Orright - my brother isn't swiftly holding up his end of coming through with the pens I'd asked of him... so I'm going to stop sitting and waiting and just send the bits n' bobs I've already got.
I've put a fragment of your address below for you to double check that I'm going to get the right spot to send yer bits - so if you could have a peepsie and let me know it's either still good or correct it again.
Cept for Kauly... I seem to have lost his somewhere - can ye resend matey?
Dingus: Bivings
Jimmer: River Bend
Cap'n: 16th
Kauly:
You've the right of it on my account, mate.
Yep for me, and I will be moved back in by next week. Just spent the weekend sanding and scraping floors.
That's three of five packages in the wind... apparently should be 5-10 working days, though my general experience is either double or triple that estimate.
Man Malaysia can be a trial at times though, still use stamps for postage no matter what the postage amount... and the customs declaration have to be physically glued onto the package -seems no-one can spring for some stickers. Which of course means that I had to pretend I was a pre-schooler in art class and smooth out the claggy gum by hand.
Hopefully they make the passage without too much distress though.
Dingus and the Cap'n's are bustled up and just awaiting the confirm on address.
You've got my address right...Looking forward...I think...to the arrival :-).
Stands by cottage door and patiently awaits clop of Highland Coo Postage Service :)
Dibbs... Mark... I salute you sir... truly awesome and inspired wee package arrived with me today :)
Nae sure what everyone else got so I'll spoiler my swag ahead of their deliveries... however I would say I'm stoked, humoured and humbled in equal measure lol;
Some stunning dice; a lignum vitae(?) d12 that is representative of Ol' Kauly... beaut wee thing. Also a d6 that is a more cherry colour - looks amazing. Graining on both is superb and will be treasured. To top that they were presented in a wee clip pouch/purse/box thing that is very ornate Malaysian patterning...
An amazingly cool collection of Campaign Coins (? Or similar??) - take it these were possibly from the pedos treasure chest?
4 sachets of super powered coffee with special additives such as Ginseng, Kopi Pracampur and Dengan Tongat Ali... clearly made to keep you up in all circumstances lol.
All in all a very happy Kaul - kudos and heartfelt thanks from Scotia shipmate... :)
Bloody heck - didnae think it was going to get there that quick :) - but happy that it did and that it was appreciably received. Everyone is getting same same but different, so feel free to take a peepsie if you feel inclined.
The pouch thingy... is actually a lipstick container :P - I just tore off the mirror as I didn't want the dice rollin about too much in the package.
And aye - the campaign coins were courtesy of my da's pickup at the pedo's treasure chest.
Feck me, Kauly. What does the Postage Service feed their Highland coos?
Ahoy! I'm back from the wilderness with a blister the size of my right foot. oops. I think I actually gained weight hiking 30 some miles over high glacial passes due to the fact I took a girl along who could work wonders with a whisperlite stove. so much for working off that 10 lbs of beer fat I've been storing for packing season :(
Dear Dibbs- address is correct 'til the end of the year at least. can't wait to see the swag!
Awesome Cap'n - glad to hear that the wilderness wandering was enjoyable. I'll get your and Dingus' packages in the wind on Tuesday or Wednesday-ish.
Camp food can be very nice, even with limited cooking utensils. Spaghetti jaffles are a fond memory of mine.
jaffles?
Send it by speedy Scottish coo if you can ;)
Behold! the mighty jaffle iron.
Slap a bit of bread on each side, fill up the middle with whatever leftovers or canned stuff is available, stick it in the embers of a fire and after a few minutes you'll have a tasty toastie on your hands.
Cap'n - how much did we actually end up extorting out of the asylum?
Was it 2,000 sails?

ah, I had a friend who would pack cherry filling in there and call them 'pudgie pies' : )
yep. 2k it was.
Am I right in thinking that yer insanity point value is the penalty hit you take on skills/saves etc?
2k... easy come easy go lol.
Joking apart there are those much more mental than Kauly... although I kinda like Jimmer living up to his monicker :)
Well in Groom and I's magnaminous wisdom... unless you speak up for it IC, we're gonna let ye be mad fer a while.... longer :P
Define mad ;)
All aboard the crazytrain lol
Am I right in thinking that yer insanity point value is the penalty hit you take on skills/saves etc?
yeah, Kaul. IP reduce Wis for everything except spell casting. of course, i'm still trying to fine tune the mechanic. so sorry if I'm still being a little dodgy. It's all good fun, but if it gets too tedious let me know.
hmmm, sorry to flake on the heal spells. I didn't realize they were 6th level and Mog is supposed to be a chiseling pain.
Heh - my fault for jumping on posts :P
I'll let someone else do the negotiatin this time, Dibbs is getting tired of trying to get people to Respect his authoritah
the Groom was all happy to get everyone fixed up until a steep price was mentioned....if you ain't wanting to be fixed...you ain't getting fixed...he's fine with that.
Jimmer's gotten his parcel as well, so that's 2/3 successes thus far. Dingus and Cap'n's missives should be in the mail today ish.
Just got mine today, so 3 for 3. Thank you very much. Love the dice and accoutrements.
Don't mean to hi-jack this discussion thread, but I've been hankering to run a game on the boards here. Pathfinder would be difficult for me, as I travel a lot for work, and it's a pain to use pdf's, but more of a pain to carry all the books...so wanted to see if you guys were interested in a Savage Worlds version of the Iron Kingdoms; Witchfire trilogy.
There's a pretty good wiki Savage IK online. If I decide to go with this it will probably start around the first of September. I want to give everybody in the game time to immerse themselves in the setting, and make the characters part of it.
Just wanted to throw out a few invitations to people I already am familiar with, before beginning recruiting.
Both Savage Worlds and Iron Kingdom would be new to me. I will give it a looksee. The one benefit I have with so many Pathfinder games is I use Hero Lab to do all my crunch. But from what I surmise SW is rules/crunch light, is that correct?

Savage Worlds is delightfully light and easy to use, very easy to pick up and run with.
Scranford - you had me at IK... and methinks that the nuggety half-orc wouldn't be far behind. I'd be up for it.
Och aye - I'd be interested in either... not up on Savage Worlds as a system so would need some coaching and as Dibbs says do love me some IK :)
Sept kick off would give me plenty o' time for character building too... (time being a precious premium in Kaul-land at the moment!)
As for the insanity - am loving it :)
BTW Scran - know you were struggling to get a good handle on Dingus earlier in the campaign - am loving how your playing him recently...
Yeah me too. I know it was a bit two-faced of the Groom to be thinking about slaughtering the fake prophets and here Dingus wants to go and kill the Adabar priest. But the Groom was just wishing he could kill some rabble and you were going to attack a powerful established religion....thanks for the laugh.
Thanks guys. I'm starting to get a handle on Dingus's goals in life...The insanity just makes it feasible...to him anyway. More Shenanigans to come :-)
I'll put up a post when I'm ready to get more serious about the IK game, but you can all start thinking of concepts if you wish. I've got to figure out how to handle the mapping if I even want to mess with that.
my card's full, but good on ya for running a game. I also appreciate Dingus' blossoming megalomania : )
Well sort of. Search the store for "Savage Worlds Deluxe" They have the hardcover, but not the small paperback "Explorer Addition". You should be able to find it though, and if not I know you can get the pdf's at Drive Thru.
Steve
PS: The quick start rules may also be free on Pinnacle's web site.
Here - but it looks out of stock.
The Fantasy Companion may be helpful, depending on how Dingus wants to run it.
Otherwise you could go straight to the equine's mouth.
ok, ya hooligans:
I'm trying to figure out how much money is left in the Vault in response to Kaul's question. I do find it utterly believable and funny that you all pay absolutely no attention to booty other than getting it. Then it's all...whatever. I don't think any of you have kept up with loot on your sheets since 2nd level.
So from the Vault account, I have the Groom's withdrawal for his Repeater. and Dibbets' withdrawal of at least 1000 for his musket. How much was your shot and sporran, Dibbs? and Kaul's dental work at 225.
Anyone else buy anything I'm forgetting? This is other than recent amputations and mind mending.
Dibbets' sporran carried 10 shots, plus the useless one in the musket afore it went kablooey... maybe 1,115gp worth? that should cover it.
To be fair all of Dibbets' possessions bar a skatey cloak and weedy kilt were blown away into the maelstrom :P
the winds bring in and the winds blow away, eh Dibbets?
So i'm putting the Vault account at an even 12,000 sails since I don't recall Dingus or Jim spending any money yet.
I'll put it on the Campaign page.
On hand loot: the cruel club, unknown wand, and 450 left from the asylum, I believe.
Gozreh is truly cruel and kind in his indifference...
450 sails... that should just last out the night of debauchery :P
And the +1 protection ring.
And the +1 protection ring.
check. that, too. there was another ring of protection +1 from the drowned ones encounter. So 2 rings. Who's wearing these?
Jim has a +2 def bonus on his AC. is one of those from the first ring?
Nope; +1 for the Dodge feat and +1 for the 3rd level Free Hand Fighter ability. He also has an amulet of natural armor+1.
check. sooo two rings of protection +1 up for grabs ; )
Jeez we are pretty useless in the lootkeeping department... two +1 Rings of Protection sitting idle... och!
Based purely on AC - reckon Dibbs should get one...
We need tae appoint someone Quartermaster... :S
Forgot about Kauly's grillwork - knew he had the tusk cap, but did I ever get the "Bess" & "Mara" frontz??

Paid, not yet installed. I think Dibbets' musket may need to go back in the shop and perhaps Jim's blade could get an upgrade.
We shall also see what the Inheritor of Serpents has up his narrow sleeve beside vipers.
Kaul will be looking to get a MW Hookhand to kick things off...

Dibbs will be remonstrating with the gnome on his shoddy workmanship ;)
Let's see if I can figure out how to post a link :-)
Here's the recruitment thread for the Savage Worlds IK game I've been considering.

My brother is still in penmaking 'learning' mode - but while you're waiting on your pens getting turned up and made I thought I'd share his latest effort.
I'm guessing they'll end up more as Christmas presents at this rate though ;)
Looks mighty fine piece o' craftsmanship!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Doesn't look much like 'learning'. That looks pretty fine, unless we are not seeing the pile of scrap that led to such a masterpiece.
