Off Duty #4 (OOC)

Isn't friendly fire the reason mages travel with clerics? Remember, nothing clears a room like 8d6 of incendiary fun!

Sounds like your kids are having a blast playing D&D, and have some creative ideas! That's awesome that they are getting the opportunity to learn and enjoy the game at a young age.

Ol Smokey the Dire Bear saying, only you can not feed the Goblins

[Urson]

I'm always glad to hear about someone who encourages 'outside the box' thinking. I've dealt with a few GM's who didn't- mostly at cons- and they are the most frustrating MF's I've ever met.

[Bluehorse]

Just a heads up that the earliest I will be able to post a reply to this will be Monday. There is a lot going on in the next update! Feel free to rp til then and Happy Easter/Ostara!

[Rex]

Happy Easter Everyone!

Make it a Bugbear or Owlbear. I was going to type a suggested speech here but nothing made sense for preventing goblin pets. Maybe have a mystic man like from Gremlins remember don't feed goblins after midnight, and whatever you do don't get them wet.

Smokey the Owlbear!!! I love it!!!

And they would definitely get the Gremlins reference. I am working that into the next story

[GreyWolfVT]

I feel like goblin henchmen would be like Gru and his minions. Lol.

[Rex]

This is killing me. You will have to let us know how it goes.

Oh my, if you knew Brandon (the 7 year old) you would understand just how accurate that really is!!!

[GreyWolfVT]

please tell me the goblin pet speaks like a minion

[Bluehorse]

He does!!!

[GreyWolfVT]

Oh man I wish I was in on this game.

[Bluehorse]

Basically I am playing a standard dungeon hack based very loosely on the Tomb of Horrors with the Lich and all that included. But I am really simplifying it for them and keeping things pg for the most part. Just a nice introductory but I am impressed that they have stuck with it for close to a year now on and off and are still enjoying it.

[GreyWolfVT]

That is rather impressive. If only I could get my family to do that. Only one interested is my son almost 11, but I have a feeling if I don't make it "like a video game" he will lose interest rather fast.

[Bluehorse]

I just started them off asking what kind of person they would want to be if they were making a story staring themselves and we took it from there. We rolled stats and we discussed how to arrange them to best suite their person. The I had them select a Lego Mini fig to be their guy, which they thought was cool. Then I dropped them in with no warning fighting a serpant at the entrance to the dungeon to dod the "tutorial" for combat. After that, they were hooked.

[Bluehorse]

Somewhat off topic, but does anyone know the bbcode and how to place it so that I can adjust the size of attachments on here? Some of these images are huge and fuzzy and it drives me crazy. I saw where there was some success with [fimg] in one topic under help and support, but it only works for URLs which I hate since images tend to disappear, and attachments are more permanent. Anyone have information?

[Urson]

Not to be 'that guy'- but have you asked the admins for help?

[Bluehorse]

Well I was about to post my question about a work around and like the derpy guy I am, I realized there is a work around after all. So I am giving yall the link here in case you want to look into it for yourself. This will take some doing, but I think I can do a little here and a little there to clean up some of the files for us. Some notorious pictures that I just hate are so big are the ones for Thomas Ten-Chiefs and most Recent the Green Haired Witch.

Plus I just want to try to make things a *little* more organized and uniform.

[Bluehorse]

And it works like a charm Go check out the NPC page or here to see the difference it made.
