Starting on July 22 and for 1 month, I won't be available for the 7pm UTC gaming sessions (fastbreaking would interfere), so unless the time can be moved earlier, I'll have to be excused.

Currently driving. Got a very late start out of Florida this morning thanks to inconsiderate people and bugs. Will not be home to run the game. Terribly sorry!

Week Three Recap

2012-07-01T22:56:35Z

Posted by: rainne

Players:

TL (Pau Amma)
Holly (Sophira)
Shirley (Azetidine)
Sporky (SporkyRat)

After being released by the guards, our intrepid heroes returned to the Blacke Ewe. While Shirley kept watch outside, they investigated the interior. Holly found a large amount of loot in a trunk upstairs in the tavern-keeper's room, as well as a collection of Craigh's adventuring journals. Sporky discovered some more loot and a single one of the journals hidden in a false-bottomed wardrobe. TL found food - lots of it.

Yesterday's game didn't happen - Rainne had some sort of Situation and couldn't make it.

Rainne, will we be having the game as normal next Sunday?

Narrative format and group chemistry just isn't working out for me. Don't expect Zev to be making any further appearances.

Sincerely,
Me.

D&D reminder

Posted by: sophie

Since I didn't get any replies to whether people wanted me to post a reminder about D&D sessions, I figure I'll post one today and we'll see if it works.

So... D&D will be on Sunday (2 days from now) at 7pm GMT (8pm BST; 3pm EDT). Hope to see everybody there :)

It seems most of us - including me - forgot that there was supposed to be a game tonight. Sorry, Rainne!

For the record, the agreed-upon dates and times are every Sunday at 7pm GMT (8pm BST; 3pm EDT). If wanted, I can try to post reminders here in this community a few days before the game - Thursday or Friday. If that's wanted, let me know and I'll happily take on the task, unless Rainne wants to do so herself!

---

While our group of intrepid adventurers was celebrating their graduation at the local tavern, two mysteriously cloaked figures entered. The bartender seemed to know them.

When Pau made a nuisance of himself, he was thrown out; the rest of the group left with him. The bartender closed the tavern.

In the process of leaving, the group happened to see the smaller of the two cloaked figures remove her hood; she was wearing a crown called the Diadem of Queen Aethella, which has been missing for over 300 years. There is a reward offered for the recovery of this diadem by a kingdom called Thane, in the north.

At the close of the session, the two cloaked figures had retired to a room upstairs of the tavern, the bartender was cleaning the common room below, and our group of adventurers was outside another (closed) tavern, trying to get some food into a very drunk Pau.

Scheduling: The Revenge

2012-05-31T21:41:11Z

Posted by: rainne

Okay, so I know a lot of people said Saturdays were best, but then it occurred to me that this is 2pm Saturday for me, and I often Have Things on Saturdays during the day. In fact, the next 2 Saturdays I have Things That Involve Yarn.

So I propose that we try this for Sunday at 3 EST for the next two weeks, and see how it works out for everyone's schedule. Then if we need to be flexible on future weekends, we can always work that out in advance.

If this is going to be a problem for anyone, please bring it up in the comments; otherwise, I'll assume this is good to go and plan accordingly.

Scheduling v 2.0

Posted by: rainne

In an effort to accommodate everyone, I think the best time to start playing is going to be around 3 in the afternoon Eastern (7pm GMT). What I don't know is which day is better, as we're fairly even between Saturday and Sunday. So.

I will note that once the fall semester starts in late August, I will not be around on Mondays at all, so we should keep that in mind.

IRC D&D game - Background info

2012-05-23T22:25:45Z

Posted by: rainne

Garrotten.

It's an ordinary sort of place: a small village on the shore of Lake Farmin. It is surrounded by fields of cereal grains, which are themselves surrounded by woods. What is beyond the woods?

Well, who knows?

On the eastern end of the village, at the top of a good-sized hill, is the Keep. It's been in the Wossname family for... oh, centuries at least. Long enough that no one remembers ever hearing even hints of who it might have belonged to before.

Currently, Lady Wossname runs a school out of the Keep - Lady Wossname's School for Adventurers. Here, young people from all around come to learn the basics of their chosen class, be they rogues, fighters or magic-wielders. Every spring, a small class graduates to level one. They go out into the world, seeking their fortune, gaining fortune and fame along the way.

Of course, sometimes they die. But that happens to adventurers. A lot.

Today is a special day. Today, a class of twelve has graduated from the School. They are a mishmash of races and professions. And they are gathered now in the tavern in the center of town, boisterously celebrating their graduation.

Celebrate, young adventurers. Eat, drink and be merry. For today, you have become PCs. And today your adventuring begins.

Warhammer 40k

Because you know what, content is awesome.

So, I play Warhammer. Have been collecting things for, hmm, I guess it's about two years now. My primary army is Craftworld Eldar, with a sizable chunk of Salamander Space Mariness built up as well. I enjoy painting, and am reasonably good at it. The mechanics of building and optimizing army lists are my true love; unfortunately they tend to fall apart on the tabletop due to my bumbling incompetent tactical choices.

I've managed to get my dad started on the hobby as well (a prepainted 750pt list helped) and am anxiously awaiting my first chance to play a game with/against him. Of course, since I am so weak on tactics, I am being frantic nervous about how to deal with the Opposition.

( Complete lists, and speculation )

Thoughts, commentary? Am I the only dwenizen who plays this game? (I suspect not, but evidence hasn't been overwhelming)

Anyone playing any games they wish to share information on?

I'm playing Pathfinder right now. I'm a dwarven monk and did you know that none of the character sheets I've been able to find for Pathfinder really work well for monks?
