This story hour is mainly made-up dialogue simply because the game was so long ago. I try to capture the characters, but the dialogue is far from precise. "Tears in Hell" is much closer to verbatim because that's the game we're playing now and I have people writing down memorable quotes and we...

Angel in the Devil’s Shoes Part IV --- The voices in his head had eased to mere whispers. Ryan swung the flashlight in front of him as he wandered the stone passageways of the prison. Several corpses of guards had provided him with an only slightly bloody uniform, a pistol, and several...

Careful with the assumptions there, Xeno. ;) Ryan was a PC - but I sometimes like to have my PCs competing. In my current (and more regularly updated) modern campaign I'm actually having a friend from another state run one of the antagonists in the background. Makes for more inventive...

Coffee n Donuts 11:15 AM Sunday, July 18th Riverside Community Hospital, Newport News, Virginia As the elevator doors clunked shut behind them, Meadow and Rebecca discussed their next stop. “I’d like to get ahold of Allison. I haven’t talked to her since our fiasco with the a**hole. She was...

You are too correct, Gina! It's late, so this will be a quick one. Things are starting to move fast though, and get ugly.

Hospital Visit 9:00 AM Sunday, July 18th Newport News, Virginia The companions crowded in the motel room the next morning, discussing what they’d discovered and what their plans were for the day. Rebecca sat at a table in front of Quinton’s laptop. “The KOA on the Beach was a waste of time...

Yay, props! I actually tend to read the newer story hours, now. I got in with Drunk Southern Girls and Medallions, but some of the really big ones just scare me off. So much reading at one time! Pity, because some of them are just fantastic, from the bit I've seen of them. When I find the...

That's where I fall in, Pogre. When work is slamming me (usually) I just try to keep my SH going and read what I can find time for. When it slows down I like to try a bit of everything and then settle on a few. I tend to like the Modern more than the fantasy, but there are a few fantasy...

Hi all! I was just fighting through the way-too-many story hours I'm trying to follow right now (and getting a bit lost in the process) and I began to wonder how many stories other people follow. So, how many story hours do you follow, and how often do you read them?

Chapter 5 The Wrong Orders Vesmer 24 Helvent peered through the bushes at the caravan. A huge group of women clothed in white robes and wearing the medallions of Alyara were setting up camp for the evening. A few were lightly armed with staves and the occasional spear or sword, but most...

That's just the feedback I'm looking for! Thanks, SJ. I did notice the original intros were pretty chunky, so I'm trying to break the actual story hour into more manageable chunks. The electric outlet is coming in pretty soon, so stand by! He was a lot of fun to play with - great character...

Chapter 4 Welton --- Vesmer 30 The sun had long set and the chill night air was settling in stronger than ever as the companions stumbled to the gate of the small town of Welton. Nuvarell strained under Juni's weight as the woman quivered and shook in the pain of her sickness. Algrel...

I do indeed live in the area, but I'm the newbie around here (a couple years, most of that as little more than a visitor). I actually get a lot of feedback - during game and between games - from the other players on where I've messed up. Often they just tell me what they're doing and I have to...

Chapter 3 Attack in the Desert --- Vesmer 26 The companions dusted themselves off as they stumbled from the rubble of the cave entrance into the chill night air. "Fortunate the rapscalion was in a hurry else he may have done a more thorough job of it," Juni said as she gazed back at the...

Skirt Chase, Car Chase, Goose Chase 8:00 PM Saturday, July 17th Shields Restaurant, Williamsburg, Virginia “I wasn’t sure you’d make it. We’ve really had some trouble getting together lately, haven’t we?” Alli sipped her wine. Her salad sat mostly untouched in front of her. Meadow took...

All apologies to my loyal readers for taking so long to update! I had to go keep the world safe for democracy for a couple weeks, but now I'm back and an update is en route. In the meantime I'm going to pop up a little survey to get my players into a competitive mood. (Assuming I can figure...

Chapter 2 The Tomb of Varghani-Shisovo Vesmer 26 The sun was beginning to sink behind the mountains to the west when Mutere's voice broke the long day's silence. "'Round here it is. That rock there, the hand it is, no?" Nearly two hours of searching the area finally produced a dark...

Chapter 1 The Lovely Bard, the Haughty Mage --- Vesmer 24 He was a young man, with the dark complexion of all Varghani and eyes that seemed to burn with a desire yet undiscovered. The red dundra-hair robes he wore seemed ill suited for the sweltering heat of the Varghani Desert sun, but...

Tureik Stormspawn I am far from a normal man, more created than born. My mind was taken from a peasant child, my body created in the Al'Sharaq Stormvats. The melding of the two is a process created by the priests of this vile city many years ago, though it is far from perfected at this...

Juni Ber Lar'Sheni Dhazyran Bard Where to begin... so much has happened in my short life thus far. My mother was a Dhazyran nomad, my father a Damaristani mercenary (I think.) I spent my younger years wandering Mythosa with the rest of my tribe, performing for villages of bored peasants and...
