    So, my Rogue dropped down to a whopping 1hp, while paralysed. He survived though - Always does ;) Also decked the party Cleric. Oops.

    Shocking: I was just browsing the Pure Pwnage fora and saw a thread along the lines of "Best RPG Ever" and only BG2 got mentioned and that only once...that's just wrong. And I feel old now.

    You tell me, in all of my classes I'm pretty much the oldest, and I'm not even 20 yet.

    Yesterday I went to see my friends' theatre play, I was surprised of one of my friend's performance. Considering it was his first play ever and the whole thing was in alexandrine. If you're wondering the play was Corneille's L'illusion comique (the comedic illusion -? not sure if it's an adequate translation)

    That's so that people can't post things like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111oneoneone that could break the layout tables by stretching them too much. Instead, our smart boards chop it up and put spaces inside. If there was a legitimate need, the cutoff point could be extended, of course.

    In other news, those of you who haven't uploaded any pics yet, what are you waiting for? Check out a random selection at the bottom of the front page of the boards. ;) Comments should go here.

    3.5 has too many rules for my small head.

    It's 4 am and I've just given up on a tower shield. You can't bash with it. :(

    Those involved will understand. :p

    Anyway, I'm off to sleep. Finally.

    Good night/morning/afternoon, dear babblers.

    Loreseeker: They can be used for a bash in a "death from above" manouvre--where you jump over a ledge, sit on the shield and try to land on your target. One of my players loves that move...

    Actually managed to game for the first time in three weeks on Friday. I think we're getting the hang of things. This has not been an easy game to start up, since I had only met the other players in 1 in November and 2 in January. We're getting to know each other as people, as well as trying to get used to each others' playing styles.

    Still going through stuff in boxes. I guess I can't complain since my husband is doing most of the work. I can't believe how many journals I wrote when I was younger. I took a bunch of paperbacks to wee-book-inn today and got $21 so at least my junk is worth something. Now I have to visit our local vintage music store and see if they want any of my old tape collection.

    I never managed to cast that spell successfully. :heh:

    I think the board software automatically inserts a space after a certain number of characters. I tried with various strings + "Preview Post" and it seems to insert a space after 50 characters, but there are only 45 in 'StopWastingYourTimeOnSPAndDoSomethingProducti'. :confused: Maybe the double quotation mark is counted as 5 characters.

    Edit: I only just saw Tal has already confirmed my suspicion. :doh:

    ION, I think I just failed to get off that spell again...

    Thanks, Gnarf. Appreciated.
    Towershield with someone on it definitely is a "death from above".
    Like a falling piano. :D

    I'm not sure how many ledges will be around, though...


    Montresor: Stop bothering with the spell. Even if you cast it, you still have to pass a SP withdrawal check. Good luck with that. :p

    Learning all the AC/DC songs you wanted wouldn't have taken long- surely you only really need to learn one song and the add different words to it? :p

    Except for Thunderstruck, yeah. All of them have some combination of D, E, A & G chords (with the occasional B somewhere) and a solo. The bass is even simpler, same one note for the whole song. :lol:

    Wait- AC/DC have a bassist?

    :p

    Well, Hell's Bells isn't exactly what I'd call a new song.

    I was referring to the fact that he could play the song with armpit farts... :p

    In other news...my AC system is busted...we came home and even though I set it to "cool" it was blowing hot air...we were only gone for 2 hours, and it went from 70 degrees to 87 degrees. :eek: The outside unit was humming like it should, but the fan wasn't spinning. :bad: Once it cools down, I'm going to take a look and see if the motor is fried. We've got a killer Cinco de Mayo party planned for tomorrow...so I hope we can get this damn thing fixed soon...we don't want to cook our guests, although with the amount of alcohol we have, some of them might taste pretty good with some BBQ sauce... :skeptic: :rolling:
