Walsingham

The problem is that it is designed to limit a 'soft' effect, with 'hard' rules. You'd get worse on the news, I'm sure.

I'll have to check that out.

So he says because he wouldn't take his 11 year old to see the film, 12 years is too low! What a ****. But made me laugh.

Finally the message gets through. I see what you mean. However, particularly given your role as human skillz monkey it could be funny if you started bringing in more of the human to your role. A heartfelt urge to get some decent slippers, an inability to shave properly, sneaking pomanders into their boots at night for the smell. As for firepower, you'd have to ask these good gents. I don't know the system outside of computer RPGs.

No. I mean written sketches, not of stats or occupations (well, not restrictively so). I'm talking about sketches of the things which make characters come to life. Like: "From 30 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 10 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away." (Raymond Chandler) "He stooped a great deal and plodded along in a slow preoccupied manner, which made the bustling of London thoroughfares no very safe resort for him. He was dirtily and meanly dressed, in a threadbare coat, once blue, reaching to his ankles and buttoned to his chin, where in vanished in the pale ghost of a velvet collar. A piece of red clothe with which that phantom had been stiffened was now laid bare, and poked itself up, at the back of the old man's neck, into a confusion of gray hair and rusty stock and buckle which altogether nearly poked his hat off. His trousers were so long and loose, and his shoes so clumsy and large, that he shuffled like an elephant; though how much of this was gait and how much trailing cloth and leather, no one could have told." (Charles Dickens) I want characters to have desires, above all, and reasons why they have those desires, and reasons to have so far failed to attain them. Give those characters power, be it an army, money, or an inherited scrap of a notebook, and you have a plot!

I'm not having a ago at you, because it's so weasy to slip int othat way of thinking. but this isn't a team sprt. It's roleplaying. It's about moving into another life, another person. Maybe they want to give up spellslinging, and become a bongo player? A chef? A politician? What do you think?

I really like the idea of some corrupting artifact. I also take on board the notion of flexibility. However, flexibility is also the enemy of depth and detail. I wonder what things one can plan in a detailed way? One idea I had was characters. how about a couple of character sketches?

LMAO.

I've always viewed quantum physics with the same suspicion I have of hard drugs. Sure someone sort of has to do it, to report back. But it's a 'red jumper' affair. I finished off the last of my sandwich to see if it was only tasty because I was hungry, and it wasn't. I think there must be something wrong with me. It was delicious!

Chimps do.

I'm listening to .

My last meal is going to be nitroglycerine. The explosive kind. But only if they're going to shoot, hang, or electrocute me.

I can see the judge's point that the prison system can't cope with a man with dementia. But surely you can't just shrug and push him out onto the streets? I mean, if he's bonkers enough to strangle his own wife he might turn on anyone!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotlan...est/7540994.stm I vaguely follow the judge's logic. But can it really be appropriate to sentence a man to one year out of the pub for murder? The judge stated that him drinking in the pub 'might annoy' her relatives. Like him getting away Scot free (no pun intended) with murdering their relative would be OK.

How about What If America?

This lunchtime I convinced the ladies at the deli to make me a black pudding, mascarpone, and sweet chilli baguette. One hour later I'm still trying to work out if I am a culinary genius, or should be shot.

What would your character do?

very good of you to help out. It sounds like you'll be invaluable, given your credentials. The setting is Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. It does support single character play. My thoughts so far are as follows. 1. Establish the characters in the Border Princes. It's a free form place with little law and order, and plenty of bandits, goblins etc. Let them stretch their legs. 2. Eventually, have someone suggest they get involved in a mining operation in the hills. As troubleshooters, doctors, miners, mine-owners whatever. The miners, of course, disturb something better left undisturbed. I'm thinking a necromancer, who begins raising the dead. Depending on the PCs these could be anything from resurrected miners to ancient skeletons of dead warriors. 3. Have some macguffin for the PCs going down into the Empire. Probably as a way of spending their loot with hopes of a more relaxing time. Bring them into a proper city with order, and of course intrigue. I want to come up withs omething which could be truly world changing and stick to it. i.e. if they don't svae the day then the world becomes a lot more unpleasant.

I can only assume something linked to the same people who got a vulnerable man with learning difficulties to act as a suicide bomber (but who fortunately failed)

I totally agree on Lionheart. i played it through a second time hoping that I'd been on crack or something the first time. It was within 'put them on the glass' range of brilliance. But failed.

Me too!

I don't know, though. Oysters can be pretty shellfish.

For me, Muppet Treasure Island is the definitive version.
