LotR Festival

LotR! 2
Whoa! Looks like I got the LotR trilogy - all three extended editions - for Christmas.

A thought occurs to me.

Here it is: I did the math, and all together the running time of all three extended editions comes to approximately 724 minutes, or 12.066666666666666 hours. What if we were to get together for an over-night geek festival, where we watch all three LotR movies back-to-back-to-back? I've got a big screen TV that's begging to be used, and my dad got a wicked set of Klipsch 5.1 surround sound speakers that just need to be set up.

So, how about it? School starts up again for me on the 6th, so sometime before that would be ideal. In fact, we could even combine it with a New Year's party if possible.

Thus far my parents have given me the all-clear.

Comment, you fools, comment!

Edit: The speakers have been set up, they just have to be positioned.

Edit: Oh, and Merry Christmas! Or Hanukkah! Or Kwanzaa! Or Festivus! Or whatever.

I have a human combat oriented rogue ready to go.

 
At 5:50 PM, Blogger Quiggy said...

Now all we need is for Evan to make a regular NON-KENDER character. PHB races.

 
At 9:06 PM, Blogger Neon said...

I'll make a new character, but just so you know, Kenders have no level adjustment

Problems with RoD

This is not schedule related, this is actually in-game problems. Ben, as you all know, is a half-dragon with a +3 level adjustment. Evan is a kender, probably with a +1 adjustment, simply because he annoys the shit out of all monsters. Now, obviously, Doug and Gus want characters with level adjustments. I understand this desire. I also understand that this could potentially kill the campaign, similar to how my old magic item policy worked. So now we have three options:

  1. Kill the kender and half-dragon, and have everybody have +0 level adjustments.
  2. Allow characters of up to +3 (or so) level adjustments (this is what you guys want most, and I want least)
  3. Keep it the way it is.

Duke it out in the comments area, I'll try to make a decision somewhere around the 27th or so.

It'll be fine if everyone stays within a +3 level adjustment because it'll all be in proportion. You'll just need to put us up against tougher stuff.

Just to clarify: NOT D&D TOMORROW (12/23). D&D a week from the 23rd. Aight.

i agree with teh tractor, me and dougward should get to be races with higher ecl's.

How would you guys react if instead of playing powerful characters you got powerful magic items? Just a thought.

 
At 3:51 PM, Blogger Dougie said...

Characters, dammit. I want my githzerai!

 
At 4:43 PM, Blogger The_Tractor said...

Actaully, I'm kind of tired of not being challenged. It's just not any fun. I'd like to start over with new and regular characters. I know that Gus' cleric is technicly regular, but he has more money and better items than characters that are just starting, even if they are level five. I say we make new characters, but Gus has to buy new items with the standard 9000 gold.

That sounds perfectly fair to me. It's actually hard for me because of this situation. ECL is actually not well done. If you have lower class levels, then you have low HP. However, you deal large amounts of damage thanks to full attacks and the like. Thus, you kill everything that wears you down at the right speed outright. Everything that isn't really easy kills you. That's why I'm so against your ideas.
