Missed it. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing.

And that comment on Giant Stags makes me think they they should also hung Wissent and Aurochs....

<t>OOC: I'm going to assume I remember that the doors do swing inward towards the basement....<br/> <br/> Angrod: <br/> <br/> "Let's get to the basement. First Finn, then me, then Snipe. Snipe, I'll yell when I'm ready at the top door. Finn, bottom door."<br/> <br/> Go.<br/> <br/> I spike top door w...

Lurker wrote: Serl, I like your idea. I've been thinking about a similar house rule but also adding "weapon style" to the mix (2 weapon, Pole Arm, Weapons & shield, etc) I'm not sure how it would work or if I can keep it simple but your idea is a good starting point. By the way thanks...

<t>"This is not exactly how turning worked in training, but it seems to have some sort of effect...." <br/> <br/> "I wonder what Grizzle is up to and how the Wizard is doing. I guess with the Zombie's still trying to get out, not too well."<br/> <br/> "And remind next time me to check which way the ...

I like the series. And don't have Cable -- on hulu.com .

And I like the tech -- some futuristic, some from today. Everything doesn't progress at the same level for everyone....

DD -- some interesting thoughts, and the more I think about it, the more it is intriguing to have some differences.... Any thoughts on what you'd like to see, or just "interested in what the TL folks come up with"?

<t>I like the idea of a basic set with a subset of the C&C rules / options (only go to a certain level, then use a few adjuncts for any more 'advancement' past core level, that would be quite interesting to me... (And yes, I know I hit upon at least a couple of hot button items with that comment...

<t>So, my plan: Snipe & Finn wait at the top of the stairs.<br/> <br/> I am as far back as possible while still being able to turn the Zombies.<br/> <br/> Grizzle to approach the Wizard with the healing potion. Slowly and non-threatening.<br/> <br/> If the zombies move to interfere, Grizzle step...

<t>We're discussing.<br/> <br/> >> "How about like the last ones? do you think we can approach Kartheton in a friendly manner and not get the zombie's upset. Not that they get upset, but you know what i mean."<br/> <br/> Angrod: "I think we could try, and if they aren't friendly, I can try turning t...

<t>"Sir Finn, I pray you consider the situation that is presented to us. If I may remind you, there are two zombies in this room, four outside, and we know not how many other Orcs are wandering around. While I really don't think that we should go in haste, we may consider the opportunity in front of...

<t>Angrodl: "If these Zombie's behave like the last, they won't like anyone to come in without invitation. Yes, that brings up an idea.... Grizzle, do you have Ventriloquism? Try to fake the Zombie's out by having the Wizard 'invite us in'?<br/> <br/> And Finn, maybe put some obsstacles down first i...

<t>Well, we could go with our standard plan -- Angrod attempts to turn the Zombies from as far away as possible....<br/> <br/> * If successful, Grizzle goes to the Wizard Snipe & Finn take out the cowering creatures. <br/> <br/> * If Fail, I run through the bedroom (Pg 8 of this thread for pictu...

<t>Angrod: "Did you leave the matress outside? I need a rest.... "<br/> <br/> I give a quick prayer of thanks and to recuperate. And, um, do I still have my shield & flail (& bow), or did I drop them somewhere? I go get them.<br/> <br/> I assume Snipe made it here and is telling us about wha...

I'm outside. On the ground. I could take the high road home (or is that the low road.) Or jump in a tree in the woods over yonder.... No jumping down for me.

<t>Angrod: "Next Time" "I go in" "Close door" "Behind Me"<br/> <br/> How far ahead of the Zombies am I / will I be?<br/> <br/> Snipe: Broken beaker. Body... Wizard stuff! Zombies. "Grizzle!!! I found the Wizard!" I run upstairs to find the folks and help Angrod. When I see Grizzle, I tell him "In th...

Just not sure if I could commit time to a third game....

I do like the name idea for the different races.

BTW, why Play by email instead of PbP?

Link adjusted (proper syntax got the best of me -- the ',' at the end was being added to the URL.

<t>Per my prior post:<br/> <br/> Outside, where an Elf belongs!

Ah, dang, I'm on the balcony? Argh....

How far is it down? Will there be room for me to do my run around the tower bit? Probably need to shed my shield & Sword to try and do a quick escape down the ladder....

<t>Doh, didn't realize 2HD.... And other stuff....<br/> <br/> Snipe: Tries to trip/nock over the Zombie attacking him. Preferably into another of the Zombies. Then makes for the closest door (past what the Zombie's were guarding.) Yells for the Wizard (hey, maybe he's holed up back there.... Unless ...

<t>Ok, here's what I'd like to do -- put the stuff down somewhere out of the way....<br/> <br/> Then:<br/> <br/> * Snipe in front, Finn hide<br/> <br/> * I'll try turning<br/> <br/> - On Success, Snipe & Finn go in & take out the cowering Zombies (I stay at least 10 feet away<br/> <br/> - If...

<t>Snipe: "Why are we bothering with fire? They're just skin & bones -- my trusty stick and I will make short work of them."<br/> <br/> Angrod: "While fire nourishes and can clean old undergrowth, it isn't always conducive to use in tight spaces with limited ventilation.
