@GazWeetman Careful with that sort of thing! The vandals of Hammerwich will be down later to wreck the place.

@KevinLamb74 @Axenhammer1 @redholstein Iirc Jonathan Harker in the Peter Cushing Hammer film Horror of Dracula is just bitten by Christopher Lee’s Dracula and transforms into a vampire - so, yes, he is dead, but not reduced (in D&D terms) to 0 hp in a single combat. Maybe that is what DA had in mind.

@SineadWatson91 Sorry to hear that - but that is a beautiful picture of you and the feline fella.

@KevinLamb74 Most later Hammer stuff is just 70s titillation for 70s British TV - nearer to Benny Hill than Deep Throat.

@VengerSatanis @CorpseKings I totally agree - it’s something I learned from playing the earliest version of Traveller: if you have a skill you are supposed to be at least at a tradesperson level of skill. There is no need to roll for routine actions because that is why you are skilled in the first place.

@SineadWatson91 He certainly does have that imperious ‘If your name’s not on the list, you’re not coming in’ look about him.

@JohnnyOmaha Are you on the Traveller Discord? It is generally more positive (although, as with all things RPG, spats do happen)

@Nina_Power_ I find filling an old bottle with pins, peeing in it and burying it on the threshold of your property works wonders against black magic - so much so that I haven’t been given a box of chocolates since I last made up a bottle.

@Gingerblast Personally I like Strong Tone - licked off a gauge 0 brush, with a hint of Necrotic Flesh.

[Elliot Vernon @DrElliotVernon]

@JohnnyOmaha Genetically elevated ancient Droyne warrior caste?

[Elliot Vernon @DrElliotVernon]

@Nina_Power_ You would also get a garbage answer, but at least it wouldn’t come with the dismissive, scolding tone that AI seems to have been programmed to provide.

[Elliot Vernon @DrElliotVernon]

@JohnnyOmaha I enjoyed it tremendously

[Elliot Vernon @DrElliotVernon]

@Glinner Don’t worry, there’s enough from the old days to play until normality returns (if it ever does)…

@JohnnyOmaha If only Earl Dumarest had TAS membership - would’ve saved him a great deal of bother in his travels.

@TracyLesch Very cool!
