ALL IS WELL, and here I am typing to you folks beacuse the FBI is scouring the crime scene and I can't leave.

I am happy I was able to share that moment with my brother, can't wait for you to move to Houston.

My younger brother, whom Tordek and Wolfthulhu both know and game with, is very excited. He wants me down in time to start the Shatter Star Adventure Path.

He also seems determined to have me run him through Kingmaker. Even if he's the only one to play.

You must run kingnaker, we can find more players. As far as your character concept for here in Houston do you need me to come up with one or two you can steal or will yuou just replay the current concept you stole from me.

I am very happy you are coming to Houston, it has been about 13 years since we lived together so we have much lost fun to make up for.

Thats right folks he stole my boxset, then he moved from New Orleans to Philly so that I could not see it on his book shelf. Little did he think that on a random drive to Canada one long weekend I would stop in at his place for some shuteye, and a break from the road, and find my boxset which he had lied about having.

Now he steals my character

Liberty's Edge

With all those other cool things they do, they don't game? Their wives must tell them not to. So sad how that comes into play. Very well, cast them from my presence and continue telling me Zombie stories.

OK two more for today:

While it is well known that Zombies move slowly, the Aberzombie is a fast runner, He ran cross country on a State Championship team. No out running this Zombie (Hey Paizo feel free to use this in the bestiary 3)

Zombie’s life was once saved by two dogs, while going out one night from our old New Orleans Home, Zombie was asked to walk the dogs. He opened the door and the dogs bolted from him towards the car he would have been getting into. A person jumped from the car and fired 3-4 shots at the dogs and the zombie, Items hit were Mom’s car the brand new garage door dad had finished installing 7 days before, and the gound. What did the Zombie do you ask he just turned sideways. Aberzombie rewarded the dogs with fresh bones.

No No, 5 of us in all, the other 3 are really weird out there people who don't game at all, they do very strange hobbies like raise goats, Scuba Dive, Hunt, Fish, and their favorite game, do whatever their wives tell them to do.

Oh man, thank god I didn't have a climactic battle with him at the end of Fawtl 1 and knock him off a roof, thinking him dead even though they never found a body, cuz you are showing up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too late for the "avenging your brother" sequel.

Waitaminute, this is Fawtl 6. Shouldn't we be looking for space whales or something? Or maybe you did show up at the right time because God is going to want to threadjack or something and you'll feel his pain and grapple with him thus saving Fawtl?

As Aberzombie's brother, and the keeper of many truths and facts about him, I am only allowed to post here sometimes. If I post too much I may reveal things like:

I have seen him blessed by a priest

I have seen him attack from under a sofa bed, biting the leg of the unsuspecting person who had been sleeping in the bed. (The origin of the Aberzombie)

Never let him near YOUR half of the gaming books before he moves half way across the US, he will never admit to having your Waterdeep box set until you pop to catch some sleep part way into you weekend trip from New Orleans to Canada and your find it on his shelf.

So, are you going to help me sell my house in the godsawful market? Or find a job that will pay for me to move? And a job that would pay for my wife to move as well?

Besides, I'm with the federal government. Why would I want to work for a living.

I have jobs for you and the wife (or could at least find you one), you can dump that house if you try has the value not gone up just from it being yours, think of the money you will save each year in: Flights to N.O. to see family, State Income Taxes, Daycare (really my wife does a fine job with them until school age), cost of homes in general, driving to another state to buy good beer, heating bill (ok maybe this one is off as my AC bill gets high in the summer).

Also the perks of playing PF with Rob, Tom and I, Having my kids there to influence yours, living in Texas, NO SNOW, babysitters, and well just seeing me more than once every 12 months or so

** played in two PFS games and registered (with his wife!) to play in three PFS sessions at OwlCon in two weeks. (His first game convention.)
* killed three rogues, a ranger, a cleric, a paladin, and a djinni and hopes to kill a certain fighter in 2011 ;)

All after just beginning to play DnD in the summer of 2009 well after I turned 40. I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks.

I've always been partial to Irish names myself, hence my kids are Kellen, Arden, and Donovan Riley. Not sure how it go with your surname though.

I've noticed, and I think they go well with your last name. They sing.

As for my last name, not sure. My father is Charles, so is my oldest brother (although he goes by his middle name of Patrick). Brother #2 is Christopher, #3 is Steven, I'm #4, and my younger brother is George. I've also got 3 nephews: William, Ethan, and Alex.

Some of the names on our short list: Michael, James, John, David (my middle name), Charles, Henry (only for a possible middle name), Robert.

And we can't do Edward - my younger brother called dibs on that one in the event he ever has another son.

If you ask Jen she may give you Edward. From the way the kids were acting today I would say she has joined me in deciding no more kids.

Incidently, we are apparently driving the many of the older women folk crazy back in New Orleans with our lack of a decision (or deliberate secrecy as some think) regarding the child's name.

In my years of playing, I have had several good DM's and one Great one. What made him great did so in any system he ran.

Preparation: He knew the game he was running; he knew the encounters, the Monsters, the NPC’s, the PC’s, and the story line.

Fluid and fast thinking: I put these together because one allowed the other for him. If something came up unexpected we could never tell that he didn’t know it was going to happen. He was so fast on his game that even when he was reacting to crazy things we did, it was like he had the shift planned. He had no issue shifting the focus of a whole night (or several) if the PC’s took it somewhere.

PC Involvement: Every move in the game had something to do with the PC’s. Your PC background was more than fluff, items you wrote for flair at level one would appear at level 10 as part of the game.

Love of the game: He loved running games, loved creating the excitement for the players.

Over my first 15 years of gaming I was luck enough to play off and on with this DM. We now live across the US from each other, but those games will always top my list.
