Yeah it looks way too yellow, like it's trying to mirror the look of Human Revolution.
[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;44089007]I don't like the look of them, I mean they're well made and stuff, just the wood burning looks bad and it doesn't make me think of Shadowrun.[/QUOTE] Eh, its better than drawing a black rectangle on a Chessex board. :v: I'll post how they look in person when they get here.
Today in Pirates RPG, the gang collects a scroll of Mad Monkeys, refuses to sell a captive to dwarven slavers, and instead buys a gyrocopter and spices from them. Also failed a navigation check during a really bad storm causing them to sail to the wrong island. Of course, this storm was created by our own Elowin for checking the weather. First check, heat wave, second check, cold snap. Boom, results in a terrible storm on the sea. Dug up their 20k gold on Trasur island before leaving too. I suppose I should mention that our barbarian successfully hunted cassowaries, wrestled a water buffalo, and hunted shark. Him and the Barbarian chef then turned the shark into Sashimi for the officers of the crew. Exciting times on the Citrine coast. [editline]1st March 2014[/editline] Oh, and we avoided going to the island populated by cannibal halflings.
[QUOTE=Jax Strife;44094028]Oh, and we avoided going to the island populated by cannibal halflings.[/QUOTE] I still say we should turn this ship around and go to cannibal halfling village instead of the puny razor coast.

Basically unless you have it fresh as fuck and drained of all its blood or drained of all its blood and cook the shit out of it the shark will literally taste like piss.
Delicious. They've drank/eaten diseased ratfolk food so shark piss isn't that terrible.
i think shark piss is a step up from what they've eaten tbh.
So shooting OP guns at the floor to intimidate people when there's a nursery that you didn't know about underneath that floor turns out to be a very poor decision. So does admitting to be a false prophet. You learn something every day.
I also learned that when worst comes to worst, you let the pet goldfish pilot the mecha if you lack the skills to sword fight.
Exalted session #3: [quote]End of last session, they were flying towards Ironfall on Wolf's ship, the Chinook, when they saw a star falling in to Icehome to their north. Cloud hopped off the ship and used her hearthstone to turn in to a flaming bird and make it to Icehome in about 6 minutes, arriving outside Wolf's house just 15 seconds after the star would have touched down. Flying in through the hole it left, she found an empty crater. Flying back out, she looked at the streets below and saw a few different people carrying large objects. Going immaterial, she stuck her head in to each of their bags and found one man to be carrying a load of food, a woman also carrying a load of food, and then a man carrying a very large teddy bear. Grabbing the last man, she lifted him in one claw and his bag in the other, finding the bag much heavier than him. She flew back to the Chinook, man and overweight bear with her. Back at the ship, they tied the man up and Crimson used a countermagic to dispell the charm masking what they learned was a hunk of starmetal as a teddy bear. Questioning the man, Crimson eventually used a charm to drain a few motes from him(the amount of which is specific to his essence level), learning from this that the man was essence 6. He stopped pretending to be an average mortal, at that, and gave them his name: Vulture. As they continued to sail towards Icehome, Vulture told them that he had been looking in to the dying gods, as well, and that he'd narrowed it down to an exalt somewhere in Icehome. He also made an offhand comment about having some allies in the city, and that they'd all been looking in to it, with him. As they arrived at the docks, he pointed out to them the still-smoking wreckage of another airship about 20 feet away from the air docks. Then he disappeared. While most of the group went to check out the wreckage, Wolf and Cro'kiri stopped by Wolf's house and checked out the damage. There really wasn't much, just a hole in the ceiling and through his bed, plus a small crater under it. Back at the wreckage, they found that anything of value on it had already been removed, save for an adamant dagger lying on the ground near the front. They also noted a lack of holes in the balloon, and that the lighterthingy was still in good condition. It seemed to have just suddenly lost the ability to fly. Returning to Wolf's house, they found that the crowd had thinned a bit, so that the only people remaining were a young man with brown hair and a trimmed beard, a middle-aged looking woman with short blonde hair, and a young man with curly black hair. The brown-haired man had earlier mentioned to Wolf and Cro'kiri that his best guess was that a star fell in to the house. They now returned to him and asked him how he knew this. He claimed it was just a logical guess. They learned his name was Silas, the son of the tavern owner from Black Cliff, and that he'd been staying in Icehome for a few months. He'd heard about the star that fell in his family's house, and commented about the fact that, had he not left when he did, it probably would have fallen in his lap(as it fell on to his bed). In addition, he mentioned he'd been looking in to the falling stars since then, and offered his assistance after acknowledging the fact that the group were exalts. A few minutes after, he told them where he lives(above a weapons shop in the old market) and left. As Silas departed, the blonde woman came over. She introduced herself as Rasella, and mentioned the fact that she knew Wolf. Using a charm, Lioness gauged her essence and learned she was essence 8, and a Lunar. She spoke of knowing Wolf in the past, and him having been a terrible person, then, as he chattered about wanting to build a yurt, decided to give him a warning: If he should even begin to go down the same path, she would kill him. The group then all went home and went to bed.[/quote]

It's finished!!! [img]http://i.imgur.com/hKrlBnM.jpg?1[/img] If anyone wanted to know, the story behind this was~ The Jester wanted to put on a magic show to earn some cash for the group. Jester went and set a stage up, went to the docks and bought a cage with three monkeys in, a goblin and a fat pigeon. Lord Denver who was cousin to the King showed up for it too. They finally started the magic show and did various tricks such as, animating a rope and tying up the Druid. Then the Jester threw knives at him, rolling to hit with the handle, which he luckily succeeded. They balanced on the animated rope and did some colour spray spells. Then it started getting a bit out of hand as the Jester cast a spell to make the Druid a size smaller, which then, the Wizard cast Steal Size on him to make him EVEN smaller. So you now have this 10ft Wizard jumping around the stage. They popped the druid on top of the Pigeons back and sat it on the Jesters shoulder. Coming up to the finale, the Jester raised his hands in the air and casted Firework. I first thought "Oh this will be cool, nice use of a spell." I then read up on the actual spell and it blinds, everything, in a 180 foot radius... So this is where the picture is, you have a huge fucking Wizard spraying Lord Denver, the Rogue stealing his necklace, the Pigeon taking flight with a midget druid on its back and the Jester having the time of his life. Shortly after this all happened, the whole town was out to get them and they actually got caught and put in prison.
Wow, I never realised that two of the characters I've painted are actually in the same campaign together. That is rad. [sp]Anselm being a huge dick just like I imagined him :v[/sp]

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;44101374]This is why if I was a mayor of a town I would not allow adventurers into it.[/QUOTE] but remember adventurers are fantastic for the local economy you could probably raise the prices for everything in town by an order of magnitude and they're adventurers so they're swimming in cash so they'll just pay it despite being overpriced because oh no a whole GP I've only got like a zillion of those
I'm almost always broke when I play RPGs...
[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;44103812]I'm almost always broke when I play RPGs...[/QUOTE] Maybe you shouldn't fund the entire group's supply of Cheetos and Mountain Dew then.
[QUOTE=elowin;44104446]Maybe you shouldn't fund the entire group's supply of Cheetos and Mountain Dew then.[/QUOTE] I meant my characters are broke. Unfortunately, I've never played in-person.
Why do DMs think it's ever a good idea to make their players level 1... ... And then have XP be as rare as water in a desert? I get it, being a low-level schmuck can be great to get a sense of power progression and characterization, but it's not fun being stuck as a low-powered nobody for so long you've forgotten what the point of the campaign was.

if you haven't leveled up after the second session your gm is doing something wrong.
[QUOTE=lintz;44105081]if you haven't leveled up after the second session your gm is doing something wrong.[/QUOTE] Alternatively if you hit 10th level by the end of the first, your dm is also doing something wrong. [sp]Jake, if you're reading this, fucking cool it with the XP.[/sp]
Come to think of it, I haven't played in a d&d game that actually went by the xp rules in years. We've generally just gone by the dm saying whether we leveled or not at each session's end, and use the gold conversion for things with xp costs.
I just level them when i feel like they've gone through enough shit.
I usually kill my character off before they get to a decent level
