Hello, greetings and salutations, etc. etc. henceforth without fail hi!

Hello everyone!

I have just finish my semester from hell so I can finally engage in the community again, yay me ^_^

Hopefully next semester wont eat me like this one did

How's everybody been?

I've been tired lately, sleeping alot. Been working out at the gym real hard and finishing up the Haggle System for TFN, as well as the new weapons, items, etc... I've fixed 2 issues with VV's quests and reworked a few things, oh ya and I fixed the failure thing with Bertram's Cathayan computer quest.

How you been?

I've been working my ass off in my manga bookstore, it's quite hard because it's a new business so right now, kind of hard to get used to being the boss XD
It snowed a little in Bordeaux, and I hate the cold !

I'm beginning a Shadowrun campaign
Then, that's all

What's new ?

hey you two!

Zero; sleeping in December is perfectly allowed, it's simply your body trying to hibernate like we should! As for TFN; I'm always glad to hear it is progressing, now that I am finally back from semester I can get going on playing it, I've only been waiting since I was giving a beta invite, so excited! ^_^

Claudia; being the boss can be hard I've run a few solo enterprises myself, thankfully I only had one or two underlings so it wasn't that taxing but fledgling businesses often require so much time and attention, good luck! Also I am just starting a Urban Arcana campaign funnily enough; character creation session is tonight I have no idea what to play

Other than that I am mostly just adjusting to having free time which is so bizarre but I'll get used to it soon enough

Well it's great having you back Blacktrench! You guys are making me miss roleplaying AD&D now, lol.

AD&D? Holy shit you're old

It's not that old! Prefer 3.5 myself though.

If I'm old enough to have played the original '3 booklets' version of D&D, that doesn't make me old, does it?

Wait a minute... I guess it does. Damnit!

HAHA hell ya man, I grew up playing AD&D 2nd edition, you know the one with the Players Handbook cover of the guy riding the horse. It was the last version that didn't use skills and stuff, it still used the Thac0 system, not Attack values.

I've grown some white hair just from reading that

Also, zero, i never seen the cover of AD&D PLayers handbook. and wtf is Thac0?

I myself play 3D&T. It's a brazilian game, extremely fun and easy to learn. D&D is all like "Roll two dices to see if you can attack, then roll another dice for the attack and then roll another for the damage" and i'm like "wtf is this O.o"

On a unrelated note, i got a big test tomorrow (which i will have a great grade on it, mark my words ) and after it i'm completly free till next year so i'll work on those lip files like a rabid dog.

To Hit Armour Class 0

So if your THAC0 is 15 for example:
If you're fighting a monster with 0AC you need to roll 15
If you're fighting a monster with -3AC you need to roll 18
if you're fighting a monster with 3AC you need to roll 12

Later editions moved to having BAB instead of THAC0 which was a positive modifier instead of a fixed number. So you rolled the die added your BAB and other modifiers and had to roll higher than the monsters AC instead of the AC modifying your attack roll

Well, at least it doesn't make you older than me. Let's hope we are elves. Else we might die any minute now

That's absolutely right, I'm surprised you knew that... I'm impressed.

Why? my memory on most rules is rusty on 2e and AD&D but I still play the Infinite Engine games so what's in that is still fresh enough. First played AD&D when I was eleven but it turned into an excuse for the guys to argue and play on gameboys

Was in a 5 year 3.5 campaign from the age of thirteen and from 18 until 21 and a half had a minimum of three games per session spread between D&D 3.5 and OWoD

Started playing D&D in 1977, when I was 16. That was my first gaming experience. We switched to AD&D as the new books came out, in the late 70's.

Not sure I quite grasped the concept at first. I named my first character "Jim". When this drew laughter, I said it was short for "Jimon". But really "Jim" was just the first name that popped into my head. When I rolled a natural '18' for his strength, that shut them up.

God that was a long time ago.

I had a lucky spell once rolling stats for an Aasimar Paladin,
rolled:
6,6,6,6 - 18
6,6,6,5 - 18
6,6,6,4 - 18
6,6,5,5 - 17
6,6,5,4 - 17
6,6,3,3 - 15

I wasn't allowed to keep her

As the DM, I would've said no too, lol.

I love how my greet back as become a pnp rpg nostalgia session ^_^

By all means have fun with that

I rolled something similar once but I was allowed to keep him, Goblin Druid, I had three 17s, two 18s and one 5; which ended up being my Int score very fun character to play

You're older than my parents :-)
(born in 64 and 66)

There, that was free mean-ness

Well I was born in 88

You are younger than me! 1984. But I'm not Orwellian...
Aww, I feel old...

I think Claudia was talking to me.

Born in 1961. (Gee, where have I seen that number? Oh yeah, in my forum ID.)

Yeah, I may be old, but I'll have you know I... um... What was I saying? Hmm. Why was I on here again?

1993 suckas!

@ PGM:
Not funny, man. I sometimes catch myself wondering what on earth I was going to do. Wasn't like that at all, say 10 years ago. Maybe because I didn't know what I was doing anyway Ah, be young again.

@Philosopher: What are you doing in the company of us geezers, young one?

'89 here.
