for my first time each day ) but you can't give 2hours odd for a film, very odd.

Oh and another thing I started playing fallout 3 last night really good fun, but.

When you start dialogs with people its quite jarring, that options are there that you don't know about yet.
Still the combats kind of interesting and its fun running around with a chinese assault rifle popping bandits heads off

Can't wait to pick up the power armor

I do not fully understand your statement. Jut let me ask you this; when you find a plot uninteresting, do watch the movie to the finish? There are some movies for me that no matter how bad they are I'll watch and rewatch them (especially dino and slasher flicks) as I'm a sucker for 'em. Otherwise, if the movie fails to keep my interest beyond the first 15 minutes, I call shenanigans and get a refund or change the channel.

Yus I watch the film to the finish, how else could I give a fair go and be able to discuss all of its failings properly.
Some great films have slow starts, From dusk till dawn comes to mind, and I would miss out on all that just because I didn't appreciate the start. I say bah! to that
I hope this first 15 mins attitude only relates to films

Masque of Shadows - Campaign Concept

Let me know what you guys and gals think.

Reminds me a bit of Final Fantasies. The first thought I got was Arkadia from FFXII. Not a bad thing, but I can't really say much else from so little info.

So how shopuld I expand my blurb?

Dunno. Give a bit more detailed setting info. I'm not versed in Ravenloft lore, so I don't know what it means when you say "like it without Dark Lords". Nor do I know much about IK or Ptolus either.

So far it feels somewhat like mix of FF12 and FF9 to me. FF9 is somewhat like basic fantasy with steampunk elements thrown in.

I expanded on my setting info for any that are interested.

Actually I think Dusk Til Dawn does fairly well in establishing the plot fairly quickly. It's one of my guilty pleasures.

Yup, only films/movies. I am fairly picky are my tv programming though. I only have about 6 shows per season that I keep up with at most. Anything else I watch is repeats of older shows that have been long canceled (like Married w/ Children, Jericho, Outer Limits, Serenity, etc.).

 

[Desert Hare]

Well, I'm calling it a night. Be back much later.

Don't have too much fun without me.

I had a little read, my mind isn't the most organised but here are some vague ramblings

[sblock=thoughts on campaign setting]
Hmm theres lots of stuff I'd like to know but you can only work on it one bit at a time

time line would be nice, its like a bullet pointed form of history which has shaped your world to how it is today

How has the ascendence of technology/science been received, is it sponsered by the state/republic, are the churches (if there are any) the key supporters or are they weary of this shift in power.
Have people embraced this new power as a religion, I could quite easily see people worshipping the power of technology forming a new cult/religion (Steamers/Technologists - possibly )

The same goes for Magic, divine and arcane, is only the arcane component corrupted or?

Hmm dam that'll be a lot of work, it depends how you build your campaigns though, some people have a vague overarching plan and then start small doing a town at a time, others like to have the whole universe pretty much fleshed out before they start.

I'm no expert at creating campaign settings but I think it would be a nice idea to have a list of the major powers in the world be they nations, religions, guilds or powerful creatures and what the stereotypical member of each of these would think of each other but it depends how political you want to go

Seemed like more than 3 scenes but I wasn't counting.lol I guess it wasn't that uncomfortable. I just prefer not to be in the situation.

she didn't finish Watchmen either. I guess the Iron Will has limits or she saves her resolve for something more important.
