lol Rockzilla
Statistics make it more real tho, cause you have chance to play against.. bit like gambling

krazixs · 06-20-2003, 06:51 AM

Well I didn't mean to suggest we start "rolling" for anything, just in case anybody wanted a point of reference for the char.

krazixs · 06-20-2003, 08:05 AM

Gah, I knew I should of been a thief. . . can anyone detect traps for this?

Minx · 06-20-2003, 05:12 PM

Apokx....do you have a problem with the way the game is being played or am I mistaken?
If I am mistaken, my apologies for thinking this.
If I am correct, then please speak your mind.

And just fyi....being relatively new to RPG I checked with Rogue to see what I can and cannot do (as far as the mechanics of the game goes) so I don't think I'm overstepping any boundaries here.

Feel free to comment, please.

Cubby · 06-23-2003, 07:48 AM

Wow, an entire battle over the weekend when I can't log on. Oh well, hope my last posting can cover what I was doing.

Just an FYI that I'm heading down to Vegas this coming weekend so won't have access to e-mail from Thursday night through Sunday. If I have time I'll check and respond on the 30th but I'm still going to be on Vacation until the 2nd of July. I'll be around until Thursday though so we should be able to advance a little by then.

And Minx, you are playing the game fine in my opinion. In a game where no real rules were established as to how characters behave and we aren't really rolling dice to see if attacks work (correct me if I'm wrong Rogue) you need to set your own boundaries. In my opinion, a character needs to have weaknesses as well as strengths. In fact I think it is the weaknesses that define the character. Look at Krazixs for example, the poor snivelling fool (the character not the user

). I think his character could be very interesting although he hasn't been with us long enough to get to know him too much.

In all, just behave like you think your character will actually behave. Even if that means doing things that other's will not like. I've tried to throw a couple of suprises by not suddenly trusting every new player that comes along. I don't think anyone should just accept a new player. Yes I know that these players are likely to join us, but realistically my character would not know that.

Anyhoo, i'm rambling and not getting to a point and don't know what I'm saying (it's too early!) so I'll shut up now. Cheers!

Minx · 06-23-2003, 08:56 AM

Thank you for the support and advice Cubby. I agree with you on the strengths/weaknesses idea. The game will seem quite dull if we can combat everything we run into just by using magic.

And speaking of which, Golden...I am new to RP and am not familiar with the various magic elements that can be used which is why I limited by abilities to more along the lines of a rapport with nature rather than having a bag of magic tricks. If you would like to pm me with a few of the basics that would be appreciated for further RP games but as far as this particular game goes I will keep my limited abilities. Don't want to become too all powerful!

Yes,but it's too hard to explain.I'm going to begin running Attrah differently,with less dialogue/interaction,for personal reasons.
I would explain the others reasons,but I'm not good expressing what I mean,ending up making someone angry,or worse,getting banned from the board over a misunderstanding.

Minx · 06-24-2003, 05:48 AM

Apokx, I would like to think that this is the place where we can "meet" to discuss things regarding the game....whether they are good things or bad. If you are unhappy with an aspect of the game would it not be better to share it and perhaps come to a solution?
Just my thoughts...

You don't have to be worried about being banned from the board for expressing an opinion.
We are playing this for the fun of it and I would hope that everyone has fun.
Its been years since I played D&D so I try to make it more like a fantasy novel.
If your not I'd like to know why.
The dialogue is an important part of the game.
It makes the caracters more real and interesting.
I hope you will explain how you feel and we can help.

rogue49 · 06-24-2003, 09:00 PM

Please be involved,
I know you all are trying to be in character.
But this might mean life & death to members of the party,
and yours.

Minx · 06-26-2003, 08:13 AM

Oh swell.....now I'm being eyed up by a dragon like I'm his next tasty little morsel. *gulp

krazixs · 06-26-2003, 09:47 AM

Don't worry Vinoh and I are seeing if there is anyone fun to play with in the crypts

Cubby · 06-26-2003, 02:21 PM

I'm off to Vegas you guys so I leave my movements either up to you or rogue or I can just be trailing along in the background. I'll be back on Sunday night so I'll try to check messages and respond on Monday from home (therefore from Jinger's account).

Have fun undead/dragon/undead dragon? hunting!!

GoldenOuroboros · 06-26-2003, 05:54 PM

AAARRRGGGHHH!!
*runs around pullin hair out*
Went down to see the girl and she didn't have her net on Sorry peeps!

rogue49 · 06-26-2003, 07:42 PM

Don't worry I'll take care of you Cubby.

heh
no worries, seriously...I'll write your actions if necessary.
you'll be fine.

Apokx · 06-27-2003, 02:00 AM

Nothing to do at my house,Im bored.

rat · 06-28-2003, 08:19 AM

Well, after speaking with rogue, I've decided to join in on the roleplaying. I've done a bit of AD&D, but most of my roleplaying has been online, and I may be overly descriptive at times (please bear with me

). I've found that dialogue and solid descriptions of actions make online RPG far more interesting than anything else.

As far as my character goes, Tsorovan is generally found in elven form, with obsidian colored hair, deep green eyes, and clothed in black from head to toe, including his mail shirt. He carries only a single blade, an adamantine sword. His only truly "magical" powers (as opposed to his uncanny ability to hide and move silently) lie in his ability to take the form of a black dragon once a day. While in this form, his size may change at will, as the occasion demands, though never more than twice a day, and never beyond 30 feet in height or 60 feet in length. While in this form, his only defense is his scales and only weapons his teeth and claws.

Tried to keep it short, but here he comes!

GoldenOuroboros · 06-28-2003, 11:44 PM

urgh.. black dragons.. not good.. dragons of chaos.. nooo..

Apokx · 06-29-2003, 03:10 AM

even if the nightmare did become my mount,its gonna die before doing me any good -_-

GoldenOuroboros · 06-29-2003, 03:54 AM

True... O_o

Edit: I think someone of a truely evil heart can tame a night mare anyways.. o_O

Minx · 06-29-2003, 06:48 AM

Welcome to the game rat....as friend not foe I hope

rogue49 · 06-30-2003, 07:45 AM

I'm trying not to update the game as much on the weekends,
since so many of our players are not available during that time.

rogue49 · 06-30-2003, 08:44 AM

BTW
Goban, D'Aleen & Thantos are out for another round trying to get their barings and seeing through the smoke & chaos.

I'll give it to you this time that they were able to run that fast to get to the other side of the great room and around the corner.
But in the future, this should take much longer, especially in the split second timing of a battle.

This is the disadvantage of splitting up, not bad...there are advantages too...
just something to consider
I know this is a story of fantasy, but let's not try to push physics too much.

GoldenOuroboros · 06-30-2003, 01:42 PM

awww come on rogue.. physics are good.. we'll have to get you to start calculating the difference in time of two arrows to strike a target, one being fired from a compound bow at 50M and another from a short battle bow at 70M

Tis all good

Minx · 06-30-2003, 03:47 PM

Sorry Rogue, I guess with Cubby not being able to respond and having "Goban" take off, I either had to follow or sit at the base of the stairs and twiddle my thumbs! lol.... I thought I was a little winded after running that far!

It's tough on the weekends as we do have a few people that can't interact so I don't like to push to far when they cannot participate.
Drat....fingers rapped twice now !

rat · 07-02-2003, 10:52 AM

Well guys, I was looking forward to dropping in and starting some serious roleplaying, however, real life has cropped up its head, and things are going to be touch and go for right now. I'm almost never home at this point, and I don't feel it would be fair to join this group then just fall off the face of the earth. Maybe sometime in the future I'll be able to actually get into things. Sorry

Apokx · 07-02-2003, 03:07 PM

I see visions of mummies,vampires,and other nasty things that go bump in the night

GoldenOuroboros · 07-02-2003, 03:39 PM

Mummies fire.. Vampires anything to do with light and then you cut off their head and burn both parts away from each other.. or just immobolize them by staking them in the heart.. hehe..

rogue49 · 07-02-2003, 06:05 PM

aww...you all are no fun...heheheheheheeheheheeheeeehaaahahah.

warriors, come out and play.
waaariorss, come out and plaaaaaay.
for those old movie buffs

Minx · 07-02-2003, 07:43 PM

lmao pony boy.....get home with you!
*opps

rogue49 · 07-03-2003, 05:30 AM

The big 4th of July weekend is coming,
and I'm sure many of you are going to be occupied otherwise.

I'm going down to my mother's today myself for a long weekend.
I don't know how much I'll be able to get on during this time,
so let's just say we take a break in the momentum of the story until next Monday.

Talk, debate, interact with your characters.
Collect your just rewards
But don't do anything significant.

Have a happy, nice, safe 4th all of you.
more fun & adventure next week.

rogue49 · 07-04-2003, 06:26 AM

Think of Electrum as Nickel
Something in between Silver & Copper

Not as good as Silver, but better than Copper.

Apokx · 07-04-2003, 10:52 PM

Just replied to the Tomb,and this thread needed a bump.

GoldenOuroboros · 07-05-2003, 12:55 AM

4th of July??

American holiday eh? :P
I worked...

Minx · 07-06-2003, 01:36 PM

*bumped again!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend.
It's nice to get a break to sit down in the game

rockzilla · 07-06-2003, 03:57 PM

I was worried I would miss something important while I was recovering from surgery, but I guess you guys have been busy counting your riches since friday

GoldenOuroboros · 07-06-2003, 05:13 PM

surgery!!?

Dude what happened??

But it's good you're back

rockzilla · 07-07-2003, 04:13 AM

I had a hernia that's kept me off my feet for the past 5-6 weeks, the recovery was more painful than the hernia itself for the first 2 days, but I'm almost as good as new now, thank god for codeine.
