Hey all. I'm going on a long weekend, and I dont' think I'm goign to have any internet access until I get back Sunday evening. If anything progresses, I'll trust y'all to have me do something appropriately sneaky. :-)
Have fun - I imagine that things will be a little slow for another week until DMHW returns from the Maritimes.
Bofus will attempt to hide from the herd of stampeding elephants. Woohoo, he succeeds, unfortunately that just means the elephants did not see him before squishing him. Bofus takes 10d10 ⇒ (9, 7, 1, 9, 3, 2, 5, 5, 3, 9) = 53 damage and now resembles a well hidden bowling ball rolling down the street.

You should get into a second game :)
Been thinking about that, you have one looking for a really old newbie?
Auch - auf Deutsch ist schon gut, obwohl ich spreche Deutsch nicht oft uber die letze zehn oder zwanzig jahre.
Tirion Jörðhár |
Yeah, I was just thinking about a "German only" PBP...nae, umm how do you like Cthulhu? I got an open slot in a Cthulhu D20 Campaign?!
Never played - I might have played a little in college, but that was 20 years ago. For right now, I would prefer sticking with one system. Is Cthulhu pretty much the same as D&D/Pathfinder? You have to remember, the last time I played any regular RPG was AD&D, and a little 2nd Edition D&D.

It's pretty much the same, just some feats are different and the character creation, the rolls are the same though (with the addition of sanity rolls)...mhhh however, I can easily understand that you would like to stick to D&D and Pathfinder.
I can also open a slot in my Rise of the Runelords Pathfinder campaign if you're interested.

Rise is one of the standard Pathfinder-Golarian campaigns? If so, I would be interested in joining. What level/classes are you looking for? Do you have a link for the pbp thread so that I can see how it is running?

Hi Guys,
I'm back! We had an amazing time at the Lunenburg Harbor Folk Festival! For the last four nights I've been at a 6 hour concert every night! Wow! There were some amazing musicians there. I'm am inspired to get back to practicing and maybe start composing some more.
Today we drove for about twelve hours and returned from Nova Scotia to Vermont in a single day!
Crazy thing. I bought 3 raffle tickets at the festival and we won the grand prize. Two free flight anywhere that Air (Some Canadian Airline that I forget the name of) flies. This is a $2500 value. We just have to find out if they travel anywhere we want to go.
DM Harpwizard |
I just have to tell you guys that I have missed our little game. I have been in suspense all week knowing what was about to unfold. One of the toughest parts of my job is not posting! I am glad to see you all back. Matthias, I thought I saw you as well! You are going to be greatly needed very soon! Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends!!
Bofus Beerswizzler |
it's funny . . . I was *so sure* that nothing untoward would happen at the concert, that we were all being so careful and cautious as a matter of course but nothing would come of it.
Guess I was wrong. :-)

Hey, if I am going to join your Runelords campaign, what should I be. I am about 1000 posts through it so far. It looks like a magic user would be good - wizard or sorcerer. Or I could be a Oracle, never played one before and would have to think about the background. As I noted, I do not know the Glolarian land very well, but will manage to create a good background.
Finally, how are you creating characters? I see that DMHW took 6 or 7 shots at 4d6, is this the norm. Also, are there any race restrictions, I know that you had a Kobold bard for a short period. I could create a bard if that would fit better.
Let me know, thanks.

Classes don't start until the 29th, so I am here early for training for my position as Inter-Residence Association president. I am student body president of everyone on campus, so I must live in a dorm this year, but this time I get my very own office!
Thordak son of Throtgar |
I'm Back! Thanks, Mantooth!
RIP Cebre!
Welcome Tirion!
Whew! Just finished reading the boards, a lot has happened and it looks like we've gotten into some pretty serious situations!
@Bofus: Thanks for helping Mantooth, but I do want power attack because I have big plans that will eliminate superfluous feats.
@Tirion/all: I am fine with taking the ring of sustenance, but it doesn't fit my character--Thordak definitely likes his food and drink. I would not say no to some elven boots or a cloak, though, as I'm also going to be wanting to sneak around and cover with my crossbow when I'm not felling them.
One is a magic or at least masterwork axe (or hammer) so I can get involved in these devil-battles.
Another is a double-barreled crossbow... Perhaps with the option of shooting both at the same time either at two foes or one close-range. Or a magical way to make a crossbow really fast at reloading so it's as effective as a bow. Just some thoughts...
About the wolf armor: any recommendations for enchantments I might want? I can't see myself wearing it much until it's as good or better than my breastplate.
I've enjoyed reading the thread and there are quite a lot of nice twists and plots going on! What's going on with that bat, for instance? Nice work!
DM Harpwizard |
Mantooth
Student body president with your own office! Congratulations! That sounds very impressive! Do you also have a cabinet or a secretary to help you with student affairs?
Thordak
Welcome back Thordak!!! Wahoo!! I am thrilled to see you back! I hope you had a good summer! So how long do you have until you head back to school?
Bofus Beerswizzler |
Welcome back Thordak! Nice to have ya return. :-)
A plan to eliminate superfluous feats?? You've piqued my curiosity--feel free to elaborate if you've the inclination.

So - did you go straight to the hotel from Jackson, that would be much shorter than returning home. Yeh, so you might be a little scruffy after hiking for several hours, but this is the White Mountains and people expect it - not like those miniature civilized Green Mountains where you live now.
DM Harpwizard |
No, I went home, got scrubbed up and drove all the way back. Now I'm dressed to the hilt in tux, vest, and even a gold chain for my pocket watch. I just played for the owners. No I am finished and I am using the internet at their fine hotel. This work way faster than at home right now! Kazam!
Thordak son of Throtgar |
Hi all! Just putting out a pre-notice of absence: I will be gone for a week with no computer access, starting on Thursday. This will be my college orientation, but after that I'll be back in business.
DM Harpwizard |
Thanks for the heads up, Thordak. We certainly wouldn't want you to be disoriented at college. WE hope you have a great start to your year.
Mantooth, would you be willing to make a post of two for Thordak if we run into a little combat?
Oh, by the way, how was your retreat with your executive council? Is your administration all set for the coming year. What are the big issues you guys have to deal with?
Bofus Beerswizzler |
Yeah, C was back in the classroom on Monday, and has kids today for the first time. Blarg!! It's going to be a hard year for her, as she's got to teach Language Arts (and take the Praxis exams to become Highly Qualified) in addition to her area of expertise, math. D'oh.
DM Harpwizard |
Well, tomorrow I go to see what my classroom looks like after the summer. Friday, Monday, and Tuesday is teacher inservice and kids come on Wednesday the 31st. We are starting the year with a 3 day 2 night field trip for the entire high school in the back woods of a camp in the woods up north. This should be very exciting!
Bofus Beerswizzler |
that's how you're STARTING the year?! Wow, without even knowing which are problem kids/combinations . . .you guys are brave. :-)
Tirion Jörðhár |
It is the new way. With everything being photographed these days, they had to take the show into the back woods where there is not even cell service. That way they can use the old fashion methods of controlling the kids.
DM Harpwizard |
Well I had a good day working in my classroom today. I found out that the school's email is not working at the moment. Thus I will only be able to post in the morning and at night until it returns. Hopefully this won't slow us down too much. At least internet is working at home now. Kazam!
DM Harpwizard |
Well folks, I am off on a three day, two night camping field trip with all 60 or so students in our high school. I hope to be able to make a quick post in the morning, but in general it will be light for me over the next few days. I hope to have the opportunity to post tomorrow (Wednesday) night, Thursday morning and Friday night. In the meanwhile, try to determine with each other how you plan to proceed with your assault on the hidden fortress!
Bofus Beerswizzler |
W00T!!
Wait, wait--who said we were assaulting the hidden fortress?!?! We want to give away that we know they have one??
