The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Without snow Southern Vermont's economy is suffering greatly. My hours have been cut from 32 to 24 at the store. Not good.

I know this was aimed at Aeson but I'll answer also. I am a DM on every other Saturday. We play Eberron. The campaign began 2 1/2 years ago. One member is 16th level and the rest are 13 or 14th level. They are about to discover the secret of Wargorged creations and Cannith's darker secret of creating Warforged.... in secret.

Snow causes Vermont's economy to suffer? How so? Skiing places less ... effective?

Sounds good rpg wise though. I have never played Eberron - never was really interested. But many I know simply love the setting.

I thought it would go down a sexual road. I didn't know it would go that direction.

Keep in mind this was a bunch (12 kids) of 10-16 year olds. If the store manager had any idea what they doing I would like to think he would have stopped it. But considering the amount of money those kids dropped.....I am not really sure.

 

[Aeson]

Yes ... I know what you mean.

I would love some buttered cinnamon raisin toast myself. Don't have any at present. :\ But I think I WILL go make myself a cup of coffee! Hmm. No egg nog though. Oh well.

Tell me ... are the days after the "Christmas rush" and aftermath busy at all? That is, as compared to the rest of the year. Or do things die down somewhat?

What are you playing on Sunday coming? A DM or a player? Has it been going for a while now?

We had hoped for some folks to come in to return stuff. I had a few but not many. It should slow down some until Mothers Day.

I was the DM. I stepped down. I didn't have the time to prepare. I am a player now. When I switched it was mid adventure so I played the now DM's characters. I will introduce my character this weekend. I'm thinking of calling him Aeson.

There is no snow to ski on. 100's of thousands of travelers used to drive through Bennington county to reach the ski places. They are not here.


I love eberron if only -
1- It was extremely similiar to the homebrew I was developing already
2- Encourages over the top game styles
3- Fairly solid game world so long as you are wary of the different writers with the books.
Some read over the material closely and some don't. I suspect that is the case with all published game worlds of that size.

I had several really neat Champions characters.

From the Marvel Universe I had ... Mycanid! In fact that is where the whole catalyst for the screen name and the avatar come from, although of course I do really like the DnD creature too. I also had a fellow named Quarterstaff (sorta a combat mage who had a staff of eldritch energy and who did his magic through the staff), the Apparition (basically a super powered ninja sort who could walk through walls), Reflex ( something a 'la Speed Demon), and then there was Origami (yes, very similiar to the Marvel fella who popped up - although mine was from 1987! I claim copyright! ).

From Villians and Vigilantes the main one I can remember was Mistic - someone who had a magical being dwelling within him (kinda like the Venom suit, except that when it manifested it was as if the hero was enshrouded in mist). I REALLY liked playing this hero. He had flight, increased strength, a sort of telekinesis (a 'la the mist), and flame powers ... hmm. I thought I had his stats around here somewhere....

It's the Shackled City Adventure Path in Forgotten Realms. We've been playing for almost 1 1/2 years and only 7-8 level. We mostly play once a month but sometimes twice.

Sure! Why not? Aeson is a good DnD'ish name, I think. Already have the character prepared and everything, eh? May I ask what level, race, etc.? And what the adventure is about? Oh ... wait ... I see it is Shackled City. Well, how about the character?

Hmm ... what do you mean by this?

I'm still working on the character. He will be an elf, either a duskblade or beguiler. I may try to play one this week and one the next time. I think the classes can be close enough that I can interchange them with out messing things up. My characters evolve as I begin playing them. The concept I start out with may not be the one I finish with.

My most infamous character is Quintin. He started out as a humble half-elf mage/thief. He became the most hated and despised member of the party. Quintin started to lust for power and influence. A ring that he thought should be his started his downward spiral. He tried several times to steal it from the Paladin in the party. Quintin did numerous things against the party. The DM used me as a mole. At one time Quintin was working for The Kingdom of Cormyr, The Zhenterium and a Dragon Cult.
