Yes there was a quiz. Happily it was much easier than last year. I knew 2 answers!
Oh, I did manage to earn 2 extra points for my team by tailoring a few things to Lisa.
This year's ducks must have the advanced template. Someone kill them and put them in a row already!Can we make them Zombies after that? Fast moving evil ducks that want to eat our brains? I believe the template is called 'Muscovy'.
I only got 1 PC kill (who was then later resurrected through a plot twist, go figure), and I was still okay with the outcome. And that's saying something. :-)Was that the person I accidentally killed with the Rod of Wonder effect that came up fireball? I'm glad she came back—I felt bad. I was just hoping she'd, you know, turn a funny color or something. I was really happy to be brought back, but the lightning bolt was totally my own fault. When you did the Wonder-card, Greg had the cleric roll for the result. When he read it he said 'Oh, that's lame, do it again'. He ended up repeating that 2 more times and the crowd was yelling for a charging rhino and various other chaotic things. I got really caught up in the moment and started calling for the rhino too. On like the fourth roll he said "All right, Lem's covered in faerie fire." And I said "That's still lame." As Greg turned to look at me I had a half second to think "Wait a minute that's MY character. What the heck am I saying!?!" And that was when the 4d8 lightning bolt hit me. So the lightning bolt was TOTALLY my fault. 100% deserved. Even the failed save and resulting death did not diminish my pleasure in the game. Greg managed to take the cards - which he hadn't even seen before the game - and make them into a fun tool. He kept a completely insane game moving forward and made it fun for everybody. Honestly, it was one of the best games I've ever played in. I can't wait to do it again!!
I just want to know when we'll see Grandmaster Torch's stat block, since everyone in my area wants him dead. It's very frustrating to swing at an armor class of [absent]. How hard should it be to kill a naked guy in a hot tub? It is surprizingly difficult to kill a creepy, naked man in a hot tub. I'd assume that any naked guy would be using total defense (+4 bonus). While 'invisible' is a +2 AC bonus, 'showing WAY too much' is at least a +8, with an additional -4 attack roll modifier for all touch attacks.
Marc Radkle? Yeah...that sucks. =-)I feel your pain - I can't tell you how many times someone has spelled my name with a K! Yep, I feel the pain too. Try having a unusually spelled first name (Tera) combined with a hyphenated last name (Griffin-Wade). I assume that the endless possibilities for confusion is the reason I'm never asked for my autograph :) But maybe you can get your book signed "Erik Mona at Piazokon 2010"
But then we'd match! :(Except for you. You can only wear something figure skater Johnny Weir would wear.This is a dress how you want event. :-)Got it - thanks Josh! There is! Lady Gaga has the Dali-esque telephone headgear. Weir obviously isn't carrying a phone anywhere.

The way we play, Twister is far more dangerous than an interstate paintball tournament.
I'm in West Central FL (St Pete/Clearwater area) and we have gorgeous beaches! If you do go to North FL though, I'd recommend St Augustine as well. The beaches aren't quite as beautiful as ours, but there are so many historical things there that I think its a great place to go. Great food too!
We're not going with the group, but we will be sightseeing on Thursday. We absolutely have to hit the scifi museum. I'd love to have a way to keep in contact with the group in case we end up there at the same time. Or will it be obvious - will you all be wearing Golem masks? Maybe use one as a tour guide flag?
Jello is evil, but it never chops. Jello only shoots :) Andoran is the one that occasionally changes pronounciation at our table. The way it's said seems to depend on how big a Star Wars fan the person saying it is.
I thought I would start a thread to figure out what characters people are wanting to play and what the build rules are. Both my wife and I are playing and my wife is looking at playing an Inquisitor. I was looking at an Alchemist but really I am open to anything. Excellent plan! I can't figure out how to find the event details again, so I'm not 100% certain what level we're playing. The only class I'm not open to is a wizard, but I haven't really thought yet about what I want to play. I don't know what class my husband is interested in. Hmm...I wonder if this is an all spouses game :)
I'd like to know about getting from the hotel to downtown (the space needle) without a car. Should we take the hotel van to a central hub somewhere?
In our family, we start bringing the kids when they hit middle school age. My rule is they have to be old enough to leave a major booth at GenCon, walk to the bathroom and come back without assistance. By the time, they've played enough games at home with us that they know how to behave at a table, and will enjoy playing enough that the Con is good for all of us. I'm really looking forward to our youngest being old enough to join us at all the Cons.
Genius. Pure genius. Bupo would be proud... That sounds like SOOooo much fun to play! Unfortunately, the certainty that I would participate in exactly this type of activity is why my husband/DM has banned me from playing bards. He couldn't take it every week.
In a D20 campaign mine has to be Guftre the Kender Barbarian. She was fun and aggressive - like a very cheerful roller derby queen with a skull-laden topknot. Guftre mapped everywhere we went, but couldn't write so it was just a sheet full of x's. In a one shot game The Great Gonzo in Muppets vs Toy Story. He bounced off the bed, went 3 times around on the ceiling fan to gain speed and then flew across the room, goring Woody with his nose. Good times... For a pregen taken to weird places, the NASCRAG kobold dancing girl twin Taras at GenCon have been unbelievably strange and fun. My partner and I did show tunes (No, we aren't wearing underwear today) and then gave up our sense of fun to save a goddess. That turned us into angry British Goth chicks whose lives are just an empty hole. Just one...big...black...empty...hole. We can't wait to finish out that storyline this year!
2 first time attendee questions: What is the music jam? Is there anywhere the late arrivers are planning on meeting for a drink? Like my DH said, he's allergic to seafood and we can't even walk into the restaurant. I'm hoping that late arrivals tend to go somplace for a drink/late meal so we can still get the chance to meet up with people.
I start work at 6:50am, and I can definitively say that while some may have Folger's Cauliflower, most people don't have brains in the morning. |
