				Evokers still summon shit... They "conjure" fireballs and drop them on people's heads. :P<br><br>Or well if you remember the old 2nd edition description of a fireball, it's just basically a small marble sized orb that flies through the air. Until it detonates at the desired range, then it's a fireball...because it expands out to its full 20 ft radius.

				All right, folks. First post is up here (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=156176.0).<br>&nbsp;<br>Respond as you like, but here are some guidelines for posting (they look more complicated than they are, promise):<br>&nbsp;<br><span class="bbc_u">Rate</span>: At least once a week or so<br><span class="bbc_u">Tense:</span> Present tense makes me happy in this sort of campaign - it's more action-y!<br><span class="bbc_u">Format:</span> Just use the code below at the beginning of each of your posts, and see mine for an example (I just tossed in the "height=200" code for my own character image; re-size as appropriate for yours and [float] in either direction to your heart's content).<br>&nbsp;<br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatright][img padding=10 height=200]Character Image Here[/img][floatright]<br>[b]Name:[/b]<br>[b]Location:[/b]<br>[b]Tags:[/b]<br>[b]Language[/b]:</code></pre>&nbsp;<br><span class="bbc_u">Locations:</span> Will be primarily on the ship, but if you want to put your character alone in the cargo hold or what-have-you, listing locale will help keep that clear. Feel free, as well, to improvise with ship locations. It's your standard historical-inspired fantasy ship, so assume there's a brig, cargo hold, captain's quarters, etc., and use such locations at will. Your characters, unless otherwise noted, have free range to move about - <em>except</em> to the captain's quarters and locked sections of the cargo hold.<br><span class="bbc_u">Tags:</span> Pretty self-explanatory. If you're engaging with just a select few characters, tag them. Otherwise, something like "(Everyone)" is fine.<br><span class="bbc_u">Language:</span> Might not see much use out of this category, but there it is. If your character is speaking privately in a language other than Common, use this field. Otherwise, it's assumed that you're speaking in Common and everyone can understand; the field is&nbsp;omitted in this case.<br>&nbsp;<br><hr>&nbsp;<br>I will be updating the Crew Roster later and will be moving a copy of these posting guidelines to the Rules thread, but all the same, post at will!

				<strong>Very Important Update (Game on Hold):</strong> Phew, all right, folks. I've still got a week to two left in the moving process, and I'm still separated from my handy-dandy sourcebooks and all those lovely DM-type things. I know things slowed down in the game with the holidays (just that time of year), but I really dislike the idea of asking anyone to wait <em>further</em> while I try to dig my possessions out of storage in three different states.<br><br>Really rotten timing on my part, but I don't think managing a group game of any size is a manageable endeavor for me right now - especially with all my sourcebooks 1,000 miles away. So, unfortunately, at this point, I'm going to put the story on hold before things slide further into "delayed" status. I really do apologize for pulling the plug, but I did not anticipate a cross-country move when I started things up.<br><br>Still, even though we didn't get particularly far, I did enjoy writing and brainstorming some good old DnD fun with everyone.
