ya, very exotic, isn't it :)
A warm coat and a pair of boots,Fey? ;) Hope that helps.
Hahaha, darn. Really thought I had hit it square on the head with that one.
Ahhhhh...diabetes will put a quick halt to hiking. Those foot wounds are a devil. Snowmobile! Fun and fast. After that I am thinking you may have to contact a wizard.
Harpwizard is actually more of bard, so no,lol.
You need your own personal riding-wendigo and all is fine...oh and don't trust those yetis!
Hahaha,yes a wendigo would be great aside its Canadian accent, ehh.
I would recommend teleportation.
A catapult + large net is another option, but you have to carefully calculate for wind. Missing is a real pain.
Does the caster level of a (improved) familiar grow with its (the wizard's) hit dice?
I'd say no. the familiar isn't a caster, but has spell-like abilities that don't improve with the other abilities tied to Master CL.

OK, back from work - and the snowfall is getting worse...We had a solid snowsheet beneath the canopy of the gas station! The way back (by cab) took almost half an hour - for five frigging kilometers!
A good time to stay inside and not go anywhere today ...if I didn't need food and medications...brrrrr.
And it looks so idyllic and harmless on the webcam photo
Does anyone not agree with Voodoo?
@ Fey: Same here...more and more snow...

Ooh - lookie that, broke over 15,000 posts while I wasn't looking :)
Means I had 5,000 posts between mid May last year and today. 5,000 divided by eight months = 625 posts a month = or roughly 20-21 a day... something's telling me I should get out more :P
yeah, and did I just see that you started a new Black Monastery PbP?
nutter. ; )
Heh - the Black Monastery one isn't explicitly new - just the result of the fact I couldn't keep an IK RPG one going. Lack of PDF rules just killed my ability, so I'm chucking them at the black edifice for fun and profit.

Only just passed 12k here, gonna take a while to catch you and Shifty.
I second Chili's statement :)
I love that in Warhammer belligerence is expected. It's like being from West Virginia! Dwarves and nobles just go around whacking people as they see fit and no one says anything or they get whacked too. I know one librarian that is about to get Grudgesworn, lol.

Hah, we'll see, we'll see :)
terror thursday - updates tomorrow
sorry, for me the site was down yesterday, so the updates had to wait until today - I noticed however that we have experienced a certain downswing of activity over the last couple of weeks? :/

Shifty's absence certainly leaves a large hole.
Yes, it does. :(
Well - I had about 700 posts to get through when I went away for barely a week last spring, I figure that for Shifty, a month away has to be in the 3-5000 range, likely more.
That's quite a number of posts :)
Z or Fey ,if I were to travel in Europe where would be an affordable locale in which to do so.
No preferences in terms of country/language?
No. Safety and funds are my only real concerns.
I like how Warhammer Orcs are just London low life punkers.

Safety shouldn't be that much of a concern in western and northern Europe (no idea for eastern and southern Europe as I have sadly never been there)unless you go to the very bad parts of London, Liverpool, Manchester, Paris, Leipzig or Dresden / some small towns in eastern Germany might be a problem, too, but they are generally very uninteresting for tourists).
I don't know about funds atm., but I will check back (probably not today, though).
Safety isn't a problem in countries like Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, Austria and Switzerland.
Greece, Turkey, the Balcan countries, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, and England I wouldn't recommend in terms of safety.

Lol - I like that you include England in the "unsafe" countries. I assumed that as long as you were not wearing the wrong football jersey, you were pretty safe.
Spain seemed like it was meeting the price/safety point, plus my wife speaks Spanish fluently....Germany would be a bit pricey I am guessing.
I spent almost 2 months total in Spain on this trip I'm on, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The first month, though, I was walking the camino de santiago pilgrimage, which is a rather unique experience not found anywhere else in the country, but if you have the time I'd highly reccomend it (it's also a very cheap way of seeing the country, at about 5-7 euros for accomodation, if you don't mind dorm rooms filled with sweaty pilgrims). Also, Santiago de Compestela is a beautiful city and very near the Spanish Pacific coast, which is also beautiful -- might be worth seeing even if the camino isn't so much your style.
I also went to the Running of the Bulls in Spain, which was amazing but only a once-a-year type thing -- that's in July.
The rest of my time in Spain was in Madrid and in Málaga which is in the south on the Mediterranean. Madrid is a great city with lots of things to see, while I found Málaga was mostly just a beach city with all the commodities you'd expect from a beach city. I've heard great things about San Sebastian, Valencia, and many other places along the southern coast.
The only other place I found that even remotely compared to Spain's level of cheapness was Berlin, which is a truly amazing place. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. I also had a great time in Budapest, both beautiful and interesting things to see there, but I was visiting some native Hungarians I'd met on the pilgrimage in Spain and they took very good care of me -- English didn't seem too common there, especially outside Budapest. The nice thing about Hungary, though, is it is likely even cheaper than Spain.

What exactly do you want to see? Historical places (and then from which part of history), warm-relaxed-tourist areas, cross country trip to get a up close and personal feel for the land and people?
What level of comfort are you looking for? Youth hostels vs. fine hotels, fancy meals vs. broetchen (bread)?
How much are you looking to go around? You can buy some tourist packages for the trains, but this takes some planning (and serious intent to travel) to make it worth while. If you just want to see one city, walking everywhere is cheap.
Are you taking young kids with you (that would get bored easily)?

Berlin was amazing. It is (to some degree) connected of most of the major events of the last century. Know your history before you go there.
I have an acquaintance from my home town that moved to Berlin 3 years ago and I have kept in semi-frequent contact with him. Maybe I'll look into a trip to Deutschland....scratching chin.
Berlin has everything...the most splendid and the most ugly things and it's mega vibrant.
I've spent quite some time in England and I never felt really safe there...twice someone tried to rob me...
Oooh - and you have to do Dresden too - that place is awesome.

Oh yeah, even though the Spreewald is a place most Germans associate with hillbilly-ness, it is actually a very mystical place, with certain very special customs and traditions and breathtaking nature.
Last time I was in Berlin was 1988. There was still a wall and you had to go through the exciting East German border checks to go to East Berlin. It was amazing. West Berlin was a clean modern city, while East Berlin was like someone had decided that only two colors were allowed, grey and rustyish red. Obviously the Stalinist art and architecture left something to be desired. I will get back there someday, it will be interesting to see how it has changed.
One really cool thing in Berlin - if it is still there - is the architecture museum (I think it is actually called the Pergamon Museum). They have a complete Greek Altar (from Persia) and the Gates of Babylon as I recall. Amazing stuff which some German government decided to collect long before keeping items of historical importance where they belong became a fad.
If they would have gotten left where they belonged, some yayhoos in a pickup would have blown the snot out of them with a recoiless rifle. Like the Buddhas in Afghan. Very saddening that a people which is responsible for us having some of the ancient wonders we do decided that it would be a good idea to begin destroying them in our time.
Its not modern. To the best of my knowledge Napoleon thought that it was fun to use the Sphinx in Egypt for target practice.
