DoD OOC

[Jenara]

It's a real Shame, did you get any explanation for the second departure?

[NoTrammeling]

Well I don't know that Onlie is gone, I was just sort of guessing. Tyreal just sort of faded into the background.

Apologies for the lack of posts this weekend. I had a first and second date and so was quite distracted ^^ Weekends are when I do most of my socializing unfortunately, which usually means traveling and leaving that laptop behind.

Real life should always be more important than the games. We can wait.
I spent most of the weekend away from the computer, too, simply celebrating music with my husband, the same kind of music that brought us together 20 years ago.

Let me guess: Insane Clown Posse?

That would have been a fun thing to meet over.

Actually, we met when several choirs were brought together to do a concert with works from the Bach family. I do a lot of baroque music, I own a spinet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinet and do duets with a recorder player, just for fun.
Last Sunday, hubby and I went to a matinee where our daughter's school's chamber choir presented work they had done with a baroque orchestra in Stuttgart http://www.ilgustobarocco.de. We liked their music so well that we cancelled all other plans for the day and went to the "Messiah" concert that evening.
Between morning and evening, we also did a walk in the autumn sunshine and ate some delicious pasta alla salsiccia sicilana.

Curiosity satisfied?

So...you and your husband are not Juggalos then.

That's a relief.

[Breila]

No. the wiredest we do (as fans, we don't play any suitable instrument) is this: Guggenmusik, a kind of deliberately distorted big band music. You can get more pictures when entering the word into goolge and choose pictures, I can't give the direct link because it contains a reference to the computer OS used.
Ah yes, and my hubby walks barefoot wherever he's allowed to. Europena generally don't have a problem with that, but Americans do...

[NoTrammeling]

Breila, that's quite a time, eh? Looks like a lot of fun ^^ Do you have to make the costumes before or do they pass them out?

[Breila]

The costumes are made by the bands themselves (and their supporters), and they change every few years. Spectators are not required to wear any, though many wear at least "standard" carnival dress. My daughter designed a costume for herself when she was 6, and I made it for her. Her picture was shown in the newspaper then .
I have youtube links for you from the festival that takes place every year in my husband's hometown: 2011 and 2012, the first page says how cold it was during the day and the evening: freezing!

Interesting... are we waiting on someone to post?

[NoTrammeling]

Well I was going to wait, but thinking on it, seems we have our majority and there is the 3-day rule to consider.

[Nuke]

ok, here is my first roll. not that I am a metagamer, but this is just way too average.

stat roll (4d6.takeHighest(3)=11, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=10, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=11, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=10, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=10, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=9)

The intention is to roll a specialist mage.....so, roll two.

stat roll 2 (4d6.takeHighest(3)=14, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=10, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=11, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=12, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=12, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=10)

stat roll 3 (4d6.takeHighest(3)=12, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=13, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=13, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=11, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=12, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=11)

Well, I guess it ain't in the cards...unless I can do a 2-for-1 swap on roll 2?


it'll be a simple mage.

[NoTrammeling]

Errrf. You could always use a point-buy system if you really want a specialist mage. Would you be interested?

[Breila]

@ Nuke: ...especially in this group where a few characters have record-high score averages!
