    So.....
    You have been to encounter groups that don't have women awkwardly watching or attempting to join in?
    Is it wrong of me to talk to these women instead of trying to join the game?

    I played in a 3.5 campaign using Fantasy Grounds, I'm sure my license information is still floating around my desk

    http://www.fantasygrounds.com/

    good screenshot: http://www.fantasygrounds.com/images/screenshots/fg2-screenshot-05.jpg

    We would do all IC chat and actions in the client, while hanging out and chatting about whatever in teamspeak. It's a cool program, but it requires a lot of the GM. They have to figure out all of the functions and upload/stat out their stuff to make use of everything. It's pretty sublime once it's going though. You get to pick the color of your dice and physically roll them around. There's a fancy combat tracker with initiative and everyone's status. The GM can upload pictures for everyone to see and draw/place grids on them. S/he can hit a button that turns your screen dark or a different color for atmosphere.

    actually it was kinda goddamn awesome

    I still have the fantasy that I might one day get to know a group of people online and play a long virtual tabletop/skype campaign. It seems like a potentially great way to play the game!

    The problem I have when playing with my local friends is that we inevitably lose momentum within 10 sessions, so we never really get anywhere.

    ugh

    should I go for one crossbow for sniping purposes

    or two hand crossbows for style

    my character does have a background as a sniper, but it is in a city setting...

    hmm

    Why not both?

    Plus a shoulder-mounted ballista.

    the thought has crossed my mind

    but I'm running out of feat space, unfortunately

    definitely want to do the sniping thing

    but I can trade out a standard crossbow proficiency dual hand crossbows

    yeah, okay, the second definitely looks more ridiculous with a minotaur

    going with that

    I think this is actually possible

    I think there's a shoulder-mounted weapon of some kind as a warforged component and that could be added to a minotaur with the self-forged paragon path?

    Self-forged is an Artificer paragon path.

    AND adding warforged components is a level 16 thing for Self-Forged.

    So it'd be a long-con.

    Roll20 is good even if you're doing a PbP.

    super rough but they're also the first things i've ever painted ever. there's also touch-ups i've done since, like fixing the destroyer's ax, doing a darker metallic for the flats of the axes to offset the shiny edge, and doing the black trim on the juggernaut

    Not bad at all lord of butts.

    I suck at painting myself. I lost all my old pictures though so gimme a minute and I will show you one of my jacks.

    I have a possible thing going on over here with a fourth edition game

    The GM is not allowing warforged, but I can be a kobold artificer
    I should take the self-forged path and a laser pistol
    Become a pulp sci-fi action hero

    oh man lemme sell warmachine to you

    "warmachine fucking owns and is incredibly simple to play and you can be imperial russia with steampunk robots or super catholics wielding holy fire or elves but fuck elves OR you can play hordes and be dragon ninjas or scottish trolls or elephants"

    i have probably 300 dollars of khador (the one i linked that's painted), mostly infantry/casters, with a couple heavy 'jacks for good measure, another 100-150 of Legion of Everblight (dragon ninjnas) and then just the contents of the two-player box for my menoth (fist-pumping supercatholic robot)

    @DouglasDanger

    basically, all of the rules that you need are in the Gamma World base set
    it's a simplified version of 4e that works on its own.

    However, I find that the Rules Compendium is an excellent resource for D&D 4th Edition, D&D Essentials, and Gamma World alike. It explains basically everything, even if it does have way more rules in it than what is used in a normal game of any of the three.

  • DenadaDenada Registered User regular
    Hey, if Stilts picked you for the group, you should send me a description of your character and a background (or questions about background if you're not very familiar with Eberron). You probably already posted it somewhere before but I don't really want to go digging if I can cajole you into sending it to me directly. You should also start thinking about:

    -How long you've been a member of The Extraordinaries.
    -What your last mission together was.
    -Where you are now, three months after that mission.

    I think I will just buy the gw book for now, see if i get to play it and if i enjoy that. if things go well, then i could buy more books.
