Welcome to the new RPG. Now, we don't want this to turn into a Phantom Returns, or even a League of Intergalactic Cosmic Champions. This is a strictly fantasy RPG with no futuristic technology or 20th Century icons, such as Pokemon, Teletubbies, Furbies, etc. Also, aliens and soforth from Star Wars, Star Trek or any other series are not permitted, but "stock" denizens from fantasy are allowed, such as trolls, goblins, etc. GundamWolf started this idea, so I might need him to second or veto any of the rules I stated, but I think this is how he wants it.

You've pretty much hit the nail right on the head, Padawan, old chum! Although feel free to steal ideas from movies that can be modified to fit a fantasy game; for instance, if you like Darth Maul, you CAN have a double-bladed sword, but it won't be a lightsaber! (They added this weapon to D&D when they came out with 3rd Edition recently)

My character will be using one...or two! ;)

I do have one request for those who post here; if you make a post out of character, like this one, please use the color blue, like I'm doing. This color will be reserved for out of character posts so that they are easier to find if you need to...or if you want to skip reading them!

One other thing I would like to continue, even though it is humorous; feel free to keep posting silly E-Mail addresses! I like it, and I feel it won't affect the tone of the RPG! Just make the E-mail address fit the post you're making!

Since I think using a modified name taken from a Japanese Anime series about Giant Robots is inappropriate, I'm also dropping the GundamWolf name. From now on, call me Bladewolf! I'll still be using GundamWolf in L.I.C.C., however! (I'll explain the Wolf thing later; no, its not my real name!)

Uh...Padawan, you gonna change your name, too? How about we call you Loremaster, Sage, or something like that here? (Don't even THINK about using Merlin! LOL)

I don't think using L.I.C.C. I.D.'S would be appropriate here either, if the I.D. is the name of your character; for instance, Nawdle or KAM could still use those names, but Captain Tacoman or Adon? NO WAY!

Everyone who wants to be involved, flesh out your character and story ideas. I think we should take some time to consider things carefully before we start. If its okay with everyone, post your ideas here, but I don't think we should start the story until, oh, about Friday!

It's all blue to me . . . .

I think I'll change my name from 'The red guy' to 'The Multicoloured Man' Alright?

Padawan is a Jedi Apprentice so I might call myself Squire at one point. I will play a few characters, with one or two main ones.

To the red man, take it to New Menace where we've been having a "It's all XXXX to me" thread. You may have been part of it.

At the tavern...

And so, I was cornered. Nowhere to run... but then I saw a flint! Remembering the words the old man told me, I threw the flint at the creature, hoping the old man was not as crazy as he looked... and it was slain!

People clap.

Ugly guy: How do we know that's true?

Because I have the creature's eye!

Displays the eye. People cheer.

Non-ugly guy: Get him another drink!

Sorry, didn't read that last bit. I'll repost on Friday, if it still fits.

I would suggest that each author have only one main character but can play any number of minor supporting cast members who show up for a few posts.

(The tavern door swings open, and a figure steps out of the stormy, cold night. Shaking the rainwater from his brown, coarse cloak, he walks across the common room to an empty table. He motions for an ale, then sits back to survey the room with interested eyes.)

Who are you? Where do you come from? And you know you must have a story to tell if you want our finest ale, and not the filth they serve to any-old-body.

Everyone except the Stranger laughs

Na, pulling your leg. But you look mysterious, like you've got something to tell.

Well, I come from a very far-off land, I doubt any of you have heard of it. I'm just taking a...I'm just wandering around this land, looking for any adventure, perhaps a profitable one. You are a knight, sir?

(takes a drink of ale)

Mmm. This place is better than it appears. My name? Call me...Keeran.

(takes another drink)

So what is the name of this establishment? I only saw the bunch-of-grapes tavern sign outside, I didn't catch the name. It's a fierce storm outside.

(Keeran reaches back and lowers his hood, revealing the hilt of a silvery two-handed sword in a scabbard on his back.)

I am a Knight, Keeran. Is it Sir Keeran or just Keeran?

Well, the tavern doesn't really have a name as far as I know, most people call it the "[Rooster] and Bull" because of the stories people tell!

An adventure you say? What sort of adventure?

Just then a Fireball reigns down, incinerating the bar and everyone in it. No one, including Sir Bowen and Keeran, survives; they're all reduced to ashes!

Sorry. That WAS necessary!

1. This isn't Friday! Re-read my first two posts here, people!

2. I'm running the tavern where the heroes are based, so I get to name it! Go re-read my posts in Cybersoap Confessions that led up to the creation of this board!

However, if these people want to play, let `em. I'm begging everyone else to wait until Friday and to ignore this storyline garbage that's already been posted, even after Friday! If I was an Admin, I'd have erased your posts! *hint, hint!*

BTW, regarding silly characters; if you must...*sight*....either be a jester (won't be doing much adventuring, I'm afraid) or a Bard. If you don't want to do that, make your character a klutz!

Also, I feel that the rule about killing off other people's characters should be relaxed a little, because clerics can always bring a dead character back to life! (One exception; any silly characters like Furby show up and die, they're dead for good; the gods won't allow them to be brought back!) I put characters who ALWAYS speak in rhyme in the outright silly category, so be forewarned! heh, heh!

Well THAT was a little abrupt. Couldn't you have "frozen" time until Friday, instead of killing off two new characters? I don't think simply establishing characters and conversation could do any harm, as long as we don't jumpstart a storyline, do you?

(Keeran the Stranger takes another sip of his drink.)

Well met, Sir Knight. No, I don't think you would recognize any titles I may have, and I don't think revealing them would be beneficial. I am just Keeran the Stranger here.

What sort? Well, any sort of adventure, as long as we might find some treasure or a valuable item. I would advise waiting until Friday, though.

(Keeran smiles and finishes his ale.)

May I buy you a drink? Bartender, another round.

Of course, Bladewolf, if you don't like what we've established about the location, Sir Bowen and Keeran the Stranger can always travel to another town, the place where your tavern is. I don't want to ruin any story ideas you may have.

Okay, that sounds like a good idea, Keeran. Feel free to even cut up a few orcs or something, but no introing of planned villains or long storylines. Sorry about my rant earlier; I'm a little under weather, but that's no excuse.

By the way, some info Pada...er..Loremaster might find interesting; in 3rd edition D&D, characters can take on a prestige class when they learn enough abilities (usually by 10th level). One of these prestige classes is called a Loremaster; basically a Loremaster is a Mage-Sage (or should that be Sage-mage? I'm so confused!)

One more thing....sorry...forgot to add it to my last post....For heaven's sakes, unless your character is in heavy disguise or invisible, please give a description of what they wook...er, look...like! (Sorry; the Looney Tunes storyline in L.I.C.C.'s starting to get to me!)

Oh...terribly sorry. Keeran the Stranger is a young-looking man of about 25, although the look of experience in his eyes makes him appear ancient. He always wears a brown coarse-cloth greatcloak, with a hood. He has brown hair and grey eyes, with a light complexion. His eyes abruptly change from grey to deep blue in times of great stress or anger. (I've always been facinated with people whose eyes change color, depending on emotions.) He has a large two-handed sword, made of a strange metal. He wears mithril chain mail over a brown tunic, a leather belt, black trousers and brown leather boots. He sometimes carries a rucksack, which is actually a bag of holding. It in he carries a number of useful items. He is an itinerant wanderer, but he is a good fighter and has several powerful magic spells.

I have no D&D experience, but I assume this character fits the bill.

That'll work perfectly, Keeran, or whoever you are. Mithril, huh? Obviously a Tolkien fan....

Anyhow, after reading the newest post on the L.I.C.C. board (Plot Complication's, look it up), I thought I might need to make a new rule so that certain individuals (two in particular....you listening, Webber?) can't bring in pre-existing characters; a property of the dimension this fantasy world is in prevents beings from other universes from entering it (or beings from this dimension from exiting to another universe). This property is divine, and cannot be overcome by science or sorcery, so don't even think about bringing Greymoran or Radagast here! The effect this property has on anyone who tries to enter this dimension is thus; the being is knocked unconscious for several hours and is unable to use any dimension-spanning, teleporting, or time-travelling powers for one week after waking up! NO EXCEPTIONS!

I apologize if I'm coming off like a jerk, but I feel that these rules need to be stressed AND ENFORCED! If anyone is offended, I'm sorry.


I've also come up with an idea for a region in this world, based partly on a story from one of my D&D campaign; there is a land, quite near the land where the heroes will be based, that is under a curse of perpetual ice and snow. A god cursed the land, quite unfairly, for something that happened. This land will be called Wynterholm, and its inhabitants are a race of Elves, known as the Frozen. These Elves have pure white hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. Some even have blue skin! As a result of this curse, these Elves have a chill to their skin, even in the hottest desert. This gives them a high degree of resistance to fire, and they are completely immune to ice and cold effects of any kind.

What do you think? Loremaster, I want you to create a race too. Anyone else who wants can also do so. But please, try to come up with completely new races, not variations of pre-existing ones, like my elves!

Wouldn't the Frozen be susceptible to fire?

Any way, new race idea: The Eri.

This are a race of tall, light, willowy creatures who live in floating cities in the sky. They have membranes connecting their arms to their sides, and gliding on air currents is an art among their kind. They have hooked noses, and long fingers and toes. Very few land-bound creatures ever get to see one, with the fortunate visitors brought up to their cities by magic. Their mages can control the weather, using spells to create great thunder and lightning. Eri have very little strength, but have great mental powers and are extremely intelligent. From their floating vantage points and with their mind-reading powers, Eri scholars document the affairs of the races on the earth below to add to their great libraries.

A few last things for now....(geez, three posts in a row by me, and look how long they are! Long-winded ol' cuss, ain't I?)

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR, everbody!

Second, I want to explain why I'm qualified to make all of these rules and be a creator:

a. I've been a D&Der for almost 15 years
b. I'm a writer, although I prefer to write mysteries and sci-fi
c. I read a LOT of fantasy novels

Third, I want to give you a taste of what I have planned for the first story:

I call it `How The Gods Kill'. I think that was the name of a heavy metal song from the late `80's or early `90's. Danzig, I believe. (If anyone knows and I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.) Anyway, it involves some of the gods venting their wrath on a neighboring country, and the heroes have do something (I won't say what) to stop them from committing genocide.

Fourth, this is going to be the last post I make for a while. I'm gonna be busy watching the Iron Chef marathon on Food TV!

Fifth, and finally, Nawdle, where are you? I want you involved! Yoo-Hoo!

I'm also making a post in Cybersoap Confessions. Go read it.

Keeran, you were posting the same time I was! Regarding your new race....I like! But, I don't know if we should have an Eri on the team just yet if anyone's considering it. Maybe by board II....of course, at this rate, we may REACH board II by Friday! How about having an Eri be an advisor to the heroes? He could be sort of like a Watcher, if you're familiar to the Highlander t.v. series. That sounds like what you're going for....

Anyway, Iron Chef's on, so I reckon I'll see ya'all later. (Yes, I'm southern. Got a problem with it?)

Well, I've never played D&D, but I play several computer games of the "Roguelike" genre which are heavily based on D&D. Fantasy books, eh? Ever read Eddings or Feist? Those two authors are my favorites.

I was thinking of having the party visit an Eri city at some time or another.

Why don't we call this board the first BTS&S&D&D Discussion board, and create a new board for the first adventures?

By the way, from my experience on LICC, I've learned: Never plan an entire storyline in advance. Too many different things could happen to ruin your ending. Best just to let things run their course and give the story a few nudges in the right direction when needed.

Never read Eddings, Keeran (go read the Cybersoap Confessions board....I have an idea who you are...two suspects, as a matter of fact), but I have read Feist. I'm trying to find a classic novel called The Worn Ourobouros by E.R. Eddison, but its apparently out of print, and the used bookstores where I live...the less said about them, the better!

I agree this should just be a discussion board and not the adventure itself. Also, I haven't planned the whole blasted adventure in advance! I'm not that dense! I've just planned the motivation for the first adventure; actually completing the mission that will stop the gods' wrath may even take several adventures (picking up clues along the way, and all that). I don't plan on writing complete adventures, just the basis, and letting everyone else run with it!

I'm going to spend the next couple of days working on some ideas....I've already created a god....*hint:he was the one who threw the Fireball when I was p.o.'d at the start of this board! He's the god of vengeance. You'll all be hearing about him later!*

Oh, one last thing....I went to the Archives earlier and looked at the Roll Call: Loremaster, does your last name rhyme with beach or fetch?

Can I keep the Sir Bowen character, Bladewolf? I said I was sorry and forgot to read the Friday bit, and said we might start again on Friday, with me reposting. OK?

You may call me Robar. I have come looking for adventure and dragons to slay.

Sir Bowen, you can keep the character, under one condition....tell me how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsi....never mind! Yes, you can keep the character, but please descibe what he looks like! I like him, even if I do have trouble remembering the name (read Cybersoap Confessions; I referred to him as Sir what's his face). I like Kerran, too, and I'm mad at myself for not recognizing the description! (again, see Cybersoap Confessions)
BTW, Nawdle's not going to be involved in the board for a while; I'm keeping him filled in on what's going on by E-Mail and phone, and he does read the board, he just doesn't post.

Re: Robar....

Character description, please!

Okay, here we go....I'm giving ya a bone....

A young boy, perhaps 10 or 11, wearing a blue herald's robe with a purple sash, walks into the tavern. He looks around for a minute, then walks over and hands Sir Bowen something, and says:

"I was told to give this to a man matching your description. I hope you're the right person."

He turns around and leaves, running out of the piece of parchment, and a map. The parchment says 'Sir Bowen, your services are needed in Thornbriar as soon as possible. I cannot expound on this further until we meet in person; the danger is too great, the circumstances most dire. Come to the Bumbling Badger, at the edge of town. I will be there for a week. If I am not there, one of my representatives will be. As many allies as you can bring with you will be greatly appreciated....and rewarded, if they accomplish the task I have in mind.'

There is no signature on the parchment. The map shows that Thornbriar is at least a four days' ride from your present location.

Before you even ask, no, the Bumbling Badger isn't the tavern I'm going to be running. The Bumbling badger is an inn, and Thornbriar isn't the town my tavern is in! You gentleman (I assume Robar's a gentlemen; they haven't said yet whether its a man or a woman!) can post your adventures during the journey to Thornbriar, but don't even think about reaching it until Friday! I can always conjure up another Fireball! (Just kidding; I wouldn't do that to you twice; I can always come up with something more devious!)

A man dressed in silver and black walks into the bar. He is carrying a lute, and his left hand appears to be made of silver.

Greetings gentles all!

Noman Gilinde Celebrimbor am I, a bard of the harp. Barkeep! A glass of your best elvish wine, please!

There is a loud disturbance outside the tavern; a crashing sound, followed by the sound of at least three horses passing by at full gallop, and finally the swift, sharp sound of blades being drawn!

Yep, I'm about to intro MY character!

Anyone who looks out of the tavern sees two seedy looking men in dirty leather armor armed with shortswords attacking another man. He is wearing a blue cloak with a hood that hides his features, and black studded leather armor, with small spikes on the shoulders and the wrists, and is seemingly defenseless. As the two thugs move in to attack, he reaches back and draws two strange-looking swords; both are double-bladed, with him holding each weapon by a handle in between each blade. Each blade is a strange silvery color, and the handles are made of what appears to be onyx.

Sir Bowen is about 30-35, but because this is the olden days he looks older. He has a red beard, which extends up the sides of his face but isn't very large. He wears clunky Viking-like armor and is of medium build, looking larger with all the armor.

(The ales arrive, and as Keeran hoists his, he spots movement through the dirty window of the tavern. He motions to Sir Bowen, and together they watch the man in black and blue draw his weapons against the ruffians.)

Got to admire courage, although the hooded one out there looks fairly confident. Shall we examine the situation at first hand, Sir Knight?

(Keeran drops several coins on the table to pay for their drinks, winks and tosses another coin to the pretty serving girl, then he casually makes his way toward the door.)

Now...to re-post my missing post....

The two thugs move in, too stup.d to be intimidated by the man's unusual weapons. There are a series of clangs and clashes as blades are parried. One of the two thugs tries to slash at the man's throat, but he dodges, punches the thug in the face, then kills him with a wicked blow to the chest that cuts right too the bone. The man backs up as the body falls, spinning the strange double-swords in his hands, then dodges the other thug and decapitates him. Undaunted, he replaces the weapons in their scabbards behind his back, then steps into the tavern.
He looks around for a few seconds, then reaches up and pulls back his cloak's hood, revealing....

Whoops! Gotta go!

Uhhh....one more thing...The Observer is a L.I.C.C. universe character; you shouldn't be here. (Read the previous posts; no dimension-hopping!) If you're going to post here, use a different name, please! I don't want any names associated with L.I.C.C. here!

Oh....and BladeWolf isn't my character's name.... You'll find out what it is very soon! I'm waiting for Robar to make another post before I say anything else in-story.

I wasn't going to post, but I also think that the last few posts when Bladewolf lost his temper be removed. And I told Bladewolf he shouldn't let his emotions get the better of him like that.

The Observer is also the author name. Since it isn't LICC-specific and he often uses the name on other areas, I think he has as much right to call himself it as Greg Brookshier would to call himself Nawdle.

Uh...okay, now that I think about it, that works...

Anyway, I think I owe it to everyone to explain why I've been acting like a jerk lately (I'm doing this mainly because Nawdle\Greg, in our private conversations about this, is about to get on my last nerve; what I am about to post has been explained to him more than one time:

I don't know why, maybe its the weather, maybe its the end\beginning of the year, but about this time every year (years?) I get depressed and easily angered for a few days; Not every year, however; around the end of 1999\beginning of 2k, I was fine. I don't think I've explained it on the boards, but on the Tuesday before Christmas, I tore up my right elbow pretty badly (I'm left handed, btw); I've got a radial crack in the elbow joint. It doesn't require a cast, but it hurts like you-know-what!
I'm sorry about the way I've acted; bear with me; I should be over this in a day or two; Nawdle has even suggested that he would ask that I be banned from the boards because of my actions; if he does so, fine, but I want you to know why, and I want to be allowed to make one last post.

You wish to know more about me. That you shall know. I am about 35 years of age. I am 6'7. The men in my family have been adventurers for several generations. I wish to do heroic deeds because unfortunely my father was a crooked knight and I want to bring back our family tradition of serving the king.

Okey-dokey, finey-winey! ( call me baby and spank my...er, nevermind!)

Like I said in the Username of my last post, my real name is Brian, but I want to state emphatically for the record that I am NOT Brian Webber! My last name starts with an `F'. Now...back to what you've all been waiting for; my character, revealed:

He looks around the room for a few seconds, then reaches up and pulls back his cloak's hood, revealing...uh, oh! bathroom break! (Just kidding!)...shoulder-length black hair and a mustache and goatee. He had piercing, dark blue eyes the color of sapphires. He announces to the room:

'My name is Dhalric Blacksilver, and I just killed two pieces of scum working for the thieves' guild. Let those who witnessed this know that I will brook no interference from their ilk! Anyone who crosses blades with me doesn't live to make the same mistake again!'

He walks over to the bar, sits down with his back to the wall, and orders a glass of the tavern's finest ale. He seems to be staring at Keeran as if he knows him.

Nawdle has even suggested that he would ask that I be banned from the boards because of my actions; if he does so, fine, but I want you to know why.

That was more or less an empty threat on my part everyone. I just wanted him to think before he posts while he's like this. And I'm sorry that I got on your nerves about this Brian (He's not Webber by the way.). Brian, e-mail with more info about this tavern, if it's posted here, still in your head or what have you. I want everything you've got.

Don't call me Brian here, Greg..er, Nawdle! Call me...BladeWolf! (Uh...did I ever explain what the deal is with using Wolf in my names?)

Uh...did I ever explain what the deal is with using Wolf in my names?

Not yet, BladeWolf, but does it have to do with a fondness for the canine derivative species?

And Nawdle, did you take your nom de plume from a Weird Al Yankovic song? Anyway...

(Keeran looks at the newcomer Blacksilver as if he's seen him before. He searches his memory but comes up with nothing. So he shrugs and takes a sip of ale.)

Ahh. Well met, neighbor. One couldn't help but be impressed by the way you handled those ruffians. Have you angered the local thieves' guild in some way?
(Keeran looks around and notices that most of the patrons of the tavern have moved to different tables, farther from his, Bowen's and Blacksilver's, and seem to be nervously staring at the imposing man in black. Keeran laughs.)

I think you startled them with your little speech, neighbor. Well, when they get deep into their cups they will probably forget all about it. From where did you come?

Yes, I like wolves; My character in the Shadowrun RPG is a Wolf Totem Street Shaman, as a matter of fact. And, yes, Nawdle's name comes from that blasted Weird Al Yankovic song `Smells like Nirvana!' (I like Weird Al...I'm just sick of that song!

The man is leaning backwards, his hands in a triangle position before him, a grim look on his face

I have come from the region of vile darkness known as the Shadow's Maw. There I encountered a strange old woman who showed me a vision after I rescued her from the clutches of a pack of zombies. In the vision, I saw you and your friend in the strange armor fighting, and dying in agony. Unfortunately, I could not see what you were fighting, except for a long, red arm with flames surrounding the hand. I asked around and found out who you are, and I followed you here after you left the last town you were in. I feel I must accompany the two of you on your next mission, whatever it may be.

The man with lute walks over to the table where Dhalric and Keeran are sitting.

Greetings good sirs! My pardon... I did not mean to eavesdrop, but did I hear you say you were going upon a quest? Mind if I sit down?

Sits down without waiting for an answer. He appears to be just this side of middle-aged, with black hair, deep brown eyes, and a neatly trimmed mustache. Up close, it can be seen that it is not a gauntlet, but that his left hand is definitely made of silver, and even more strange, there appear to be no mechanical joints in his hand. Upon his left hand he wears a ring with some sort of crest. He wears a longsword, and under his silver surcoat, he appears to be wearing black chainmail. Oddly enough, it made absolutely no jingling noises as he had walked across the room.

Noman Gilinde Celebrimbor of Darkwood and Vincible am I, a wandering bard of the harp. I desire to join you upon your quest.

Wolf, I did not remove your post & if the Chief did he would have said why.

I usually remove posts if they are a double post; have nothing to do with the topic or conversation; are obscene; or consist of insults.

I will edit posts if only part of the post is offensive & I will warn people if I think they are getting carried away.

And I am worshipped as the great god KAM!

Ooops! Got a little carried away there.

I would suggest that maybe you use this as a discussion area for your board & create a new one for the actual adventure. You can copy the story parts & post them there, leaving the annoying blue text here.

Well met, neighbor Noman.

Dying in agony? Strange dream, although I'll not discount its prophetic value. Well, men have run to their own deaths for less than a dream, not to cast aspersions on your own combat ability, Blacksilver. I daresay whatever adventure the fickle forces of fate point us to will be an interesting one.

Dhalric gives a quick glance around the room. He seems intrigued by Noman's silver appendage, focusing on it a second before taking a large gulp of his ale

Does anyone here have spellcasting or thieving abilities? I think we need to know what everyone's specialties are before we leave this place and head out into the wilderness. I myself as, you can see, am a master of the double-swords, and am also an accomplished tracker, animal trainer, and archer, and I have some minor spellcasting abilities as well. Nothing fancy, however; I can cause a campfire to burst into flame, or blast a locked door open, but I don't toss around lightning or turn people to frogs!
I was once a member of the thieves' guild when I was younger, so I also have some thieving skills, but I prefer not to use them.

He takes a sip of his ale, then looks at Noman

I noticed that you carry a musical instrument. Are you just a musician, or do you have any combat skills as well?

P.S. Moderator, would you please remove my rants and all of the posts related to them? They're embarrasing, and I'd rather not have to look at them!

In other words, Dhalric's basically a mid-level Ranger with some low levels as a Thief and a Sorcerer (New D&D class; they can cast spells without having to memorize them ahead of time from a spellbook)

Ooookay, people, I just read something on the L.I.C.C. board that has left me wondering; might Noman's and/or Sir Bowen's writer perchance be Ccabe?

Regarding characters, here: We need a female character (preferably written by a female, but its not necessary for it to be), some-nonhuman characters (Elf, anyone?) and a cleric. The latter part's a bit tricky, as none of the gods here have been created yet (except the god of vengeance, whose name by the way, is Aphostorus).

I am Cascerot, Demon prince of the Underworld, My flame whip, black sword, and full mastery of the black art of necromancy, makes short work of my enemies and creates new servants for my cause. All mortals tremble before my flaming appearence. However, I was kicked out by Scott Ennius, Lord of Death, over a small issue involving paper products. I would wish to join your party as a non human character.

One question, BladeWolf. What do you want the new adventure-only board to be called? I'd thought I would create it with the adventure posts and save KAM some trouble.

Indeed, friend Dhalric, I have some skills in both those areas. I have some skill with the magicks of Nature, as well as some nimbleness, though this (raises his left hand) does cause some small problems now and again.

In other words, Noman is an original AD&D Bard.

Also, I am skilled in the matter of using two blades. I fight well with Ringis (pats his longsword) in the one hand, and a dagger in the other.

Typo, the sword's name is "Ringris".

I like your characters so far; Cascerot (man, that name sounds waaay too close to Kakkarot, Goku's Saiyan name from DragonballZ! Is that just a coincidence?) sounds pretty...unusual! (Guess which character's gonna get trusted less by the othets!)


One more thing: I'm not too happy about the Baldur's Gate board that's popped up; its obviously Webber's work, but this board has an advantage over his; we get to actually create this game world; his has long been established!

Did I Metion That I am quite adept with sword?

The resembleance is intentional. The Gods of Nitworld are Japanimation fans. But I assure you my hair will not turn blonde everytime I need to fight a powerful opponent.

Observer, I have absolutely no idea what to call the adventure-only board! I've been leaning toward `Adventures in Castin' and Hackin', but that kind of sucks! If anyone has any suggestions, lets hear `em!

(Cascerot, did I mention that Dhalric's magically disguised? He's really a bald green guy with antennae and pointed ears! (Not really, but don't be surprised if his personality sometimes resembles Picollo's!) I'ma DBZ fan, too, but I'm a few weeks behind on the Cartoon Network episodes...last time I saw, Gohan was still fighting Cell)

Just thought up a name for the board...drum roll, please.....ladies and gentlemen...well, gentlemen (and Cascerot!),anyway...the new name of the board.....


Dragonbrawl B!


Eh, maybe not....

Allow me, GundamWolf.

Everyone, direct your attention to the new adventure board, NOVAQUEST, CHAPTER I. I have reposted all adventure posts from this board to the new one. Enjoy.

I liked Dragonbrawl B better!

First of all: If you've already read the new Novaquest (man, that name stinks) board, as Obsy chose to name it, you need the details on the two new gods:

1. Aphostorous: god of vengeance; priests avenge murders and other wrongs committed by criminals and by the wicked; they mainly handle violent crimes, not thievery unless the victim is injured or killed. Think Judge Dredd with divination, protection, and healing abilities, as well as being bad mamajamas with blunt weapons and crossbows.

2. Shalanra: Goddess of healing; `nuff said. Priests are trained in self-defense martial arts, and are allowed to wear chain mail and use shields. Can't use any weapons except lassos or bo staves; in other words, they absolutely stink at combat!

I'm posting this in green, instead of blue, so you'll be sure to read it:

Lets face it, Obsy chose to name the board Novaquest, and the name stinks! So...I want everyone to think up at least two ideas for what we should name it. Post your suggestions here, using the name of your character as the Username. don't post anything else in the entry, just your two suggestions. Monday we'll vote on the new name for the board. If no one comes up with a good one, I still think we should go with Dragonbrawl B! (Observer, you don't get to make any more suggestions, but you do get to vote if there's a tie)

And I'm going to keep calling him Obsy until the posts I asked him to remove are gone!

Dragonbrawl? You Humans are soooo violent.

Well, I chose the name because Nova is a derivative of the root form of the word "new". And "quest" for adventure...Novaquest. Sorry you don't like it. Does everyone else hate the name? Wanna change it, talk to KAM.

Plus, I can't remove the posts. I'm not the moderator. Talk to KAM again.

And No Blue text on Novaquest!!! That goes here. You know that, Gundam.

<half-kidding>Not one word of thanks, neither...grumble...grumble...slow connection...ten o clock at night...</half-kidding>

Novaquest sounds like a name for a sci-fi rpg, if you think about it....and I'd prefer a name without the word `quest' in it! Too obvious...


KAM, pull those posts, please! You know the ones I'm talkin' about!

Scott Ennius(From the Epic History)- Lord of the Dead. His preists are Necromancers and a depressing sort, though they do a lot of Philosphopy. They hold the power to raise the dead and shapeshift.

The Epic History in Mythlogy has several gods, mostly with cool names.

I think that one Character from Phantom Returns should be allowed to appear. Ze French Knight.

Ze French Knight shows, I'm bringing in the Knights Who Say `Ni'! Seriously, though....Ze French Knight can't show up, because in this world there is no France! (And dont't try bringing in a variation of him, either!)

OK, Wolf, just try to avoid posting in anger & then expecting me, or some other moderator, to happily clean up your embarrassing posts.

Although I did find it rather amusing that you called Observer Obsy.

Novaquest does sound sci-fi-ish, but Dragonbrawl B sounds like a humor board. If you don't want silly posters, you should consider a more serious name. (I can change the name of the Novaquest board when you think of one.)

And since there is now a board for posting do we need the blue text here?

How about Knightlore - either one word or two?

First of all, Knightlore sounds pretty good, but lets see what else we can come up with. (Note to Moderator: I was joking about Dragonbrawl B!)

Names
Ye olde Phantom Return

Band of the champions of the Realm (B.C.R.)

A funny thing happened on the way to the Taveran

The King of the Fellowship of the two rings return to the Towers.

Knights of Hazard

The Tacolerium

Fantasy that doesn't create witchcraft practicing Satanists.

"Sir Bowen entered a Taveran"(Titles in the ancient world were the first line of the work, Genesis means "In the Begining")

Actually, Cascerot... I mean Matt, Sir Bowen had been in the tavern for some time when it began.

SERIOUS TITLES ONLY, Matt!

I rather like "A funny thing happened on the way to the Taver(a)n." Of course, I also liked "Novaquest". Can I come out of my room, now?

The Book of Wolf?

Regarding that last suggestion....

I said we would vote on Monday. So far it looks like its either going to be `Dragonlore' or `A funny thing happened on the way to the Tavern'. We can do better than that, people!

How about `Hack and Slash with a little Pinache!'?

(Correct me if I spelled that last word wrong)

We need a few more suggestions....

How about `We came to kick a*s and chew bubblegum, but we all forgot the bubblegum'

I changed my mind; we'll vote tomorrow, unless anyone has any objections.

Knightlore, not Dragonlore.

L' Morte de ze French Knight

Sir Bowen: The Legendary Journeys

(You a fan of old radio shows, KAM?)

Yeah, radio station I grew up with used to air the old shows (as well as some new ones.)

There's a station here that used to play old radio shows at 10:00PM, but they quit for a while, and I haven't checked to see if they started again. I like old comedies and mystery shows; I've got several tapes of the Shadow, and I even have a tape with the pilot for Duffy's Tavern on it! (I dubbed it from a tape I borrowed)

Okay, my two guesses about Noman....feel free to laugh at me if I'm completly and utterly wrong! (I figure I'll eventually get the chance to do the same to you!).....

I think Noman is either Padawan\Loremaster or KAM!

I have no clue whatsoever about the others who haven't revealed themselves yet, but I hope KAM gets involved with a character if he hasn't already!

Ha ha ha hahahaha...

(well, you said feel free to laugh.;-)

I am not Noman, nor am I Nowoman, just in case one shows up.

I haven't posted on your fantasy board.

Basically I've had some problems when it comes to posting on the story boards & I don't it'd be right to subject more people to the old bad behavior.

I like the comedies (Jack Benny, The Bickersons, Bob & Ray, Stan Freeberg), detective (Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, The Avenger, The Fatman), science fiction (X Minus 1, Dimension X).

Maybe we need an old time radio appreciation board?

Ever hear of Chicken Man?

This is slightly off-topic, but may I ask, KAM, where and when you posted as Mr Bad Attitude? Or is that just a name you like to call yourself?

I was describing one of my negative traits with that term. Also since I hadn't revealed I was Obvious then, I could do it with a 3rd person reference.

While I haven't read that much of LICC since leaving, a number of those times seems to feature Gundam/Bladewolf complaining about something. So if he wants to start using the Mr. Bad Attitude name, I will step aside.

Wolf, LICC is a chaotic round robin style of story. The posters go with the elements that catch their fancy. The other posters will either like your storyline & go along with it or they won't.

I should know.

First post here in over a couple of weeks, huh? Well, it looks like the new name for NovaQuest (name sounds like a sci-fi story) is probably going to be `The Knights of Silvercliff'. Unless someone comes up with something better in the next few days....

Knights of Silvercliff sounds cool to me, and since its basically your storyline, you should be the one to name it I think....

Besides, its better than Adventures of the Argle Bargle Bagginses...

Oh yeah, allow me to introduce myself...

I'm playing the part of the stranger that just introduced himself in Argle Bargle. These are my first postings here, so you needn't worry about my identity...

Just wanna say HI! and thanks for starting the board and giving me something to do while I'm at work!

Hey, we need to come up with a color or something that designates Thieve's Cant, Noman. Either that or email each other what it is we want to say in Thieves Cant...

Whaddya think?

Methinks Caladron and Noman' s authors know each other! Forsooth! If you want to use a color for Thieve's Cant (which isn't in 3rd edition D&D anymore; its been replaced with a skill called Inuendo), use green!

BTW...welcome to the board, Caladron. Its going to get a name change soon; Novaquest sounds like a sci-fi adventure.

Oh...one more thing....I may be clueless right now, but Dhalric Blacksilver was a thief before he became a ranger! (He's my actual D&D (2nd edition) character, and I started him out as a thief; changed to ranger after he reached 3rd level) So, go ahead with your hand signals and Thieve's Cant...Dhalric understands every thing you're saying!

Ahhh yes, but I made the ever important distracting gesture...

How do you get that really cool smiley face, btw?

Thanks for the welcome, and actually, I have no idea who Noman is...

Hehe, never mind about the smiley face thing, I just noticed its automatic!

Caladron, take a look over to the left. Under Documentation, click on Formatting and read it! That should tell you all you know!

Btw, welcome to the Madhouse! We could always use more inmates! ;)

Noman is my original AD&D Bard (from Appendix of the original PH).

As I'm sure you'll find out, Caladron is a thief, just a plain, simple thief. I've been playing him in a regular campaing now for about 4 years...needless to say, he's not as awesome here as he is in the campaign, but...

Campaing should be campaign....

Hey guys,

I've got the next two days off of work, so I can't guarantee I'll be on 'til Sunday morning. I might get on from the house, but the wife likes for me to spend all of my time with her when I'm off... Anyway, if one of you wants to write Khardek's part and lead us somewhere that's cool!

Later!

You too?

Is Caladron... um... JAKE DOMINGUEZ?

I always thought Noman and Caladron had same author, but... and I'm pretty sure who Noman is but I won't say.

Blackadder reference. A girl named... Bob. ;-)>

Wait... Caladron goes to work - He's not JD, no idea who he could be, though.

I told you guys this was the first time I had posted here, here as in Nit Central, not just this board... I forgot how I found this place, but I did, so...

Oh. I thought you were just talking about Novaquest... I mean TKOS.

And BladeWolf - My real last name rhymes with beach.

Thanks, Pushy, Pushy...er..Loremaster. I thought that was how it was pronounced, but I wasn't sure. According to a conversation I had with JD in Mark Pesti's chatroom, he hasn't posted in NQ\TKOS yet, but is considering it.

The Staggering Monk character that I just introduced is going to be a recurring character; the heroes will run into him from time to time, and he may eventually offer to train one of them. If you notice I didn't give a description of what he looks like. This is because he's a master of disguise. Giving a description would be irrelevant! (He is oriental, however; that's all I will say)

I meant Matt, not Mark....I had Star Wars on the brain earlier, and was thinking of Mark Hamill. Sorry.

Duffy's Tavern? What's the reference to that, because there's a bar where I live by that very same name.

Ahem......Duffy's Tavern is a classic radio program....from the 1950's, I believe. I've actually got the pilot on tape (dubbed it from a copy I borrowed from the library). Uh...waitaminute....which post was Duffy's Tavern mentioned in?

If someone mentioned Duffy's Tavern in a post, the poster may have tipped their hand and told me who they are! I can't find the post, however.....

I thought K&C's Author was referring to a post here where I was suggesting different titles.

By KAM on Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 06:18 am:
The Brian Webber Show (Kind of like the old Duffy's Tavern radio show "Duffy's not here right now.")

Because Wolf & Webber don't seem to get along & I don't think he would post there.

Oh. I was hoping it was someone using an alias who mentioned it. I figured it would be you if they did....bummer.
