Never seen Apocalypse Now, Romancing the Stone was fuuny stuuff! ;)

Came out last year. Normally I hate Ben Stiller, but it was funny as hell. Essentially, Stiller and his co-actors are making a Vietnam movie when Stiller is captured by real Vietnamese (or Cambodian -who's keeping track) drug smugglers, who, among other things, make him perform scenes from one of his older movies - a heartwarming Forrest Gump-style drama about a retarded man and his pony.
It is funnier than it sounds.
All the best ones are, man.
All the best ones are.
Oh,....and I think I have the setup for the meeting good to go; I just have to think about one or two things; whenever the two new guys are ready I'm ready to roll.
It might be kinda sketchy, but I think it beats "you meet in a bar."
lol! I think you guys made up more of that stuff than I did.
Here's the bare bones of Pip, the lounge lizard hobbit. I need to gear him up still, will work on that today. I did the math with the RPG Explorer program, so feel free to audit the numbers.
Good stuff! What kind of instrument does he play?

Yessss! The Leg Man! Very nice.
Patrick, what 'kind' of lounge lizard is Pip? Is he Wayne Newton, who's a smooth hack; Andy Williams, who's talented, but laid-back, or Frank Sinatra, with great chops and shady connections? While I have no problems with a halfling lounge lizard, I'm struggling more with an adventurer lounge lizard. On the other hand, a hard-driving bluesman persona a la Rory Gallagher would fit an adventurer quite well, especially in this area. Just thinkin' out loud.

I saw it on the plane last month - hit and miss, but very good in parts.

I was thinking guitar/lute, something with a long neck and strings.

I was thinking one of those hard-working amoral lounge players who drift from town to town, leaving empty pockets and unexplained pregnancies in his wake. Basically a bluesman is a better description than a lounge lizard, that makes you think of Vegas and loud clothes.

The kind that butchers the Girl from Ipanema...

Wow. That is EXACTLY what I thought of when you said 'Lounge Lizard'. Creepy. ;)
I like your description of the 'bluesman' better. Sounds like a fun guy, just don't let him know where you stash your cash! ;)
Or Bill Murray on SNL:
"Star Wars.....Nothing but.....STAAAAAR WARS.....nothing but.....STAAAAR WARS, bum-bum-bum....BUM..."
Oh, French Wolf and Patrick Curtin....
I wrote you guys an intro in the game thread; whenever you're ready to go I guess....
What's a coquette?
Cooking pot?
Musical instrument?
Weapon?
Part of Oso's body?
A "flirt."
Got Pip's gear on, just need to do a few calculations and get spells and I should be GTG.
Right on.

This must be the bestest party ever - Beldan's busy throwing up when not talking to invisible faeries and everybody else are severely hungover. Oso running around with Pip tucked under his arm was a nice touch, too.
As I mentioned earlier, I've grown rather fond of this bunch of weirdos. Keep it up, y'all.
Oh, yeah.....and Riese wanting to buy out the bondage plate mail while Gittik spastically yearns to kill his own father...
you can't buy this.
Who you call spastic?

I don't see why Reise should have to buy it, it's party loot.
I think it was all part of the delivery of the joke...;)
Delayed laughter.
"I...I....I'll do anything....just...here's all my money....please! Pleeeeease!!!"
Hmm....Crime and Punishment...
"a guy kills somebody and feels bad."
I'll give you a synopsis...;)
Can I take stabilise as a zero level spell to cast unlimited?
Yeah. That's fine.
Hey! I have internet access. I am on the 5th floor of the castle so obviously the height helps. Unfortunately, no lift. It is blowing a gale and it went dark at 4.00, but I can still play D@D!
I want to play D&D on the fifth floor of a Scottish Castle where it's dark at 4 pm!
Gone for 4-5 hours; family time...

Cool. Hope you didn't have a lot of luggage though.
When I went to Europe a few years ago, almost every place I stayed didn't have a lift (or not one you felt safe travelling in); there was a lot of lugging heavy suitcases up several flights of narrow stairs.
Yah but these days you have to tip those guys big time. And it's really hard to find a hunchback who doesn't drag your shit.

Best. Game. Evar!
Count me in! :)
It's just a spell to the left ...
Oh mighty DM. What is the rule on spells? From what I can read, bards sling spells a lot like sorcerors, but they only know a few to choose from. Are spells from the Spell Compendium kosher? I'd like to firm up what Pip knows for spells.
Yeah; that's cool....bard spells from wherever pretty much.
Freakin....taking out a CR 8 with a tasha's hideous laughter.....what a sight. ;)
