The Ballad of Karhoun Esben The Great Manticore Hunt Part II If someone had told me that it was my fate to die while making polite conversation with the Manticore I wouldn’t have believed them. But there I was, waiting for the Manticore to see through my ruse, to discover a lie. If it...

My job as a writer is done. I will try to get on it and post another tonight or tomorrow and complete the hunt.

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben The Great Manticore Hunt, Part I I am Karhoun Esben and I am a hunter of the Shadow’s minions, a good man, a proud Northman. I had never been so proud. In all of my life I have never fought alongside my fellow Northmen, always alongside Orcs or Goblins. These are...

I'm not a fan of having every single piece of the game world spelled out. I like the areas on the map where it is fuzzy, that is where my adventures tend to happen. I like tons of adventure seeds where I can grow them in any direction I want. In a gaming book, I want to be inspired more than...

I seem to be in the minority in that I don't want another book after Minions of Shadow. I'm not a fan of over-detailing a world. I feel like they've put out an adventure for up to 5th level and they've given us a well done player's guide with plot hooks for every race and class. Anything else...

Right before the Esben adventure I put a post on the Midnight Yahoo group and out among my friends for Esben NPC's and Durgen was sent to me by my buddy, Pete. I have to thank him, Durgen is fantastic...wait 'till you read his whole story. Tis a doozy. Truth is the three main tower wardens...

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben I am Karhoun Esben. I am a good man, a hunter of Shadow. Karhoun has lived under the Shadow in the North his entire life, acting servile, knowing his place and keeping his hate for the evil God that rules his homeland buried deep. Finally, he get's a chance to...

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben Story Post #15 Hanging Breakfast I had forgotten what it is like to wake up in Port Esben, my ancestral home. First, you are grateful that you weren’t killed by father or assassinated by a jealous sibling. Then you wonder if someone died in the night. Did father...

Tetsujin, I am worried that I have hijacked your thread into a big advertisement for my Story Hour. Sorry, but the log of my campaign is my best case for buying the game. The setting is based on an interesting idea but the execution of the idea, both in the rules and in the text is what really...

Thanks, Numion, glad you like the SH. Could you order Midnight from Amazon.com? Good luck procuring it, the setting is well worth the effort.

Thank you, Krug.

Hand and D, thanks for the compliments and thanks for reading. I am fresh back from Origins, with my geek-ass batteries refreshed and a session and and then some's worth of Story Hours to catch up on. I think the next few sessions are doozies. I hope you dig 'em. The next few chapters will...

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben Story Post #14 Rude Awakenings I took a deep breath, trying not to think too hard about the sharp spears. Somehow managing to keep my voice level, I responded, “Father, what in all of Izrador’s kingdoms are you speaking about?” He threw a braid down on the bed...

My last D&D game began right before Fellowship of the Ring came out and started out as two Halflings finding a Dragon's egg and hiding it from an evil Dragon's armies who were looking to destroy it. It was a homebrew world wherein each greater nation had a Dragon (sometimes a different mythic...

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben Story Post #13 Esben Family Dinner Orengar the Fat, Shadow Legate and Warden of the Holy Tower greeted me as I entered the dining hall. Unaros was already chatting with him about religious matters. Orengar was too fat and too jolly for a Legate, always smiling...

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben Story Post #12 The Shadow Cathedral, the Lady of the Black Oak and the Witch-Eyed Twin The cathedral smelled of musky incense. The entryway was a stonework chronicle of father’s steps towards the Shadow. Father’s three weapons were stored there, atop the...

Nice, well done. The Planescape jargon isn't beating us over the head but it is present. Sounds like a fun read.

Karhoun Esben's character sheet Crunchy Supplemental I will post the rest of the character sheets when the players of Vorden and Thannil are back in the game. For now it is more or less a solo game for as long as the subject header says, "The Ballad of Karhoun Esben" that you will be reading...

Re: Nice Thanks, I'm glad you dig it. It is fun to write. JJ made the decision to split Karhoun from the party and then, as fate would have it, the rest of hte party couldn't make it to the past three or so games. So, since I started this game for JJ anyway, I ran him solo, with Kayla...
