Dungeon Master Heathy's Carrion Crown

Game Master Heathansson

I'm getting the hang of posting via iPhone, so I should have more time to work my character. If I fall silent for too long, feel free to advance my next move as you see fit

I need one a those. (lol)
I had to quit teh internetz @ work, but for some reason I see people zoning out looking at their phones and that's okeley dokeley...
meh, if I do it it'll be a dealyo so...

Happy easter everyone. I'm happy to wait for Rags if he's back today, otherwise Edwin can take a pot-shot and move us along.

And he's back!
Mostly.
Hey, YOU spend a week doing physical labor, then another two days getting beat up, by girls mostly. (Well, actually, that part wasn't so bad,...)
;D

Stage combat workshop was fun. I almost got very sick on Sunday once I got home, I figure it was just exhaustion. (I hope)

Heh. NOW I just have to figure out how to choreograph a fight scene for Beauty & the Beast Jr. involving 80+ kids all on stage at the same time,... In between my usual end-of-college-semester insanity.

Ah well, at least I'm not bored! :)

I'll catch up asap,... (Emphasis on the "p") ;P

heh heh.

Happy Easter!!!

Did everyone have a good long weekend (or have one at all)?

We got an extra long weekend in Australia, Easter + Anzac Day, given that this was the latest Easter has fallen in the last 60 years or something ... 5 days off, Friday through Tuesday!

First three days were pretty busy with family stuff, kid stuff, chores ... come Monday the five year old was hyped up on too much chocolate and probably frustrated at being stuck inside (it rained most of the long weekend) and he just went feral ... then got sick. By Monday night everyone in the house but me was sick, and that continued through to Tuesday. After looking after everyone I am exhausted ... and finding it really hard to get into working today.

I was on call, but didn't get called in at all, so I chilled.

I skipped the easter egg hunt, but went to me mum's for dinner.
It was pretty mellow.

Yeah, nice chill out time thanks. We were going to go on a two day hike but bailed when we saw the weather forecast. Had some nice food instead and watched Inception at last.

All good stuff.

Inception's badass.

We've been having afternoon thunderstorms with hail and tornadoes for two days now in the Dallas Fort Worth metro area and/or nearby.

April's not leaving like a lamb.

Inception is great. My favourite movie of the last few years, probably the last decade or so.

My almost-five year old spent last night flipping through the bestiary, rolling polyhedron dice and doodling on a bit of paper because ‘I want to be like daddy’ (gods help the kid).

I’ve been thinking of running a game for him but not sure when is the right time.

My son plays video games; IDK when either. It's kinda a digital world now.

He's been badgering me to learn chess though. It's hard to teach kids; I have no patience.
My dad taught me, but he kinda got off on pushing my buttons, so it was entertaining to him.

5 is pretty young for learning chess, and maybe other games would be better starting points for that whole strategic thinking line. Roleplaying on the other hand sounds perfect; it's just telling stories together. You could probably ditch most of the rules and just bring them in gradually.

Has anyone heard from Pat? Was going to write a turn for him, but don't want to jump in too soon.

I think his daughter's back in the hospital, so...he'll prolly be in and out, more out than in for a while.

Ah, that's cr@p.

Looking up I noticed that I got moth-son and heathy-son mixed up. How old is your son Heathy?

I'll post for pat and aubs.

right on; he's 7, almost 8. Bout time he learned.

He's been badgering me to learn chess though. It's hard to teach kids; I have no patience.

My dad taught me, but he kinda got off on pushing my buttons, so it was entertaining to him.

Yeah, I tend to get a bit impatient. And my son really doesn’t like losing, even in minor ways. He’ll land on a snake in snakes and ladders and have a mini tantrum, even though the game’s not over yet. Every time we play something or do something that has a competitive aspect we’ll tell him, ‘now, it’s not about winning, it doesn’t matter if you win, it’s about having fun playing the game’ and he’ll say yeah, he knows, and then you’ll get the tantrum when / if he doesn’t win ... I know there’s no winning or losing in RPGs, but I’m sure he’d see NOT hitting the bad guy in any given combat as ‘losing’.

My son starts inventing moves, and trying to convince me that he won anyway.

Lol :) all very creative :)

And I should just stop rolling for the day...

Owell,....
can't win them all. ;)

I think I'm gonna crash; big day tomorrow and whatever.

Heh.
Yeah, my kids have actually been asking me if/when they can play 'daddy's games' with me. My daughter is more than old enough, (11, almost 12) and my son is almost 8 (IF he lives that long! He's pushing his luck right now!) but like above he has the not-so-mini tantrums when he doesn't 'win'.

I like the one where he creates moves and tries to convince you that he won Heathy. That sounds a lot like mine. :) Maybe we should get them together.

Um,... then again,... maybe not. ;)
(Mine is a handful without any help)

Nighters all,...

I'm still about, but if I don't post in a timely manner, please feel free to NPC Nigel in my place. Lots of stuff going on as y'all know...

Hope things start looking up Pat.

Ditto, hang in there Pat.

My son looked at the game thread;
he says, "your friend.....Beldan,....he wants to sneak attack..."
and then he starts laughing;
"and....this one guy...."
he's laughing,
"this one guy said, MWA HA HA HAHA!"
SO I says,
"that's me..."
so he says,
"so, where's your game board?"

He'll be like the airplane guy's kid in Beyond Thunderdome.

prepare, my son.....to enter....
THE CAVES OF CHAOS!!!!

Yeah, echo the best wishes Pat.

prepare, my son.....to enter....

THE CAVES OF CHAOS!!!!

Good times, good times.

Only module I've been through, and ran, more than once.
:)

Ah, it's a module. I just thought it was a heathy name for the naughty-corner. "Son, that's bad behaviour. Go and sit in THE CAVES OF CHAOS until you're ready to say sorry."

Oh; it's B2-Keep on the Borderlands......

It's been about 36 hours - someone wanna roll for Kruely? I think we can guess Wod's next action :D

Yeah; it's all good.

So, my son rolled up "The Extermipwner." Dwarf fighter, with a katana sword. My daughter is "Princess Pointy Horn," the 1/2 orc. 4d6. Ones go over. They're at the keep, on the borderlands........the Duke or who ever told them to go to the Caves of Chaos, and extermipwn......kobolds,.....goblins.....hobgoblins. My son said "I'm gonna need some recruits. Fifty men......I need archers. And a phalanx.

AWESOME!

And, yes, the ALL CAPS was called for.

Also, I'm sure Frank Trollmann has some useful opinions on dwarves with katanas.

weird.
my "cay" button only types an O.
What the fuco?

Also, I'm sure Frank Trollmann has some useful opinions on dwarves with katanas.

Only idiots play dwarves with katanas. And you are an idiot. And you.

He can use the katana to cut through cave walls. Should come in handy.

I'd rather he said "katana" than "bastard sword" anyhow.

Heh.
Heheh,...

Awe. Some.

Good job 'daddy-Heath'. :)

Thanx, boss!

I am on a more even keel thanks to my daughter being hoimne. Willl finish Nigel as I can. Thanks everyone for the well wishes

Good news!
I can see how that would help. :)

Now, get some sleep! :D

(Because I can't. Almost week long show loading in tonight. usual apologies in advance if I disappear.)

I'm so bummed I didn't see this game was getting together, but it's on my must-read list now. It looks like a load of fun.

(And glad to hear that your daughter is home, Patrick. I just found this thread today and I was getting worried -- and she was already home before I found the thread!)

:(
I started with my pbp, then Aubrey,.....then i was full; i wish i could run a 40 man party, man.

Kruelaid, though, with the dead gnome is more than I can deal with....;)

Great that your baby girl is back home with you Pat. Is she all better or are there ongoing things you're dealing with?

:(

It's all good, man. I'll just hide and watch - I'm not sure I'm up to the standards exhibited by the characters presented, anyway.

We just let our subconscious minds drive. Anyone can do it.

Well, your subconscious is fun to see in action. I'm glad you let it out for all to see. (Kind of a gross image, that.)
