Topic: Realms of Twilight Intro Legend
Subject: Wow
I'm very impressed, this is amazing, very well written. The mythos is well thought out, I like how you broke from the mold that humans are the youngest mortal race and in fact made them the first of the mortals to walk the world. This seems like a very interesting, albeit dark, world to play in, and I'd be highly interested in playing this setting some day, especially since I, like yourself, favor 3.5.

Subject: You get used to it, or learn to live with it..
Greetings and welcome to the Inn, I may not be one of the more seasoned members, nor nearly as creative as some of the other members here, but I would like to welcome you just the same.
And trust me, the oddity of this wonderfully diverse group of gamers does grow on you, we're all a little strange after all, tis why we love gaming like we do isn't it?

Subject: I see
Well I have yet to actually finish kotor, but I enjoyed it myself when I was playing, and its not a bad idea to be borrowing. Were you expecting anyone to notice the similarity, or just hoping it would go unnoticed?

Topic: Leaving the Pack, the start of a short story.
Subject: The story [finally] continues!
Getting back to the forest he quickly shifted back into a wolf and began to sniff out some suitable prey to take in this evening. Stalking through the dense cover of the forest he caught the scent of a couple of other hunters, apparently stalking a boar, as he could smell it as well. Deciding it was best he leave the boar to the others he headed the other way, quickly picking up the trail of a stag. Silently he followed the trail, easing closer and closer to the mighty animal, and as soon as it was in sight he shifted back into his humanoid form, drew his bow and let fly an arrow, which struck the large buck in his throat but not doing enough damage to take him down. Panicked the stag bolted away from Wolf, his mighty legs pushing him deeper into the forest faster than Wolf could keep up on two legs. Realizing that he may lose his catch the young hunter shifted quickly into a wolf once again and sprinted after his prey, quickly catching the wounded animal and pouncing on it bringing it to the ground hard. The proud stag would not go down without a fight, and managed to hook Wolf in his shoulder with one of his antlers before the hunter's sharp canine teeth managed to tear open its throat ending its life quickly. Unfortunately for Wolf the antler had cut pretty deep, and would need attention from one of the village healers if it was to heal properly. With only one good arm to pull his catch into the village with Wolf realized he was going to need a much stronger animal than a wolf to make it back before sunset. Wasting no time he quickly shifted into the strongest animal he could think of, a large bear, and scooped up the now limp deer in one of his mighty arms and began the trek back to the village, his other shoulder still bleeding the entire time.
By the time Wolf had made his way back into the village he had already lost quite a bit of blood and was getting fairly light-headed and weak. Noticing this several of his family members rushed over to help him, a couple of his brothers taking the stag off to get prepared for meal time, and an aunt and sister helping him to the healer's hut after he had shifted back to human. As soon as they laid him down on the makeshift bed he passed out, which made the job of stitching his wound that much easier for the healer, but had his family worried sick. Once his shoulder was patched up the doctor applied a salve of herbs and bandaged the area tightly so the herbs could do as intended. For several days the young hunter showed no signs of getting any better despite repeated healing spells chanted over his bedside. His breathing was steady, his heart rate normal, yet still he slumbered sweating through a mighty fever. The healer could not determine what was wrong with him, and the village shaman had not been able to get any insight from his communion with the spirits, it seemed as if no one had the answers. Only time would tell if the great hunter would wake up again.
As he laid in that bed for days several thoughts occurred to Wolf's semi-conscious mind and he realized many things that he may not have realized in a fully conscious state of mind. He realized he was in this particular predicament because he had let his mind become distracted from the important things, and that distraction had lead to him getting majorly wounded for the first time since he had started hunting. A revelation then occurred to him, if he was ever to redeem himself in his own eyes he would have to give into his temptation, leave the village behind, and confront this distraction head on, ending his curiosity by giving in. At this basic realization he opened his eyes for the first time in a week, took a deep long breath, and sat up looking around the room he had spent a week sleeping in. Two things occurred to him almost immediately, the first being that he was still in his blood soaked hunting pants with no shirt, the second being that he was incredibly hungry.
It was about this time that the healer noticed he was up and rushed over to his bedside, making sure he did not overdo anything, seeing if he needed anything at all. Wolf smiled kindly to the old man and asked for the two things he felt he needed most, "If you could please wise elder, I would like a change of clothes and something to eat, I am famished." The old healer nodded and headed straight out to notify Wolf's family he had awakened, retrieve a set of clothes, and some food. Moments later the old man returned to find Wolf up pacing around the hut, and asked him, "Hunter, you seem troubled, are you certain you are well enough to be up and about?" The old healer placed the clothes and small plate of dried meat and bread on the end of the bed and added, "Your parents are quite eager to see you as well youngling, I advised they wait for you to come to them though, would not want you to have too much to worry about so soon after just waking up." Wolf nodded his appreciation and looked to the food, frowning slightly at the small portion of meat, "It looks like the hunters haven't been able to get enough meat without me, such meager portions would not be if I were still bringing in my share of the meat." The old healer just chuckled a bit, amused at the hunter's inflated ego despite the fact he had just awoken from a tragic hunting accident, but such were the ways of overconfident youths.
Quickly wolfing down the meager portions of food the old man had brought him Wolf put on his change of clothes and grabbed up his hunting gear which had stayed by his bedside the entire time. He was still hungry, but he would have to find food later, right now he had to let everyone know that he was okay and let them know the decision he had come to...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll end it here for now, let the suspense build...
and in case you thought it was, the pun in that last paragraph was not intentional

Topic: The Curse of Kobold Hall - 4e D&D Q&A
Subject: who me?
I was not making any sort of offensive comments regarding the fey, I was talking more about the Shaman, not so much the warlock, though I'm sure the others might find him a bit nutty, I imagine the shaman would be a little more open-minded to the idea because of his own connection to spirits.

Topic: The Curse of Kobold Hall - 4th edition D&D
Subject: enter Verion
Verion stands at just under 6 feet tall, his slender but muscular build making him appear more fragile than he actually was. He wore his deep gold hair short but relatively wild and unkempt and keeping with his wild nature he wore a short, yet well trimmed beard. His deep green eyes seemed to hold a wisdom beyond his years, a trait he claimed was because he could consult with the spirits and gain insight into things that may be otherwise out of the range of normal information gathering methods.
The day the posters went up the group seemed to get even more anxious than was usual for one of their jobs, claiming this was the one that would seal their fates as true adventurers and the things bards would sing about. Verion really wasn't that worried about the fame or money, but he wouldn't turn away from his share of the rewards, it would be nice to have a nice meal as compared to the usual mediocre meals they ate. Consulting the spirits Verion had gained little insight, only that this would be the most difficult job they had undertaken to date, and if this was in fact a dangerous job the group would need him more than ever, even that grumpy dwarf, though he would never actually admit it. But now was not the time to get himself worked up over this, he needed to get his rest for the task ahead of them.
((I naturally assumed the spirits wouldn't/couldn't provide any useful pertinent information beyond what I as a player know, and that is very very little indeed, if by some small chance he does learn something useful by communing with the spirits (can you tell the idea excites me a little) then feel free to let me know somehow or another))

Topic: The Curse of Kobold Hall - 4e D&D Q&A
Subject: oddly familiar
I realize this was probably very unintentional on your part, but this adventure reminds me a lot of the Sand People bounty quest in KotOR, kill sand people, get their weapons as proof, and get the chiefs for a bonus. I wonder of WotC did that on purpose?
And now for an actual question, what I've read on my character sheet doesn't make this very clear, so I'm just going to ask. Can other people see my Spirit companion, or do I look like more of a loon than the drunkard warlock who thinks visions of fey gave him his power? I mean seriously, if someone claims to talk to the spirits and get advice from them, yet no one else sees them, wouldn't you think he was a little bit crazy?

Topic: Assistance is Required...
Subject: If only I had time
I don't think the requirements are too much to ask of a player in any RPG, realistic characters are always easier to relate to. If all my time wasn't taken up between job hunting, parenting, and trying to work out details in my own game then I would most definately be interested in working on a character. I still have my 3.0 core books and could probably pull something together if I ever find time..

Just a quick notice, any of you who may have recognized the name Nomad Raven, should know that that is me, I just got a bit of a name change. So now if you wanna call me Wolf that is more than acceptable, but Randal is still good too.

Topic: The Curse of Kobold Hall - 4e D&D Q&A
Subject: hi
I will be the first to warn the rest of you, I have never played a healer, and as such may not be the best at it, but I'll give it 110%. It may take me some getting used to to know what I can do, the ranges, needed rolls, and all that stuff, but trust me I'm a quick learner, and it shouldn't take me that long to pick it up.

Topic: What do you want in a game?
Subject: Story!
I have longed for and dream of playing in a game that follows a central story and not having to re-roll every few sessions. Sadly I have not found a game like that in my DnD-lifetime, but I would love to take a character from his modest low level origins and follow him through all sorts of different stories and adventures, watching as he grows in power and fame. Sadly every game I've played in has never given me that feel, its either a short couple session game, or my character gets murdered off and I have to start all over with less actual knowledge of the going-ons my other character would have had, with the new character being treated like an outsider by the rest of the group because he wasn't there from the start..

Topic: Anyone willing to help?
Subject: Anyone willing to help?
I'm not sure where I would post this, but I figured the common room was as good a place as any. I've mentioned a couple times before that I am by no means an experienced DM, and as such was hoping I could perhaps get a little 1 on 1 help with a couple of my villains, learn some good tricks, and make my NPCs memorable and feared. The reason I ask for 1 on 1 help is that I intend to get my group to play on this site, and don't want them finding the thread and ruining the surprise. So I would prefer to converse either through PM, IM, or e-mail. IM screen-names and email can be found on my profile. I have some basic details worked out, the direction I want to go with the character I need the most help with, its just a matter of getting all of it worked out statistic wise.

Topic: Who is your favorite superhero?
Subject: Really?!
No one has mentioned the Merc with the Mouth, Deadpool?! What is not to love about a clinically insane smart mouth who uses katanas, guns, bombs, or whatever else, can teleport, AND has a (unreliable) healing factor?
Deadpool is by far my favorite Marvel "hero" but I think I'd have to go with Beast Boy for DC, gotta love a shapeshifter. And lets not forget the non-Marvel/DC "heroes" Spawn is an amazing character as well, and I'm very surprised no one has mentioned him either
As for Villians, Marvel I think I'd have to say Carnage, but DC hands down it would be the Joker, he may not be a so-called "super villain" but with no powers he has managed to do so much more than some supers..

Topic: Keeping PC's alive
Subject: PC death..
I have played with DMs who are not happy unless they kill, or nearly kill, at least one PC per session, and usually it was my character through no fault of my own(see my post in Memorable Deaths).
Then again I've played in a session a long time ago where the DM actually made one of the players roll some random dice before the game had even started, which it turned out, was a roll to determine if he managed to get to cover before the building he was in collapsed, he basically had just rolled to live long enough to even make it into the game
