A Land Far Away

skbieber. Very few of you will remember him, but he was my best friend in RL. Passed away late last year after a failed organ transplant. He loved reading Science Fiction and Fantasy, playing board games (the more complicated the better) and Role Playing. Most of all, we shared the same taste in mus...

Hiya Duck (yeah, I check about once a year, it seems). Wondering how this went. I wish that I had seen this in a more timely fashion, I would have raised my hand to volunteer as a guinea pig for your group. I've been playing every two to three weeks with a very small group of friends on Roll20 since...

Arelith had a really weird (to me at first) system where a toon with the capacity (STR and inventory space) just collected everything. Rogues would frequently trap/unlock/search, then step back to let the mage ID, then the Barb would pick it all up. Once in town, we'd discuss anything too nice to s...

If I have one loot wish, it’s that everyone gets the experience of having a piece of gear that helps typify and expand their character, like Thor’s hammer, or Cap’s shield, or Arryn’s Lucille. As a character development tool, such an item is gold, aside from its particular brand of combat kick assn...

I hate arriving at a decision via random chance (d20). Back when I first re-joined we tried to institute a spreadsheet to try and make it more fair, but that was not met with a favorable reaction. It lasted one session. I am almost at the point where I don't even want to know what the loot from a se...

And this post is completely pointless because the next time someone is convinced by an Internet argument it will be the first. Yup. Save your keystrokes. You are either convinced that Trump is a corrupt, lying moron or you are a < remainder of post deleted by board monitors. Wild Wombat has been gi...

Damn it .... I didn't know that google photos stopped hosting for urls.... what do you people use now? Give this a try: https://www.google.com/intl/en/drive/ I don't think it will put the pics right in there ... at least I was unable to figure that out. But you can link to them. Bit of a pain, but ...

Who?

I still can't see them either.

Not sure that paradise comes with an outhouse, but ... yeah!

Wow. That is really awesome, Peter. I join Ari in wishing I could see the pics though. A dozen outbuildings and a dock? Damn, makes me think of summer camp all those years ago. Know all about the looking after parents. My dad is 92 and lives close by - still sharp as a tack, but he's becoming less a...

If anybody in the Waterdeep Watch had any initiative there would be an investigation of this incident. A merchant attacked after a mercenary priest failed to control the beast he had summoned from who knows where? Sounds fishy. But we all know how lazy the Watch is. Unless a noble gets a hang nail, ...

Nah, we'll just give the dwarf a longer pole.

Murgen already has that.

*Assumes that next on the list is something to be handed out to vastly under-powered rogues and fighters* :roll: #JustSayin Like my trap crafting system which is in now? Or the XP for disarming traps? LIghten up, Francis! Touch my stuff -again- I kill you. :D (At least two people that frequent thes...

I was kidding ... sort of. All melee PCs are much more likely to get killed than the ones that hang back. If you do not agree with that statement then stop reading: nothing else I write will make sense to you. What I wrote is especially true of the pure fighter types like Kalo and Arryn (RIP). They ...
