So I followed some of the best of the 'classic' story hours here back in the day (like, 2001 back in the day), and I started copying and pasting some of those into Word documents for easy offline reading. I kept it up as the stories progressed, and I now have the entire story hours of...

I don't believe that the articles of the Injunction were ever provided in this story hour, so I don't have them. But I do have a Word/PDF version of the entire story hour. I'm happy to share it if Sepulchrave doesn't mind.

Fantastic! Thanks.

Null shadows stats? Does anyone have the null shadows stats? Is that something I can ask for here? I seem to recall two versions of them, one regular, one beefed up. Perhaps someone could email them to me? I'd like to use them in my next session. Thanks.

When a PC has their Str drained by Ray of Enfeeblement, how does that affect their movement? I know the rules for decreased movement (below), but what about max load? Table: Carrying Loads –—— Speed —–— Load Max Dex Check Penalty (30 ft.) (20 ft.) Run Medium +3 –3 20 ft. 15 ft. x4 Heavy...

Wycen - I remember reading the rules very carefully when that happened during the combat. I don't have the book with me now, but I recall it being pretty clear that when a party member kills someone who is helpless due to the Calming Aura, you lose the feat. I could have sought atonement, but...

As a player & DM, I'd like to chime in if I may. I'm running monk with the Vow of Poverty now, and he started out with the Vow of Peace. It made things interesting for a while, but overall I don't think it worked for our group for several reasons: 1. It makes combat more difficult, with the 20'...

I would allow all but the Dragon Shaman; am I the only one who thinks it's overpowered? Unless I'm reading it wrong, he can grant all party members w/in 30' a Fire Shield that does 2 damage / round to melee opponents. That's at 1st level, and it can remain active all the time. The type of damage...

Piratecat, Sagiro, et al, I have everything but the very last post in a Word doc. No comments, just Sagiro's posts. Would Sagiro want me to post them here, do you think? Or would it be better to wait for him to do it? I assume that StevenAC could also do this, which would have the advantage of...

1. What happens when the primary target of Chain Lightning has spell resistance, and the caster fails to penetrate it? Does the spell end there, or does the spell somehow play about the primary target's body and arc to secondary targets? 2. What happens when the primary target has Improved...

Issue resolved! "Poppa Was a Catcher" was published in 1987 by Steven Gould in the anthology Cities in Space (which I now own, btw). I finally started searching online by the first line of the poem, and changed the spelling from "papa" to "poppa". This led me to a link suggesting an author...

Plot? Not a clue. Principle characters? Not a one. Anything remotely substantive regarding the setting of the book? Nope. The silly poem (which I believe referred to the main protagonist, but was not referred to elsewhere in the novel in any way)? I've barely forgotten a word. I suppose its the...

Yeah. I guess not many folks have read this book.

In the summer of 1985, I read a science fiction book that contained a poem entitled, "The Ballad of Baby Boo". I cannot recall the title or author of the book, but it was a fictional work of a noirish sort. I have reprinted what I recall below. If you can help me identify the book, I will be...

Dark days, indeed. Sagiro's story hour hasn't been updated in over two months. Sepulchrave, Sagiro, Piratecat and (contact) - perhaps the best of them, and their threads have turned to dust. It's hard to be critical - these are folks with families and careers, goals and problems (just like the...
