Any of you want to join in one of my upcoming horror themed games?
One is Call of Cthulhu (The Haunting - beginner friendly), the other Pathfinder (Hangman's Noose - Paizo Module)I am running them at a different webite, so I'd have to PM you the relevant recruitment thread if there is interest.
I'm a fan, i would take a look
Huh? How so?or maybe I just don't understand the idea very well.
Its the Lost/Aliens comparison is what bothers me. I love the idea of a survival crafting type game against the wilds. But its the freaky stuff that gets me.
Who knows what's under those stones, or over the hill or lurking in the trees ;)

lol
I hear ya. I guess the older I get, the more uninterested I am in horror and weird scifi type stuff. things like X files and such never did appeal to me, and it does so even less now.
That said, the idea of a Robinson Crusoe/Lord of the Flies survival against the terrain and the natural needs of life, that to me sounds really fun.
I guess I just really hated Lost, and as a result it makes me gunshy.
Am a Lost hater too, but think that the game Devon's pitching has very cool potential with a survival saga with a dash of who knows what.
Personally I'd love it if the pitch was last folk standing after an Alive meets Ravenous scenario lol.

WENDIGO!
God I love that movie SO so much...
The Lost thing was mostly to acknowledge that there is an island, and weird things happen on it and that might be supernatural in origin. I, however, do plan on there actually being a REASON for all that crap being around...just saying.
Aliens is mostly because there are things that go bump (possibly...maybe...) and it might seem sort of a fight for life. Remember that Aliens was much less horror much more action/adventure.
That said I love sci-fi and horror so *shrug*. My wife hates a lot of it so I have to indulge in it when I can. :p I tend more toward action/adventure though, even with my "horror" elements so there may be things that are "unnerving" but I don't tend to be overly graphic or sensationilist. IF I wanted to really amp up the horror then everyone would be a level 1 NPC class. Expert and commoner versus the world!
I loved LOST, just sayin' ;)
And my games will be overly graphic in places ^^ Especially Hangman's Noose. That one is pretty gory. The Haunting has more of a Paranormal Activity vibe.
If I wasn't in so many games and just startet two myself, I might actually apply for yours. But I don't wanne burn out.
Already had to restrain myself from applying to Emerald Spire :/
I pity the bandit.
Who will be the good cop? Or do we have only bad ones? :)
Cuddles is less cop and more the guarantee... if you want details, just read our first bandit interrogation...
I did check up on your first "interogation" just now.
I have to say, I'm quite impressed. That was really messed up :O
Ra'hl can play good cop, but he is unlikely to do so in this situation.
I will have to read the first interrogation tomorrow.
I don't think Mattrim would make a an effective good cop candidate. Saber night though.
:-p
As far as our first bandit encounter all I can say is we tried to do right, lol
I think I must have repressed that memory.
Duška will pitch in with weird cop as necessary.
And Anton's the guy who gets stuck with the paperwork, right? :P
Well cuddles certainly can't do it. Not unless you want it filled out in pictures. ;)
just echoing Cuddles here, Mattrim: He's a full bloodied orc, nothing half ;)
Thought the hunter might well mistake him for that.

Hang on i'll have something up in a couple of minutes.

Indeed, this group is made of win.
Alas, I pity the two fools. Especially if the group goes for execution once again :O
Going for missile lock...
I've got good tone...
Firing...
EDIT: Goes without saying Devon, considered this a readied attack. If this guy decides he thinks he can run, Aleria is just going to attempt to make him die tired.
I'm sure this is going to help Aleria and Ra'hl's team building!
Was writing up Duška's response when Ra'hl ninja'd me lol.
Figured that she would make one last effort in her own weird way (hence the hiss in anger/exasperation) - bearing in mind this is the first two bandits they've come across as she treads this new penitent path...
Needless to say she sees much of herself, who she was, who she could have been in these men... trying to put that across without flogging the dead bandit, I mean horse ;)
Loving the interplay
I want to make sure I understood. When she said earlier that he could go, he said he was going back to the Stag Lord correct?
bah
I hate when this happens - two characters doing contradicting but very significant things at the same moment -.-
She gave him a choice, either go to Brevoy in peace, or carry a message to the Stag Lord.
My understanding was that he was saying he would head to brevoy, and that he was sorry, but he wasn't very spirited or very believable in his apology.
eeep!
Sorry about that Natasha. Totally didn't mean to ninja you like that.
>.<
I suppose we could say I did my little speech while you were pondering what to do?
This way he would first get my "join us" offer, then you summon an elkplosion, then give him the "go if you want" offer
well it would quite the skill to surgically ninja-strike ;)

I don't suppose I see anything wrong with that. Aleria is mostly trying to get them out of the way before she goes off on a couple of the party members. :P
No one in particular mind you... *cough* Rogarvia *cough*

You know, we are such a lively group. Just imagine what will happen when it comes time to actually fight something?
So how bout you cut your post in two - putting all content after the spoiler tag into a new post after mine? That way it will mostly make sense ;)
And once we fight, the end result will be one for the books.
PS: and Jarek's choice will be quite the meaningful one if he picks my offer!
Ra'hl's only issue is the threatening death and torture. Putting a blade to his neck or an arrow in his lap every couple of seconds. If you want to offer him mercy then do it. If you want him dead, then do it. But the grey feels wrong to him. I'm hoping I'm getting that across well enough.
Yep, that was the vibe I gor from Ra'hl.
But you have to savor the subtelty of ambiguitiy, friend ;)
Cuddles has a thing or two to say as well, but I'll let that simmer while youall get all the yelling out of your system. :)
Wow, go to lunch, come back and...
I get where Rahl is, and it was never about torture. But that will come out.
the threats and indimidation are very much violence and could be seen as torture, so I absolutely get what he means.
@Devon: You come back and ... Elkplosion!
heh, elk
Well, almost elksplosion.
waiting to see how this pans out before I do that. I was sort of running roughshod over some other people and I don't want to exclude anyone.
Poor Anton, if Devon thinks he got blindsided, wait till Anton sees this all play out :P
One day, we'll all just get on and post random things in discussion like,
1
2
3
4
5
6
until there are 100 new posts and really freak everyone out when they get on.
You know, with the reply Rahl gave..., i'm tempted to..., how did grandma used to put it...
Take him out back to the wood shed so we can has a come to Jesus meeting?
You'ld have a better chance converting Ra'hl to Erastil than you would Jesus.
More Just a figure of speech.
