Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Where I went to 5th grade, they happened maybe twice a week for a few weeks because of high-schoolers trying to get out of... I can't remember if it was midterms or finals. They put up bomb-threat posters and such, and everyone had to run out.
This wasn't something that would have affected us (different building, down the street), except that the place the high school evacuated to was the recess-area for the 4th-and-5th-grade school (still not sure why there was a separate building for that), and some former students would always come up to our class to say hi to the teacher.

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
I have alot of memories of lockdowns.
First one I was in, I was in 2nd grade and didn't know what a lockdown was. Schoold never taught me before hand. It was recess, and suddenly the bells were going off earlier than normal, and they were going off constantly rather than a few seconds. I was confused, but was making my way back to my class, which was on the opposite side of the campus. Some random teacher was yelling at me from her door incoherently, as well as at other students around me. I contined toward where my class when suddenly I felt myself being dragged into the teachers classroom, where I've never been before. I kept trying to say that my classroom and teacher were on the opposite side of the campus, but I kept being shushed at. Then the lights were turned off and I was shoved under a desk with 3 other students I didn't know, but they were 4th and 5th graders atleast. I had no idea what was going on, since the school decided to, oh, forego teaching me what a lockdown was in kindergarden or 1st grade. The cause of the lockdown, some 5th graders decided that it would be a good idea to throw some rocks at a beehive they found just off campus through the chainlink fence.
Most other lockdowns happened when a robbery or a suspect happened in the area. These happened atleast 1 or twice every 2 years. Then there was one lockdown in middle school when it started hailing heavy, though that was probably more for the PE classes outside than the rest of us (Where I'm at, hail and snow don't exist.)
And then, twice in high school, same year, once in each semester. The school was placed in lockdown because the police got an anonymous phone call twice that a student had a gun in their backpack. Both times happened when I was in geometry class. Both time happened when we were in the middle of a major test. And both times, the teacher told us we'd take the test the next day, and didn't change it at all, so we got the same questions where we could study and prepare for that night. The calls were faked, but swat was called in both times. It was humourous one time where the students in my class were texting their friends in the music department, the place one of the gun's were rumored to be, and were starting to panic that their friends weren't responding back. After 10 minutes of them freaking out, I finally said, "Guys. The police are probably there and searching their bags. So of course they won't respond back to you."
So yeah, I'm no stranger to lockdowns.

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
I have an idea for a city campaign that I have wanted to try out for a bit. A bounty hunter (ranger focusing on cities). Would that work?

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Of course it would. And that would actually work out pretty well.
I'll be playing an elven necromancer. Don't worry, I think I know how to handle a DMPC. He'll just be support, flavor, and there to help you guys out if you get really stuck. And if I'm getting too overbearing, don't be afraid to smack me over the head. Oh, and those of you who are playing will get a special treat: Unless things go completely pear-shaped, the campaign might become part of the Aequar canon.
Of course, I'll still be doing this comic.My webcomic!

Oh, we'll find some way to screw up. No campaign survives first contact with the players.

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Pathfinder is better balanced, although the Cleric, Druid and Wizard classes are still far ahead of the rest. I'd recommend level somewhere between 5 and 9 which is what most people consider the 'sweet spot' of the system.
But before you decide, remember that sleep is good.Last edited by Asta Kask; 2013-02-24 at 03:39 PM.

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
Heh, thanks. Wow, I really wasn't expecting this much of a response.
I won't be able to do anything for a week and a half, maybe two weeks, but I'm not doing more than 5 players. I might post a recruitment thread with more details tonight.My webcomic!

Re: Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure
I just noticed that Radic says by Gaia, that's a nice touch. I probably should go back and reread the whole thing and see what little things I've missed.
