If it's OK, I'll definitely take the Tako, I'll probably edit the descriptions slightly, but that's fine.

The Mongrelfolk are a bit of a mixed bag, the 1D6 extra damage when using 1 handed weapons could be very OP, especially if they dual-wield. Also Magic Fear will be, for the majority of the RP an inferior version of both the Half-Orc's Tough Hide and the Lizardmen's Tough Scales. I think they would need to be redone before they'd fit into this RP. So no to them.

Shardmind I'm fine with and will be including them as is.

The Psion, I'm happy with but for three words. I'm probably going to include them but change the first sentence of Fate Seer to "-1 Cir for all enemies in the same room as you, unless they are in combat." I will also say that both classes of Psion can only wear clothing.

The Landsknecht isn't going to work, probably. I'm not planning on having gunpowder weaponry in this so that's Shot out. Pike is similarly out as the +2 damage for every ally with a shield in the room could get OP quickly.

The Brawler is a nice idea, that I'm going to tone down a little bit before putting in. I'm going to remove the +4 Damage bonus from Slugger, and limit him to wearing not being able to wear Mail armour or better. For the Dirty Fighter I think the +3 Cir bonus when going into close combat is a bit too much and I'm removing it, but otherwise that's fine. The Dirty Fighter will not be able to wear Heavy Armour or better.

Enjoy your holiday/day off!

Hello and welcome to the RP. Below you'll find various posts each containing different bits of the RP, for example the Class and Race lists, the Dice mechanics etc. as well as a General/Q&A post and an example post. Yes this is filler to hold it all together, no I don't care if this isn't how things are normally done.

So once again welcome to the RP. Be inquisitive, be proper and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

The story of Thanksgiving is that when strangers land on these shores, sick and hungry, fleeing persecution, we don't reject them. We welcome them. We feed them. We extend the hand of friendship.

Today, I'm thankful for everyone who lives the spirit of that story.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

—"The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus, American poet

And, uh, why are you looking at me like that? I'm nobody's turkey!

*goes back to celebrating with microwaved hot dogs and Chinese food*

To my fellow American Boarders, have a happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy this time with family and friends, and don't eat too much!

To everyone else...um...happy Thursday?

Whether she files in Wisconsin, that is.

The reasoning currently on the page - that $2.2 million is needed purely in filing fees, $2.5 million should cover everything for Wisconsin, and $6-7 million ought to do everything - seems valid to me. Any idea what it originally said? Because either of those first two would make an initial goal of $2.5 million make sense.

hS

... That La Stein (who, like so many scientifically-illiterate elderly white women, thinks vaccines cause autism and homeopathy is a solution to all one's problems) originally had the goal set as $2mn. Only to move the goalposts at three o'clock in the morning. Slightly shady.

Still, I'll take "slightly shady" over "Christ on a pedalo, how has Der Cheetofuhrer not been impeached yet?" any day of the week. =]

So as we all know from Florida way back in 2000, one of the best ways to drag out an election is to call for recounts. There have been various rumours that Clinton might do that, and several purported reasons why (one being a mismatch between results from paper and electronic votes, when Russian hacking has already been part of the electoral season), but so far she hasn't.

But now Jill Stein has.

Apparently you don't have to be in with a shot of winning to request a recount - you just have to be on the ballot. And to pay for it, which, uh, she's up to $2.5 million now. That's far more than the amount needed to file for a recount in Wisconsin (which has to be done by tomorrow), and should cover the actual fees for said recount.

So, yeah. I don't even know if you should donate to this at this point; I have absolutely no clue what's going on any more.

Wheeeeeeeeee, 2016!

I have a better character idea for that, compared to the Dungeon Crawl.

The best character was clearly the Bowtruckle.

But yeah, the movie was brilliant. Easily the best Harry Potter movie, though the fact that I didn't have a book to compare it to helped. Also Newt the Bowtruckle was very cute and obviously needed cuddles. >.>

Argh!
Drat!

Happy birthday!
Happy post-birthday birthday!

My gift to you is an interdimensional portal, so that you can travel to a universe in which I actually congratulated your birthday on time.

Argh!
Drat!

But thanks! c:

I mean if it is basically Hanharr (KotOR2) with Lightsabers (which was actually the original plan) then it could work. But keep in mind Lucas himself was the one who wanted to reign in the Wookie Jedi. It could be doable though.

Managed to cling to a mudball hurtling 'round the nuclear mulberry bush at 108,000 kilometers an hour for another whole circle! You're to be congratulated on your persistence.

Really, the accomplishment is its own reward- anything else would just be overly charitable, I think.

Happy birthday!

Harpy barofday!

I grift you: the spirit of birthdaymas!

Hurzah!

So, SWATCOTHA (the dungeon crawler-esque RP) is now finished, I completed the health and rejigged some of the mechanics last night. It is now ready to go whenever you want it to.

Toktu (the Pokemon RP) now has Pokemon inhabiting its routes (with around 500 Pokemon available from the first 6 Gens), however this is still a bit on the back-burner seeing as more people seem to like SWATCOTHA (which I'm starting to regret giving such a long name to that even its acronym is still fairly long).

Here, have an otter with a terrible pun and my best wishes.
