Scubacarrot

Cool parties for both quests.

Heroica has, just under a year ago, became one of my (favorite) timesinks. I think the charm it has on me is the result of two things: The fact that unlike traditional RPG's, story is told through Lego, so it's a combination of two of my favorite things! The other thing is that the story is made by everyone participating! In theory everyone can host a quest and so tell his or her own story in the Heroica world, and as long as it's not conflicting with anything or super crazy, virtually anything you say in character could be canon! I like thinking up stories, but I've never been much good in sharing them, I lack the literary skills to write, the will to join a RPG group, and who tells stories (in person) anymore in this day and age? Guts Holla has become a way for me to tell a story how I like my fantasy: Grey, Dark, Rough and Detailed. And I hope that's what I will have succeeded in when his story is told. I have had his whole story, including timeline and everything, locations he has been to and people he has met in his life thought up since the day after he stepped into Heroica Hall. Of course there have been minor changes, but not very much. I very much enjoy sharing it a little bit at a time. I think I've revealed under 10% of what I have, so there is a LOT I want to tell, still. Another major boost to my addiction to Heroica (I think it can be called that, I try to check this forum every day ) was when I started hosting a quest. Hosting Quest 23 was a ton of fun! I had a team of awesome players and the reception I got was much above expectations. Along with upcoming Quest 40 it is one story, which, like the story of Guts, was thought up in the matter of days. I am very much looking forward to telling the story of the missing guards, and the Keystone. In my head though, there are a lot more stories to tell... Along with sharing my own stories, Heroica is an excellent medium to enjoy the stories of others, and the best part is that everything fits together in one way or the other. It's one world. I love that in storytelling. So here is to one year of Heroica fun (a slight bit less for me, hehe), and on to the next year. I am very much looking forward to see how Eubric is doing same time 2013.

Well, because he was an Imp, I've always viewed Hybros as a demon, even if he does not know it himself. If you want to make him something else entirely, I have to ask why pick the name Imp for his race... Damn it JimB, making it confusing!

Aren't Imps like... minor demons...?

It's a Jawa. What is your problem, I don't see it.

For the Zoot weapons it does not matter, since those were actually bound to the hero, and not to the class, and in the past it was decided that shortswords ARE classified as longswords. For weapons that don't NEED a clear limitation because there is no point, like the pointy stick (pun not intended), I say everyone, including expert classes can use them

Congratulations to the people that won something. And very cool for the prize for the polybags was added!!

A to some of the heroes familiar guardsman runs into the hall, sweating and puffing. He walks straight to the Questboard and sees the current sign ups for Quest 40: The Strivvian Job. Lord Lawrence T. Boomingham (Zepher) Sylph Solanum (Dannylonglegs) Nagure (Costy) Dak Shadeaux (Darth Nihilus) Dreyrugr (Vash the Stampede) Johon (Bricksandparts) Durkon (RPGer) Alexander Vandangant (Wedge09) Ellaria Arbour (Sandy) Mizuki (zakura) Monk Pretzel (palathadric) As quickly as he came, the guard runs out of the hall again. Please tell me if I missed anyone.

It was fun to read, the players kept it moving along nicely and did great. I did not expect it to be QUITE as short as this, but yeah, it's good. More of this for level 1 players.

That's.... Short. .

That's half the joke now, is it?

That's fine, he is like the younger child that no one cares about anyway.

No.

Guts fills the glass dagger with his Grand Potion.

I also have no problem with the delay.

That's awesome, unplanned consistancy!

I think I should have the Nostrum, even though attacks would not have mattered, it's only fair I get it, I think? Riiiight? Since it's still a round? Please? I should have full health anyway, due to Natural Respite. "Very nicely done. Your shield is invaluable, Docken. And your skill with the scythe is remarkable, as I noticed already in the quarry, little man. I hope I will soon have an oppertunity to utilize my own skills. Docken, take the Quiver and Saber, please. While I fear the blade is useless, it will take a literal fortune to bring it up to par, I will take the Hollow Dagger. Hybros, you are next on the list for something useful, alright?"

Nah, it's a joke:

Staff of the Frog Paladin, it's obviously the staff Atramor touched in a certain basement.

That's a very good reason NOT to allow it.

It's big and shiny just how I like them... tags, I mean! Very cool

"Grm, keep attacking, Hybros, just use your scythe." Guts spends health to retrieve a nostrum. Same battle order.
