I've added two more characters. Craningar
Rue and Lochlainn M'a'Chleirigh.
I also have another on the way so we should be up
to 10 characters soon. Just a note when sending tactics
updates. Could you please send them as a seperate
document from the actually character sheet. This way
I can add them as an addendum. I tend to compile all
the tactics into one sheet so its easier when doing
the fights. Just submit the character's name, the
date, and the tactics. Thanks. I have a dded a character
sheet in Excel format that can be used to record character
statistics when submitting a character.

I feel the urge to vent right now about one very annoying
thing. Hewlett Packard deskjet printers. Sunday night
I bought a cartridge refill system supposedly designed
for my print cartridge type. I think a dead monkey
determines what cartridges can be refilled using this
utter piece of crap. I will avoid using the name of
the actuall product purchased because I would probably
have a coronary right now just getting worked up over
it. Anyway after following the dismal instructions
(something about drilling a whole in the side of the
cartridge!?), I managed to fill the thing and clean
everything up. Not bad so far. Put the cartridge back
in my printer and leave to go for coffee with my fiance
and her parents. Get back a few hours later and I
check the printer and whoa, the cartridge is leaking.
Now at this point I would like to mention that I thought
it was only dripping a little bit. I unplugged the
printer, lifted it up, walked halfway across the room
before realizing that about a half gallon of ink was
spilling all over my keyboard, monitor, desk, carpet,
chair, clothing and anything else between the desk
and the bathroom. Anyway I was PISSED!!! After cleaning
it all up I decided to go buy an ink cartridge and
vowed never again to attempt to refill on my own.
Anyway after paying out excessive amounts of money
for a damn HP ink cartridge (I checked the price of
printers, I could have bought a cheap printer for
less... no word of a lie. I could have bought a brand
new printer for less than the cost of a replacement
cartridge!), I get home and find out that in Canada
HP sells only certain types of printers which of course
need seperate cartridges than the regular series (I
bought a cartridge for the 600 series of deskjet,
you would think a 648 would be included in that but
it isn't!). So I had to return that and get the exact
one that was needed. I have decided that I am going
to get a Brother Laserjet printer. The real kicker
to this is that the ink cartridges for the Brother
Laserjets are cheaper than inkcartridges for HP deskjests.
You don't even want to know the cost of HP laserjet
refills. Anyway I feel better after spreading bad
words about a company that is positioned to gouge
the crap out of its customers. Good riddance to them...
anyone interested in buying an HP Deskjet 648C?
Game related news now. I have added a new character
to the Pit. Rannos the Fatherless.
In addition a new DM has joined the ranks, Ivan
Zagad. You can read a sample fight here.
September 24, 2001
I have added the first of three fights for today.
I have yet to update the standings since I will wait
till all fights have been posted but I will have that
done by the end of the day. Anyway watch and see how
Nathaniel matches up against the filthy hobgoblin
Crwag! Crwag and
Nathaniel. Update: I have finished the second
fight of the week and it is now posted. Witness Calathra
and Whisper do battle. The last one is on its
way. Update: I have finished the last of the three
fights and it is posted. I would love to hear comments
about what everyone thinks. Witness the spectacle
that is Dis Loveth
and Melquiades. The fights for next week are done
and the standings have been updated.

Again I apologize for the delay in getting this one
out to you but it took longer than I thought because
I was astounded by the dice rolls. Anyway here it
is and I hope you enjoy it. As seems to be my current
trend I am pretty sure I messed up someone's tactics
but bare with me as I familiarize myself with the
rules that pertain to six different characters. Anyway,
see what happens when you put a halfling between a
rock and a hard place (hahahaha). Calathra
and Dis Loveth.

Although I said that I would put the other fight up
last night I was unable to... you see I got the game
Max Payne and it rocks!!! So I finished the fight
between Crwag
and Whisper today and I must say I am very proud
of it. I still plan on having the other fight up by
the end of the day. Please let me know what you think
of it. I also fixed an inconsistency in the other
fight. I was describing Nathaniel's weapon as a sword,
it was a mace. All changed now.
September 17, 2001
I have posted the results of the fight between Nathaniel
and Melquiades. I have also updated the next weeks
schedule. Please send me updated tactics for those
fights if you have any ASAP since I would like to
try and get the down before the weekend. I should
have the fight between Crwag and Whisper up before
the end of the day. That is a rather interesting fight
so stay tuned. I'll have the remaining fight up tomorrow
night.
September 13, 2001
We have the very first fight added to the Pit today.
Congratulations Calathra!! Check it out here.
In addition I have updated the standings and fight
roster to reflect the addition of three new characters!!!!
Whisper, Dis
Loveth of the Jarnack and Crwag
Raag.

I have little to say on yesterday's attrocities. My
heart goes out to those that have been affected and
I wish swift justice to those responsible. I have
also added a third character, Melquiades.
September 11, 2001
Ihave updated the How The Pit
Works page to give everyone a better idea of how
things works as well as rules on Animal Companions
and Magic Items. I have also updated the How
to join as a PC page. Hopefully I will get the
first fight posted soon.

I am going to be away for a week which means I won't
be able to do to much with regards to site updates.
I WILL have access to email (but not daily) so continue
to submit characters and I will review them and send
stats, etc. Hopefully when I return on the 10th of
September we can get the Pit into full swing. So far
I have two completed characters and 4 more just about
ready to go. Things are going good. The first fight
might be posted next week if I can get a chance but
if not it will be posted on the 10th. Thanks everyone
so far for all the interest you are showing and I
look forward to returning and continuing. Take care
and keep those submissions and emails coming!!
August 30, 2001
It has been a busy day. I have had three more submissions
for rather nice characters. So hopefully this Pit
will be in full swing soon. As for the first fight
I am waiting on information so as soon as I get it
the fight can begin.
August 29, 2001
I am adding a description of our first DM (Bret
Aber) and his first
match between two rather violent Orcs! I have
also added a new character to the combatants page,
Calathra Tealeaf!! We
have a fight looming on the horizon :)
August 28, 2001
I have added the first completed character to the
combatants page! Nathaniel Sather.
Hopefully soon with the addition of one more character
the combat can begin!!!
August 25, 2001
So far I have received a few character submissions
as well as a couple requests for DM's. I am pleased
with the interest expressed. Thanks you everyone and
keep those character submissions coming!!!
