Verhadan, luck runs against you it seems... Mads II is but a shadow in a myth yet untold.

You could wait to see whether Rufus (and Co.) will try to restore him to life, or try your hand at another PC?

Another PC would be fine--I don't see Rufus & Co. having the $$$ to do such a thing. I'm interested to see how your new house rules play out on the table.

Very good!

I will roll you up some new numbers... may the force be with you.

My apologies for the unexpected absence everyone. Things got busy. I'll get caught up and back into the action.

Trying to sneak out of town? Ulric could always nonchalantly throw a fireball at the front gate. Or the Executioner's Axe?

Good People!

Hinterlands is almost 10,000 posts and three years old!

I've done a lot of thinking about the house rules in that time, and my perspective has evolved. Updating the rules is the best way for me to continue to enjoy running the game, so in short I'm going to try some new rules [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

Don't panic!

I expect your game play experience to continue pretty much as it is now; all that will change is the way I resolve some of the underlying mechanics.

I've posted a summary of the updated house rules http://odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi?ac ... e=1#106125here.

You don't absolutely need to bother yourself with the rules, but I posted them partly for your interest, and partly to make myself think it all through.

It may not be completely exhaustive, but it's a decent start. If you find anything missing or weird, please ask me http://odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi?ac ... e=1#106126in this thread.

But for now it's... onward!

Ways, I'll trust you to deal with the rules, and I'll just play Olaf...until his luck finally runs out. Then I'll just make up another character to play and let you keep dealing with the rules. [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

10,000 posts! And just as much fun as when it started!

FYI -- I have added some of the Hinterlands languages to the house rules section.

You don't need to do anything, but for those that are interested, you can update your PC's "known languages" [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

FYI also -- I've (belatedly) updated the PC sheet template to reflect the latest house rules.
