I don't follow college sports -- at all -- so I have no idea how good or bad they may be. The Browns, well, I know how close (or far) they are from winning anything. Speaking of Ohio State, though, one of my favorite NFL players of all time was Raymont Harris, a former Buckeye.wolfpack wrote:Notice you didn't say anything about the Buckeyes though.

Ah, well... give me some time to work with the numbers and I'll figure something out.

Yes, the Cubs didn't represent well last week against the Cardinals. Eight runs over a four game series. Let's see...
Eight runs.
Eight characters.
Okay, everybody gets one extra experience point!
No worries, another award (total game post count) will be coming soon.
Another 8-0 score.onlyme wrote:Dave, what about Uruguay's suspenseful nailbiting victory over Tahiti in soccer?
Out of curiosity, I show the total post count for the game sitting at: 2,942.dmw71 wrote:Keep in mind, I have a private DM thread which, while I don't use it nearly as often anymore, those posts do count towards the overall game post count (since that is the number I see and go with).

Not anymore.

Do you guys see it as 2,872?
Okay, cool. That's what I was expecting, as I currently have 70 total posts in the DM-only thread. Note that this DM-only count is subject to change as I add and remove things, but you should at least have an idea how much closer you actually are to reaching the 3,000 total post count milestone.onlyme wrote:Not anymore.

Oh, you're right. And... they'd won it in... the early 90's before that?

I won't complain if you have one too many celebrating and accidentally award all of us some bonus XP, now would I?
No sir, I wouldn't.

Where in the heck did I get 29 years from, then???
Must be from the steroids...
Actually, prior to 2010, the last time they won the Cup was in 1961 (when they were the Black Hawks, not Blackhawks. They did lose the cup in 1992 to the Penguins. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?Alethan wrote:Oh, you're right. And... they'd won it in... the early 90's before that?

I'm curious about this, too. What, 1984? That was a bad year for the Cubs.Alethan wrote:Where in the heck did I get 29 years from, then???

They're getting closer, though. Mark my words.
P.S. I live right by Aurora, and need to drive to there, in fact, to take the train as that is as far west as the line currently reaches.

Football is probably still my favorite sport, but baseball and hockey are both right there as second options for me. Like Alethan, I couldn't care less about basketball. I used to really like it, a lot in fact, but the league has turned into a bunch of prima-donna whining cry babies it has almost become unwatchable. My opinion, of course.saalaria wrote:Ah no wonder it was so confusing. I've watched a fair amount of the nfl over the years as we get it here regularly but I know zero about hockey and baseball...
It took me a while to locate this post, but Alethan is correct.Alethan wrote:Raven, I only see one problem with your character sheet...
You didn't raise your INT or CHA up any.dmw71 wrote:Ability Score Generation
All character ability scores will be generated using a slightly modified version of 'Method VI' presented in the 2E PHB:All players will use the method outlined above with the following exceptions:2E PHB, pg. 19 wrote:Method VI
This method can be used if you want to create a specific type of character. It does not guarantee that you will get the character you want, but it will improve your chances.
Each ability starts with a score of 8. Then roll seven dice. These dice can be added to your character's abilities as you wish. All the points on a die must be added to the same ability score. For example, if a 6 is rolled on one die, all 6 points must be assigned to one ability. You can add as many dice as you want to an ability, but no ability score can exceed 18 points. If you cannot make an 18 by exact count on the dice, you cannot have an 18 score.
- Each ability score will start with a score of 9, not an 8.
- Each ability score must be increased at least once.
- You will roll 10d4 instead of 7d6 to add to your character's abilities (Note: human characters will roll 11d4).
