yes, I understand. You do not 'have' to do anything that your character cannot do. Medieval is very realistic, if you do not feel you need a horse then you do not need one, but you must of course be innovative where transport is needed, however as the GM I cannot say what you should do.

If your character cannot afford something then check the sticky Threads within the main Medieval Board for possibilities or simply Upgrade to exchange FP for gold. Really, a lot of this you can Discuss in the camp Thread as it is related to the game, just make sure that as you do it, you also move the game forward. For instance you may say that your character contemplates about his lack of gold and kicks some stones near his foot. Then out of character you question the others about what to do.

No bother at all. In fact you already have quite a bit of FP, make some more Posts and you may be able to exchange that for GP via the Forum Shop.

Lastly, I never saw you as the RPG type, it is actually surprising. We have other RPGs that you may wish to join in as well: Ruler of Kings, Love & Life Bytes, Plugged and so forth. Actually, how come you have not tried Nephi RPG?

Introduction Tortdog

I am actually not a fan of "churchy" games, or movies for that matter. Although, Saints and Soldiers and The Best Two Years have changed my mind a bit. Nephi thus didn't start to float my boat.

In truth, I've done D&D years ago ... years. My brother used to act as DM. But we gravitated more to the board games by Games Shop (think that's right) since it was easier to play a 2-player game (and I only had so many brothers). Played loads of fantasy/strategic games growing up (Avalon Hills made a mint off us). As computer games came into being, we moved to those since we could play them remotely.

My son makes loads of maps for Warcraft (still one of the best games ever made, in my very humble opinion). My other son plays them (and I join in when I find the time). Both have an interest in doing RPGs. Frankly, the holdup has always been getting enough people together (since you lose one as a "master") and finding the time. Using forums to achieve this end is pretty good.

I'm about 100 posts short of a horse. So, that'll take a bit (especially being all constructive).

I'll post it in the thread, and try to make it "quick" so the party can get on with things.

Nephi is the only one 'churchy' as you put it... not a typical Mormon eh? We have about twenty something other RPGs here and another ten interactive games, so there is essentially something here for everyone.

By the way, did anyone ever tell you that you look like Warren Jeffs? Hope that is not insulting.

Puhlease. Besides, I can't imagine having two of my wives. You should SEE my honey-do list.

(Did my best to get the images up, but apparently they aren't coming through. Go figure.)

Pride myself on that. Hate being typical.** Definitely not into Molly or Mike Mormons. Despite that, they put me in all sorts of callings allowing me to wreck havoc on our poor local congregations. Go figure. And they won't fire me. What's with that? (Still chuckle recalling the dance YA dance where I made sure there were several Coke products present. Ya know, everyone else in the leadership wanted them, but I was the only one brave enough to carry it through...) Have I also mentioned the ward activity in which I held it at a country bar to engage in country dancing, to help bring in a couple from the ward which loved doing that every Friday feel like they would fit in? There were actually more Mormons there than non-Mormons (though we left before the real crowd arrived). And we tipped the poor server heavily, since she wasn't making much money off our crowd.

*Is that where you found my picture? I'm thinking it's the only public photo on the net. Could be wrong, but I am curious.

**Though I believe there is a difference between being "typical" and having the Spirit with you. I'm a firm believer that the Spirit is essential in all our affairs, but also believe that He has a sense of humor.

Introduction Tortdog

We have a Thread on Warren Jeffs here (actually a couple), so I know what he looks like, and yes, I saw that picture. Actually LDS_forever and I looked at it and without saying what each other thought we came to the same conclusion. Maybe we should start a Thread... "Does Tortdog resemble Warren Jeffs?"

As for the LDS input, so you are one of the rebels eh? You did not say (either purposely or not) about having "Sealed" as your status.

I am also curious... how does an attorney have this much time to participate online?

Tortdog Introduction

I don't consider myself a rebel. I'm normal. Everyone else is kind of off. And I'm the free thinker.

Didn't see that "sealed" was a status. Guess I didn't scroll down enough. Think I just typed "m" for married and was done with it. But, yeah, I've been sealed for 17 years. I hear it lasts longer than that, though.

Shhhh. Don't tell my wife. She hates that I spend time posting on forums. But I love to write. And I love to argue (in the positive sense, of course, since I regularly make arguments in court). So forums give you the ability to write well-reasoned arguments in a flash, and force you to think.

Love 'em.

So I poke in when I can. Even if it's just for a few moments. And, being a government attorney, it's a little easier than when I worked in private practice.

I would have never guessed. *laughs*

That is too bad, we could use more couples on here.

I missed that earlier question because of your edit. Yes, I searched you out when you initially joined because of all the 'ruckus' in the beginning. That is an up to date picture? Looks like you when you were back in college?

Ah that is good, please tell Pres. Bush to send us a couple of green cards so I can get out of this wretched place.
