Each Hero is allowed to search each room once. So that is a maximum of 4 searches per room.

Well, it sorta worked. The next quest, as you all know, is Race Against Time (don't know why it's called that *shrugs*) where the heroes have to basically make it back to the spiral staircase. So I went through the treasure deck to take out some WM/Haz cards and I noticed that there aren't too many of them, he must have just had a few unlucky draws. Anyway, I took out a hazard and a couple of WM. Dave was good and had at least 1 hero search each room for treasure -- I'll have to reread the part where each hero is allowed to search a room for treasure once.

So then he gets to the quest treasure, and he's been so good at searching for traps but he completely forgets in this room and the TC trap gets him. *shakes head* At least the hero had enough BP that he didn't die, but still. *giggles*

I think the point is he's learning, slowly

but still, it's good, because I get to play.

Hmm...what else did you ask? *rereads* Oh yeah. Princess Millandriel avatar. No probs. Zelda works fine for me, it's one of my two favorite video games (other is Dragon Quest).

Let us know how those tactics work out for you.

I don't think I added Millandriel to the Avatar Gallery. I could add one from either the mirror or token. They aren't the best images. The token would probably make for the better avatar since it's clearer. If'n I remember, I'll add it tomorrow. Zelda is another fine option though. Maybe even the Witch Queen.

This is a great idea! And usually when we play he's near the end of a tv show or working on his computer and says something like, "get it set up and call me when you're ready" so I have plenty of time to screw with the treasure deck. If I tried to stack it while shuffling before drawing a card (which I can't do, by the way

) he'd notice, but since I do the shuffling he won't realize that the deck is a bit thinner.

I also like the idea of adding those little 10 or 15G bits for the second or third searcher, to encourage him to make every hero search a room. Yay!

You two are so clever. I keep forgetting that it's my game and I can do mostly whatever I want.

Thank you very much, you two, for all the advice.

EDIT: Whoa! I'm a skeleton now. Wonder when that happened. I oughtta think of an avatar or something. *twiddles thumbs* Wonder if there's a nice pic of Princess Millandriel, you know, 'cause I'm a girl.

I'll have to think about this.

EDIT2: Princess Zelda will have to do for now.

And now to get ready for work. Later, guys.

Phoenix helped me out with one of my groups where a couple players were either uninterested or afraid to search for treasure. His suggestions are in the thread Hidden Treasure.

There is no bad blood, just ensuing humor!

Oh, by all means. It's encouraged. I expect I'll be contributing to the Stargate Forum in the very near future as well.

Not if you don't get down to business and start watching those Stargate eps.

Not that I'm aware of. Although I do tend to be quite oblivious at times. I hope I've not caused any ill will toward my friend Phoenix. With any luck, I have not.

I just meant that there seemed to be a running joke about the way you write your posts. It made me laugh, no harm done. I think.

Back to HQ. Dave just finished Quest 9: The Fire Mage with me. I played Zargon more evilly than I normally would and 3 of the 4 heroes died before the Elf finally picked up the Wand of Magic. Poor Dave. He had a few unlucky combat roles, but mostly he forgets to search for treasure and therefore doesn't pick up useful potions. Although, he did search for treasure maybe 5 or 6 times and got 2 cards with gold coins and a potion of healing and 2 cards with hazards and a wandering monster...maybe the hazards and wandering monsters scare him off from continuing to search. Maybe I need to remind him that each hero can search a room for treasure. *shrugs* Oh well. He did say that when I play my hardest and really try to kill him, he has more fun playing. I, on the other hand, feel like a big bully or something. :oops:

I suppose I'll just have to get over it.

Interesting fact. I was not aware of that. I do know of a few other shows that have been filmed in Vancouver. I believe the property and income taxes in the city may actually go to the IRS rather than the CRA.

I have a feeling I've stumbled into something betwixt you too. Either that or I'm in the Twilight Zone. Probably time for me to hit the hay. Thanks again for the laughs.
