    Do your characters have love interests?

    Old One beat me to it but there are certainly some love interests floating around in the Faded Glory Campaign (see Old One's post above for details). These sub-plots can be a fun way to keep the campaign from becoming pure hack-slash and hunt down the bad guys. However, it can be really...

    Avoiding obsession with detail, or How to Build a Campaign?

    Good thread, particularly for detail obsessive people like me. My final solution was to limit my time to work on things. I researched for two weeks and that was it. From there I had one week to finalize it all. Not plot, just a place with lots of potential problems. After months of...

    How does anyone survive in a arid dessert climate?

    How do people build structures? Sand to me would seem like a terrible foundation for any sort of permanent building. Settlements come into existence around water sources, frequently on the coast. In Mecca, a city that is well inland, there is the Zam-Zam well. The tale is that this well...

    Vacation to Baltimore! So what's there?

    I live south of there but Poe's grave and the Baltimore Aquarium are interesting. Plenty of info about them on the net. A submarine, the USS Torsk, used to sit in the harobr for tourists. I do not know if it is still there, but its a good tour if it is. Corey

    Good Spouses

    My hat is off to die_kluge. Actually, to his wife. After that move, she is in total control for a least a year. My friend, I hope you enjoy Celine Dion and window treatments. :D Corey

    Against the Shadows VI - A Faded Glory Story Hour

    Darklone said, "Tortoise, Corey, did you hear that? Go ahead and give us something to watch! Get some notches on your weapons!" Man, there is just no pleasing some people. We slaughter scores of bad guys to get to the "leader." Then, when we are exhausted, Darklone wants us to waste him as...

    Looking to run a WoT d20 game in Alexandria, VA (Newbies encouraged!)

    No, I have not yet met Florin. I assume he will be killing off my painstakingly created characters in the near future though. I'm outside the beltway, 10 minutes west of Springfield Mall. Corey

    Against the Shadows VI - A Faded Glory Story Hour

    Re: Darklone hanging from a cliff... Darklone Quintus knew that the party would be sandwiched between two sets of Shadowblades. The Burning Sphere ensured our rear for a few rounds. That's why Quintus then sent Sextus to fight with the others. By throwing all our offensive power in one...

    Against the Shadow fans, the Lela Awards© are coming!!

    Hi Lela. To support you, I polled the other players on their favorite moments for each PC. When their answers come back, I’ll post them here. Here is my (Quintus') list: Favorite DM moment: Old One rolls a d20 with the "1" on the "17" that is faded. It looks like a 7, so we players...

    Looking to run a WoT d20 game in Alexandria, VA (Newbies encouraged!)

    Re: Funny how these boards work... What can we say, some people are just born to lead...:D I'm looking forward to seeing where Florin plans to take the Wot campaign, but after we get wiped out by the Seanchan, Kalamar sounds good. Corey

    Help with CoC newbies session

    I’m going to run a CoC session (that may or may not become a campaign) for three new players, two of whom are rather dubious about the whole RPG thing. They are: a Buffy fanatic, a 2001: A Space Odyssey and other such heavy on the real world science novels enthusiast and a first person...

    Looking to run a WoT d20 game in Alexandria, VA (Newbies encouraged!)

    Florin: I'd be interested as well. I live close to Springfield Mall. I've been gaming on and off since the original D+D boxed set came out (I don't remember the year but I do remember listening to ELO -shudder-while copying PC sheets with carbon paper). I don't own WOT but can easily acquire...

    The quest for a "Good read"!

    The Black Company series by Glen Cook. I have never found any book in the genre that beats the first book, IMO. Corey

    Against the Shadow V - A Faded Glory Story Hour

    Back from Makkah Hi all!!! I've been away for the last two weeks so this post covers the intervening conversation. Sorry guys, no soap-opera like interactions between Quintus and Drusilla for the immediate future. To avoid any really awkward interactions with Old One (nice legs, shame about...

    Against the Shadow V - A Faded Glory Story Hour

    Re: Session 13 (Part One) Hmm...undeserved, but appreciated, credit. Actually, Jim/Rowan did say something when he left the Lusty Whale. My mind was wandering into the fog of encroaching old age and I missed it completely. I'm going to be out of town when Old One posts the stuff from...

    It's a boy!!!!!!!

    Congratulations. Soon you will be wearing the parenting badge of honor- a small baby drool stain on every shoulder of every shirt you own. Obligatory Unsolicited Parenting Advice- get a baby sized (about the size of a pillow) piece of soft foam and cover it with some soft material. When...

    Against the Shadows IV - A Faded Glory Story Hour

    Re: CASH The decision to sell the frying pan was tough. But we decided we needed money-badly. No regrets, we acted on the info we had. If later it turns out to have been like Frodo selling off the one ring -what can you do? Quintus wants a hawk. We have found eyes in the sky to be a good...
