A Novel Role-Playing Game

My only regret was
Cows by Matthew Stokoe. What an awful book. Very violent, nasty and bleak. Had I an alternate cow book I would have trashed this one but I left it too late.
Was trying to do some of the classifieds the X author's book I chose was really good Not something I'd normally read But I need it for something else LOL
Found my new mouser. - Meet Set (Breed: Sphynx [hairless]. Egyptian god king of War and Chaos -- In Greek known as Typhon the deadliest monster in Greek Mythology)
How stinkin cute is he! Congrats, Rachel :)
A face only a mother could love. Oy vay! Congrats.
Congrats Rachel :)I think this will be in next Caravan :P
Between this challenge and wheel-a-thon, I always feel like a mad woman at the end of the week/month. Having one of those moments where you try and convince yourself that you can read five books in two days. It can't be that hard, right? =p
Woo Hoo! I finally got a horse, now I just need to make it drink...or was that I need to buy a drink for all to celebrate?I'd like to introduce Chaucer:
Woohoo! Congrats Diane. We need a place for all the horses to frolic. Is there a horse stable for all the horses to hang out? We might have to build one.
Congrats, Rachel. The kitty is sure scary. I wouldn't dare to cross it. ;) Beautiful horse, Diane.

Congratulations Diane! He is beautiful.
Is a drop bear available for attack today and then resets weekly tomorrow?Or is the FIRST Bear only available starting tomorrow?
Having the hat really confuses things.

The hat applies to common monsters only and the bear is not listed as a common monster (no bribing this one).
I would say it appears every Sunday and stays max a week (or shorter amount of time if you kill it anytime during that week). If you don't kill it then it leaves just before next Sunday when another bear appears.
I would think that the first one appears on the first Sunday in May. It's a Sunday creature.
Reva, on second reading the new class of monsters bit in the rules: "The number will always reset either on Sunday (weekly creatures) or the 1st of the month (monthly creatures)." it might go either way. The first one might be already here and today midnight he dissapears and the new one appears first thing tomorrow.You'll have to wait for Kelly to decide.
Thats why I asked the question to be sure.

Hi everybody. I haven't visited in awhile. Just popped in to see what's been going on. I was just wondering,not sure if this was asked but is there a page count limit?

Hi Tea, I was wondering whether the 100 pgs minimum applies to Lady Dani Lost and Found's quest too? As according to The Maze Challenge there is no minimum page limit...

Hi Tea, I was wo..."
Yes, it applies to all books used in this challenge. As for Lady Dani's quest, plan was only to use maze map and left/right rule.
And welcome to Tavern Sara. Your first ale is on me*passes tankard to Sara*

Hi ..."
So audiobooks are not allowed? Or am I wrong? 'Cause I've used one for that challenge but if it doesn't count I'll remove it. Sorry Tea, but I'm a newbie in this adventure, which I have to say is totally funny and I really love it!
And thanks for your welcome, *cheers to you* :)

Don't worry, audiobooks count, ebooks count. You can reread books as many times as you want. As long as they are over 100 pages. In case of children book, poems, or something similar check word count (it has to be over 25.000)
Only thing (I think) we don't allow are graphic novels and things like that - lot of images few words per page.
If you are using audiobook/ebook that doesn't have page count and you need them, just use one from default edition.
Now it's clear, thank you so much Tea! :)
You are welcome. That's why we are here.And you are doing great for newbie :)
Can I delete my post in your thread now? Seen it?
Still looking for a definitive answer to message 2167 please and thanks.

Just seen it now, thanks for telling me that you wrote there otherwise I'd have missed it ;)
You can delete your message Tea, and I'll correct my post.
Reva wrote: "Still looking for a definitive answer to message 2167 please and thanks."I know. I'm not ignoring you, I'm just not sure about the answer. That's Kelly's baby so she needs to be one to answer it.
I'd say go for it now, but I'm just not sure.
You know all this tasks sound perfectly reasonable when we make them and I understand everything perfectly until someone asks something. Then I figure out that that didn't even cross my mind so I can't give you answers. Or I find out I 'got it' totally differently from what Kelly had in mind. :)
❀Tea❀ wrote: "Only thing (I think) we don't allow are graphic novels and things like that - lot of images few words per page."BTW, I have allowed graphic novels. I know there's some people who read them almost exclusively and since this is single player I didn't want to exclude them.
Reva wrote: "Is a drop bear available for attack today and then resets weekly tomorrow?Or is the FIRST Bear only available starting tomorrow?

Only common animals are affected by the hat. You may attack drop bear today if you'd like then attack again tomorrow.
Sorry guys. Today was a bit nuts and I hadn't had a chance to hop online yet.
Can drop bear's mean go bad? Since I don't have house yet that means no kitchen and no fridge so I can't really keep it cold :P

That's wonderful news. I have been putting off my watchmen BR because I thought it would not count.
I've read the dresden file Graphic Novels and I find they do end up taking quite a bit of time to read. It may have been since I'm not very good at reading them yet though.
❀Tea❀ wrote: "Can drop bear's mean go bad? Since I don't have house yet that means no kitchen and no fridge so I can't really keep it cold :P"Drop bear meat is preserved with pure evil drop bear venom that's present throughout the drop bear. I dare you to prove me wrong!
So we are giving poisoned meat to our Queen?! *backs away scared of being accused of treason*
Or it's Karen you're trying to poison? :P
Cooking destroys the poison. It's like the Lima bean.
I also have a huge book off walking dead graphic novel
If we're using an extension gift card, where do we post it? Do we just include it with the post the quest is in on our threads?
Tea's answer regarding extension cards:❀Tea❀ wrote: "Zee wrote: "Can I just confirm that I can use an extension gift card on quests?
I've decided I need a timewalk potion so I don't have to worry about the expiry date on the longer quests (horse, bunny, house) ..."
Yes. you can use it. You need to use it before quest expires to get another month. Don't forget to let us know you're using it and where. ☺ "
Hope that helped, Tia. :)
