NOVA DAWN

Res has been busy, I see.

@Dark Wind

I like to imagine that there are a lot of guidelines rules, ranging from the very specific ("Kitchen Rule #409: The deep frier is not to be venerated or otherwise treated as an object worthy of devotion, even after being used to deep fry religious artefacts.") to the broad ("Kitchen Rule #6: No. Stop it.").

Perhaps Res could arm himself with portable micro-sized gas stoves that he can equip onto his legs? Cook 'em with your sizzling honor!

@Dark Wind

Kitchen Rule #521: No matter what the Cook says, do not help him strap culinary blowtorches to his limbs. He is not "The Exiled Son Of The Fire Lord" and does not need encouraging.

I knew I should've played a fireball throwing wizard. Now how am I going to go on a quest to restore my honour that turns into a journey of self discovery?!

NOVA DAWN

We could start the RP without a First Mate and decide IC which should be the First Mate and if we want the First Mate to be the right hand man or the crew's elected representative.

@Ink Blood

I'm all for this, just because it'd be a nice sort of thing to get all the characters together. Not that there'd be any shortage of things to bring everyone on board together, naturally. I just have a sudden hankering for rousing political speeches.

Help with Ogrun from Iron Kingdoms

The OP is one of our benign bots. Benign, but a bot nonetheless.

@ArenaSnow

What a weird and wonderful world we live in where bots ask questions about the older version of the IKRPG!

Help with Ogrun from Iron Kingdoms

@Hylozoist, the primary purpose was to see if this is yet another of the Dungeons and Dragons Topic Starter constructs or an actual posting member. Thus far, evidence suggests based on the pattern of questioning and lack of interaction, as well as the other topic created that this is indeed an imposter.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Eh, I'm not really in the habit of digging up people's posting history to check whether or not it's worth my time to reply to somebody - it could be somebody genuinely looking for an answer to a question that is (fairly) obscure, and I'm in a position to help, so I'll reply! Seeing your comment about Savage Species, and me assuming that the OP isn't particularly well-versed in the Iron Kingdoms d20 RPG, I thought it was worth clarifying that it's not a good idea to compare supplements from "outside" the IK RPG to it, because that way madness lies.

It just struck me as a little weird to come in to post the "default answer" to a fairly specific question as opposed to not posting at all.

Help with Ogrun from Iron Kingdoms

All level adjustments should be compared to that.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

It's worth recalling that the Iron Kingdoms d20 isn't really designed to go along with the other D&D 3rd edition stuff. Not to say you can't take stuff from it, but it's not necessarily helpful to compare it to stuff from Savage Species.

Any familiar with IK I would really appreciate the help.

@KeThomas91

Yay, an opportunity to dust off an old RPG book that's been sitting on my shelf for goodness knows how long. I've only been in a couple of campaigns of the old Iron Kingdoms RPG, and we used the Ogrun as presented in the book with relatively few problems.

Presumably it's been changed via errata, but in the copy of the book I've got here, Ogrun are a +1 Level Adjustment with a +2 natural AC bonus, a bonus hit dice at 1st level, and they're large. There's also the obligatory ability adjustments and some extra stuff.

Music Appreciation Thread

@Heat - that took me by surprise. A really gentle one minute and forty second long intro, and then things start to kick in. I'm not a huge fan of the vocals, but that sort of "slower" metal instrumental that feels like waves crashing and breaking against your eardrums is great. It manages to be both atmospheric and musical, and I like that.

I'd give this a 7/10, but I know metal-heads with a penchant for that sort of singing would (rightly) rate it much higher, and I'd encourage them to give this a listen.

Interplanetary Space Friends - A Game About Space Adventures, Friendship and Fast Food

Made that Ratatouie I was talking about. Had to make some recipe substitutions, but it turned out alright. Needed more salt and peper, but for pepper seasoned baked veggies it was pretty good.

@Archmage MC

My experience with doing vegetables is that they nearly always need more salt than I think they do, the tricky blighters. How'd the aubergine eggplant go?
