    Maintaining Grim and Gritty Flavour!

    The following ideas are ALL adapted from firsthand experiences I have encountered in four years living in Indonesia. Living in this country offers a unique perspective on the garbage society can become. I would never use these in my campaign I am running here in Indonesia -- my players and...

    [OT] sociology paper- how does mainstream society view Gamers

    My first experience with the Totally Against person was two summers ago. In my youthful ignorance (now, of course, I am all grown up and all-knowing; unconquerable, and indomitable) I let a younger friend borrow one of my 2nd edition books. You can see where this is going; his parents, who...

    (OT - but too funny to miss!) Monty Python and the One Ring

    Thank you, oh great and mighty Morrus, for saving me from my faults. Figures that the first thread I'd create on these boards would end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Almost drives me back to being a proper lurker, darting in posts with furtive looks, afraid someone would catch me...

    (OT - but too funny to miss!) Monty Python and the One Ring

    Goto: Monty Python: The Fellowship of the Ring And read. And laugh. And get weird looks from those in the same room as you. excerpt: I'll say no more :)

    [OT] FREEDOM FORCE! (discussion)

    Just bought both Morrowind and Spiderman: The Movie. Turns out neither of them will work on my age-old video card, the once mighty, now dying voodoo 3. My solution is the expensive route; time for a new card! Alas, four years is a long time in computer terms, as we all know :). Poor card...

    I get my people inside the demiplane of Hope yesterday. A flurry of dragons and assorted other beasts show up at your doorstep, William. If you need to preserve space, just tell them to shrink into some small insect and watch your feet! . . . There, I've read thread 8, now I'll go back and...

    (IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 4)

    Edena, the weekend hath come and the chances that my personal computer at home will work is slim to none. I started a speech, but it doesn't live up to what I have to say; I'll use the weekend to compose it if I can't come on-line. It'll be big, I hope. For now, Anfaren is in Ravenloft and...

    (IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 4)

    The wind is howling. A brilliant cacophony of magic has risen throughout the worlds, throughout the multiverse. Once more a sweeping fire of arcane powers will wash upon and over the rocky backbones of nations. Somewhere on Oerth lies an island. A glowing, heavily layered shield is risen...

    (IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 3)

    I am finally on-line! And watching worlds, alliances, and plans tumble about me. Quick quick: Edena, I UNCORRUPT the Calimshan from the Shade's control. I am hoping to make this my 11th 'corrupted' faction. Right, that's what I needed right away. More to come - I spent my spare time just...

    (IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 1b)

    No, no no! Lost a huge response message :) All right, retype. I'll be a bit briefer, alas. My 11th magic action for this new turn: I give my people a modified form of the viewpoint magic, giving them full control over their new abilites. Parents and/or guardians control the abilites of...

    (IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 1b)

    Edena, I work against the Shade agents to the best of my ability, using agents of the Church of Toril and public speakers. I remind them that until now Calimshan has preformed well with the UC, and that shadow agents have threatened Toril for a long, long time. This is only their newest...

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Plant brains... Hey, as an aside (to this greater and quite entertaining aside), and while we are speaking of plants, why don't you three fighting among the skies come down and help my people take care of our children? Whenever they don't want to eat their vegetables, they...

    (IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 1b)

    Edena, working with the dragons (who are known for their expertise in such things) and with 11th level magic I give my entire power the ability to shapchange at will. The skies over Dragon Isle are filled with dragons, and the surronding oceans with dolphins and whales as my people are...

    11th level magic actions Geysers of pure Oerthblood gush forth from the rocks of Dragon isle and on the Celestial Plains. They roar to the heavens and dissipate as they touch the air, spreading out across miles a healing mist that rejuvinates the land and air. (Action 1) The church of Toril...

    (IR) IR Interlude Turn 6 - Turn 7 (thread 4)

    Jand walks into the conference hall. He is no angel. He cannot grow tall enough to shatter a roof. He is not an Archcleric, an avatar, nor a chosen of some god. Compared in power with the other delegates at the peace conference he is a nothing. He will not pretend otherwise. It is safe to...

    (IR) IR Interlude Turn 6 - Turn 7 (thread 4)

    Whew. Thanks for the massive response list, Edena -- I'm starting to get afraid. As usual in diplomacy, everything is going completely wrong in just a few seconds. Have to admit I'm feeling afraid. Very afraid. Oh, and that old man and his Kobolds are from an old adventure IMC -- a lighter...

    Back at the Conference Anfaren stands with Kalanyr, Sanctus, Regina, Brohagan, and Baeron to show his solidarity with his allies. He claps long and hard. At the next best opportunity he takes the podium from Kalanyr. 'I will be brief. 'I urge the people of Toril to listen to us. I ask them...

    Preface: This is a post of selfish character development. Be warned. Chrysalis The mists hung thick in the skies. Ash fell everywhere, hurled from uncountable volcanic maws. The skies roared with lightning and thunder – yet no rain fell. The air was dead. It tasted of demise...

    (IR) IR Interlude Turn 6 - Turn 7 (thread 3)

    Meeting Point Anfaren, cleric of the shattered Lendore Isles, begs to take the floor. Quickly he flashes a smile at the many delegates attendant at this meeting, the first in what feels like a great, long while. 'I am afraid Jand is... indisposed at the moment.' Anfaren begins. He coughs...
