    btw posting character backstories and synopsis is nice and all but not very useful if you don't also post a character sheet

    thus far horseshoe is the only one to have done so

    just sayin'

    Horseshoe:
    You were supposed to run away like scared children, fleeing with voices pitched high.

    Ah in that case it would've ended with all of us dead.

    Sweet.

    It was fun though.

    technically, I think the idea was you were to help the townsfolk escape, and go with them. But the other way sounds better.

    I think they were planning to try and lead it away from the town on horseback or something.

    A noble sacrifice, to be sure.

    Yeah, i think was playing a cleric (finally found her statblock) who kinda rallied a "distraction" to let townspeople escape.

    You know... "So Crazy It Just Might Work"

    One of us got eaten.

    By the way, let's look how that cleric would be 4th-editionized a lil bit.

    AC: 7 (scale) +1 (shield) = 18
    Ref: 1 (dex) +2 (shield) +10 = 13
    Will: 3 (wis) +2 (cleric) =15
    Basic Attack: Bastard Sword +5 (1d10+2)
    Basic Attack: Longbow +3 (1d10+1)

    Cripes, man.

    This was how much better clerics were than any other class in core 3.5... and the designers did it on purpose.

    has anyone who isn't Horseshoe posted a character sheet yet?

    otherwise it will have to be Horseshoe by himself

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    i know a dude who bought one of those hook-ups that TV stores use to split a video signal to multiple TVs so you can have like a wall of TVs making one display

    he set it up so we could play goldeneye and perfect dark on

    it was rad as fuck

    It's annoying sure, but you have to expected it in split screen. Now, when you are using it to line up sniper shots it becomes hilarious.

    There was a time he asked me stand still and using both of our screens picked a guy off more or less on the other side of the map.

    four

    he split the signal so that, you know, each TV would make a quarter of the screen

    and then, instead of having them all together, we separated them so you couldn't see each other's screens

    made setting up the games kind of a pain in the ass but we got used to it

    it was a lot of fun, back in the days before things like system links and online gaming really existed

    hey smart hero, watched that video you recorded on the touch screen table thing.

    7, like any other WoD character

    don't bother with the following merits:
    Allies
    Mentor
    Resources
    Retainer
    Status

    because, as a dead person, those things won't count for much!

    (contacts and fame may still come up later, though, so are okay)

    also don't worry about equipment, because that will be drastically changed by the opening adventure

    That'd be neat, though kinda small isn't it? maybe if you could network a bunch so you can interact on the map so you don't got like 5 dudes looking at one screen.

    Then it would be like playing DnD in star trek.

    Vinton Mason<---link to Myth-Weaver's sheet.
    smoking_silhouette.jpg
    Vinton was a assistant engineer at Disney World. A dream job, for some probably, but for him he hated it. He didn't want to be working on Little Mermaid's Ocean Adventure or some more bullshit like that. He wanted to make things that actually had some purpose. A young man in his mid-twenties he always planned to go into some other research and development job, maybe with the military. He was certainly smart enough to do it, just never bothered.

    He usually sat in the tiny office space within the rides and smoked a little and read some books, fictional and more scientific. His hair was long and brown, slightly greasy and pulled back into a dorky ponytail. He wore glasses and one or two bits of acne usually marked his face. Despite this he could be somewhat attractive if he ever bothered. He never did.

    On a quiet day in the park, the manager contacted him and told him there was a malfunction in Space Mountain. He sighed and pulled the cigarette from his mouth, exhaling a long, lazy wisp of smoke. He set down Cat's Cradle and said, "Ya, on my way."

    He died that day of by over a thousand volts of electricity coursing through his body, through a faulty, open wire within the walls of Space Mountain.
