The Journeys of Helspar, Entry Six I am writing this from the comforts of the Ploughman Inn in Halfing’s Down. I could write paragraphs extolling the virtues of this place. Good food, pipe weed to smoke, soft beds, all of the luxuries that make the days on the road worthwhile. The coins spent...

The Journeys of Helspar, Entry Five My fingers are finally not too tender to write with. I was such a fool, eager for any new material I should have known that the Tome of the Treasures of the Fire Giants was a trap. I blocked most of the flame burst with my hands, but I no longer have to worry...

The Journey's of Helspar Entry Four I have more thoughts to pen. Many of them disturb me greatly and I write them here for posterity’s sake. I fear great evil may come of the actions of my companions and I do not know what to do about them. I am out of danger at least and have a chance to rest...

Sorry about that, I was just doing cut and paste from some word processor stuff which didn't quite work as I'd hoped, the board also has a nasty tendancy to boot me off mid-post if I take too long as well. I must also apologize for my lack of writing skills as well, but it was a story that...

The Journey's of Helspar Entry Three I have time to write again as we take a minute to rest in this so called “Sunless Citadel”. If I was to venture a guess I’d say that this place is at least over a thousand years since it came to be buried here. Everywhere there is evidence of the newer...

The Journeys of Helspar Entry Two I have new companions to travel with although maybe not for long. I hope that this isn’t the last entry in this short log. No sense brooding I suppose, I doubt that I can avoid anything fate has in store for me anyways. I should start with what has happened...

The Journeys of Helspar Entry One. I do not know why I have taken the notion to put this quill to the sheet of paper, perhaps I sense that my days might end soon and I would have whoever finds this body not to be just another nameless corpse to loot. As I write this I find myself in the strange...

The following are the journal entries from a character whom I used to play in a campaign which included the adventure of The Sunless Citadel and The Return to the Temple Of Elemental Evil . The Character's name of course was Helspar the wanderer an Illusionist who started these entries at about...

You reading this stuff Nylarlathotep? ;) I had this problem all the time when I used to DM and the source I found isn't always that the players aren't interested but that they're looking for something else in the game, or don't have a common frame of reference with the DM. Back in my home town...

Because our gaming group's organization is largely on an ad- hoc basis, removing someone is as simple as not calling them back the next time we play. Its happened a few times. One player was a little too into the game, If you know what I mean. And another just constantly wouldn't show at the...

Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions here Colonel! But here are some more for you: A bit back you mentioned Mordenkainen and Robilar and I got to wondering who are the players behind the other original iconic characters such as Bigby, Otiluke, Leomund, etc.? Are any of them still...

What I'm saying is that they've obviously thought a little bit about their clientele and since they can't be open all the time, (because from what I know the people who work at the store earn significantly less than most of us, essentially volunteering their time) they've at least tried to help...

I have two jobs and probably one of the worst schedules of anyone I know (partly beacuse I'm essentially on call in my off time as well to one of my jobs) and I can usually still scam a trip to the 'Box at least once a month if I want, nevermind the fact that It's at least a half hour trip to...

This has probably already been asked before, but what inspired D&D to transition from a game apparently played among a group of friends to published material? We all read about the formative sessions of Chaainmail and D&D, does copies of the original rules still exist somewhere in that fabled...

What the hell are you talking about?! Excuse my french. The Box is open late on Fridays (till 21:00) and usually after six on weekends. (They don't open up till noon on those days though. but that exactly targets the lazy asses who make up a majority of their clientele.) While it is true that...

Alberta, born an' raised! You have it backwards by the way, Texas want's to be like us. As for Helspar, well currently he's operating out of a place that suspiciously looks like Hommlet, running from Blue Dragons, and just trying to find a safe place to sleep and the odd meal now and then...

Normally that's what poor Helspar would do if his original spellbook hadn't been stolen. Going on a quest to regain it with no spells of one's own seems foolish. Fortunately he had one he aquired from an NPC (actually Charwynn's from the Sunless Citadel) and has set to work using it. It doesn't...

If a character aquires a spellbook from another wizard, is there any rules for making this book one of your own? Or is it forever considered a "Borrowed" spellbook, requiring the spellcraft check to memorize spells from it. Is there downtimes required for it, time or components?

113) When the call goes out for Adventurerers, Heroes and Men of Faith, and all you get are are Thieves, Murderers and Renouncers of God.

You whine like a mule 'thotep! You are still alive!;) Some people just don't take critisism well that's all.
