The Hive Is REALLY Alive!

[Mathew_Freeman]

Speaking of ex-girlfriends and other things, I met someone on the way to work that I first met before I was married, and I have to confess she looked good. Nothing happened first time around, but not for want of me wanting, as it were.

Still, I am genuinely happily married and nothing is going to happen, but it's nice to meet someone unexpectedly and have them look really pleased to see you!

And again, I say unto the Hive - FNORD!

Interesting idea. So you basically make it as classless game, giving them abilities and powers by consept rather than by class? Oh and you might want to remove the "d" from your spoiler-tag .

I'm actually hoping that taking the focus away from classes and choosing powers and items will lead them to concetrating on how they visualise their character which will lead to more descriptions of actions in and out of combat.

rather than the I cast I get an AC of 24 and do 9 points of fire damage.

We'll see though.

If organized religion is the opium of the masses, then disorganized religion is the marijuana of the lunatic fringe.

I do so hope you're not saying FNORD just for the gist of it, but actually know the origins...

Damnit, I need a new gaming group... We all agreed that we'll arrange time to play every other sunday. We've had chance to play 4e once right after the release and after that every sunday few of the others are saying that no, can't come this time, maybe next time.

I give up now... It's supposed to be fun for all of us, even to the DM (me). I frigging clean the place every time on saturday, and then most of them back out... It's not fun anymore... I need a new group. Guys who are as dedicated to the game as I am...

I find if someone wants to game once every two weeks they tend to be unreliable in my experience, the only times I've ever missed a session is when I've gone on holiday which I explain to the DM a few weeks in advance usually.

I think its some cheek for a person to create and run a game for your enjoyment and then bail every/most session/s especially if they don't give prior notice.

Blackrat your more than welcome to come join our gaming group but we happen to be in the Uk

I for one would dump my Wednesday game, where last nights session consisted entirely of talking to NPC's of which my character was involved for 20 minutes maybe, utter trite ;(

So how far is Birmingham from London anyway ? I might someday take you on that offer . Girlfriend got a job offer from London, open indefinetly. We have been talking about moving there, but that remains to be seen...

On another note, does any of my fellow Hivers have Xbox Live Gold and Soul Calibur 4? Might you be interested to engage in some mutual bashing some weekend?

Ohh might be the push I need to get that game, was a big fan of the first 2 skipped the 3rd one though, however I noticed in my time working at a game shop that they tend to get discounted heavily in about a month or two after release which is why i've been waiting.

Birmingham is a bit far away from london at least 2 hours by train however that doesn't include getting to the main station in london and to my outlying train station in birmingham so I'd call it 3 1/2 hours, would be cool if us British Hivers/British Dwelling Hivers could organise a weekend/saturday for a one shot and night out esque thing, but thats most likely to be one of those pipe dream things.

This 4 is the first of the series I've played. Mainly got it 'cause I wanted something new to play, and it was so hyped that I expected it to be at least decent. I was pretty let down. But that's 'cause I hoped for at least some sort of story mode (something like in MK:Armageddon). The thing SC4 claims to be story mode, isn't. But I had fun in multiplayer with my friend so it's ok.

I also got the Shadowrun game, which I also got 'cause I expected a game to have somekind of singleplayer-mode. Been laying in the shelf after two days of training, because that's the only single-player content in it. Maybe if I found someone to play tag in Xbox Live, I might even enjoy it .
