Death Frost Doom, part 1

So today the group, after creating characters, set out to find the Screaming Mace, until the EQ player complained about the name and the wizard looking for it remembered that the name was the Wailing Mace instead. The group consists of:
Toger Ilfhem, Magic-User
Cha 13, Con 10, Dex 13, Int 16, Str 15, Wis 9.

Filip, Cleric
Cha 10, Con 15, Dex 13, Int 12, Str 11, Wis 14

Plax, Specialist
Cha 12, Con 15, Dex 9, Int 12, Str 11, Wis 12

Iam Toast, Gnome
Cha 9, Con 10, Dex 16, Int 13, Str 15, Wis 9

After some research and travelling, they thus reached the Mountain, where apparently the mace was last seen. Plax and Filip were freaked out a bit by the old man and then even more freaked out by the stuff in the cabin, the Magic-User picked up everything he found. Spoilers follow, highlight to read: They found the body, they're a bit disturbed by the mirror (only one is invisible) and think it's because the Magic-User stole stuff in the cabin. The painting freaks two of them out a bit too. They made their way down into the temple proper. They found the basins with teeth and promptly went up and kicked the dead guy's face in for the sacrifice. Before that the gnome played the organ but nobody died and the Magic-User picked up all the other loot in the room. They found the (first) book and the Magic-User took it. Plax and Filip are totally freaked out, the Magic-User thinks he's lost his soul already and the Gnome is acting as tank (AC 19).

So yeah, I suspect that this group of intrepid adventurers won't live for very long.

This blag is about all the things I find enjoyable in life.

That includes RPGs, so I guess this blag is about that. That's not to say there won't be posts about other subjects from time to time, but I think that I'm confident enough to say that this blag is about RPGs. Luckily I'm also starting up a new fantasy campaign (with LotFP rules, I guess) soon, so I guess there'll be some kind of post-game analysis things done here.

I both play and GM, but mostly I've GM'd games. That's not to say I'm good at it, but I also have never heard anyone complain so I guess I'm okay. Right now I'm running a SR campaign (although it's been on hold over summer), I'm playing in a homebrew game where we're Interpol agents trying to keep the supernatural away from public knowledge -- it's very much Conspiracy X minus the aliens and nowhere near as paranoid and... oh yeah, the fantasy campaign. I'll keep quiet about that for now, because I need to collect my thoughts on it a wee bit before I commit, but I'm stoked about it.

Apart from RPGs I play riichi mahjong, computer games, board games and I've even been known to dabble in card and miniature games. I also do code. An unkind person would call me a nerd or geek, but I disagree with that because even with this nerd pride movement that's been going on since Hollywood started their comics crusade, the word "nerd" (or "geek" for that matter) is pretty much negative, and it carries with it implications that are untrue of me. Like, I actually have a decent hygiene, I'm not overweight or terribly underweight, I don't particularly fancy anime schoolgirls (that's not to say I dislike all anime), nor do I engage in hot debates about Star Wars (I can barely quote them) or Star Trek (again, the only quote I remember is "This IS sex!" because... well, see for yourselves:

So yeah. There's more to me than that obviously, but this isn't OkCupid or any of the other dating sites, so I think I'll stop for now.

I also like long walks on the beach*
