Is Google+ worth it?
Well I'm on it, so it's worth a me, which equals the value of one small bite of fresh cherry pie. So there's that at least.
Rone Barton on Google+. Come taste the flavor!

*YAWN*
Too early in the morning on a Sunday to be up
*blink*
Good morning FAWTLies! I'm having loads of fun at work today <insert sarcasm here>. I hope you all have a better day than I.
Morning to you and everyone else.

I tried to sign up, but its in ltd. trials and it said I'm so awesome it might overwhelm their ass.
Just sent in an e-mail requesting a Google+ invite!!!!
Good luck; I'm reading it's an "online velvet rope" like Studio 54.
I can send invitations out if anyone needs one.
I give up. My new PC got taken to negatives twice today. I nominate Jess as a Killer GM. Maybe I am just to old to play this game.

Hnn. I'm having trouble myself. It's forcing me to sign in with my gmail account, which I only use for professional stuff. Here's hoping it stops acting weird.

I keep seeing the bump for the new show "The New Girl" and it keeps making me think of Jess.
On guard duty during second watch. Two dragon types got within 30 feet before I saw them and I went in to try protecting party. What a lousy way to die when I had just found a decent group. The Leader was a Half-orc and they had a Half-orc Paladin. So I could feel somewhat welcomed being a Half-orc myself.

It sounds like one of those situations where it all comes down to good or bad dice rolls. If the party is big enough, keeping watch in pairs might be the way forward.
One of my evil GM tricks is to have the lone night watch-person snuck up on and taken out before he / she has the chance to alert the rest of the party.
Problem is there were two of us on watch on opposite sides of the camp. Oh, and low initiative rolls. The Dragons went first. It was the spiny dragons in a random encounter.

Noted :-)..... Double watches and lots of twine and bells.

How big a camp do you guys have? ;)
We always have two people on watch but it has never been assumed they each have their own area to watch. We always assume to have each person watching all sides with something as small as our camp, overlap.
Back home from our Holliday in Surfers Paradise and Brisbane.... I love Brissy, it would be my ideal city except in summer you melt or die of the humidity. They have recovered very well from the flooding. Only the dinosaur section of the Museam of Queensland was shut for repairs.

Good that things are recovering there. What about ferry terminals and boardwalks along the river?

Likewise. Unless someone says they climb a tree or something, I generally assume the watchers move about on their watch.

Yup, but with that, good night to all.

The floating boardwalk is gone it looks like they just started to fix/replace that. They just started full ferry services at the end of June.
Southbank was up and running with markets and festivals the little beach was open. We were at the Powerhouse theatre and there is sculpture that has the word flood cut as if it was half under water (it was created to commemorate the 1973 floods) Mum said that they had photos of the latest flood and the sculpture sticking up out of the water with the flood waters at the same level as 1973.

I had the watchers roll perception against the monsters' lowest stealth roll. the amount they beat the monsters' lowest stealth roll by is the distance the monsters are from the party when the party notices them, x10. Only 30 feet = ouchie. Monsters roll a natural 20 on initiative. Double ouchie.
(I let the watchers place themselves where they wanted on the map. Monsters were 30' from Silverhair's character.)
Honestly it was one of the toughest random encounters available + bad dice rolls in combination that took him down. Poisoning area effect attacks suck for the party too.
It's kinda ironic. I get mocked for being too nice a DM on the forum, then I start killing PCs and companions left and right. O.o
I think I'm pretty nice, 'cept this HoH has been a grind so far; I think I overdid the last encounter with Wod's gnomepuppet. It's hard to gauge with 8 players though; it seems to either end up a meatgrinder or a cake walk.

Also, they seem to have memory issues from session to session. They can't remember the name of the villain, why we're trying to beat them, and what we've already talked about 20 minutes ago... and have explained 20 times already.
Sigh...

Save or suck saving throws are always tricky too – in that last encounter you had the two party members who were arguably best geared towards hurting undead fail the saving throw at the start of round 1 and lie down for the whole battle – it probably would have been a far different fight otherwise.
And in that first battle I think you rolled two crits for the bad guys in the first round or two.

Mrgh.
Howdy fellow Fawtlys. Gonna be in training all this week. Huzzah!
And that's not a sarcastic huzzah either. The training is in ASME B31.1 Power Piping. A class I've been wanting to get in on for a year or so now.
Again I say, Huzzah!!
Later folks. And remember:
You can pick your friends. And your friends can pick your brains. But a zombie can pick both your brains.
An ounce of prevention and whatnot.Well they say only so much humping a man can stand.
LIAR!
*humps Crimson Jester*

I heard it differently.
You can pick your friends. You can pick your nose. But you can't pick your friend's nose.
Unless, I guess, you're really close.
