How about tonight? That way we won't interfere woth the Wings/Coyotes game tomorrow. Plus today and next Thursday will be the last Thursday's I can play on for the next 2 month's.

On Thursday, 01-Feb-01 01:22:41 EST, Steve said

I won't be there.

On Wednesday, 31-Jan-01 18:48:13 EST, Dave said

Friday? Friday? Friday? Sounds like a good night to game @ Howey's...

On Monday, 16-Oct-00 20:42:53 EDT, Steve said

Birthright test.

On Thursday, 31-Aug-00 10:34:03 EDT, John said

I will try to get the Chronicle up soon....

And I am sure the same can be said for the curs of Ghore as well.

The enemy of your enemy may be your ally for a time, but that does not make him your friend. In my lands, the hare is among the most hated of creatures, for they eat freely of our crops and it requires much effort to keep them under control. The hares, in turn, are hunted by the wolves who take them for food and thus the two are enemies. Only a fool would call the wolf his friend, for it is well known that wolves would as soon hunt men as hares.

On Wednesday, 16-Aug-00 10:46:47 EDT, Wiliam Weiss said

My enemies enemy is my friend even if he is Evil. Let them kill each other. Then we can clean up the scraps later.

On Monday, 07-Aug-00 18:00:55 EDT, Reyad bin Bair el Mehone said

It is as a game my people have used to teach strategy for many moons. The young warriors act impetuously against the visible attack, never sensing the one that is sneaking up on them from behind. Those who are not proactive against attacks on many fronts do not live to be old kalifs. Let us, for the moment, continue with our mission of "diplomacy," I am sure that many things will not be as we expect them. And EVIL is EVIL, most honorable Weiss, in whatever guise it may take at the moment. What of the fate of Rosone if she is next? Do the right thing and count on the gods to fill in the details.

On Sunday, 06-Aug-00 23:30:52 EDT, William Weiss said

The mission comes first. Then we kill the EVIL. Besides let the evil be as long as they arn't attacking Rosone.

On Friday, 04-Aug-00 19:17:32 EDT, Ludvig said

Ja, dost villians in the hole have been taken down in numbers, thier bandit raids will be crimpered untill they can recruit new lackys, givening us allies time to complete the diplimatic mission and then return to take down the black robed curs in a s sudden strike.

On Friday, 04-Aug-00 12:37:58 EDT, Heidrek said

As I see it, we are faced with a difficult decision. We know there is evil in the swamp, but we may not be able to overcome it. Should we attempt to vanquish it and fail, then we will be dead and of no use to anyone. The evil will remain and we will have failed the Jarl.
Should we ignore the evil, we may find ourselves detained overlong in the courts of Gor. In that time the evil might regroup or it might flee, it is hard to know which. In any case, while we jabber at court, we might die in our sleep, toothless and without our weapons.
Though it pains me to say this, I think I would rather carry out the mission entrusted to us. The Jarl must need our help or she would not have asked for it. Once we have delivered the correspondence, we can report on the evil. The Gorians may parlay with us or they may allow us to return on our own. They may send us with a strong force of men and dogs to root the evil from its den.
I failed my Jarl once before, long ago, and my life has not been the same since. I say we go to the courts of Gor, report on what we have seen, and ask for leave to return to the swamp. If fortune favors us, as she often does a fool, then we will be able to return before the evil ones can regroup or retreat.
I think we should choose as a group and agree that each shall be bound by the decision of the whole. How say the rest of you?

On Monday, 15-May-00 10:11:37 EDT, John said

I have the Chronicle done, I will try to post tonight

On Friday, 12-May-00 12:25:51 EDT, Heidrek said

That you hate them does not justify killing them. It would have served you right had one of the egg sacks burst and left you covered in a dangerous mix of albumen and spiders. Erik teaches us that all things have a purpose, and I am certain that the purpose of spiders is not just to make an interesting sound when they are trod upon.

On Friday, 12-May-00 10:37:20 EDT, William Weiss said

I HATE SPIDERS

On Friday, 07-Apr-00 17:53:13 EDT, Reyad said

It appears difficult to tell if we hindered the plans of Caine Haneir. I suspect his minions would have met with less success than we if they attempted to gain the hunk of talking crystal. Perhaps we should seek the prophets of this land and listen to what they have to say of the wizard. The border skirmishes would seem to be as easy to follow as the shifting sands--the loyalties of some as well. The desires of this Caine Haneir would cast darkness across the land in his wake...the choice to meet his foreign allies and defeat them seems an easy one for me.

On Friday, 07-Apr-00 14:21:54 EDT, Hedirek said

Where shall we go now? We seem to have defeated some portion of Caine Haneir's plot, but I doubt we've seen the last of him. Should we get mixed up in the border skirmishes or return to the Jarl for more instruction and perhaps some information from the skalds on this evil sorceror we seem to have set free?

On Thursday, 17-Feb-00 16:05:58 EST, Steve said, in this wise,

Never go against the chapter!

On Thursday, 17-Feb-00 09:55:48 EST, John said

Just in case you missed it...I am NOT running today Feb 17th.

On Sunday, 30-Jan-00 17:53:32 EST, John said

I will be running, my house, on Thursday the 3rd, 7:30pm.

On Friday, 21-Jan-00 16:45:40 EST, Steve Clark? corrected rather sternly

And your first thought wasn't of the chapter? tsk, tsk.

On Friday, 21-Jan-00 12:40:40 EST, DaveM implored

Please forgive me, I had just arrived home from Nashville without sleeping for 30hrsand 20min. I knew not what I suggested.

On Thursday, 20-Jan-00 14:01:46 EST, Lou informed

There is the Chapter meeting tonight. (Don't go against the chapter)

On Thursday, 20-Jan-00 12:29:00 EST, DaveM asked

Is Birthright on for this evening??????????

On Friday, 14-Jan-00 19:42:37 EST, JOE said

Sorry, but I cant be thier tonight since Im still down with da flu.

On Tuesday, 02-Nov-99 22:20:24 EST, joe said

Any one looking for birthright stuff, I saw a few things at Old guard, he aint lowered the price any, but thier there.

On Tuesday, 02-Nov-99 17:57:17 EST, Dave asked

Will we have our current XPs & History from the last adventure before Thursday?

On Sunday, 03-Oct-99 14:00:29 EDT, Steve said

Okay, so that means I was half-right. I'll look at it again later today. Right now I'm working on finding my notes from last session and on some WC stuff.

On Sunday, 03-Oct-99 13:00:27 EDT, John said

Ok, its in the middle now but the closing brackets are on the line below...

On Saturday, 02-Oct-99 09:07:55 EDT, John said

Ok, the bottom is screwed up for me too. Looks like you need Netscape...I will have to fix that..or you could just download it...

On Saturday, 02-Oct-99 02:38:04 EDT, Reyad ... joked

I would love to show you checkers, or perhaps chess. I will explain rouchambeax to you sometimes (perhaps even play with someone else), but I'll not play it with you. (Once you see, you'll understand...)

On Friday, 01-Oct-99 13:38:17 EDT, Heidrek explained

I am not familiar with Rouchambeaux or checkers, though I am sure both are fine games. As for the rest, there are many tests which a clansman may undertake to prove his superiority to another. Each test is unique; just as there are many ways to measure a man, so there are many ways to compete. Hefnaftal, while not as dangerous as bear-baiting or even wrestling, is a measure of intellect and of tactical skill. If you would like, I would be happy to teach you. Perhaps then you could teach me checkers or rouchambeaux.

On Thursday, 30-Sep-99 17:51:08 EDT, Dave wondered

if Hfenaftal is something like "rouchambeaux?" What kinda viking plays checkers to decide who is the better man? Shouldn't you have had to rub kerosene on your ass and rub it with a wire brush? First one to cry loses?

On Thursday, 30-Sep-99 13:24:50 EDT, Steve explained

I might be a little late tonight, as there's a ceremony practice at my house at 6:00 pm. I've told them I need to bail at 7:30 pm, lets see how it goes.

On Thursday, 23-Sep-99 16:39:41 EDT, Steve said

No really, don't put yourself to any trouble, I'll just use those...

On Thursday, 23-Sep-99 15:34:12 EDT, John said

Steve, don't worry, I have your stats.

PS. I am planning on running tonight 8pm my house.

On Wednesday, 22-Sep-99 13:38:14 EDT, Steve D. begged

Hey, can I just take that last cast off of Joe's (10, 7, 13, 18, 16, 15, 16) since I lost mine?

On Wednesday, 22-Sep-99 13:04:42 EDT, John said

Hmm, look the thing is generating NPCs for me...

On Wednesday, 22-Sep-99 10:52:15 EDT, Steve suggested

How about John runs this Thursday, then we go to the alternating Sundays thing? (I want to get started on a day when I can be there!)

On Wednesday, 22-Sep-99 10:37:13 EDT, said

Right now we got steves/tom alternating on wends, dave/me alternating on mons. Steves was runnng on suns. With tomb and dragonwall both with 3 to 5 sessions each before ending and sundays probally starting up again after festival, why dont john run on thursday for a few weeks then swith over to sunday after festival and then alternate with steve. When tomb and Dragonwall run thier corse mond can be left open for new games, limited run games, cards and such.

On Tuesday, 21-Sep-99 22:53:20 EDT, Dave casts his electoral vote

for Monday night, opposite Me/Joe,since Joe indicated that his campaign may shortly be drawing to a close... I'd expect another 4-5 sessions of TOH before it's conclusion...open for suggestions after that.

On Tuesday, 21-Sep-99 21:17:50 EDT, John said

Hey this stat thingy works pretty well.
Ok, a few notes
Dave, Joe, email me your stats you rolled at Steve's.
Anyone else can either wait to roll or use the link. If the automatic generator gives you some too low scores (I am thinking you should have at least one 15) let me know and we can work something out. Don't just keep regenerating characters. From now on anyone who I feel is abusing the char gen system will get penalized, even more when you have generated good stats (eg. 16, 8, 13, 12, 15, 12, 15 | 13, 15, 15, 16, 15, 14, 9 | 13, 12, 8, 18, 13, 10, 14 | 10, 16, 15, 15, 9, 7, 15 | 13, 13, 13, 10, 16, 12, 18 OR 10, 7, 13, 18, 16, 15, 16 ) and just want to be greedy...Enough said

Min/Max is tolerated to an extent. If you don't have enought character development or role playing for your min/maxing, I'll handle it for you.

Everyone is starting at first level. House rules are coming shortly...stay tuned.

The issue came up of what day for me to run, I originally suggested Thursday's cause TV sucks, but sounds like Monday is better, with a rotation with Dave/Joe. Speak up now, or forever be a B-teamer...

On Tuesday, 21-Sep-99 21:13:49 EDT, John SCREAMED TRIUMPHANTLY

I found my Birthright Rules!!!!!!!

Thanks Joe. I really liked the 25+ characters. You know, you actually had some pretty decent on several tries..one with 2 16s and 17. Gee just what were you looking for....

On Monday, 20-Sep-99 08:04:34 EDT, Steve said

You can now submit all that stuff yourself, and send John an email with your computer-generated stats by clicking on this Link.

On Friday, 17-Sep-99 19:29:58 EDT, JOE said

Ludwig Von Bek, H-elven, 2nd in line to Duke of X. A moody young man given to introspective museing and dabbling in mysticsism. Recentlly sent to questing by family in hopes that he'll get killed off doing something heroic and advoid haveing a extra hier about when the Duke croaks, or in hopes that he finds his own lands. A rich boy suffering from angst and hornyness.

On Friday, 17-Sep-99 09:53:44 EDT, Steve asked

What race? Elf? Half-Elf? Something else?

On Friday, 17-Sep-99 07:50:32 EDT, JOE said

Ludwig, an Fighter/mage, a minor lord on quest for heroic deeds to impress the babes.

On Thursday, 16-Sep-99 23:39:30 EDT, Steve joked

Never go against the chapter. (For those who didn't hear, John's game didn't happen - Joe had car trouble, leaving only Dave and John to make it happen. Dave was napping at home and John decided against waking him [What a nice man!])
Good news for the rest of us lamers though, since now we can still get in on the ground floor.
I'll be around on Monday to apply any updates I received between now and then (yes, that is a hint!)

On Thursday, 16-Sep-99 20:13:56 EDT, Dave said sarcastically

SURE you will Steve...playing the perfect character to deny me the opportunity to be a ranger OR a druid...nice...I'll remember to return the favor real soon...

On Thursday, 16-Sep-99 19:08:56 EDT, JOE said

lacking car, may be late or not thier at all 16th if unable to leave before 900

On Thursday, 16-Sep-99 01:25:15 EDT, Steve said

Not sure I'll be able to make it tomorrow, but I do know that I want to play a priest of Erik, the forestlord. I'll wind up being a capable outdoorsman, but won't have necromancy (if that matters). Hopefully, just using one out of the book is cool without having to track down using spells and magic.
