Ugh. Fighting with Windows is never fun and gets worse every version...


MWAH-HA-HAAA

I'll say. Thank goodness for the folks who write the free toolkits, for those major geeks.

Honestly, it's running better than ever now. Haven't tried to game yet, but am able to post. Got rid of a lot of things, like the various NVIDIA drivers/tools/services. I haven't used an NVIDIA card for year and a half.

Now if I could just fix this insomnia. 2-4 hours of wretched, fitful sleep each night isn't cutting it. Never had magnesium and Benadryl fail me before.

At least we finally have snow. That's a comfort. :)

Hey, question. I often have trouble seeing pbp maps without zooming at the browser level. I like Google Drive because when I click these links, I can zoom with the mouse wheel.

Never thought it might be because I own the drive, dur. Can YOU guys zoom on these maps if you need to?


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Ensis is the only one with action left this, so will give Tilnar until tomorrow to post. Maybe Ensis will save Dee!

Sorry, was waiting my turn hoping I could avoid the sludge.


MWAH-HA-HAAA

No worries! The USAians were in a food coma anyway. Which I think is just Ben and the GM. o_O This is a Commonwealth-dominant game!

Heck, DSX, you can drown in six inches of water. So I guess you'd have 4 times the chance of drowning in 2' of water? >_>

In other news, my dice appear to hate DSX.

Means they'll be looking for is on Boxing Day wondering where we all went..


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Never understood why Brits wanted to engage in fisticuffs the day after Christmas, unless it was to work off a big dinner.


LOL!

Just a little re-post from the Treehouse, just so you know where I was this weekend. So far,... ;P

Hope all y'all enjoyed yer Turkey and Stuffing day! :)

My weekend? ----

Oi vay!

What a day!

Weekend started out good. Thanksgiving we had Wife's dad and cousins over. Had fun and food. Went to New Orleans on Friday, avoided Insanity that is 'Black Friday' and only had to deal with stupid traffic going into NO for the 'Bayou Classic' game on Sat. Fri evening we went to opening night of 'Celebration in the Oaks', where they cover City Park in Christmas lights and light sculptures. Had not been in a few years. I think we adults had more fun than the teenage kids. It was fun.

We decided to drive back early today. Avoid 'game' traffic and what-not. (N.O. to Lafayette, 2 hours tops) Turns out there was a horrible incident on the I-10, on the long bridge close to Lafayette. A semi-truck burst into flames (Apparently it was carrying Pepto-Bismol. This makes me seriously reconsider my choice of tummy ailment treatments!)

Fortunately we saw a warning LED sign on the road before we hit the closed section of road and got off, taking what should have been a simple, little-longer detour.

Short story, we left N.O. before 2pm, we finally got home at 9:30pm.
>_<

Scariest part of the entire trip? Watching the semi only one car ahead of us suddenly go into reverse (not slipping backwards, actually saw it's White back-up lights come on!) and back up into the car ahead of us! Then drive ahead as if nothing had happened.

I have never been so glad to be home !! ;P


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Glad you came out of it OK, Rags. Yeesh.

Oh, and there's this.


Thanks, Me too! :)

Yeah, It's just been one of those weeks.
All of my carefully crafted plans and schedules for resets on stage this week got shot out of the water with a nuke yesterday. :P

On top of that, having to deal with Diva-drama that I do NOT get paid enough for,... :/

Yeah,... Thanks the Lord for loving family, DVR'd TV super-hero shows, and PbP's. :)

And Hard Cider! ;)

Oh yeah, and YAY 'This'! ;)


Lastwall Heroes - Current Date: Toilday, 31 Desnus, 4711 AR | Shadowrun - Current Date: Saturday, March 13, 2060

I second the Yay for "this".


MWAH-HA-HAAA

:D

The RNG is not our friend. D:


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Hey guys, I have a couple of questions about my post formatting:

1. Do you like the bolding of your names for the first use in a combat post? I thought it might help you locate your fate more quickly.

2. Do you like all the technical stuff under spoilers at the end, out of the way of the narrative?

3. Are the map links and on-deck order in the header useful for when you look at all your pbps?


Well,... Since you asked,... ;P

1) Very helpful actually, especially when I miss a few days in a row and am catching back up. :)

2) Tech stuff in the middle doesn't bother me, (I do it all the time, but I might start spoilering it like you are for narrative purposes) But I do enjoy it at the end too. Does make reading the narration easier/nicer. :)

3) Map links VERY useful, yes, Please keep! :)
On deck order is helpful, but not AS important in PbP, still very nice, again especially when I'm out of loop. (As I tend to get) ;P

Thank you! :D

1) Bolding is good -- it makes it easy to find ourselves, as you say.

2) I'm fine either way -- though I do have a sight preference for not interrupting the narrative -- but if it's a lot more work, no worries.

3) Very useful. Much goodliness.


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Thank you for the feedback; that's enough thumbs-up to keep me keepin' on. I don't mind a bit of extra work if it makes life easier for everyone and keeps the game moving smoothly, or if it makes the game more fun or immersive. But my German blood demands efficiency; so I don't want to continue useless work!


You call it efficiency, I call it 'Constructive laziness'. :)

I take my time and do things right the FIRST time. Because I am FAR to dang lazy to be going back and doing it again! ;P

On a similar note, would (any of) you prefer (or do you care?) if I also started bolding my PC's conversation? I do not tend to do that as I pretend that I am practicing as if I would write a book.
(It'll never happen, but it's fun to pretend!) ;)
But I do not mind if everyone would prefer that style of posting.


MWAH-HA-HAAA

I dunno. I hated bolding when I first started pbps because it felt like everyone was yelling. Now that I am used to it, it helps pick out the dialog. But I don't need it. I typically prefer one style in a pbp and try to go along with whatever the consensus is.

TL;DR: I dunno.


Lastwall Heroes - Current Date: Toilday, 31 Desnus, 4711 AR | Shadowrun - Current Date: Saturday, March 13, 2060

I had it beaten into me in earlier PbPs, so now I'm totally used to it...

But I'm good either way...


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Yeah, I chalked it up to your idiosyncratic style, Rags.

Tilnar, did we cross-post? I can delete. I think Dee was at -8, so the -7 and -1 bring her back to 0?

Think we did, yes.

Don't think it matters too much -- Ensus would still be worried about even a staggered Dee.

Wow. I have style!

Who knew?!? ;P

Nice one. I see I need to up my game.


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Ah, man, sorry if I botched the pacing. Posts were getting a little sparse, so I thought interest in that particular area was waning. Sorry to drag you along so abruptly!

I botched dinner timing, too - the fish and asparagus are perfectly done while the rutabaga would still do for d6's. Not my best day.


Lastwall Heroes - Current Date: Toilday, 31 Desnus, 4711 AR | Shadowrun - Current Date: Saturday, March 13, 2060

No worries, Treppa. Given that Dee was flattened and we just found a bunch of weird magic stuff and documents -- and we're worried about getting caught in the light -- I think it all works out.

Not a worry at all. Sometimes we are on a roll and the PC's do all the work for you, and sometimes it's just time to turn the page and go to the next scene! ;P

SInce I don't DO rutabaga. (At least I don't recall ever having rutabega'd)
Sounds to me like you just need to add Rice and dinner is served! ;)

(Yes, me and my family seem to have a religious addiction to starches. Seems like we just can't call dinner complete without a starch. Pasta, rice, SOMEthing!) ;P


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Rutabaga is the starch. I have some now, om nom. And your whiplash will heal, I hope.


LOL,
Having never Rutabega'd, I thought it was a starch, but wasn't 100% sure. ;)

Enjoy your now-cooked D6's! ;)


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Still with us, Leo?


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Greetings, gamingfolk! I hope you all had a good winter holiday and are looking forward to 2017. Let us proceed...

After I feed the dog.


Lastwall Heroes - Current Date: Toilday, 31 Desnus, 4711 AR | Shadowrun - Current Date: Saturday, March 13, 2060

Sounds good


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Best wishes for the new year to you all, and we'll start with renewed vigor once we recover!


First I recover from my 9 hour straight drive, THEN I recover from the drinking I intend to catch up on! (no drinking at my mothers house, sadly) ;P

THEN I catch up with posts! :D

(Um, maybe after I go to work. University is closed, But I still have to go in. MAN I miss hourly!) :P

Oh yeah,...

Happy New Year! ;)


So does it sound like a plan? We get some rest/refresh resources and talk to this voice in the evening.


Yes. Yes it does. (Sound like a plan. Man I AM tired!) ;P


Lastwall Heroes - Current Date: Toilday, 31 Desnus, 4711 AR | Shadowrun - Current Date: Saturday, March 13, 2060

Works for me.


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Apologies: I have been slammed with clients and my own year-end work. I may actually be done with EOY 2016 by TOMORROW and have the books into the CPA for tax returns, so am hoping to update then.

My CPA is going to die of shock.


Lastwall Heroes - Current Date: Toilday, 31 Desnus, 4711 AR | Shadowrun - Current Date: Saturday, March 13, 2060

No worries.


None at all!

(Se long-winded post in other thread. Too tired to even go back and copy/paste!)

On top of everything, this stupid yo-yo- temperature weather is trying to give me a cold!

NO! BAD Weather! :(


MWAH-HA-HAAA

Anything you want to do/buy/make/read/prepare/sell/sleep/sleep with before we proceed?

Ensis will clean and sharpen his blade -- did we decide what we're doing with the loot -- if we do some selling, then a spot of shopping may be useful, but without new coins, it would be much more of a window-shopping trip.


Yes, Ben needs to sleep and then prepare a Mutagen and his daily allotment of Infusions.
I'm guessing we don't actually want to take time for a selling/shopping trip (not that we have much to sell? but we found a couple of things) before we carry on?


MWAH-HA-HAAA

You can take time. There's nothing pressing right now. There's the basement, but you have all day to sell stuff, rest up, and go down in the morning if you want.


Cool! :)


Lastwall Heroes - Current Date: Toilday, 31 Desnus, 4711 AR | Shadowrun - Current Date: Saturday, March 13, 2060

I think we wanted to go in the morning because the stuff was more active at night, so we have a whole day.


That works too! :)

I guess what we need to decide real quick is, was there anything that we can sell off in the 'loot', and what do we buy with the coins?

I'm guessing that healing is going to be a priority for a couple of levels? ;)

I'm just guessing our priorities for potions and what-not
1- Healing,
2- Buffs (so maybe we need LESS healing?)

Yeah, can't wait until I can share my infusions. ;P
