yep that one; It reminds me of the Tin Man as well
which is why I got it gave it to my GM (aka my dad) and I'm having him read it and teach me and a small group of friends (basically whoever I can get to go with me and learn it)

brown-coats 4 life indeed <3

Never played WoW except in table-top form. I refused to get into is since I was in university and didn't want to get into the whole online gaming thing. I'll stick with my comp and consoles, thank you very much, but I'll admit that the odd time we played Baldur's Gate 2 muiltiplayer was great fun, but there were three of us and we were all in the same room with connected computers. That said, I'd still prefer to table-top game to anything electronic any day.

Well... I went downtown today to see how much our local used game store has changed... Its more of a hobby shop now. They sell table-top and trading card games, and they host 4e and Dark Heresy games. Its surprising how much has changed, but its really cool.

I even found a game called Zombies! It kinda reminds me of Left 4 Dead, but with more backstabbing. It looked really interesting, but I can't afford it, sadly. Ah well, there's always next time.

wow sanepsycho you play the same games i do ;D

Orly? We only game together, Exile! :DDD

Zombies!!! the board game? I have that one here, complete with an extra "bag-o-zombies" since we've found there weren't enough in the game. There are four of them now, I think, with some expansions. Fun games. :)

Not enough zombies? o_O Even though the game comes with 100 of 'em? Or maybe that was just the box I found...

And our group has broken another nerd barrier. We're gonna start recording our sessions. At least our Pathfinder ones. We start our game this Saturday, so I'm really excited for it. ^_^

Yeah, well, in a four player game you go through them pretty fast since players hang onto them once they are killed for the zombie count option of winning the game. By the end of the game the board was pretty much plugged and getting to the helicopter pad was a bit of wishful thinking for some players. We would throw zombies in front of each other all the time to slow each other down if certain people were running for the pad.

Ahh, I see. Hahaha! That's really awesome! I'm definitely gonna have to pic that one up. >:3

I started my firs time table-topping at all with Star Wars last week, but we've moved onto D&D.
The group I'm with is hilarious and so far, really fun. :>
this is my character
Half-elf ranger. >|3 Fufufufu.

Oooh, that's a cool character pic, Blaine.

If ya can't see the Ranger, you're in trouble. >:3

My original character is a human ranger. She tends to be the back-up everything. She's the one who heals the cleric when he goes down (our cleric is not the hide-in-the-back-ranks-and-heal-people type) and does the sneaky ambush stuff when the rogue is low on hit points.

My other character include a halfling cleric that I keep trying to get killed, a half-elf fire obsessed cleric, and an elf bard with the wisdom of a turnip. My online characters are/were a human cleric (extrmemely tough cleric), happy gnome druid, half-elf bard that gambles, cheats, lies, and changes his life story every 15 minutes or so. I like him. :D. Oh, forgot, in table top there was also the gold-elf dumb blonde barbarian and the tauren fire shaman, and online the equivalent of "Fabio the Barbarian." Blue eyes, blonde hair, shiny teeth that go *ping,* etc.

I've never liked rangers. (except in Icewind Dale where they double hp at first level for some strange reason. :D) They feel too spread out, excelling at nothing, and specialization is the name of the game in DnD. Favored Enemy is too niche, and too weak, to be a defining class feature.

...Suzerain may be a bit of a powergamer.

Anyway, while we're on the subject, the character I have in Quiet's online game is a bit complicated. He's an Aasimar cleric 6/paladin of justice 2, he worships pure lawful neutrality and is an atheist (sort of). He also has traded Turn Undead for additional Smite Chaos attempts, and uses Spontaneous Casting instead of prepared.

Favoured enemy I think was tougher in 3e than in 3.5. It seems the Ranger may have gotten powered down a little over the years. My Ranger was 2e to start with, 18/00 strength so yeah, superhero. I dropped it to 18 when we converted to 3e because humans can't have starting strength beyond 18 in the new rules (18/00 translates to 23) and I was a bit less of a powergamer than I used to be. My sorcerer/bard online (which I totally forgot about) had her highest stat at 16! Gasp! I would freak at something that "low" when I was 14 (agewise). ;)

I remember when I redid all the classes for my campaign setting to bring them all up to the power level I wanted, the Ranger got the biggest boost. I think I basically fused Ranger and Scout, upped the Favored Enemy bonus to 1/2 ranger level, and fleshed out their combat styles more.
