FAWTL Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Jess Door

No problem at all.

I must admit, I was very eager to get through the opening scene.

I'd like to ask you guys' opinion:

The adventure is supposed to start out with everyone in the cave, remembering the events in the city. Even though it was dangerous to do so (for some reason players assume they might have a chance to survive the situation their GM throws them into), I thought it would be preferable to see the scene unfold.

What do you guys think? Was it so railroady I should have just done it as the adventure suggests?

I for one very much liked the chance to both set down a bit about my character as well as hear (both from a meta and IC perspective) the circumstances and background of the other PCs

in other words yeah I liked the initial stuff as opposed to just starting in the darkness

What he said.

ugh orthos that was like twice the words I normally like to use

=)

I think it worked. It might depend on the group, though. I think someone would be more okay with it than others.

Yeah Xion's a bit of a hothead/has a bit of a temper. But he earned it.

Question: What exactly is Tasnim looking at?

I may just be a bit dense, but I have a complete and utter lack of spatial awareness and have absolutely no idea who is where in relation to each other. Is there any way we could get a map? Even a google spreadsheet would help. The absolute last thing I want is accidental PVP because I was stabbing in the dark.

I won't be able to get you a pic until I get my hard drive sorted. :(

Hard drive all better now, I hope?

nope. I'm making a backup right now, but I did te image first. :)

after the backup, I'm going to run a checkdisk. I tried to run one earlier, but it keeps stopping at the same place (probably the place that is causing the errors in the first place),so I decided to get the backup working.

then I'll just let tht checkdisk run as long as it needs, see if I can rescue it. :)

Backup failed. Sad panda...

Failure complete, sans backup. I now get to wait for dell to send a restore disc. Yay. No more images can happen until I get my system back up. PhotoShop is a bit much on my Surface...

suxx0rz

yup. I can't boot off the drive, but I hope I can recover some of my art, at least, with a usb enclosure. Reintaling things sucks, but it's not the end of the world. :) mostly it's the retarded wait because dell doesn't give you discs anymore...

The only reason Xion didn't sock him in the nose is because she's too far away. She really dislikes this guy... absolutely zero apologies for the attitude adjustment.

I'm shocked. He's such a sweet guy...

I got notice that Dell is sending out the "factory install disc" today. I may have full computer back by the end of the week. The real question is, should I install photoshop on my Surface in the meantime?

Managed to pick up a few more spoons. Should be back to regular posting now that I'm not afraid to use the internet or leave the house.

Yay =)

I think fear of the internet is one of the more rational fears out there, honestly. I think those of us that keep coming back without trepidation might have issues. :D

Of course, I have multiple plant-based phobias, so I may not be the best person to make judgement calls on such things.

Oh, and the answer to the question about installing Photoshop on the Surface was "yes". :D

I am mainly just afraid of clowns and velociraptors
and by afraid
I mean hitting them with a baseball bat until they stop moving
and then hitting them a bit more
just in case

"Let's check for a pulse."

BAM!

"None anymore."

checking them for a pulse implies touching them with something other than the baseball bat

which I will not do

I'm afraid of answering the telephone and opening mail. Oh, and the doorbell. And emails. >.>

You haven't seen Pacific Rim yet have you =)

Never fear, citizen, we will protect you, even if you haven't taken advantage of all the excellent merchandise and media we offer for your entertainment and edification.

I know that feel. Big time.

I can do it just fine as part of a job, but when it comes to people specifically trying to communicate with me -- yikes.

I hate phones, except with family - even then preferably I initiate the call.

That's the nice thing about texting, communication done and don't have to talk on the phone. Also keeps conversations short and avoids awkward silences.

I just don't like talking on the phone period. I did three months at a phone-survey place. Never again.

My high school job involved calling people to tell them their catalog orders were in at Sears. I got to the point where I could tell if somebody was hearing the phone ring or not within a ring or two.

Nobody ever believes me, but it's true. I let one call ring 20+ times and the lady thanked me profusely. She was out hanging laundry and ran in to catch the call and was sure I'd hang up before she got there, but I knew somebody would answer.

Then there's the time I called my boyfriend and let it ring and ring and ring, sure he could hear it. He could - but he was locked out of the apartment at the time and couldn't answer.

Really.

No using your strange psychic powers on me!!!

Psychic powers hmm? I have something I'd like you to try....

the call is coming
from inside the house

Is surgery involved? >_>

No, but you might feel a slight sucking sensation followed by vertigo.

Hey, as a heads up, it may be a bit before I can post. First job ended with a slight detour to HR, and I'm actually running behind for getting to second job. This is been an interesting week, and I will post when I can.

May everything go well!

eeeew..grappling a giant, dog-sized maggot.

Gross.

but
but I am winning!

I mean yeah poor Penitent is covered in slime, slug vomit and half-digested spider guts but he is totally grappling the hell out of that maggot

And the rest of us are so jealous.

That'll do, pig, that'll do

treppa do not be a hater just because your character did not get covered in maggot vomit and spider guts

wait

Yeah, Treppa, I understand. I just wanted to make sure I was clear - the last time things stuttered a bit, it turned out the descriptions that were extremely clear to me as I described the map in front of me were not so clear to those without the map. Just wanted to be sure there weren't any confusions/questions/things that needed clearing up. :)

The Red Penitent is cracking me up. I can't recall the last time I saw such a unique PC.

Horgus is somewhat terrified of him. :)

stop it I am just blushing right down to my bones
also horgus is soooooo getting some post-battle victory celebration grapple-hugs from now on
