BK (Boss Killing, not Burger King)

This screen shot represents a personal best for me. My little unarmed monk managed to land the fatal blow that brought Sheelo to her demise, never before have I been so lucky while playing on BadLands.

It all started last night when Vic Vega handed over a pile of gold to Hellie Facebreaker the likes of which would make Donald Trump drool. After spending every last red cent on equipment upgrades Hellie headed up the mountain to obtain the snowpipes (thanks again to some pre-planning on Vic's part), once the snowpipes were aquired Hellie single handedly punched polar bears and frost giants in the face with great success at only level 24-25.

Vic, Hellie and a few others later in the evening continued to battle ants and ice spiders while quickly growing in strength, the groups confidence was overflowing when they decided to take on the Frost Giant Badass, many were lost but a few strong souls prevailed! Once the group revived it's dead and licked it's wounds they continued to climb the mountian growing ever stronger. Finally they reached the crest where the dragon Sheelo awaited them. The battle was fierce and seemed almost never ending, but the determined party hacked, slashed, and punched their way to victory! What awaits these tried and true adventurers fate only knows.

Sweet Moo-la with Uncle Rico

Frost Giants are awesome if you're looking to score some cash. The hammers that the male Frost giants drop are worth at least 250,000 gold! If you start at the Mt. Shelter, you can run up to the Frosty cave and find 4 males up there. Slice and dice them, then sell those hammers to Guz to earn yourself over 1 million gold!

Polar Bears

Tuesday night Badlands Drenfest summary:

Logged on about 9pm eastern to find McMinn and Simon partied up and leveling on the Mountain Slide (insane druids and black bears). Hilarity ensued- comprised of McMinn and Simon's Sophomoric humor that incessantly bombarded everyone in the "chat" area. Particularly funny were their interpretations of what "R.P.G." stood for. Not sure if they noted the irony of the situation considering they are the ones that usually bitch about "high school" kids acting immature in the Badlands.
Since they were several levels below me, I proceeded to the North Face of Sheelo mountain where he was able to "knockdown" polar bears. Now, I usually don't complain about the liberties that RPG games take with the laws of physics and reality in general, but can someone explain to me how a normal sized human with a strength of "18" can knockdown an 11 ft tall, 1,500lb bear???

Nubbie

Last nights game was fun and hilarious, everyone had a good character to play and the “dings” were plentiful. Of course the best part was the trash-talking over ‘shout’ with the PC Nubbie. The whole thing started when I created a brand new character so I could level-up with Garble & ColdCut who also made new characters that night.

Being strapped for time I whipped up a female elven /monk, and typed in the first thing that came to mind when it was time to give her a name (since I didn’t PLAN on playing this character for more than one night)…I typed in “Smackie Yur-Faceface”! Perfect name for an unarmed female monk build I thought, wrong!

Everything was going great, Garble was launching fire and acid spray everywhere with his mage, ColdCut was punching enemies in the face with his monk, as was I. Then I get this private message from Nubbie saying that my characters name was offensive in some manner. I couldn’t understand why, and that’s when the stuff hit the fan, I had a few captains and cokes in me by that time and thought it was a good idea to antagonize Nubbie (He’s the one who messaged me first.) After a few remarkes back and fourth through private chat, things moved to ‘shout’ so EVERYONE could read the exchange.

By this point Nubbie wanted to PK poor level 9 Smackie Yur-Faceface, Nubbie is like level 36 just so you know. My party and I were bashing Tyrant Fog Zombies when all of a sudden Nubbie appears and spawns like 15 enemies, I managed to run down a hall and port back to Dozo but all the ‘Nubbie spawns’ killed my teammates since there were just too many of them.

Finally another high level player private messaged me and said to lead Nubbie to the Crystal Coast so that he could kill him, so I did, plus he battled Nubbie in the arena and killed him twice there, it was great. My party and I watched from the bleachers while we used our “Laugh” emotes repeatedly adding to the hilarity. I think the guys name was Anuvein the Wanderer or something like that I’m not completely sure. Once Nubbie was defeated he kept challenging Smackie Yur-Faceface to a duel, but she wasn’t enough close to being powerful enough to fight the Nubbster, so I brought in the big guns. Shayla Ellow, a 35th level greatsword fighter unfortunately for her, her AC is only 51 and she lost to Nubbie (That’s why I never fight monks, I don’t know why I even tried, must’ve been the rum talking).

Finally I got bored with trash talking with Nubbie, but he continued to stir up the other players on the server. Going on and on about starting Guilds and having Guild Wars, I’m sorry but none of us have time for that, I don’t even think I’ve ever built a character past level 40 on BadLands. Anyways, it was all super funny and we all had a good time (I think) playing last night hopefully the fun will continue. At least the DM will have an entertaining chat-log if he keeps that sort of thing.

BadLandsRPG website.

It's been awhile so here's the first post of 2008 which has been long overdue anyways.

Here's a link the the website for the BadLandsRPG server. It's got some downloads and links to the last ever NwN update patch 1.69. Also there has been mention of "Q" adding a jousting area to Badlands.

Enjoy
