That kind of thing is totally going on in the background along with jockeying for position in a game of chess that is going on on a planar scale. I love the idea of the players getting to 20+ levels and getting a view of what is driving these armies to conflict on their quaint little prime...

It folded in on itself for a half a dozen different reasons. Sorry!

Fittingly enough, this idea will rise from the grave. Looks like this is going to be the premise of our upcoming D&D campaign. Sweetness. We are looking at the town-caught-in-the-middle concept and running with it.

Thank you for posting up this list. I found it in a google search, looking for a list of the 4E gods' names. It made it nice and easy to start a thread about D&D in-game holidays.

"Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right." - Copperwood Motto Death's Wings Part IIa Gurney shook off the exhaustion from the journey. His hometown was filled with mice who closed their doors while others suffered. Other mice in the guard might come to whisper that Copperwood was filled...

"When the Great Horned One takes you in the night it does not kill you. When the Great Horned One takes you, you were dead already. You did not know it yet." - words carved into monolith known as The Finger near Copperwood Mouse Guard Archives, Spring, 1153 Death's Wings, Part I Snow...

Winterhaven Cemetary Fight 1 I numbered this as our first Winterhaven Cemetary Fight because I'm kind of assuming this might very well happen again. I gained new respect for Winterhaven (and our Dungeon Master's eye for in-game logic) when we were lead to their cemetery and it was outside...

Storn - Glad you like it. Buzz - Thanks for the kind words. Thanks, Tony, that was my story hour, back in the day with 3.0. Thanks for remembering. Here's the link to it. Wow. Memories.

Hunkering Down in Winterhaven When you walk into a small town with a human armed to the teeth, an Eladrin man from the Feywild who is prettier than any of the town's girls, a horned and tailed thief who has gained powers through a pact with infernal powers and nearly three hundred pounds of...

Entering Winterhaven We were on our way to Winterhaven with a Kobold prisoner. Since the prisoner could only speak Draconic, it was up to Petal, our favorite armored Dragonborn do-gooder for Bahamut to speak to him. I just stood behind her, making various hand-motions that let the little...

I like them both. When I was a wee lad playing AD&D back in the day, we house-ruled a race that were pretty much Dragonborn with a different name. And the Teifling are just fun; I dig 'em. I don't play D&D to re-live Tolkien, so its fine to me.

Scheduling difficulties have been as aggravating as a horde of kobolds shifting around the battlefield. But you should definitely check out Vor Kragal, City of Ash, a tale of the lost capital of my people. My great-grandmother claimed to have seen the city before it fell. She said she had a...

I'm slowly working on a Story Hour post, first person POV from my paladin but it might take a while. We fought the Beetle Matrons directly last week, took on two plus her undead children minions. Eek. This week we just flat-out ran from 'em, as they were ten in the city here and there.

I see it more as a world right in the brink of total destruction with nowhere to go but up or annihilated. We'll fight for it going up. Another way to look at it is just on the Points of Light continuum. Bret liked the PoL philosophy but added the threat for two reasons: 1) It is a situation...

I'm kinda waiting for Bret to write down some post-game write ups. We met up with some Beetle-tongue Matrons and managed to kick their creepy asses. More later...

I'm not sure I understand what -sustain that sort of atmosphere for any length of time- means? Could you give me an at-the-table example?

So, in this case, we are not out-and-out collaborating and creating a setting together. But we did each stake out a piece of Bret's amazing initial idea and add to it in our own special ways, through character generation. By making a Paladin of the Raven Queen, I am going to be making stuff up...

Burning Wheel!

Right now we are just exploring our new ruins, settling the refugees in and figuring out the status quo. We'll find our direction somewhere in there. We each have a quest that we want to complete, always trying to have one set, kind of fodder with which Bret can make an adventure, I'd think...

We're gaming again tomorrow night, so we'll have more to talk about then.
