    Gary Gygax has passed. RIP beloved father of RPG's. (merged)

    Dear Gary, I'm sorry that I'm writing this at such a late hour... But it's GM's day you know, and well, it just seemed fitting. Like the legions of fans who've come before me, I just wanted to say thank you. My life has been shaped by you and you never even knew who I was. But I certainly knew...

    C&C Collector's Box versus PHB

    Hey James...This response might be a bit too late but we've got a group up here in Highlands Ranch that's looking to try our hand at Castles and Crusades sometime after Christmas. We've lost one player to a move home, (Neb.) and another to a new job that requires extensive travel. So we're...

    Basic Rules

    OK then... Here's the first one: In Basic DnD the description of the Elf Class (p25 of the Cyclopedia) states that they get only 1 hp / level after 9th. But in another area they list the hp gain as 2 hp / level after 9th. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks much, jfall

    Basic Rules

    Hello all, *I'd like to preface the following with the statement that this is solely OUR group. I am not suggesting that this is systematic of the whole of the industry. Like many of you, I have viewed the announcement of 4e with some awe and no small amount of trepidation. The silver lining...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    What can you say after a scene like that? Holy fancy dancin Moses...that was soooo cool! You're pretty darned talented LB. I'm happy I found this little gold mine, it's an inspiration for my game. Keep it coming.

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    Oh man...this is soooo cool! I'll bet you can DM the heck out of a game LB. I can't imagine playing in a game run by such a creative story teller. If you ever decide to move to Denver please look me up. ;-) Have you ever thought about compiling this into a book and publishing? This is really...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    Wasn't it Dar who gave Allera the green gem? I don't remember clearly but I believe it was...and if this is so....well then, he might have been "baiting" Varo. Dar is becoming a tricky one. While I still believe that Varo is the slippery one...Dar is becoming more and more of an enigma...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    Hey Richard, "honestly no rogue worth his soft boots would have been hit by that thing"... Heck, no rogue would've been caught anywhere NEAR that monstrosity. LB can't possibly hate arcanists THAT much can he? I haven't read anything that he's written before this so I'm working on intuition...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    My money's on Valus... He's the plant | spy | traitor... I love it when Dar's got that gleam in his eye. He's like an unstopable automaton. I can just hear the diatribe running through his mind as he wanders these foul halls again, "If I'm coming back here I'm gonna take my recompense in...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    How can you not just LOVE Varo!?! The guy's simply too cool for words. Sure he's evil. Sure there's way more there than meets the eye but man, you certainly know when he's around. Glad the old gang's back together...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    Ha! "His ban on the casting of spells in his presence is unprecedented, I believe. And from what I have heard, the entire Palace is warded to reveal the use of any magic upon its premises." What do you want to bet that the Duke is an agent of Orcus? And to think that the patriarch of the...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    I've been away for a few days and missed my opportunity to post in response to the last two entries. So here goes, I completely agree that not all is as appears w/ the Shining Father as well... The first thing that flitted through the dim recesses of my mind was that it sounded suspiciously like...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    OK.... I'm intrigued. What's Dar up to? While he truly IS a pig...like Allera said, I think that he's interested in more than just a spirited roll in the hay w/ her. And Valor....what's up with that? You can't tell me that Dar is now lawful. I just don't see it. Ah hell, maybe I'm giving Dar...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    They just can't remain sepparated... I love it. Dar and Allera sitting in a tree. K I S S I N G... Whooopee! I think that Allera's got twice the guts that Talen and Dar have combined. She's my kinda gal. ;-) So you guys think Dar's going to get a tongue lashing? Not me. I think she's there to...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    Slaad? Chaos incarnate... I never would have guessed that Varo was a servant of a Chaotic master. He's been so coldly methodical all throughout the adventure that I thought for sure he was of a lawful alignment. Or rather, I had "assumed" that he was lawful. Twists and turns LB...twists and...
