Topic: Meeting an RDI icon
Subject: *blush*
Stop it! If my head gets any bigger I may just fall over. 
The honor was all mine, good sir. It was a thrill to meet you and yours in person and, given that you've so generously given me a place on the interwebz in which to unleash my particular brand of lunacy, those 'gifts' were the least I could pass on as a way of saying "Thanks!"
Besides... BEEEEEEER!!! Yummy, yummy, home-brewed, Confederate Dragon deliciousness! (See my entry in Olan's brewing my own beer thread for some notes on my first sampling. Still aging the others a bit but am finding it hard to resist the call whenever I walk by. )
It was certainly a great pleasure to meet you face to face, Olan, and I look forward to a time when we can do so, again... maybe for more than a few minutes or so, eh?
*hugs*

Topic: New user saying hello
Subject: Yay! Original newbs!!!
*ka-sproingity-pounce*
Welcome aboard, ODM! Always glad to see new faces around our hearth, don't ya know? Especially bright, shiny, lickable ones!!!
As far as I can tell, there's not currently any way to get our resident dice roller to "mix and match" per your question... looks as if you're kind of bound by one die type at a time. Mayhaps our illustrious webmaster will take a look at that and, when his busy schedule permits, make an adjustment or three that allows such a thing. Until then, though, here's hoping you stick around and maybe even fire up a game or two around here, yes?
Also... moved this thread to Comings and Goings.

Sorry for the excessively long delay... Real life has been a killer of late and I was out of town on business last week (and, so, had very limited access). I'm hoping to have us jump started and up and running by tonight or tomorrow, though.

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: Elsewhere in the Verse
"Do you really hafta go, Sifu?"
"Yes, little flower," Fu Sheng smiled at the eight year old girl who stood pouting in the doorway of his cell, "I really have to go..."
"But who will teach us gong fu while you're away? And tell us the stories about fetching water and the hole in one jug and cuz o' that flowers grew on the one side o' the path an'..."
The monk's hand flashed out with such speed that the little girl wondered, as the tip of his index finger landed feather-light on her lips, if even Sifu Cheung had seen it, himself... or did his hands truly move as quickly as his thoughts?
"There you go, again, blooming much too quickly, little flower," Fu Sheng laughed softly, "a step is a journey all it's own, remember?"
"Amb mbapin om morm wum jermee ib neber wibe por thobe wib omy phoo pheet," she finished from behind her pinned lips.
"That is right," the monk smiled, his finger gone from her lips, now, but the silence it had induced remained, "now, what was your first question?"
"Sifu," the girl offered a respectful bow, "who will teach us gong fu if you go away?"
"Sifu Huo," Fu Sheng answered with a smile before turning back to his packing.
"But he's soooo old," another young voice protested from the corridor.
"Shhh," the girl scolded.
"And very wise," Fu Sheng answered, abandoning his preparations to, once again, turn and face the door, "Sifu Huo has taught me the best of my own gong fu, after all..."
The monk clasped his hands behind his back and whispered a step or two closer to the doorway, the smile never leaving his lips; "Would you mind stepping out so that I can see you, Dewey?"
"...and, if you pay attention and learn his lessons well," Fu Sheng continued as a pink-cheeked boy of eleven or so appeared in the doorway behind Little Flower and feigned interest in his own toes for a split second before meeting the monk's gaze, "I'm sure that he will teach you the best of yours, as well."
"Yes, sifu," both children chorused, neither sounding completely convinced or enthused.
"Good," the monk nodded, "Will there be more questions?"
"How's come they don't send summun else," Dewey asked, then, mayhap a bit hastily…
“Ma Bu,” Sifu Cheung barked suddenly, “ma shong!”
The children reacted instantly, each settling quickly into the deep horse stance their teacher had called for. Quickly, precisely, but not so much silently.
“Aw, man,” Dewey moaned as he assumed the stance.
“Buhn dahn,” Little Flower grumbled at her friend without even glancing over her shoulder at the boy, “They aren’t sending somebody else because they’re expecting trouble.”
“Oh.”
“They are not expecting trouble,” the smiling Sifu assured them as he glided around them and made subtle corrections to their stances, “They are sending me because, for whatever reasons of their own, the farmers trust me to ensure delivery.
As to the question you have yet to ask,” Sifu Cheung continued after widening the lad’s stance with the tap of a toe and straightening his posture with the touch of a palm, “You are being made to do this because you are not where you should be… both of you, I believe, are supposed to be studying your numbers… instead you are here, seeking answers where there are no questions.” He tapped the boy lightly on the temple before pacing slowly back into his cell. “What sort of sifu would I be if I neglected your education?
You will hold this stance,” he flowed effortlessly into the posture he’d just assigned them, “until I have finished packing.” Then, rising out of the stance and turning in the same motion; “During that time, you may ask as many questions as you like.”
Despite sincere attempts to do otherwise, Dewey and Little Flower smiled. This wasn’t going to be much of a punishment; Sifu Cheung didn’t really have anything. How long could it take to pack nothing?
“Questions ‘bout anything, Sifu?”
“Yes,” came the simple answer as the monk took his time about rolling up a pair of trousers.
“It true you kilt five men t’once?”
“Bi jhwe! ,” Little Flower hissed.
“What? Sifu said anythin’.”
“Stoopid…”
“No,” Fu Sheng fought to keep his smile from faltering… it was eight, if you counted Hoskins Shian Shen and his bodyguards… and managed to do so by Bhudda’s grace, “It is not true that I killed five men at once.
And Dewey is correct, Little Flower,” he appended, laying the trousers on his cot and reaching for another pair, “I did say anything.”
“Yes, Sifu.”
The second pair of trousers, rolled neatly, was placed on the cot next to the first pair…
“Sifu?”
“Yes, Little Flower?”
“Are you sure there’s not gonna be any trouble?”
“I cannot see the future,” Fu Sheng smiled, “but, yes, I am fairly sure that there should be no trouble.”
“Then why’re ya packin’ them?” Dewey nodded at the Monk’s Spade, the rope-dart, and Sifu Cheung’s favored pair of exotic rattan clubs where they lay on the cot, neatly arranged, just above the new-formed row of trousers. He was rewarded for the nod by being coaxed ever so slightly out of his stance.
“Ma Bu,” came the monk’s rebuke for the offense as he considered the weapons and the boy’s question. “Practice,” he answered, turning from his folding, now and finding Dewey trying his best to get back into the stance, “Always practice.”
He moved a few steps forward, then; paused beside Little Flower, for an instant, and reminded her to ‘breathe,’ before strolling towards Dewey… “Toes in more…back strong… tuck in your butt…”
That last evoked a snickering from Little Flower but, despite that, Dewey had it just about locked when the Sifu again demonstrated the ‘perfect’ horse stance directly in front of him and said; “Ride the horse. Strong horse stance, strong gong fu. Ma bu. Dohn mah?”
“Yes, Sifu,” Dewey winced as the monk smiled back at him, “Ma bu!”
“Very good,” Fu Sheng said, rising out of the stance, clasping his hands behind his back and continuing on past the boy.
“Wh…where ya goin’, Sifu?”
“To get noodles,” the monk said, not bothering to look back, “I find myself hungry.”
“But yer not done, packin’…”
“No.”
“But you said…”
“Always practice,” Fu Sheng smiled as he disappeared down another narrow corridor on his way to the orphanage’s kitchen. “Continue asking questions, too. Why did I skip school to watch Sifu Cheung pack, for instance… What was I thinking might happen when I got caught?”
“He’s taking weapons,” Little Flower said after she thought the monk had gone, “Sure seems there’s gonna be trouble.”
“Uh huh,” Dewey agreed.
“Things are not always what they seem,” Sifu Cheung’s voice called back.
“Yes, Sifu,” the children chorused.
Nor are they otherwise, Fu Sheng didn’t finish that part out loud, he simply looked back for a moment, smiled, and moved on…
“Jin?”
“What?”
“What if there’s Reavers?”
“Bi jhwe!”
“Jin?”
“What?!?”
“My butt hurts.”
“That’s cuz you’re not breathing right…”

Subject: Quick note...
I'll be traveling to Florida for work, this weekend, and will be hunkered down in the Destin/Fort Walton Beach area for the following week. My hotel should have a decent internet connection so I don't foresee any issues with access (other than it'll be limited to evenings) or posting should this little adventure kick off during that time... Just wanted to let you all know that I'd be 'on the road' and possibly just a little slow to respond from the 12th to the 18th.

Subject: Yeah...
...not sure how this post would garner you smites, Hammer, but apparently some folks just flinch at anything vaguely hinting at religion... *shrugs* ...
Personally, I'm a 'one truth, many paths' kind of guy and, even though my own spiritual/philosophical/religious views might not exactly match up to those subscribed to by someone else, who am I to smite (or belittle or whatever) that person for having a belief in anything?
As I said, originally... good for you, mate! Hope you're enjoying your time.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA
Subject: Shares...
Buying into the ship would take a bit more $$$ than what was made individually on this job, I think, so I'm making an educated guess that, in this case, a "share" means a cut of the profits from the job, Tann. So, given the way it looks as if Wyatt's divied things up, that works out to about 10% for each of the crew who were granted 1 share... (10% of 3000 is, of course, 300 credits)...
Now, I could be wrong or my math could be a mite fuzzy buuuuut I think that's the way the thought processes went.
Edit: Oops... didn't see that Brom had already edited this bit into his post above... apologies from the Department of Redundancy Department.

Subject: Yeah...
...that's because it was laid out in those lengthy back-history posts and PMs for the most part, I think. There was talk about Sam owning a share but, given his twitchy nature (not wanting to put his 'name' to anything official), and the whole cortex specter thing, it was decided that 20 credits a month plus room and board was the deal. Anything else that might've constituted 'Sam's cut' of any jobs (if there was any) went back to Wyatt as a "thank you" and to keep Roc flying.

Subject: If I recall...
...Wyatt offered Sam 20 credits a month to fly the boat and such when they were first shall we say "negotiating" Sam's 'contract'... Of course, that was 'top level' pay and Sam thought Wyatt was fong lu... don't think we ever really decided what the pilot's pay actually worked out to... Sam was just happy to have a place to snooze and a boat to fly at the time.
