Re: Glad to see the "Return of BotS"! Jon's doing better than I would. I'm hoping he will chime in, I sent him the link. He really did appreciate all the messages sent to the last thread. CONGRATULATIONS OLD MAN!!!! Please pass on my best to your wife! That's great news!

Palaestra Thanks for the kind words, Old One. Check out some new Palaestra updates . here.

Well, I'm not going to hope for another story hour as good as the last two, for obvious reasons. BUT for those of you who read the earlier ones, I wanted you to know that Palaestra goes on. 1) I'm starting a new campaign with some of the old players (Jon Hanna and Keith Martin) and new players...

Well, I'm not going to hope for another story hour as good as the last two, but for those of you who read the earlier ones, I wanted you to know that Palaestra is not finished. 1) I'm starting a new campaign with some of the old players on Wednesday. I'll be back with character briefs on...

Evil In my game alignment is pretty much a role-playing aid. It only comes into play for character classes in which a higher power has selected the character - not vice-versa. (For example paladins and blackguards vs. say clerics or rangers) In that case, the "taint" of otherwordly evil or...

Let's see. Dragonfly attributes that would convert into nice powers. nearly 360 degree vision - perhaps that ability or bonus to spot checks flight they are extremely agile - perhaps a dex bonus, at high levels convert to speed they start out as water-breathers-- if you want to scale powers...

Thanks, that one was completely off my radar. Sound like I might end up with it (and the others eventually). I've only sailed a few times, but as a Hornblower freak, sounds like Broadsides might be more up my alley.

Re: Re: Re: Is D&D/D20 Childish and Immature? I'm the first one to admit that there _are_ some crappy rulesets out there and I have NO trouble voicing my opinion of them. All game systems are not created equal, some rules stink, and rules DO affect gameplay, etc. There are also aspect of...

Amen brother! I live in Athens GA and I love to point out to those who raise an eyebrow at my hobby, that I could take my shirt off, shave off my loverly gut hair, paint myself red w/ a big white "G" on my flabby belly and stand in front of 80,000+ people barking like a dog --everyone would...

Okay - I am really interested in the rule sets. Which one is the better bang for the buck, etc. I want to be able to have enough detail to identify ship types and tell me how long it takes to get from point A to B on my map. Maybe some info on trade, etc. (One of my players always wants to...

It's a campaign that will be set in the real-world equivalent of the Black Sea (think Constantinople). So humans dominate the southern shores, elves dominating the east, orcs in the north. Scattered isles offer the potential for pirates, mysterious islands, etc. I would not be adverse to an...

I'm going to have the oportunity to run a maritime campaign soon for D&D and would love to have some advice on useful d20 sources, such as FFG's Seafarers' Handbook, and advice from DM's who have run seafaring campaigns. What worked, what didn't, favorite sources, etc. Thanks!!

From Jon I just saw Jon. I told him about the outpouring of love and concern on the BoS thread. He was surprised and very thankful and wanted me to tell you how much he appreciated your thoughts.

In Memoriam... In lieu of flowers, Jon has asked that donations be made to the Memorial Park Zoo, where they often took their kids and where Jessica volunteered. Make checks payable to Athens/Clarke Co., but please note Jessica, Heather and Benjamin Hanna in the "For" line. Memorial Park Zoo...

Jessica Hanna Jessica Hanna (the woman behind Aoelif) loved this game, her character and she also loved this story hour. Because of that, and you loyal readers, I feel that I should tell you to not expect more updates from us. Jessica Hanna and her two children were killed in a car accident on...

ADVENTURE 45: Of Gods and Rats Part II: Homecoming It being very late, the party camped on it’s way to the mine. While they were sleeping, the group was awoken by Winter, who was on watch with the Glitterdeath warrior. “Something approaches.” She told the others. They all readied...

ADVENTURE 45 INTERLUDE Meanwhile… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ INSERT EXPENSIVE WAVY DREAM EFFECTS ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aoelif woke up to the sound of fat dripping on a fire, and the weak light of a small flame. It is night and she was laying on a...

ADVENTURE 45: Of Gods and Rats Gudlag, the dwarf druid, has taken over telling the tale of the party. (Thanks, Jon!) Part I: Of Rats Immediately after the necromancer disappeared with Aoelif, the rest of the battle bloodied group decided upon a course of action. “Well,” said Ingolf, “this...

FYI Logos gave St. Stephen, the archangel archer, the dominion of air so that he could monitor the forces of Atavis and watch over the Church. His power over winds has made him a favorite of farmers and sailors — as both are concerned with favorable weather. Archangel Stephen is said to be able...

(What's the blushing emoticon?) Yes, I plan to submit and thanks for the vote of confidence! Now I have to create the time and work on that one page killer summary - that's going to be tough as heck!
