    JollyDoc's Savage Tide-Updated 10/8!

    Very well written! This is what puts this SH, IMO, ahead of others. Extremely interesting battle. Attacking in the middle of the old Rope Trick is definitely a classic strategy ;) Also, I was surprised to see Death Knell used and that it actually worked. Must've been a bad luck day for...

    Updated Table of Contents . . . Great job against the Horde but can't say I am very surprised at the outcome. Our group is very, very good at teamwork, battlefield control, and prioritizing target selection. Excellent update.

    Awww . . . I was hoping the Legion would toast Emraag, pity. Seriously guys, think about how much treasure he must have extorted from people just sitting in his undersea lair and waiting to be claimed. But then again since you are going to get a bajillion gp from the Obah Miracle sale . . ...

    Thanks for the nod! As I write this email, I'm kicking it back in the Potrero district in the heart of downtown SF. Look forward to reading about the adventures of the Legion -- this time as a fanboy :)

    Yeah, right. Everybody knows that Yog-Sothoth is the gate.

    Need a farewell gift for my gaming group

    I'm not the DM so no TPK. However, I think a portrait of the characters would be a great idea. Any links to artists who could accept this commission? Do you think 2 weeks is a reasonable timeframe?

    Need a farewell gift for my gaming group

    I've been gaming with the same group of friends for roughly 8 years and loved every minute of it. Sadly, all good things must end and I am moving across the country permanently. However, I would love to leave them a token of my appreciation. Money is not really an object and I don't mind...

    A new "hero" eh? Could it be someone decided to do a character swap . . . or did an old player show up?

    My suggestion that night on being a rat-bastard (tm) DM included the following: 1. One of the Vrocks uses telekinesis to wrench Sepoto's spiked chain out of his hand. 2. Second Vrock picks up weapon teleports over the ocean and dumps it into the depths. We actually rolled it out...

    I think one thing readers have come to expect (and appreciate) is that battles with BBEGs in JD's campaigns (esp. the "big" bosses) are rarely anticlimactic.

    Glad to see both Polymorph and Hold spells being used so well. I know when 3.5 came out, we were somewhat disheartened that both were nerfed. Very nice demonstration of their utility.

    Nothing a 50 Diplomacy check couldn't solve. ;) Still, I like the new Legion, a bit more direct. I look forward to reading more about the new character backgrounds too. Also, I do appreciate the reactions of Amella and Lavinia . . . maybe jello wrestling?

    JollyDoc's Savage Tide-Updated 10/8!

    I absolutely agree w/ Joachim. Limiting themselves to OGC will preclude Pathfinder from using many monsters that are D&D staples (Illithid, Slaadi, Umber Hulks, etc. are NOT OGC). Also, if they decide to make new monster and PrCs (likely, given their limited resources) these will not have been...

    JollyDoc's Savage Tide-Updated 10/8!

    Well thanks for that, it is appreciated. However, truth be told I have to say Richard (Joachim) has clearly exceeded me in the power-gaming department particularly since the advent of 3.5. Also, influence from both of us seems to have seeped into other characters as well. Both Ricky (Sepoto)...

    Well to be honest with you, I was less keen on the Amella-Anwar-Lavinia love triangle than I was on impersonating Avner. I was going to have a field day with that one! Anwar took a skill trick called assume quirk that eliminates the Spot bonus given to penetrate your disguise checks from...

    Sadly and with a heavy heart, I have to report that I have permanently bowed out of JD's campaign. Since I will be moving to CA in a couple of months, I didn't see the need to disrupt the continuity of the campaign with a throwaway PC. Also, I feel that after some decent power builds, Anwar...

    Sunday Night Update 1. The Blair Witch shenaningans continue, including a "rock" slide of human skulls and a Mastichan suicide. Amella & Tavey are particularly freaked out by the last one. To calm their jangled nerves, Anwar arranges his own Mastichan suicide. 2. We meet the King of the...

    Of course, people never tell the real story behind this little incident. Perhaps the fact that the Kobold in question had, oh, I don't know 18 levels of Fighter and a Half-Dragon template had something to do with it? Naww . . . probably not. ;) Linkage: 1. Our first story hour (City of the...

    JollyDoc's Savage Tide-Updated 10/8!

    Sunday Night Update 1. Leaving their newly diseased colleagues behind (a bit of a retcon, Anwar did actually make his Fort save), Thrisp and Anwar do a wee bit of adventuring on their own. Originally, they plan on pocketing everything between themselves but upon discovering a bit of a treasure...
