Greetings!

This brings back old memories.
Treasure Hunt was the first AD&D module I played in.

This adventure is a beauty.
Go, get playing.

I will certainly lurk around and follow the PbP-Thread.

Ready

I think I will try out 4th edition, but I will also stay with 3.5 for several of the campaigns I still want to run.

No, Mordentish is the common tongue for the Northwestern Domains.

Yes, Vivienne speaks Mordentish.

There are four languages that count as Common in the different parts of Ravenloft:

- Mordentish in the Northwestern parts,
- Darkonese is used in and around Darkon
- Balok is used in the Southwestern core (Barovia etc.)
- Vaasi is common in the Southeatern core

Vivienne still needs equipment...

Her equipment's looking pretty good.

(Only in role-playing would men actually sexually harass a fictionalization.)

If you read her backstory, you might be more reluctant to woo and wow her...

I think we'd better continue with 7. If PsionicFox comes back, he can rejoin, otherwise, it would be nice of him to cancel his involvement in this group, to give us certainty about his role in the campaign.

I thought he was going to be one of the central pieces of the mosaic of this story, but alas..

Vivienne still needs equipment, and the selection of her spells.

Backstory is nearly complete. Tomorrow. Rest of the things and the dreaded Questionnaire...

Sure, my char is under a curse to foresee the death of his/her loved ones in his/her dreams. He/She tried to save his/her parent's death, but caused it in the attempt to prevent it. This also happened with his/her first love and he/she was then turned away from the village he/she grew up.

How that curse came to be? Unclear. How that curse can be lifted? Also unclear.

Sry, I am going to be in Portugal at that point of time. 2 weeks holiday.

Great *G*

Guarding would be okay, tracking someone down would be more problematic, and only okay, if it'd be someone, who'd done me worng, or someone who's close to me.

Oliver, half-vistani bard is fine with me.

Hi Radavel,

It will not be directly Half-Vistani. It will only give you the possibility to give me visions or portents of particular dangers to our group (that will be a consequence of the curse my character will be under). I am also toying around with the notion of playing a female character.

Okay. I have "unearthed" my Ravenloft books (they were buried deep in my not-used books pile, very deep, but I have everything except the "Dark Tales and Disturbing Legends" now at hand), and have read through the first 80 pages of the Ravenloft Player's Handbook on my way to work.

Human Bard still stands, perhaps a touch of Vistani blood (3 to 4 generations removed) through the ancestors possible, but that depends on the Backstory and Radavel's okay.

A description of the dark alley for Ingovil, please?

Congratulations.

I love this campaign, and I will certainly have a third go at it... perhaps this time, it will be finished... who knows?

I will be out of town till Sunday evening. Perhaps I can manage a post or two, but don't count on it.

I hate this: my post is not visible in the thread itself, but visible in my "Recent posts"...

Here again:

Hi, I will be on vacation during the weekend (visiting some old friends who moved away last year) and will come home on Sunday evening (German time). I will be going for bard, Race not yet clear, probaly human (I have difficulties finalizing my Artificer 5, too many items...).

I'll keep my fingers crossed for your dad, Chris.

This totally rocks!

Lilith, as much as I'd like to participate, I need to pull out. Conducting combat in the chat room will be too difficult for me from Germany. Sigh.

Tadaaa!

Christine, I knew you'd make it. I can't wait to read the final piece. To have it in my hand and flip through the pages.

Congrats.
The Dietzenbacher.

This is really grave news. So, from me, my best wishes to the health of your dad, Chris. Let him hear your voice, that you are ther. Even though he is not conscious, he will hear you and know you are there for him.

Interest? Always.

I hereby confirm my willingness to participate. (but I will be able to have a look at it during the next week, after I finish up Jadras, my Gnome Artificer for Ithuriels Eberron PbP)

Yeppers, same here. Hope you all had a fine Valentine's Day. I have bought some surprises for my GF on my way home and we had a nice evening after a cruel work day.

Mounz... already so many interested in playing... me, too... me, too
(If I will run a PbP it will be Shackled City first)

I'd want to play in so many PbP... sigh (Age of Worms, Savage Tide, Curse of the Crimson Throne, Eberron initial trilogy + Eyes of the Lich Queen, Drow War, War of the Burning Sky, Warlords of the Accordlands, Ptolus, Castle Whiterock, World's Largest Dungeon, World's Largest City, Cult of Yex, Temple of Elemental Evil, Dragonlance Classic, Dragonlance Age of Mortals, Iron Kingdoms Witchfire, Barakus & Durbenford, Kalamar Adventures, Red Hand of Doom, FR HC trilogy, any of the Expedition books, Original Undermountain, any GameMastery adventures, Adventures in Arcanis, Bleeding Edge, Other DCC's, Ruins of the Dragon Lords, )

I have a question. Which infusions are available for Janras?

All from the Eberron Campaign book, that is clear.
What about those from Magic of Eberron?
What about any from Dragon Magazine?

I have filled Janras with a bit more life (HP, first part of equipment).

Backstory still missing,
as well as created scrolls, potions.

Draconic Auras work for every Ally in 30' range of Szaranoth. I give a small synopsis, which Draconic Auras I can use in Szaranoth's profile and I'll post the active aura always in my IG posts. ATM it is senses (bonus to Listen, Spot and Initiative), during an encounter I'll certainly switch to Energy Shield (damage to melee attackers without reach) and at the end of an encounter to Vigor (healing up to 50% HP+1).

When?

I have the fourth book of the Atevi sequence by C.J. Cherryh in my hands now, "Precursor". I am still amazed by the depth of the characters and the conversations and am looking forward for the next 5 books, that are already waiting on my bookshelf.

(Afterwards: the Ayla books by Auel)

I think, I will go with expert in burglary/forgery. (5th level rogue)

I'll happily contribute to a new "estate" *G*

For one living south of the "Weissworschtäquator", definitely yes.
For someone living on the "Waterkant", definitely no.

Thanks for clarifying your ruling of the Action Points, Aubrey. I have included them in Urthonas profile and will adjust them accordingly.

Hi Ithuriel,

if you can place me on the waiting list, I'd be very interested to join your campaign.

Congratulations. Keep up the marvelous work.

Will this adventure be completed?

My thoughts are: the d20 Freeport Companion is the last 3.5 product by Green Ronin.

Therefor my answer would be: No.

Christine, you totally blew me away with this. Great entry.

Take care Mevers. And good luck in all that you begin (or have to finish).

Let Alek Tercival accompany the caravan of Sarcem Delasharn => the Paladin is not available for the search for missing children. He should return earlier than Sarcem for the trial of Keygan Ghelve... and be gone in search for his visons when the flood festival hits.

Andrei's action was visible for a short time. No clue why it vanished. Move to A15 and Total Defense.

I'm not quite getting why Rayne shifted down the init part way through the round, hence getting two actions in this round, when it was Hamathin who delayed.

I assume I have missed something??

The drows were not in 60' range in her initiative segment.

Urthona may have missed... sigh.

Andrei: every second diagonal move costs 2 squares => Andrei can only move to A16 or B15.

The Eye is something similar to a stable hurricane.

I was wondering about the status of the order #846623. It is now 6 weeks old and still pending.

Board games:

Carcassonne,
Citadels,
Puerto Rico

Mah-jongg

In Excel...

While dragging the width or height of a cell the amount of pixels is displayed in a tool tip. If you mark the complete document prior to changing the cell size, it will be used for all cells.

I have made the same cut and copy operations, but I have also changed the font size to 8 and set the cell size to 50 pixels each (and line wrap on) and centered the text in the cells horizontally as well as vertically => The complete names fit the cells (except for the drow leader, but with line wrap it also fits perfectly)
