I think I'll keep my character a secret . . . oh what the hey.

I figured out a good build for this character at 13th level and couldn't pass up this perfect opportunity.

I'm bringing Lady Ilira Nathalan (a.k.a. the Fox-at-Twilight): moon elf (eladrin) trickster rogue (melee striker), hailing from . . . everywhere, really, but mostly the Dragon Coast.

Cheers

Not to hype it too much . . . but I'm pretty stoked.

It seems we have 2 strikers, a controller, a defender, and a leader, correct?
If that's the case, I'll add a half-elf paladin of Sune to the mix.
Man, am I excited there was still a slot open for this! :)

Sounds good, DM--a second defender is definitely a good way to go, and I'm a fan of paladins in general. Tactically, the more people we've got marking, the better!

Though the other week I played in a game which had one leader (shaman), one defender (warden), and FOUR strikers (avenger [me], sorcerer, rogue, ranger). Man, did we dish out the damage.

Cheers

When Erik asked me if he could play Twilight I was very pleased. Its going to be a cool session.

Now we need to pick a solid time. I don't want for us to have to scramble at Gen Con or else it may never happen.

Neat. It's just a shame that I'm not attending. I would've loved to have seen Twilight in action.

Just felt in a Twilight mood, and that was the closest I could find.

One day, Sage--one day. I still plan on DMing you at GenCon one day. Unless you for whatever reason decide to move to the states.

It's always a possibility. I've had to shift around a lot thanks to my work:- England, Singapore, and New Zealand. Maybe I can try to sway the Higher-Ups that its time for me to visit our US facilities.

Aye, but it gets worse in about two months, lol.

(I live about 225 miles south, so I know what it can get like!)

Ack! I seem to have too much blood in my coffee stream!

When did 'common sense' cease to be common?

Well, I'm pretty sure Sage has already heard me complain a couple of times about the weather around here.

And I'm a bit farther south, between Salem and Eugene, close to Albany. So it might actually be closer to 250 miles. *shrug* I've never actually been to Seattle, and I avoid Portland like the plague.

Oh yeah, I know where that is. Went to Willamette University in Salem.

Well, Seattle has a lot to recommend it--it's a good place to take a holiday. (Possibly on a week where I'm doing a signing . . .)

Not, of course, that this has ANYTHING to do with the GenCon game.

Cheers

Indeed.

Still, I like the rain and the general gloominess that comes with overcast/cloudy days. So I'd probably find a place for myself somewhere in Seattle.

I would move out there but my wife despises the rain and gets too affected by it.

Well, then she'd be affected 9 months out of the year. I agree with your reasoning.

See, everyone's under the false impression that Seattle gets *a lot* of rain. That isn't exactly true--the annual rainfall we get is about equal to other places, but instead of getting it all at once (like, say, in the space or a month, or in one particular season or two), we get it spread out pretty much year-round.

Cheers

Compared to Perth, Seattle gets a lot of rain!
