That's a goooood question. Since it was kind of a sandbox one-off, nobody had bothered so far. Someone might pick up the mantle though. It's not impossible that I will do it, but I don't think it's likely either. It's a lot of work and I could use a break. On the other hand, I'm not sure how...

We were as much "driven out" as we were just denied motivation and unsure why we were there. The whole setup was that we were attacked by the Winnowers and eventually a lead showed up saying they were at the temple. And they were. And we were a little uncomfortable doing a full-on assault of an...

"So, this is how it ends?" We were scheduled to play over the weekend. And we kind of tried to. The summary of circumstances goes like this: Me: "We need to work out the details on Alakast." Wizardru: "Yeah, true. I'll work something up and send it to you" Dravot: "I got an idea: We forget...

Well a leaking hot water heater got us this week. Not sure if you'd call that a "life". Hey if you know somebody, we'd be more than happy to playtest it. Probably provide some decent feedback too - a decent cross section in our group.

Setting my writing aside, the gods have cursed us. We've had to abort a few planned sessions the last few weeks and won't have another for this game for a few more due to vacations. Such is life sometimes. We used to lose most of August because two of our group tended to attend a certain war...

Thank you for the kind words. Writing is a continual evolution and experiment, and I try to make it interesting and strike certain balances and yet continue to evolve. As for the... oddities, I think you'll see less of them. Wizardru has has about enough of the patent silliness with this last...

My experience has been somewhat to the contrary. Blow-by-blow descriptions of combat tend to get bogged down in a lot of details. They can also suffer from timing issues since from a game-perspective, everyone moves in rotation but that usually makes for really hard reading since the reader can...

Nah. At least no more than usual. Just the "writer's ennui" that has recently been surfacing and was previously mentioned.

No he wasn't.

Hm. I'm not sure I'd agree. Ralishaz has no real leverage over most of the more earthly meepites. Dravot is the obvious exception. It's at the same time likely to know the most, and yet intervene the least. Scorch would, I would think, view a demon army on the prime as a curiosity but wouldn't...

What Wizardru said re: the Meepites not being together. We still talk surely, but we don't roll together. Each one is off tending to their own duties and interests. The reverse side of that is the whole Redgorge siege. I would fully expect that the news of that little event would draw some...

True dat. I left out a bunch of stuff for various reasons. Some just due to volume - a bridge session like this can have a lot of unrelated things that don't weave together well in a story format and so I was looking for edits to make. The new Lucky Monkey management is Ember. As in "Scorch's...

Background on a rainy Wednesday: The Scaled Council: The Council is an organization of dragons who's primary purpose was to maintain some semblance of peace between the metallic (good) and chromatic (evil) dragons. After earlier historical dragon wars the Council was founded. The history goes...

No you don't get the shield bonus from both. It's a shield bonus and two shield bonuses (like most other named bonuses) won't stack. There is a problem with your concept, and maybe it matters and maybe it doesn't (only you can say). AC is hard to raise compared to attack value or damage. Some...

The Secrets of Stone - Chapter 1 The Secrets of Stone – Chapter 1 OOC Notes: Exp is 1500 this week for everyone. This Week’s Adventure: There was a tension in the air of Cauldron that was more palpable. The discontent over taxes had crossed the threshold between words and action, and people...
