Back in the olden days (1 and 2e), I was about the only one in my group that regularly played humans. I liked them because they didn't really have all of the nifty advantages of the other races (other than dual classing: 4 levels of fighter with weapon specialization, then mage, baby--lots of...

<shakes head in admiration> Heh, subtle. You rock, Sep.

I've dabbled a bit with several of the so-called 'internal' Chinese arts: mostly Tai Chi ('standard form' and Yang, but not much), but also Pa Kua and Hsing-I. I have a little (very little) experience with Wing Chun and a Chinese form similar to Aikido (though the name escapes me right now)...

Just a bump *Bump*

Wow... ummm.... wow. If this is the case, hats off to PC for being such a rat-bastard, and to Pyske for figuring it out on so few clues. In fact, even if it's not the case, hats off to Pyske for a darn good 'conspiracy theory'.

Now *this* was what I was wondering; trust Mordenkainen to solve the problem (and Sagiro to remember where the solution is...). This spell takes care of the buffscrytel at the cost of a 5th level spell slot for when you bed down (or home use), and a Persistent Nondetection (or something...

Thanks, but the credit goes more to Sepulchrave; reading his story hour is inspiring. (Edited to correct spelling)

In-game changes? A lot of people have suggested metagame solutions (changing the way the spells themselves work), and that's fine--it's according to your taste how you rule zero. I disagree (sort of) with KidC when she says that you shouldn't punish the players for being creative: if you've...

Whoa... I know I'm 'way out of date here, but I just found this thread (on a re-read of Sagiro's SH to catch up on plot threads I missed the first time). The Hungry Caterpillar knock-off is my favorite (as someone who has had to read that @%#&!* book on the order of 100 times!). Edited to add...

Re: Notes from Mir Much kudos on the roleplaying here; not only does Black Omega do a great job telling the story, but the excellent roleplaying (by *all* of the players) make this a great story to read. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us!

Re: Re: Yeah Having just read some of the new story hour stuff Sagiro and Sep put up (and the above), I see where I misunderstood. I also didn't mean to imply that the players aren't mature or philosophical--the mood just seems to be lighter and less serious in the Company and DoD campaigns...

Yeah Yeah, 'maturity' isn't quite the correct word for what I meant, but I find that my vocabulary is frequently lacking the correct words; I think I used the 'mature' because Sagiro used 'adolescent'. Perhaps '...for his more philosophical players...' is a better way to convey the meaning...

in anticipation... Will there be a new thread?

Whoa, now! Whoa, now! Let's not be hasty here. I'm sure that this is just one of those over-harsh self-criticisms intelligent/creative people are prone to, but for my money, Sagiro's story hour is one of the best examples of a long-story-arc campaign I've ever seen (similar to the old...

IIRC, Keldas never had the staff; it was created (and lost) by his ancestors and it's fallen to him to recover it.
