1)  Partial group loss, 2 NPCs lost and one poor PC lost by a crit spear through his chest.,, Damn dice...

2)  5 bottles wine and one bottle homebrewed mead.  Pio cesare Barolo and a marquis de casera shiraz 03 were the front runners.
Also, homemade habenaro chili and homemade trufflebrownies.

3) group did hold their position long enough to break the siege, so I awarded extra exp.  Also, they used this in town (a few PC's did, at least) to increase their social reach.

Hey, mate. As for #2, I'm still waiting for that picture of the cadavers left after the battle is over.

Reading: Lots of comics and stuff for school. Maybe 4e Underdark tonight.
Running: BASH. The Coldest War.
Playing: Zip. Which is okay, really. I'm maxed out time wise.
Planning:Areal, a megadungeon/ abandon floating city kind of thing for The Metal Earth. Also thinking about what I have left to do to make a supplement out of my setting. Right now I'm thinking XP tables; spell lists; gear and treasure (often the same in my setting); vehicles and mounts. Also, I have some ideas about space travel and what lies beneath the sea...

Gotta update my planning section. Buddy told me that he and I are on tap for some giant multi-day nerd extravaganza leading up to New Year's as the two resident DMs. We're gonna be running 4 hr con-style games in rotating blocks. He's gonna run Grace Under Pressure, I'm gonna run a homebrew old-school dungeon using S&W or another retro-clone.

Reading: Nothing right now. My pain meds make any attempt at serious reading VERY difficult. Sucks.
Running: Savage Worlds Bioshock home-brew. The full .pdf should be online in a month or so. *crosses fingers* Also: pray I don't get sued.
Playing: Meh. I'm always the friggin' GM, though KenHR called me about some nWoD game or some-such.
Planning: Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing; Savage Worlds: Realms of Cthulhu

Quote from: winkingbishop;408004But to me it feels sort of like those vegan bacon substitutes.  Just eat the fucking bacon.

B...b...but we don't eat meat. And the Morningstar bacon is yummy.

*hangs head in shame*

Reading: S&W Whitebox. I avoided this for a while but now appreciate the system not as some slavish recreation of How Things Were Done but as a cool, bare bones FRPG that I can make my own. I'm also brushing up on The Outpost at the Edge of the Far Reaches and B10: Night's Dark Terror for planning purposes.

Running: Dragon Warriors. English Knights. Norse Barbarians. Italian Warlocks. Tonsured Monks. Wolf's Heads. Fucked-up, co-dependent Witches. Winter Fae. We're having a blast.

Playing: Trail of Cthulhu. Only one session in so far but I'm enjoying it a great deal. Our group is small (myself, another player and the GM) which really works to our advantage when building and maintaining atmosphere.

Planning: S&W Whitebox After various speculative house-ruling attempts I've settled with a simple, 3rd level starting point plus some of the more elegant additions out there (Shields Shall Be Splintered and Manoeuvres, to name two). I'm reskinning B10 towards a more early-medieval, implicitly Lovecraftian setting with satisfying results.

Playing: 4e @ a game shop (Mondays), LOTFP in Stonehell via google talk (right now!)

Tonight's old school transcript gem:

DM: Snorri is carrying axe and lantern, other Dwarves = leather, axe, shield
DM: I stand corrected.  They're all wearing mail.  They suddenly resemble giant bags with dollar signs on them.
Fighter: Haha, as if they ever didn't!
DM: "Thank you, Raggi, for provoking us to murder every time we see metallic armor"
Fighter: Almost certainly his intent.
DM: "I'm getting that fucking warhorse"
Wizard: One sleep spell would do it.
Fighter: Probably only a dropped decimal place on ration prices failed to communicate the coded-in impetus to cannibalism.
GM: It really is cheaper to buy linkboys than rations.
Fighting Man: "System Matters."

Some friends just asked me to start GMing for them... it's probably going to be WFRP or CoC... which makes me quite happy.

OMG! You're straddling both sides! (sort of)

Yeah, I used to do a lot of yoga.

Stonehell update:

DM: I can't believe I'm asking this, but who has the dungeon pliers?
