looks like we are all playing samurai

However, today I am off, so it works. But, now I find out I have to go to my sister's house after 7 ish....

<t>As to time, I could not possibly make anything before 6 PST. That is already a struggle. I realise 9 PST is a bit late for our eastern brethren (just ask poor spak man! ). But 6-9 PST is as early as I can go.<br/> <br/> No reason that Orpheus can't set up a 6 EST game for all those eastern fancy ...

Treebore wrote: As for the horse and rider rule, I obviously don't like it. The riders AC is (usually) the highest, if you roll high enough to hit him you should hit him. . Not only that, but I realised after the game that my merging together of the GFYG rules and my house rules had a bit of a prob...

<t>Rules Discussion: They Shoot Horses Don't They?<br/> <br/> I have a house rule in GFYG that when shooting at a mounted opponent, a succesful ranged attack requires the attacker to then roll 50/50 to see if that attack counts against the rider or the horse<br/> <br/> This rule makes some sense, in...

<t>OK - we have our first vict-...I mean volunteers to run games. (as I continue to DM, we are getting more and more DMs eager to get someone, anyone to take over! )<br/> <br/> 1st up- January slot (ish)- Titania's L5R bloodbath. Post the type of oriental style character you would like<br/> <br/> 2n...

OK the summaries are posted. Barely under the deadline this week!

<t>Dispatch From the Wild West pt. 21 <br/> <br/> By Bill Honeywell <br/> <br/> San Francisco Gazette<br/> <br/> With only three Red Hats still standing, the party looked to be in good shape.

jaybird216 wrote: Sounds like a good line-up to me. Twilight has some good player handouts and character generation sheets (both of which I assume would be OK to send to players in PDF form), so I'm tempted to run it without conversion to SIEGE. It's a percentile-based system, so task resolution is...

<t>Tentative scedule of future games (we will edit in and out the games people can/can't do. The tricky question is, _when_ each game is scheduled):<br/> <br/> Jaybird: Twilight 2000 or Top Secret (with Get Smart expansion pack! )<br/> <br/> Titania: C&C or L5R<br/> <br/> Orpheus: Go For Your Gu...

<t>I am not sure a poll would work, since we plan on playing all of the games people offer to run (or at least most, no Bunnies and Burrows jaybird! )<br/> <br/> What we need here is probably to order who can run what _when_. Remember, in most cases we just want to run one module or so for 4-5 weeks...

Treebore wrote: Levelling is always good. Plus if we are going to keep the Thursday thing going we should see if we can agree on what rules set to try out next. Well, Jaybird wanted to try some twilight 2000 or traveller, I think (that should take 4 minutes! ). Slimy mentioned he was thinking of tr...

<t>Happy holidays to all you reprobates, horn swagglers, and card sharps.<br/> <br/> I have been checking my lists and seeing who has been naughty and nice.

<t>Well, that was an enjoyable session.<br/> <br/> What?<br/> <br/> Well, it was fun for _me_ then!<br/> <br/> We finally had our big gun fight. And you guys took out two gangs of desperadoes, and damaged the near invulnerable Mo Kwei (he has 40 or so HP. But like a monk, he is only good up close, s...

<t>if we do run a session next thursday (sounds like everyone is in), I will almost certainly have to use my old computer. I have no idea if it can handle the load of skype and openrpg and adobe acrobat (to look at the pdfs). Skype can be quite a cpu hog at times.<br/> <br/> So: should we run tonigh...
