Nice. Fingers crossed for a roll just as good when you get to Level 20. I've had +30 HP rolls at Level 10 fall into the negatives by Level 20. Fame farming is going well. I had thought this might take me a month, but I got to 400 Fame with Pally and Warrior earlier today, so I may hit 39 Stars faster than I thought.

I dive to the side around Skrall, using my greater agility to my advantage. I fire at Skrall from the Front Row with my Briar Bow before landing on my shield and going into a roll to absorb the impact of my landing.

QM Note:Xander is too far away to attack Saboteur B on this Turn.

Depends on how much Damage the special is going to do. My Onagers in Q17, for example...meh. I'd rather roll a five instead and blow up some walls.

Usually, there are a couple sets that are significantly discounted, which is why I'm going to wait for the official announcement before I decide what, if anything, I'm getting. Last year I remember I bought the Tantive IV, which I believe was either 25% or 30% off. The year before I got Home One 30% off.

Happy birthday, CopMike!

The earliest we've ever seen summer sets is in June, so I don't think there's any chance. (and that was from Amazon.fr, not TLG, from whom the set(s) must be purchased to qualify) The UCS R2 will be available starting May 1st, though.

Results of Round Twenty Five of the Battle for Bric'Bay Fort: >Althior Emorith vs. Lord Davril - Damage, Special Damage, Miss, Miss >Althior Emorith vs. Lord Davril - Magic Burst, Magic Burst, Magic Burst, Damage Xander Unth'or vs. Lord Leorry - Special Damage William Harkenshire vs. Elven Saboteur A - Special Damage William Harkenshire vs. Elven Saboteur B - Triple Shot >Arasmyth RuGard vs. Elven Onager D - Special Damage >Luke vs. Elven Onager D - Damage >Alexandre le Chevalier (Polybolos and Slice N Dice) vs. Lord Davril - Special Damage Count Lewis Knyghton does nothing. >Arthur Justus Regulus VII (Onager) vs. Lord Davril - Hit >Isabella del Toboso vs. Elven Scout B - Hit >Helm Delvergrow (Mini Merlin Trebuchet) vs. Elven Onager B - Damage Elven Archer B - Free Hit on Arasmyth RuGard Althior, with luck very much on your side, you overconfidently Miss with your first shot. Your Magic Bursts in the second, however, and you deal 88 Wind Elemental Damage to Lord Davril. Xander, you move on Lord Leorry, but, having learned his lesson, he turns invisible. William, you fire a bolt through the doorways at the saboteurs, but you miss and Saboteur A Mines the North-West Tower. Disgusted with yourself, you fire off three more shots, causing 32 Fire Elemental Damage to Saboteur A and 16 Fire Elemental Damage to Saboteur B. Arasmyth, you can't conjure a spell quickly enough, and Onager D fires a Diseased Shot. Luckily for you, no heroes were stationed on the East Wall, so that has no effect. Luke, before you can attack, the team of Onager D reloads with blinding speed and fires again, and the shaking of the wall that results prevents you from taking any shot at all. Alexandre, with Lord Davril angered and charging at Arthur, you can't line up a clear shot. Luckily, being Bound the elven lord deals no Damage to you or your fellow heroes. Arthur, you fire the onager at point-black range and hit Lord Davril in the thigh, dropping him into the water, but his armor absorbs all of the Damage. Isabella, you fling your dagger from the top of the tower and manage to hit Scout B, who is taken completely by surprise and takes 8 Damage. Helm, the team of Onager B is faster than you, and they get off a shot first. "Sirs, Lord Davril and Elites C-E have exited the river! Team C will emerge at the end of the next Round. The Saboteurs have set an explosive in the North-West Tower, which will explode at the end of the next Round.

Also mention if you want to try to flee, move, heal, or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking. Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone have acted.

Great! Always good to see newer players doing so well. Yeah, Jungle's one of my favorites, too. Mostly because it can be rushed in a couple minutes and drops decent loot. I think I like UDL better, though.

These are always being given out, so you're not to late. However, there are currently no active Star Wars staff members, so I have no idea when the tag will be awarded.

I doubt it. I'm 99.9% sure that that's a summer release. You could try buying in-store because the employees tend to be more generous with the promos and they aren't run by a strict program that requires you to fulfill certain requirements to the penny, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Depends on whether you ever plan to go for a Red Star or an Orange Star. If your goal is just to unlock the classes, get the Dark Blue Star, and settle in with your favorite class, there's no reason to go for 400. April 3, 2012: Loot and XP...and Fame Realm of the Mad God: 8 (Deaths of Known Active Players: Brickdoctr: 3+1 Suicide, CallMePie: 2, PoisonKate: 1*, LegoFlipz: 1 Suicide*, ACosty: 0, Hornblower: 0) Eurobricks Guild: 3 (Oryx Surivivals: Brickdoctr: 1, Hornblower: 1, LegoFlipz: 1) *Unconfirmed Fame was the name of the game (haha, I'm so poetic ) for the tame guild which came in shame with the aim to maim the same...lame...undead...dame...something. The guild finished with eight known deaths and three O1 survivals. Skipper won today with an overall score of +1, with new member Costy not far behind at +0. In Guild Fame gain, LegoFlipz took his Wizzy past the 150 mark, but Doc took the prize with a daily gain of a whopping +957. Costy joined the guild, but the author, unfortunately, was too busy trying not to die without a weapon, armor, or ring, and wasn't able to venture outside of godlands trains and thus does not possess a first-hand report of the newbie's performance. Guild Fame rankings would suggest he did pretty well, though.

I picked up the calendar at my LEGO Store today, and it does say that the $75 must be all-Star Wars items.

I think you've been playing mafia longer than I have.

...and welcome to the guild, Costy!

I'm not going to be on for at least another hour, but you can go try to find Hornblower on USSouth3 or EUNorth2. Otherwise, I'll see if I can find you when I get on.

QM Note:For reference, if you ever do want to do that, it'll take three Turns for Arthur to get into a position from which he and Luke could both spend a Turn to exchange items.

Neither. It's 'C-3PO'.You were closer than my non-SW fan relatives, though. They all like to say, 'CP-3O'.

QM Note:Healing Staves can only deal Damage to the Undead. Elves are humanoid, so using the Healing Staff to attack them would heal them. I can do that, if you want...

Another Super Pack that makes no sense. One BP from a completely different era, and an OT BP from Jedi with a Y-wing from Star Wars. I suppose the two OT sets sort of go together since there were Y-wings at the Battle of Endor, as long as you ignore Celebration Leia and the box art with Yavin, but the other set... it just seems like a cheap filler to make 3-in-1.

QM Note:I've been balancing all the enemies in the quest for Levels 5-10-ish to focus more on the overall defense instead of individual power. K-nut and posades just get to destroy everything they hit. All these good rolls aren't helping, either.

If you're in the Nexus, go into one of the grey portals at the far end to get into the realm.

Are you in the tutorial? It's got either chickens or a butcher as the quest. You're using WASD to move and not the arrows, right? You can change your controls using 'O' to bring up options.

As far as I know, no.

Congratulations, Rick!
