  1. I was just browsing through my bookmarks and found a link to the online alignment generator at the AD&D site(http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20001222b) and I thought it might be interesting for others too to test out their characters according to AD&D alignment rules, just for Fun.

    To make it more interesting write down the alignment you THINK your character is, then try the test. You might be surprised:)

    I thought that i'd be Chaotic Good

    I ended up Neutral or True Neutral....

    Neutral

    A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn’t feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutrality is a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil. After all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she’s not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. The common phrase for neutral is "true neutral." Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion

  3. Twas a grand tellin' o that story Centurion!  Twas a grand last battle that we all parted our ways and thought we were all surely dead by the onslaught of the devilsh orcs.

    Twas a site to this old praetorian to see m'brother MadMan come strolling through me doors about a month later!  As he was relating his fine adventuring tales of his new adventures, he hath told me of meeting up unexpectedly with Ye and the glorious Phalynx Lord Red which brought a tear to me eye!  Tis a wonderous thing to have us all back together and we shall be stronger than ever!  LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE AND LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!!!

    STRENGTH AND HONOR!!!

  5. *note to Red from Madman*

    M'lord,

    I humbly regret you receiving this letter.  First, I accomplished my mission of taking out the yew orc fort.  I cunningly stalked the orcs and through strategic tactics I managed to take the fort myself.  Unfortunately, your receiving this letter cause I killed myself due to now actually having to wash and shave Wolf!  A soldier should never have to see horrific things like that!  :0 :0 :D :D

  6. Coldren, Coldren, Coldren.....now i hear your pickin' on the french.....tsk tsk

    As a canuck myself Wolf, people just dont understand.  And Coldren, Canadien food exists.....just cause its not fast food like america doesn't mean it doesn't exist man!  Your underprivledged if you've never had putins or rapee man!

    and LONG LIVE MOLSON AND LABATTS!(and moosehead too)

  7. There's nothing better than the start of football season.  I cannot fathom someone not liking football but we will let that pass for now :0:D   So who likes who here?  I'm a HUGE Miami Dolphins fan, and of course the Pats(who by the way just signed the biggest mouth in football, bryan cox who i still admire greatly for his stunt pulled while playing for the dolphins and walking into buffalo stadium!!!!!!!!):D

  8. I can not remembered if I cried that day, the day my Mother, Sienus, died.

    I stared at my mother as she was taking her last few breathes, her body twisted into positions that a body never should have been possible. I heard as I cowered underneath the tavern floor, the sound of her flesh tearing and I almost lost my insides but held back knowing that it meant certain death for me.

    As my mother screamed in agony, my heart and head ached, but I looked straight into her eyes through the floor boards as I finally heard the Orc legion gurgling in their language to fall back to their camp.

    I carefully made my way back upstairs through the loose floor boards in the left hand corner. I knelt besides mother and a grasped her hand, or what was left of it. Minutes seems like ages right at that time, and felt like I lived and died 20 times during this span. Anger welled up in me as well as hatred. I grabbed the first weapon I could find, which was a spear, and started pacing back and forth in my mothers tavern. Suddenly a slight breeze touched my cheek and I turned to the left and saw an orc pawn charging towards me. I raised my spear and prepared for battle.

    The orc was holding a rusty short sword. He raised his sword and took a quick slash by my head, I moved my spear quickly to the left to block the oncoming attack. Sparks flew as the sword came in contact with the edge of my spear, I threw his sword to the floor and raised my spear and stabbed him right in the stomach. The orc let out a dull roar as he tried to remove my spear from his rib cage, but to no avail. He was dead, just like everything else around me at this moment in my life.

    I cannot recall most of my feelings at this time or what really happened next. I think this is a process that I used to eliminate this part of my life. However, I do remember the grave. As I first exited my mothers tavern, death was the only thing to be seen. People and children were lying dead everywhere. Babies were still buring in the center fire pit, limbs were ripped from mothers trying to save their children. Why was I the only one spared this horrible turn of fate? The next thing I knew was that I was digging….just digging a huge grave for my family and village. It must have been hours later, into the late twilight of the new moon, until I saw anything living. What I saw, I will never forget for it saved my existence in this world. I could make out half a dozen shadows creeping through the smoke still rising from burning huts. 4 women and 2 men came into view suddenly and without word, the men took the shovel from my hands and had the women carry me off as they finished burrying the dead. These people became my family, my new sisters and brothers. They gave my life purpose again. The sisters taught me to read and write as well as some dabbling in mystical ways. The brothers taught me about HONOR and courage and the will to survive. Years went by as I learned the way of the sword. Skills to be used in the art of war and the mastery of ones inner being to prevail over evil. The sisters also schooled me in the ways of virtues. I was taught about all the virtues in the land but HONOR prevailing above all else. I was happy with my new friends but something was still amiss.

    I woke on that day of my 18th birthday to quiet. There was no one to be found and I was alone again. As I began to pack my belongings, I noticed a glimmer of silver lying on a chair in the corner. On this sword was a note saying “ May the light guide your life and this silver sword guide your hand. Strength and Honor Brother” These words are something held very dear to me and this sword my prized possession. I left that day in search of something pure and good again. Years have passed by and I’ve yet to find my brothers or sisters who gave new life to me. I have however stummbled upon a great empire in a new land. The Purple Guardians of Honor hath accepted me into their ranks. When I discovered their saying “Strenght and Honor” it gave me hope to find out what happened to my brothers and sister. Till then, I have new brothers and sisters upon who I may rely on and they can rely on me. Tis a strange feeling but I feel this is where I have always belonged. STRENGTH AND HONOR!!!
