Since our conversation was deleted, with good cause since it was off topic. I decided to post a new thread Sage, I would be delighted to join your PbEM. I sent you an e-mail early yesterday which I hope you recieved. If so post here so I don't worry my head off If not post here a better way for me to contact you. Many thanks my friend

I would pay to join The Sage's PbEM, although I hope it doesn't come to that.
Is The Sage planning on doing this, cause I know he is incredibly busy, and it would be taxing on his time to coach newbies. Perhaps we could start a Yahoo group or something to that effect and us new players could simply be included in the mailing list so we could just read up and learn through exposure?
Hmmm...people are actually willing to pay to join my PbEM...

Wood Elf, you should have received an 'update' email by now, along with an attachment, so you should know where you now stand in regard to the campaign.
MuadDib, I recall sending you some information about joining my game some time ago, just before I left to head east for a few days last year. If you require me to resend the information, just let me know, I'd love to have you join our game.
Ahh Sage if only I had more time. Perhaps however you will allow me to read how your game goes? I'd love to hear the story unfolding and see the players facing your challenges.
The joy to be DM. I had to bite my tounge last week when I almost tried to tell my DM what to do . Its been that long since I've DMed...

Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore- While i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. -The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
Don't worry, Elrond. Mumadar can attest to my efforts to make things make sense. I'm told it sounded like I was telling him what to do, and for that I'm sorry.

I got your first e-mail Sage! I did not get one with an attachment though? MaudDib, I am glad you are going to play to! At least I will somewhat know one person

I'll send you that attachment again Wood Elf, sorry...
Oh, and you'll be familiar with the Bookwyrm and Arivia, there included in the game as well...
Sigh still no e-mail with an attachment. I wonder why its not working. Perhaps send it to my other e-mail LeeDawg777@Yahoo.com that is the only other one I have if it still doesn't work perhaps you can send it to me over a messenger such as MSN or YIM?

Can you please tell me what YIM means? I'm a bit clueless here... Do you mean AIM?

By virtue of claw and fang, the lion will always triumph over the goat.Given time, the pounding of the sea will wear away the stone. And when dark elves mingle with the lighter races, the offspring invariably take after the dark parent. It is all much the same. That which is greater shall prevail. Our numbers increase steadily, both through birth and conquest. The dark elves are the dominant race, so ordained by the gods." Ka'Narlist of the Ilythiiri.
Ah, thank ye, Arivia. Ah, you're right. Such an abbreviation does sound bad...

That may be because I haven't re-sent the attachment yet Wood Elf...
I'm at work at the moment, and don't have access to my materials... Just give me some time...
Sage, I have checked my records, which at the moment consist largely of 3500 emails saying "If you wish to retrieve this damaged email, please purchase the full....blah blah" so when my .PST corrupted, it seems I lost your email :(
Would it be possible for you to resend the mail to:

Would really appreciate it, this is so cool :)
I'll see what I can do MuadDib. My new OS is still having problems recognising the legitimacy of an address such as you have just provided. I'm writing some new sub-routines this weekend to correct the problem, so it most likely won't arrive until at least Sunday.
There's no need to apologise Wood Elf, I'm just a very busy Sage...

Are you building a distro from just the kernel source or something, Sage? Linux, I mean...
Oh, and for the question in the email...I have no clue, actually. I dabble all over the place.
When I talk about creating a new OS, I'm actually talking about a completely new system, created with a new programming language of my own design. I've gone right to the roots of the core BIOS, using assembly language (which takes considerably longer to learn than most people say...) to build the basics of a new input/output system, then using my own PL to create the OS.
Afterall that, it's just a case of using sub-routines to smooth any rough edges, and add to the core OS.

*wonders how the Sage has any time for anything else*
It's not really as time consuming as it sounds. Most of the skills needed to undertake a project like this I learned while doing my courses through university. The design of my own PL, was part of a course-related project.
The only real-time involved in creating this, is the actual sitting-at-a-computer and incorporating the core-prog. That alone, has take me, over eight months.

That's what it's jokingly referred to around here Bookwyrm .
Incidentally, he's even asked the SAGE organisation based in Perth to take his operating system on, and perhaps market it as an alternative to some of the Australian-grown operating systems available in the country.

Elrond Half Elven, since you seem so interested in reading up on this soon-to-start campaign, I may have you visit the site I am designing. Maybe you can then look it over, and help me come up with some basic opinions (or suggestions) on the site's presentation, and user-friendly nature.
Would you be interested?.

That's actually what I was wondering.
Hmm, it seems our off-topic topic has gone off-topic. Who'da thunk it?

I will take that into consideration Wood Elf Ranger. As it is, there's very little content in the site at the moment. Once more data is uploaded, I'll need more than one person to review it.

No problem I know how time consuming it is to create a website. Let me know if you need any help. I don't know what your using but most programs are pretty similar I've mainly used Homestead though. But anyways if you need any pictures or need pictures edited or anything with graphics I'm pretty good at that stuff. Otherwise I would love to have a look at it when you've got it up

I can certainly help out with reviews. As Canyia can attest to, I'm often brutally honest.

Actually Bookwyrm, the Sage recommended that I list you first, as a potential reviewer for the website .
Wood Elf, as far as I know, I'm using a HTML encoding program of the Sage's own design. He wasn't satisfied with the current HTML products on the market, so he design a small one for his personal use. It's very easy actually, and in essence, there's very little to the core program anyway . . . .

That sounds much like the Sage that I am beginning to know I'm sure someday in the near future we will be buying some kind of computer based program designed by him. Who knows maybe even a whole new line of computers since he has his own OS and all

Hey Sage, I know you said we are starting with level one characters but are you going to make an ECL limit? I would like to play a weretiger which in the Monster Manual description has an ECL +3.
