my dad has inspired me with tales of vampires from his country of origin.

if i was to play, i wonder if i could use some of those.

my favourite right now being a manananggal.

so awesomely hilarious and weird!
 
and while we were at it we did stuff to his body. Most importantly we implemented a lock jaw mechanism. Whenever he starts to say stuff that would get him (or us) in trouble, we can press a button and lock his jaw. :cthulhu:

Hmmm...I wonder how many people wished something like that existed in real life. ;):1orglaugh

Since hubby is one of those people who doesn't have an off switch, I wish I had one in real life daily.

It gets so bad sometimes that I never have to bother interacting with anyone since he answers for me. :1orglaugh I love him dearly, but I'd kill for a lock jaw device.

well, my sister DM'd for the first time and did rather well.

we were set in castle rook where i encountered evil enchanted chess pieces and the murder of its king and the near death of its queen. an evil mage turned out to be good in the end as we all worked together to defeat "the dark one."

i give her props for writing a story with an actual decent twist.

yay!

Awesome. ;-)

I've started writing the Laser Ponies in Wonderland scenario for Conception.

Laser Ponies was created for the QAGS system and I'm using Wonderland No More for wonderland inspiration, which is Savage Worlds. I've ran SW, but never ran QAGS. Both are systems created for quick, easy gameplay.

Both sytems has something so that players can influence play...SW calls them bennies (use a benny to reroll or try to influence the situation) and QAGS calls them YumYums because you're supposed to use candy instead of counters.

YumYums sounds so much cooler.

Decisions, decisions.

Interesting

Were these large animated chess pieces or were they actual anthropomorphic living chess creatures? I can see the story being good, if in a weird creepy down the rabbit hole insane sort of way.

some of them were more human-like, the knights especially. the pawns were just big pieces that slammed into us for an attack then crumbled to bits upon defeat.

the story was pretty good. we thought the enemy was the mage but he was being used by the "dark one" so luckily, we didnt kill the mage, just beat him severely then questioned him. i even gave him one of my precious potions of healing to keep him alive so he could keep his magic barrier around the queen while the battle between us and the dark one took place.

apparently, the queen was pregnant with the mages child too. it was pretty neat. the poor poor king. i especially liked finding the diary notes of the queen around the castle.
 
The guy (my friend) next to me at my D&D 4ed game last night had a character who he felt inclined to "rp" by shouting, yelling, wailing, and exclaiming his name EVERY F*&^%kING 5 SECONDS!! Pissed me off, cus it was distruptive, nobody really got a chance to roleplay much, and the joke didnt last very long, as for roleplay it was shit, I have a cracked wisdom tooth, and major headaches at the moment and the last thing I need is someone shouting Barry into my ear. Seriously considered leaving half way through.

Oh well, c'est la vie, the rest of it was good, played a new character as another player was running as DM for the first time, it was a encounter based (for something I was told was going to be pure RP) But I guess thank god it wasnt pure rp, after the twat sat next to me.

rant over and out.
Anyone play any muds. I've started playing one called Awakened worlds. But perhaps we could all finda game to join together?

It set me back a bit of money but I just invested in the Tome of Horrors Complete where it's been converted for Pathfinder. I think it might be over six hundred pages. Now I just need to find a way to get somewhere where I can also download the PDF for it. It's supposed to have even more material than the book.

i havent heard of that one before. apparently you can BUY the pdf (ahahahaaa, ok ok, :sarcasm:) https://www.aplusdownload.com/cgi-bin/apluspro/scripts/apluspro.cgi

30 bucks though. pfft. especially after u shelled out the cash for the real deal.

im sure if you look around, youll find it.

This is the one thing I don't usually agree about with the whole .pdf business...the fact that they try to sell it for damn near the same price as the book (though I'm guessing the book is a tad more expensive than $30).

When I was doing some stuff for a rpg publisher last year, they justified this by the print cost actually being about $5 or so at cost. It's the time and effort for the graphics, illustrations, and of course the writing that you're paying for.

Not quite sure I subscribe to that theory.

/\ i say, if you buy the book, you should be able to get a copy on pdf. i mean, if they are afraid of piracy, well, people who want to pirate it will anyway, pdf copy given to them or not.

pdfs are never as good as the physical thing as a whole. but its convenient for fast searching of keywords. a pdf near the cost of a damn physical book is too much, unless the book is no longer available or never was available to begin with.

There's quite a few who do that. Savage Mojo allows you a package where if you buy a print version, you get the PDF as well.

I believe DriveThru is doing this with a lot of their print on demand books as well. At least they're planning it with th 20th anniversary edition of v:tm.

So... what got you hooked on D&D?

I've tried it a couple of times, first time I was given a level 1 character where everyone else had theirs in the early twenties... raped by dragon.

Second time... in Amsterdam at a game meetup... best thing I got to say about that was that the beer and the burgers were good.

Savage Mojo on the other hand I can live with, its a lot more forgiving for people like me that arent really interested in this sort of stuff.

You dont need 10 spreadsheet, 400 different types of dice and the rules are fairly simple.
