[DnD] D&D Discussion & Enlistment (Save Ends)

If we go through too many more fights without Beefi getting injured, the mace is going to leave I fear. Next time I'll specify that the losers of the contest have to explode into harmless chunks at the end of it.

I see Howard as a more long-term companion than St Cuthbert anyway, although the more NPCs we get on board the better at this point.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Unless the mace is somehow bound to Beefi, you could hand it off to Slim if he wanted it. The mace would probably approve of his smashing-based approach to problem solving.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well I think it'll come round a bit should Beefi actually do some skeleton smashing, he's pretty good at it once he gets going.

Of course I'm going to go out of my way to make sure he doesn't ever fight anything but that's half the fun of the game innit?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Apparently nobody cares about rituals (surprise surprise), so I'll just skip the details there!

Not to alarm anybody, this certainly isn't anything I'm going to change in the immediate future* — but is anybody, say, really attached to D&D as a rules system? I'm not looking to change the general campaign feel or anything, but there are plenty of other systems we could use for what is basically an everything-goes fantasy sandbox — systems with combat that's a little less, uh, fiddly and slow.

Ok that and Hawk has basically succeeded me as Remedial RPG Instructor and maybe we could move on to something a little less mainstream? Sperg sperg

*Tomb of Horrors is kind of a long-ass adventure you may have noticed.

RIFTS RIFTS RIFTS!!! It already has sentient dog people as a core race you so can have corgi's right out of the box!

But seriously I'm down with anything as long as I can play a midgety psychotic.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm happy to go to an alternate system. RIFTS, RuneQuest, whatever.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Right, since Slim went back for them here's the rituals such as they are




How ya doing, buddy?

I know I said we wouldn't be making the system changeover anytime soon, but I found a ruleset that fits our needs so well it'd be a shame to delay any longer. I'll fill you in on rules details later, but for now here are your updated character sheets:

Beefi Kertanz
Garoldine Fangus
Gra-Fa-Zoë
Samantha Shadowspade
Uxig "Shirley" Uxigson

Any questions, just let me know!

I stopped paying attention and everybody turned into fairies. Okay...I can dig it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh right I need to convert over all the inactive characters too

Cordelia of Zark
Gwen McCormick
Marimba McSteelchest
Pollyanna of Rhee
Puyetta

I was speaking idiomatically.

You, sir, have far too much time on your hands. I've got a bunch of reading and assignment-writing for you to do. It's due Monday. I'll send you a link with more details in the morning.

I'm not quite sure how to feel about the fact that this rules system even exists. I'm halfway between perplexed, horrified, and very, very sad with the state of the world.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This is the best D&D game EVER.

FELIPE NO

Aww shit. I was in the hospital on the first. I missed something amazing, didn't I?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You know, much as I'm enjoying this little 1-on-1 with Shin I suspect it would be faster to just send him some old Choose Your Own Adventures.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sorry, having a rough week. Was in the hospital from Tuesday night to Saturday afternoon after vomiting blood. And today one of my pet rats died.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

5 Dice Rolls *hmm4

No, I meant, like, everybody except you.

You're cool.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sorry, Pang. Was dealing with a promotion and a bunch of new stuff at work. I'm back now, though. I was reading, just not participating. (also, not hating.)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Considering how I made a post a couple of pages back about being away from a steady connection, I'd hope I was excused.


It's been a shitty couple of weeks.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, I got two indifferent answers and no negatives on the system-change question so I've decided to consider that a Wildly Positive Response. That being said: wvlf is rotating out after this adventure, but would the rest of you prefer:

A: I try to convert your character as-is to the new system, with all the rough edges and weird inconsistencies that implies.

B: You just make a new guy.

If you don't answer I'm defaulting to B, so let me know.

We're probably doing Warhammer FRP if that helps you decide.

Most amazing jew boots

I'd really have to give the new system a look over before I could decide that. To be quite honest I've become somewhat attached to the psychotic little bugger I've got now though.

Mayhaps something comically impossible in that setting like a lizard man warpriest.


Though it might be fun to do something that's not even medieval fantasy.

FELIPE NO

Ahahahaha, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is the greatest game ever, I'm definitely making a new character (Seeing as how you don't really get skills like in Dnd I don't think Beefi would translate too well anyway, plus the random career generation in WFR is hilarious).

Cette, WFR lends itself well to psychotic bastards, there's a neat critical table you roll on when you get someone below 0 health that can lead to lost limbs, disembowelment and decapitation. Only downside is it works the same way for player characters and if you think the DnD economy is stingy, you can save up for months in WFR just to get a suit of leather armour only to be messily exploded by a wizard you looked at funny in the pub the day before you buy it.

I'll have to find my copy of it, it's up in the loft somewhere (1st edition, I believe they revamped it a few times).

Additional Spam:
Also, if this is to be Beefi's final hurrah, I believe a little leeway in the roleplaying would be permissable because I'm fucked if I'm letting that dragon get first swing at me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'll make my own dude. It will be like a Dudesplosion.

No homo.

Most amazing jew boots

I guess a new character for me then. Seekers don't seem terribly exciting beyond the occasional bee swarm, and it sounds like converting him would be a major pain.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't think any amount of comedy wrestling moves are going to kill this dragon in six hits, especially if I keep missing. I should have picked a more realistic target to aim for.

Still, if Beefi somehow manages to kill it before you guys get involved then his position in Badass Valhalla is assured at least.

Additional Spam:
Oh yeah, do we have action points at the moment?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think we do. This is our first encounter after an extended rest, right? Smoke 'em if you got em.
