We'll keep going then. I'll just work out what I want to do behind the scenes.

I'll let you finish up the day before I chime in again.


Anyone interested in me running Heroes Unlimited here on Paizo on the side? It's the Palladium system.


Female Dwarf WarPriestess/2 HP 18/18; Init: +1; AC: 18, T: 12, FF: 16; Fort: +5, Ref: +1, Will: +6 (+2 vs poison, spells and spell-like abilities); Perception: +5 (+7 vs unusual stonework)

It's been a really really really long time since I've played anything from that system, but I'd be willing to give it a shot as long as everyone is okay with it.

Henry went ahead and bought the books online because they were on sale and part of the proceeds were going to help The National Center for Missing and Exploited children, so it goes to help a good cause.

The last time I played in a game using the Palladium system was a Robotech game in my early to mid 20's.

I'm not familiar with either but I can learn.


It's a bit on the crunchy side, but that's part of the charm. It's not as bad as GURPS.

Unfortunately, there aren't any easy guides or character generators for the system.

I'd give it a shot.


I'll get links to books up this weekend. I have been just so drained lately.

I got to actually interview an applicant for a position at the bank today. Guess I'm moving on up in the world.


Heroes Unlimited Stuff

Here is there core rulebook and the 3 powers books (because Palladium loves supplements). I do know that the system is open to crazy abuse, so do with it what you will :)

I don't think I'm that imaginative. The only way I can make a broken hero is if someone else does it for me. LOL

The warning reminds me of this


Palladium was at its peak in the 80's, so was Satanic Panic...They kept that warning through the 90's, but I think they dropped it from their newer lines.

We're not gonna be able to do much here until later. Henry's mom called and asked us to take her to the emergency room.

Hope it's nothing too serious


Diverticulitis. So nothing too bad.


Female Dwarf WarPriestess/2 HP 18/18; Init: +1; AC: 18, T: 12, FF: 16; Fort: +5, Ref: +1, Will: +6 (+2 vs poison, spells and spell-like abilities); Perception: +5 (+7 vs unusual stonework)

Yeah, she just has to get over her hard headedness, and eat and take her medicine like she's supposed to, and stop self medicating.

We're so tired, but our babies have been locked up all day, so we're trying to give them some time before putting them back up for the night.

Hey Bubba, just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. I hope you're starting to feel better.

My lower back is doing that weird thing where it like pulses with pain for a while before lightning up and leaving me feeling sore and weakened. I am getting damned sick and tired of this body, and what it's doing to me.


Female NG Half-elf Druid (Mooncaller) 2 | HP 18/18 | AC 14 T 12 FF 12 | CMB +1, CMD 13 | F: +5, R: +2, W: +6 | Init: +2 | Perc: +8 | Speed 30ft | Enlarge 6/day (Used: 2) |

Sorry. Do you have any muscle relaxers?


Female Dwarf WarPriestess/2 HP 18/18; Init: +1; AC: 18, T: 12, FF: 16; Fort: +5, Ref: +1, Will: +6 (+2 vs poison, spells and spell-like abilities); Perception: +5 (+7 vs unusual stonework)

I had already taken all my medicine for the night, which includes nerve pain meds and muscle relaxers. I didn't even get to sleep till after 6.

Might be slightly out of pocket this weekend. Have to work tomorrow for a few hours tomorrow, and then after I get home I'm making a casserole to take over to Ashley's so they don't have think about cooking this weekend.


Female NG Half-elf Druid (Mooncaller) 2 | HP 18/18 | AC 14 T 12 FF 12 | CMB +1, CMD 13 | F: +5, R: +2, W: +6 | Init: +2 | Perc: +8 | Speed 30ft | Enlarge 6/day (Used: 2) |

Kelda: +2 str goes to str 16 Heavy load 154–230 lbs
Lysithia: +2 goest to str 12 Heavy load 87–130 lbs.

" A larger bipedal creature can carry more weight depending on its size category, as follows: Large ×2,"

So Kelda max load 460
Lysithia max load 260

"A character can generally push or drag along the ground as much as five times his maximum load. "

So Kelda can drag 2,300lbs
Lysithia 1,300lbs

Combined 3,600lbs

I don't know if we should intervene yet. I don't want to risk them killing the innocents.

Do hobgoblins have managers?


Are you wanting to speak to one?


Female NG Half-elf Druid (Mooncaller) 2 | HP 18/18 | AC 14 T 12 FF 12 | CMB +1, CMD 13 | F: +5, R: +2, W: +6 | Init: +2 | Perc: +8 | Speed 30ft | Enlarge 6/day (Used: 2) |

Lmao

*Imagining what Astoria might say* "You guys are so rude!! I can't believe you stole my sheep! I want to speak to your manager right now!" Lol

So. I'm thinking we have Evert stay back in case we need cover fire, I approach acting like we've been looking for her, I'll call out to Lysi and let her know, "I found her". Then Lysi will approach from a different direction, somewhere in the ensuing chaos, we kill the hobgoblins, and release the prisoners, or we try to talk/intimidate them into letting them go.

What do you guys think?


Female Dwarf WarPriestess/2 HP 18/18; Init: +1; AC: 18, T: 12, FF: 16; Fort: +5, Ref: +1, Will: +6 (+2 vs poison, spells and spell-like abilities); Perception: +5 (+7 vs unusual stonework)

So much for that plan. The dice in this game really do not like us. Lol

I think these hobs are gonna send us to Jesus.

LMAO

Everything has been trying to send us to Jesus. We have not been able to catch a single break this entire game.

I mean still being level one means we're fragile as hell.


Female Dwarf WarPriestess/2 HP 18/18; Init: +1; AC: 18, T: 12, FF: 16; Fort: +5, Ref: +1, Will: +6 (+2 vs poison, spells and spell-like abilities); Perception: +5 (+7 vs unusual stonework)

Yeah, shouldn't we be beating up rats or something? 4 hobgoblins is a little much for us at lvl 1, even with all 4 of us standing. I could heal Lysi some, but the dice have not been kind to us.

On the other hand, what's to stop the bastards from killing the rest of the hostages, as well as Astoria if we do surrender? I just feel like we're in a lose lose kind of situation, and it's making me feel very frustrated.


Well, hobgoblins are Lawful Evil, so they aren't going to kill you if you surrender. Also, remember that they haven't seen Evert.


Female Dwarf WarPriestess/2 HP 18/18; Init: +1; AC: 18, T: 12, FF: 16; Fort: +5, Ref: +1, Will: +6 (+2 vs poison, spells and spell-like abilities); Perception: +5 (+7 vs unusual stonework)

I'm not sure that makes my decision any easier.

I'll have to deal with this later. I fell off the bed downstairs while trying to get Conan out from under it, and landed pretty hard on my arm and back. So, I'm hurting too much to think clearly right now.

Not to bad, tonsil still acting up from time to time. Trying to clean up and organize my apartment. Getting distracted with Warhammer Darktide.


I'll post some time this weekend. Things have been hectic lately.

Hopefully Henry's mom is able to stay out of the ER this weekend so we can actually sorta relax and get stuff done around the house. We don't have any of the Christmas stuff up, and I haven't even gotten started on my holiday cards yet. It's hard to do anything during with the week right now because I keep having these really awful headaches and I'm just so tired after I get home from work. Work for the both of us has been really draining, and last Friday was so bad that I made Henry take us out to Purple cow so I could have a grown up drink. I didn't even really taste the alcohol through all the ice cream and yummy apple pie pieces in it. It was sooooo good.

Take it easy. This time of year tends to be stressful to begin with, and you've both got a whole lot going on.

Yeah, the yucky weather has brought higher pain levels with it too.

I just wanted to let you both know that I'm gonna be late mailing out holiday cards this year. These past couple of months have been crazy between work, being sick, my hospitalization, all the times taking his mom to urgent cares and emergency rooms....not to mention that we seem to get tired out a lot quicker now than we did before, I've gotten really far behind in my card writing and other holiday activities.

I'm just worn out. So,I haven't forgotten about you, I've just been exhausted. I promise that you'll get them before February.

Completely understandable. It's been pretty crazy for everyone. Hell I haven't even thought of anything to get mu parents yet. (sigh)
