MY PLAYERS STAY OUT! In our next session, the PCs in my Eberron game (see sig) are going to be going after a dragon for truth, justice and general looting. Assuming that they win, they'll be entering the dragon's lair, which is likely underground and perhaps underwater (it is close to a large...

I've updated Six's, Korm's and Luna's characters in the Rogue's Gallery thread here, in case anyone is curious about them. Nameless updated his PC too.

And, of course, there are many variations to the divide which don't fall into the categories above. For example, I like to have a fair amount of risk in the game and especially repercussions for failure on the part of the PCs. But I personally find death (especially permanent character death) to...

What he said. I just posted after nearly 2 months, which is (I think) the single longest hiatus in posts on my SH. The SH has been around for 3 years, since the earliest post is dated 10 May '06, and I know I had to restart it after the original one was lost in an ENWorld server crash a few...

And here, finally, it is... * * * * * * * * * * The Guardian Angels reappear in the Gray House in Sharn to find Trillia waiting for them, with Fett in attendance. While their major-domo retains a calm appearance, Nameless’ erstwhile mentor is disheveled and clearly worried. Trillia spins around...

Pretty good, though busy as hell with work stuff. Plus once you get out of the habit of doing regular updates, it takes a little time to get back into the groove. But I've been working on the latest one and am most of the way through it. Also, we started gaming after my return to the US and have...

Bertie Wooster vs. Cthulhu? Brilliant concept, Hobo! I was going to suggest some common habits from the books that you could use, but your list below is more than substantial enough, I think. About the only thing I would think of adding at this point is to play him (and I'm not sure how you...

Very rarely. Nope. I consider it to generally be a negative thing. And I also think that there is little which is necessarily pure or true about this form of roleplaying, in comparison to any other. In fact, I would generally consider someone claiming that he was "roleplaying" his...

:D That's what Nameless keeps saying about her. Aha! I always knew that as an "Arrr!", so I missed it. In other news, I'm back in the USA. But since I'm currently juggling my own dissertation work, preparing for the classes I'm teaching starting Tuesday, moving into a new apartment, and a...

Beats me! You know I never plan ahead :) In all likelihood, the dragons wouldn't have gone right for the kill, but rather would have tried to capture you guys so that they could learn what you knew of blood magic and how you'd gained that information. They'd only kill if you seemed likely to...

Nice analogy. And it applies for the campaign as a whole, I think :) That was a very interesting moment for me, since I was quite prepared for things to go very badly as soon as the blood magic got mentioned. As usual, I didn't know what would eventually happen, since I was playing it by ear...

:D Thanks. And it's just as much due to the players as me. I put a lot of stuff out there and see what they bite at. As for the NPCs, I have a Word document just listing names of those who have showed up in the game, and that stretches a few pages. Doing the writeups does help me remember...

I prefer John's version. Steve's version looks a little too clean to me, and even though John's one looks more like a real map (and by real I mean medieval/Renaissance), John's is also much more legible to me.

Handled on forums: Nalyna’s home is a palatial set of apartments in the Terrace, the second tier of the city and the same one which the Dragon Green is in. Half a dozen people, consisting of friends and former students or colleagues of the retired weapon-master, accompany him and the Angels as...

Luckily for the NPC, he managed to make his escape when the others left. Luna was distracted arguing with Gareth about the planned return to fight Gary Gygax. That argument is now a salient (or maybe not) part of every session :p Nope. It was part shorthand and part handwaving. I didn't want...

While Gareth is celebrating his engagement with Lalia, Six is at Onatar’s Forge in the Cogs, speaking to the warforged priest Smith about all the things he has discovered recently. Among other things, he describes his encounter with the warforged in the Mournland at the Lord of Blades’ old camp...

Thanks. But I'm just lazier than you two, and probably a little more focused on the game-play angle, so I tend to think of that first and filter the flavor through/towards it. That's all. Actually, the stuff which you guys have put up all has tons of potential, and I've got dozens of plot...

Saw this on the weekend, and the vampire mouse summed up my take on it precisely.

Rule 12 for retaining sanity on the internet: Thou shalt not care what a random stranger on the internet says or does. Seriously, if I didn't hold firmly to the above dictum, I'd sometimes have a hard time on ENWorld too. But I do hold to it, so I just take the good when I find (and there's a...

Luckily, they'll get over it soon, I'm sure :) See below! * * * * * * * * * * King Boranel calls to the Deneith Throne Wardens, “Keep everyone outside for now. Just in case.” Kaius adds his voice and the Wardens comply, though after a moment they let Jaela through. Sora Maenya, now certain...
