Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Acad. Revisited, OOC02

[renau1g]

Well watchout for our "homeland security", the Mounties might ask you politely to leave as they pull up on their horses (yup we still have them)

 

[Leif]

You're probably too young to remember Blue Oyster Cult's song "The Red and the Black," but I know Lou and Scotley know it. (Lou used to laugh maniacally whenever he would hear that song!) Anyway, the song sings the praises of the mounties, and it's a really cool song. I recommend that you check it out if you don't already know it. It came out in about 1980 or 1981, I think, maybe?

quote:
"Canadian Mounted baby, a police force that works!
Red and black, it's their color scheme
Get their man
In the end
(It's alright)
(It's alright)
Come on baby,
You know it's alright"

No I don't know that one, my only BOC knowledge is limited to Godzilla (fun song) and the legendary (Don't Fear) The Reaper (go Christopher Walkin ).

P.S. we played the first adventure in my age of worms game and it was a blast. We RP'd for nearly the entire first session (4 hours) with one short encounter to set up the campaign's first adventure (gaining a map to a previous undiscovered tomb).

(Don't Fear) The Reaper and Burnin' For You
are my favorite BOC songs, but Godzilla, The Red and the Black, Veteran of the Psychic Wars, 7 Screaming Dizbusters, Joan Crawford, and select others round out my Top 25 List. There was a time when I owned every single BOC album. The last one that I bought was, I think, Club Ninja. That's the last one that I remember anyway. And it's not very memorable, either.

You don't have to rub it in, dude! There are some of us who would commit great mayhem just to be able to play a face-to-face D&D game on a regular basis. *sigh* I guess that Mowgli and I could put something together. Maybe we can round out the party with his wife and daughter?

 

[renau1g]

It's my first time playing in a long while, having the last group fall apart once they learned my wife was pregnant with twins...we'd been gaming for 10 years and then they just disappeared. A well, I s'pose in 12-13 years or so I'll have at least two more potential players all grown up.

P.S. I just came back from lunch and Don't Fear the Reaper was on the radio. Good Stuff. Oh and am listening to Burnin' for you, I've definitely heard it before (great tune), just didn't know the name.

P.P.S. - I'm working on Xavier right now, illusionist rock!

 

[renau1g]

All done

 

[Leif]

While you're listening to "Fire of Unknown Origin" (at least I presume that you had the cd, since you could listen to it at will) be sure and play "Veteran of the Psychic Wars", too. I think it comes right after "Burnin' For You," or soemthing like that. And the song "Fire of Unknown Origin" is also one of my faves.

Just checked out Xavier! Man, he is one seriously butt-kickin character! I can't believe that you would EVER desert a game he was in. Shame on you!

 

[Leif]

But ALL the Whirtlestaff's Wizards are awsome characters! ....now if I could just convince you guys that you should work together with each other when choosing spells to prepare so that you could have all the schools of magic thoroughly covered, with added depth for some standbys like magic missile and mage armor.

 

[renau1g]

Bah! you know how wizards are, keeping to themselves and reading their books and scrolls... jk. I know that Xavier is more focused on spells that bind or slow or otherwise hamper the enemies, if one of the other wizards can focus a bit more on damaging spells and maybe a few Summon spells to help out our front line.

As for the songs, I went onto Youtube and have been listening to them.

songs: Cool. I can't do that because a) we're not really allowed to have music playing, and b) my computer has no speaker anyway. But since you can do it, be sure and listen to "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" and "Black Blade." Those are the two songs that lead singer and 'stun-guitarist' Eric Bloom co-wrote with Michael Moorcock, author of the Elric books and the entire Eternal Champion Cycle.
