This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yes.

Okay. At this point, Ulas is now wishing he'd come up with some kind of signal to pause the lowering of the basket if need be. Oh well!

Quote from: Cole;421096Thanks, Drohem. All I meant though is that I ought not to be sarcastic about things, since I'm not invested with fighting some kind of putative "swine war;" I usually have the position "I think that X, you think that Y; we disagree, but that's okay, and knowing so we can discuss this."

But it's the internet and all, so sometimes in the way of that is the response "No, you think Y too, you just don't know it." or "No, you think Y too, don't try to pretend otherwise to me," both of which are frustrating - I am totally okay with someone having different opinions and learning from them, and so I may well look forward to discussion. And it's trying at times when I have to get past people assuming everyone is a frontline soldier in one or another invisible nerd war.

So my catty side comes out, but it's counterproductive to let it.

Get out of my mind! :D

Quote from: Benoist;420893Hey guys. How do you like the maps?

very much....!:)
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

I hope it's vulnerable to arrows.

Also I kinda hope that puddle of fleshy stuff isn't volatilely flammable.

As a Dwarf I have been trained to fight most large beasties, including ogres, trolls and giants.  Can I discern anything about this creature's identity based on that background?

I really hope it isn't because if it is, boy, are we screwed.

A very sensible question. I'm pretty sure I've never ever seen such a thing in my life.

There's something wrong about it. Even if it was a VERY HUGE Ogre, or a Giant, it wouldn't move like this. It's like... brain dead or something. It's hard to make out more, because the creature is still very much covered by shadows.

OK I hadn't seen Cole's post! Edited my post accordingly. Actually, rolling high on initiative is the best - it basically determines when your opponents act in the round. So you act in Segment 4, and the monsters act in Segment 5.
