I'm kindova bad guy to ask anyway; this is the highest level playing I've done, so not much experience with prestige classes.
Meh. Maybe I'll throw out a shout on the boards. It's not like we don't have hundreds of powergamers checking this site out, right?
Yes, I'll toss my hat in the 'Enjoyed the Van Helsing' movie ring.
I'm gonna argue that it was one of the greatest ever made or anything, but it was (IMHO) a thoroughly fun romp, with just enough twists on all the old classic horror monsters to make it new-ish.
You gotta love the 'steampunk' tools of the trade though! I mean c'mon, who doesn't want a revolver/repeating crossbow, or hand-saws, or sunlight bomb?!? ;P
Sorry PAtrick, I'm not much help on the PrC end either. I like BArds for a lot of reasons, but I never end up playing one because I can never figure what to do with them at higher levels! If you find something interesting, let me know!
(LOL)
1e, bard was "the" prestige class.
The shoemaker's son has no shoes...
Ain't that the truth. Remember the requirements for an AD&D bard? Something like eight levels in fighter , six in thief to qualify?
...
Yet everyone seemed to have one. Funny how that works.

Sorry Heathy, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to start a new thread for the Saltmarsh PBP. I don't understand why that thread is a problem -- it's not always a problem, but when it is, it's significant. It's in the same table with every other thread on the boards, and none of them are showing a similar problem. I've rebuilt and reindexed the table. I'm at a loss.
When you've started the new thread, I'll lock the old one.
Thanks for understanding.
No problem, man.
The action will pick up again on "Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread."
It's been crashing all day, and uber slow ....
LOL, we created a PbP singularity!
Quick fire the engines! We must not get sucked into the Event Horizon!
<Stares into the fading glory that was the old thread>
"But,... I want to see what's over the horizon,..."
Just to honor and memorialize our little web crasher:
>>THE GREAT AND FEARSOME DM HEATHY'S SALTMARSH THREAD<<
That way when it slips into archivia we can look back and chuckle.
Over 8000 posts, you nutters. Saltmarsh and Isle of Dread, love them both so much but not sure I could keep up with you all!
:D Have fun and watch out for dimetrodons!
Meh...they're a poguish CR....;)
Now, Spinosaurus....OTOH>..
Now I have to change my RSS feeds.
I'm going to download the runeblade in pdf form from rpgnow.
He'll be done tonight.
Oh, hey Kruelly, let me know if you want to rebuild stats for the runeblade; it oughtta be okay.

Sweeeeeet...I just pulled out my Green 2e Vikings Campaign Sourcebook.
It looks all crusty and stained like something that's been sitting on a shelf since Snorri Sturlisson.
Runes in there seem pretty basic....there's an ale rune that you draw on your drinking mug, and if somebody pours poison (I guess alcohol doesn't count zoikzoikzoik) in the mug it shatters.
That kinda stuff.
Right on; some folks are still leveling and stuff, so no rush.
The original game thread is officially shut down, so we're on the Isle of Dread Thread now.
...nine...days did.....allvater...hang on worldtree...nine days....a sacrifice to himself.....*cough cough*.....gebo....kaunaz....hrrrmmm....
I'll put all the rune ideas on this guy's profile.

Obvious sign that the Apocalypse is upon us: I got a recruitment letter from the US Navy today. They offered to help me get a BA and then become an "object of awe" (seriously) serving on some ship somewhere. Nevermind that I'm not American, a veteran of the Norwegian army and almost done with my PhD. Don't these guys do any mass-mail screening?
Also, the Mad Hermit Runecaster is a great idea.

Did you tell them that you were already an object of awe?
My great grandfather came to America to avoid being drafted into the Norwegian Navy.
I also saw an ad that said "they don't make action figures of middle management guy" or some s~%* like that.
They also don't give G. I. Joe a floor buffer and a bunch of dishes to do on k.p.
Oh sweet Wodenvater aint THAT the truth. I had some angel riding my shoulder during my enlistment. I got to study Arabic for two years on the Army's dime in Monterey CA, then lost that job and got to be a journalist instead. Never spent a day in a tent, it was a sweet gig. Still did my everloving share of buffer-racing though. That and Post Police Call. Ever tried to get rid of tumbleweeds? Them fnckers got thorns! No one ever tells you that in the old Westerns. They're like mobile bramble bushes. Lost two pints of blood every time I had to crawl the chainlink picking them up (grumble grumble)

My grandfather hid in the attic to avoid WW2 - and so he could carry on drinking.
Oooo, Vatters the veteran. "War's hell, man. Pass the herring."
Obviously, I'm not that kind of veteran. Both my brother and my dad served as Blue Helmets in Lebanon, but I never got to go.
If I was some 17-year old kid, I'd seriously consider that Navy thing. But now? No way.
Thinking about 1st level ranger spell "longstrider" for a minor/least rune. Exped rtrt's 30 ft is kinda buffy.
Oh; and I just got called in to my other job on call, so I won't be around much if at all for the next 4-5 hours if that; I might check in at that time then pass out on the floor.

Agreed.
BTW, has Gary erased the old Saltmarsh thread completely? Or have I just developed selective blindness?
Edit: It's completely gone. To recap treasure (recovered thanks to Mothman's meticulous bookkeeping), we are owed (Jag Doom Fight: 4794gp and 6sp, not sold yet) + (lizard man fight, 616gp + 9 sp, not sold yet) =5411 gp and 5 silver once we get to sell our now-unspecified accumulated loot.

You know, I don't know. We've got a few threads with around that many posts and they don't seem to be a problem. I actually can't say that it's the grand total number of posts in the Saltmarsh thread that's the problem, but I'm hoping I can work around it by splitting it in two.

OK, the second 4,000 posts of the campaign thread are here now, and the original thread is not hidden anymore.

It must just be us. We're an anomaly.
Could be to do with the size of the thread plus the rate of posting maybe? The threads about a year younger than Aubrey's game, but is at 2 to 3 thousand extra posts?
Far out...
I think I'll make a mental note to keep to a max of 4,000 posts for a game thread, so as to avoid this predicament in the future.
"Know this Stig gee Mick Hammmmmerrr....the rood of the runeblade is ever fraught with peril......ever so much arcana unearthed.....have care, lest it be thy doom. Yes, doom."
IC!
Now I understand.

I don't want you to have to do that. I'm going to have to come up with something automatic. (Or, I may manually do to long threads what I did this afternoon to the Saltmarsh thread. But I think I'd prefer something that doesn't require my intervention, and definitely I don't want to make you do it!)
Right on; we'll test the next jet plane then...
Wow.
From the 'Thread of Doom' to the wacked out Runecaster,...
I LOVE this game! ;D
Thx for trying to keep us alive mr Postmonster.
Heathy, trying to get time to lvl up, hopefully tonight.
That's cool; it means I have to come up with the next bit soon, or figure it all out at least.
