The Jihad of Karhoun Esben Story Post 27 Prologue: The Missive Bough to bough, from great oak to weeping willow to maple to fir the letter on the oak-leaf traveled. Sid the sprite was lounging in the upper reaches of a maple when she found the leaf that was well on its way. She knew Elayle...

I've been running a game for months that has been mostly a solo game. It is just a matter of getting out of the standard D&D module mindset and mixing the game up a bit.

Kazyrd, your raptor steed is saddled up. Kazyrd scartches the ground impatiently, puts his nose in your hair and snorts, excited to be leaving. A breast plate over some chainmail are on to keep you safe, all covered with a cloak. A silver-worked spider holds your hair from your face. Only...

That was a great post, Rel, with lots of fantastic advice, my favorite piece is quoted above. Nice response.

Every story hour writer will tell a different method but I like having player notes. I'm not fond of putting thoughts into character's heads that the players didn't put there. Having the player in the Midnight Solo game write down an outline of the game's events and his character's thoughts...

We've taken this month off, not because we wanted to but it is just the way the end of the summer panned out. This Friday we'll game again. Hopefully, I'll get the write-up done over the weekend or so. I can't wait to game again.

Write. Post. Write more. Post more. Don't forget to have fun.

Your father has been to the surface. One of the Empress's nieces was sick and only a flower from the Above would cure her. The sun burned his skin into a deep black. His cheeks turn purple when Mother says something bold. Most of the time when anyone asks him about the above he only mumbles...

The Drow Empress summons you to her throne room. She has ruled the Underdark for tens of thousands of years, uncounted generations, but rather than growing powerful the years have made her bent and crone-like. Her skin is white as virgin ivory from never seeing the sun and her eyes are dark as...

I'll chime in with the crowd and say that GURPS Egypt and Dieties and Demi-Gods and a trip to the local library with the wonderful bibliography in the back of GURPS Egypt should more than do the trick. Tom Kane, the writer of GURPS Egypt is a great guy, I've gamed with him a handful of times...

We also need to ask ourselves, is D&D there to simulate the fun and adventure of fantasy literature or is the setting there to simulate the outcome of D&D's magic system? Like AC/DC sang, "Who made who?"

I actually like the Diamond Throne world enough to game in it. I don't think I will be immediately cannabalizing the crunchy-bits for my own game just yet.

I love DT and the way in which Monte wrote it. He writes in order to inspire rather than inform. With worlds I always want inspiration over information. There are so many seeds and plot hooks that I can't take a step through a page without getting seed juice all over my shoes and plot hooks in...

triple post

We didn't game last week because we just needed to chill and talk smack, this week because I was feeling lame, next week I'm outta town. It will be updated in a few weeks. Please forgive the lull.

Um...sure. The thread title said, brainstorming and so I was storming...with my brain. Hope it helped, have fun. Hey, whenever a game get's slow just throw in some Githyanki INCURSION. Might be interesting to run lower level characters, just holding off the threat from their hometown while...

MAybe a lava flow uncovered deep under the city that could be used as a forge, enhancing magic effects of weapons. The players, weaponsmakers, could team up with a Wizard to race down there and make a weapon of some sort. Perhaps other Smiths in town are racing too and of course, something...

I totally dug the satiric nature of your post but I don't agree with this part, which I fully realize, makes me a bad, bad person. The place of art in RPG's is probably the point of another thread. Or an IM session. I think we should all EAT Arcana Unearthed, that would solve all of our problems.

Really? Interesting. Could you talk about tweaks necessary to make it fit into Midnight? It could be its own thread but if you make it a new thread just put both Ghostwalk and Midnight in the title so it is easy to find. Thanks.
