Re: Anyone running any online games? While we're on the subject, I have a question about the healing ritual. Is it a sort of thing where the "casting time" is 20 minutes then I must release the spell immediately, or does it work like a cleric's "prepared" spell, where I do the ritual at some point during the day and can "release" the spell anytime I wish? I suspect the former but it's worth confirming. Also, with the added BODY I am now sitting at 17 BODY. Is that ok or should I kick it down to 15 and do something else with the extra points?

Re: Anyone running any online games? I am in favor.

Re: Anyone running any online games? Considering the lethality of this game, I've made a backup character just in case (but mostly just for fun.) Sort of a secret agent/spy/assassin type dude, very much skills-oriented but has a couple basic unarmed martial arts maneuvers to help him out. The basic story is that he was a masterful actor in Avalon, and the government hired him out to keep an eye on foreign movements in the colonies. I will develop more if I get the go-ahead, otherwise I'm not going to bother with it just now. It's missing flavor text and some skill labels but it's mostly complete. If anything, I would try to shave off a few points here and there and tack them onto STR to make him a more effective hand-to-hand combatant. What do you think?

Re: What Do You Do with a Dog in a Dungeon? I agree with Escafarc on the enhanced senses. You could have a bloodhound tracking scents or you could have a pointer alerting the party to nearby foes. Anyone play Torchlight? A dog like that could be very useful indeed...

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From our recent Colonial HERO game: Bounty Hunter: YOU MUST SURRENDER! Rotman: The only thing I have to surrender....is THIS! *whips out his pistol, and shoots Cael (me) in the thigh* (Rotman's player had forgotten to switch the target in the attack macro, so he accidentally hit me. The GM switched the hit to the Bounty Hunter but I was ROFL for quite some time...)

Re: A picture glossary of edged weapons Awesome stuff! Repped and stolen

Re: The Non Sequitor Thread I could go for an omelet and biscuits right about now...

Re: Anyone running any online games?

Re: Anyone running any online games? Outstanding! This works great for me.

Re: Anyone running any online games? Here is the (hopefully) final version of Cael. I also added Cael's revised character background, an equipment list in the campaign notes area, and a reference writeup for Cael's weapons in the Equipment section. I imagine you were going to post this anyway, but what is the server information we need for MapTool? Also, awesome picture ghost-angel! How did you create it/where did you get it?

Re: Anyone running any online games? Here is the closest I could get. Cael stands at about 6' 2" with dark hair, vivid blue eyes, sharp features, several nautical tattoos, earrings and rings, Nyah's necklace, his weathered old marine coat, a dark cloak, and his tricorn, which he regards as his lucky hat. Doesn't go anywhere without it with him, and he collects little trinkets from memorable adventures and encounters to put on it. Also, Cael plays the Inismore (Irish) fiddle, and has some skill at drawing. These were flavor elements that I want in the character but couldn't afford to put in with points.

Re: Anyone running any online games? Well, my character despises religious fanatics, so anyone going after your character will swiftly find two pistols in their face...

Re: Anyone running any online games? For character history purposes, what is the name of the town we're starting in?

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log Well, I do have a calling card...

Re: Secret Wars Campaign Log To be fair, Jack is an equal opportunity assassin...

Re: Anyone running any online games? Well. Initial things that come to mind might be an OCV bonus (sights, lighter weight, better balance, etc.), or maybe better bullets (AP?). And this.

Re: Anyone running any online games? Great stuff! I can't wait to get the team together.

Re: Anyone running any online games? Hey, better safe than sorry. I've had GMs screw me over for less...

Re: Anyone running any online games? Alright, looks like my character is basically done. In the interest of not bombarding the thread with constant updates, I will delay posting the final version of him until I get details needed for the background and the weapon builds. Also, I wanted to confirm something with you. The two weapon fighting I intend for ranged only, and the Rulebook says that I should ask GM permission. So, is it cool for Cael to roll with a brace of pistols?

Re: Anyone running any online games? Ok, sounds about right. What do you think of the build I have in my latest hdc file? It sounds like I built it pretty close to what you decided, but it might take even more time. Around a minute maybe?

Re: Anyone running any online games? From what I understand, this setting comprises of several colonial nation-states based upon real-world historical nation-states (England/GB, Spain, France, etc...), who have established colonies in the New World, (area based upon Atlantic Seaboard/Caribbean), in which we will be playing. As far as I'm aware, technology and culture is approximately the same as the real-world inspirations, but there is magic. So, think of Pirates of the Caribbean with the names switched around and maybe a minor location change. My character has already been posted, so just look for my latest HD file. Basically, he's a former marine who hails from "Ireland," and knows a bit of voodoo though his adventures in the "Caribbean." DaltWisney's character, from what I understand, is a thief/rapscallion from "England."
