ROIKOS: Cleric

As Joffrey turned Zephyr towards him, Roikos thought to reach out and heal the brave steed; alas, Joffrey was too quick on the dismount and 'horse-smack' sending the injured workhorse into safety.

Fantastic! Love it!

Thanks I'm still trying to learn the art of writing in character, and playing different personalities. Thanks for the kudos

Suddenly, shattering the Gamer Code to pieces, a small folded note slides under the OOCroom door. It reads: "Greetings and well-met! I am completely new to this forum and I'm wondering... is there only a couple play-by-post games going on here? Is it possible that I could hop in at some point in the near future?" Below the text are the words "Yes" and "No" in large letters, with another sentence in parenthesis beneath: "(circle one)". There are letters at the bottom in green ink - "BW - a signature of sorts? A quick peek outside to the Hall of Wandering reveals nothing - whoever delivered this cryptic message has vanished.

Hi BW. Welcome to the forums. Right now there are only four active games on this site. There are a bunch of games over at the Unseen Servant forums, however.

If this were a lower level adventure, I'd let you join in a heartbeat. This being a higher-level adventure, however, the addition of another character, also of high level, would significantly alter the strength of the party. It would be much easier to let you in on a lower level adventure, however, so ask around.

Hi BWS2K! Great to have you on the forums!

I've seen these forums ebb and flow with games, sometimes as little as four, and sometimes as many as 10 or more. Regardless, I've played on a few other sites and none have given me the feeling of family like Goblinoid. If this place isn't your cup of tea, you could try http://www.myth-weavers.com/ there are serious writers over there that take their RP'ing pretty seriously. There are all sorts of games over there (Pathfinder, AD&D3.5, AD&D4, etc.).

Myself, I like Goblinoid - some of the folks here have become my 'real life' friends (Facebook friends) even though I've yet to meet them in person.

OCC: No joke on the scanner front. Back in the day if you stayed with HP hardware you were safe. Now, it does not seem to matter who you buy from: they seem to almost push you into forced upgrades every couple of years.

Yeah, at work we use either el cheapo Canons since they're going to break anyway, or really high end and get warranties for them. Nothing in between seems worth it.

Happy Xmas!

Happy Xmas!

MERRY (belated) CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO!! I hope Santa was good to you.

Trip was awesome! Really good times with the family. My parents snowbird in Bozeman, MT during the winters (versus Cooke City, MT where they live in the summer. Google Cooke City, MT to see why Bozeman would be preferable in the winter .). So we stayed with them, my brother came out from Billings, MT where I was born. Were planning to go back this summer and stay in Cooke City, from there we can spend a ton of time in Yellowstone park and little guy can get his nature on!

Welcome back! Glad you had a fun and safe trip! I would love to tour Montana someday - rugged winters there, so maybe I would want to live there, too. How old is your little (nature lover) guy?

Welcome back, Joe. Sounds like a great trip. I have fond memories of visiting Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. My first thought was that it's great for you that they're only a couple states away. But that doesn't mean the same thing out west, does it?

Yeah, it does sound like a great trip. I've flown over the area over a dozen times, but never set foot there. One of these days...

[Spanningtree]

How old is your little (nature lover) guy?

He's 4 and 1/2. Full of energy and in everything. Have to watch out for bears/bison/moose while were up there in the summer. Some of the animals are not terribly afraid of people, especially small curious ones.

But that doesn't mean the same thing out west, does it?

Yeah, the states are bigger out here. To drive from LV, NV to southern MT is a 2-3 days affair depending on how much you sight see on the way.

One of these days...

Yellowstone is truly worth planning an entire vacation around. Quite a bit to see and do, best to drive through yourself instead of a tour group. The first time my wife was there her jaw was on the floor. We barely made it through the north entrance and we were seeing big horn sheep, bison and elk. Big herds of the bison and elk. She asked: "Where are the fences?" to which I responded: "There are none. It's a massive refuge.". She had it in her mind it was some kind of zoo.
