Anna

Thanks, will try there tonight, and let you know what Sari sees, she's level 12. Are the tables lavel variable, or the same for all?

As we have a book section for reviews, I thought why not movies? Kaitlinn bought me Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue Sunday, and I was so entranced that I had to watch it twice!! I would especially recommend this film if you've little girls, the fairies are truly adorable, and unlike many animated features they do not seem to push the Must Buy the Toys things so much. As for the film itself, the animations are stunning, the fairies beautiful, and the plot simple and engaging, without any scariness or crude humor that accompanies some kid's movies. Cara Dillon, the incredible

I just completed reading "The Gathering Storm", Book 12 of the Wheel of Time fantasy series by Robert Jordan, and now Brandon Sanderson, as Mr Jordan sadly passed away in November of 2007 before completing this series, in my opinion the second greatest fantasy world of all, next to Middle Earth. The Wheel of Time is to most fantasy series what Annakolia is to most Neverwinter Nights servers: lush and full of vivid characters, landscapes, plots, and details, as opposed to bland generic concepts of most fantasy authors. In the first 12 books of the planned 14, each person becomes fleshed out

Makes me think of back home in Ireland, with the rock walls that have been there for centuries, and family agreements on pastures about as long. too, of cycling near Killarney, and so often waiting for the sheep to cross the road, the wee lambs scampering about.

Special thanks to the Girl Rangers and their grand roleplay last eve with Sari, it was extremely fun!!

My only concerns about rust monsters are these, as a long time dm and former Gm: 1. Lag issues, if they spawn too close then switching to missle weapons can fail easily, and you lose everything, all your kit and weapons 2. Are these the bugged rust monsters, that devour anything whether metal or not? Back on my old server, we had these, and banned their use due to that. 3. Luckily here fairly decent gear and weapons can be bought in stores, and gold is not so hard to gather. However, I worry for others now with unique items, or myself in the hopeful future, about these randomly des

I wonder as kait has if any DM's or other players have interest in an elven group, or a rogue/thief group? I've seen lovely areas for the elves, and grand roleplay potential, and there is the thieves' guild in Annakol that I could see being fun. I'm old enough to have read Anne Logston's Shadow series about thieves, and to have seen old reruns of the Robert Wagner show on the telly, "It takes a Thief" Without a dm being involved though, most thieving abilities become harder to roleplay. Anything from burglary, espionage, spying, con games, all fit under rogues, bards, and shadow dancer

I greatly appreciate the efforts of Barry and Malishara here, and the thoughtful comments of everyone else. I'm not trying to just vent and complain, but indeed improve things for myself and other potential new players, as what to do after level 7 or so outside of scheduled group events is a concern. People have been inviting me to join them in things, I greatly appreciate that. I also know though from playing playing my old epics on my old server that sometimes it's fun to play them, and if 4 are on playing epics, it's not fair to ask everyone to switch because I am relatively new. S

I was in the Bree Crypt, with Sari, level 10, rogue wizard 6/4. I was fighting Mummies, greater mummies, doom knights, a good fun challenge, then hello, brown back drider, +53 to hit, dead Sari. Yes, I was solo, but I don't think a party of five, balanced, of level 10-14 characters could face that. And something like that, seeming like most driders, you have no idea they are epic. Sari has +19 to hit, and rolled a 19, so the drider must have an AC of 39+. Are these epic spawns random, where they just appear suddenly, or set piece? I've talked to other players, who don't seem to run int

My main character right now is Sari Brightleaf, 8th level, rogue/wizard 4/4. I have asked DM Malishara where to go now, and had two places suggested, the Bree Caves, and the Caves of Chaos. Unfortunately, very high level monsters are spawning on the way to both, and too close to even flee. 1. On the way to Bree, in Daylight on the road, 12 forest trolls swarmed me, instakill. 2. On the way to the Caves of Chaos this evening, a fire giant cleric pops up, swings twice, instakill. "Well Anna, you need to party up" I would dearly love to do so, but for two reasons: a. Often times l

My future bladesinger Granuiale, currently a fighter/bard of 4/3, seems to be doing well enough from having played her a bit last eve. I too used to struggle in my previous sojourn here with archer dreams, I had liked the wind sniper idea, but learned as Kait has that except as a sidekick in most cases with hardcore difficulty archers will be shredded. *shrugs* From what little I have seen of magical items thus far I think it will balance out, between what's available to be found or bought, possible future crafting of such unique items, and the existing baking and all. It's when the challe

I feel like that first night of the semester, going bout the room with introductions... I never quite am knowing what to say! I'm Anna, Irish born and now American as of December of 2009, attending Monmouth University in New Jersey to hopefully receive my Master's degree in Liberal Arts. After that, I hope to seek my PhD while adjunct teaching...someplace, hopefully in the Northeastern US. As long as me and my love are together and happy as we both pursue such, that's what's important, aye? I have played Dungeons and Dragons since 1977, just after having finished reading The Hobbit and
