You have been to Germany then, right?
I was an exchange student in Sachsen-Anhalt, ja.
Oh dear, Sachsen Anhalt? I hope it was at least Magdeburg^^
Nope... I was in a kleindorf of... 350? But I went to gymnasium in Salzwedel, so it was okay.
Ah ok - hey, don't think that what those people speak there was German - it's definitely not :)
Can you name the first five things that come to your mind when you think of Germany - based on your exchange?
Wow, Salzwedel has only 24k inhabitants?! (just looked it up) Even my home city (which I always felt was being very small, has like 80k) don't tell me it wasn't boring there heh.^^
Erste Fünf dinge an den ich denke von mein zeit als ein Austauschschüler in Deutschland:
1) Eisenbahn
2) Wittlich
3) Trier
4) Die Mosel
5) Cusanus Gymnasium
6) Skat spielen
7) Fahrrad Fahren
8) Die Abend wann die erste Nachrichten war: "Meine Damen und Herren, Ihr seit Reich." Dass war den Tag die DM sehr stark gegen den US Dollar gewachst hat.
9) Die Vulcan Eifel
10) Maar
11) Sprudel
12) Die Essen
Ya - so mein Wahlen ist nicht so gut. Ich wohnte in Rheinland-Pfalz. Nicht Hoch Deutsch, aber besser als Bayrisch, Saarländisch, oder Schwäbisch.
Wieso ist das kein Deutsch? Meinst du Hochdeutsch? Die Jugendliche, vielleicht nicht aber sonst fand ich das Deutsch relativ gut. Besser als Saechsisch oder Schwaebisch, oder?
Haha, ja Salzwedel war manchmal langweilig aber ich habe gute Freundschaften da aufgebaut und hatte auch Gelegnheiten auszureisen. :)
Ich habe auch vieles gemacht: ich war in der Bigband und trieb Leichtathletik auch, also ich hatte immer etwas zu machen. Zu hause habe ich auch im Kartoffelnbetrieb goholfen. :) Wo wohnst du, eigentlich?
Soooo... 5 Dinge die mich an Deutschland errinern? Okay:
1. Fussball! (soccer)
2. Das gute Bier (the good beer)
3. Das Ordentlichkeit von...ziemlich alles(the orderliness of... pretty much everything)
4. Wie die Menschen sich benehmen und mit einander aufhalten, und auch die kulturelle Kleinigkeiten sowie Hausschuhe und Sonntags zusammen Abendessen. Es gibt auch interresante Unterschiede im formalitaet. Auf Englisch gibt es kein 'Sietzen und dutzen,' formalitaet ist oefter mit 'Herr- und Frau-' vor die Name errichtet. Wo ich war, hat man gegenueber die Hand geschuettelt jedes mal man sich sah/traf, und mit Maedchen haben wir uns immer gedrueckt. In den USA ist das (meistens) reserviert nur fuer die beste Freunde.
5. Die Ehrlichkeit und Ausgesprochenheit des Menschens fand ich auch gut. In den USA haben viele Menschen angst, um ihren wahren Meinungen zu sagen weil sie anderen nicht beleidigen wollen. In Deutschland sagt man genau das, was er meint. Meistens, auch, weil nichts ueberall haelt. Stereotypen halten aber meistens einem kleinen Kern des Wahrheits drin. :)
Very sick, feel like I'm dying. OK, that's an exaggeration but seriously I feel like crap and so does my daughter. Won't be on much until this passes. Sable's been asked to take over for me, he can text or call me if need be for any questions that only I can answer for Bree.

Brrrr. Get well soon, both of you!

@ T-Ron: Yeah, it'S definitely better than the two you mentioned, but it's still a quite heavy dialect (at least for me, who comes of a rather dialect-free region). I'm from the Lower Rhine area originally, so nearly Dutch, but my father is from Bavaria and my relatives who still live there have quite a horrid accent^^
Orderliness is a big thing here, I often think it's overregulated, but I guess that's normal - we have forms for everything - we even have forms for applying for a form^^
And I also had the impression that Americans are very polite, but refrain from telling you that you don't like you (even though they probably do). In Germany most people tell you what you think about you - in your face :)
@ Tirion: Do people in the US play Skat? Never thought about that - if not, you have to introduce it there, so simple and still so good^^
Get well soon!

I think I still have a Skat deck. Loved the game, but nobody in this country has ever heard of the game. The only game that is somewhat comparable is bridge, at least it is the only real bidding game I know. But it is usually played slowly by older people, exactly the opposite of Skat which I spent hours playing at the Gymnasium.
You have to introduce Skat to the Americans - it's just great :)
I just read the Wikipedia entry on Spades and it's a bit related to Skat and Doppelkopf, so, sounds like a good game :)
Of course if she starts hallucinating with fever it'll be up to me to determine why she's suddenly telling me to give away her gear and trying to carve away the drow's kiss from her forehead.
He's so mean to me, I don't know why I ever became his friend. Look at this, and he didn't even tell me he hopes I get better soon! ;)
Thanks for the well-wishes everyone. I'm just checking in briefly to see how the games progressing. I'm still feeling something awful, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to go in to the doctors tomorrow if not the ER tonight. My ear is starting to feel like it might rupture. Anyway, continue on for me, I'll contribute to the game again when I feel better.

I know you'll be fine, it's my curse :P But just hurry up about it!
@ Stiehl9s: Are your friends still looking for games? Maybe we should invite them to take Bilbo's spot. If he (hopefully) returns we can go on with 7 players that wouldn't be a problem, I guess.
They are definitely still looking.
One has a Ninja preapred and the other a Wizard. Are you lookng for certain classes or roles to fill?
Bilbo played a cleric in HOL and a sorcerer in HOR, so I would rather say the wizard could become a member of the second squad. On the other side, maybe the two of them should take a look at the campaigns first and decide if they like them at all.
Ill pass the word. Neither of them would be above making up new characters also.
Harl was actually a paladin in HOL. Solaric is actually the cleric.
ah well, all those holy guys^^ thx for remembering me.
Bilbo also played a Varisian spellcaster in HOJ.

I think he posted once in HOJ. He was also a gnome pyromaniac sorcerer in HOR.
Yeah, I mentioned that above - I really wonder on what kind of mission they sent him....Hope it's not Fukushima again -_-
Yeah cool, I think that would be a good idea, then we had at least replacements for HOR and HOJ.

Updated character sheet
not sure of wealth allowed at this lvl and no magic items picked up .
let me know how much or what is available and i will add it on
Hi guys! Let me welcome you around the campfire, the common ooc thread.
@ Illusees: Ability generation looks good.
I think we will just exchange Vidor for you, since he didn't ahve a chance to interact by now anyway. So you should think of a background that includes one of your family members being in the jury of Mord's trial.
@ Ceragia: You won't be able to enter the campaign until the group has left the MIsgivings, but I guess that won't take that mega long and it will simultaneously give you enough time to read how the campaign fared during the first 3k posts.
Starting Wealth is half of the wealth by level table.

Well eventually we'll have to stop and rest for the night I've got the feeling. We haven't had any combat encounters but these things are draining resources fairly quick. And if this ghost comes gunning for us? Mitebebad.
Well, let's say I wouldn't recommend resting as long as the wand has charges^^
@ Ceragia: Btw. did you roll the ability scores?
I kept them from the point buy of the prior game she was in that ended. It was a 20 pt buy as I remember. Would you like a new set rolls ? If needed
13,10,12,12,16,9,12
84

Cool - what is your 7th stat? If you are only using the regular 6, drop the 9 and you are barely at DMZZ's minimum.
I followed the format I had seen above. I was giving those rolls however just in case dmz needed to see them and wanted me to use those instead. My stats on character sheet were already generated from a prior game and are what I had planned on keeping if that is ok.
Exactly,if you drop the 9 you made it exactly to 75...I'll turn a blind eye to that and say you reroll that...
I f you WANT to use the pt buy there is no problem with that, but APs are mega difficult and the rest of the group will be far more powerful than you.
Lets put it this way, my two characters in DMZZ campaigns stats are:
14 15 13 17 6 18; and
18 10 13 13 14 17
with point buys these would have been 34 points and 40 points respectively I believe. I would strongly recommend not using your 20 point buy in.
OK guys, I think I'm feeling well enough now to take back over for Bree. At least, I seem to have the pain management down. It turns out, my simple cold led to a lymph node infection and fluid build up behind my ear. I've been in quite a bit of pain the last 3 days or so. Last night I broke down and went to the ER when my eardrum felt like it was going to rupture. They've put me on Lortabs, Motrin 800 and Amoxicillin. I definitely still feel like crap, and likely will for a couple more days at least, but the Lortabs are helping with the pain and the Motrin with the swelling.
@Illusees: Heart of Riddles still just hasn't been the same without Sweeney :(

Ah! Didn't know you "are" Sweeney! If you would like to return to Riddleport that is also no problem.
@ Brre: Get better soon - sounds horrible

Thanks Zyren, and yes it is :(
I don't think he wants to rejoin. Sable and I tried to drag him back when you took over, but he said he just lost interest in it after such a long delay in the game. It would be awesome if he did though.
After listening to This again I'm totally in western mode again :) Deadlands anyone^^
I'm in. Reloaded or old school?
Thinking a dude from Boston who came west after his family died of typhus. Reporter/writer/gunslinger type.

should I roll 3 sets of 6 and keep the best set?
should I roll 3 sets of 6 and keep the best set?
Prior statements from DMZZ is roll until you get one >75 - since your last one was =75, he told you to roll again. I would do it in 3 sets of 6 personally, but it is up to him. I say do 3 sets of six, if none are >75, do it again. Once you get one over 75, tell DMZZ what one you are planning on using, at least that is what I did.
--> If you put them in a spoiler, then it takes up a lot less room on the thread.
sure thing thanks.
set 1 = 12,14,10,16,16,12 total 80
set 2 = 12,11,15,12,11,11 total 72
set 3 = 13,12,14,13,13,6 total 71
looks like set 1 is acceptable i hope
