Church Street is a closed off street that only allows walking pedestrians on it. On the very end of it is Earth Prime Comics and above it Quarterstaff Games. Good place to go for jazz.

I haven't been there in YEARS. I'm glad to hear that Quarterstaff Games is still around. We used to head south to Burlington once or twice a year to see gigs that weren't coming to Canada (Chili Peppers a few times, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Ministry, Oi Poloi, Exploited...) and would make sure to spend the afternoon on Church Street.

That was... well... over 13 years ago.

Wow, I was gone for a year, and I only dropped by one page on the user lists by top poster.

Well, I really wanted to game, but due to work and other obligations, I got there at 9 (I went back today and got there at 9:30), which was too late to jump in any of the games.

Though, looking around was cool! And, I bought stuff (how can you go to a con and not buy anything?). It was OwlCon, probably the biggest gaming con in Houston. Steve Jackson even goes every year! Though, I got there too late to see him.

I had a blast! I had been wanting to go for years, but never had the time. So, time permitting, I'm definitely going back next year!

That's cool. I'm glad you had a good time. I hope you get a chance to do some gaming.

All I read.

I played a 15 year old girl swordsage.

So, how you doin?




I kid, Noom God. I don't know much about that class. Which book is it in?

There is a group out of Burlington that is way over board on Vampire LARP. My understanding is the Burlington Police have asked them to leave Church street several times. The hand gestures and spying drove store owners crazy and worried the older folks that visited the street to shop.

Mega wins the thread.

All I read.

Hehe. Everyone bugged me about that for a little bit. They were like 'WTF, a 15 year old girl?'

They stopped making fun of her when I grabbed someone for the first time and threw him. Picturing a little girl grabbing a large man and throwing him 20 feet away was awesome. Throwing people into pits and off cliffs was also fun.

It's in Tome of Battle. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like that book will be allowed in any further campaigns, but I certainly did get use out of it [played my character from levels 1-20]. We had another melee class in the group [duskblade] but when I totally outshined him, he ended up going into archivist and the mystic theurge and became a pretty decent cleric caster and only moderate meleeist.

While I do like the class, too much of it is focused on being offensive with only a little defense and virtually no utility, with the slight exception of the Shadow Hand discipline. [I didn't look at ALL the maneuvers, but certainly enough of them] Being a person who likes utility more than offensive/defensive, I frequently grew tired of the class, but I liked my character enough so that I continued on with her.

I'm playing a Duskblade now. I'm not that impressed. I ran out of spell so I have to rely on my sword until I can rest.

At first I thought you meant you grabbed someone and threw him. I had to read again. I'm not picking on your character again.

That's another of the buff things about the swordsage. After a minute after battle, I get all my maneuvers back, so I don't have to worry about that problem.
