Subject: it's a little bit funny....
For those of us who grew up in the 80's and play 1e/2e - we are reaching the point where even if we don't like the new rules, we need some familiarity with them in order to communicate with the world wide D&D community. Otherwise we will end up like a group of old codgers at a Home, sitting on a porch watching the gamers go by and complaining about things being better in our day (We has THAC0 and we like it!)
I was at a Con the other day talking with a young man who was a D&D gamer. He and I discussed being a DM and he told me he had been a DM since he was 7. When I told him I had been a DM since 83, he was shocked and said quietly "...dude, that's the year I was born."
If it wasn't for WoTC obvious cash grab of multiple books and editions, I'd probably go out and buy 4e to read up on them. As it is, I'm turning to Cortex now, which is a good system adaptable for anything.
I'm blogging a bit here, aren't I? See! I'm hip!

I know I plan on starting a blog soon about my efforts to rewrite my critical/fumble tables and write other articles on house rules.

That's my job!
Ummm....not wanting to sound critical... But how often is Brad gonna end the comic with a derogatory statement to his fellow players? I'm thinking it could get old fast.
But maybe I don't know humour. Never got the pie in the face either.

Olan attempts to buy out P&G to create a RDI brand of household cleaners. Red Dragon in your Toilet - when you just have to be clean.
No, I am sober, thank you. Just feeling whimsical today.

Topic: Freedom's Price Q&A
Subject: Larkhill vs Perdition
There seems to be a misconception here. None have you been to Perdition. The colony you were at was Larkhill. Perdition, as you see on the layout, is a high security prison on a dead moon on the far edge of the rim. It is now privately owned and it is where Alliance sends anyone they label as a "terrorist".
My fault really because as I look over my post I didn't do a good job of explaining what you were seeing. I thought I had wriiten another paragraph or two on details but I see that I did that in my mind not on the paper.
Doesn't change anything though. I will add the details in my post and we will move forward from there. Prehaps Mel and Kane have heard of Perdition or were forced to stay there before being transferred to Larkhill.

No - you and Mel have moved to the back and side of the bar so you can't see the TV or the woman who walked in. if you look over at your table, you'd see only Angela there but I can't imagine that would surprise you. Grace is defiant of authority in any form and Phil has the attention span of a child watching sunday cartoons and eating chocolate coated Sugar Bombs.

Topic: Freedom's Price Q&A
Subject: Plot points
As a reminder to some and something new to others - everyone starts the game with 6 plot points. These points can be used by you to:
Add an Extra die - if you want to succeed in a roll you can add an extra die by using the points. Each point represents a step so 1 point is a d2, 2 are a d4, 3 are a d6 etc.
Reduce Damage - If you have been hit you can roll a die to reduce the damage taken. The points for the die roll are the same as above.
Effect a roll already made - if you missed by a small amount you can add to your roll with points, except that a point is equal to +1 only.
You gain plot points by playing your complications, successful goal accomplishments and making the story move along. Go examples would be Mel coming up to Kane to assist in the deal making, Grace twitchily looking for people watching. Angela forgetting something crucial to the game at the right(wrong) time or Phil going for the girl.
the most PP you can have at any time is 12. If you want to use them, just make a note in your post For Example - "Grace will attempt to make a signal jammer out of the spare parts (3 PP add please)"

Reagan - I love Ron. It was a Bloom County reference to the fact that people used to blame everything on Reagan while he was in power. My humour when I'm tired is Dennis Miller style obscure. I apologize for any slight to the Gipper.

MMV - The Radio receiver on a multiband is to listen only. Now you could modify yours on the fly, but you couldn't be sure that Kane's would reciever or if he even has his turned on. I am sure you can get a high end "cellphone in a watch" in the core, but not right now.
Suicidolt - I will assume jacket then but don't feel you have to hand me plot hooks - this scene has all the potential to become as grand a comedy as when the crew of the Rocinante drove the hovermule over a brass band in a parade.

Tossing your watch at him might not be efective. Try a wrench instead.
