Re: Victorian / Western HERO Firearms Balckpowder rules set would be awesome. I'd like to see something taking into account the differences in the tech changes from matchlock all the way through the flint and wheel lock. Perhaps some info concerning blunderbusses and the skirmish/hunter vs. volley soldier of the period.

Re: Indusharan destinations (Turakian Age) Sounds cool to me, but I don't actually have my TA available. I don't know it well enough to offer suggestions at this point.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Consider it sheathed my good friend.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER You underestimate the ignorance of the jock, or the emo (both of which seem to enjoy paintball equally). Intelligent discourse is not the norm amidst those that shoot and are shot by their friends for the sake of enjoyment.

Re: Future Knowledge I smack the players upside the head with the 2 Liter soda bottle, or beer bottles. Empty at my house, either way, if someone else is hosting.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER None of them roleplay that I know of. And, by habit, I don't talk about my role-playing with people I'm not already RPing with. Only recently did any of that group know I wrote Poetry and it has got exceedingly mixed reactions.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I'm glad to see the LRTE Posse realizes the dichotomy of what it is to be Savinien.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Say hello to my little friends:

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I'll put some pics up once someone gets them to me. I don't play scenario paintball. That's for geeky dorks.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Scenario paintball does have tanks and lots of different types of weapons. They don't play on those types of fields, though. We won.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Yep. Though, most actually say the letters. N P P L. Not sure why.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Here is the layout for a tournament I'm playing in this Sunday.

Re: Bloodstone + Dark Tower I know not of what you speak. Welcome to the forums.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Hmm. I'm badgeless. Must not be geeky enough in geekdome. Congrats on yours, RPMiller.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER WB. The Doc has returned.

Re: Some advice I scale my NPCs about where Markdoc suggested. That's why the PCs seem to wade through things. Of course, this is an online game centered about an urban area (Osgiliath) and only recently shifting further into Emyn Arnen. It's not really about combat. Even so, buggers on the other side of the sword hilt are going down in droves when the PCs show up (and they're spread out with no more than 3 in a single group!) Good thread and good luck BlueBuddha!

Re: Some advice Normally, I would tend to agree with you, especially as a player. The 4A game morphed into what it is today with a group of three joining with a similar playing (and chargen) style. They brought in the 20 DEXes and later players likely followed suit. A lot of times, I'd have harped on them to give good reason for it, but I decided to let it go this time. I occasionally still regret that, but it is a small thing in the grand scheme.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I want so badly to let this Thing inside... out. I know it's there and it might just change my life if I let it. For whatever reason though, I'd rather play online poker, paintball, or whatever. Life is passing by at a horrific rate. I don't know what I should do. I'm talking about FWS, btw (Frustrated Writer Syndrome). Then, there's that overwhelming urge to keep playing paintball whatever the costs (money, spousal relationship, and my child's welfare). How can one person be torn so many different directions that he fails to deal with anyone as well as he should?

Re: Some advice Thus far, in my Fourth Age game we've got a Dalesman, Osgiliath Watch, Dwarf of the Glittering Caves, Umbarran Merchant in Gondor, and Asdriag Sword for hire, an Ithilien Ranger, a Rohirrim Lordling, and an Osgiliath Urchin. Within my (and Mastermind as he co-GMs) estimation, 100 pts is more than enough thus far. All of the NPC builds are modeled off of this, too, though. I've seen big street fights (amongst the guard, urchin, and some rabble), a cove-side skirmish, and a shifting night-fight thus far. I'll admit to being armor light and allowing one level of Combat Luck, but the PCs have dominated in each and every struggle. No magic (to speak of) in my vision of the Fourth Age, so skills and combat play an equal part. I don't feel the PCs are underpowered at all. If anything, I'm leaning the other direction.

Re: Victorian / Western HERO Firearms How much difference would there really be in the various firearms? Pretty much going to be between 3 and 6 damage classes, right? Is there any place where we can find details on the various flintlock, matchlock, wheellock, canon, blunderbuss, etc. weapons of the Black Powder Age?

Re: Some advice You've got your guys a bit higher than mine, but mostly because I try and push less armor. My PCs are 50/50 and can be found at Hero Central at the game Fourth Age of Middle Earth.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Heh. I shoot laser beams!
