A Good Stopping Point This brings us to the end of Death in Freeport, one session behind the current point in the campaign. I'll be on vacation next week, but we'll be playing again the weekend I get back. If I get the urge I may get the next installment of the story hour written while I'm...

It was a botched attack that forced a balance check, which he failed. He theoretically could have survived, but the damage dice were against him. *SPLAT*

Death In Freeport: Part 6 Parika looked into the brightly lit temple. The vaulted ceiling was supported by six massive columns. A large basalt altar lay at the far end of the temple, some forty feet away. She recognized Milos standing behind the altar, though he now wore a black robe instead of...

Dufa: The Unauthorized Biography Remember when I said there were four PCs? Well, one of the players hasn't yet made it to a single session. He is playing the cabin boy that Rachel's father sent along to keep her safe. Obviously, he hasn't been doing a very good job. At one point we were leaving...

Death In Freeport: Part 5 The "meeting place" was a nondescript one story building in the slum known as Scurvytown. The windows were bricked up and it looked uninhabited, but appearances were often deceiving. Parika tried the door. "Locked. Open it up, Enzo." Enzo shook his head. "Oh, I don't...

Death In Freeport: Part 4 Parika sat on the bed in her room, sharpening a dagger. She'd been trying to figure out how to sneak into the temple and get a peek at those books, but it was useless. There were too many guards, and even if she could get past them she had no way to know where the...

About halfway through writing the exchange with the orcs, I realized that they did indeed sound like Cookie Monster. I spend all day watching a 1-year-old, so he's a powerful influence. :) It makes it easy to stay consistent with the speech pattern, though. I don't think I played them that way...

Death In Freeport: Part 3 "Well, that didn't get us anywhere." Parika grumbled. "Who does that Milos guy think he is, anyway?" "He's the high priest's assistant," said Nevroth. "And we did learn something: Lucius got back into the temple by donating books he acquired during his travels. And...

Death In Freeport: Part 2 Nevroth stood at the rail of the cutter as it entered Freeport Harbor. Laid out before him was the legendary pirate city. He spat into the water. Pirates. To put it mildly, Nevroth hated pirates. When he was ten years old he watched as pirates murdered his father and...

Eulogy For A Cannibal Ah, Gambumbo. He was the first character that was created for the campaign, and the first to go. After hearing his options, his player asked if he could make an evil island cannibal sorcerer. I told him to go for it, even though I've pretty much had my fill of trying to...

Death In Freeport: Part 1 Naturally, this section contains spoilers about the module Death In Freeport. Read at your own risk. Two days had passed since Parika first met with Delthic. Aside from learning her way around the Eastern District, she hadn't done much. Her savings were still enough...

Settling In Parika rolled over in her bed, smiling as the ropes creaked. She couldn't remember the last time she had slept in a proper bed and she felt no need to cut the experience short. Her further attempts to learn more about the local criminal element the previous night had been fruitless...

The Welcoming Committee Parika woke in the dark. Her head was pounding, but she was otherwise unhurt. She took stock of her situation. She was bound hand and foot on a wooden floor. Her sword and bow were gone, but her hidden daggers and lockpicks seemed to still be in place. She tested her...

Beginnings The Silver Wind sat low in the water beside the pier. Since her launch six months ago, she had been through a lot. Her maiden voyage from Freeport to the distant lands of the Far West was a success, however. Her hold was loaded with spices, silk, and other exotic goods. In addition...

I have wanted to run a city-based campaign for a long time, but the task of creating a city from whole cloth is more than I have the time or ability to undertake. I'd looked at a few city sourcebooks, but never found one that really spoke to me. In all honesty, when Freeport: City Of Adventure...

The World's Smallest Photo Studio Here's my setup: Just imagine that the phone is a digital camera. :) The backdrop is a piece of paper taped to an old computer. The "stage" is a piece of paper taped to a Zip disk case. I moved the camera to a distance where the flash wouldn't light the...

Gallery Up To Date I've finished putting up pictures of all my old minis (at least the ones worth photographing). The current count is 125. If there are any discrepancies in manufacturer attribution, please let me know. http://pung.dyndns.org/mini/index.html

Well, since I only started using it about a week ago, I haven't had a chance yet to find out. :D

More Added Another bunch added to the page. I think I'm about halfway through the ones that I plan to post pictures of. http://pung.dyndns.org/mini/index.html

I've actually been painting the eye white and adding the iris with a micron pen. Some of the ones I've done lately are a little raccoony, since I've been doing darker washes in the eye socket area, but I've just let them be. It makes them look a little meaner. :) As for the older ones, I can't...
