I know a few people they'd make a fun gift for though...
Christmas - DONE.
great video though : )
does everyone still have sticking new post tickers?
They clear if you click on the thread (Gameplay, Discussion, etc.) instead of the (x-new) link.
Tumbleweed day much?
/pokepoke
I always think of this when I see or hear the word 'poke'
note - you get to make a choice at the end.
We don't have to poke.
**KICK**
Poke, haha. That just seems like you are going to load your friends profile on to a Russian porn enthusiast site, lol.
terror Thrusday - updates tomorrow
Are you suffering mission creep from Manic Mondays?
managed some very short updates.
@Shifty, do you ever hit auto swap meets or salvage yards? I just got my '68 Falcon w/200 c.i. 6 and the Aussie head for this motor is a popular upgrade. I you ever happen to see one, would you check a price on the thing for me?
Tark, thanks for the review of Celestra's spell list. She made some changes at your suggestion.
Youo read for some snow, Harp? It looked like you might be getting some the last time I watched the news.
As an aside: It's freaky that someone would just disappear for 2 weeks from a one/day posting expectation game without a word of what's going on.
Hope the Shady_Motives behind the 'puter is okay.
p.s. If he has no real reason, then I hope a butterfly beats the snot out of him :)

That is why many of my parties are starting to look the same. I get tired of untested players starting a campaign and then just going silent. If you need to take time off, fine, tell someone and take your time. But, if you just disappear it is very frustrating. Thus, when I need replacements, I go for the dozen + people who I have experience with who I am pretty sure are not going to suddenly go AWOL.

In a game I was running my most voracious poster was solid for 2 years. We would chat off and on via Gmail Chat every day and one day he simply disappeared. I'll admit to being worried, but what are you going to do (without donning your stalker panties).
14 months later he shows up with a lengthy list of the whys to explain his departure, promises that they are behind him and wants back in.
I let him. As I say he was my most voracious poster.
Fast forward 2 months finds him disappeared without a trace again.
<le sigh>
Two years as a voracious poster is a long time. Were the reasons for his departure significant? He wasn't kidnapped and taken to a remote hut with no internet access was he?

I think I stopped paying attention at about the 8th excuse.
My frustration was not that he disappeared, sometimes life gets in the way, but that at no point in that time did he take out 2 minutes to touch base and let everyone know that he was alright (everyone and their dog seem to have a smartphone now, not to mention libraries, friend's computers....the list goes on and on).
It just was not important I guess.

I try to generally let people know when I am disappearing. I vanish monthly for Larp, but other than that if things come up I will post or contact someone I know (like Bree) to post on my behalf. It's a shame when you make good digital friends on here that just go poof sometimes.
Any "Path of" games have openings?

Not as often as I would like.
I used to spend a lot of time picking up bits for my 87 Camaro, but now it's pretty much 'done'. That being said, get on the australian Ford forums etc, most of the car enthusiasts here are pretty caring sharing types that do it for the love, and hence picking up parts is usually pretty easy and for very very reasonable prices. I managed to get loads of stuff 'free to good home', even whole cars.
Ironically, a lot of well loved US Muscle cars find there way back to the US from Australia; a lot of the Trans-Ams/Camaros/'vettes ended up exported back, apparently our climate meant less corrosion and rust, hence some good examples have been well preserved. No rust in my 87!

Yeh - I had a similar experience. Not as long though. Great poster. Joined his campaign which went for like 2 months, then he announced that school had become too much. Three months later he reappears and says that he got everything sorted out. Starts a Way of the Wicked campaign - something I REALLY want to join - and then three weeks later announces that it is just too much and shuts the thing down. At least the second time, he told us why.
In a similar way, I had one player who was a great poster in my Kingmaker campaign. When we needed a replacement in DMHW's Elsir Vale campaign, I invited him. He remained a great poster for about a month and then just disappeared off the boards entirely. No good bye, no reason, just gone.

Thinking of which - does anyone want to DM a bunch of evil do-no-gooders in WotW? We have a party of 6 or seven and most seem to be pretty good posters. Unfortunately as I mentioned, our DM up and left.
I cannot Tirion. I have trouble keeping up with the posting I have, especially with the frequency with which I like to post. I would not dare add another campaign to run.
Not sure I could ever bring myself to running a PBP full blown AP. I'm pushy enough as a player in driving things along, as a GM I'd get annoyed if the thing wasn't going at a breakneck pace :P

I have this weird allergy to pregen modules, or I'd consider it :)
Then again if you can get me a good DM for EverQuest out of the deal I'll not only run it, but I'll do so in a french maid costume.
(waves feather duster while his stockings ride up into the great unknown)
For those that have tired of hearing about EverQuest, I have made thee cookies...
Coughs a little while straightening tie and clearing throat. Hehehe.
I used to have an allergy to pregen, I got better though...!

As a DM I both like and loathe pregens...
the (x) new thing is still broken, eh?

Yep, seems so. I posted an updated comment on the Tuesday Update which appears to be where the admin Gary Teter seems to be posting comments about the updates.
why does my newest campaign not show up in my campaigns list? Anything else besides openening the thread needed to get it listed?
Dunno - post this in the thread I cited above as a problem. The admins seem to be trying to fix things as fast as they can.
I may play mini cavaliers from here on out. My 5th level halfling riding a wolf has dropped a worg almost every round we have been engaged. Last round was a crit, this round it was a charge,challenge, spirited charge,power attack. So much fun out of a little body. She is based on Red Riding Hood and may be one of my favorite concepts in a long time. Perfect for the Ravenloft module we are running.
You're crazy...:)
This is true in a semi-literal sense, lol.
DMZ,am I good to purchase that superior quality shield at creation for Stoutanvil?
Superior items are ten times as costly as the normal versions.
A superior shield would add one white die to block maneouvres.
Can you check how much a shield is - don't have the book at hand.
It should cost 1g. A round shield is 25 silver and 10 times that cost is 250 silver= 1g.
keke
It is open to be a plot item to be used as you see fit,Z. If it lost he can become a Slayer in the future, if not he will move toward a Ironbreaker and glory.
I have an ironbreaker in my rl group...crazy tank
They are a pretty cool career. I was happy to see them in this version. I want to play miner one of these days. Not sure why, lol.
It's a bit like the human commoner I guess :)
Cool is that so many dwarven careers have several stages:
ironbreaker
runesmith
slayer
engineer
thane
etc.
It is useful when advancing and also adds a lot of fluff
I forgot to mention that we have a new campaign in our family "Heart of Ruin" and while there are some familar faces (Mark, Fey, Bilbo) we also have two new people in our midst!
Hello Hello :)
Nice and cozy in here :D
