I'll start at nine then.

Don't delay it for me. Sure at 9 what happens if the Mrs hops on my irresistible bod, might not be able to post until 9.03.
Start at 8.30!

Fourier

9.00 unless Banjo's missus jumps him, in which case we'll start up to a minute later.

Fourier

Thread up.

Banjo I can't understand a word your character is saying. Lol.

Banjo

I painted myself into a corner. I took a hindrance that means I can't speak english. Then when I presented my back story, Four needed certain things cleared up, which ended up with her having enough of a grasp that *she* thinks she can speak english. So I had to drop the hindrance but keep the accent.

And since I can't speak Haitian Creole and can only approximate it by translating half my sentences into french, saying them to myself in my generic Caribbean accent and spelling them phonetically, it comes out as nonsense. But I think if you listen to "Jammin'" by Bob Marley a few times, then read it out exactly as it's spelled.... nah, still makes no sense...

Necro

Why in God's name would you take a hindrance not allowing you to speak English :pac:

Banjo

Yeah, I should have just turned up in Chaps and a raincoat with a napoleon complex!
Because it's purely a role-play penalty, and in exchange I get half an edge. I can start talking perfect english any time I want, and the only penalty is that I don't earn Bennies.

But I figure, you all learned to read Tigger, so you can learn to read this too

Necro

Not a Napoleon complex

Tigger

i hadn;t notoced anything

Fourier

Quite busy today and possibly tomorrow. Normal service back on Saturday.

Digital Solitude

That is an epic cake in all fairness. Happy Birthday Jack, if that even is your real name!

Banjo

Are you suggesting he ordered that cake himself with a "I have this friend... uh... 'Jack'...yeah, his name is Jack - he's really into D&D the saddo! But I want to buy me him a cake..."

Ah, you're only as young as the person you feel. And that's why my Leap Card has Lifetime Ban stamped on it, but sure I need the exercise anyway.

Digital Solitude

Thanks chaps,

My mother rang the cake maker

"Hi CM, want to order a cake for Js birthday, he's in Dragons and Dungeons and phones, geeky stuff like that"

She did a great job with feck all to go off in fairness

Digital Solitude

Who's playing Shadowrun by the way? And how are ye finding it? Dropping a group shortly so I might have time to return to a game here

Banjo

Shadowrun hasn't kicked off. Given that it was Tigger's preferred game, I'd be very surprised to see any move on it while he's recuperating in Tahiti. So roll up a character or two!

The idea was (I think) that it's one night, one run - episodic, so if you can do it one week and not another, that shouldn't be an issue, but if you commit to the Run you commit to the Run, start to finish; It would also mean that the people playing on a given night would be defined by the job (or more likely, the job would be defined by who could play) so you get that kind of Mission Impossible / Dick Tracey feeling of assembling a team of specialists to surgically pick apart whatever Four throws at us rather than just throwing a bunch of street rats into a grinder and seeing what kind of burger comes out.

Oh Banjo, you have such a way with words...

I'll take a peek then so...

Necro

Anyone interested in a meet-up?

Forum Games Beers

Info here if you're interested.

Necro

Might be time to dust off this old thread if there is further talk of a new D&D campaign.

Plus there's a certain thread we still have to smite....

Fourier

Agreed.

Necro

If it's D&D and you're taking sign ups Fourier - count me the heck in.

Haven't decided on a character yet, but looking back at the start of this thread, I slotted in as a dwarf because the party needed one. It worked out... very well I want to say

If others, or new players have a specific class they wish to try out I don't mind doing the same for this campaign

Fourier

So people know we'll be doing 5th Ed this time, but with rules from the dungeon masters guide to keep first edition lethality.

Tigger

I shal play
