    [DawningStar] The Great Unknown (Updated 11-5-07)

    Eos, four years earlier Henry gave a deep sigh of annoyance. One hundred feet away, the chief archaeologist and his sycophantic flunkies pawed over the Star Confederation artifacts the team had uncovered. Henry’s irritation stemmed from the fact that they did so beneath the hidden confines of...

    [DawningStar] The Great Unknown (Updated 11-5-07)

    Entry 1 slowly advanced into the heart of Anomaly X19. The smooth metal walls and floor reminded engineering tech Henry Abraham of walking through the ductwork of a house. If the house were a giant rock. In space. Far away from anything approaching civilization. If you were stuck in a rock...

    Eos, four years earlier He slowly lowered the binoculars from his face, not wanting to alert the quarry to his presence. Republic Ranger Dotun Amagawe had been tracking this band of smugglers for almost three weeks. They were good, Dotun had to give them that. Stealing weapons from the Eos...

    [DawningStar] The Great Unknown (Updated 11-5-07)

    The good news crackled over the squad’s comm gear ‘This is command. You are green-light for breach.' “Bull” Thompson stamped his feet appreciatively, “About fraking time.” “Shut up Bull,” returned Amy Duerber, the team’s medic. Her usual impish smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, “You...

    [DawningStar] The Great Unknown (Updated 11-5-07)

    My tentative plan is to update about once a week, but here's one more to kind of set the stage. --- Eos, four years earlier The centennial celebration of Landfall Day was momentous for several reasons. Over the past century the fledgling Dawning Star Republic had settled in and her residents...

    [DawningStar] The Great Unknown (Updated 11-5-07)

    The Venerable Nebraska hung silently in the void of space. On the bridge, crew went about their assigned tasks with a sense of nervous anticipation. Elsewhere on the ship, personnel sat on their bunks or huddled around tables, listening to the open intercom. Captain Tsekai gazed out the...

    Third Eye Sense question

    The Third Eye Sense entry in the Magic Item Compendium indicates that spells/powers can't be cast/manifested through it. However, it allows a character (a divine mind in my campaign's case) to "see" somewhere without necessarily having line of sight. An example would be they could see and hear...

    Mindblade vs. PR

    Quick soulknife question that came up at last night's game. Does psionic resistance work against a mindblade? I.e. everytime I attack a foe with PR, do I have to overcome PR to damage that foe? I couldn't find a definitive answer in the SRD. Thanks for the assistance!

    Darkwalkers: The Evil Within

    Darkwalkers: The Evil Within starts with the following introduction: Evil player characters, as a rule, are frowned upon by most role-playing groups. Having an evil character within a group of adventures tends to run contrary to the overall theme and ideals of classic fantasy where the good guy...

    You Don't Talk Shop at the Dinner Table

    Everyone else in my group is an engineer. I'm in the medical field. They start talking about chips and buses and throwing out non-sensical jargon all the time. I just grin stupidly and nod and wait for it to pass :) The one thing that drives me absolutely stark raving insanely crazy mad is...

    Minnesota Gamers - Something You Should Be Aware Of - (LGS Rant)

    Wow. I guess I was under the impression that returns for store credit are fairly commonplace. I've only been to the source a few times, but the folks there seemed quite friendly and I was satisfied with their selection. I can understand you not liking the policy and perhaps even not shopping...

    Attack the orphanage!

    My original thinking in designing this encounter was that the PCs would arrive and think "hey, they're only kids, let's just go on in", assuming the real threat was inside. Unfortunately I underestimated my players' paranoia. The baby-toting youth on the roof was mainly a means to get them...

    Attack the orphanage!

    Funny you should ask, we just played last night. I can honestly say it went nothing like I anticipated. The party received a note indicating they should come to the orphanage at noon the next day or they city would, in effect, be destroyed. Short, cryptic, but enough to get them interested...
