Chillin' on the front porch with Critter the Cat. We will go for a walk later. Well, I will be walking. He'll be in his stroller.

Latest of the Lords of Chaos Game I'm running:
Now they were on their way to the Castle “Arrrrrgggh” to find the Artificer. Before that they are attacked!!!! By a roving Robot!!! A Myrmidon swoops in for a strafing run. After it blows up one of the wagons and kills one of the Red Shirts, The party then tries to get close enough to this new foe. A couple of lightning bolts and a few bullets later and the thing is scrap metal. Although it did get a few shots in with it’s laser. The party then makes it to the Castle “Arrrrgggh” and find it to be devoid of anything except corpses. Slightly perplexed they continue on. They reach a main corridor to find a set of big double doors. They “check the door for traps” but since there is no rogue in the party it’s pretty much “does it looked trapped?” “I don’t know” “well someone open the door” “Is the door even unlocked” etc. They finally open the untrapped and unlocked door. Beyond the door is a Four-Armed Construct which is probably the thing that has killed everything else that was in this place. They make quick work of this guy and move on to find the Artificer underneath the castle. The Artificer basically is a figment of Ro-bert’s imagination and has only existed for the past 3 months. He has been working pretty much non-stop on various items to include the Construct they fought earlier and an Airship. So now they finally had their airship. The ironic thing about it is that it came equipped with cannons so they didn’t even need to lug those cannons around, lol. Oh well… They goof off for several weeks while Ro-bert becomes a real robot/android and finishing touches are made to the airship.
After a game of “nose goes” new leadership is determined and Phjge is now in charge. After becoming permanently deafened after the last encounter he decides to go find the nearest LG temple to “force their high priestess to fall in love with me and then kill her”. It’s all part of his back story, which brings me to two side stories. The first one is that I had planned to have small side quests for all of the characters to do during the course of this little adventure. Some of them were scrapped due to death of characters. When Phjge came into the picture, I had no clue what to do so I asked the player to give me a short history/motivation for the character. Which brings me to side story number two, I receive a PDF from this player giving me a hilarious back story as to how his character came to be and why he is worshiping the God, Sifkesh btw, he is worshiping. Apparently, Sifkesh has this whole thing about suicide and killing of lovers or something like that. Either way, it was pretty interesting and that is why the party headed off to Mendev to find some followers of Iomedae. Along the way they run into a hungry Roc. They kill the Roc and end the session there.
Wow new Prime Minister of Australia over night... Julia lost the confidence of the Labor Party and was ousted by Kevin 3 years and 2 days after she did the same to him.
Won't save the Labor party in the next election though, it looks like the conservatives will win.
At least no shooting and martial law was involved.
There you are, Baby Drejk!!!
Vengeance is mine!

Many Austalians forget that we vote for the Party not the Prime Minister... The Parties choose who they want asPrime Minister. They generally (allways) they do this before an election so people know who we are getting. It's good in one way - we won't get stuck with an incompetent for 3 years but bad because it encourages the disloyal and over ambitious.
The Australian Labor party when functioning can be the kind of political machine that eviscerates it's opposition, when malfunctioning it will eat itself with glee, which is what it is doing now.
Labor burns bright but short... They tend to fix big social issues then fall apart.
We need Paul Keating back.... Him and John Curtin and Ben Chifley were our greatest Prime Ministers.
There you are, Baby Drejk!!!
Vengeance is mine!
Old fool, your might dwindled while I grew more powerful than you could ever imagine!
While you could barely hold your grasp on a small country on a backward planet I created, shaped and destroyed countless universes!
Baby Drejk, why are you being so mean to Comrade Dwarf?
Ha! Foiled your plans again!
Bozhe moi!
Um, I mean, O mój Boże!
[Shakes fist]
Half a month. It happens. Threads die...
Just to be reborn in flames!
Not if you are persistent.

In the middle of the Tomb of Horrors at the moment in my 4e game, and we've all nearly died around 15 times. My elf ranger got set on fire by some sort of slide-into-a-furnace trap and was only saved from flaming death by our half-Celestial wizard (who lost all his clothes & other gear running through a portal and refuses to get dressed) pissing on me while I was unconscious (+4 to save against fire damage, apparently). I shudder to think what'll happen next session.
No, but we've come damned near to it. Plenty of party members unconscious on negative hit points, but nobody actually bled out thanks to some lucky rolls and a skilful dwarven cleric. That's one evil, evil adventure, though.
Gark and Limey in the hee-youse!!
No new Lords of Chaos update. We played MTG instead.
MTG has cost me two players already
which is weird because people who play MTG sometimes ask me if D&D is just a more complicated version of MTG, and complication is supposed to be fun right???
not always....................
I haven't played MTG in a while. I always liked the game-play, but never got into the whole card-collecting bit, which you really need to be successful at it.
Game play is nice. From various hints and pages (and single novel I have) I got the impression that there is rich setting(s) lore with great rpg potential.
Collecting cards? Nope.
I'd love to read a setting book on the MTG world. I agree that it'd make a great gaming setting and there's a lot of story going on. But to get into it you really need more money than I have to spare and an interest in getting a ton of cards that I lack.
The art is darned good though.

They have that one artist... How he was called? Wayne, Wayne Something... Something sounding like one of those pesky game designers...
My recent roleplaying adventures are detailed at boring length here.
At the end of the weekend, I learned that if you DM an event you get a day's free pass. I was easily as good as any of the DMs I played under, and next year I refuse to spend $50 for admittance.
Also, my NH comrade, it turns out, is a big miniature terrain maker. I don't want to guess how much money he's dropped in an alternate world WWII minis game called Dust Something or other.
Anyway, he's made all kinds of crazy ass awesome scenery and, again, it was better than any of the stuff they had on display at the con (with one notable exception of a guy who had this huge 19th-century Chinese port thing going on which was frickin' amazing!! But that guy wasn't there the night my comrade and I took on the Curse of the Copulating Medusa!!
Yup. It was great.
Rise of the Runeplutocrats
Well, I can't really bring myself to subject the boards to an entire thread devoted to my RotRP game, so I'll only subject the FAWTL Refugee thread.
Party so far:
--Trent Redwater, Shoanti fighter
--Griff Keytol, Shoanti druid
--Jack Truth, Half-Mwangi halfling poisoner
--Warren Bilger, Half-elf wizard
--Ollycron Fossa, Elf ranger
The prequel game started as the party (sans Ollycron) started out on a caravan from Riddleport to Sandpoint.
Trent and Griff, who had been living with the Velashu Horselords, had returned to their tribal homelands to discover that their band had been massacred by a band of Chelish bandits, Chaney's Marauders. Under the cover of bringing 10 Shoanti steeds to market, they have travelled to Sandpoint in order to make contact with Garridan Viskalai who should have more info on the whereabout of evil palefaces.
Warren is pursuing his doctorate in Thassilonian studies at the UofR and was granted by the school 1,000 gp worth of Van der Graaf generators and other technical equipment to study Old Light.
Jack Truth, who as a lad turned his back on his family's involvement in the Bellflower Network, was running a scam with a hawt seductress at the Golden Goblin. When things went south, he valiantly abandoned his fellow grifter and grabbed the money and ran. Unfortunately, like at the end of Kubrick's The Killing, his suitcase broke and he lost most of the money.
Anyway, the prequel game was just some improvised fun after everyone rolled characters. When the caravan had stopped for the night, a day or two away from Sandpoint, Jack Truth broke out his mwk battle flow wand, and, accompanied by Griff on the bongos, attracted a crowd of on-lookers. Meanwhile, Trent had some incredibly sexy flirtations with a Varisian horse whisperer who pointed out a faint white butterfly on Griff's mare's foreleg. I don't remember what Warren was doing, but after the flow wand performance, an attractive woman (Tatianna) with her three children in tow (none of them appeared to have the same father, in fact, one of them was half-elven!) approached Jack. Jack basically said, "Piss off, slut!" but then she went and talked to Warren who was much nicer and they traded info about Old Light. Turns out Tatianna was quite an accomplished wizard and knew lots of stuff, but, alas, then the caravan was attacked by the Birdcruncher tribe!
The party decimated most of the goblins, even though they were riding on giant geckos and giant scorpions and whatever other miniatures I could find, but not before two of them got into Warren's wagon and destroyed 950 gp worth of equipment!! All he was left with was a copy of Elric's Eternal Encomium which was basically a bound volume of World Weekly News and had many crazy theories about how Old Light was actually a [redacted redacted redacted] in ye olden Thassilonian times. How crazy!
Anyway, they were feeling pretty full of themselves, when there was a horrendous shriek and the caravan and the goblins were attacked by the Sandpoint Devil!!! None of the party members made their saving throw (which wasn't surprising seeing as how Sandy is a CR 8 encounter) and they all ran away.
When they returned, Tatianna was missing...
End of Prequel Game
That was actually a couple of weeks ago. We played the first session this past Sunday, but I'll write it up later.
Curses! I'm up for being playerside in a RotRL game sometime in my group's relatively-near future, so I sadly can't follow along the shenanigans for fear of spoilers.
Nevertheless, have a blast, guys =)
Well, it was only a prequel w/o any real pre-published Paizo action, but I won't force it on you.
I will, however, force this flow wand video on you.
Jack Truth fights with a masterwork battle flow wand. How would that work? you ask. I don't know, but I don't understand how you're supposed to fight with a starknife or a bladed scarf, either.

1,000 gp worth of Van der Graaf generators
FAWTL Refugees!!
Introduce Peter Hammill as an NPC. Go on. I dare you.
Not available in the States, for some reason, although this one is.
I finished up my Lord of Chaos game this weekend. I would post a game synopsis but it was kind of disappointing as only three people showed up, we started late and one person left early at the end.
In the future we will be starting a Serpent's Skull game.
