Subject: no doubt
I like paladins of non-stereotypical deities (i.e., not just generic goodness, or justice, etc). In my games, the paladin must follow his ethos to the letter - that aspect of paladinhood is unchanged - but that ethos may not necessarily be lawful good.
Indeed, Oriana - Audalis' goddess of love, beauty, and passion - is chaotic good, bordering on chaotic neutral. Which means a holy warrior (paladin) of her following could be a hopeless romantic... or an absolute playa-playa, and still be living the right life, so to speak.
I always turn to one of my favorite examples: a paladin of Shinara (Audalis' goddess of luck). Talk about fun. Chaotic neutral, spur of the moment, "wherever the wind may blow me" attitude paladins!

With a team, the other players field balls you have hit.
With one on one batting practice, like the extra practice my son and I did last night, you bring an entire bucket of baseballs, pitch them all, then pick them up once you are done. Otherwise, you spend hours chasing the ball.
**smites Alacrity** You say everything would be better on ice!

I will admit that I HATE font color changes in my threads - I ask players to use italics, bold, etc, but PLEASE don't change font colors.
But this is not my thread.

Talent is defintiely part of it - he has that, there's no doubt. However, he's not at all a big kid (one of the smallest on his regular team, much less the all star team), and was the youngest player on his regular team.
The secret has been good old fashioned hard work. Last night, for instance, we practiced two hours with the team. Everyone else went home, but as we packed our gear, Caleb asked me if we could stay and hit some more. He had made good contact during batting practice, but had not hit for much power.
So we worked on it for another half hour until he was consistently ripping balls into the outfield again.
I'm hoping that this sort of thing will prove to be a valuable life lesson for him - when you consistently work hard and apply yourself, good things happen.

What they hey. I'm gonna play proud papa here.
My son has played dixie youth baseball since he was four years old. He's always been a good player, but has never quite managed to put together a season that lived up to his potential. He has always tended to kill the ball when hitting in practice, but then get nervious in games, and not perform anywhere near of what he is capable.
This year (he is nine), that all changed. He hit consistently, and hit for real power. He was one of the elite hitters not only on his team, but one of the best in his league - especially nice considering he moved up to a new age group this year, and was the youngest player on his team. Add to that that he has been an effective pitcher, but better, an excellent (no daddy bias here) catcher, and it was a great year.
He was a unianimous selection to the league's all star team - something he has hoped for, but never accomplished in the past (made alternate once, but never made the team before). It appears that he will be the team's starting catcher... he is excited.
He has another year in this league; if he continues to work hard (which he has - we have put in MANY extra hours of practice, many times at his urging, not mine), he has a chance to be a dominant player next year. It is good to see that work pay off, and I am proud of him.

As for those of you on the list - make sure you get me the rest of your info. Several of you are missing details of some sort. If you are unsure, please PM me.
I will shortly start a Q&A thread for our out of game conversations, as well as an actual game thread in the D&d section.
Glad to have you, victi...er...players!

To the Audalis wargame? We sufferred the site crash, and that got the wargame, too. Funny you should ask, however... I recently got a full restore up. However, I have had no time to spend on development, and there are a few things I'd like to do before I ask for testers to return.
But it is not dead.

Subject: trees good! fire BAD!
Arien enters the room to find his friends hard pressed by both Greens and green men. Since they seem to be currently handling the former, he goes after the latter, apparently with more success than his comrades have enjoyed thus far.
Attacking the tree-men brings back memories of Duke Antonio and the various abominations encountered there. Why is it that men feel the need to conduct such horrific experiments against the very laws of nature itself?
Having seen how his flaming blade affects the green men, the knight feels confident, but by no means cocky - the decapitated bullywug cast aside like so much garbage is testament to the damage these creatures can obviously deal. Still, the field never goes to the timid, but to the bold and the brave. He will not shirk away from these monsters.
Arien will, obviously, fight until he either wins or is unable to continue. He will press the attack, hoping not only to maximize his damage, but to keep the beasties from attacking his comrades. Time to carry his weight here!

Topic: yet another movie thread...
Subject: **warning! save time from your life!*
Last weekend, I made a terrible mistake - I actually paid money to see the movie "Bug". The critics had given it pretty good reviews, the public less so, but I figured, what the hey? Horror movie? Invisible bugs under your skin? I can dig it!
Well, let me warn you now - save your money and the two hours of your life. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!
Spoliers follow, so beware! That being said, you should probably read them - I don't believe in spoilers, normally.
The scene from the trailer that shows the guy with the bug crawling under his skin? Does not exist in the actual film at any point in time. Yep, nothing but a trailer bit, made to bring in viewers. In other words, false advertisement.
This movie is NOT about killer bugs in any shape, form, or fashion. What is IS about is a paranoid schitzophrenic who manages to get a very lonely woman sucked into his delusions.
This movie is NOT a horror flick in any shapem form, or fashion. It IS a wannabe pshycological thriller (and I use th eterm loosely).
The crazy guy is kinda cool in a quirky way, but.... eegh. The movie resorts to showing more than a tiny bit of nudity in an effort to keep your attention, but it still fails miserably. This was the closest I have ever come to leaving a theatre once I have paid for tickets. The most entertainment I had during this film was from the loud teenagers around us who kept mocking the complete stupidity that was Bug.

My mistake. When I saw your character class filled in as "barbarian", I assumed warrior, and kinda glossed over the clerical stuff. If Addy does come through with a druid, we'll have healing galore!

I personally would have recommended going with a rogue, but no one submitted one. If I got an awesome submision, I suppose I could bump th eparty up to six members.
Jozan is playing the half orc barbarian - check the first page of this thread for an updated roster.

No magic items at third level. Remember, I see Audalis as a relatively low magic world, at least in regards to permanent magic items.
