Merry Christmas everyone!

SHINY! POST UP IN MAIN THREAD!

And merry Xmas you punker!

Sorry... Been really busy with... things...

Ehh. I'm sorry. I don't like ... things very much either. Post when you can.

Chop chop! I got places to be, people to kill . . .

Happy New Year mutants!

Happy New Year, y'all!

MUAHAHAHAHA! 2010.

Halfway to Gamma World.

Patrick - what would be the best way for me to introduce Lonnie into the game?

So here goes...

I was thinking of creating a sentient mushroom man that uses the force.

He should wear a poncho and have his 'cap' pierced around the edges with rings that dangle tassels like a large sombrero.

I have been considering incorporating Dia de los Muertos (day of the dead) designs on the cap. But I haven't decided yet.

With psionic/force effects I was thinking of going with a name like Mace Winshroom or Qui Gon Shroom but that seemed too easy. So, I am leaning towards Puerta Bella as sort of a South/Central American play off of portabella.

This is just a frame work so far. Let me know what you think. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, are there any special requests as to what the party really needs?

EDIT: Aaarrgh! Paizo doesn't have any mushroom avatars.

I think someone with FX powers would be good. We have a lot of mutants but we only had one spell caster. Having a psychic would be really cool.

This is... totally awesome.

A psychedelic mushroom-man would get along very well with Sherman. Probably a bit too well, actually.

So here goes...

So far so good! Yeah the party is lagging FX powers right now, so that would be an interesting way to go. I can write you in at any time

Holy Schnikies! Missed this post. I can have him come into Russelville at any time. Maybe he can meet Coca at the Ferret-man's pawn shop? Write an intro!

What do you mean by "intro"? (Sorry, been having a slow day, mentally-speaking).

You know, introduce yourself? Walk into the pawn shop, take a look at what's being sold and make some small talk, that sort of stuff.

500 credits for the team.

I find tracer bullets real pretty at night.

The discerning adventurer's version of the lava lamp. Very nice.

Have any of you seen The Road, BTW? I saw it a couple of days ago - great movie, and somewhat applicable to what we're doing here.

Sherman's gonna find that REALLY groovy no doubt.

Cool, will check it out.

SO whatcha gonna do after you become the new superstar, Patrick?

LOL, Don't think that's gonna happen. But I am happy I got my submission in this year at least. I wish I had a grip on the mechanics like some do, I can write the hell out of fluff, but the crunch always gets me.

I guess now would be a good time to learn.

Meh. I been playing these games since Carter was in office. I have a mental block about memorizing the mechanics, just like my mental block about calculus. I have all the books, though, and plenty of time to study them should the unlikely event that I get in the contest occur. That and a lot of number-friendly folks who I'm sure will double-check my math for me.

I'd be happy to clean up your map if you go that far.

Now mapping, that's something I enjoy. But yes, Kreulaid-sensei, I would humbly ask for your editing skillz should cartography be required.

Yah, it's just the graphics. Sometimes a good idea falls behind because it didn't get the right presentation.

Oh yah. Plus when I map up I am usually more of the 'down and dirty' because I dont want to spend a whole lotta time on a PbP map. I'm sure I would be asking for tips and tricks when the time comes to make my maps pretty.

GARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! DENIED!

same here

... and you guys are creative powerhouses.

Me, I'm a Migrus Locker type. Most of the stuff I see lacks the Migrus spark.

Anyone with a Migrus submission gets my thumbs up. After that it's just a little twist on a spell and cleverness with mechanics. That's the best you can get.

I think the mechanics are a killer (definitely for me, still have not read PFRPG rules), yet I see stuff on that list that a mechanically f&+~ed (eg. the key)... and really, that example is not at all original in the Migrus sense. I've been using knock keys or magic skeleton keys since I started DMing in 1984.

Anyway. Guy and Patrick, I'd love to see any storyline you write... lairs... villains.

Check out Karrin's little revelation scene that just occured over at the World Serpent Inn Kreully. I'm kinda proud of that one ...

Wow! Thank you for those kind words Kruelaid!

For the record I love the Colaman, really a fun character, and I love the back and forth that my little psychopath and he have going on together!

The plot twist Patrick laid out for Karrin was wonderful BTW, something he cooked up almost two years ago, from the very early days of the silver rose campaign, and only now has been revealed. Karrin needed to the courage to confront Veria the devil though and had you still been around I'd have had Karrin beg Eir to accompany her :)

Here's Lonnie.

Here's Lonnie.

Nice! What a horny fellow!

Nice one Shinny

Unfortunately it has been 21 days since my post and that doesn't bode well for me being able to keep up with the game. Thanks for the invite. If real life lightens up then maybe I will be able to follow up on the mushroom man. Until then, I will still be reading. I look forward to the game continuing...

Guys, apologies. Just started new job and there's a lot going on. I will be intermittent in posting until weeked. Thanks

No problem Pat, update when you can.

It's that time of the year again - I'm headed off to the annual International Studies Association conference on Friday and won't be back until next Monday. If it is anything like the previous conferences, the hotel will charge such exorbitant rates for internet connections that I'll be offline until the whole thing is over. :(

Roach is easy - just keep drinking, swearing and shooting stuff, and nobody will even notice that I'm gone.

How far in the future is this again?

Also, have any of you ever read The Book of Dave by Will Self?

Wow, Shiny I somehow missed this post. Yeah its currently 2208 CE. The big meldown happened exactly 100 years ago in 2108. Never read the book, I'll hafta check it out ...

Hey folks. Today, thanks to several converging things I have made a descision to take a sabbatical from being online for a while. I apologize that this will mean I wont be posting updates, but I am sure I will return at some point. Thank you all for being part of my madness and I hope we can resume at some point in the future.

Patrick

I understand Patrick, Although I do hope to see you sooner then later! You're an awesome DM but real life comes first. Do what you need to do and please come back to us.

What Guy said. Meatspace comes first.

Alright, I'm back from the land of no internet connection. What did I miss?

Roger that. Will try not to kill Sarge.

Hey folks. My life is actually settling down quite a bit better than I had anticipated. I think that I will be able to resume a regular posting style a few weeks earlier than I had anticipated. If you guys haven't moved on, I will be more than happy to resume the mantle of GM.

Hey K you getting ZDay back online? C'mon, stop dilly-dallying about and fire that mother up!

Z-day is a go. GO see. I'm trying to do this right, so it takes some thinking and writing. I've got about 50 pages of handwritten notes I'm going through.

Aaaaand AJ is online and updated. Signing off for day, enjoy and mayhap I'll get some time to post tomorrow.

ZDay I assume will be on hold until K finishes celebrating his transition into his fifth decade of life ...
