Will be getting a Wii soon, any advice?
I just checked, and yeah, it comes with a nunchuck. I didn't know that... Have to tell my dad that then, lol. I have SSBM, would like to have Path of Radiance (is that right) for GC, can't find it anywhere though.

The Lost Library RPG ( Entrance "Exam")
Hawk takes a look at the arrow embedded in his chest and figures that, while it can't be hurting him, as he's still alive, it would be best to remove it. He does so with a quick pull and applies pressure with his hand while he also chants a quick spell to heal the wound. He didn't like the look of the rocks, and the fact that they hurt you when you picked them up didn't help either. Hawk headed after Emmett into the room of light.

Are you sure? I thought it only came with one controller? Only wanted Radiant Dawn because it was from the same series as Marth and Roy who were in Super Smash Bros. which I have for GC.

Alanmark ~IS REALLY!! BACK UP!~
Just a note: I will be totally unreachable from July 6th to probably July 26th. I will be away at camp. I am not planning on having the RP start back up until after then. This topic will be open for bios and character creation until the 6th, then you will still be able to post your characters, but I will be unable to help you with them until the 26th. Without further ado, ALANMARK. This story takes place about twenty years after Hawks' disappearance. His nephew is now twenty-three years old. You notice a tall man (you guess maybe six feet), perhaps actually an elf, with blazing orange eyes coming toward you. He offers his hand, covered in many tiny scars and scratches, and says, "Hi. My name's Ares." You shake his hand and introduce yourself. "This is Alanmark, actually the city of Hrothgar, and I'm a dragon rider in the king's service. My great-grandpa was too." You take another look at him. He is wearing an ankh around his neck, but it's very small and you can't notice it unless you look for it. He is wearing bracers that seem to be made of dragon skin, and wears a dark orange tunic. "I suppose I should take you to the magistrate and he can sort you out," Ares says as you follow him to an office in the bustling city. The magistrate introduces himself as Sir Tyler, and hands you a piece of parchment to fill out. Name: Profession: Former Military Experience: Height: Weight: Eye Color: Age: Weapons Skills: Special Abilities: OOC: No god mode... You'll see. Keep control of other characters to a minimum. Follow the DM's directions at all times. Please use OOC to show Out of Character. (BIC doesn't really bug me, you don't need to use it unless you want to.) No excessive profanity or other inappropriate stuff. I am the Dungeon Master as well as Ares and various NPCs. We are playing a very loose 'simplified D&D' with ability scores and a simple skill set related to your profession, two skills in addition to Diplomacy, Hide, Move Silently, Search, and Listen. Each skill is automatically level 5, you have 28 skill points to spend and you gain 5 per level. Additional skill points will be given for racial choices (+1 bonus) and profession (+2 bonus). You have 28 ability points (all humanoids, non-humanoids we'll talk) to spend on each of your six abilities: Strength, Dexterity, Charisma, Wisdom, Constitution, and Intelligence. Each starts at ten and you may spend no more than 10 points on an individual ability. I will assign experience points based on a participation basis and you will level up... when you've gained enough experience. Please PM me your character info and we will choose the two additional skills based on your profession. Dice rolls are on honesty, we'll be using the d20 system: d20+DEX Mod=Ranged Attacks d20+STR Mod=Melee Attacks Damage will typically be d6 for ranged, d8 for melee. It depends on your weapon however, and that will be taken care of at the same time as the skill selection. d6+DEX Mod=Ranged Damage d8+STR Mod=Melee Damage Your armor is 10+DEX Mod+Armor Mod. Armor Mod once again depends on the type of armor you're wearing. CHARACTERS: [hide=Ares (hawkxs)]Name: Ares Profession: Dragon Rider Previous Military Experience: Senior Knight Physical Description: Age 23, 6', dark brown hair, really orange eyes, tapered ears. Slim, lithe body, wiry and strong, but very flexible. Weapons Skills: Trained in the two-sword style (1d12 damage, one attack), fights equally well with both hands.

what happens when you subscribe to a topic?
What exactly happens when you subscribe to a topic? Do you get e-mailed when a new post is posted or do you get a PM? I couldn't find this under the FAQ so if someone could help, that'd be nice. :thumbsup:

Will be getting a Wii soon, any advice?
Okay I've been told that my family will be buying a Wii (and a new TV) for Christmas... Yes I know that's like six months away. I was just wondering if anyone has advice on what accessories to get or games or whatever. My dad has decided we're getting the system and an addtional Wiimote, as well as two Nunchucks... We already have a GC and seven or eight games for it, as well as three controllers and three 1019 memory cards. Oh yeah, we're getting some form of a HD flat-screen LCD (no plasma for me), probably a 36 inch, nothing too big. Are there any other accessories we should plan on getting right away? As my birthday is in February, I was going to ask for LoZ Twilight Princess... And the cool sword/shield/knife set they have at the Nintendo shop. Does anyone have the set and anything they want to say about it? Or Twilight Princess? Oh and I wanted the Silicon Grip set for the Wiimote and Nunchuck in orange, as it is my favorite color. How well do the silicon grips hold up to not-so-great treatment? And finally, I was going to get a Wii Points Card and get Super Mario Bros. (500), Kirby's Adventure (500), and LoZ: A Link to the Past (800). Are these pretty good choices? I have them all on my computer in .nes and .smc format, I've played them before, even had SMB for NES... Then it got fried. List of Wii Games I hope to Get(Anyone have them, comments on them?) Super Smash Bros. Brawl Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock with Guitar! (Is GH 2 availble for Wii? I like it much better than GH 3.) Mario Kart Wii Mario Party 8 (only Wii game besides Wii Sports that comes with it that I've played) Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Your favorite book/book series
Series... Has to be either the Inheritance Trilogy (yeah not really a series), Twilight and its sequels (YOU NEED TO READ THEM!!) or the Lord of the Rings. My all-time favorite though would be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Favorite genre is FANTASY!! Also love Artemis Fowl, Alex Rider, Ranger's Apprentice, Sea of Trolls/Land of the Silver Apples, In the House of the Scorpion, the list goes on and on...

Scientists find bugs that eat waste and excrete petrol
pretty interesting, and it is cool if it's true... I won't believe it until oil prices go way down though.

The Lost Library RPG ( Entrance "Exam")
Name: Hawk Age: 27 Class: Ranger Richness: Middle Class Armor: Studded leather armor with boots and fingerless gloves, as well as a mottled green-grey cloak. Kind of like the rangers in Ranger's Apprentice. Weapon: A short sword and a long sword, both can be wielded at the same time.

Runescape Wall
I really like the new lighter version, it looks a lot like generic RS walls, only most of the ones I see are darker... You should try the shield shop in Falador, I think that'd be cool to do.

UPDATED Finally new/old forum style!
I needed the subsilver2 theme... Thank you to whoever got it up. I can't stand prosilver, and I'm not a big fan of the wood one.

A library index for authors does not cut it
Okay you're saying that an author should, in addition to having their works listed in the Writer's Index, should have a personal topic. What would they put in it though? You'd have to maunally copy all the stories either out of the forum topic they're in, or find them on your computer, then [hide] them, and when someone clicked on it, the page would go forever... But if it also acted sort of as a 'writing blog' (i.e. "I'm going to work on Chapter 7 tonight, so you guys can read it by Wednesday, definitely!" or "I just randomly wrote....... today.") Sorry, originally I though this was a really bad idea but it sounds good now that I thought about it... It might be easier if they added a subforum for it, but not many people write in the library.... In other news, I was planning on writing a story about video-game addiciton but I can't think of a good name. Actually that would be good for a writing blog. In the Authors Index they could add a link to your writing blog topic.

Forum is coming back but :(
Well, I'm happy it's back, kudos to the people who got it all running in only three days! Sad I lost like 200 posts, mostly important for Rusco and the Falador Library, hoping we can get that back up soon. Hate the new phpBB3... but mostly just the skin for now. Sorry for the big letters ---> I MISS THE FALADOR LIBRARY! Ooh... "At least one new post has been made to this topic. You may wish to review your post in light of this." That's pretty cool...

Welcome to the New Era

Suggest a Style: PHPBB3
Went through phbb33 styles database, ProSatin Gray (Demo) one I liked at all... and I didn't particularly like it. I would just like less white everywhere and instead a light grey, nothing too dark.
-
Because of the 2 month "back in time" thing...
there's a button in the upper left hand corner that says post reply, right above the first post of the page. It's also right below the last post in the lower left hand corner. I, too, so far do not like phpBB3... Really hoping for a better skin, I hate this one.
-
The Original TIF skin
Same here... Even though this is phpBB3 subsilver, it's not the same as the old one and it really bugs me. I figure this'll be fixed soon, some Tifer will have made a new skin that looks like the old subsilver.
