Yeah...Vilya looks good too.....heh heh.
Looks good mate.
I seem to remember a full figure illustration of Vilya, but haven’t seen this one, very cool. Which game was she for originally?
I think this is the illustration you were thinking of. It's pre-art school, so the anatomy is more off than it should be, and I don't like it much. May re-draw at some later date.
She was originally for some game where the characters started out in Varisia and ended up in Waterdeep. Can't remember who was running it. After that, she got ported over to Patrick Curtin's game.
Should I go with her for this PbP?
I like ole Vilya, man.
Allright; just farting around and trying to come up with something better than "POOF! you're there!"
Allrighty....I got an intro together.....check the game thread.

Cool! I've never seen, much less played with, a binder before, so this should be interesting.
BTW, the missus and I finally went and saw The expendables at the discount theatre. It wasn't all that great, but it was a fun enough trip back to 1986. Terrible acting, dumb plot, lots and lots of explosions and weird martial arts tricks - good times!
Looking at the Vilya character sheet - do any of us have traits? Perhaps we should get some?
...
...
...Um - so, where do we find them?
The Traits pdf should be in the downloads section, or you can just look Here.

Traits are an optional rule found in the APG and also somewhere about the place here at Paizo as a free download. They’re used for most of the Adventure Path APs, but we didn’t use them when we converted these characters (nor the ones for Aubrey’s games) to PF.

Hey, look at that! So, Heathy, can we help ourselves to a pair of traits?
Obviously that’s up to Heath (and I won’t protest if he’s for it!) – but keep in mind they are an optional rule, not a core part of PF. Essentially getting two traits is like getting a free feat – hardly game breaking but a bit of a boost compared to a ‘core’ PF character.
Yeah; traits look okay. I never saw them in the rulebook; maybe didn't pay attention....didn't think much about them.
Ahh, a little of the frenetic insanity that is Vilya will be nice! I'll see y'alls later

Oh Heath, my RL group is playing through Curse of the Crimson Throne at the moment. On Friday we ran through the Vivified Labyrinth in Escape From Old Korvosa – the one you transplanted under Sasserine. I don’t know if you toned it down for us, we were lucky, or it’s simpler to get your head around in pbp, but man that thing is hard to navigate in an RL game! And the symbols and traps are plain frustrating without a proper trap-springing rogue in the party. It probably didn’t help that it was approaching midnight (real time) as we were entering the labyrinth, and during the course of the exploration one guy had to head home early and another guy fell asleep, leaving two of us to try to figure it all out.
We ended up getting through and confronting Vimanda at the end. She was in human form and we managed to negotiate with her to take the prisoners without a fight (officially we do not yet know her – or her family’s – secret identities ... it has been all I can do not to give it away as the group is currently debating whether to start off the next session by attacking or arresting Glorio ... four characters, 7th level, wounded and spell depleted from the Labyrinth, and with not a holy piercing weapon to be seen ...).
Yeah....I altered the hell out of it; in pbp with the way it works you guys would be on the third room by now.
Plus, the umpteenth exploding magical sigil gets lame in pbp over weeks of time, so I figured I'd go "Reader's Digest condensed version" on that dealy-o.
I liked putting the shaitan girl in there though; her ability to pop out of the walls when the hell ever I think caught the futile claustrophobic tension that the place is supposed to invoke.

In theory we probably would have had a campaign ending event on Friday had the GM run things by the book. The first symbol we stumbled across was a symbol of insanity, which someone activated ... and the entire group failed the saving throw. Hello permanent insanity!
Fortunately, while everyone was stumbling about confused, running off and attacking each other, the GM allowed us to play an action point to re-roll the save if we wanted ... and one guy made it on the re-roll. Well, the rest of us were still insane with no access to any of the spells that could remove it. So the sane guy did hest best to get everyone out of the room, keep them from fighting or wandering off into the labyrinth ... until the GM decided he didn’t really want to end the campaign here and had the insanity effect wear off once the symbol stopped activating a few hours later, rather than being permanent. Phew!
heh heh....
yeah. It sucks to whack a whole party after so long.
sheesh...
maybe they need some adventure(s) for when the entire party has gone insane from a spell....
I've decided it's Accept Tuesday on Youtube.
I'm on call this weekend; might be around, might not,....
also on call Thanksgiving the whole four days, so add to that everybody else United Statesian (notice how I didn't arrogantly call them American) that'll prolly not be around Next Thurs thru Sunday; doubt much will happen then.

I'll be in Phoenix for Thanksgiving, eating too much and not getting any work done...
Also, I've found Stig's real world ringer - he's Johnny Vegas! Hey, he has the shirt and everything...

That's uncanny. Terrifying.

Here's another installment in Vattnisse's Somewhat Helpful Time-wasting Tips: The mega-awesome Superman Is A Dick website. Enjoy!
OMG
So I must have missed a level somewhere. Stig is leveled.
Can I tweak his feat progression a bit? (he never uses sunder and over run and there are some new PFRPG goodies!)
Yeah; go for it!
I luvs the Supes. BUT those old comic covers DID make him look like,... well,... a D!ck! ;P
Funny stuff!
I watched Doomsday
tonite; it was pretty cool. It was way cooler than I thought it would be, let's put it that way. Didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it.
Kinda violent.
Our daughter born 6pm, 27th of November at 36 weeks and 5 days gestation. 2.5 kg. Name not quite decided on yet. Mother and baby are doing well.
Grats Mothman, great to hear! Yell the name you choose three times out the backdoor to see how it sounds when calling your daughter inside. Keeps your choice more practical =)
Just finished reading Charles Stross' Accelerando. The man's a good writer, but I thought the latter part of the book was a chore to finish.
However, anyone who comes up with terms like "borganism" can't be all bad, so his Laundry novels are up next. Should be fun.
His Merchant Prince series is a weird mix of Tom Clancy and Rodger Zelazny. Very recommended.

Yeah, I struggled with the end a bit too, though I think it was partly that I put the book down for a couple of weeks to read something else before coming back to finish it.
