I fought Hrickis in A4 as a singleton archer. So... many... reloads... -------------------- Blah blah blah I can't hear you! Posts: 78 | Registered: Thursday, November 4 2004 08:00 |

quote:As… stimulating… as that sounds, I will probably never play such a singleton. For one thing, I still have yet to get past the playable demo portions of A4 (despite owning the full version for over a year now). Second, and more importantly, nothing about getting slaughtered in a game until I am forced to swear uncontrollably and punch walls sounds fun to me at all.

Meh. Filling out the forms is the easy part. Figuring out how much you should make, and withhold, over the course of the year so that you end up owing the Feds less than $30 is hard. After all, the refund check was just an interest free loan you gave to the government. Hah haaaaa... -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it." Argon - "I'm at a loss for words..."

As a CRPG survival story I can't beat the one I posted a while back in the G4 forum. It seems to be gone from there now, but it's preserved elsewhere for posterity. For pen and paper, I remember once running an intro game where I provided pregenerated characters. There was one too many, so the ranger was left over as an NPC, which the first player whose PC died could take over. So when one player's magic-user had cast his one spell and been reduced by some mishap from 4 hp to 1, leaving him fragile and unable to accomplish anything anyway, playing a 17 hp ranger looked pretty good to him. I forbade suicide, but he started banzai charging every possible trap or monster. I forget the details now, but with a series of amazing rolls, the berserker 1 hp magic-user somehow survived the game. The player was not happy. -------------------- Listen carefully because some of your options may have changed. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |
