It's one of those grey areas where it doesn't say you can, and doesn't say you can't.

The ability days you can make a tool or weapon, with no mention of copying properties of materials. A strict reading would say you get a generic longsword, no more no less. I like the creativity, and I want to encourage that type of problem solving.
The next thing I say to you will be true.
The last thing I said was false.

Sorry Sherman, I realize I bolded the wrong character on your turn. Glad you caught it.

Happy New Year!

This is your firendly reminder that Dundracon weekend is only a month and a half away!  I don't have a schedule time for the game I'm hosting yet; but when I get it I'll let you know.  What day works best for you guys?  I think Sherman mentioned Saturday?

Aaaaaaand I'm no longer getting updates from this board.  I'll try to check in more regularly.  FWIW I can be available either day that weekend, but it would be a bummer to play without the entire party present.  Not to rob Andy the joys of marionetting but I say full table ftw. 
You know where you are!?  You in the Myrkviðr baby!  You gonna diiiiiiiiiieee!

I could always run a one-shot game with different characters.  Mainly I hope to see you guys more often and throw some (non-digital) dice.

So will ayone be able to make it to Dundracon?  Dylan will be there, and Spencer will be there for a day (Saturday the 13th).  It would be great to see you.

Good to see Travis and Sherman in the flesh last weekend.

With the new year, it might be a good time to reflect on where we are and what we want to do.  Is this format working for us?  Do we like the characters we have?  Do we want to continue this game?  Stick with 5e, or play something else?  Is there something we've been itching to try out that we haven't gotten to?

I was introduced to a system called Savage Worlds at the convention.  It uses rules created for the Deadlands RPG (which is one of the campaign worlds).  The system is super simple, and it allows characters of all shapes and sizes.  Like GURPS without all the math.  The same ruleset is used for fantasy, sci-fi, superhero, and horror games.  The campaign world I'm most excited about is the upcoming Rifts conversion.  Anyone familiar with Rifts knows that it's a multi-genre world that includes dragons, wizards, psychics, cyborgs, aliens, and monsters. I'll be putting something together for a game at next year's convention, but if you're interested we can do something here as well; either in addition to or instead of what we're playing now.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.  I'm more than happy to press on with what we're currently doing if that's what we want; this isn't an attempt to sway you any which way.  I noticed that we stalled out a bit toward the end of the year, and I'm checking to make sure we still want to continue.

I'm quite disappointed that I wasn't able to join you guys at the Con. It would've been nice to see everyone.

This format works for me since we can't get together to play in person on a regular basis. I'm perfectly fine with playing 5E. For this format, simple rules are the best and 5E definitely fits the bill.

P.S. - Stupid notifications stopped working again...

I'm good with 5E as well. Not that interested in learning a different system at this point, plus the online game isn't too rules heavy. It transitions well to the occasional in person games we can have once in a while. I've tried to keep up with moves and stuff, but sometimes there's not that much for my character to do. He's not the leader type so he doesn't want to drive the adventure. Now, if it was Nelio... ;)
