Topic: Open Game Slot ~ What do YOU want to play?
Subject: westeros
This topic has been quite for a wile so I'm going to suggest a game set in Westeros, an all human and no magic style game where our characters have to use their wits and smarts to survive.
EDIT: Done some looking arround. There are RPGs based on the A Song of Ice and Fire book series and the A Game of Thrones book.
EDIT 2: Yes, I have suggested this because of the Winter is Coming comic. I read the comic, then re-watched Game of Thrones, and am now trying to get a Game of Thrones game running.

Topic: Open Game Slot ~ What do YOU want to play?
Subject: opertunities
I know that this would be a great chance to ask for some interesting and exotic game... but for some reason I just fancy a bog standard 3.5 D&D game.
Well... maybe not bog standard. Some home rules to mix things up would be nice
Some sort of faction based game would work in D&D right? That might be cool. You know, PCs working for a common goal that isn't fame, glory or money but because of some other cause or reason.
EDIT: Some other cause or reason that isn't "an evil wizard attacked the village" or some obvously D&D thing, more a cause or reason that is more human... if you get what I mean

Topic: Something with a challenge.
Subject: dark souls
Not a clue what a dark souls game would involve so some background would be fantastic but I'd be up for it I think. I've a character I'd like to play as well, but I do have a proviso... you'd need to be OK with me disappearing to Malaysia for a couple of weeks before Easter.

Topic: worst DM/GM blunders
Subject: hum...
You could say that only a bad player complains about his/her DM/GM... but I do have some general advise.
1) DON'T GIVE SPOLIERS, perticularly if they could lead to metagaming.
2) DON'T LET METAGAMING SLIDE, if someone metagames or breaks charcter without reasonable IC justification punish them.
3) DON'T LET THE PARTY GET UBER RICH, and then don't let them buy cool stuff that lets them pawn everything.
Also: remember the names your significant NPCs. Having three "Mr. Plot"s or "Mrs. Plot"s is not good, and neither is having to as your players for their names...

Topic: The Monster Hunters Collective
Subject: Reply, in the nick of time
Jethro had been greeted by Geron as a son, he had asked, but less asked and more checked, if Jethro was ready to risk his life. Jethro's answer was simple, although he kept it in his head. You risk yourself each time you get out bed for ta day. To Geron his response was a simple nod, and then to the question "Is that agreeable?” Jethro answered "Yes." before leaving the inn like those before him. Returning to the guard house that had been his home for the last few days he took out his things; a backpack, a Bedroll, some Flint and steel, his Waterskin, a Whetstone, a length of rope, his suit of leather armour and his trident. This gear wasn't all he had trained with, he was used to sturdier armour and heavier gear but he supposed this would do him for the task in hand. Later that day, as he was buffing up his armour to remove the scratches from it, one of the guards came telling him a new sign had been posted in the town's square. He went to check the sign, it was a list of Monster Hunters. His name was on it.
His excitement grew inside of him as he knew this was the dawn of something new and not just the promise of a sun rise. Controlling his excitement he returned to the guard house to fit his armour properly. With the help of an off duty guard he had the buckles and straps tightened so the hardened leather suit soon fitted his form as well as it had when it had been his training armour. Jethro then devoted the rest of the day to practice. It had been a long time since he had sparred with anyone and the very next battle could prove fatal. As he lunched with his trident and darted around he became ever so aware that he had gone too long without sparing, why he'd been used to training every day but for the past year he'd done little other then tend horses. Soon though, too soon, night fell and Jethro had to put a stop to his practice. He was tired and weary but more invigorated then he had been for a good wile. A small blister had formed on the inside of his hand where he'd been trying to find where he used to place his hands for the best grip... fighting was like riding a horses, it took a wile to get back into it, with the possible excepting that the horses does all the work and doesn't end with sharp pointy things.
((OOC: Sugar sausages mushrooms! I've run out of time 
Very very big sorry to you all. For your reference Jethro is happy to talk as they travel and is interested in everyones histories. He is willing to talk about his own background but speaks like the last years, his time in Stone's Hollow, haven't happened. He talks a little about how his farther was killed fighting when other's who were meant to fight didn't but talks more about his training instructor who he sort of regards as a lost farther figure.
In combat he will fight using his trident in two hands and use combat expertise to shift his BAB to his AC to reflect that he is confident with his weapon but is a cautious fighter. If the opportunity rises he will attempt to flank the beast with another party member.))

Topic: Forgotten Realms: Edge of Darkness
Subject: Going by ear
Basyl had entered the camp without a problem, if you don't count the now unconscious bandit who had survived the earlier battle, and the man that greeted Basyl didn't count it as a problem. The words of their conversation drifted through the trees as he stayed hidden behind the tree, quiet and not looking. From just the voices he couldn't tell much except the confidence of the man who had greeted Basyl, he guessed the real leader of the bandits, he guessed that would make sense. Why would the leader of a outcast group chase after a prisoner when he had people to do it for him. Valandril asked himself rhetorically.
"Oh, please follow me, I'd like to take these talks into my private quarters, it is chilly out here and I was about to retire."
The unknown man had suggested they adjourn to his tent to talk rather then in the open. Valandril silently cursed as Basyl agreed and made his mind up to return to his original position. The plan was next to useless now, but hopefully in playing it by ear they would succeed should things all go to pot, Valandril turned and quickly, but as quietly as he could, made his way back to his original hiding place. On the way he stooped low and picked up a fist sized rock... it could prove useful should a distraction be needed.

Topic: ~Edge of Darkness~ Q&A
Subject: lots
Well lots for me to write here today. I like it! Keep my busy, keep me entertained!
Super update Jozan, you don't give yourself enough credit. I think you've made something happen that none of us were expecting and if things turn bad we are really going to have to work hard to keep everyone alive now Basyl is in the lions den.
T_H, I can't say I like Render as a character, yet, but it's fantastic to have something new and I haven't had to RP with a character such as Render before. I look forward to finding out how Render became so cold hearted and to seeing him progress as a character, you don't need to like something to appreciate it right?
Um... was going to comment about something else but I can't remember what so I guess I'll just tell you I reverted back to an older version of FireFox so I can use the google toolbar.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: Edge of Darkness
Subject: Valandril... the
Having put an arrow to his bow's string Valandril peaked out from his tree into the camp, or rather would have peaked into the camp had he not just seen the vital floor in this plan they had agreed to. His sight line was severely limited. Due to the tents he could barely see anything of the camp and couldn't see across to where Basyl was meant to be entering the camp. If he didn't do anything the plan would fowl up should it turn to fighting. The elf cursed under his breath as he heard Basyl walking forwards making a right noise as he did so. Basyl will be killed if it turns to fighting. That man has divided our forces so successfully that we are totally isolated from the rest of the group. Val's mind worked as fast as it hadn't for ages, it raced to find a solution that wouldn't end up with himself in harms way.
Not even looking at the man dressed in blue he snuck behind the rock, the man, and to the tree to the west, the one that the tripline had been tied to, as Basyl talked. He hopped that this would work, and he hoped that should it resort to combat Basyl had sense enough to flee backwards. Valandril prepared himself for the battle again, readied himself to cover Basyl when he made his retreat should be run.
((OOC: Moving to the tree in the center of the map and readying an attack should Basyl need to run back. To be specific: should this degrade into combat and Basyl run south he will step out from behind the tree (5ft step) and shoot one of the bandits.
EDIT: I realise that this is quite a large move but Val is banking on Basyl talking long enough to get to his new position.))

Topic: The Monster Hunters Collective
Subject: Posting In
Two and a bit years ago Jethro had moved to Stone’s Hollow, from wherever it was he had come from, and took up work at the stables in return the bed and board. As time passed it became apparent that Jethro had never come to Stone's Hollow to settle, but as time passed it had become apparent that he was becoming increasingly settled as the charm of the village lulled into a sense of belonging. As such the tall human from “elsewhere” became a lodger of the Eldon family and fully employed by Stephen Eldon at the stables. Years passed with little happening as Jethro worked away those years, as too many people do, accepting and finding peace in his lot in life. Indeed his life would have been unexceptional if it were not for events that were set in motion by a severed arm.
One-day, a couple of weeks ago, Jethro was away early to tend to the horses in the stables, he woke from his straw mattress and snuck to the pantry to help himself to dinner’s leftovers, for his breakfast. Then, once dressed, he walked the short distance across the yard to the stables and began his duties for the day; he might have noticed something by the fountain but assumed nothing of it, so was content to ignore it. As he was tending to the horse of one of the innings patrons the youngest son of the Eldon’s ran up to him and giblet in something about someone's arm, which Jethro was, again, content to ignore until the boy started attempting to drag him to the crowd that had formed by the fountain. It was like morning by then and Jethro was already looking forward to his lunch but reluctantly followed the boy into the crowd…
Then it was, next of fountain, somebody severed arm! I dismembered limb that apparently didn't belong to anyone, not even the visiting patrons that the in! Seeing the linen changed everything for Jethro. Instead of feeling scared or second he was excited. Something had changed, something had distracted that normality that he had become enslaved to, in a very metaphysical way the arm had reminded him of himself. He wasn't Jethro from “elsewhere” that had lodged with the Eldon’s. He was Jethro Ashby from Semon, Jethro who have been adopted as they, Jethro who had been trained in a marshal academy, Jethro whose father had died during his duty when others would not. He, Jethro Ashby, felt liberated and felt more alive that he had been for the past years.
Over the coming days rumour and speculation grew until a man arrived and told a feverish tale of a monstrous wolf made of shadow. The next day hunt was called for the beast, which Jethro joined, but only turned up a wolf. Jethro volunteered to join the guard and stand on the night watch. Over the coming week he missed sleep, fell tired at work, and twice slept through the day. Stephen stopped paying him and turned his family’s home, so he asked for a bed in the guard house. Then, a few days after, a bloody stranger arrived in the town, his back covered with deep gashes. The man was given a bed in the inn after receiving healing and recounted his story. The morning after a notice had been posted on the fountain, a request for men and women to hunt for the beast a second time.
Jethro found the newcomer in the inn, as the notice had said, and joined the long line of townspeople eager to rid their corner of Coria from the beast. Jethro recognised a couple of the faces, the mason who had joined himself on the earlier hunt and the slyven scout… but none others. Arriving at the table he gave his name and reason to join the hunt. ”Jethro. I joined the first hunt few nights back and it’s a duty to Stone’s to kill this beats so I will do it.”

Subject: sorry
Sorry for my lack of activity on the posting or bio front. The truth is that I'm on the Star Wars Combine and I've had quite a bit to do there recently. Normally I prioritise the inn but this time the lot I had to do was too urgent to be left
Anyway, I will be writing up my bio shortly and will be posting shortly after that. My plan/idea is for my character to have moved to the village two years, maybe two and a half years ago, and to have got work as a stable hand.

My character sheet is in, as always I know who he is in my head but seem to lack the ability to put it on paper.
I will endeavor to write down a description and a character summary as well as a basic backgroud... I doubt I'll be able to get a full background written by the time the game starts.
