About Us
Our Showroom
Buying Guide
Contact Us
Mail Order Rugs have been online since 2005 and in 2008 we added a specialist rug outlet the Funky Rug Shop in the Northeast of England so that our many customers can also visit us in person. We have been selling rugs for over twelve years and our staff have many years experience in sourcing and selling rugs, so if you have any questions you know that you will be getting good advice.
Making choosing easy
The range we have on offer is huge, with all kinds of shapes, colours, textiles and textures to choose from so there is bound to be something for everyone. For those new to buying rugs by mail order, the system is simplicity itself. On the home page are three categories which will help you to make your selection. These are style, colour and shape. When you click on one of them – for example, 'shaggy' – you will be taken to the page where all the shaggy rugs on offer are listed and on that page there are more choices you can make, to make your choice more specific. You will be able to choose colour, size and even the brand. In this way, with just a few clicks you can find the rug you want. It is easy to go back and start again and just think – you can do all this without leaving the house!
Mix and Match your décor
Sometimes it can be a problem when you go shopping for rugs or cushions to know whether you have got the colour right. Going to the shops with a bundle of swatches can be a bit cumbersome and some shops have such unusual lighting conditions it is sometimes hard to tell. Although some computer monitors don't always have totally accurate colour reproduction, it is even so far easier to take the rug to the setting (by moving your laptop) than to take the setting to the rug. You can have a lot of fun looking through the different colour choices on offer – and there are loads to choose from – until you find the perfect rug for your room. Many of our customers find that they come across the perfect colour to cheer up a dark corner or to brighten a neutral room by browsing in a colour way they would not even contemplate if they saw it in a shop. Be bold – have fun!
Size is important
Mail Order Rugs stock rugs of all sizes, from doormat size to a mighty 240x340 cm – for those who don't think metric, that is approximately 8 feet by 12 feet. There are very few shops which can manage to have rugs in so many sizes all in stock (we have almost fifty sizes in total) but because we store our stock from a large warehouse and also order from our suppliers in bulk, size is not a problem for us. Because our postage prices are based on the cost of the rug and not its weight or size, the larger rugs in our range usually come with free delivery – some addresses are not included in this offer, so please check the delivery prices.
The price is right
When you browse our rug range, you will notice that our prices are very reasonable but there is no need to worry about the quality of the rug of your choice. We can keep our prices low by buying in bulk, not by compromising on manufacture or materials. There is also no need to be concerned that our rugs have been made by exploited workers, all our rugs are sourced correctly and supplied by trusted manufacturers. With many of our rugs priced at under £20, you can give your home a little lift or a major makeover without breaking the bank.
Help when you need it
Buying a rug is not something you do every day and if you are making a fairly big purchase you may feel that you need a bit of help. In a shop of course that would come from the sales person but don't worry – we are here to help in just the same way. If you need to know anything about the materials, manufacture or even what rug is best where. Our staff have many years of experience in selling and sourcing floor coverings and they will get back to you with advice as soon as possible. If you are still unsure about whether you are making the right choice, don't worry; we have a no quibble returns policy, so you won't be stuck with a rug which is after all not quite what you wanted.
Delivery & Returns
With the exception of Northern Ireland, the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and some other offshore addresses, postage is free for orders over £50. We aim to deliver within seven to twelve days and we have a no quibble return policy. We know that sometime a rug will prove to be unsuitable for some reason and as long as the item is undamaged, we will be pleased to have it returned to us and give a full refund. All we ask you to do is to carefully repack the rug in the original packaging and send it back at your own cost. Faulty goods are a separate issue and we ask that you let us know as soon as you notice anything is not as it should be. For this reason, it is a wise precaution to check that your rug is undamaged before you sign for it. Checking the packaging is important – if you think an item has been damaged in transit, let us know as soon as possible.

(USA Today) LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Robert Waddell says he's glad the stem cells that healed him came from "a guy who was 50 years old" and not a human embryo.
As a Catholic, Waddell opposes the destruction of embryos and didn't want to rely on embryonic stem cells to cure his kidney disease. But he avoided this moral dilemma by getting bone marrow stem cells from a friend who donated a kidney as part of a University of Louisville study.
"It has nothing to do with embryonic stem cells," said Waddell, a 47-year-old father of four. "That made it a lot easier."
Recent strides in stem-cell research show adult stem cells to be ever-more-promising, many scientists say, quelling the controversy steeped in faith and science that has long surrounded embryonic stem cells.
In fact, University of Louisville researcher Scott Whittemore said the debate is almost moot.
"Realistically, (many scientists don't use) the types of stem cells that are so problematic anymore," he said, adding that adult stem cells can now be reprogrammed to behave like embryonic stem cells. "The field has moved so fast."
In addition to these genetically reprogrammed adult cells — known as induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells — scientists are on the cusp of being able to turn one type of cell into another in the body without using stem cells at all. They shared some of the latest research last week at the annual International Society for Stem Cell Research in Vancouver.
"IPS cells overcame the main ethical issues," namely the use of embryos some Americans consider sacred human life, said Brett Spear, a professor of microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics at the University of Kentucky who uses iPS cells to model liver disease.
But other scientists argue that embryonic stem cell research remains important.
Dr. George Daley, director of the stem cell transplant program at Boston Children's Hospital and past president of the research society, said embryonic cells are a tool in the search for cures.
While all stem cells offer the possibility of a renewable source of "replacement" cells and tissues, the various types promise to treat different conditions. "These are all different approaches," he said, "and they are complementary, not competitive."
In the study Waddell joined, led by Dr. Suzanne Ildstad, specially processed stem cells from kidney donors help recipients' immune systems recognize donated organs as their own.
Waddell, who suffered from polycystic kidney disease, was successfully weaned off all anti-rejection medicines a year after his kidney transplant in 2009.
"Hopefully, my kidney will stay healthy in the long run," he said. "Right now, I feel better and younger than I did before."
Years of research
Scientists first discovered ways to take stem cells from mouse embryos in 1981, and 17 years later learned how to derive them from human embryos and grow them in the lab. They come from eggs fertilized not in a woman's body but in in-vitro clinics, which are then donated for research instead of being stored or destroyed.
These cells, from days-old embryos, give rise to every organ and tissue in the body, and as such "were the gold standard for all stem cells," said Daniel Peterson, director of the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University in Chicago.
But besides raising ethical concerns for many, doctors say embryonic stem cells pose practical problems. Biologically, they may spark tumors or be rejected by the body because they do not come from the patient.
And researchers faced limits on studying them for years. President George W. Bush restricted federal funding to a small number of embryonic stem-cell lines created before Aug. 9, 2001, a policy that President Barack Obama overturned in 2009.
Meanwhile, progress continued unabated on adult stem cells, which come from many places in the body — such as the brain, bone marrow, blood vessels and skin. Their primary role is to repair the tissue in which they are found.
But scientists have tended to view the potential of adult stem cells as limited, thinking they could only become types of cells within the tissue where they originated, meaning a stem cell within the heart could be a heart muscle cell but not a brain cell.
Human iPS cells, which first came on the scene in late 2007, promise to change all that because they seem to offer all of the benefits of embryonic stem cells and none of the drawbacks. They come from a patient, so they don't raise ethical issues or bring the risk of rejection that cells from outside the patient would bring.
Scientists say far more research is needed, but many are using iPS cells to create "diseases in a dish" that can be studied or used to test drugs. They envision someday using these cells in transplants and to treat diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
"IPS cells are certainly all the rage," Daley said. "For all intents and purposes, they are the equivalent of the embryonic stem cells."
Mixed response
Opponents of embryonic stem cell research are cheering researchers' progress with adult stem cells.
"If they can (forge ahead with them), I don't know why they wouldn't," said Martin Cothran, a senior policy analyst with the Family Foundation of Kentucky who said even using existing stem cell lines that can be traced to human embryos is unethical. "This has to do with human life."
The Rev. Tadeusz Pacholczyk, education director at the National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia and a former neuroscientist, said the progress using adult stem cells makes sense ethically and scientifically.
"The embryonic variety are much more hard to control," he said. "The adult stem cells have more stability."
Richard Doerflinger of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said the new developments bear out what he told a congressional hearing on stem cell research in 1998. "We felt that pursuing research that required destroying embryos was ethically wrong," he said. "It could be pursued in other ways, and those ways are equally promising."
But some scientists and groups advocating for cures say they don't want to close the door to embryonic stem cell research because it may offer the best hope for people with certain conditions, such as Type I diabetes.
The advocacy group Stem Cell Action Coalition said scientists are studying these cells to treat a host of other diseases, too, such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, spinal cord injury, stroke, blindness, AIDS, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's. They say patients have already benefited from embryonic stem cell treatments for conditions that can lead to blindness.
"I'm not one who says we can just turn our backs on embryonic stem cells. ... I don't know what will prove most effective in the clinic," Daley said. "We're going to see a whole bunch of things from iPS cells, and I bet we'll see some from embryonic stem cells. It's still very early in the field."
Bill Murphy, co-director of the Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where the first human embryonic stem cells were isolated, agreed.
"The advances in human iPS cells are really quite exciting," he said. "But I would say there's remaining value in human embryonic stem cell research."
Scientists say it's difficult to predict what will happen in the future, since the field is still changing rapidly. Whittemore said some of the most innovative work involves using protein "factors" to turn one type of cell into another — say, a skin cell into a neuron. "That way," Whittemore said, "you're skipping the stem cell step."
Despite all this progress, Daley said, people shouldn't expect widespread cures from the latest advances soon.
"I can't say there are going to be cures in two to five years, but I see them in the future," he said. "In 25 years, it could be a whole new world."

Here in TheBeautyPlace.com offices, we refer to "frizz" as "the other 'F' word." And, as our home-base is Miami, Florida, our hair succumbs to the not-so-positive effects of humid heat all too often.
So, we were slightly amused to hear that some of the world's leading hairstylists (such as Orlando Pita and Guido) have taken on the mission of inviting women to embrace the fuzz by making it bigger and better than ever.
"Say what?!" We hear your cry? We KNOW! We reply. We couldn't believe it either. But, having reviewed the runways we can tell you: it's true.
And here, our essential five products for embracing–and rocking–the frizz.
- Thickening Lotion:Apply to damp hair to give body and texture. We recommend BioSilk Thickening Creme.
- Volumizing Mousse: Apply to damp hair to give hold. We like Big Sexy Root Pump Plus Volumizing Spray Mousse.
- Dry Shampoo or Texturizing Spray: Spray on dry hair until you get a chalky, powdery feeling and then tease. One of our faves is CHI Infra Texture Dual Action Hair Spray.
- Boar-and-Nylon Hairbrush: Adds volume and fluff when used for teasing. It's also less damaging than a comb.
- Hairspray: Spritz your favorite hairspray (we like TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Firm Hold Hairspray) on a brush to help tame flyaways, or spray directly onto teased hair to help maintain height.

ATLANTA — Birth control options are growing for women 40 and older — a group that once viewed its choices as pretty much limited to tube-tying surgery and condoms.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
For them, the pill is back. So is the IUD. The reason is that both are safer. There's even a nonsurgical method of tube-tying.
Such options have long been needed, experts say, because 40- and 50-somethings are a complex group. Some have had several children and are willing to have sterilization surgery. Others may want children, but not right now.
'One size definitely does not fit all'
Traditionally, women 40 and older are the least likely to use birth control. Along with adolescents, they have the highest rates of abortion. At the same time, these women are more experienced at using contraception and follow instructions better.
When it comes to contraceptives for women 40 and older, "one size definitely does not fit all," said Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president for medical affairs of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
The risk is even greater for overweight women, who also are more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes.
But the dosage of estrogen in current birth control pills has been dramatically reduced. The pill is now considered a safe alternative for lean, healthy, older women Kaunitz and other experts said.
"It may not be well known that the current low-dose formulations are a reasonable option for healthy women in their 40s," said Dr. JoAnn Manson, a Harvard endocrinologist who wrote a book on menopausal hormone therapy.
The pill may be preferable for some women, because it can help control irregular menstrual bleeding and hot flashes and has been shown to reduce hip fractures and ovarian cancer, wrote Kaunitz. He has received fees or grants from several companies that make oral contraceptives.
But middle-aged women who are obese, smoke, have migraines, high blood pressure or certain other risk factors should be steered toward IUDs or progestin-only treatments like "mini-pills," experts said.
Nonsurgical sterilization
Higher breast cancer rates have been reported in older women who took estrogen-progestin pills for menopause. However, studies did not find an increased breast cancer risk in women 35 and older who took oral contraceptives.
The most common form of contraception for women 40 and older continues to be sterilization — a category that counts tubal ligations (tube-tying) in women as well as vasectomies in their male partners.
Increasingly, gynecologists are offering a newer type of tubal ligation that is nonsurgical. The procedure, called Essure, was approved by the government in 2002. Instead of cutting through the abdomen to cut and tie the fallopian tubes, a doctor works through the cervix, using a thin tube to thread small devices into each fallopian tube. These cause scarring, which in about three months plugs the tubes, stopping eggs from the ovaries from reaching the uterus.
Also relatively new is a product called Implanon, approved by the government in 2006. It's a matchstick-sized plastic rod, placed under the skin of the upper arm, that is a more modern cousin of Norplant and can last about three years.
"Things have definitely changed. There are a lot more options for older women than there used to be," said Dr. Erika Banks, director of gynecology at New York City's Montefiore Medical Center.
Choosing the right contraception can be a bit of an odyssey, said Lisa Riley, a 44-year-old who works in Banks' medical practice. Last week, Riley got a new IUD.
When she was younger, she took the pill. It worked, but she stopped it to have kids — twins — in 1993. She was nervous about returning to the pill because of worries about a possible cancer risk. For about a year, she and her husband used condoms, but he got tired of that, Riley said.
She had friends on IUDs so she chose that option. It worked well for several years until it began to cause heavy menstrual bleeding. After Banks advised her to get a new one, she chose Mirena, a version that releases hormones and should last for five years.
For now, Riley doesn't plan any more children. But she wasn't ready for sterilization. "It's too permanent for me," she said.

text: EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. Heads up: contains some graphic imagery of the day-today reality for many animals. Just watch the first 20 minutes if you can't handle the rest.

Street Fighter fans will be pleased to hear that a feast of new content arrives for SFV this weekend (July 1).
A much anticipated update will add cult favourite Balrog, Ibuki and the fabled story mode - a first for the 20-year-old Capcom fighting franchise.
And that's not all there will also be additional costumes and new stages thrown into the mix when it goes live on Friday at 9am.
It was a major disappointment when the likes of Blanka, Sagat and Balrog were excluded from the Street Fighter V roster on release.
Capcom said it was to give the game more balance and variety.
Well at least now we have Balrog who is one of the most iconic characters in Street Fighter history (and blatantly based on Mike Tyson in his pomp).
He first appeared as one of the Four Kings of Shadaloo in Street Fighter II as a boss character. He's always been one of the most vicious characters to ever appear in the series, using his devastating boxing style to knock out his opponents.
Ibuki, the young female ninja-in-training seeking to live the normal life of a modern teenager, also returns in the update.
Balrog's story costume and premium battle costume will become available after the update as will all character Battle Costumes on through the PlayStation Store.
The classic Las Vegas stage from Street Fighter II also returns as the streets are lined with neon signs once again.
The action heats up as the Kanzuki Family Private Beach will now be available as an all new battle stage.
Juri and Urien will be available to play with in the exciting all new Cinematic Story Mode but are not quite ready for official release.
Early reports online suggest the story mode isn't what many thought it would be - ie pick a character and play through their story beating your way through the roster before getting to the boss like in the old days.
Instead you play through a set story which intertwines all the characters together and you have no choice over which character you are.
If that is the case it is a little disappointing but I'll reserve judgement until I've had a chance to play through it myself.

New Amsterdam Market May Relocate to Manhattan Bridge Archway in Dumbo
Robert LaValva has been lobbying to get the New Amsterdam Market inside the old Fulton Fish Market at the South Street Seaport for a while, but for a handful of reasons, it hasn't worked out. Now he's hoping to take the market—what he envisions to be a super-sized Greenmarket that runs year-round indoors, kind of like London's Borough Market or Philadelphia's Reading Terminal—to Dumbo. The archway under the Manhattan Bridge, formerly a dumping ground for the Department of Transportation, could be that new home.
According to The Architect Newspaper, the tentative debut is June 28. But as Curbed reminds us, it's really not a done deal yet.

Nvidia details GF100 graphics beastie
Minus the price - and the speed
Nvidia has released additional details on its upcoming GF100 graphics processor, and if the GPU performs as well in reality as it does on paper, AMD/ATI's Radeon HD 5000 series may have a worthy competitor.
The GF100 will be Nvidia's first to be based on the company's muscular Fermi architecture, which features such niceties as scores of CUDA (compute unified device architecture) cores and ECC (error-correcting code) support. Fermi will find its way into a variety of products destined for both desktops and HPC rigs. The GF100 will be the first game-centric part.
According to Nvidia, the GF100 is "designed for gaming performance leadership." To help accomplish this goal, the GF100 implements all of Windows 7's DirectX 11 hardware APIs. Nvidia is especially proud of the GF100's support for DirectX 11's tessellation capabilities, which it asserts will allow for more-complex geometry and animation, including enhanced fluid effects and more-realistic hair effects.
In contrast to Nvidia's earlier GT200 architecture, the GF100 takes a more-distributed approach to tessellation. This improved distribution and parallelization results in a 8X improvement in tessellation performance than the GT200, according to the company's internal benchmarks.
Also supported will be DirectX 11's DirectCompute APIs, which developers can use to offload such highly parallelized tasks such as media processing from a system's CPU to the GF100.
Although GF100 technology will find eventually find its way into less-ambitious parts, the full-bore spec released this Sunday includes 512 CUDA cores arrayed in four graphics processing clusters (GPCs), each of which contain four streaming multiprocessors (SMs).
Each of those wee green squares is a processing core - there are 512 of them
Each SM contains 32 CUDA processors, four times more than the company's previous SM designs. Each CUDA processor has both an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and a floating point unit (FPU). The FPUs are based on the IEEE 754-2008 floating-point standard using the fused multiply-add (FMA) instruction, which Nvidia claims provides improved precision over the older multiply-add (MAD) instruction, minimizing rendering errors in closely overlapping triangles.
Four GPCs each have four SMs communicating with a with a unified raster engine
Each SM also includes four special function units (SFUs), which Nvidia says are used for such functions as sine, cosine, reciprocal, square root, and graphics interpolation. All the SFUs' math mojo, according to Nvidia, is especially helpful for complex procedural shaders.
Each SM has 32 CUDA cores - that's 4X the cores of its previous generation
Also inside those 16 SMs is what Nvidia call its PolyMorph Engine, which includes, among other items, the GF100's tesselators. Placing a tesselator in each SM allows the bandwidth of the tessellation to be greatly increased - which accounts for much of that aforementioned 8X bump over the tesselation performance of the GT200.
Each SM also has its own 64KB of L1 cache, plus the GF100 as a whole has 768KB of fully coherent, read/write L2 cache - a step up from the GT200, where the 256KB L2 was read-only for the texture engine. According to Nvidia, this improved cache architecture will not only help texture coverage, but will also boost the GF100's compute performance.
Word on the street is that the GF100 will be available in late March. Unfortunately, Nvidia has remained silent about how much the part will cost and how much power it will consume - meaning how much of a power-supply and cooling-system upgrade you may be facing. Even the part's clock rate remains under wraps.
For more detail on the GF100, check out HardOCP's excellent "Deep Dive," or download Nvidia's own white papers detailing the GF100 and the Fermi compute architecture. ®

More adults sharing beds with infants, increasing child's risk of death
The number of caregivers who share a bed with an infant – which increase the child's risk of death – has more than doubled between 1993 and 2010, according to the National Institutes of Health and other institutions.
Based on responses from nearly 20,000 caregivers, researchers found that roughly 14 percent of infants shared a bed with another person. Although they were much less likely to shared a bed if they perceived their physicians were against the practice, more than half of the caregivers surveyed since 2006 reported that they had not received advice from their doctor about bed sharing.
"It's important for doctors to discuss sleeptime habits with new parents in order to convey the risks of bed sharing clearly," said Marian Willinger, Ph.D., study co-author and special assistant for SIDS at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
SIDS – or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome – is the unexplained death of a child within his or her first year. As a result, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants sleep in the same room, but not in the same bed, as caregivers.
Researchers found that bed-sharing became more common among all ethnic and racial groups. Among white infants, the proportion of those usually bed-sharing increased from 4.9 percent in 1993 to 9.1 percent in 2010. For Hispanic infants, the percent rose from 12.5 percent to 20.5 percent. With African-American infants, the percentage jumped from 21.2 percent to 38.7 percent.

I've done a bit of studying around and I think I've grasped the basics, but if you could walk me through more nuances of spray painting, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Objective: Spray paint on steel (and a little bit of plastic) for:
- semi-gloss finish
- high durability (chip, scratch, rust resistant)
- wet-cleanable (I think the semi-gloss coating should allow this)
My current procedure:
- Cover areas not to be painted with paper and tape.
- Scuff the surface down with 100-grit sandpaper. [1]
- Wipe clean.
- Prime. [2]
- Apply color coating. Let dry.
- Sand with 400-grit and apply another coat. 400-grit sand again. [3]
- ???
- Finished.
[1]: How do I know when I'm done with this pre-processing step? Do I have to scuff and remove the manufacturer's coat until I see the bare metal? Or do I just remove a significant part of it? If you feel like you have time, can you name some reasons why I would want to do this? I imagine my primer/coating would stick better to metal than on top of another coating, but I'm not sure.
[2]: How much priming is enough? Should I be picky about primer choice?
[3]: I presume that this process gives the semi-glossy finish I want, but I don't see how multiple coat + fine sanding is going to achieve it. Will it really? Or do I finish with the color coating first, then apply a glossy enamel coat on top?

Windows Update – "For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update"
When you start Windows Update on your Windows 2008 R2 (or Windows 2008, or Windows 7) machine, you can see in the middle of the window it says "You receive updates: For Windows Only".
Maybe it's OK for somebody, but….not for me :).
If you have MS SQL Server or Exchange Server (or any other Microsoft product) installed on this machine, you probably would like to see (I definitely want to see :)) "Windows Update" checks for updates for all products, not JUST for Windows.
So, the easy way to fix this "issue" and get a message: "You receive updates: For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update" is to go to http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-US and accept agreements needed to get Microsoft Update.
Create bootable USB drive for Hyper-V Server 2008 R2
Microsoft allowed to build Bootable USB Drive with Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 on it.
Here is an official manual how to do that: USB creation process detailed.
You can download a GUI that should simplify the creation process from MSDN web site, but for whatever reason this GUI doesn't work for me (I spend a lot of hours on it. Maybe it'll work for you).
So, because I had problems with this GUI, I decided to build my own automotive process :). I've built a script that does all steps from official MS document and compiled it into EXE file.
More details here: http://www.itstuff.ca/2009/12/create-bootable-usb-drive-for-hyper-v.html

I doubt I'll be able to do that any time soon with my current group (we're more than halfway through Shadowfell Keep) so I thought I'd give play-by-post a chance. I've done several games like this over the years but this would be my first in 4th edition. Anyone running a 4th edition PBP game?
I'm also interested in playing in a pbp 4e game.
Can't be any worse than a PnP 4E LMFAO. I really do detest this new system, sorry don't mean to troll/flame it's just that I lost my group of 10 years because I can't bring myself to enjoy it. I feel very smothered as a player and almost pointless as a DM. It feels like a long terrible game of minitures to me. And while I do enjoy a good game of mini's it will never compare to the depth and love I've had for a real D&D game.
Hmm, in my experience as a DM in both editions, I would say the best RPG is one that won't get in your way. I actually think that 4e does a pretty good job of letting you roleplay the way you want.
Sure, you CAN play it as just a strategic minis game, but in PbP it's all about the roleplaying and the game mechanics are in the background. I think 4e makes it pretty easy to do those rolls (saving throws simplified, minions are much easier, fairly limited abilities of each creature).
Anyone willing to DM something like this? I see lots of 3.0 and 3.5 PbPs here but nothing for 4e.
Tag, you're it
Au gibet noir, manchot aimable, dansent, dansent les paladins
Les maigres paladins du diable les squelettes de Saladins.
I think it would be fun to play in pbp 4e game. I would enjoy that, somewhat i guess.
I'd play.
I am just being cynical, thats all.
I would actually have fun playing, but I wouldn't want to DM a play-by-post game. I am trying to make a real game get going, and its not going well.
To end, I sense a decline in your ability to keep a straight face...(I am not implying anything.)
Well, we're in luck! There are quite a few 4e PbP games going on over at UnlimitedRPGs.com, one of the few gaming sites (including this one) I can actually access at work. I just joined one myself.
Do we need to join the site to play thougH? Is this 4e pbp game going to go on or is it not being run?
Kudos for Kudos! WAAHHHHHHH!
Sorry about that. I am too excited about something...
Well, for that site, yes, you would need to register. They have many games going on and new ones starting all the time.
Since nobody here expressed any interest in DMing, I pretty much gave up on a group from this board....

Tag - Statues Of St J / St R / Pilgrims >>
Being the route to St James there are plenty of statues of him along the way! There are also statues of pilgrims (often in medieval gear) and statues of St Roque who was pretty nice to pilgrims.
The reason I've not differentiated between these is that St James is often dressed as a Pilgrim and vice versa so it's hard to tell sometimes who the statue is!
Typical medieval pilgrim gear consists of a big hat with a shell on the front, a cloak/cape thing often with shells on it, a big walking stick/staff and a water gourd. I think they also carried some kind of box with a letter from their local priest and they may even have collected some letters along the way as proof of their walk or maybe it was for holding their compostela in?
I must say I was a bit jealous of their lack of big rucksacks, although apparently they didn't wash the entire way until one town outside Santiago which sounds a bit smelly!
St Roque apparently ran a pilgrim hospital until he got some kind of horrible leg disease after which he went ot live out in some woods with his dog who brought him food. You can usually spot him as he is showing off the wound on his leg but he is generally dressed as a pilgim also!
