I don't see a downside to that, I was just wondering if it would be worth it to increase the DC for the undead to halve the damage. Obviously, if I'm going to be healing most of the time, I'll get less benefit from it.
Maybe I'll extra channel now and look at improved next time around...
Happy holidays everyone. Enjoy!
Alinya is leveled up, just need to update her profile. Oh, HP:
You can take middle roll h.p. i.e. 4 instead of 3.
Anyway's, looks like things are stopped for the Holidays, so Merry Christmas, and see y'all in a couplea days!
Huzzah!!!
Happy New Year!
JUST got back into town tonight.
Will catch up asap.
I think most everyone here is on at least one of my other threads, ;)
But, FYI- my wife's granny is not doing well.
Short version (Unusual for me, I know) Too many complications.
Sadly, she isn't expected to make it much longer.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you and your wife have had a chance to be in touch with her and let her know what she means to you.
Hi Rag, sorry to hear about your wide's nan. I knew you had a relative in hospital but not the details. I hope you and your wife can support each other through what will be a hard time.
Take care.
Sorry to hear, Ragadolf.....
Thank you all. I appreciate it.
Today My wife's grandmother did pass away. I think It's hardest on my wife and sister-in-law, but we will all miss her.
SO, We will be fine, but we do have to get through all of the required arrangements. SO, again, I will catch up asap.
:)
My condolences, Ragsy.
Oh, sorry Rags. Look after your wife and make sure you've got your support network on the case too. Looking after a grieving spouse is hard in all sorts of ways, some of them unexpected.
Take care.
I don't want to say "me too", but I have to echo the sentiments. My condolences. Remember the good times and remember that she's watching over you. (In the case of my dearly departed grandmother, I think that gave a cousin or two the willies. YMMV.)
Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind thoughts.
I'm fine, really. I just worry about my wife.
(Of course I do that a lot anyway) ;)
She was very close to her grandmother, And I don't think the full impact has hit her yet.
Just pray for her and her family, (and that I remember to keep my 'sensitive' hat on for the next several weeks!)
Thanks AinvarG, I needed that image! ;)
I can just see my own departed grandmother looking down on me from upstairs, shaking her head every time I buy a gaming book! :)
(Not that she had any complaints with gaming that I am aware of. But she could stretch a penny until it turned into copper wire!) :D
Yeah; my great grandfather could wipe with one square.
um,... ok,... wow,... That IS thrifty. (Was he Scottish?) ;)
But I figure that he probably used up what he saved in the extra soap he used afterwords.
If not,... ewww!
;)
(JK! JK!) :D
Seriously, my grandmother worked for Wal-Mart for 40 years. She actually worked for Sam Walden. (The poor man MUST be turning over in his grave at what they are doing to his company! /rant)
She also invested as much as she was allowed to in her stock options. And they split while she was still working there. Like 4 times.
Let's just say that when she had her stroke, my family never had to spend any money to take care of her. She had it covered.
I really wish I was more like her. ;)
His wife was Scotch Irish; he was Norwegian.
He stabbed a bull in the testicles that was goring his father one time.
Ok. Now THAT is a Man!
Hands down. He wins.
I don't think the 'Most Interesting Man in the World' has anything on that!
:)
Getting my crap together; did some stuff this morning, then slept all afternoon.
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Hope you feel better soon Heath.
We’ve been having some strange-ass weather here. It’s mid summer, but we’ve been getting a lot of rain and cold weather, I think a lot of people have been coming down with sore throats and colds because of that. I’ve had that sort of ‘rusty’ throat in the mornings for the past few days, that may or may not develop into a full blown cold or whatever.
And on this side of the equator, in what should be the depths of winter, we went for a lovely bicycle ride today. Seems a little odd to be riding a bicycle when there is snow on the ground (not a lot, but still). Weird weather, for sure. In fact, if not for family obligations in December, we would be able to claim to have ridden our bikes every month since we got them.
(Not that we could ride every day, but I really don't expect to be getting the bike out of storage this time of year, you know? Except maybe for repairs...)
Hope you guys are all feeling better soon. I will do my best to continue dodging the bugs, myself.
Weird weather EVERYwhere then!
DOwn here in Lousy-anna, (where it is not unusual to mow your yard in December, but still) With the exception of maybe 2 or 3 days, I have never worn my coat this 'winter'. And today, in the middle of what should be the coldest part of the year here, my daughter is currently outside in shorts bouncing a basketball. ;P
JUst got over the bleechies myself. Hope the rest of you feel better soon!
Got called in on call; see you guys in 3-4 hours maybe.
Hey guys, I'll be away for a couple days over the weekend, with no real internet access.
Played some broom ball (like hockey on ice, with littler sticks and tennis shoes); now I have to go buy some pain medicine.
Back in a little bit!!!
Wifey; and I'm outta ibuprofen; and I racked myself on the ice,.....
It's been a reeeeeeeeely mild winter here; no freezes or hardly any; it's been 60 or 70 deg f. for a high every day.

Um,... Owie?
Sounds like our 'winter' here in Lousy-anna.
We've been 60-70 F here almost the entire winter as well. I think I've actually worn my coat once.
Maybe twice. ;P
Thanks Mothman :) I've been playing it cool so far but I would have said something before the voting starts. It's ... very exciting.
Heh, I can imagine! :)
Good Luck Will!
Thanks Ragadolf.

The entries for Round 2 of RPG Superstar 2012 are up. Please visit my organisation, the Stormsworn Company, and let me know what you think. The rest of the competition is all decided by public voting, so please consider me for one of your eight votes. Many thanks!
Mothman - thanks for your comments already :)
Yeah; I'm checking it out....
Woot!
I mean,...
'Yes. I may peruse it when I have leisure time.'
;P
Ah heckwitit,... I'm looking now! :)
Yeah; I'm really trying to make sure as many horror tropes as possible get paid homage in this bad boy.
I think it's easier to run grand melee's in pbp, due to the time lag.
It's not 100% totally run perfectly by any means, but you get the gist.

By the way Heath, I’m probably going to be running Carrion Crown for my RL group starting in a few months. I’ve read through some of it before we started playing, and I’ve cracked HoH open to have another look at the Ravengro article, the haunt article and the new monsters the other day – I’ll probably re-read it in earnest in the next couple of weeks to start prep for my game. Hope you don’t mind, also if I nab a few of the changes you’ve made to things (might be a larger than standard group too).
We were going to do Kingmaker, which looks awesome ... but ended up seeming a bit too epic in scope, I don’t think we would finish it inside of 6 years.
Yeah; it's all good.
I love germinating mayhem.
It's my karma.
I think my weird little alters can keep Castiel interested.
I wonder if we'll even finish Carrion Crown in 6 years,......heh heh.....

In pbp ... probably not. How long have we been doing RotRL, I don’t think we’re officially done with book 3 yet (or at least not properly started book 4). Still, your games probably keep a slightly faster pace than Aubrey’s ... let’s see, we started the actual game here at the start of April last year, so we’ve got two months to finish book 1 in under a year ... could be do-able.
It's great to be seriously contemplating a fighting retreat. The shuffling horde adds a real degree of tension to the fight. I'm actually glad we decided to adventure up here with our resources already low. Proper scary stuff - nice work heathy.
I can't believe I so badly misjudged what I was getting into and I appear to have survived to tell the tale, running down alongside the stairs like that. I thought I could knock out some skeletons before they could gang up on us, but I had no idea they weren't all there yet...

Thanks!!!
It's hard to build tension in a pbp; it's kinda a slow medium.

mwahahaha!
Hey, Rholf, I was curious how our channeling DCs compared (among the three channelers) and I think you are shorting yourself a point (probably from when you leveled up).
