I'm sure it was a momentary aberration.

Connie you're not the only one who has some weird dice habits. There are even witches you can send your dice to who will remove curses and send them back.

Kalshane I recently had a party discover an ancient temple full of cursed sepulchers. Most of them figured out that the 'blessings' the dead wished to bestow on them were not worth it but the barbarian accepted four blessings and is now short tempered, egotistical, covered in oily black fur, and has to eat a pound of bones or graveyard dirt per day or he will die.

I think it's kind of unfair for you to mock my brother like that. Barbarian indeed.

We are almost ready to begin game 10 of Race for the Galaxy - now with double digits! I shall be sending out starting hands and whatnot once everything's ready. Here are the parameters:

• We're using the base game and the first two expansions.

• That means we have enough cards to support six players! They are:

omnis
chrismg
Connie Neil
Ryan
-t
Laga

• We are using goals, as we have for the last few games.

• Starting hand: every player will receive six cards and discard two, so they start with 4 cards in hand. They will also receive two starting world options, and choose one to start their layout.

It's been a while since last we played. If anyone needs a refresher on anything, just let me know.

And what did the curses do to him? (I have yet to encounter a barbarian in-game that wasn't short-tempered or egotistical and the fur and dirt-eating aren't really that much of a stretch.)

He's dragonborn so yeah, now he's a furry, oily dragon. I should say he's become more short tempered and egotistical due to the curses. And I swear he was not eating dirt and bones before the curse.

Sorry for the delay. I have insent my starting world and discards.

I'm trying. But now that I'm not at work anymore, they cut off my access to OneNote sync. Yikes.

One fun thing I did forget to mention was that when the paladin first started attacking his friends the barbarian player immediately asked if she could throw him behind the goblins they were fighting. A couple Athletics checks later and the paladin was picking himself up off the ground and tearing into the goblins' back ranks.

I made the mistake of telling the party I was DMing that I'd let them get away with just about anything if they could make the game mechanics work. I eventually had to have a thief come through and take away all their belts of giant strength etc. They did finally realize that the tiny white kitten that was following them around and looking adorable was not something they could throw rocks at--darn those avatars of touchy gods.
