I called him yesterday after posting on here and he said he won’t be able to join us reliably. What is that, the 4th person who said yes then backed out? Oh well, what’s the plan now?
After talking with the riders, they think I will be done with most rides by 11am. That means, as long as they are not too far away, I should be able to make the games on time. Maybe here and there we can push it back to 1 if that’s ok. Also, there is a short, medium, and long route on every ride. I’ll do the short ones on days we have games. The 26th ride is in Katy Mills so I can leave straight from there to the game.
My brother-in-law Austin said he can make the Saturday games and he is a reliable guy. I’ll be out of town this weekend so I can’t introduce the two of you myself. When do you want to meet him to discuss character, etc?
I’ll ask the other riders how long they last since they only post the start times. Most are in the Houston area so hopefully I can go to them then head right over to your place.
Wow I did not realized how many you would miss. The question is what time can you make it to the games on Saturday? Sundays is not currently an option.
I added all my Ready2Roll Cycling Training rides to the calendar. As you can see, it is almost every Saturday from 1/26 thru April. The rides are all early morning so I can game later in some cases or play on Sunday. I can also probably skip a couple if needed but I’d rather work around them as I had to pre-pay for them all. Let me know what you think.
I’m curious to find out how Ray leaves. My guess is he runs inside the temple to hextor and just challenges them all at once, never realizing how crazy that tactic really is…
As for Ash, hmm, spontaneous human combustion? Maybe he just fell asleep in an armchair with a cigarette in his mouth.
At this point, the party only has one fighter and 1/2 a cleric. I am concerned about going forward w/o filling both those holes. I do have 1 new player lined up, but not sure what class he is going to be. FYI Debbie the new player is Shawn.
So I’ve filled in the rest of the portraits for NPC’s as best I could. MF is an exception since he’s too unique to find something for him. If anyone has any ideas feel free to put them in
As for Smith’s hazing ritual, I came up with an idea that might work.
I believe that Ash should accompany the party members to different places, each picked by a different player. That player will run Ash through a “hazing” while the rest of the party watches on to allow everyone to interact. After that person is done, we can move onto the next person and so forth.
Sure. My fault, I apologize for messing up everyone’s schedule. I can make Sept 1st 100%. Cant’ do 15th, but if I won’t be missing much, I can probably just communicate via email with some plans for in game. I could pull off the 25th, though I’d have to leave at 5:45p. Honestly, if Ash won’t be missing a whole lot, except maybe making some new “friends” in prison, might be simpler to leave the schedule you planned Mark, and I’ll just miss the 15th. Unless everyone jumps at the idea of a game on the 25th, I’ll go with the simplest plan as the safest.
The next couple a sessions will be dealing with the ramifications of recent events, and giving characters time to train and take care of any personal issues. Several members must train full time with mentors to gain a PrC, others may just want to spend the next 3 weeks in game terms training for 6th level. So the plan is to allow for all this before introducing the next major story plot.
The very next session will be with the main group role-playing through the interigation and will not involve Ash for several hours of game time since he seperated from the rest. We could play on the 25th, to do this if the group wants to. However this will speed up the pace of the introduction of the next story line.
Julie and I want to avoid playing on Sept. 8th and and 22nd in order to avoid a possible last minute need to cancel, due to babysitting duties (like last month).
So to sum it up as planed now, Ash would not be missing any major adventuring on Sept. 15th, just some various events around the city and information about such.
I am willing to run a shortened session on the 25th of this month if that is what the group wants. I originally cancelled this session because Ash stated he could not play. Let me know.
So here’s the conundrum: I really hate missing the adventuring parts coming up around Sept. 15th. Is there any way to shift around, either days or perhaps delay the several weeks off in game we’ll be taking until the 15th? I can probably trade a half-shift to get a Saturday off if I was supposed to work. The 15th is the only time that’s impossible. My station is getting sent to Colorado to dedicate a memorial. Not sure if anyone remembers, but that Houston firefighter that died on a fire call months back was actually the captain I work for at my station for several years.
Sept. 14-16 are the days I can’t possible make it. If it’s inconvenient, no worries, just a game session. Is there any hang-ups for doing Sept. 1, then Sept 8th or 9th? Or 22nd or 23rd?
Thanks,
Brian
I started on the Wiki page. If you like the way it looks so far, I’ll keep going with it.
Troy, if you want to help, you can start adding locations from the Better Know a Tavern forum. I’ll continue on the feats if Mark thinks it looks good.
I don’t recall you having 2 of the bricks they are not exactly small, I know you turned most of them over to the authorities. Regardless, you have to find time to get it to him or beat the low tide so you can find the caves.
I want to drop off one of those bricks we found to Tarmon, the head of the wizards guild I met at the party. Not sure how long it’ll take him to exam or how long we’ll be down grabbing that idol, so better to have him start looking at it now. Not sure why we didn’t do this earlier, but I’ll chalk that up to a “Should have had a V8 and not whiskey” thing
Matt, you mentioned you could help set up the wiki page. I think that would be a better place to put in various estabilshments so they can more eaisly be refered to. I have no idea how to use that page.
You could make a forum called “Better Know a Tavern” and dedicate it to interesting Freeport locations. Just once a week, write a little something about a location we have or may visit.
The woman looks a bit “larger” than Frank, which is what I was going for, but still having a longsword with blonde hair and having a roguish/sexy look to her. Not sure if the armor will quite fit.
I typically search deviant art and google images, while going to a few random places to find something that I believe fits well. I’m pretty finicky on pictures.
So wait…you wanted to have a reminder of something important…and you put it on your back? You are never going to see it Jin. You know, the other day I saw this rich lady in The Old City and she had a mirror. I could find one of those for you then you can see your reminder.
Don’t be gettin all big eyed on me Osbourne it don’t mean any sinister like or whatnot just a little ole sayin dat reminding me a bit of what it all means in da end and the like
Yes we are RASH but do we have to advitise the fact? LOL

I am so sad that Troy left the game.
Just hope you are feeling better. I have texted and emailed you the #. Not sure I want to post it here.
Sorry I missed this past session. I was puking my brains out. Mark, can you send me your phone number? I had it on my personal phone but it broke.
I’m not going to make it today. Sick as a dog, was hoping I’d get better by now.
Ya, looking at it further, they look like PDFs
wait…i think they are pdf’s
Those prices are awesome….glad I lurk here
Those are some great prices on some hard to find books. I am curious if they actually have them in stock at those prices.
Mark, I know you have just about every printed 3e book, but just wanted to show you this website if you weren’t aware of it
http://www.dndclassics.com/index.php?filters=0_0_44702
Crash Team Headquarters has been “marked” on the map.
Mark, when you pick exactly where our HQ is, you should make a place marker in the Maps tab.
Good enough thanks.
Do you think the picture of Asha I found fits her?
Why, it’s just another cliffhanger anyway.
Update the adventure log already!
Alright already, I was just kidding.
I read “loot” under items and “Finn” article.
Today I looked at some forums and I read the Beggar King page.
It’s actually one person with two heads and I’LL THANK YOU NOT TO STARE!
I have 2 new players coming to the game this weekend.
I called him yesterday after posting on here and he said he won’t be able to join us reliably. What is that, the 4th person who said yes then backed out? Oh well, what’s the plan now?
We need to get together at my place asap. Anytime is good but this Sunday 20th. Give him my contact info.
After talking with the riders, they think I will be done with most rides by 11am. That means, as long as they are not too far away, I should be able to make the games on time. Maybe here and there we can push it back to 1 if that’s ok. Also, there is a short, medium, and long route on every ride. I’ll do the short ones on days we have games.

My brother-in-law Austin said he can make the Saturday games and he is a reliable guy. I’ll be out of town this weekend so I can’t introduce the two of you myself. When do you want to meet him to discuss character, etc?
We need to know asap. What is the status of your brother-in-law? Did you get my emails?
I’ll ask the other riders how long they last since they only post the start times. Most are in the Houston area so hopefully I can go to them then head right over to your place.
Wow I did not realized how many you would miss. The question is what time can you make it to the games on Saturday? Sundays is not currently an option.

Let me know what you think.
so you think we think?
I’ll cogito ergo sum my existence on it
ahhhhhhhhhh
If Ash wakes up though, we all cease to exist!
Yea, I agree with Troy about Ray. Ash, however, could just wake up. After all, we are his dream. I am sorry to hear about Shawn.
Debbie – Shawn backed out after 1st saying yes, so we still need a player.
Troy – I usually let retired PC’s sail off in the sunset (after making their house payments)
I’m curious to find out how Ray leaves. My guess is he runs inside the temple to hextor and just challenges them all at once, never realizing how crazy that tactic really is…
As for Ash, hmm, spontaneous human combustion? Maybe he just fell asleep in an armchair with a cigarette in his mouth.
Do we get to split up Ray and Ash’s money?
I am excited about Shawn joining the game and glad that we are going to try to keep it going.
Can the new player roll a cleric or fighter then you play a character yourself?
Then I guess we keep going until we are all dead lol
That would take months to get going. And more work for me.
New campaign to make a more balanced party?
At this point, the party only has one fighter and 1/2 a cleric. I am concerned about going forward w/o filling both those holes. I do have 1 new player lined up, but not sure what class he is going to be. FYI Debbie the new player is Shawn.
So I’ve filled in the rest of the portraits for NPC’s as best I could. MF is an exception since he’s too unique to find something for him. If anyone has any ideas feel free to put them in
Uh, we have a smaller group?
Burn Them!
Correction, both Ray and Ash are leaving the game, any ideas?
Harry has resigned from the game. I am open for suggestions or options. Please leave some feedback on how you would like to handle this.
You treat yourself to D&D related gifts
How am I supposed to have a Merry Christmas with no D&D this weekend?!?!
D&D Comic
I’m excited about this next gaming session. Can’t wait to get interrogated.
The feats look good Matt. I guess we are done unless anyone has some ideas of something else we can add to the wiki pages?
I really like the tags you added to the wikis. It makes finding the gambling joints a breeze.
I’m with Matt. A 2 hour sermon is more than torture enough! Poor Ash!
Yes please keep the hazing discusion on the forum (afterall we are paying for them). Can you guys repost your ideas there so they don’t get lost.
Lets try to keep that in the Tavern Banter forum since that’s where the post started from
I think that’s a great idea. I just imagine your hazing ritual is a 2 hour Heironeous sermon lol.
As for Smith’s hazing ritual, I came up with an idea that might work.
I believe that Ash should accompany the party members to different places, each picked by a different player. That player will run Ash through a “hazing” while the rest of the party watches on to allow everyone to interact. After that person is done, we can move onto the next person and so forth.
I can make the 25th as well, I just need confirmation if we’re playing.
As always with the schedule, I’m open to whatever.
Sure. My fault, I apologize for messing up everyone’s schedule. I can make Sept 1st 100%. Cant’ do 15th, but if I won’t be missing much, I can probably just communicate via email with some plans for in game. I could pull off the 25th, though I’d have to leave at 5:45p.

Sorry I haven’t been updating the wiki feats guys, I’ve been working 12 hr days and weekends. :P
Smith will get there eventually, he eats enough chipotle Tabasco sauce.
That’s a photo after I eat super hot buffalo wings
Holy Hell Ash I just looked at your character picture. I want whatever you’re on
Let’s just have one place for Taverns/Inns. And another for all othe businesses.
Looks great, I hope you are able to copy paste all that stuff
I started on the Wiki page. If you like the way it looks so far, I’ll keep going with it.
Troy, if you want to help, you can start adding locations from the Better Know a Tavern forum. I’ll continue on the feats if Mark thinks it looks good.
It would be nice to have some things centrally located.
House rules
Freeport Feats
Insanity rules – this may have copywrite issues
Taverns
Buisness’
If you want help, just let me know. I was going to work on it tonight, but if you’ve got an idea for it I’ll let you take care of it.
The next day I have that I don’t work overtime, I’ll add feats and places of interest to the wiki.
I’ll have to check with the group, but my understanding was that we had more than one
I don’t recall you having 2 of the bricks they are not exactly small, I know you turned most of them over to the authorities. Regardless, you have to find time to get it to him or beat the low tide so you can find the caves.
Scratch that, I want to give him two. If we’re wanting to know if their aura’s play off each-other they’ll most likely need more than one
I want to drop off one of those bricks we found to Tarmon, the head of the wizards guild I met at the party. Not sure how long it’ll take him to exam or how long we’ll be down grabbing that idol, so better to have him start looking at it now. Not sure why we didn’t do this earlier, but I’ll chalk that up to a “Should have had a V8 and not whiskey” thing
Rhino for a mount. That’s perfect.
Matt, you mentioned you could help set up the wiki page. I think that would be a better place to put in various estabilshments so they can more eaisly be refered to. I have no idea how to use that page.
Hmm, I like that idea, although we did get a run through of the places area.
You could make a forum called “Better Know a Tavern” and dedicate it to interesting Freeport locations. Just once a week, write a little something about a location we have or may visit.
Unfornunatly no there is not, that is one reason I keep taking to time to tell you guys about the city.
Is there a Player’s Guide to Freeport I can buy? I want to read some more lore but I don’t want to read any spoilers.
Actually Matt sent that to me,I just uploaded it.
I love the picture of Frank. Thanks!!!!!
Let’s open a thread in the forum about the pics, so its all in 1 place
E-mail me if you want me to find any other pictures.
For Julie:
Her Rogue
The woman looks a bit “larger” than Frank, which is what I was going for, but still having a longsword with blonde hair and having a roguish/sexy look to her. Not sure if the armor will quite fit.
I typically search deviant art and google images, while going to a few random places to find something that I believe fits well. I’m pretty finicky on pictures.
Trastana or Frank concepts (don’t both look pretty much the same?):
blonde with psionics
with a crossbow
great but brown hair
Brown hair but this can be fixed
too much skin?
long blonde
brown hair
Really seems like Frank but brown hair…
blonde pirate
pirate with a little psionics?
Looks perfect, I uploaded it. Now can you find one for Trista. Where do you find these?
Perhaps a picture that fits Debbie’s Frank?

Harry and I find them here http://www.deviantart.com/
Where do you guys find/get the pics for your character, I would like to do some for the npc’s.
Now that’s kinda of ya, but then it would be backwards, na I tink I can manage it on my own
So wait…you wanted to have a reminder of something important…and you put it on your back? You are never going to see it Jin. You know, the other day I saw this rich lady in The Old City and she had a mirror. I could find one of those for you then you can see your reminder.
