Re: RpNation.  Well...  I can firmly say that I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.  =)  *Incoming hyperactivity-fueled rant!  Take cover!  Wooooo!  8D*


Years ago, it was Killfire who got me back in touch with Sherwood again and it is only through RpNation that I get to either RP with them (Sherwood) or look back on the posts where we did RP, word-for-word (Killfire).  There are some real stars (if you don't mind my using the British compliment) here too like Wolf.  Cap'n.  DWiz.  Grey.  Beowulf.  Psychie.  JayTee.  HellRazorOmega.  I'm sure there are a few folks I'm missing here, but it's the people that keep these fingers of mine typing along here.  Not the software.


Now, this is also because I have also helped to create an atmosphere where I am quite comfortable.  Sharseya and Robotech: Broadsword are fantastically fun places for me to be and they're invite-only for great reason.  Now that I'm able to keep those places player-only along with this RpN Night Life (goodbye sunglasses on RpN!), I'm really in a place where I can interact with folks at my choosing.  Also, Sherwood's Tales of the RDF and Wolf's Amaranth are big houses filled with fun, good times.  


There are a ton of players out there and I can interact with them when I feel like doing so.  I don't have to worry so much about folks coming in to either game unless I want them here.  In Real Life, I'm a pretty private person, saving my love and energy especially for those souls whom I dearly enjoy spending it with.  I don't keep a tremendous amount of acquaintances, but instead a steel-strong circle of years-old friendships and I'm blessed to have them.  I feel similarly with my Internet-based relationships here with you.  


Robotech: Broadsword has also given me a new and crazy-cool springboard for this overactive imagination of mine.  Talk about fun!  And we haven't even started the main game yet!  Being hyperkinetic is its own challenge, but if properly focused, I can do things I really enjoy.  Of all the decades I've put into tabletop games, hundreds of tabletop sessions, I don't have a single one of those interactions written word-for-word, letter-for-letter, as I do here in RpNation.  Here, I do go back through our old posts and enjoy them all over again (Kaerri and I were talking about good times in Amaranth just tonight and it was great!).  The knowing that I can go right back to those words and enjoy them all over again - it's priceless to me.  


As time passes, all of us will be older.  It is the way of things.  We'll be changed people in some ways.  We'll have grown, blossomed, learned things we didn't know before.  Maybe that will change us in ways we don't expect.  But these years, I cannot take them for granted, not after what I've experienced and survived.  I mean to enjoy the rest of my life, just being alive.  For as long as I am.  And so...  I try to appreciate all of RpNation.  The strangers, the newness, even the things I don't like (Kaerri can tell you, I get frustrated with the glitches, and I'm blessed because she helps me with that).  I really care.  I really imagine.  The desire to keep those care-born imaginative dreams and not lose them to time is...  again, priceless.


And RpNation is the only place I have that.


I honestly don't trust any other website with these characters of mine, these stories, etc..  It is not easy for me to start over anywhere else if it came to that.  I hope it doesn't because I might not be able to.  


God knows how long we'll have RpNation.  What if, heaven forbid, something happened to DWiz and Ghan?  What would happen to RpNation if no one else stepped up?  What about all the dreams we dream together here?  I tell you right now I'd be one copy/pasting page-keeping crazy man for awhile!  =)


So...  I just had to share that with everyone here.  It's important and special and so are you.  =)
 
Heya folks!  I have good news!  


I see the light at the end of the tunnel!  It appears I am soon going back to 5 days/week in Real Life, instead of the 6 days /week I've been working for months, and I am looking forward to it!  That means more sleep, more time to do things that aren't work, and moar RP Nation!  Moooar!  This makes me smile.  =)  


Hope you are having a good day out there, too!  =)
 
With Wolf leaving, it is almost enough to have Luna follow along with him, but I am enjoying playing her too much to have to switch to another character.
 
Mmm, Luna...

Anyway, just to let you all know that I finally got around to fixing Wolf's character sheet. It definitely lacks the splendor it once had, but it should be highly readable now *woof*


I'm working on an HTML masterpiece for Nivirea's sheet, though! This is incredibly more difficult and complex than BB Codes, which I will probably never get over losing, but at least I can unleash the full power of web coding with HTML.
 
I really liked your post, Wolf.  Good going on your character sheet too.  It looks good!  =)
 
@Captain Hesperus Cap'n, I just have to say - I always enjoy your posts (even in games that are not mine), but there are times I genuinely love them.  Otiorin's farewell to Leonard is such a post.  Now that is a farewell from an Elven-blooded friend!  Oh!  =)
 
Sorry, I just HAVE to share this. A lament, sung by Luna, perhaps?








Turn the volume up and close your eyes.


Captain Hesperus
 
This singer ("Eurielle") and singing style reminds me a great deal like the lady who sings the Guild Wars 2 theme, "Fear Not This Night."  Very beautiful, touching, emotionally full; it's the kind of music that carries the listener to faraway places.  Yet, my ear tells me they're not the same singer.  *looks it up*  Ah!  Asja Kadric sang "Fear Not This Night."  =)

("Fear Not This Night" on the Guild Wars 2 soundtrack by Jeremy Soule)






This song, "Carry Me," is incredibly fitting both for our scene and its mood.  Thanks a bunch for sharing this, Cap'n!  It really took my mind off work and put it where it should be - daydreaming!  Ha ha ha!  =)
 
I just want to make sure: before we add the bonuses for our next level, we have to find someone to train us up, right? 
 
Sherwood, you ask this just about (if not) every time the Wayfaring Wanderers qualify for a new level of experience - the answer has not changed in two and a half years, sir.

But then the old caveat applies, "If you don't ask, you won't know."

New character sheet posted! I hope all that HTML displays as well to you guys as it does to me. It was quite tricky to pull off, but such is the price of neatness... *woof*

Well, then it looks like I need to take it a step further:


- Everyone.  Characters will require trainers to rise to the next level of experience for as long as this game is played.  


- Wolf.  Nivirea's character sheet looks really good!  Love the colors!  I spotted only four things possibly worth mentioning:


1. Under Laughing Touch, there appears to be a typo: "This is  amind-affecting effect." (bold mine)


2. Under Backpack/Weapons.  The Kunai is a Kunai +2 with Light on Command.


3. Under Skills & Features, I see this:

(Note the line on the right of the box going down through "Other Bonuses"

4. And this is what the Spells tab looks like:

('Nuff said.)

I don't know if you can do anything about those last two; just thought you should see them for yourself.

I don't know enough about the Sorceress character class to know if I can teach her spells from my list and vice versa.  Is it possible to do so?
 
Sorceress = Sorcerer, but isn't Luna a wizard?  Wizard =/= sorcerer.


The spells tab thing is due to a set width somewhere in the coding for that tab.  Apparently that can happen with copy/pasted material (it copies the width of wherever it's from).
 
@Captain Hesperus Sherwood is referring to the Sorcerer class (there is no "Sorceress" class though seeing as Nivirea is female, it's easy to see how a mistake can be made).  


@Sherwood No.  Sorcerers have a natural ability to cast spells unlike Wizards like Luna who require spellbooks.  Sorcerers cannot gain spells through the use of scrolls or spellbooks.  They only gain spells through level gain and their Bloodline ability.  


Wizards, on the other hand, can add spells to their spellbooks in one of three ways:  


1. Gain a level.


2. Scribe a scroll into the spellbook (this destroys the scroll in the process).


3. Independent research (see Pathfinder Core Book).


Now, if either of you have spells on scroll, perhaps you can barter them (Nivirea to cast them as necessary; Luna to possibly scribe them into her spellbook for future use).  
 
Ah, I derped. I though Sorceress was some sort of hinky gender-specific subclass with special powers and abilities. Should be cool having another spontaneous magic user in the party. Poor Luna, sat there poring over her spell book and here's Oti and Nivi popping off spells at whim...


Captain Hesperus
 
I fixed the minor flaws *woof*


Kaerri pretty much nailed the glitches in the screenshots. My native resolution is 1920x1200 so it takes quite a lot to stretch the screen for me. Those tabs shouldn't even be in two rows unless you are using a really small screen. Are you and Kaerri on laptops? I had to downscale a lot before I was able to see an identical image.


I handcrafted the table on my own, and the fixed width in places was part of making sure the spacings were enough apart - I didn't anticipate they would break out of any normal-sized screens. My apologies. I'll try to make some adjustments.


p.s. the "Sorceress" under class was deliberate, because... you know, she's a girl... Artist's liberty. I didn't think it would confuse anyone (not this much anyway lol
 
Desktop, but I run 1280x1024.  (Sometimes I'm on a tablet, too, which is a much smaller screen!)  If you click the preview button, it should give you some options to see what it looks like on different screen sizes.


Can you try using a percentage width instead of a fixed width?  Bearing in mind that I know next to nothing of coding, that's the solution I've been given for other screen-breaking things.
 
Ah, yes. That is actually just small enough to make this visible. It's all my fault, of course. A good coder makes sure that the code displays well on different resolutions and not just his own :P  It's just been years since I stopped fiddling with web design, so I got lazy sloppy.


And you're right again. Percentages are how it's usually done. When you're not lazy... :D  I'll fix it soon.


Not that mine is the most problematic character sheet to read, right Captain? *rawrrr*
