I'm from and live in Southampton. Apparently the friendliest city on the south coast, but I just don't see it.
I was once to Southampton...or rather spent about 5 hours in the harbour, ate some quite good fish&chips there :)
I have an odd question:
I'm going to contribute to a small collection of essays for the English department of my university and I just wanted to ask you as a native speaker if you could have look over it - collocation errors and such stuff. And I bet you know some more elaborate phrasings than I do -_-
Has about 13 pages.
Thx in advance
My mom is from Scotland, so I have been there about ten times visiting relatives on a number of occasions. I lived in Germany for three months with an exchange student in high school While visiting, they took me to France and Spain. However, once I got married, my wife and I have travelled to Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Norway, and most recently Turkey. We lived in Istanbul for two months a couple of years ago. We were doing some volunteer work teaching Iraqi refugees in a small school. Zyren, did you ever get out to Cappadoccia?
Thx, that's very kind of you! Very kind!
I still got your email and will send it as soon as I'm content with it, which will be tomorrow I think.
Sadly not, I've never been to central Turkey, just to the western coast and to three different locations at the southern coast.
Teaching Iraqi refugees? I really take my hat off to you.
It was an amazing summer! The work was actually very nice. The people were remarkable and were very appreciative. I was really glad to teach math and not just english.
Here is the blog if you are interetsed. My wife wrote most of it, but I had a few entries.
Ha! Funnily I imagined you pretty much the way you actually look like!
And I can conform with Mehmet about what is important about a country :)
It is really fun interacting with lots of D&D players online and wondering about their lives on the other side of the world!
May I take the feat Racial Heritage and use both the Human and Aasimar traits?
A groggy good morning to you all.
Good morning, Bree. We have not really met. I play with Zyren in three different campaigns, but not in Second Darkness. I love the way you greet everyone in the mornings and at night! Have a great day!!
Thank you, DM Harpwizard. I hope that you have a great day as well, and perhaps we'll get the chance to play in a campaign together when I'm ready to spread my wings a bit more!
Germany's armed forces have a new strapline "We.Serve.Germany."...oh dear...that's the first thing since they cancelled compulsory military service...I don't think that will lead to more happy lifers^^
@DMHW: That's totally Ok, I don't think that would endanger the balance.
Mornin' Bree.
I feel so uncultured after reading about everyone else' travels. *sigh*
Awww, c'mon, I know zillions of people having the mind of bugs and travelling all the while :)
Not sure If I'll be back later, otherwise: See ya tomorrow morning!
I just spoke to Sable, his fever has broken but he's taking a trip to the ER. He'll be on again when he can.
Later Zyren!

Goblin Fever! or all those little kids this weekend. Same difference.
Rest up Sable!
Suprisingly, or perhaps I was reading We Be Goblins while my fever was hitting me, I had hundreds of consecutive lucid goblin-themed dreams. So the great news is that I have hundreds of module ideas. The good news is that my fever broke this afternoon. I never stay sick long, when/if I get sick at all. Last time was 7 years ago... everybody was down with the flu for 2 weeks, it finally caught up to me. I was in and out of bed in 1 day. So now I'm back up to par, just in time to check updates before heading off to LARP!
Glad to hear you're back up and running. :)
Not another LARP!

Glad you're back up. I'm the same way although I get sick once a year or so. I go all malaria level fever and chills for about 24 hours and then I'm done...
Hey if you're all excited about Goblins perhaps we can rope you into running We Be Goblins here on the boards if Toothless Dragon doesn't return. He's only been AWOL a few days so far, but if we don't hear anything by next week maybe i'll start putting on the squeeze : )

That's too bad. I poked my head in to spread mayhem during the recruitment. It looked like it was going to be fun.
Ha, Meowzebub! I forgot you were on this discussion. Damn, now I can't talk smack about the PCs in my Freebooter campaign!! : P
Oh, Please do! We get smacked around enough over there that a little bit over here ain't gonna' kill me
Aaaalmost got a crit with Nieve...
Hopefully the bloody sinspawn dies. I had half a mind of screaming CHIDORI.

You know what'll happen the moment the last sinspawn dies though right? The shouty imp is just going to reappear and summon a load more, to undo all of our Sinspawn smashing good work.

Well think Karlan was right, a few of us can go crunch the fountain thingamy.

That's why the big burly half orcs take their axes and hammers and do some demolition work.

You betcha!
Mornin' everyone!
Good to see you up and well again Sable!
Good morning, Zyren. I hope you had a peaceful night.
Still aching muscles from football^^
Ha, I know the feeling; wed night first night back doing light training was a bit of a surprise for some muscles after sitting about for six weeks.

Well, they say if it doesn't hurt your not doing it right.
Hah, yeah isn't it weird how soon muscles begin to dwindle away^^
I just recently started to do push-ups again...was pretty exhausted after 10, now I'm back to 50 in a row, yet that's still not the 70 I did last summer.
Running is the same, for each week you stop you go backwards TWO weeks.
Good programs to get you back on track :)
Wow cool, I'll surely try that!
Lol, I'm fair to a point where my monsters lose surprise rds etc.^^ so, I would have surely told you, if this was the same guy that you noticed before :)
Thank you!
Lol^^ I think it's all about having fun, not about being overly correct :)
My ex thought it was all about torturing your players in as many different nefarious ways that he could think up. Nevertheless, I still came back time after time, begging for more.
seems like the others also returned, so maybe he was a good storyteller?!
Aye he was. When I left him, I mourned the loss of my imaginary friends far more than I did the loss of my husband.

That's.... brutal :p

He is a mentally/emotionally abusive @$$ who doesn't deserve your compassion, trust me.
That being said, yeah, maybe but it's true. Over a year later and I still wake up from dreams about my characters, and then realize I'll never play them again and it brings tears to my eyes. Of course, I am a bit psycho so that could explain it too...

Sorry I must be losing my touch if there was a hint of compassion in there :P You can always play them again, just need to find a new forum for them :)

Lol, nah it's OK, I caught your :P face.
No, actually I can't. They were characters from a pnp rpg he himself created but has never been released to the public, as he has never finished it in it's entirety. They wouldn't translate well into any other game, and it just simply wouldn't be the same. A lot of what wounds me is the interactions that my characters had with other characters and NPC's. I know it sounds nuts, lol. Otherwise, I would.(I played several in this game, in different campaigns, some crossing over. He forced me to play my favorite characters arch-nemesis as well and if he caught me metagaming, or doing one thing with the nemesis character in an attempt to aid my heroine, he would penalize my heroine. It was actually kind of fun once I got over the sting of it.)
I had a DM once that would coddle his gf's character and keep her in a 'bubble of protectiveness' and if you said anything cross to her character youd all of a sudden end up in a gladiator pit fighting some sort of unspeakable horror with none of your gear. needledd to say that game didnt last long at all.
I think that was a part of why he was so rotten to my character's, Kabal, so no one could dare say he was showing me favoritism, though he still claimed he gave me more than he should. The other reason was probably because I harassed him to play day and night. I thought it was fair, he harassed me for other things, day and night, lol.
hahaha! that does sound fair Bree!
Then again, I had been playing my main character for 8-years and she had grown to posses god-like powers. So, I suppose it was necessary to keep her challenged.
