He can just prep one the next day though?
From what I can gather he does not have that spell, he is one of those secretive people about his character. I blame myself mostly for not purchasing "life insurance" i.e resurrection scroll.

O.o

What class is he? If it's witch then I guess I get that, he just doesn't have the spell known, but if he's a divine caster... bwuh?

Create a divine PC, that upon hearing what happened to the last PC in the group resurrects or reincarnates him.

I have to do a bit of research on contingencies and other spells to ensure the survival* of my PC.

*:
Survival being relative, since perma-death doesn't really occur in our game (without good reason), but temporary death can stop a session for 3+ hours as people figure if there's anyway to bring them back.

I believe he is a bard of some sort.

No wonder he wants to keep his class hidden.

:P

** spoiler omitted **

I was running a master summoner so no contingency for me, I usually do my contingencies something like when I cast greater inviso or fire shield haste goes off on the party.

I was actually getting a little bored with him, but I will run the divine idea by my DM just to see what he says.

Aaaaaaaah. In that case yeah, the spell's just not on his list.

Either one writes well and should write original stories or one writes badly and should not blemish works of others.

Neil Gaiman has written fanfiction AND original stories, both well. Where would that place him?

I just don't get the hate on fanfiction you seem to have. Mind you, I do prefer original works myself and such.

see, this guy knows what's up.

I've somehow managed to avoid the glut of terrible fanfiction out there and the small handful of the stuff I've read has come highly recommended and been mostly very good.

And a great deal of people start out with fanfiction before they come up with an original concept of their own. It's an excellent starting point.

Let people write what they want to write. As long as they aren't breaking laws by trying to make money off someone else's stuff, and as long as it's good to read, I don't care.

It beats no writing at all.

I too, have been lucky that way.

Maybe she can watch ponies with FHDM. :)
nothing more manly than a man watching cartoons with his daughter.

I disagree.

Eating your own venison burgers, from a deer you killed, butchered, then cooked, while drinking a beer you brewed yourself, using hops you grew yourself. All while watching football or a John Wayne movie marathon.

Indeed, these are all less manly than watching cartoons with your daughter. But not as manly as having a tea party with her or letting her paint your nails.

You have very strange ideas of manliness. But with your love of the evil snow, I guess I should not be surprised.

It's all good though, I forgive you your imperfections.

killing and eating an animal and drinking controlled spoilage doesn't make one manly, it means they are a omnivore! Spending time with your beloved children and spouse will always seem more manly to me than hunting and agriculture.

I'm working on a Firefly fanfic right now.

It's called "The man with the hover hands...."

I'm too embarrassed to share it though; I'm such a crappy writer.

Eh, so you write freestyle. Your random thoughts are better reading than 99% of what's in the library.

Yes. This.

This is why I enjoy participating in your PbP games! ;)


I wish I could do freestyle writing. Sadly my brain wants to box and organize everything.

Heathy: See? I told you so.


I used to keep in-character journals for my world of warcraft characters, since I played on RP-PvP servers most of the time.

I wrote them free-form on the spot and posted them as an in-character view of the roleplaying going on as well as the in-game accomplishments of my group/guild.

They were about as freestyle as you can get, I guess, and I'm sure they would qualify as fan-fic. So count me in the terrible person category.

I like writing. (I don't claim Im any good at it, but I like it!)

Sadly, plotting is my enemy.
It involves all of that, you know, THINKING and such. ;P


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Sometimes I think I'm better at the plotting than the writing.

I can outline things in intricate detail but have problems with motivating myself to do more than little bits of writing at a time. Especially noticeable in that I'll do bits here, here, and here, but filling out the middles between is agonizing.

I have certain major scenes visible clearly in my head, but I can't manage to get from scene A to scene B because the stuff in the middle is agaodshgasdhgasdifaosd

But I have SO MANY STORIES IN MY HEAD

I think that's why I like PF/D&D so much, I can start the plot and the players will do the hard work of filling out the stuff in the middle for me.


i have very similar troubles.
When I get inspired, I can see the scene like a movie in my head.

But trying to fit it in with all the rest,... ;P


Those aren't all stories Orthos.

Some of them are just ordinary voices.

Mine told me so.

:)

But I have a soft and chewy Maple Bacon cookie, so it's all good.

On the subject of writing, I like it in short bursts, but longer works quickly become a chore...

On the subject of everything else, there are too many pages and I didn't read them.

nonsense! Fan fiction is where most purple get their start in writing, and there are some Damn good ones out there. It also serves as a community for under appreciated fare.

What about oranges?

Somehow I've crept up to 114 aliases.

I owe thanks to a certain slaad who seems to be pimping my work in other threads. :)


I think when I hit 100 I'll have a party.

Honestly so many of mine are randomly inspired, I can't predict when a new one will show up.

Silver Crusade

Then the others are PCs or NPCs I've made. Since the next campaign I'll be playing in already has the alias created, I won't be gaining another from that.


Maybe I'll run across an NPC in Kingmaker's next couple of chapters that demands their own alias. Or maybe not.


I think I've already created the ones I know I'll need, so if I need another one it'll be a bit unexpected.

I think I mostly have that one to give Ebon surprise heart attacks.

Ditto. I've been thinking of writing some Planescape fanfic myself. Can't be any worse than the actual novels they released.

Some of mine are PbP or PFS aliases. Many are one-offs that occur as a fit of whimsy, never to be used again (or rarely, when it seems appropriate).


And happy Monday FAWTL!

Hear you loud and clear, rOver.


My aliases grow organically. Plus there was the OTD Game. That accounted for about a third. One-offs, in-jokes, political statements, a whole bunch. Of course I had a year of relative unemployment in 2009. I'll never have that kind of time again


ARF!


Yeah, that was actually the year I was off work too. Think I spent most of it playing Neverwinter Nights though, rather than here.
