Topic: Possibility of Pathfinder? Subject: Yep
I'm an unapologetic curmudgeon who still prefers 2e, but I find the entire d20 system to be solid. It's not perfect, but no system is... And I like how it's easy to run Star Wars, modern, etc, without having to completely learn a new rule set.
But enough of that. Enjoy your game, guys.

Going ahead and picking week 12, since I'll be gone.

Carolina @ Miami
Chicago @ St Louis
San Diego @ Kansas City
NY Jets @ Baltimore
Jacksonville @ Houston
Minnesota @ Green Bay
Tampa Bay @ Detroit
Pittsburgh @ Cleveland

Actually, I stupidly picked Cleveland because I believe they will beat Cincinnati.
however, a coin flip did confirm my pick.

Bad 'ol Olan, going on a trip after starting a game.
I didn't want to wait to start, as tomorrow all too often never comes.

Just an FYI, folks - I am leaving Friday at noon to drive ten and a half hours to Orlando, where I shall take my family to visit Mickey and friends at Walt Disney World. I will not be back until the Monday before Thanksgiving.
I intent to make a Hidden Evil update before I go, which will leave us with just a couple of days of of the once per week rule (though I intend to post more often in the typical situation if at all possible).

Topic: You want to play a WHAT?!? (strange character ideas) Subject: heh
That character idea *is* awesome, Celeste... and you sound like a total perv, Eol.
When I was in high school, I ran a D&D game for some buddies. One was totally new to D&D, and wanted to be a troll.
I wouldn't allow it, though I ended up letting him play a half troll. Extreme strength, very slow regenerate... yeah, munchkinism at its finest.
He played the guy as a bit of a psycho, though. I recall his cutting a ghoul in half with his greataxe (i.e. critical hit when the thing was low on HP). He then informed us that, post battle, his character would celebrate by sodomizing the lower half of the ghoul's corpse.
This caused revulsion from the other players (his intention, I'm sure). I let him do it, but advised him that he's contracted a rotting disease from violating an undead corpse.
Yep, he never did that again.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men - Q&A Subject: Tactics
It's nice to know, as a general rule, how your character will carry themselves in combat. That gives me something to fall back in if need be.
However, if you can post some intentions in your game posts as Eol mentions, that will be ideal. In other words, what your intentions are for the immediate situation, then how you'd like to proceed if a happens, perhaps a fallback if b happens.
Thanks! Loving the posting so far.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men - Q&A Subject: sweet
Loving the posting so far, folks!
One request, if you please - ideally, I'd like for you to post a few rounds' worth of strategy at a given time. If we take a week to resolve every combat round, the game will take a very long time, indeed.
For some, this will be easier than for others, I realize that. It would be a good idea if I know your character's basic strategy in various situations.
For instance, if your character has both melee and missile weapons, which do they prefer? Do they take a shot or two, then close to melee, or do they avoid it unless there is no other choice? Do they keep firing, regardless of ammo expended, or do they hold off if it looks like the fight is in hand?
If a spellcaster, what are the favorite spells and strategies? Do they use magic to blast, to support? Do they prefer to conserve spells if possible?
If a melee warrior, do they press the advantage, fight defensively, screen the spellcasters, etc?
Thanks!

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men - Q&A Subject: magic...
Jarenion will have probably warned the party of what his spell uncovered, so you will certainly not be surprised (at least not in game mechanics terms).
However, the spell does not have enough range to have prevented this encounter, either, so I feel comfortable in posting what I have.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men... Subject: saying hello
Cautiously, everyone in the party moves forward. For their part, the other travelers continue to walk in their labored, shuffling pace, heads down, as if they are oblivious to any reaction that the party might have - or indeed, that they exist whatsoever.
Once the other party is close enough, Jarenion mutters his incantation, and the results are unsettling, to say the least. Each of these travelers has a faint aura of necromancy about them. Nothing powerful, nothing that feels like active magic of any kind... more of dank taint, a "taste" to their aura.
The hot, sticky night seems to draw even closer, the fog seems to thicken even more, to the point that the atmosphere is positively stifling and oppressive. As the two groups draw even closer on the road, a twig snaps loudly under Ta'Arms' boot, and the other travelers look up, fixing their gazes in his direction.
It is a scene from a nightmare.
Their flesh is a pale, greenish-gray - where it still remains whole. In many places, skin and flesh alike hang loose or are missing entirely, revealing bone underneath. The eyes are wide and empty, staring vacantly (provided that the eyes are not missing altogether); yet somehow, you instinctively know that these abominations can see you quite clearly.
One creature seems to be in much better physical condition than the others. Where the majority seem to be slow, awkward, animated corpses shuffling along... this one is different. It appears to be a twisted mockery of a human, but it does not seem to be in the same state of decay as the others. It grins broadly, revealing a mouth full of crooked fangs, then begins giggling in a maniacal fashion.
Now, there can be no doubt as to the intentions of these travelers. As one, the undead creatures groan and move to attack!

Topic: Why We Love to Hate Them: Episode 1- Bards Subject: I'll bite
Sure, why not?
This thread probably fits better in gaming surveys, but that's okay. (Moved this to surveys then noticed your post...awkward. -- Grugglington IV)
I think you get a lot of hate from rollplayers (note the spelling) due to the fact that they aren't good at anything. If you want to optimize your build, a bard causes you to wake up in cold sweats.
Note that I throw rocks at those kinds of players, but there it is.
