Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. Varos had headed off to the town of Baca trying to find supplies that could not be found in town. I began working on building a wagon, when I heard Talon screaming and yelling. I quickly moved to find him standing over a peasant, with his sword sticking out of...

Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. Seeing as we were low on supplies it was decided that we should head back for more supplies. Adon prayed for guidance and decided to stay, Logos would not leave without him. The night before we left, Logos told his Earth elemental to find him a deer. The next ...

LJ

Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. This quest is really getting to me. Adon followed the voice, and picked me up and carried me when I tried to stop him. He then tried to force me into a crawl space. Then he started dancing around, and poking Logos while he meditated. Logos got mad and they had...

Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. On our journey westward, we came across a Priestess from the Church of Light and Dark. She said she was heading west as well, and we let her join us. On the way, Logos told her that I had left the church and decided to follow another god. I explained the situa...

LJ

Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. The spot where the trail ended was not an ideal fording location, so we ventured down the river in hope of finding such a location, to no avail. We then decided to build a raft, and camped out for the night in the forest. Logos had chained the orc slaves toget...

Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. My half-brother Logos the Earth Warlock and I set off on our brother Birch's trail. We tracked it southward for hours, and decided to continue on even as night fell. In the distance we spotted large pyres, and Logos went ahead to check it out. As I waited, I b...

LJ

Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. First order of business after returning home was to speak with Birch, and trying to repay his loan with some of the treasure I had found. The scabbard to the magic sword was encrusted with jewels, and after appraising them, I had more than enough to repay his ...

LJ

Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. After spending the night outdoors, we continued our search for the Ogres. After some time of searching, we headed back to the inn to check with the other search parties if they found anything, but they all came back empty handed. I asked my brother Talon the m...

LJ

Augustus Longfellow Moonhawk's journal. After returning to the tavern and planning on locating the uncouth vagabonds that had been stealing the traps, I decided to discuss with the proprietor of the inn that I now own the land on his side of the river. Once he came to an understanding and a tax was ...

You left out the part where Moe was trying to oversee the orcs making and spreading fertilizer, and because of his failed language rolls, causing them to fling manure everywhere.

LJ

I've been pretty lazy about it. Not sure if I will ever get to it.

LJ

I had summoned an ALpine Monitor lizard, and one night it woke up really hungry and was going to eat some of my companions. I ended up feeding it, and sending it to wake up another PC by licking him in the face. He woke up to see a giant albino monitor lizard smiling at him, with meaty chunks stuck ...

LJ

Lot's of hilarious stuff with my Summoner. -Level 1, I summoned something, tried to command it, ended up popping out of the protective part while trying to dodge people getting thrown at it. Was then picked up, and almost had my head punched off. -An old wise elf was walking past each of the PCs, te...

There's a metrosexual dude?

Misfit KotLD wrote:Why the hell did the survivalist want to trade books and dice for a working pistol with ammo?

I have no clue. None of the books were that useful. and everyone in the party knew about the Wacko's pistol hatred.

LJ

The party had just recently participated in a large rescue mission, recruited some NPCs, and were working on organizing and building up their base/forces. They live in a large walled-in warehouse. Main Party -Survivalist: Best friend of the Greasemonkey. Does not get along well with Wacko. -Wacko: H...

We totally should set up podcasts of our games.

I don't think the world is ready for 10 hours of the Jeridu doing anything.

Not sure, but next session will probably have that happen.

So, the answer is LJ wins when a Beast Master and a Druid fight some lions. I feel sorry for the Druid trusting that the Beast master could do the job. Slow learning curve? He is a new PC, so he hasn't had much experience with the Jeridu Beast master. Although, many warning signs went off during th...

I feel sorry for the Druid trusting that the Beast master could do the job.

UR Leader Hobbes wrote:Yep he's one of the twisted individuals I have to GM. Oh and I'm sure the character he has been complaining about for months on end is the Jeridu.

I can't wait for next game, where if the both of them get back alive, the druid will steal the job offer for the Beast master.

LJ

I dream of a Circle of Transmutation. What? It's not like I plan on transforming other PCs into horrible abominations or anything......I just want to transform them into more useful things so I can get components to sell to alchemists.

LJ

One of the things I do for names is try to create a scheme like Rock Musicians, and then make a list of their names/bands/songs, and then use those. Town Names? "Hetfield" "Mustaine" Have a seedy part of town? "Skid Row" A gang of cutthroats? "The scorpions" B...

LJ

Another good place to look for trap ideas is in individual issues of Knights of the Dinner Table. Each one has some kind of evil, yet hilarious trap to unleash on PCs.

LJ

The teams are better balanced than that. You forgot to mention the Jeridu will probably run away, tattoo the names of his teammates on his arm because they fought bravely, then blame their deaths on whoever lives aside from himself (most likely on the summoner) I still find the tattoos hilarious, b...

LJ

Why do you want to know that!?! Who in the campaign is getting keel-hauled!?!

LJ

You know you're going to have to reshuffle these teams around. The Beastmaster totally has it in for the super awesome Summoner, I'm not really sure why though.

LJ

Actually, the Elder didn't say anything to me. He looked at me for a few moments, shook his head, and continued down the line.

LJ

Hopefully I'll have some more up soon, having a bit of writer's block.

LJ

Actually I was the first one to search around where the dwarves were digging and found the ore. Jameous started looking about the same time.

You also left out me using the giant monitor lizard to work on knocking down trees, and dragging the rocks out of the way where the Dwarves were digging.

LJ

I did not flee from the kraken!! I made my save vs. horror factor. I strolled out of the combat zone so that the other PCs....err...my lackeys could deal with it. I also had to protect my sidekick.

LJ

GMed again today, last time for a while because of finals and stuff. The party started off at the Survivalist's bunker, and they did not want the sawbones to leave because they still needed healing, and he knew where the bunker was. The survivalist went out alone to scavenge around some of garages i...

LJ

Okay, started off the adventure where the last one ended, with one addition. A friend came over for the weekend, so he made a sawbones with the ex-athlete background to join in. I added him into the adventure by having him in his white Ford Bronco in a low-speed chase with bugged-cops, he ended up g...

Adventure 1, Part 2 I started the game off with Hobbes' character who had snuck over to enemy base in an old estate house. He waited for the gang to go to the town before climbing over the wall and going inside. While looking around he heard a couple guys complaining about guard duty. He went up to ...

LJ

Hmm...looking back at the food chart, I think I may want to add stuff about how many people each one can keep people reasonably fed. A Small farm isn't going to do a larger group decently fed, and a small group with a large farm is going to have a lot to spare.

LJ

Pretty cool. I think I may design some kind of troop transport truck to move these and a bunch of guys right up front into a battle.

LJ

So I GMed today. 4 of the guys had characters based off of themselves, and the 5th made a random hillbilly. Hobbes-Freebooter an Egghead(with a military background) Greasemonkey Survivalist and a Killbilly(class from some fansite) I had started them off in the prison cell of a Splatterpunk gang in M...

LJ

Having the guys make PCs based off themselves like my original campaign. I'm also going to have it take place in the same campaign world(so I can use old campaign notes AND use the original group's characters NPCs...because I'm lazy ) (Those notes can be found in the http://forums.palladium-megavers...

Personally I blame all the Exo-Squad and Aliens I've been watching lately. Plus I've also been replaying Earth Defense Force where a huge part of the game is fighting giant ants and spiders, and a few levels you can hop into a really slow moving battlesuit that can mow down everything in front of yo...

Yeah, I'm using some of the stuff from that. And the guild creator from one of the Rifters to go over the the low tech stuff that people have been forced to used for communications, etc.

LJ

I've had the idea to modify one of the org creating tables like the ones in N&SS, and Rifts: Mercenaries for a while. I've finally gotten around to starting on it. Things to expect: I've scaled down starting points, as well as split up several of the things so they need to be purchased separatel...

I've only seen the crossbow and the chakram throwing device, and I can totally see both of those making it into SF. Especially the Chakram throwing device. It was pretty funny when his seat broke.

m Caught parts of the show on Wednesday and saw some neat things like a guy turning a sporting clays' trap into a razor disc launcher, and a pneumatic crossbow. This show definitely has a lot of good ideas for a Greasemonkey type character, or characters stuck in a campaign without a lot of firearms...

Another good way to start up a campaign is by having the PCs start off by having little or no gear, and they just escaped from a large Splatterpunk gang or from silkworm zombies bringing them to get bugged. Any gear they have was grabbed from one of their captors. Something like this.... All of you ...
