Hala

All good wishes to you and to your family. Hoping for the best possible outcomes in all cases.

Please convey particular condolences for the loss of the cat, and know, if it helps at all, that there are people here who understand the magnitude of that heartache. *strong hugs*

Ahoy, all you scurvy dogs! If you don't wish Akai a HAPPY BIRTHDAY on Talk Like A Pirate Day, I'll have the lot of you keelhauled!

(You know the deal, Akai; there ain't no words. Happy birthday.)

When no DM is present, PCs cannot emote subduing (knocking out) spawns (bandits, monsters, animals, etc.), unless they actually have and use the means to subdue such spawns (for instance with a sleep spell). If a DM is running, then subdual may be possible; ask him how he wants to handle it. If he s...

The rules on OOC talk in game have been relaxed a bit since this topic was last bumped. I have zero problem with a little bit of OOC friendly chat, but it should still be kept to a minimum, and IC should predominate by a large percentage. We are pretty informal and not as strict about this as other ...

You are amazing and we love you.

Sending you hugs and all our support.

Heh. I was going back through old posts searching for a certain song when I came across this, and noticed that I had never answered it! D'oh! Now I'm looking around the room for the most unusual thing here... Lots of neat stuff, but...aha! I have a jar of dried four leaf clovers! That's pretty unusu...

The Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas has had a skeleton crew 24-7 through the flood keeping the ISS flying. They have a new logo modified from the official one, and the Latin is "Ad Astra Per Aquam", which translates as: "To the Stars Through the Water" :D (would show the l...

Oh, that kind of cap! NVM!

I believe the cap is 12? So you can only get to plus 12 in anything with items. The bonuses you already have from your feats and classes and etc. do not count in this total, I think? But spells do count, I think. Don't take my word as gospel, though; I suck at game mechanics. But somebody will soon ...

Lexy missed a pool party! Horrors!

Whew! Finally completely caught up with reading the boards! Will endeavor not to get behind again!

Purple is good. Easy to read.

It's nice to be back!

Heya,

I have a really hard time reading the blue colored words in posts. Purple is fine, though, and probably other colors. Also, I have a really hard time reading tiny lettering. But I'm really nosy and curious, so please, for my sake, don't use tiny lettering and blue words? Thanks!

Err...did I say 8:00? I meant 7:00. Doh!

I just got back home, so there WILL be a Tower meeting tonight! (Aug. 17th)

I'm home! I'm home! :) Just in time to read about all of Amby's troubles with her family's health; yikes! :( I hope that everything continues to progress well, and all our support and good wishes from me and Akai! I'm about to read the forums to get caught up on what has happened while I was gone. L...

IC angst: Can be fun.

OOC angst: To be avoided at all costs. Got enough of that.

The more, the merrier! (or is it: The more, the angstier?)

Heya, I'm still out of town, writing from the motel room. I'll be back home probably on Thursday night, although maybe not in time for the Tower meeting. After that, I'll be gone again for about 2 weeks starting Aug. 3rd. In the week or so between getting home and leaving again I will probably be ab...

Heya,

It's now 2 and a half hours after the Tower meeting usually starts, and we just got home. I got IG to check, but there's nobody in game, so since I have a really bad cold I'm going to log off and call it a night. Tower WILL be held next week at the usual time (7:00 p.m. EST). Thanks, and sorry!

Heya!

It's time for the U.S. to "spring forward" (insert Trump joke here...). For the duration of Daylight Savings Time, Defenders will be at 3:00 p.m. EST instead of 2:00 p.m.! I'll try to log in "early" today in case anyone didn't get this message, too.

Heya,

I'm calling the Tower meeting for tonight since Lexy is stuck on Arkaz and Akai and I are both really sick. Also, Tower meetings are back to 8:00 EST for awhile so as not to conflict with Carrot's dog obedience class.

Hey, guys; I'm sorry but we (Akai and I) won't make it to the Defenders meeting today. We're fine but stuff has come up suddenly that we need to deal with in daylight (*looks meaningfully at fence-wrecking butthead sheep, and Guinea fowl who suddenly take it into their tiny little brains to fly into...
