There were Giant Ants in a classic series episode, but they were on their own planet, if I remember right.

Definitely need to skip that episode then. *shudder*
Yes, I have an ant phobia. Which is why formians do not exist in this game. Never. Ever. Not gonna happen. No ants.
What about Thri-Kreen? >:)

Dzevezzin is a thri-kreen. I like thri-kreen. I like bugs in general. Only scared of ants. Zero issues with mantises, beetles, bees, etc. Especially fond of spiders.
Lol...Lyn you just gave me a character idea. A Tauric Spider/halfling. Like a Drider, but made out of a Halfling instead of a Drow...
Anybody want to interact with Djalos? I've kind of hit a dead end of both Archena and Djalos staring awkwardly at each other...

I am totally cool with this idea. :)
I will let it brew for a day or two and see where it goes .. :)
Lurch, there's a Drider template on the PFSRD that I believe lets you do exactly this. Might need to toss on another, separate template to get the perfect feel for the race, but maybe not.
Even if you don't use the template, perhaps it can serve as inspiration.
I will probably throw it in with your group, Monkey...
If you do not mind.
I was going to ask if you wanted to do that, so nope, don't mind at all.
Also, for anybody else who wants to join, I plan on making my character around 10th level, give or take, but please do not feel constrained by that in any way.
Oh, and if anybody's been looking for an excuse to use the Augmented or the Eldritch(among other whacky) templates, this is a great time to do so. Considering where and who we're coming from, being experimented on is very likely.
Way ahead of you. ;)
Oh, I have so many cool things, I just don't know which one to pick.
Zyphers, magical tigers with wings, horns, and front paws kinda like a raccoon's, so they can grab things, somewhat.
Hecatonchires, nothing like the mythical version, these are a race of mini hive minds. Each individual has 3-5 bodies and one mind, though older more powerful individuals may have more. There are limits, such as a mental reach of only about one mile, beyond which a body can be separated, usually resulting in that body's death, but sometimes it will awaken as a new person.
Scorls, a spiderlike race, though they are more mammilian with an internal skeleton and hot blood. They have six limbs equidistant around a central body and an eye on top between each leg. There is no head, rather the brain is in the middle of the body.

Ok, then Mr. Giger. ;P
I'm giving this one more try, because taking people out of a scene is no fun, even if it makes sense.
Lyn, I have a PM that I need you to take a look at.
Cindra is not doing much at the moment. Just chillin near the botany classrooms. If anyone has a bored person/is, themselves, bored.
Well, I set up my novel for this year's NaNo. I have so much research/outlining to do before November. >.<
Anyhoo, anyone joining me in the insanity this year, feel free to add me as a writing buddy. Either tell me your profile name so I can add you or look me up and add me. My profile name is Lynora Pefhlawae.
Will update game thread tomorrow when I'm not half asleep. Got a bit lost in the alchemy research today. Time got away from me,
I think I'll go with a Zypher. I'll write it up tomorrow and send it to you Lynora for approval.

I'll be joining you on this one Lyn... though I totally forgot there was a signup for it.
Research and outlining is also eating up my time >_<.
Also, there's no way my story is going to be 50k words or less, so I'm just gonna say that it's my goal to hit 50k words. xD
The more writing buddies, the better. :)
Last year I had two writing buddies and they both flaked on me during the first week. It's no fun if you don't have anyone to commiserate with once you're really stuck in the plot mire at the end of the second week. ;P
I am going to try it. As are my sister and niece. I do not know if I will be able to complete with statistics frying my brain...
I'm looking at watching The Devil is a Part Timer.
Question:
Are subs worth it? I almost always watch subbed, but I'm tired of reading right now. Is the word play in Japanese worth it, or is it more or less the same?
Guys... guys?
Hello?
Anyone there?
Have you all been eaten by the post monster?
I know I have.
See? Totally eaten right now.

When NaNo rolls around, this board tends to go dark for a few months whilst folks here get to authoring and such.
Ye have been warned... ;)
Yeah, I plan to do NaNo...
But I'm a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants girl.
I'll be lucky if I can get off my ass about it soon enough to do a paragraph of planning before November rolls around :P
I need some help smart people!
My grandmother just got a new modem for the house from comcast. It's a combination modem and router, but I have a question.
If we plug the old wifi router into it, will it be better? We have about 5-9 devices at a time on the wifi and one desktop plugged into it.
I guess the question is, is bandwidth determined by the internet/modem or the router?
Would plugging another wifi router do any good anyways? Divvy up the networks people are on?
|
The rule of thumb is that it's determined by whichever is the weakest in the link, that forms the bottleneck or choke point
Imagine a highway that has one section with 8 lanes and another with four.
That being said I'm not at all sure on the using multiple router thing. I never got to the networking class in Cisco.
So I've checked in periodically over the last week, but haven't posted since there wasn't anything currently for me to respond to that I'm aware of. Are the rest of you just busy like me? (NaNo prep is getting pretty frenzied here as I'm trying to learn everything I can about Victorian London and alchemy all at the same time so I can put my outline together before I actually have to start writing the book.) Or are you feeling stuck? Would it help if we fast-forwarded some scenes a bit? Gloss over and sum up to get to the good bits? Totally open to that if it will help get things moving again. I miss you guys! It's lonely without all the interaction with fictional characters that don't live in my head! Please don't leave me alone with all the voices. ;P
(I'm practicing excessive use of exclamation points as it is an entirely period appropriate use of punctuation.....yeah, I didn't even have to research that. I've read enough novels written during the period to know that already. Which is absolutely totally not weird at all. Nope. Not even a little bit. The fact that I read those books because I had already read everything in the children's section and classics were the only thing the overly strict librarian would let me check out of the adult section before I was twelve....that might be a little bit weird. :P)
Can you tell I'm going a little stir crazy over here? Seriously I'm typing this while taking a break from reading articles on law enforcement in Victorian London. It's simultaneously interesting and 'holy hell can you just come to the freaking point already!' boring. Starting to rethink my choice of setting.....
Work has been kicking me in the butt.
That, and I don't really know what to post.
Yeah, both Djalos and Jacob are feeling a little stuck right now.
I was holding off because you and others are apparently busy with NaNo..

Lets see
Dave: waiting on whoever's DMing team hotguys to tell me if I am carrying a disease or not as I go through decontamination
Arthur: not waiting on anyone in particular, but I was the last person to say anything I. That scene so *shrug*
Lucas: just finished his previous scene, I guess he's waiting for a new one he can join.
Zix: waiting on students
[incert name here]: waiting on ifirmary staff to notice him, a minute or two (or in our terms days) more and he's going to be angry at being ignored
Grim and Chao:.... Uuuh I forget actually.....huh...
I have been rather busy preparing and starting my own game. Originally I was adjusting Pathfinder to Fallout Equestria, then we shifted to just using my system, and I've got a fair number of players this time around too.
As for Vickory, waiting on the principal's secretary to handle Nameless, and don't have an in game reason to abandon that task.
Rough weekend. Rough Monday. Nothing like stress followed by severe asthma attack. Woo. Sigh.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Well, today is a bit better. Less wheezing, more oxygen is a good thing. ^.^
Anyhoo, before I got derailed by surprise family visits and an annoying health crisis, I was trying to figure out what to do to get things moving again. It sounds like most people are feeling kinda stuck in the scenes they are currently in. Is this accurate?
If this is the case we can start glossing over and summing up to get to the next interesting part. If there is a scene that you want to have this done to, please feel free to speak up and we can start moving things along until we get unstuck. :)
Lyn: minor pm regarding Arthur and the empire
Answered and my apologies if it was a bit curt. I was cranky because of my breathing troubles. I promise I didn't mean it that way.
I want to find out if Dave accidently introduced some kind of supernatural disease to the school, after that I have a scene set up that I am immiedietly going to start.
Also no prob on the PM thing.
Ace is stuck, as I believe he is awaiting a reply from Ty. I'm hoping he can learn of Keme trying to lure the murderer out as I have some interesting plans to ambush him. I actually lost several hours of sleep one night thinking about ways to pull that off, lol.
I need to reply for Sil and likely Serrin, but my internet is out atm, and I would prefer to not do so via my cell.
Hey, anybody want to DM a 5E Eberron Kingmaker campaign?
Sorry, a fallout Equestria game is enough for me.
