Chapter IV A Little About the Lady Ladymist is what happens when a Dragon builds a city for her children. It is called the Lady or the City of Lairs. Ladymist is a city hewn from a mountain into the shape of a step pyramid, one borough to each step. Waterfalls conjure mist into the...

Chapter III Wyvern Smoke or Dragon Smoke Mayor Joren Overill is stout, even by Halfling standards. Since his ascension from the youngest member of the Pipe Council (only 64 years) to Mayor of Hightree Shire, his belt has only gotten tighter as his belly has gotten larger. He is sitting in...

Paladins and Clerics of Ulula sometimes deliver important messages just as their totem, the Owl, does. Your missives have crossed the Jade Forest and have finished their journeys in the saddlebags of a giant owl steed of Ulula. “Green Heralds…missives for you…” To: Deputy Thane Guardian...

Chapter II Jasmine Smith Meets Once Upon a Time I was born and raised in Deepmist and always hated it here. It was like something magical and enchanting was happening here once but now it is all over and not much comes down the highway. My ma is the smith in town. Since the Ghouls took pa...

Chapter I Red Door I was born hungry. My mother was over-taken by a pack Ghouls while working the fields in a nameless village just outside of Deeproot. There were more rocks than crops and more misery than rocks. It is unclear to me how I was born a Ghoul. We don't know much about our...

Handforged, I hear ya. We won't have Karhoun's POV for a while yet but the latter part of this night's adventure had some GORGEOUS Karhoun moments, really character defining stuff. I don't like writing from a PC's POV unless they give me some notes so I can write what they were thinking when...

I get by mostly with the core book, but OBAM is a cool supplement and I'm always happy to suppor the indie RPG industry. The combat system is quite exciting and once you get the hang of it is superb. The Fey and the races are very much Tolkien-influenced, maybe moreso in some ways than D&D. I...

I'd think the Dark Towerness is only a splash in a cocktail that would mostly be flavored by the geek mythology of D&D Boxed Sets. I think a D&D western would work well, taking well-worn themes and ideas of fantasy gaming and applying them to a good ole fashioned western. "Hey, your peanut...

Vecna, the Crippled Evil. The never ending feud between the Githyanki and the McZarai clans. Dwarvish shotguns and Elvish rifles. Paladins with six-guns and white hats. Missionary Clerics. Rogue/Sorcerers with a deck of cards and a hustle.

Travel expenses from upstate New York and 50 dollars an hour at the table is my going rate.

The Riddle of Midnight - Varduk's Revenge Part II Post 3 Only two hours later they arrived over the ridge. Our scout, no, their scout made his way to the second hill, surveying the land. They walked right past where Karhoun had buried himself in the snow and overlooked the Elves, perched in...

Perhaps the wyvern was some kind of creature's pet and although the Wyvern killed and ate them it still wears their magical collar. The collar does have a code word written on the inside of it that will put the Wyvern to sleep for an hour if spoke but the party probably won't find that until...

Melkor, I wish I had more conversion stuff to share with you. I didn't find TROS was in need of any tinkering in order to work in Midnight. If you want to know more, please check out the Story Hour. From the Story Hour is a link to the TROS forums at the Forge, where I wrote more about how...

Some dudes just charge out on their horses, fire their guns and take folks' stuff. Others take their time by the fire, enjoy a good yarn-spinnin'. The west takes all kinds. West, as in west of Sigil, is the word for where big Wizards ain't been to yet. There's uncharted frontier worlds, some...

I can't believe I forgot to mention Unknown Armies, a fantastic modern fantastic horror game, probably the best written main rule book I have ever read. I ran it in a medieval fantasy setting and it ran like a dream. Fun.

I'm currently running The Riddle of Steel in the Midnight campaign setting. The sig has a link to the game's home page. I'd like to use TROS for a Fey Court, high fantasy game too. Ron Edward's Sorcerer is alot of fun, game I want to run this year some time. Ars Magica is certainly one of...

And here's a link to a Snow Elf enclave, at the same site: http://www.againsttheshadow.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=670 Most of the day to day stuff is inferred in the main rulebook, although alot is left to our imagination.

Yggdra is a Dornish village, halfway between Bastion and the Fortress Wall. The tree stump in the center of the village was once so large that twenty full grown men could link hands and not make a circle around it. The tree was a holy site, worshipped with the a scarecrow representing the Hanged...
