Trey's page

I think that in the chat room last week, Gary Teter said there were 14,000 posts on the day that the announcement was made. Feel free to correct me if my memory is faulty, whoever....

And I only made 1,148 of those posts, so it was a lot.

Rats. I only caught 1,142 of those. Now I'm going to have to reread them all to find the six I missed.

that's one of the problems with leveling a healer-spec, it just takes longer and isn't as fun as damage per second build. Druids aren't so bad at it though with a feral/restoration build. I've also haven't had too hard a time with healing or tanking with my retribution paladin. For shamans or priests though, It's a lot more of a trade-off.

Heh, my pally main on a different server is retrib spec. FUN!!! Especially when fighting the deaders. Between judgement and exorcism, I almost feel like a caster who gets to wear plate. And that is a fine, fine feeling.

Of course, this is only possible because I'm usually questing with my girlfriend's priest or druid. Every once in a while I am on solo, and someone will ask me to group because they are thingking Pally=healz=good. We always have to have the, "There's something we need to go over first" discussion.

Ok, back to Velen. My druid is about to get talents. Spec suggestions? Maybe a resto/feral split so the character can fill in with healing or off-tank as the situation requires?

I need to get back to leveling the warrior, too. I had been doing it in tandem with a friend and so didn't want to level out of those quests, but the guild calls.

Anyone hear how Lilith's move is going? I showed up at the gates of blood elf land with a U-Haul, but they said my papers weren't in order and gave me a ticket for a broken tail light.

I might need to steal that for my Age of Darkness campaign

Seeing as how most of it was already stolen, that seems somehow... fitting.

And Nic, anytime. I agree with the others, that was an amazing display of megacoolness.

Now if only you would get your ravens to stop plucking at my eyes.

Now, better stop doing such nice things or you'll lose your rep as an evil mastermind...

Once, my village was in need of having a character statted up. Nic appeared. To us, he seemed like our savior. The character he created was amazing, and we were able to play our game. There was much rejoicing.

Then, soon after, our crops began to fail. The rain would not come. Our kittens would no longer purr, even when we gave them tuna.

Today, my village is gone, and I alone am left to tell the tale.

...

Can't let Nic lose his flava.

I am wondering if in their pursuit of the $3 billion pot Blizzard identified using their game that is often described in the press as Dungeons & Dragons-like, Hasbro is going to turn their valuable commodity in the area (aside from the name) into a feeder for Stormreach and similar ventures.

Their main asset is mountains and mountains of descriptions of their worlds. It appears that they are going through their holdings and updating all their brands, like Monopoly, Life, My Little Pony, and Transformers. They like fast and they like computers (desktop and embedded) in the mix.

I would think the long plan would be to morph current publications and other print into game-guides or plug-in instance modules. That way you sell subscriptions to the online world, plus sell add-ons. The fact that a description I read on these boards of a new adventure had cookie cutter monsters and locked-down setups. Not how most people here play, but describes to a T WoW style mechanics, because that's what the system dictates. Not as flexible, but it allows people to read about a new dungeon or monster, buy it, and let the server DM for you or your group.

You can't do this if someone else prints the mags, because you want people to see the dungeon or monster, click the link, buy it, and play it.

Just my crackpot theory. But for a market the size of Hasbro's entire online sales, I don't think WotC execs get to make the decisions on this any more, not if D&D is the next on Hasbro's "to revitalize" list.

I don't do too much by way of board games, but my girlfriend's nephews always want her to get Dark Tower out of the closet when they come to visit. As for her, she's a Chinese Checkers fiend.

I am named after a non-OGL feat. I guess I could be HeWhOnceHadCarnalRelationsWithTheUndead.

So, charnel relations, then.

What's next? Is the term garden "gnome" going to be taken from us? When will the madness stop? AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

I don't want to say where I heard this, but you might want to start preparing yourself for people being required to call you Aberanimatedformeralivething.

I just rolled a druid alt too, to have in the closet should one be needed. I don't think more than one would be a problem, though, since they can be specced so differently.

As it stands, I'm thinking it's more likely the Warrior Tauren will be the main, but will develop them both and see what is needed once we get rolling.

First, you must pledge yourself to obey the slaw.

Gosh, I must say that's one of the most noxious smelling puns ever released. Almost as bad as what happens when I eat raw cabbage. ;)

Hee hee. Yes, I winced while typing it. And the grammar is poor. And yet I could not resist.

My apologies. I wish I could say it won't happen again, but sadly...

I thought there was a thread on what readers might like to see in the Pathfinder books, but I couldn't find it, so I hope someone sees this post eventually.

I would love to see a full interior page (or two widescreen, landscape pages) reproducing the coverart with no titles or blurbs, etc.

I'll second that.

Yes. Fantastic suggestion.

the awl she keeps under her car seat.

Ha! My girlfriend used to pack one of those. That was for portable defense. I think in the car she had a bat AND a crowbar.

Basically, if she was ever attacked by a robot army, I think she could have handled it.

By the way, I came in here because I thought this was about miniatures....

I thought I was going to be able to buy the Goblin Song on a 45.

I still need three more sigs for the charter, but getting together to sign one this week will be hectic, to say the least.

High-toned and fancy to-do parties in your magical city, no doubt. I'm kickin' it, er, hoofin' it, in Tirisfal for the moment. :)
