Heres a concept of a lizar ssslik'athha . Sssil would know this stuff, anyone else who wants to read it as a player is welcome. Its basically a mistress, kind of like a geisha but geisha are usually hired entertainers for many men and they dont usually sleep with them. ([rant] the book "Memoirs...

Kass nods at Sssil's request. "Here, take this" She reaches in her pack and pulls out a small reed pouch filled with healing supplies and hands it to him. "Hopefully you wont need it. Its full and has some extra bandages, too." Your healing kit is now full, and has 5 extra uses. ...

Massively super busy. I'll try to post later today. Sorry for the delay.

There is a Mouseguard hardback RPG book. Just the book. And the "2nd edition" softcover book that only comes in the 2nd edition "boxed set". I guess the second book rules are a lot more concise, stuff gets explained more and theres new stuff. The boxed set alos has a ton of othe...

Hm. If this was real life, i'd be mumbling something unintelligible and staring at my feet from all the praise while turning bright red. But seriously, thanks guys. It means a lot. D&D has always been one of my major hobbies, and I am so happy that I got the chance to game with a great group of ...

Ahh. I see. Mouse Guard! At ECCC this year I found Mouse Guard for the first time, then I met David Peterson, had a funny conversation with him about "renting" kids to dress them up in super cute Mouse Guard cos-play outfits, and got the books I bought (fall and winter) signed by him! I L...

Thats cool, OB. I'm glad to see you around! No apology needed. and *snicker* Dwarf Underwear! Kassah paces as she thinks, tapping the journal on one of her palms "Yes, what was their plan? Hmm... As you said, Thiy, it seems like the rats were to destroy the food. Lets imagine for a second that...

This is a response to Ian in him and OB's thread, but I wanted to move it out here so I could say thanks to everyone for being such great players and thanks for all the positive feedback. You all are responsible for making this game so much fun to run with your great characters and RP! I dunno if it...

No way, the longer the posts are, the better! Of course, I know that we're all busy and it can get really hard to squeeze in time especially when youre tired from work or whatever. But maybe at least for me thats a good thing, you guys might have to read huge pages every day! Both threads had long ...

Thanks! Yeah, I kinda wanted to show how insidious the bad guys really are. I generally dont go for the old TSR style of writing where the bad guys are one sided- overtly evil and doing stupid shit like sacrificing their own loyal underlings (that *always* drove me nuts- things like where an allied ...

Oh yeah, you can totally see whats going on. Sssil's noises that he is making at you just don't make any sense, but you can tell he is happy about something. And its pretty obvious everyone is putting something on their hands. And everyone gets "awesome RP points" for both of you having g...

Alright, I'll have Artaxes loom in the back and scowl at all the weird swamp people. I'll also hold off on making any giant plot points happening, or putting Artaxes in a tu-tu. :D Glad you like all my cultural weirdness! As I said before I'm a cultural anthro major with a focus on linguistics. So ...

"Good idea" says Kass in response to Sssil's comment about burning both the lump and the wound. She drops her backpack and digs through it, pulling out a small firekit and torch. "Here." she says as she hands Sssil a bottle of some kind of thick brownish resin in a glass pot from...

Well maybe the grahhssk just didnt like the pigs stink! They *are* pretty dumb. :D. Um. I just realized I kinda implied the drover is a dope-fiend. Not my original plan, but I'm gonna go with it! Kassah and Ktch'klik look over the objects the humans have found in the drover's tent. Ktch'klik picks ...

Ian: Thiy remembers seeing the odd scissors and pliers contraption used by the drover on the grahhssk's feet, to clip damaged scales and claw tips. The file as well serves the same purpose, to smooth clipped claws and scales so they dont have rough edges and potentially get caught on something. As ...

They are *amazing*. At least their older stuff. They got a new singer, and their newer stuff is slower and not as epic. Its melodoc metal with keyboards and amazing female true operatic vocals. AND they sing about Dragonlance, LOTR, and a bunch of other amazing fantasy stuff. Their best album is Wis...

Hm. I think thats a good idea, Ian.. :D Well, I think you guys found everything in the tent with those rolls. The monk enters the tent and carefully looks around. While nothing is immediately apparent, she lifts one corner of the hide-mat on the ground and finds a pouch. Inside is 6 small cut gems,...

No kidding. The first time I heard this song i flipped. Its about Raistlin Majere. Which is kinda cheesy, but also just so fucking rocking.

Urrffrah approaches the unconcious warrior carefully. She focuses her eyes on the disgusting mass sprouting from the old warrior's chest. Something about it reminds it her of her old home. Something about "pure forms". But as soon as she remembers, it fades. Reaching forward, she grabs the...

On a side note, Nightwish is the best band ever to write D&D to. I mean, its opera! And metal! and they sing about Dragonlance! It makes me want to go get a sword and kill orcs. Seriously.

Kassah nods at the monk's pointing out of the symbols. "Yes, that does look like the same symbol as the one on the traitor's chest. I have no runic instruction whatsoever, but I know VEN means poison, right? In Zaangaardian the glyph for the sound VEN is often put on poisonous things, although ...

No, even if it is too low, you will be told you didn't find anything, in some way. You just haven't done the thing that triggers it yet. Hisssa comes out from under the wagon, grumbling about getting tossed around in his pouch and then being asked to bite the gross cork again in the tracker's mind....

Kass looks interested at the tracker's suggestion. "Yes! If we get it cold first, then tie the base of it tightly before Uhrr-fhhraah cuts it off, it could keep him from bleeding to death from those strange blood vessels. Or we could poison it as well, as long as the poison doesn't get in Thess...

"Good idea." Kassah says. She walks back over to where the guards have the drover held at swordpoint. "We are going to search around. Just keep him there. And like I said before, if he gives you any trouble..." She draws a finger across her neck. The two guards nod and say "...

On a side note, if I manage to pull of a post tomorrow for Ameena/Beo, its gonna be this late again, cuz I'm gonna be at a function from 9 in the morning to prob 10 at night. Just so you guys know.

Yeah, its CSB based :) For those who may not know, it takes place right around the same time as the start of CSB, to show what happened on the surface. I havent set an actual time like "it was 3 years after DM" cuz I'm not exactly sure how far apart they are, or even if there is any canon ...

Holy crap LOL. That's getting txted to my gaming group! Sssil stares at the misshapen mass on the warrior's chest, trying to dredge up any useful knowledge. Unfortunately, this is so far beyond anything he has ever seen. All that he can come up with is that the tissue is trying to tie itself in wit...

OB, I was wondering what you wanted to do about Ian being gone till Sun? Since I noticed you can't seem to always get on on the weekends, do you wanna only post tomorrow and skip Sat, then Ian can retcon whatever he wants in when he gets back Sim, and I'll edit and then we can be back on track Mon?...

Alright, so now that everyones in game, and this is my first attempt at PbP I wanted to ask (I know Ive asked Beo a few times, but not everyone): How am I doing as a DM? Hows the story, pacing, description, dialogue vs combat ect? Sould things move faster/slower, less description/more, less talking ...

Yes, you will get knocked out if your subdual total is higher then your current HP total. I was gonna have you both roll REF to see if Sssil could get the dagger out of the way or you could avoid it, but I decided it would be funnier to just have you guys do a 3 stooges routine! After all, Beo did ...
