Terror In Freeport: Part 3 A group of three well dressed pedestrians was nothing out of the ordinary amid the morning traffic on Wave Avenue. They strolled past blocks of gilded townhouses and high priced boutiques, but they were not in the Merchant District for simple sightseeing. They slowed...

He started out CG, and is now definitely CN. Interestingly, Parika was CN and is now sliding toward CG. How will all of this turn out? I have some ideas, but you'll have to tune in to find out. :) I'm pretty sure we won't be playing this coming weekend, but the next weekend should (hopefully)...

Interlude: The Morning After Parika woke with a start, her hands clammy with sweat. She sat up in bed. The night had not been a restful one. Nevroth's "business" had left her feeling uneasy, and her sleep had been plagued by disturbing dreams. She picked up her brush from the bedside table and...

Thanks for stopping by! You guys have set the bar pretty high as far as Freeport story hours go.

Terror In Freeport: Part 2 "Orcs attacking you on the street?" asked Edwin. "That's bizarre. At least, in that part of town it is." Nevroth grimaced. His freshly healed wounds were still raw and aching. "Someone was watching that place and waiting for us." He looked at Parika. "Do you still...

Terror In Freeport: Part 1 WARNING: This section contains spoilers for the Green Ronin module Terror in Freeport. Read at your own risk. Brother Edwin walked into the inn, passing Moira as she left. He waved to the three companions. "Oh, I'm glad you're here. I think I might need your help...

You could teach them the lessons you want them to learn in a sort of interactive parable form. By that I mean crafting encounters or plots that illustrate the points you want to make. For example, the PCs discover a way to restore a blighted valley to its old fertile state, improving the lives...

Yay, my first bump! Unfortunately, we haven't gotten to play yet. In the meantime I've been starting up a PBEM for a friend of mine with no access to local gamers. Because of the speed difference between live gaming and PBEMs, I set the new game on the mainland. Not only does this keep me from...

I built a database to keep track of the game calendar, which I keep open on the laptop during the game. I add events to it as they occur, so I can keep track of what happened on which day. I go back at the end of each session and write up the bones of the events. Then I can rewrite it at my...

I decided to streamline the process in this instance. We're playing D&D, not Law & Order. :) I don't know about the player, but the character was mighty put out by it. :) I take full responsibility for the outcome of Nevroth's backstory. I'm not sure how much of a surprise it was, though. The...

Red Flags On The Horizon: Part 2 It was three days before Nevroth was feeling well enough to leave the inn again. Parika and Rachel watched him go as they were eating their lunch. "Think he'll be all right?" asked Rachel. Parika shrugged. "He's a big boy. I'm sure he won't do anything...

Thanks! I only got the pen recently, mostly for doing eyes, though I've used it for a few other bits of detail work. Everything else is done with a brush. I usually don't get to buy minis very often, so doing excessively intricate patterns helps the painting last longer. And it's fun. :)

Red Flags On The Horizon: Part 1 Parika came downstairs late in the morning. She made a mental note that good wine felt the same as bad wine the next day, no matter how it tasted. The old man at the desk waved her over. "There was a man here earlier looking for you. I thought it best to let you...

A Small Update Just one update to the page. This one was actually painted at the time of the last update, but I was waiting to post him until he made his appearance in the campaign. I have three more pirates ready for shading and highlighting, so they should be up fairly soon...

In our previous campaign (where I was a player) we knew ahead of time that if you go into the mountains you may run into giants and dragons. We ended up seeing a *lot* of giants and dragons, because for whatever reason we kept going through the mountains to get to places we needed to be to...

The Phantom of the Opera: Part 2 "Oh no, we all loved Albert." Catherine Lowery's makeup was streaked by tears. She had played the bootmaker's wife opposite the murdered actor. "He was the heart and soul of the troupe. It was his idea to come here, even. He used to work here years ago. There...

The Phantom of the Opera: Part 1 Between the coinage they found at the temple and the sale of their excess items, the three companions had amassed a sizeable amount of money. Much of it was spent at Blackhammer & Sons replacing some of their old weapons and armor with more finely crafted gear...

It Takes A Thief Gurik Rostov Praefis stood as the door opened. "Good morning. How may I be of service to you today?" The woman's eyes swept across the various display cases in the front room of Gurik's house. She was dressed in fine, yet sober clothes. She clearly had some money, though it...

Interludes Rachel poked her head in the door. "Still in bed, eh?" "Yup," replied Parika, rubbing her temples. "Remind me never to read strange books that I find in evil temples again." "It's a deal." Rachel deposited a large rucksack on the other bed. "Well, we went to see that sage that...

Thanks! I think I'll hold off on posting stats for a while. Everyone started as brand new characters, so there's not much of interest yet on their sheets.
