Dunno, I think LeHah's Star Wars game is going a little bit slower

On a related note, I got an itch to play on the other side of the DM's screen for a change and so I signed up for a PbP over at ENWorld. The DM sends me a PM, tells me my character's locked in a box. I tell him I want to break out of the box. He says I can't. I tell him I wanna tip the box over. He says I can't. I say I wanna yell real loud until some other asshole opens this fucking box. He says nobody hears me.

Eventually I get out of the fucking box (all 5 players were locked in boxes, I shit you not) and then we spent literally an entire month standing around introducing ourselves to each other before I gave up and just deleted my bookmark and never looked back

"No fair! I'm telling Mom. :mad:"

I seem to remember Ayos saying he wanted to try running a game of Werewolf.

One will get you ten that game is going slowest of all.

Somewhere, ReclusiveWriter is running a "mature" campaign of Big Eyes, Small Mouth

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Just for the sake of curiosity, how did everyone get out of the boxes?

too soon

still propped in anticipation for it being not too soon anymore

Rocks fall.

EverySomebody dies.

As long as it's not a man-eating gazebo.

Hey. Ghandi is anti-violence, NOT anti-comedy.

So like, Pang. what's the flammability of the ale Glock tossed out on the bridge, assuming we break open the keg and liberally spread the contents all over Gorg? :tpg:

Have you ever tried to set beer on fire?

But... but...

Actually no, I haven't.

Poor Zerg. Thwarted by common sense.

Again.

Stupid common sense, always ruining my plans :mad:

So you were rp-ing Saw?

The current team's fondness for planning, basic understanding of the rules and a willingness to actually read any of the manuals certainly seems to have made them much harder to kill then the original Horde. We never would have made it past the angry dwarf in the forge without loss, let alone across the fortified bridge. Nobody in the G-Unit's even been reduced to zero hitpoints yet have they?

Not in this adventure, no. But in fairness to the Horde, I must say that battles probably ran faster in their day. You had a walking tank (Argumentus), two very-strong damage-dealing dwarves (Motsognir and the Tobogganer) and a ranged striker that does area attacks (Bob).

Plus, Bob's mage hand ability would have easily bypassed the barricaded door, I think. The current team seems to specialize in unorthodox solutions to problems - still pretty much amazed at how strong bluff and diplomacy is.

Combo armadillo football is pretty inspired too.

We were quite a traditional DnD party certainly. If anything though, that limited our options outside of smashing things up when it came to fights. Wizard utility spells certainy make traps and puzzles a lot easier and Bob's decent knowledge skills meant we knew a bit more about the world around us without having to read the books but our main combat approach was always going to be wade in and attack things until they or we died.

I'm sure that if we spent a little time more planning things and a bit less writing mini-novels about unrequited gay love we would have made a slightly more efficient fighting force though. Skills and Acer's inventiveness is a whole different kettle of fish mind you, I'm enjoying the thread just as much as an onlooker as I did as a player.

I had Acer on the ropes for a second there, but Skills time-paradoxed it away from me.

But let's be fair, they've just been fighting dwarves. Dwarves don't know how to kill anything. http://www.saxypunch.com/miscimg/emot-smug.gif

Hardly. The party probably has a higher average damage per round now than at any time in the past now that it actually has Strikers in it. Look how fast you guys killed Helga. She got to do each of her signature attacks once, then boom.

Can someone explain to me why something would work the THIRD TIME if it didn't the FIRST OR SECOND TIMES?

Next Week: G-Unit attempts to negotiate with the tarrasque

Because third time's the CHARM, baby.

Except for when it comes to Pang, it seems :(

Also Tarrasques are easy. Those red elder dragons that are bitches.

:mad:
