Elan the Bard's page

ha! we've all had the experience, haven't we, of a player being unable to resist and making a joke that will ultimatly be their last.
for instance, my bard had been cornered in a bar by this 7 foot half-orc. it was obvious i would die, but why i said "Are you coming on to me?" is beyond me.
what other idiotic things have people said?

Rich Burlew has written some great articles on his site (www.giantitp.com) about starting campaigns. Have a bit of a look there.

(PS. No, despite rumours i am not, repeat not, Rich Burlew.)

hmmm.

Anyone on this post from Australia?

Anyone know what i meant by 'Mt Buller'?

-cringe-

"Is that a +1 Mace in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" lol!

I have seen the top of the mountain! i have lived as few DMs dare to dream!

seriously. for the last week i've been on camp. pretty boring stuff out in the bush; camping, mountain biking, etc. however, one evening we were staying up at Mt Buller. we'd bumped into a couple of uni students, who, as luck would have it, played D&D. so off we went, up to the top of Buller, and played for about 2 hours, behind us the sun setting over the surrounding peaks!
it was magical!

anyone else had a similar experience?

With regard to my earlier post, my rouge once said:
"Umm, err, i can't make a sneak attack with you all looking!"
Some people...

Um, mine would definently have to be:
"YOU HAVE TO BE QUIET TO MAKE A SNEAK ATTACK!"
Which my paladin yelled at our rouge.

Yah, deck of many things rocks!

ha, funny thing is that the female paladin is being played by a guy.

some people get off on that...

ah, Eisen? i will admit we have problems, stat wise and other, but that is nooo need to start again. perhaps we can tweak them, give those needed alignment changes, inforce a more RPG atmosphere, and, instead of punishing us all, only punish those who infringe our rules. perhaps loss of exp? we'll discuss it more tommorow...

Thanks guys!

More info? umm, the party consists of a goody two-shoes female paladin with a 10-foot pole in a place it really shouldn't be, a psycho halfling rouge with a thing for skinning womens faces and using them as masks, a depressed down-on-his-luck wizard, a drug obssesed druid, and a charismatic my-god-he-cheated-on-those-stats halfling cleric.

I can't tell you the plot yet ('cos some of my players watch this site), but they're basicaly in a run down town, trying to slay these weird ogre-insect hybrids for nooo reward, and recovering a troubled young man they captured.

See my problem?

-sigh- sometimes we make mistakes. things are said that shouldn't have been. like this whole "problem player" item. i wish to formaly retract my earlier statement, and apologise profusely. we all have difficulties sometimes, and i was annoyed, tired, and wasn't concentrating. the game will lack something without your presence. i'm sorry.

My adventure is beginning to look like an episode of "Touched by Angels". What can I do to make it more exciting?

Long lost twins?

God killing weapons?

What do you think?

I completely agree, Lord Eisen. James does have deep seated mental problems which, unfortunantly, we are forced to work with. However, next time he goes psycho, he's going to be forced out off the house...
