Alright then, Lisa Lisa Lisa!

She's lovely, but she's in a very stable relationship and she has a child. I'm not a homewrecker.

The next meet has yet to be confirmed so I'm on hold until further notice.

Yeah, I've got to get more work before then. It's not like I can lean on Luis again and say "let me have one of the spare beds this time!"

And seeing as it's London, don't expect me to help out anyone if I'm at my sister's small flat.

I wouldn't expect you to.

And yet there's so much I can say about them.

But that's just monologue. Dialogue requires two participants.

Are you willing to take part in that? If not, I'll be asking Gagsy for assistance. I'm sure she won't say no.

I'm confused.

MOOOOOOORRREEEE! *dramatic music sets in*

I've never thought that the Futurama credits were that dramatic... Ever watched them at 1.5 speed? I saw them the other day on my PS3 and just thought it was hilarious.

No, TDE is just a shitty system. Seriously, three rolls and a lot of calculating just to see if you are sucessful or not?

Ok, that sounds worse than some of the systems that I've played... I once had combat with no rolls and that was fun, just deciding what happens on a whim, as DM.

Sounds interesting.

I remember one session, where we tried GURPS for the very first time. After two hours, we where done setting up the characters. After two minutes, the game was finished, with all but two characters being dead.

That sounds like poor DMing, or very poor decisions from the players. It's session 1, so dream sequence it, get them together and start over, perhaps with a degree of paranoia...

At least you have the time to make some witty or cool remarks before going down. Or maybe something funny. Like "Oh come on, what on earth could possibly happen? We are just going to have a piss!" or "It's just the town watch! How tough can they be?"

The sea monster was an illusion. It turns out that the pirate's arch-nemesis is on board the most feared pirate vessel in the known world - the Crimson Roger. They boarded and lived to tell the tale, as well. I stayed wet enough, during the storm, but still lashed to the helm.

Illusions are lame. At least, when I'm not the one creating them. Once in Vampire: The Masquerade, me and a friend both played as a Ravnos. They can create illusions and often are gamblers or gypsies... I cannot understand why the rest of the group didn't like us. After all, we saved their asses more than once!

There are worse clans than the Ravnos - Tzimictze (sp?) for example. One of them sealed up a ghouls' sphincter, using visicitude and the idea of "tearing him a new arsehole" suddenly became rather appealing.

Poor DMing? No. Poor decisions from the players? Maybe... I remember the following: Huge battle was going on. Player 1 survived it and was wandering over the battle field. Players 2 and 3 come along. They think: "Hey, let's loot the corpses!"
Player 1 says: "Don't touch my fallen comrades!". Player 2 tries to beat up Player 1, who in the process kills both (2 and 3). Player 4 was watching this from a distance, and decided to shoot player 1. My character was watching from a distance as well. I tried shooting Player 4, but missed. After that, I escaped (I was playing a cowardly race, so I just acted as the typical guy from that race would). Game over.

We didn't bother with a second round, because it was very late already. But it was a funny game anyway. ^^

Oh, we've had similar. Rogue has been pissing off the Paladin all day, during a dungeon crawl, as he failed his sleight of hand roll, so he let the Paladin see him stealing various objects of great worth. When the rogue tries to open a locked door, he sets off a pit trap and falls in. The Paladin is the only one with a rope. He will only help the rogue, if he apologies to him for stealing. Rogue refuses; Paladin says that this is a slight against his god. The Rogue responds with "your god's a wanker!" comments. The pit closes.

The party rigs up a way of opening the trap again, but the argument continues, until the trap shuts once more. DM getting frustrated by this point, when they open the trap for the third time, the ceiling opens, to dump a load of refuse on the rogue. The party lets him drown in it.

Oh, but now you're just bandying terms around. Like in Fantasia, when the narrator says "would the soundtrack kindly produce a sound?" and it produces a random sound that lasts less than a second. Still a sound, but not what we were after.

The party rigs up a way of opening the trap again, but the argument continues, until the trap shuts once more. DM getting frustrated by this point, when they open the trap for the third time, the ceiling opens, to dump a load of refuse on the rogue. The party lets him drown in it.

Nice story. But the DM should never get frustrated. Nothing better than a party that nearly kills themselves due to stupid arguments. Less work for the DM. ^^

Oh, I've learned from these issues and gone on to run my own games. I think I'm doing marginally better.

Do ghouls still have to go to the bathroom? I mean, they aren't exactly alive...

They're still human. Just blood bound mortals, with a little Potence and possibly Fortitude added.

Oh, right. Maybe I was thinking of some other Ghouls from some other universe.

Ghouls in D&D are dead - they eat rotting flesh and can paralyse just by touch.

On a not totally unrelated side note: I once again stumbled upon "Straight Talk on D&D": http://www.chick.com/articles/dnd.asp
Make sure to also read the follow up "Should a Christian play D&D?".

I'll check it in a bit - a little busy today.

Maybe it wasn't the clan itself that the others didn't like. Maybe it was because we where gambling all along. With card tricks, shell games, and so on. Best of all: The Gamemaster didn't like us as well (yeah, maybe our characters where a bit annoying... ^^). At one time he said: "Why on earth are the two fucking Ravnos still alive?". Good times...

I could have played that into an NPC encounter. "And yet the two members of house Ravnos still live? One day, their luck will run out, I am sure."

There where no NPCs around. We where in the middle of an ocean and our helicopter just crashed. Because the pilot turned into a vampire as well...

Oh... that's not fun.

Unless it turns out they're in the middle of moving out and staying at their place is simply not an option this time around. They do need to find a better flat and I think they can manage that soon but it's a matter of when.

Yeah, I think most people in our age demographic need to find better accommodation.

I'll only need money for transport (60) food (10) and booze.... Uh, I dunno how much that will be. I'd say around 100 for the whole weekend is actually not bad. Then again, I could consider day 0 better this time and I won't bother with the aftermath after last time.

I've not got a clue how much I need, but it's car time and that puts a lot higher a demand on my resources.

I honestly wonder how long I'll remain without a car. In this modern age, it seems better off not using a car.

Hello Newgrounders, I have reached level 41 which looks to be one of the better icons on here.

It's not quite that black and white. It will come, you've got to be positive.

To a certain extent, I agree. I think that it's too expensive to go and hire a car, just when you need one at the moment. Sad, but true.

In answer to your query, yes, they are banned, on the wider world, but this keeps it all in one place, thus not annoying the layman of Newgrounds.

18,000 exp! Noice.

I reached the top 50 of the top medal point users list in under six months (4/12/12 - 9/30/12) and fewer than 250 games (picky -- I played 248 different flashies). Could this level up lounge be for milestones under specific conditions as well, or do they not matter? Anyhow, my 86,905 points brought me to #49 on that list of top medal scorers.

I'm not. It doesn't matter if it's only three notes or less. It sounds dramatic, it is music. So, it's "dramatic music". The Halloween theme (the main part of it) has only three notes as well: C, F and C#.

Oh, I've learned from these issues and gone on to run my own games. I think I'm doing marginally better.

It also depends a lot on the players. In my old group, we more often than not got ourselves into trouble because of stupid actions from the players... ok, it didn't really help that one of the characters had a really low intelligence (he was a fighter, so... ^^). So the player only played his character. And he did it very well.

I'll be able to book the train tickets within two weeks seeing as by then it will be 13 weeks in advance. Best train ticket prices then and this time I can easily settle with day 0 of the meet but no screwing around for the aftermath.

I don't know if it exploded or not. But in a group of 7 (I think) only 1 Ravnos survived (the others where "unconsius", ie they didn't have any blood left), and he had enough blood points left to bring one member of the group back to unlife. So of course he chose the other Ravnos, hehe.
