When I was in HS I tended to draw the Freshmen girls. Not just when I was a Freshman, but throughout my entire stay. :/

Feh. At least you attracted women. I was never anything more than friend material in high school.

[/ QUOTE ]You know I didn't attract any girls in High School either. Well there was this one time at a haloween party but I was dressed as a guy and she was drunk...

All through High School I dated women... I had four girlfriends and one -extremely- serious relationship with a vastly older woman from Pennsylvania (Pushing 40 when I was pushing 20 >.&gt

Unfortunately her husband found out and there was this whole divorce agreement and stuff... >.>

It wasn't until I met Steven (First BF) that I ever thought about guys in a really sexual way... But after a 5 year long abusive relationship I bailed. Now I'm in Wisconsin with the man I plan to marry. =-3

I've got a long track record that's really nobody's business but my own, but suffice to say after maturing a lot (ie: post high-school) and calming down, I finally settled with my current SO.

We had our two-year anniversary earlier this year. For some odd reason, she still thinks I'm a nice person despite the overwhelming pile of evidence completely to the contrary.

That poor, naive girl.

Hah, I wish I had a milkshake (so to speak, nyoro~n). But, unforunately.. I got my father's side of the genetics in that regard.

The terms 'flapjack' and 'ironing board' have been used rather accurately in other people's descriptions of me. As have 'shrew', 'flat', and 'occasionally berserk'.

I dunno. D: I've got such a horrible schedule lately. And lack transportation.

You should allocate more points into CON.

Half of a leftover sub from yesterday. It didnt taste funny or anything

Ah well. Gives me time to do laundry. Just gotta ignore the cramps :P

You could try drinking a ginger ale/sprite and see what happens.

This.

I used to do this at work when I got sick-ish, and it usually worked wonders.

It continues to faskinate me, and most of my characters usually are either Eberron or FR in nature depending on what kind of character I'm working with. I did enjoy convincing my DM to use the setting as it really made a lot of the stuff we were doing easier. We originally decided to just go with a 'sky pirate' theme, but as we worked on it more it got a lot more complicated and fun.

...and weird. Because we're running the campaign entirely through the 'Rule of Cool' and whatever sounds like a good idea at the time. Like, technically, Eliza shouldn't be able to use her Dragonmark (being dead), but because he thought my original concept was so interesting, we're handwaving it just to keep her 'ship pilot'. Which we can probably make an interesting story later on.

Eberron wiki entry.

I forget where Dungeons & Dragons Online was set, but I think it used Eberron (specifically Xen'drik - the place where if you want it to happen, it can and will) as a base setting before branching out on it's own.

Shape of a lazy fox!

*sprawls on the FoC, casually.*

EDIT: What really amuses me about Eberron is how it's easy to take it seriously, and tell a very grim, dark, evil story... and then the next week just go completely over-the-top and do some REALLY crazy-hilarious stuff, and somehow still not break the setting insofar as rules.

Bit harder to do with stuff like Dragonlance, and Forgotten Realms, which have really deep, codified rules on various things. Eberron flat out tells you nothing's written in stone, and if you need to BS something into place that's kind of the point. >>

Eberron is a very fun gaslight setting for D&D.

Everything you can think of in a renaissance technology done through technology... is instead done by magic. Streets lit with Continual Flame lanterns. Giant airships kept aloft by lighter-then-air wood and powered by giant rings containing elementals. Trains dragged along by elemental power. Even 'steamships' powered by magical means.

There's even a new base class - the Artificer - that combines some of the aspects of Rogue, with a splash of the Arcane, and a good amount of steampunk tinkering to create magical items at an astounding rate.

There's even a bit of civility in regards to 'monsterdom', as the 'Monsters' have their own feudal nation set off aside from the 'Human and other enlightened peoples' lands that's fully recognized as a soverign nation, an entire continent devoted to exploration and jungle hijinx in the style of old-timey Deepest Darkest Africa that suggests an ancient Giant empire, and there's even robot-people (Warforged; Living constructs) walking around as remnants of the last great war (where a magical nuke went off and totally obliterated one nation from the map).

It's a fun setting, and really sets up gaslight pulp fiction very well, I think.

>_> I've already informed the fighter (Lance Kord, ACTION HERO!) that the second it becomes convenient to the plot, I may or may not push him over the side of the airship.

I've also decided that his name makes about as much sense as David Ryder from Space Mutiny, and will probably take it upon myself to reference him as anything *but* the name he actually wrote down. I'll probably just stick with 'Thick McRunfast' or 'Punch Rockgroin' for laughs, though..

Heh. My current group includes 4 newbies, and one veteran (me) plus the DM (who's DMed before, but only for other genres and really appreciates me helping out as much for the D&D game as I am).

So, nobody's all that familiar with the setting (and we're using it in a way that makes it a bit less important to know anything: A bunch of rookie adventurers sailing the skies and doing jobs 'cuz that's what the captain sez we does!), and the only person that is (me - the DM is starting to love Eberron as well, because of how crazy it is compared to standard stuff) has been making it a point to downplay some stuff as much as possible.

Eliza, for example, only has a loose affiliation with the actual plot of the game. She's a House Lyrandar member by technicality only, because they sort of frown on her conversion to Undeath. Served in Karrnath as a scout/pilot for a few years, and it's only because she had a favorable reputation before hand that they haven't paid anyone to remove her. So, the Captain of our illustrious airship got her services at a discount. Considering the rest of his crew is a bit motely, he's not terribly upset. And it cuts down on food costs. :3

Everyone else is just new hires to replace the last adventuring crew that the captain had, that while successful in the obtaining of the MacGuffin, didn't make it too far beyond that. Our only job at the moment is to take the MacGuffin to That Place Over There, which may lead to a 'plot of the week' style of side-trips for fun and profit. Which works for me.

It's all good. :3 No harm, no foul.

I'm a lot less of a meanie then I come off as on occasion. >> And most of the times I am being a meanie, I'm just pretending to be mean.

EDIT: For some reason, I'm just really good at going off on empassioned rants and speeches, despite the fact that more often then not I really don't care deeply one way or another on an argument.

Well, in that instance, I'd still prefer the water spout over the spirit shark. I'd rather take something I may or may not use every now and then, as opposed to something I'd almost guarantee I'd never use. >.> Water Spout at least has some humor value in it, in addition to being a bit of a damage freak of a power (if you can set it up right - it's a lot like Tornado; Great distraction, but if you can lock stuff down it'll obliterate it).

To each their own, though. I fully agree with your assessment about the Leviathan pool as it is now.

But ah'm a fox!

I have a lot of stuff for supplemental piratey things, actually. There's a lot of stuff in the Explorer's Handbook and 'Race of the Seven Winds' adventure for conducting airship shenanigans, then there's Stormwrack for the general sort of pirate and a few bits of Complete Adventurer and Complete Warrior that contain things of interest.

I wasn't really all that enthralled with Kingdoms of Kalamar, honestly, but I should probably give it another look instead of just automagically dismissing it. Hmm.. I think there were a few things we borrowed from Heroes of Battle (specifically armaments for the ship - Freakin' LIGHTNING BALLISTAE!), and one or two things for Eliza came out of Forgotten Realms and Dragonmarked (I have a lot of special equipment that makes perfect sense on a pirate vessel - 3 belts [bandoleer, potion belt, scroll organizer] for keeping important things at hand, and some other proper pirate adventuring tools [rope, grapple, signal mirror, fire-starting kit] as well). >.>

My DM gave me props (and a few buys on certain things) for planning out my character so well, and actually taking an assortment of goods that not only made sense, but would actually be useful.

May t'candles on yer cake, burn like cities in yer wake.

Arrr. Felicitous annual hatching day, ye salty sea dog.

I consulted my Warhammer 40k dice collection this month, after whittling it down to just 6 entries.

30d6s went in. It took a while, and because I was trying not to be loud, it wasn't near as deafening as it usually is when I bust out these dice for an epic barrage of pulse-rifle fire, and yet it still had that same feel. And even with 30 dice on the table, there still ended up being a tie that had to be settled by my lucky aqua die for a Hand of Fate roll.

And fate chose ImagesbyAlex, in a very close contest and by one die roll.

For the record, it was hard as hell to narrow it down to just six, too. If next month is just as interesting as this month ended up, I may develop ulcers!

Darnit. This month is terrible!

...for making my normally wishy-washy self have so many good pieces to choose from.

Everyone gets huge props from me in advance, and a footnote that I think everyone should win this month. So don't take offense when I have to choose just one of you. It'll be hard to narrow it down even a little! D:

*Yaawns, and sprawls on the FoC. Balances a pizza box on her tummy and noms delicious pineapple-bacon-and-cheese calzone.*

I feel like an otter. Teehee.

But, had a mostly interesting day yesterday. Was coordinating with my local D&D group for stuff, and was so happy with them. We automagically defaulted to all of the standard roles (Arcane, Divine, Tank, Skill) with the 'core' group, and the outlier guy is playing a 'Utility' character. And the poster for this crew is going to read like a bad fantasy movie parody.

Eliza Brand, undead half-elven pirate navigator.
Lance Kord, human 'ACTION HERO'. Er, Fighter.
Alahna, catgirl (er, Shifter) druid
Schwick (Just Schwick. Not Bushschwick, just call me schwick), gnome wizard
<And a bard to be named later>

The 'boarding/adventuring' crew aboard an Eberron-style airship, with our fearless captain (Rusty Shackleberd), his faithfal bodyguard (Grock Hambone, half-ogre), Beatbox the Hibachi Cook (Warforged Bard), and a 'doctor' to be determined later. Plus the rest of the scruffy crew that's not important enough to get names or stats beyond 'pirate'.

...You can tell we're not being serious about this at all.

Moo's mostly got a good point:

We're unlikely to see Dark Miasma for Controllers without a huge revision, as it's almost a Control set in and of itself already (that said, we may see a lot of it rehashed into a Dark Control set with Miasma being fixed up into something similar to it's current form but with a lot of things replaced; Psi-Blast for Blasters comes to mind there). The pet is somewhat of a non-issue, compared to the bigger problems with the set.

Illusion is probably better suited for a Mastermind, and may hit there first; All they need is a Tier 2 pet (Spectral Terror would be more a 'special' pet like Extraction and Gang War) and to change up Blind/Flash into straight damage powers while changing out both Invisibilities to Upgrades and giving the current pets a few more powers... and it's done.

Fire Blast for Defenders is in-general a bad call; It works for Corrupters because they're built around the concept of damage at least partially, but it doesn't work out so hot for Defenders who tend to lean more on extra mitigation in all of their secondaries (with the sole exception being Archery, which still has more potential mitigiation then Fire Blast does [Stunning Shot]). It may happen, but it's the least likely choice at this point. Assault Rifle has better chances of coming over first.

Ice Melee/Armor actually has better chances of coming over, because Dark also siginficiantly reduced the amount of incoming damage and didn't really slaughter Fury generation in and of itself. Maybe there's something more in there that we're not looking at, but with a few minor changes it may be better then it was originally thought, though still not a 'perfect' set.

SR/Broadsword/Katana for Tankers: It might still happen. But it may take a bit longer for them to actually work with things. Really, they could remove Parry/DA and still not really screw up the sets too much (though perhaps destroying the thing that gave them such unique flavor). Or they might leave it in and call it 'working as intended' while reducing the benefit a bit to keep it from being completely overpowered.

Who knows what the future holds?

I'm apparently unphotogenic. Every time a 'group picture' situation comes up, I'm never present. And people almost never think to snap photos of me when they have the chance, or I'm just conveniently out of shot when it goes off.

My SO swears I'm a vampire, and uses my predominately night-time schedule on some weeks as justification (and the fact I don't tend to leave the house unless I'm working).

My hair's an enigma, but apparently a source of faskination for every hair dresser I go to. Almost universally, they tell me how soft, pretty, and thick it all is (even the few times I went 'punk' and had it short and spiky). It tends to lean towards being straight, but the longer it gets, the more the little waves start coming out until when it gets about shoulder-length, it curls up at the ends like Miss. Brady's hair used to. >>

It's a genetic combination of win for me - my dad's mother had *beautifully* lightly curled hair, but it was a little on the thin side. On my mother's side, everyone has ridiculously thick, soft hair. Best of both worlds, really.

Same with the rest of my looks. I have predominately Asian features (gogo Pacific Islands natives), but a just barely 3 shades above pale Germanic skin tone. I tan awesome, though. Two hours in the sun I look fresh off the Islands, and not a single burn at all.

I'ma freak. :3

Okay, so the spirit sharks are out, but how does this necessarily discredit the Water Spout? >.> It's a giant column of spinny water!

So, in order to provide better evil seduction services, how would you rate my tempting, Powerforge? :3

>.> Bear in mind that at Diff 2, the rest of the spawns will spawn at sliiightly larger groups. Which may make clearing around her difficult.
