Sorry my weekend activity isn't exactly the best with me baking, doing orna dungeon runs etc ><
GM Mort |
Also the following weekend - Jan 24,25 and 26 is Chinese New Year, I'll be out visiting his relatives so probably no posts from me on those days.
I've been trying to swing on monkey bars, while skipping bars. First right hand, OK, first left hand, OK. Second right hand, OK, second left hand, flop =(
Lost grip =(
If I were content to do it normally I could just do hand over hand there, turn on the bars, go the other way round.

Happy New Year! Saying early if I forget. That weekend is the next lego robotics competition so I'll be busy and tired as well.
OUCH! I am rather heavy, so swinging on monkey bars would probably hurt both me and the bars, and everyone around the bars or standing on the ground when I go thud.

Monkey bars? In the year of the rat?
Wait… is Hanako a rat like me? She even speaks Aklo, so she’s a better rat than I am.
We celebrate CNY here, too. Not quite the same as when I lived in Hong Kong, or the year I taught in Kunming (for a week, but during CNY 2006).
Kilarra Dimir |
My family "sort of" celebrates CNY. We're just white people who like food. We'll go to one of the restaurants in China town in the morning and eat until we burst.

I haven't tried 5th edition yet.
For some reason I have been wanting to play 4th ed again though...
Kilarra Dimir |
I've played and run a decent amount of 5e. I'm not sure if it'd be your thing, Garrosh. There's much less customization than pathfinder, so you may feel a little pigeon-holed.
Piotr Tataru |
I think we are holding on your Garrosh to see if you want to do something other than kill the birds. Piotr is all in on killing the birds though would prefer to let you and Hanako do the deed.
華子: Hanako |
Same here.
I’m not shooting again because (a) I assume this is combat rounds and (b) I want to make sure we’re all in agreement before I keep shooting.
Garrosh Saurfang |
Hmmmm, the post confirming they were stuffed animals came in at almost midnight my time on Thursday, so you are waiting on me for one day, and a weekend day at that.
Posted!
Piotr Tataru |
Ah, the multiple time zones do add a bit of confusion :) I know me and Killara share the same one, despite being in different countries. Hanako, which one are you in? You might have said already and I'm blanking since I'm still working on coffee.
Garrosh Saurfang |
Hehe, well I finished lunch some time ago :P
華子: Hanako |

I think I mentioned that I used to live in Asia. Hong Kong, specifically, though that was years decades ago. (’05-’08)
Piotr Tataru |
Yes! I remember now which would explain my befuddlement on the subject.
Piotr Tataru |
Crap... none of us have spellcraft.
Kilarra Dimir |
Hanako can deal with that next level. Should be fine
華子: Hanako |
I’m one of those players who just likes to take a handful of skills and max ’em.
Fortunately, I plan to re-train Bluff out at Lv.6+ (whenever we have 5 days of downtime), since Versatile Performance will get me both Bluff and Diplomacy.
So I had a different skill in mind for Lv.4, but if Spellcraft is what you need, that’s fine. Whatever skill I take at Lv.4 will get all my Bluff ranks when I retrain at Lv.6+.
TL;DR => I’m fine getting Spellcraft, if that will be helpful.
Piotr Tataru |
I don't mind dropping points in it either, maybe saying it is Ann's knowledge, instead of Piotr's.
How was D&D this weekend Mort?
Piotr Tataru |
Oh meant to ask, is that a window in the room to the south or a door.
GM Mort |
There's a window near by where you can overlook a door.
It's sort of weird being a bard when all you've played are archer clerics.
I tried to feed the frogemoth because it looked kinda cute... Lol.
And it gets even weirder when your character when polymorphed into a T rex starts yowling. Got quite some cat in me lol.
But my current 5e character.. I'm not used to being a bard since this character is clearly not capable of dps and I've not done control on 5e. Though I'm happy to faerie fire some.
Piotr Tataru |
But you get to sing about EVERYTHING all the time! Who needs dps when you have that. :)
LOL! That is awesome. And it is good to try out new things once in a while. Board games for me this weekend so no great stories.
Garrosh Saurfang |
I always found PF Bards to strike a sweet spot for me - a nice balance between dps and Support. So 5e Bards are all about the support then?

Really depends on your college. A lore bard is more support, with some flexibility since they get some spells from any class list. Valor bard is weapon focused, either range or melee. I don't know much about the other colleges, but I think there's an enchant/illusion one, and I forget exactly what the college of swords does. Is it literally just a bunch of sword stuff? I don't remember.
Piotr Tataru |
Mok, Piotr now has to stab Hanako, accidentally. They have been punning at me on discord. :)
I am kidding. Partially.
So we need knowledge nature as well. Okay. Next level we need to plan a bit.
Hope the day got better!
華子: Hanako |
For the record, I’m not actually reading too much into the tickle. I’m sure it’s something that causes a hindering effect like sleep or hideous laughter. (I considered casting Hideous Laughter, but think I should save spells for CLW.)
GM Mort |
This just got so wrong...maybe the creature should have studied more about tiefling anatomy to give a proper tickle ;) But it's a little hard when your prospective target is wrapped up like a metal can...

Happy New Year! Saying early if I forget. That weekend is the next lego robotics competition so I'll be busy and tired as well.

Actually bar swinging is a lot about grip strength. If you can lift a lot of weight in the gym it doesn't mean you'll be good at monkey bars. That being said, if you can do pull ups, that's helpful for monkey bars. Falling off the bars is part of usual business. Happens, just brush off and try again. And its the same theory where you shouldn't stand next to a rock climbing wall with a climber on it. You never know when that fella out there might fall off. Some descents are less then graceful.
Piotr Tataru |
That would be me, the less than graceful part. I remember them from grade school, and I remember my last attempt at a pull up which was in middle school, so... yeah, nope.
Lego Robotics! I spent two hours with my team today having them practice for the competition Saturday. I believe they will do very well.
Garrosh Saurfang |
Once upon a time I could do a decent amount of pull ups. Once upon a time...
Piotr, what kind of robot stuff is your team up to? Like, what are the robots supposed to do? :D
Piotr Tataru |
First Lege League is their competition. A set of challenges they program and design the robot for. Two and a half minutes to move a series of blocks all over the place, knock this lever, this elevator, that other thing, and operate a crane, oh and go up a big ramp. At least those at the challenges they choose to go after.
Plus present a project, verbally defend their design, and do a teamwork exercise... tomorrow will be a long day :) but a fun one.
Piotr Tataru |
Yes HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
GM Mort |
Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Busy celebrating and making a pig of myself so no posts!
Garrosh Saurfang |
Happy Chinese New Year!!
Wait Mort, it is the year of the Rat, not the Pig :P
Kilarra Dimir |
I don't really have anyone to Rat on.
And Rat probably doesn't taste good
Probably
Happy New Year
GM Mort |
I think Rat would taste like rabbit...if you got the field rats. In which me, with eat anything feat would be willing to try. Anyway I gained 5 lbs over Chinese New Year with all that pigging and failed to pull up today (probably because I am a fat @ss), and have 20k to run this Sunday. Wow. Hauling my sorry bum around is going to be...interesting ^^
Surprisingly no issues with monkey bars, I swung hand over hand, turned, went the other way without falling off.
Piotr Tataru |
Good work! The monkey bars thing. I have managed to lose 3 pounds, but I'd imagine I have a long way to way in comparison to you, Mort :)
Do what you can and HAVE FUN!
GM Mort |
That's normal for me. What I'd like to do is to monkey bar one way, turn, go the other way, turn and another way.
Or do one way, while skipping every alternate bar.
GM Mort |
Yeah I know my lunar new year activity has been sh*tty but I had some relatives and his friends to visit(I sat there playing fortune Street and bomber an), as well as a hostile takeover of Sentosa in Orna! Most of Sentosa now belongs to me and my hubbie =)
