Bill the barbarian

Alright, them's fighting words!

Thanks Loz, great answer and I feel much better supporting TDM, and it’s great products. So, now that they are no longer sending me twits (not sic) one more question if I could. How do I avoid this invasion of my work email that is very important to me? Should it restart coincidentally (honestly, I did not stop visiting you because of Tapatalk, that was sheer coincidence ) when I start revisiting TDM? Thanks in advance, gents. Cheers!

Far too late padawan, my jedi mind trick worked. I have never said to use the spoileroos so loved by soltakss... ever. I said, "mention there are spoilers." But there ya go, proving yourself to be a good citizen full of... compassion (what did ya think I was going to say? ;). And oddly enough, I always read the spoilers anyway. Well, there was one time a spoiler almost ruined the surprise at the end of a movie (and this occurred here in BRP, so...). My spidey-senses tingled and I looked away before harm was done. I went back and looked at the spoiler (that was claimed to not be a spoiler) when I finished watching the film and thanked Arachne Solara for the warning I make the stink that I do for the sake of others. C’mon, playing a hero for close to 4 decades in gaming, of course I have an inflated sense of myself as a heroic figure and ask (yea verily, even demand ) compassion for the innocent

Nothing, other than the fact that I am an old crotchety barbarian!

I totally understand what you are saying and as an owner of all the varieties available I will respectfully disagree and say I truly love and prefer the original (despite fact that the binding has now fallen apart and the pages are now kept in a three ring binder). That being said, getting the original will probably cost 100s of dollars so do not listen to the old crotchety barbarian. No, listen to reason—and Thaz...

Sorry to hear it is affecting your games all, this is important and as an individual who not only makes his living through the arts/entertainment and believes in its importance to the human experience I truly believe gaming to have great importance to quality of life. I waited until now to respond so as to do so with a clear and mellow head. These conditions now being achieved it might be worth mentioning that my gaming is being affected by the fact that last week the government of the province I live in, and the government of Canada made my career redundant. In fairmess. they had to. But I go on many resources on the net to see pages of industry related info say one word and saying it clearly and repeatedly. “CANCELLED”. By banning any meeting of more than 250 people the COVID 19 crisis may be ameliorated so I am in favour, but after paying all my bills and rent this coming month, the wallet will be looking a little empty. After the usual slow winter I was looking forward to the usual spring pick up, but, I really can not imagine the union dispatcher calling me to say Jon Bon Jovi is playing a house concert in your neighbourhood and I see in your internet portal that you can take calls for Truck Loader, Audio Crew, Stage Hand and LX... are you available? In conclusion, yes my gaming will be affected, but hopefully I will be alive and that is something. Cheers

And what nunber is this?

Sorry for the brief side-track almenac... A quick question, what is tapatalk? Suddenly I started seeing all kinds of tweets from this (?) that I had not sought out nor know why I was getting them. Hell, I don’t follow sports or any of the other topics that were being twitted (not a misspelling). So naturally I marked them as spam and tossed them all and have not seen any since. Did I start receiving these twits (not a misspelling) because I visited The Design Mechanism? I hope not as I have a fair amount of Mythras product that I like and I will not put up with unsolicited content entering my email..

Let’s see (pulls out note pad and pencil, opens notepad to a blank page, distractedly licks pencil tip.... eyes Puckohue suspiciously and begins to scribble furiously, notices Puckohue staring at him...). “What... who me, nothing, nope, not doing nothing, nice day for a stroll, no? La la la la..."

Thank you for the articulation, This is what I was trying to say to @g33k in his thread that he mentions above, but i unfortunately failed my roll. I did not fumble, as he thanked me in that sad way one thanks a slightly addled relative, but a fail none the less.

No worries, I am sure. A simple rule of thumb, which had been pushed here in the past and might need another push is simply; be kind. The arguments here have a way of getting heated, but if one is kind (a quick glance in the direction of my favourite whipping boy, for this kind of thing, soltakss) will given an idea of how to achieve this, dare I say, illuminated state.

Somehow, one way or another, it always comes back to ducks!

Can not think of any specifics but yes, that does tweak my memory.

Having both, when I was playing RQ 3 I would use the StatBlocks from Griffin Island, (especially the sorcerers) but everything else from GM.

Truly a review equal to the topic, in fact, that might be the S KoH of reviews!

Gotcha, I do not mark a lot of dates in a year, but the only day I will not work is Nov. 11 and the only days I have to take a few minutes of silence and reflection without fail are Aug 6 and 9

Hey where did the lunars that were just here go? Somewhere ahead of that berserk looking Storm Bull, and moving fast!

Works for me. But don’t let the Storm Bull hear you say that, he might suspect you are illuminated.

You have no idea how many times I have said just that! Got the (Jar-Eel Assassin) tee shirt!

I do not pray but I am sure you will have plenty of support there. Be safe.

Jedi, jester, sage or fool... just colour me pleased as punch that the RuneQuest Core Rules Questions . is moving again!

Fine place to set a game in, cyber/sci-fi noir appeals to me. G33k, you sound to me like the kind that can wing it. Use Mithras as a starting place for the kinetic guns, give characters 30 percent (or multiple of this for more power) a year per year over 15 in skills based on M-space. Handwavium NPCs to have 25% in skills they are novice in, 50% in skills they are journey men in, 75% in skills they master and 90 and above for the special types. A search for “guns in the expanse?” yielded this page https://expanse.fandom.com/wiki/Hand_Weapons which looks at weapons and I am sure a search for anything else should be as useful. and then Roberta is your aunt! This is for a couple of games only, right? Holy crap, have not heard that name since the ‘80s!

Huh,, wha.... Is moose and squirrel talking again, bah! Please, to be quiet, moose and squirrel!

Obviously, we can ignore that last poster. Next! I feel smarter already!
