DMDM's Way of the Wicked, Part II: The Dark Tower

Game Master Douglas Muir 406

I can make pots of lesser restore but thatsbit

Saw captain america on opening day

Saw it on an early screening as well, probably the best of the franchise since Iron Man I, I love all the little in jokes, did everyone catch

I don't /think/ you've encountered anything yet with treasure in its belly.

Not saying it will never happen, but it's a bit less likely when you're fighting angels, paladins, and good-aligned creatures generally.

Random: are any of you following Erfworld?

If you're not: it's a webcomic whose premise is that a gaming nerd from our world gets sucked into a world that's built on the rules of a turn-based strategy game. It has suffered from wildly uneven art over the years... twice now, they've started with a so-so artist who has gradually become good, then excellent, then left the comic. Here's a short Youtube summary:

Anyway, they're having a Kickstarter now. If you like the comic, check it out. If you don't know it, you can start with Book One here

-- or go to the kickstarter and buy it as an ebook for $5.

I would like to propose we start a group fund for wands, random scrolls, and stuff like that we use for the party. If you don't feel it is in line with an evil party that is fine as well but I at least wanted to propose it.

If we each take 10% of our loot share we should build up enough for these types of things.

It would make things easier when it comes to the whole: "We need a new wand of healing, will everyone please subtract X from your sheet." "I only have Y." "Oh, well Player Z will pay X-Y for that portion." "No, no, Player A will help out too so its.."

and so on.

I'm not really a big fan of wands of CLW, they burn.

In fine w that

Utility scrolls wands and potions galore

I will add a group loot fund to the tracking sheet

I am trying to find a PM I sent to DM awhile back ago, how do you search in PM?

Not sure you can.

Also, we have 41 charges left on the Infernal healing wand.

Yeah, Paizo's PM system is pretty crap. It lets you send and receive PMs, but AFAICT you can't sort and you can't search.

(Also, a search function for a campaign would be nice. Currently, if you're looking for something but not sure where it is, you have to do separate searches on the gameplay and discussion threads.)

Yep, that is a reason why I hate using PM for anything other than short and very infrequent communications. Otherwise, it takes forever to find things. On top of which, there is no way to link to the messages without just cutting and pasting them to another post.

If you have had a discussion in the PM and want to be able to find it, you can always post something in the OOC to enable you to later be able to track down the date of the PM. I currently have over 1000 PMs and hate having to search through them for things, which I have to do every so often.

Well, for the record my personal email addy is "vormuir" in the domain men know as yahoo, dot of the com. I have no objection to you guys e-mailing me directly.

Lol judge master if diplomacy

Love it

It's ok ulp will put him to sleep and then cdg time :) let Edmin get him w his own scythe

We are still in the 'talk phase' nothing has changed. The Judge actually has the best diplomacy.

This guy has clearly attempted to threaten us with his buddy Booger. I do not see how these comments are terribly misplaced since this guy seems to have already said that he wiped out the 8th.

I do not think he attempted to threaten us with Booger, supposedly he is not even here. And I do not believe he said he destroyed the 8th, only that he knew of them. We may NEED information from him to avoid their ruinous fate.

At work now, more later.

I never said they were spiky boots.

I love my pair of spiky boots.

Apologies...player knowledge bleeding into game knowledge.

Sorry sorry

I wanted to post and say something as Edmin but have not gotten a reply.

As is, I guess Cуровую can throw her voice as Edmin?

Its not really her style to make bar room jokes but its what the situation needs.

I note that you're throwing your voice to make Edmin say stuff that's almost 180 degrees opposite from what he was saying earlier -- viz., he's going from "stand down, we're all friends here" to "ha ha, tiny dick".

If that's what you want, go for it. Just sayin'.

I am at a loss to how to deal with the redcap.

It seems to want to interact, but I have no clue how to work the situation, since it was throwing out insults I was guessing that was a clue to how it was used to dealing with others.

Its a fey. Don't ask it questions, don't directly insult it. You have to be cunning, asking questions via statements and poking fun at it in a way that is still somewhat respectful, but mischevious.

Come on, hasn't anyone read/watched anything with fey in it before? :P

No, but Dren would be fine cutting his heart out and sacrificing it to the dark gods.

Busy week at work -- I may be down for a day or two before I can give the Judge's poetry the review it deserves.

Can't wait to hear the response. Hope I did not annoy him too much. I am sure I will get a scathing review, but at least that will give the Judge something else to be bitter about - other than the sun, the weather, the sun worshippers, life, and his current lot in (un)life.

Still in that holding pattern at work. Will try to get something up tomorrow.

I have a midterm Thursday and a long paper due Friday, on top of my regular work. This was my semi free day, I'll check postings tomorrow but it will be busy a little for me.

I should be able to have normal amount of posting by Saturday.

Sounds like a good week for you to NOT be distracted by this game...I have been super busy as well so the break has been good.

Just got a full-time employment offer, but should still be able to post regularly once a day either in mornings or evenings depending on the shift. Only took five months to find full-time, hurrah job market!

Congratulations. I have been looking for 5 years. Fortunately as an attorney, I can also run my own shop. But, it is not how I really want to be "employed" as marketing is not my strong suit.

My brother has been out of work for a year and a half. He does not have very good interviewing skills though. He is the kind of guy you hire for a production line or help desk.

He shows up every day on time, does a good job, does as he is asked, and never wants to be the boss.
The bad, he is overweight and shy. That pretty much makes people think he is lazy when they meet him...which he is not. Not a good position to be in with this labor market and him being 47.

Congratulations Jax!

You guys can come to New York and work for me.

Do any of you look good in heels?

:)

Do any of you look good in heels?

:)

Only if you want to scare people away.

At 4 AM when there are lingering patrons at closing time, sure!

I'm a runner and have just started up fencing again, I might be able to pull off the heels with these calves. Bit hairy for drag though..and last time my wife waxed my chest was not a pleasant experience.

I'm a runner, started up fencing again, with these calves. waxed my chest was not a pleasant experience.

Why don't you come over here and tell me more sailor.

At 4 AM when there are lingering patrons at closing time, sure!

You are probably the only one in the PBP that can stay up until 4am though these days in any case...lol

Dren might be a night owl but I can't stay up past 11pm...unless it is a real special occasion.

I used to be a marathon runner. I would literally run 10k before breakfast a couple of times a week. Go me!

Then I had kids.

As to the job market, oh yeah. I'm currently employed and making a decent wage, I've spent four of the last six years as a freelancer. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to make that work, but it wasn't easy, and it was very stressful on my family. I was freelancing (and actively looking for work) when I started this campaign. Who knows where we'll all be when it ends?

Anyway, congratulations Jax!

Who knows where we'll all be when it ends?

There will probably twelve others sharing Bref and Xen's flat. Half of them Mini gm's PCs.

Suuuure the kids made you stop running.

:)

What would you think about during those long runs?

I try to listen to audio book son the treadmill because music gets tedious after 50th time you listen to it.

No way zimu ulp is making it to the end. He is smart and wiser than bref and keeps his mouth shut

Suuuure the kids made you stop running.

They're very time-consuming.

What would you think about during those long runs?

What does anyone think about anytime? I never was much into music while running -- too much hassle fiddling with the earplugs and whatnot. Running with a group is good, especially if you find a group that's about at your level.

What does anyone think about anytime?

Shoes. Outfits. Chocolate. Vacation. Sex.

DnD sometimes...how much it hurts after 4 miles when you are heading up that big hill...a cold beer waiting for me after the race...how hot the girl is running in front of me :]

So just remove the shoes, outfits, chocolate, vacation and our list is pretty much the same...

What I think about while running is, "My god, why the heck am I running, I hate running for no purpose."

On the other hand, put me on a bike, and I can go all day. However, it is way too dangerous to listen to anything while biking.

I doubt I could run a marathon, but I try to do a regular 1-2 miles everyday and have been trying to get back into doing a 30-60 minute workout as well. The only sports I enjoy, fencing and kitesurfing, have outfits that look terrible if you have a bit of paunch.. Have you ever seen a fat fencer? It looks bad. Same with a wetsuit.

Actually, you'll sometimes see a "divemaster" build that is... well, not fat, and not with a paunch. But more like a very fit normal person with an extra inch of fat all around. Long time surfers, same. Its like spending thousands of hours in the water causes your body to start trying to grow a layer of blubber. Spending thousands of hours surfing or scuba diving also makes you incredibly fit, so this results in a pretty distinctive body type.

Okay, open for business again. Please post on the gameplay thread.
