That's the prime reason I try to incorporate reskinning into my GM technique. Secondary, I like to have new creatures, but I don't have the mechanical intuition to always tell when one of my whole cloth creations is too easy or too difficult for my players' characters--and I'd rather not...

Nameless seems like a nice guy with an unfortunate appearance whom I'd like to drink expensive coffee with and talk about the universe. But not too long, because I don't want to go more insane, and I'm pretty sure my wisdom score couldn't handle it. I really like the "behind the scenes" bits...

More please! :D I was biding some time by reading all of Shilsen's SH, but now I'm finished. Yet my appetite has only increased!

Ooo, I just caught up and am looking forward to reading the final battle. Though seriously I think Gareth should be much more afraid of Lalia than of Xoriat, and Xoriat isn't anywhere near as nuts as Luna.

I'm curious. WotC has been a subsidiary of Hasbro since 1999. How independent is WotC? How much of their decision-making is a result of Hasbro leaning on them to cut costs, increase market share, and in general increase their margin? It's fine to discuss the strategies of the two, but unless I'm...

This topic is really one of my favorites and is, I think, required reading for any DM who wants to run something going from the epic realm to further heights (or depths, as it may sometimes be). I really enjoy the plot, but I find the mechanics and the organization of the world revealing in...

There must be something wrong with me because those last two posts had me stifling mad laughter on the MBTA.

I need more of this as motivation to pass some exams. :) *brings bowl around, makes orphan eyes, pleads.*

The suspense! Ack! I usually run/play in PbPs. Sometimes it's lightning fast, sometimes it takes months to finish an encounter. But I do like the luxury of having the time to make an IC decision and weigh a character's response rather than the tabletop immediacy, which tends to run on my...

Nothing creepier than eyeball-eating monsters. Nothing.

Definitely! Please do. It's intriguing.

This is the sort of thing I'd like to implement in my numbers games... How awesome!

*showers Talien with praise* Ia Ia updates fhtagn! I just finished catching up; this is wonderful. I feel like I'm learning more about the art and science of making your players both paranoid and happy. Thanks for the wonderful story hour!

I look forward to reading! I am having the same problem with starting a campaign.

Story hour updates like this are the best Christmas presents.

Is there a house rule somewhere about the ironstorm + chain lightning combo, or is that a... canon combo? It sounds like something I'd like to try. :3

I'm looking for a game to join in the Boston - Providence areas. I currently commute between the two cities for grad school, and I find I'd like to join a game for some fun and for some socializing. Nothing good comes from spending all your free time in an apartment. I haven't played a regular...

Whoa, I've lost track. Is Rose a PC or an NPC?

I joined just to keep reading this--my unregistered access to Story Hour threads apparently was dismissed some time ago, so I registered, and now I'm briefly delurking. I've been enjoying the Company's adventures for some time, as a friend from another bb recommended them to me, and through...
