Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

Well done, sir.

I was about to post about how I managed to eat a 3 pound burrito in under 5 minutes... but somehow that feels dwarfed in comparison.

If it was a 5 pound burrito in under 3 minutes it would be on par.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I just finished downloading every single piece of information from the D&D Insider website. I decided to subscribe for 1 month, immediately cancel the auto-renewal... and download EVERYTHING.

In total, 12 gigs... and I had to download one .pdf at a time. It took me roughly 8 hours of multitasking downloads while working today... but it's done.

I now have a nearly limitless supply of material I can use for my campaign... and for any future campaign.

And best of all? Everything I downloaded requires you to subscribe to Insider if you want to look past the first paragraph.

40+ full campaigns... about 5,000 individual adventures and sidequests. Nearly 10,000 NPCs and Villains, around 1,000 Monsters, Gods, Demigods and Demons that aren't included in any of the books you can buy... and just short of 200 unique cities that can be plopped down into any campaign without much hassle.

I'm way too excited to start this endless reading. Talk to you guys next week.

Gods, Demigods and Demons

It might be another session before we are strong enough to take these guys on. But hell, I'm game. Bring it on!

I have a lot of fun things planned for next session. But ill save the details for the other thread.

Yeah, we should probably wait 'til we have second level spells before we go after mobs from other planes of existence.

I recall the Gods and Demigods manual being a particularly good read.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

AD&D Dieties and Demigods is still one of my favorite books they put out. Very good read indeed.

I also enjoyed the Manual of the Planes from 3rd edition and the Dungeon Masters Guide 2 from 3rd as well.

I pine for the days when the writing in the manuals was as good as it was back in AD&D. They really knew how to make a User Manual feel like a legitimate book. Monster Descriptions and ecologies spanned 3-4 pages... not just a half page blurb with an artist depiction covering the other half.

Unearthed Arcana... also a good read.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I never did get my hands on any AD&D stuff, but I did spend a summer reading every 3rd edition book I could get my hands on. My library is fucking awesome.

What a nerd.

Gift from my father for my birthday 2 years ago -.-*

He's the one I inherited all my original AD&D books from in the first place.

Nice.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I made a bunch of leather covers for all of my D&D books back in the day. They were pretty awesome (imho). I'll have to post pics of them. The MM was a particular favorite, as it's cover wrapped around and could be held closed with a leather strap....

So much fun! I'll have to get back into making them.... Damn you all and your discussion on things-that-I-used-to-do-and-loved-doing-and-now-have-to-start-doing-again-including-actually-PLAYING-D&D!

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I'd tell you to come join the campaign, but I think Yyg might have a conniption.

Seriously though, post those leather bindings. I wouldn't even know how to go about making those, but it sounds like a really cool thing to be able to do.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

Well. We do have room in the party now. We're down to 4 PCs.

Just sayin'. We meet up every other Saturday between 3:00 and 4:00 PM EST and play until whenever... but usually stop around 8:00 or 9:00pm EST
