LOL!
FYI, full disclosure,
I did NOT come up with that Red Shirts line on my own.
(I wish I was that clever)

THAT was one of many good lines in the inexplicably popular "Dungeon Crawler Carl" books/audiobooks/soon-to-be-live-action-TV-series.
:D

Hey hey, I have returned victoriously from another successful and truly awesome NYCC!!

I am partially caught up, but not fully. Had to work tonight, but I should hopefully be off the next two days(unless I get called in to bring the *awesome*), so plenty of time to catch up and reply!

Happy Safe return Monkeygod! :)

Just dropping in to tender my semi-monthly apologies. My life has taken a turn into the dumpster fire recently, and although I don’t want to get into specifics, it’s been a pretty rotten couple of months. I’ll try to find some time, but, honestly, I’ve said that before

Ugh, Very sorry to hear that my online amigo.

No worries. You do what you gotta do.
Prayers, best wishes & happy thoughts are being sent your way.

As Shadow said, "When things turn around, we'll be here my friend!"

You're certainly ruining my fun here by being so "suss"!

LOL

Me: Sorry(?)

Apologies if it doesnt translate well, but I'm three sheets to the wind on the start of my "Fall Break", and It was hilarious in my head! :D

Happy 'early weekend' to those who are not getting a Fall Break! :)

LOL!
OK, I am waiting for Zek's (& Zy's) reaction to THAT lil tidbit! :D

I do luv a good RP game. ;)

ROFL!
Zy showed Sterling! :D

LOL, we ARE a bunch of suspicious lil adventurers aren't we?
(well, we ARE dealing with Dopplegangers. And I hear that trust is the first casualty in Ravenloft) :P

All good, busy week for me, (week long rental) :P

Just dropping in to say:
HAPPY DOLLY PARTON DAY everyone! (9/25) :D

Hope everyone is doing OK?

And meanwhile, RL continues rolling onward.
(or, steam-rolling onward) :P

Hope everyone is doing OK?

RL continues onward. :P

Hope everyone is doing OK?

I am just pulling out what is left of my hair at work stuff.
You know, business as usual. :P

I keep forgetting that Sterling has Linguistics as a skill too. He keeps generally leaving that to Teo. :D

And yeah, it's PROBABLY a doppleganger. But WHile Sterling can be (IE= IS) a jerk sometimes. He does take his clerical duties seriously.
Reluctantly sometimes, but seriously. :P

Silly humans. So weak. So frail. So vanilla.

You left out "With the extra 1st lvl feat!" :D

Otherwise,.... yeah, your not wrong. :P

Sounds like a good ‘What If’ comic book…

=)

it DOES, doesn't it? :)

I tried so many in my day. I really liked Runequest (2nd edition for atmosphere and world, 3rd for rules).

Aftermath was great for post apocalyptical adventure, but oh so complicated. Gamma world was a much friendlier game system.

Speaking of unfriendly but way customizable : RoleMaster. Oh my, I loved that game, but combat really did take a while. And levelling up was a nights work all by itself.

I'm sure there are dozens of others I dropped my money on at one stage or another. I never played Marvel, but did enjoy V&V. Oh and Space Opera - but I only ever played a couple of sessions of that.

Drinking and Role Playing: Tunnels and Trolls. Simple and non serious "Take That You Fiend" getting points for the most memorable spell name.

That is cool.

I played WITH Marvel a bit, (VERY little bit) Seemed an overly-complicated system with the color-coded to-hit chart and all. But I know of some that played it an enjoyed it. So maybe its just because I never really got to get into it and learn the system?

Fun fact memory- One Dragon magazine had an article about Marvel. (They used to highlight other games each mag, not just D&D) And I recall reading that, since Aunt May kept getting into and out of situations without actually fighting (So I guess not using her accrued 'points'?) TECHNICALLY, according to the rules, Aunt May could one-shot Galactus.
O_o.

In my head he's played by Bill Skarsgard reprising Count Orlok, but sometimes the Count acts like an embarrassed fortune teller or a sassy gay fencer.

ROFL!

I did not know that they had re-made NOSFERATU, with Bill Skarsgard.
I have of course seen the Original. :)

It's phenomenal. Best Dracula adaptation ever made.

INteresting. Good to know you hold that opinion.

While Googling it, I discovered that the OG Nosferatu (the OLD, B&W, Silent film) was actually written in an attempt to bypass the copyright on the actual Dracula novel. They changed enough of the vampire to avoid issues. (weird ears, More rat-related, etc) Apparently the authors widow sued them anyway. And won. :P

I DO like it when actors are able to play 'different' parts, or play the same part different ways.
The most recent examples being the recent Jumanji movies. Watching named stars (Whether you like them or not) play themselves as teenagers taking control of them as video game avatars is hilarious. The second is better, when the same actor has to portray themselves as different teens in control of the avatar. :D

Recently found a fun fact, in one of the Thor movies, when Loki (Tom Hiddleston) turns into Captain America for a scene, Chris Evans was running late, so they filmed the scene a couple of times with Loki wearing the costume. When Chris showed up, he watched the playbacks, and tried to do a good imitation of Tom's performance. (I thought it was good!)

I’m a long time Pathfinder guy. I tried PF2, but didn’t really like it much. I’ve been playing D&D…every edition since the Red Box. I liked Star Frontiers too. Mechwarrior rpg too. Hero system, Champions, and of course Rifts from Palladium games.

Oh yeah!

Thx for the brain nudge! :)

(MAN I played a lot of games in my happily mis-spent youth) :P

I KNOW of GURPS, never played it.
Like DND 2, loved dnd 3 & PF1, got the PDF's of PF2, havent really looked at them yet.

PLayed what else?
Oh yeah lots of Champions & other HERO system games, The sci-fi version of DnD "Gamma World", Top Secret (ALSO made by TSR) which was a james bond spy game, yeah lots of other odds and ends, but RPGs mostly those/.

Interesting,
I've only played ONE session of a game in those systems, we used all of the books available (Mummy, werewolf, etc) except the Vamps, in the game we played it was decided that the vamps are the bad guys. ;P

Honestly the session ended way too early, (I think work conflicts came up?) so I do NOT remember the dice pools/combat system at all.

Still, I like learning new systems. (Or at least learning ABOUT them?) :)

And adaptability is key, look at FATE and their Harry Dresden Files game.

I think it's funny. :)

Sterling? Well,... opinions may vary. ;P

I can turn it off and on at will as long as I’m awake. He’s fine! =)

Pretty sure Cole's been awake every time Sterling has touched him, and taken 2pts of fire damage.

Which means either Cole hates Sterling and wants him to suffer, Cole is a sicko and likes hurting his friends, or Cole has suddenly just remembered he could turn it off and on at will....

Regardless, poor Sterling has been burned by an ability that can be turned off! LOLOL

I'm sure it's ONE of those things., Maybe all of them (Just not all at once?) :P

It actually fits with how their relationship has turned out. So far. :)

No worries.
My wife caught a cold apparently.
(Teacher, start of new school year, younger kids) ;P
ANd of course, she shared it with me.
Yeah, not too bad, 'Just' a cold.
But I dont FEEL like doing squat. No matter how much I actually NEED to do! :(

At least your not bored? :D

Hope everything is going well!

I live in south Lousy-Anna.
My summer was hot.
H. O. T.
And still is. :P

The recent storms are actually bringing a nice breeze.
It's bearable. For now. :D

Got to this later than expected, updates and decisions tomorrow...

All good!

Just doing my best to keep up at this point. :P

That my friend is a compliment I appreciate more than you could ever realize.

=)

ROFLMAO!!!

Luv Eet All! :D

OK, now I can't find where the map is hiding! :P

Top of the page.

Oh. THERE it is! <facepalm>

Well,... THAT was fun!
But time for Sterling to go back into 'Goth/Stoic' mode for a bit. :P
:D

Still feeling out his 'voice', but realized that his mood swings are perfectly in line with what I'm thinking, his background, and my influences for the part.

SO far he's One part Goth, One part Wednesday Addams, One part Ghostbuster,...

I can't wait to see what comes next! ;P

Once the new people leave, Cole slaps his face with his open hand and waves his sword in the general direction they traveled.

”Oh gods…That idiot thinks this was the smart thing to done !”

No. No he did not. ;P

:D

Teofila is shocked that Sterling volunteers. She never imagined she would see him volunteer for anything.

That makes you and him both! :D

Sadly, Sterling agrees with you! :D

Besides, it IS kind of in his job description. :P

Casting thread resurrection now!

Auto-crit success?

"IT'S ALIIIIVE!!!"

Ugh, get better quick(er) Shadow!

Sorry to hear your under the weather Shadow.
Hope you recover quickly, and catch up on your work quicker!

Eesh, I am too old for that working overnight nonsense anymore.

I never got paid enough for that anyway.
(I DID it, but I wasnt paid enough) :P

Just glanced at Blayze's Character sheet, I think she may get more bonuses than her basic listed? (I already adjusted for her level to make that correct)

She has other bonuses & abilities I'll have to research. For next time. ;)

Annnnnnd,... ACTION! :D

(and welcome back, you busy-beaver you!) ;)

Warm water at the beach? Sounds great to me!
Glad it was restful. (Not enough of that in my life recently!) :P

NOW, YES! Let's carve some monsters into Chicken Nuggies!

(Anime-"Delicious in Dungeon" anyone?!?) :D

Apologies for any slow posting or sudden silences,

(Weird, Aged wizzie NOT talking or typing?!? What apocalypse is this?!?!?)
:P

RL is being, ... a PITA.
(AKA= Business as usual I guess.)

Thank you, that is all. :)

Apologies for slow posting,

Just spent the last 3 days traveling back and forth to New Orleans (A 4 hour round trip) to empty and clean my Father-in-Laws' house.

I'm tired. AND still catching up on work and bills and,...

yeah. Sorry for slow posting. :P

Thanks man…but take 1 pt of fire damage touching me. You gotta stop doing that.

You are correct sir!

Good luck! And swift recovery!

And I second Sergei/Doomed Hero's comment.
Milk the recovery for all it's worth! (You deserve it!) :)

Hmm,...
Either way,...
O_o

;P

Cole…well? A~#+!#~ acknowledges a+&#~*#…

ROFLMAO!

It's funny because it's true! :)

If Teofila is being mean to you it means she likes you well enough.

And Sterling knows it. And it is reciprocated.

Although he'd likely never admit it. Not too loudly anyway.
