Same for me, indeed.

OOC: sorry, i didn't get the description where there was a cloak?, just read kain got the ring of keys but could not disrobe the hyperborean? I was confused too. Looks like Belloc got there first to search for objects of 'regalia' which could include other stuff like the keys. He then got interrupt...

Happy Birthday!! 🎂 Greedy Elbart got a big gob of icing... probably in the shape of a recently deceased PC :( And thanks for the trinket! 3rd Birthday cake +[1d4]=4 temp hp Btw is there a time limit/duration for the temp hit points?

Magda & Skavi During the entire time Belloc defeats the shadow and then puts on the ancient regalia, Magda watches him carefully, a tiny bemused smile on her lips, until the magician speaks. "It's not over... We've barely scratched the surface of its power." "Of whose power, Bell...

Elbart 17 July, morning Challenging check [4d6]=13 vs. 12 Cha Negotiation being not among his strengths, and not completely at home in a house of worship, Elbart opts for the simple tactic of starting out with what he reckons is a high (but not outrageous) bid, then backing it up with a sprinkling ...

Elbart With a 50% markup (4gp, 10sp), the artificers can cut an Ash wood shaft and strengthen the grip points and head fixture with leather wrapping.

Shooting through food, now that's some high tech Traveller stuff

Magda "Ai, there is a secret passage behind the bookcase! Skavi found it," Magda hisses to those nearby. Then she simply watches raptly, as the battle unfolds between the shadow and Belloc (or rather his staff). He then sees the sling bullet land, giving him hope that mundane weapons may ...

Gabe hears his cue. "Sure ting. Ted can cover my next monitor shift, if we get back late," he smiles.

He straps on his silenced pistol in a shoulder holster, under his H&C jacket, and pockets his multitool before joining Ty on the sociable errands.

During this time he also makes an initial visit to the Axe and Anvil [separate thread]. Early evening finds th...

Hi, sorry for being late to the punch, I neglected to set this topic for notifications. Great news ToniXX that you've gotten round to this project. In a typical SW roll, either all dice explode or none explode. But there is as much a need to roll different types of exploding dice together, eg. !d8+!...

Magda and Skavi Magda stands by the desk and waits to see what happens. Her only silver weapons are now in the hands of Sik, who can use them more skillfully than she can. If Cyril's turning attempt fails, Magda will then speak to the shadow in the same dialect that Belloc used earlier: "Surre...

Ditto!

Magda From her position by the corner desk the witch speaks softly: "Those of you that serve particular gods, do they not give you some power to dismiss unquiet shades of the dead? And if that's the case," she adds, mostly to Akhilleus, "we should probably allow this one a clear path...

I take 'crunchy' to describe (whether for good or bad) various rules-heavy game systems like Rolemaster and WFRPG. In the context of AD&D 1e it tends to refer to the more disjointed and unpopular rules, e.g. btb initiative, weapon v. AC, helmet rule, training costs, d100 unarmed combat, and mora...
