I'd like to know if anyone here is interested in playing some D&D (3rd edition) by e-mail. I did that sometimes (DMing and playing) and it's very fun. Already tried to put together a Hatrack D&D group once, but it didn't work very well at the time (my fault - I had to leave Hatrack for a period). Now, if anyone is interested, I have it all planned. I'll be running a very good adventure called "The Longest Night", which is part of a trilogy called "The Witchfire Trilogy".
I've read the adventure and I think it is a really nice one, albeit a little dark and brooding.
So, I'd like to invite 4 or 5 players interested, who could post at least 2 or 3 times a week (we'll talk about that and character creation later).
Well, that's it. Game, anyone?

Me, me, me, me, me!!!!! (Sung on a perfect A)
Oh goody!
I don't have any books or dice or anything anymore - do I need to go get some?
Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
I'm already up to my eyeballs in a game, or I would, but I just wanted to throw out the idea that rather than do it by e-mail, which takes forever, to do it via a chat program. I played that way in a campaign for several months and it was pretty nice. We tried doing voice over IP, too, but since some of us were on dial-up, it didn't work that well.

Hey man, I tried to play with you last time when it didn't work out. I was puttin some effort into it too, I quite liked my character.
In other words, pick me!

Also, you could try going to that link, then go down to where it says 'seeking players' and try to find more people there if you can't round up enough people here.
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
I know I could go to a D20 specific board, but see...Hatrack is the only forum where I'm posting right now. So, I guess It would be nice to play with some hatrackers. (oh, yes...and I used to read some gaming forums. Trust me, I'd rather not playing to some guys out there)
Last time I had not any problems assembling a game group over here. As I said, It was my fault the game didn't begin, because I had to be away for some time.
Well...2 players already. 2 more and we can begin.
Oh...and nobody needs books nor dice. Playing by chat would be nice, but find a timeframe where everybody would be available could be hard. Let's see, when we have everybody ready.
Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :
Oooh! Ooh! Me! Pick me!
Okay, now that my schoolkid moment is over...I'd be interested. Been interested for a while.
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Shan, prolixshore and Human are already in.
One more and we'll be all set
(I knew it would not be hard to find a group over here)
Oh, just a tiny bit to whet your apetites:
quote: The Witchfire Trilogy introduces a new fantasy world - the Iron Kingdoms. Within the Iron Kingdoms, classic fantasy takes on a new edge, and the PCs will encounter steam power, pistols and cannon almost as often as swords and sorcery.

Question: Do all the D&D classes still apply in this campaign?
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Yup, all 3rd edition classes are still available, although they may have a unique twist (given the quirks of the setting).
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I haven't played D&D for a long time...before the second edition came out...although I was still playing when 2 nd came out, and we stole a lot form it.
I use to love playing magig-users, but one thing I remember hearing is that the magic system was completely revamped....how much difference is there?
I wqould be interested, possibly....
Kwea
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
The magical system isn't very different from what it once was. They kept it so older players "could still recognize the D&D feeling" when playing the new edition.
So, are you in, Kwea?
If you're in, I'll still accept one more player (if there is anyone else interested) and one or two "alternates", who will be lurking (watching) the games and may be called to fill in if some of the players have a problem or something.

Oh, by the way, if you need it, my email is DracoFire87@gmail.com.
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
Magic users fall into 2 distinctive types:
Traditional Wizards - the old magic-users we all know and aim for. They memorize spells beforehand and function much the same as old magic-users.
Sorcerers - they have ingrained magic. It burns in their blood, sometimes literally. They get free spells they can cast at will, but their overall spell selection is limited. Any spell chosen is chosen for life.
As a side note, you can download the d20 rules system for free if you want a reference since the system is "open license."
*Note: this is d20 3.5. I can't tell you how much it differs from 3.0, but be aware there is a difference somewhere.

I like the part about the Gods and the loose histories of teh Races, though.

Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Well...we already have a bard and a Druid. I'd suggest that the three people who still haven't a character take
- at least 1 fighting type (fighter, ranger, paladin or...monk) - at least 1 arcane spellcaster (wizard or sorcerer) - the third could be anything you want, really.
Consider this.
I will not be online tonight (saturday is girlfriend's night, you know), but I'll probably be online for most of the sunday night.
See ya, folks.

Dibs on the wizard...unless you think a fighter would be better, because I am just learning these set of rules...
I don't really care, much...
Kwea
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
The Steamjacks are really some kind of robots. They are driven by magic and steam power.
The firearms are crude, early stuff. They don't use gunpowder to fire, but expensive alchemical products. Only the wealthy or great adventurers commonly use them. Swords, Bows and magic are still the weapons of the day.
Steam power and the efficient labor provided by the steamjacks are driving the Iron Kingdoms to an unprecedent industrial revolution.
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
Yeah well, I posted the 3.5 link earlier in the thread.
The military rifle is probably from "d20 Modern" which is also available as an SRD for free download.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
I'll take the fighter, then. I think I'll be a paladin, if I can get the stats for it. "I am the Sword of the Light!" Or does that not fit with the campaign world?
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Not at all, although religion, in the Iron Kingdoms, have an interesting twist:

Mind if I join as a lurker? I've been away a couple of days and all the parts are snapped up! Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Very good, Morrow it is. Reading the background info, I came up with the following tentative life story : Born in the Protectorate, Garrett rebelled early against its harsh strictures and priesthood. Forced to flee after an argument came to blows, he was taken in by a village priest of Morrow, just across the border in Cygnar, and soon converted to this much more sympathetic religion. However, while you can take the boy out of the (as 'twere) Bible Belt, you cannot take the Bible Belt out of the boy. Garrett's version of Morrow is far sterner than his mentor's, focused more on punishing evildoers and protecting the weak than on internal growth. Bring them the Light!
I hope this meets with your approval? If so, I'll flesh it out a bit more. If not, I can come up with something else. And perhaps even a slightly more original name.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I will take the wizard then, if it isn't too different from what I remember.
Is there a link to the newer magic rules and classes?
I like the idea of inborn magic, it seems more real...as real as something like that can be, anyway. If magic was just words and gestures, it would be too easy to do, and would be more widespread.
But I don't know which set of restrictions would be good for theis coampain, and I don't know which type I would rahter play...the wizard I am use to, or a new type althogether.....
Although I also have some unused background stories that I can adapt to this world...
hmmm....
Kwea
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
The one with inborn magic would be the Sorceror. He don't have to prepare spells in advance, like the wizard, and can cast many spells per day, but he know only few spells (so re repeat spells a lot).
Kwea, you can follow the link TMedina kndly provided. There you'll find all the new D&D rules.
And...King of Men, I'm proud to aprove your character's story! It's very good, and will help a lot with the adventure's plot!

Although I haven't fleshed it out completely, because I was waiting to know more about the story, I'm thinking my druid character rejected the aims and structures of his society (cygnar) in particular the overuse of machines. He runs away....meets hermit druid who takes him under his wing...years pass...
well you get the picture, ill fill in more later as long as you have no problem with this.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Thanks, I'll write up a fuller story. When I think about it, I think that fight was over a girl. Possibly (gasp) alcohol was involved. I wonder if she still likes Garrett? But most likely she was sent off to a nunnery.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
I e-mailed Eduardo with a question - I don't have/do AIM. Is this a problem? If so, I'll lurk and allow those more technologically proficient do their stuff -
Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
I'm only guessing shan, but I think you should be fine. It's my understanding that this will mostly be done over email. We were using AIM to roll dice for stats, but I'm sure you can do that yourself or eduardo can do it for you, whatever he decides. (Eduardo, please forgive me, I am acting like I'm in charge again. Bad habit on my part I guess.)
That's my understanding of it, but if I'm wrong, I'm sure Mr. Sauron will correct it. He is out with his girlfriend tonight as I understand it. I wish I was....too bad she went away for the weekend.

Mm...I think my character will have been a street rat from the poorer sections of Caspia, who survived on petty theft and the occasional bit of street-performance until an old bard recognized his talent and took him in.
After the old man died, he's been wandering around, performing for his room and board, but is getting bored...perhaps looking for a bigger adventure.
And no, he doesn't have a name yet...names are the hardest part.
Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :
I wish I knew howto play. From what I've heard its really fun. I don't want to slow down your game thoguh so I'll find someone to teach me and play another time.
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
It's a lot more fun in person and easier to learn - although since this is a play-by-chat/email game, it wouldn't be that complicated to learn.
Check out the multiple links to the free rules and give them a read. It's not complicated once you've skimmed the basics once or twice.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
Damn it, is it too late to join? I've DMed third edition for five years. But there's never been anyone to DM for me! I've wanted to play forever, anychance I could slip in?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Well, I could always sit out, I guess. I don't really know the rules, although I just read up on them a bit.
I remember how it was when I DM'd years ago; no one else wanted the responsibility, they just wanted all the fun parts of playign.
If Eduardo doen't have room for you Alcon, I might be willing to be the floater, just so that I learn how to do this under the new rules.
Well, new to me rules...
We need some sort of magic-user, and that is one area that is fairly different from 2nd edition. I might be better off playing a simple ranger character, or a rogue. Those characters seem to be pretty much the same as I remember, and I played a lot of them back then....when I could get out of DMing, that is.
Would you be willing to play some sort of magic-ucer for them? Either a wizard or a sorcerer would work.....
And I will either be the fill in, or run a ranger or rogue.
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Hi again, folks. First of all: I usually DM for groups of 6 to 7 people. Unfortunatelly, such numbers would be too much for the "Witchfire Trilogy" (I'd have to revamp encounters and NPC levels, and it's a pain). So, the 5 players max is still on.
Once again, the first ones to call dibs were Human (who already have his character sheet ready), prolixhore (who already rolled his character), Kwea, King of Men (whith a cool paladin concept) and Shan.
Alcon and Mabus are listed as lurkers.
If some of you'd like to change places (such as Alcon / Kwea) that's your thing, but please tell me as soon as you solve it, ok?
As characters go, we already have:
Human - Human/Bard Prolixhore - Human(?)/Druid King of Men - Human/Paladin Kwea - (?) Shan - (?)
Shan, if you don't have AIM, we can play solely by e-mail ,that's no problem. But, just a question...there is no possibility you can download and install AIM? It's really easy (and free), you know.
Ah, yes...I'm creating an Yahoogroups mailing list, so we can start doing gaming stuff out there. You'll receive my invitation soon.
Alcon and Kwea, please, decide which of you will play and who will lurk, ok? Ah...I'm already typing the basics of the scenario ("The Longest Night" is supposed to be an introduction to the "Iron Kingdoms" world, so the information I'm typing + the ones you'll find in the Iron Kingdoms Homepage (I provided the link earlier) is enough to play.). I'll send the Info as soon the mailing list is all set. I'd put it here, but since I'm copying from the adventure, I don't know if there would be copyright issues.
Well, that's it for now. When you receive the invitation to the mailing list, please answer as soon as you can.
(Oh, yes...does anyone out there would like to enter the list as a spectator, just to read the messages?)
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Hi again.
Already created the e-mail list. It is called D&D Hatrack. I sent everybody but King of Men an invitation to join the list.
King of Men, unfortunatelly I don't have your e-mail adress. Could you please send it to me? If you don't want to post it here, you can e-mail me (my address is in my forum profile) or you can go to The D&D Hatrack list homepage and register yourself.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Hi Eduardo -
AIM crashes my computer - I've tried a couple of times. It sounds like other folks might really want to play that way and I don't want to be a stickler . . . if folks are okay with e-mail, I'd love to participate, otherwise, I can change places with a lurker?
Let me know what works for the group as a whole.
Also, did you receive the e-mail I sent?
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
I received your e-mail, Shan.
About the AIM thing: don't worry. We have no idea yet if the time schedule would work for us playing by chat. Play by e-mail games are easier because of this: people can play each in their own time table (although yes...it takes longer to solve stuff. Combat can be a little boggy).
Come over to the mailing list. As soon as everybody is out there, we can start discussing things like that.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Okey-dokey!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Alcon, what do you say? Do you want in, or do you want to lurk?
They have some magic for back-up proposes, but they need a magic-user of some flavor.
I am willing to try it, but if you are comefortable with the magic system and playing a magic-user for them I would be cool with lurking...as long as I get dibs on playing in the next one....
But if I don't hear from you by tonight, I am assuming I am playing, and will roll a character up with Eduardo as soon as feasable.
I have an idea for a background too, but it is just an idea at this point.
Let me know ASAP please...

I suppose that's what I get for dropping out of life in the late 80's . . . Alcon, unless Eduardo has other ideas, take my spot, and I am going to electronically hover over shoulders and try to get up to speed.
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
Shan, take a peek at the free SRD documents - most of it is intuitive and not really all that complicated.
Each attribute has a bonus calculated as (stat/2) -5. Round down to the nearest whole number.
19-18: +4 17-16: +3 15-14: +2 etc.
So, an 18 gets a +4 bonus. All melee attacks receive a +4 str bonus to damage.
Any skill based on Strength will also receive a +4 bonus in addition to any skill points you've already spent on that skill.

This piece of paper I have in front of me says that you already chose, Kwea (after a grueling decision-making process) Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I did take far too long at it, but I warned all of you....it wasn't the decisions that were hard, it was the fact that I don't know what half of this stuff is! It is a lot different than the 2 nd edition D&D that I played 20 years ago.
I found it very funny that I rememebered as much as I did. I could still list all the major attributes, and remembered most of the hit dice and damage dice for most weapons.
But I have never even seen a skill list, or had to worry about feats.
Sorry.
Playability is probably about the same as it was, so it won't take any longer than usual...at least I hope not.
So I now have a Ranger, who MAY multiclass as a rogue later on. My stats are OK....not real good, but not the worse character I have ever played.
I will work on my background later tonight, once I get back to my house and my own computer.

I still exist, and my ISP seems to have much improved my connection after I spoke to them on the phone. I am now getting web pages nine out of ten, instead of one of five. I'm online right now.

Very cool....we were waiting for you, but we knew you were having problems with your connection.
Hope you get it up and running for tonight.

Sorry, but writting "To tell you what you want to listen so you'll vote for me" didn't have the same appeal, Scott.

I would love to be a spectator. I played the original D&D and AD&D (is that version 2?) quite a bit and DMed it some. About a year ago I played Neverwinter Nights, and it is version 3, so I am at least a little familar with version 3.

4 Kills, despite being the weakest in terms of stats here! (spell casting rocks!)
So 4 minus 1 for friendly fire, score of 3, tied for top!! Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Too bad Gunner won't let you celebrate.and he might think his cavaneer is more than a simple -1 for your kill list....
Besides, you have to divide it by 2, betwee you and your Owl familiar.
I, on the other hand, killed 3, and stopped the rain of arrows...and the fog machine.

No, they aren't..just one initiave roll.....you still divide by two, of maybe 1 1/2.

Eduardo, I have posted all of the stuff you sent me to http://www.sakeriver.com/ironkingdom/. I'll try to be timely with posting whatever you send me but I should mention a few things. First, my Internet time is pretty limited on the weekends and holidays, so most likely you'll have to wait until a workday for me to post anything you send me on a weekend. Also, while I will try to make everything as nice as possible, if you could help me out by lumping everything for each entry into a single file that would help me out a lot.
Thanks!

Thanks, Saxon! I'll try to do as you say, you may be sure!

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Is that 10 in the EST?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
We MAY need someone to fill in for the paladin tonight....talk to Eduardo if interested.
Kwea
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Well, role playing defiantly takes a bit longer on-line than IRL, but it has been cool so far.
In case anyone wants to play the next time, I think Teamspeak might be a way to speed things up...perfect for a small group, 4-5 people. Any more than that gets tough, as we all talk all over each other.
But everyone who is playing needs it, of it isn't a good alternative.
I would say chat is a must though.
And Eduardo is a fair DM, which is good to know. I like to play, and attention to detail is a must, but when I say " Rathen puts his money away", I don't need a DM to say later on " Oh, you didn't say where, so you left it there".
Some DM's are that picky, and while I know that it is important to be specific, you can go too far with that. If I say that I never leave my room without my weapons, should I have to say that I take them every time?
Not unless something out of the ordinary is happening...like a night attack, or if I run after someone without my bow....
Eduardo is fair, and doesn't go for the cheap shot like that. If I say I want to carry something in my pack, he lets me know if I don't have the room for it...and tells me my options.
I respect that a lot more than the alternative...and anyone who has gamed knows what I mean, I think.
So thanks, Eduardo, for being fair....as a first time on-line gamer, it matters more than you could know to me.
And trust me, the gamers notice these things...which is probably why you will have to beat off people next time you want to run another game...

The update you sent me is now posted.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I think I can...I don't work tomorrow night, I work in the morning for this whole week.
I really can't do Sundays though...I spoke to my friend that I play pool with every Sunday, and he was lukewarm at best about rearranging our pool time. It is free on Sunday nights, at leat for us, but any other night we would have to pay for it...and his other nights are full up with leagues and such.
quote: well..."accidents" might happend
What do you mean "might"....lol

I mean...you use it to work...maybe to church...but not to play D&D with your friends...I'm deeply hurt.
Now, seriously: At least, post an e-mail with your reaction to that symbol Rathen recognized, and your intentions (entering, not entering...)

People, next game will be tonight, 10/19 - 9 PM (CST).
I'll bring the pizza. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
That will be one hell of a delivery bill, Ed...
See you tonight!
Kwea
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Do you think so (about the delivery bill)? Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Kwea, we're already there! Hope you can make it!
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Game tonight (9 PM CST), nice people! I'll be waiting for you
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Alcon, we already begun!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Ed, sorry to blow you off at the end there. I was on Hatrack reading a really good thread, adn didn't see your message.
Do me a favor, ols...when asking me to roll for something, please tell me how many to roll...it will avoind mess ups like that again.
I still think the first roll should have counted, as it was an honest mistake, and it is easy to tell which number was rolled first...
IRL, you would have seen me prep the dice, and told me I only had one attack, probably. On-line it is tough enough because we can't see each other...
I know you weren't being Unfair, it just sucked a bit....but you are a very good DM so i know I am probably off base here...lol.
That is what I get for rolling too well on rolls that don't count...

Hey Ed, really sorry I missed tonights games. When I originally put up that away message I thought I was just going over to a friends house to help her install AIM and maybe to talk and catch up for a bit, but during the Aim set up another of our friends IMed us, and really needed us to be there for her. So there we were. The three of us ended up talking until about 10 minutes ago. I'm really sorry I've missed way too many games Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
We've noticed.
That is why you are now a NPC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Just Kidding! Kwea

Game today, guys. 9 PM (CST). Hope everyone can make it, this time.
Oh, and Kwea is an evil old man, isn't he?

Alcon, O almost invisible sorcerer, will you be able to play tonight? We're already there, you know... Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
Sorry guys, I was only half there... it was moving night tonight. I have to switch every week from one parents house to the other. Tonight was going the direction (from moms to dads) that I really don't like going. My dad... has problems. I'll just leave it at that. So I was only half there cause I had to pack, and I was in a really really bad mood because I hate moving night, and I hate it especially when it means going to my dads house. Thanks for not killing me (Metaphorically and actually in the game).
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
No, no, you got it all wrong....
Ed said he was going to kill ME...
And has done so, twice, despite great rolls from me (he just makes me roll again) and from me rolling for you (he rolls for you AFTER I have, and somehow always gets a 2... )
Nice DMing, Ed...as usual..
***disclaimer***...I am just kidding, sort of, as Ed is really one of the better DM's I have played with in 15 years.
Wait...I haven't PLAYED in 15 years....that explains it...

Just be glad you gave me that healing potion Kwea. Otherwise I would have died in the first round of attacks. And that could be bad since I slaughtered one bat on my own and finished off the one everyone else had hit. Might have been a difficult trek back to town with two or three of us dying.
Evil, evil dm's.

You know...I really contemplated having the swamp shamblers reach you...but I thought it would be really sad making 5 grown-up males screaming like little girls into the night...
Hey, wait! You did scream like little girls during the razorbats encounter!
Hehehe... just kidding, folks. You played really well, as usual. And Kwea, I'll really try to state when and what you have to roll, before you do, so we can avoid most "roll again" situations, ok?
And remember, guys...the enemy gate is down! Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Game today 9 PM (CST). Be there, folks!
I'm looking foward to it. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Ed, I am really just messing with you. We should decide if one of us is going to roll for any absent players though, as that did happen last time, for real.
I rolled a 17 for Alcon, you rolled a miss.
I have been catching on to what to roll though, but it is a bit different compared to what i use d to do. A lot of the structure is the same, enough that I feel comfortable with events...and then something like that comes up and suprises me.
It has still been a lot of fun though, and i enjoy playing with you as a DM.
Even if you do cheat.
See you all tonight.
Kwea
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Ed, are we playing Tuesday night? It is election day here in the US, but I still wnat to play. The election sites close before we play here, so we should be fine!
Kwea
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
November 2 would be a fitting day. It's "finados" day here in Brazil. A Holiday to honor the dead. So...I think we should play, if everyone is ok with it.
I'll provide nice RIP messages for you all Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
I would like to request that we don't play on election day, actually. We are having a large party that night, so I would miss the game. And I'd rather not miss two games in a row when things are just starting to get going. So, if possible, could we postpone the next game a day or two? or have it monday night? I'd appreciate it. Plus, what good is a game without Tec?
--ApostleRadio
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
I don't know the time I'll be home monday night. So, I d' rather not scheduling it to monday. Well...let's see what the other guys (Alcon, Human and King of Men) think about playing on tuesday.
And if everyone vote for not playing, and only doing it next thursday, that's no problem, either way.
Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
Sorry for bein a pain about it ed, but this party is something we have been planning all semester. Elections are great excuses for parties! lol.
--ApostleRadio
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I can't do it tonight, or on Monday night either.
Kwea
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
I would prefer not to play on Monday. Skipping Tuesday is OK with me.
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
Skipping tuesday is fine with me too, I can wait till thursday. Specially with an election to keep me busy on tuesday.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I don't want to skip, I want to play! We are just getting to the good stuff!

People, I have so much homework and other work this week, even Thursday is looking bad. Sorry.
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Game today 9 PM (CST), folks! See ya!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
OK, what is the deal THIS week? Are we going to play again this week, or can I go to my pool tournament on Thursday?
Kwea
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
I'm all for playing! And hopefully this time around, I'll be present in mind enough to actually play... Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Me too! If Ed has another mystery illness I will fill in for him...

Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
Let's play, before we all forget what we were doing. Hopefully everyone can make it this week.
--ApostleRadio
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Ok, ok...stop the teasing already . I'm back
Nobody will forget anything, because every gaming session was posted to the yahoo group.
Game today, 9 PM CST.
I'll be online around 8 PM, so we could solve buying/selling stuff, allright?
Again, sorry for the last weird couple of weeks.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Sounds like a plan to me, Ed. Glad to see you are feeling better, and I am looking forward to playing tonight.
I work until 8 pm, EST, so I will try to log on for 9pm, which is yous 8 pm...
That way I can get the shopping done.
Kwea
Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
Woohoo! Welcome back ed. See ya tonight.
--ApostleRadio
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Friends, game today 21 PM (CST). Yes, I know we tried to start earlier, and all...but Human really can't play, if we begin 20 PM. So, I think it would be unfair with him.
Of course, I will twack him forcefully if he does not appear again (without a good excuse like the ones I made u...uhn...had).
So...see ya!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Whatever works for you Ed....sorry it isn't earlier for you though.
Hey, you mentioned a new GF in another thread, didn't you? What is the scoop on that, huh?
Kwea
Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
I keep waiting and waiting ed...will tonight finally be the night you kill off that pesky ranger fella? You've tried to before, but always pull away at the last second. C'mon, he is annoying.
--ApostleRadio
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
You know how these old gamers are lucky, man...but I'll keep trying! Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I don't know if anyone is planning on playing tonight, but it is Thanksgiving, so I won't be there....
Even if anyone else shows up this time.
Kwea
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
OK, hopefully this week it will work better.....
Two computers and two modems later, right Ed?
Kwea
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Yes. Now I have to watch out for the power shortages. The rainy season has begun over here. Spent the whole Sunday afternoon without eletricity because the rain and winds fell a tree near my home (which hit and torn the power lines).
But hopefully nothing of the sort will happend this tuesday Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
Rain is for fools!
Hopefully it will work out. See you guys tomorrow.

Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
I'm there, waiting for you guys.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
You're only a week late.... Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
You see? That's why I almost killed your character tonight Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
You are worse than Cieran...he at least hit something tonight!
BTW folks, next time you trap me in a doorway remember this:
In addition to an attack, you get a 5' move each round....you could have backed off the first round.
Doh!
Kwea
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Game tonight (12/02/2004), folks. 9 PM (CST) as usual! I'll be waiting for you! Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Good thing you didn't say "I'll be waiting for you as usual.", or we wouldn't have know if that meant there IS or ISN'T a game.... Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Ha ha, that was so funny! Oh, wait, it wasn't!
But I was taught we should be nice to eldery people, so I will pretend it was funny
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Sorry I missed last night...the cold meds I am on got me really tired, ad I forgot we were playing....I thought it was a Wed night for some reason...lol...
So...do I need to roll a new character?
Kwea
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
Yeah, I missed too... forgot we were playing and didn't see the e-mail and went to bed at 9:30! If only I'd stayed up another half an hour Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Hi people, terribly sorry I missed Tuesday. I just plain forgot. Which goes to show, I should be more careful about looking down on people, because I admit I was feeling a bit smug at being the one who always showed, and a touch contemptuous of the 'I forgot' excuse. Anyway, sorry, hope Garrett survived, see you tomorrow.
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
KoM, since Kwea and I would have some problems to attend, we won't be playing tonight. We'll play next tuesday and then we'll have a break till after the holidays.
So, next game will be the last of 2004. Let's party! Bring refreshments!
Oh, yes...Garrett is alive. I'll be posting all the chats before the next game, and then you'll see what happened.
Bye!
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Game today, people? For myself, I would prefer Thrusday, as I am feeling a cold coming on.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Either works for me, although today is better as that pool tournament is Thursdays..since I have been playing in it again I have won $100 at it.
Kwea
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
I'm all for putting it off till thursday. I was planning on hitting the sack early tonight in preparation for school starting again.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Fine then....no game tonight, anyway.
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
Ed you there? You alright?
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
Hi, guys. I'd like to set up our next game for tomorrow, 9 PM (CST). Can everybody be there?
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
I **THINK** so.
The next question is: Do I still have my character sheet? O_O
[ January 19, 2005, 05:00 PM: Message edited by: Alcon ]
Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
If you don't have it, I can post you the data. No prob.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Ed, I wasn't sure if we were playiso I made plans for this Thursday...I guess you can play me in bubble mmode if you need to.
To be honest I don't know if I am going to be free on Thrusdays from now on...I have been playing pool in the tournament, and winning money, so I want to keep playing.
Kwea
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
So whats going on? Are we just playing tuesdays now? Are we playing other days? I missed last thursday my sleep schedual was really of and I collapsed into bed pretty early. I'm still game to try again, just need a reminder of when.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
No one was here on Tuesday..at least Ed was missing again, and we can't game without him.
I cam't play in Thrusdays, but Tuesdays are still good for me...how about everyone else?
Kwea
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
My schedule is heating up a bit, in fact I have recently acquired a social life, so I wouldn't mind if we started playing Tuesdays only.
