Yikes! Sorry to hear NG. I'm sure you'll land on your feet but it seems that 10% unemployment is right around the corner, even here in ummm.... a place near your secret base

.

Kinda sounded like you were thinking of ditching this company anyway if I remember correctly, hope you aren't completely bummed.

OOOO... Shiny new page

Sorry to hear it, Chris. Sounds like you've been unconciously preparing yourself for this for quite a while, now.

Thanks guys. As a lot of you know I've been thinking of leaving CO. I really liked the job (most of the time), but don't think I can take small biz life anymore...feel like I've been fighting a losing battle for the last couple of years. Change would be good, I just hope it's a small transition.

It seems that I have an appointment with my inbox.

Time enough to watch the show and then hit the rack. Good night, all.

Good night Thread, AE is one less day away.

Some days, I worry AE is like Xeno's tortoise, and we only close half the remaining distance at a time.

More like Schrodengers cat. Wanted dead & alive!

Indeed.

I have most of the old books in PDF version, and I just recently heard that Wizards of the Coast ( current rights holders ) have forced all retailers to stop selling PDF versions of all old and new books. All of the old books that I played from are long out of print, so PDFs or ebay were the only way to get them. I guess they are trying to force more people to move to the newer (watered down IMO) versions.

I checked to make sure all mine were securely saved on the home computer and got sucked in for a few hours.

Since you are a 1st Level Mage, your 1 Magic Missile hits the lead Swindon orc, and he saves, taking 1 HP. He takes out his bow and arrows, and the tips of the arrows drip with something nasty...

No save allowed vs. Magic Missle spell.

But only 1 missle at lvl 1, so it is likely that it will just make the Swindon orc mad.

Hmmm... depends on what manual you are reading... but, OK - no save - 2 hit points instead.
