Come one TDN…getting antsy here for the results of my (possibly foolhardy) choice in the game! Or are you too busy laughing and figuring out how to tell us that I killed the team? 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] Hmm, could’ve been worse. 🙂 [/QUOTE] Oh yeah. I went pretty easy on you guys. Let’s update some stats. Comliness should be called CML, not COM STA=Stamina WIL=Will END=Endurance – this is a measure of your overall physical and mental toughness. It’s sort of like hit points. Exceed it on a roll of xd6 (usually 3d6, but not always), and you could go into shock or even die. It is the average of STR, STA, and WIL. It is normally tested in the event of an injury. Injuries are cumulative, so try not to go into combat with a fractured arm, herniated disk, or nosebleed. **Santo Rugger** CML=9 STR=14 STA=13 DEX=12 AGL=7 EYE=11 (would be 13 if he had two eyes) EAR=10 VOI=9 INT=11 WIL=7 END=11 Sunsign - Tarael, the Pentacle Jumping/36, Fletching/39 **NAF1138** CML=13 STR=11 STA=9 DEX=13 AGL=13 EAR=11 VOI=16 INT=12 WIL=8 END=9 Jumping/48, Physician/20, Ritual (Larani)/72 Rituals: (None so far) **glee** CML=13 STR=15 STA=16 DEX=16 AGL=16 EAR=11 VOI=9 INT=13 WIL=15 END=15 Jumping/64 **Antinor** CML=17 STR=14 STA=14 DEX=14 AGL=9 EAR=14 VOI=12 SML=13 INT=15 WIL=12 END=13 Jumping/44, Survival/75, Foraging/28 ---

So can anybody give me advice on what I might should be trying to do to figure out who I am and how I can be useful to the team… I’m assuming we’re a team, right? ---

I just noticed this thread. I didnt realise anyone actually uses Harn! I love the maps Columbia Games makes. Good quality. Is your game all by email? Or is there an RPG sister-thread? ---

I’ve got a bit of reading to do myself. I’ve never heard of Harn, how the heck did\*\* NAF\*\* know that’s the style of game we were playing? And did **tdn** mention\* Out of the Darkness \*somewhere, or did NAF make that up? ---

I made up “Out of the Darkness.” Harn (and Columbia Games) was made up by others, though my name does appear on the credits of one product. ---
