Let's be realistic here, I'll probably be a little late when it comes to being prepared.
But hey, I've been working on maps ahead of time this week! I even have one drawn out... just not converted into spreadsheet form.Originally Posted By: Egues-Tol, Necromancer"I studied as an apprentice under the same master as Shrakka-Tos. She was a fiendishly-brilliant summoner, and produced some of the most bizarre creatures I've ever seen... and I have seen strange things indeed. However, her ethics were... dubious. I have always wondered what became of her." -
Pardon my double post, but the log of last session is up! Download it at your own peril!
Also, a reminder, next session is Thursday, January 20th, 6pm CST. Be there!

- Adira totally has one unspent skill point, since it'll only take 4 to raise her Perception (I'm not counting the racial bonus in factoring the cost).
- Mal spent one point too many... 5+6 for First Aid's two ranks, then 1+2 for Artifice and 1 for Bows makes 15.

you realise that if you had more stamina points you'd just have to spend more of them for the same effect right
It has actually crossed my mind to offer extra Stamina reserves as a reward, but I wouldn't cheapen it by just increasing all the costs (since it would neatly defeat the purpose of the whole exercise). That said, it would take something truly epic to gain Stamina, since it is currently such a precious resource.
Don't expect to be doubling it any time soon, is what I'm saying. For the time being, your best bet is to keep an eye on your expenditures, and remember that pushing yourself to the limit is only valuable if you can survive.Originally Posted By: Khashen, the Oracle of Selos"It is fitting you would ask that, Keoshor. So many ask, but hardly any comprehend. It is like walking down a hallway, but looking ahead to see yourself walking down the same hallway. And then you see the hallway branch off, as one of you stumbles on a stone or shifts their weight slightly. And then you look down that hallway, and see further branches. I choose my path as I go, taken from the fleeting glimpses of that hall of mirrors." -
Greetings, all! In order:
1. My apologies for my absence since last session, as well as the lack of log. I'm going to make myself do it soon.
2. I still need a levelup from Dantius.
3. Next session is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, January 20th, 6pm CST, in "spidwebRPrumors". Be there, and above all, be prepared! (Bared teeth and ambitions are optional)
So to apologize for the delays, I've sketched out a quick little legend:

It's obvious... Granius is a time-traveler who named all of these dinosaurs!
It would explain so much!!! -

Sandstorms are non-migratory! -
It's owned by AOL. Need we say more? *shrug*

So I see that under half the party bothered with my little assignment. But, no matter.
Remember, session 9 is THIS WEDNESDAY!!! We're gonna try out a new room this week, so everyone should come to "spidwebRPrumors". Take that, lag!

With 2010 behind us (finally!) and 2011 just begun, it is that most arbitrary of times when we set down goals for ourselves for the next arbitrary length of time! Or to clarify, time for new year's resolutions.
Last year, we didn't have a proper thread for this. In fact, the last time I recall a proper thread for this, it was back over at Shadow Vale. Or maybe I'm just remembering things wrong. But no matter! We should not have to stoop to re-using a holiday thread for this sort of thing, it deserves a thread of its own!
So I wholeheartedly invite all in the community to come and share your resolutions for the coming year, and whether or not you lived up to the previous year's. And regardless of your goals (or lack thereof), I'd like to wish everyone a fantastic 2011!

Definitely. I agree wholeheartedly with this, and wish it were still possible to play Civ II on any of my computers. -

The miniseries was fairly decent (far better than I had dared hope, at least). After having grown up with a fair number of the Dinotopia books, I wish it had continued... -
Woooooo! Yay! Huzzah! Etcetera!
Can't wait for Arrhinoceratops, which has the uncanny power to make people roll 20s.

Major bumpage!
First, some pics from my recent trip to Chicago:
- The bean
- Gino's East (I've signed the walls with my moniker each time I've been there)
- The city at night

Also, for the record, I meant to specify that I'd like to see the descriptions posted in the thread. It'll be more fun that way.Originally Posted By: traditional Dwarven toast"May the gods bless our labors today, and our wine as well!" -
Hey folks, happy Boxing Day! Have a log!
Click to reveal.. (I gift-wrapped these quotes for you!)Also, because I am being pulled away for a family gathering out of state that will likely leave me without net access for this entire week*, there will be no one-shot until after the New Year. My apologies, this was decided about two hours ago, and I had no input.
Fortunately, the schedule would not have permitted a Rumors session until then anyway! So, I can say that the next session of Rumors of My Death will be Wednesday, January 5th, at 6pm CST. Stay tuned, we might shift rooms in light of recent lag.
Until then, this is your homework. As a DM, I often half-ass improvise spell descriptions, as well as combat techniques. Before next session, describe how at least one of your spells/techniques appears when used in combat (or out of combat if you prefer). Preferably in some amount of detail.

Like I said, I've been working on it. And voila, here it is, just one day before the next session! Like I said, been pretty busy here. My apologies once more.
Anyway.
Click to reveal.. (QUOTES)Yup, next session is Thursday, December 23rd, at 6pm CST. Be there, or be eaten by locusts! Or both!

Alright folks. Once more, I apologize for all the delays. But here's the good news. I am ready to schedule session 8, and it will be Thursday, December 23rd, at 6pm CST in the usual place!
Also, assuming I am not out of town (may happen due to family concerns beyond my control), I would like to put the one-shot Escape From Sarden sometime between Christmas and New Year's. I would like to emphasize that anyone will be open to join, and I will give preference to people not in the main campaign.

Why oh why did we ever re-enable images?
...as for the actual topic, good lord. I do not let people mess with my system, ever.

He used punctuation, that was the mistake...

I think we're all missing the fact that Dintiradan already won this thread.
