There are two (I think) in the AP package that you get for donating to the Lemurian Kickstarter, so I can safely say that if you wait long enough the CoC games will be posted XD.

Did you see that they are coming out with an X-men anime called "Wolverine"? Figured you probably already know, but it's scheduled for the winter season. I hear that there were a total of 4 seasons of Marvel anime planned to be published.

What's your take on them, as of now?

It's a meme.

Sigh, I suppose I should have elaborated. Where did that specific version pop up at? Was it on the chans, or was it an adaptation elsewhere?

Just fyi, I love that single line of text.

3. I remain flexible as a GM and player but I will not adapt to fit dysfunctional gamers.

The Black Company, a series of books written by Glenn Cook. This is about a group of mercenaries who go around fighting on either side of the alignment (for both good and evil). The series is written as if from the point of view of their Annalist, or history writer (for the most part). In the first group of books, this is from Crooker's viewpoint, though later on the style changes with a change of the person who is doing the job.

I think it's a pretty cool book; a bit gritty, and fantasy based.




The series written in the land of Dragaera is pretty interesting, and starts with the book Pheonix Guards, which is written in the style of the Three Musketeers. It's got its own share of intrigue and action, and focuses on the lives of long lived beings that Humans call Elves (though they call themselves Humans, and they call Humans 'Easterners'). 500 years after and Viscount of Adrilankha would be the next in the series, which is then followed by a group of books going from the point of view of an Easterner Assassin named Vlad Taltos (pronounced Taltosh).

Curious, have the others had similar goals, and have they been reached?

-Lol, nevermind. Did a bit of research and found that a similar goal has been met before. Donating.

The most recent new player I had was a I guy that I knew wasn't going to fuck up the game for everyone and wasn't going to be showing up more than just this once. OH AND I didn't know he was coming until a buddy brought him to my house. , but anyhow, everyone had well established characters and had hired the new player as a Driver. They were investigating werewolves in England but the Driver just stood by the car smoking cigarettes, for two hours (of real time), while everyone else got townspeople angry and killed things.

I could have had some NPCs go talk to the driver, or have the werewolf attack the driver however, It wasn't the full moon, and these townspeople we're getting bullied by the other players.  I wish i would've just attacked him, just like some red herring wild dogs or something. He would've had a better time, but i guess some people are just at the table sometimes to "smoke cigarettes" and hang out with people while they play a game.

I can imagine it now; all hell breaking loose in town as the driver just stands there nonchalantly, smoking his cigs and watching as shit burns down around him. The players get back and say 'Quick, we need to get out!' in a worried voice, nothing in their voice to belay their haste to the Driver.

"Alright." The driver drawls, lazily opening the door, opposed to the other players who jerk open their doors and jump in head first. The driver sits, and calmly shifts gears. The car screeches as the driver's foot puts the pedal to the metal and they drive off.

The stark contrast is delicious.

Kirby, the barbarian fighter. He is rather intelligent for an Orc (14 in the score). He is the leader of a band of mercenaries called 'Kirby's Mercenaries.'

Background:

His beginnings were humble, where he started off as just another guy in a group of adventurers. But when he caught the Many Face criminal in the city of Nevilice, his fame began to grow. Time passed and he gained a stronghold (read: house) as well as several others to join him (Read: Mercenary group/Leadership).

He then moved to other parts of the realm, where his name was not so-well known. He reached another town. Citadel, it was called. And the land was under siege by hordes of slaves controlled by Illithids. It seemed they had, for some unknown reason, wished to invade the above-world enmasse.

Kirby offered his services to the lord there, Arir, and was surprised to be named standing general of their forces (a total of 600 men). Using his staff to the best of his advantage, Kirby enjoyed minor to moderate losses in the battles that ensued. Though, he had to admit, it was only with the help of five other adventurers that he was in such a good position.

His contract up, Kirby continued his search for fame and power, earning respect through battle...


Personality: Not much of a sense of humor, and when it does show it is always a dry sense of humor. He's a serious individual who despises the stereotype that all Orcs are dumb (he spent 2 points in his first level as Barbarian to read). He knows he can't do everything by himself, and relies on his officers to get some things finished for him.

Looks: Kirby is about 6'4", weighing in at about 280 pounds (5% body fat). He favors a clean-shaven head and a large axe as his weapon. While simply walking around, he wears chainmail armor beneath his clothing. Otherwise, at war, he wears platemail without a helmet.
