ROFLMAO!! You guys crack me up! Thanks for the return welcome!

Yah. Welcome back. Now build me a pyramid.

He doesn't have a pyramid, but he does have a flying mobile office building. Does that count?

Did he get that in a Fantastic Four universe?

It brings to mind two of my players. One had a light sabre, the other wanted to steal his compadre's light sabre (possibly). It would have to be tempting as an evil verser to steal something as outright cool and useful as a flying building.

Lol! As long as they didn't take my parking spot while trying to steal the building! Dom hate that!

No, not a Fantastic Four universe; a present day universe where certain people have technology well beyond that which the general populous has, the world where Pharaoh met adult Lilith, Dawn, and Domodred.

Well, you've always got the will power check for taking someone else's equipment, but as John said, Domodred wouldn't be very accepting of anyone unauthorized entering.

Most of my characters would do a lot for a lightsabre. :P, Put that on my to do list Eric and MJ.

I'm sure we can find a sabre made of aluminum if you want a lightweight sabre.

Um no, don't make me put you in Barney's World for GM's :P

I should have used that one in a game. Drat.

Which, the light sabre or the Land of the Benevolent Purple Dinosaur?

Such a fun world. I ought to send someone there. *eyes his table of players in fond threat*

Already sent Jhiaxus, but not cause he deserved it, I must be clear (or Jhiaxus will clear that up for me :) ), but just out of amusement.

And the light sabre.

"Hey Midnight, I heard you saying you'd like a light sabre. I found one down at the machine shoppe."

Midnight tolls for you, now post to his thread :P

Oh, I won't be sending him. Not next, anyway. I know where he's going next. O=) I know where all my players are going next except Pharaoh.

@Jhiaxus in the game he runs for Kyler: "*They look stylin bro*", I LOL-ed!

@ John being run by Eric: And I guess it didn't occur to you that since you snitched most of the guys are probably saying it was you, and that you sabotaged your own weapon in an attempt to cast suspicion away from yourself.

Well, if they come for me, either I'll send them to hell, or they will send me to the next world.

@ John in Eric's game, looks like the gremlins I killed in the Iron Plains found a new home :P

hah!

@Nik, better picture :P

@ Adam, thanks!

@ Eric with Adam, Hah! Savate! Cool!

Niko,
I rolled a 6 on 4d6 which is the closest thing Random.org has, and (I'm used to using Random now), and so I had to ask myself what would make Nikolaj really happy. He wouldn't want either dead, nor does he particularly want to fight either one....so...mutual KO.

And I may have used savate because you'd mentioned it recently.

Closest thing random.org has to what??? I use their integer generator for everything I do, from 1 to 100 to 3 to 30 to 1 to 40 to 11 to 40.

edit: Actually, from what I've seen, it may even be possible to bookmark the results page; and get 100 different randomly generated results every time you revisit the page. Unfortunately, since I can't rename my bookmarks using my current phone-based web browser, I can't easily do it that way.

Yeah, but I doubt the 3 is close to one in a thousand there, so using 4d6 gets closer to the point of the GE roll.

Technically speaking, the numbers generated are more random than dice; thus closer to the 1 in 1000 chance.

I see how you mean, I've been doing it wrong. I need to generate one to tens and add the first three.

@ Eric, this is what I use: http://dicelog.com/dice

@ Eric, Yes, sound good. The most awesome would be that they suddenly became friends or something, which would on the other side be really, really weird.

It's cool to see Savate indeed. There are more not frequently seen, like Pankration, Greco-Roman wrestling, Capouera ... But then again, I'm always on the lookout for what's barely used.

capoeira. very good though. Pankration is the best.

Yeah, I thought I misspelled it but it's past midnight so I don't want to look it up (I'm up from 5 A.M this morning)

Most of the people in John's world use American Indian Wrestling, and most of the people in Jhiaxus's world used either Brawling or Scientific Boxing.

Past midnight? *thinks* That makes sense. Sleep well.

If you are looking for an easy way to generate 3d10 randomly, feel free to use and/or bookmark the following link...

http://www.random.org/integers/?num=3&min=1&max=10&col=5&base=10&format=html&rnd=new

My schedule is still too stretched to play, but I do manage to follow a few of the threads via RSS... :)

That'd be the one I use

Note on GE rolls: there is a 3d6 scale in the book, which doesn't have the 1/1000 results on the end but does provide a decent scale similar to the 3d10 version if that's what's available to you.

Or if you can generate 1 to 1000, you can use the last three digits as 3d10. 0 (or an empty space) is 10, so 1 is 21 (because it's 001) and 1000 is 30 (because it's 10+10+10). The lowest roll is then 111, 1+1+1=3.

--M. J. Young

that's chinese to me...

I get it.

You roll a d1000.

Whatever the last three digits are, you treat them as if they were single ten sided dice.

So, 1000, 0s being ten, is 10 plus 10 plus 10, or 30; the worst roll on a general effects roll, or GE roll, and that's the only roll that will equal that sum.

0111, or 111, is 1 plus 1 plus 1, and equals 3, the best roll on a ge roll and the only result that will equal 3.

0112, 0211, and 0121 will all equal 4, and 0900, 0090, and 0009 all equal 29.

For 5 and 28, there are even more results that will result in those numbers. 0221 0212 0122 0311 0131 0113 will all be 5, and 0990 0909 0099 0008 0080 0800 are all 28.

And so on and so forth, so that you're most likely to get the neutral results in the middle, but one in a thousand times you'll get the beyond best fortune result or the beyond worst nightmare result.

@Michael in 1nut's game: So, you like puzzles, huh? Hmm...

I wonder if I can get the notes for the Playground to supplement running you when I take you over.

I've tried Oak's page, and it looks like it works well so I've added it to my toolbar. Thanks all.

Kyler, in this case I'm gonna smile politely as MEGO takes over. Back spawn of a Math loving creature, back I say!

@Mike in 1nut's game: Well, personally, I'm still scared of a group of male homosexual verser highly intelligent dragons putting me in a dress and making me call myself Shirley for a few hundred years until they get bored and kill me. I think that's something it's ok to be scared of.

That thought wouldn't have ever come to me, but now that you mention it, yes, that would be scary and hopefully never happen to me.
