Another Fine Mess: 16 Survey of Ornamental Details Found in the Fountain of Kings The Impact of Kishak Hegemony on Calégrian Monumental Traditions The Fountain of Kings: A Mythological Architecture Nevid rubbed at his eyes and pulled the next book off the stack next to him. Across the table...

Wulf wins.

Just for accuracy's sake.

I'm putting ideas together to launch a DINO-PIRATES OF NINJA ISLAND campaign in January. Chaos has engulfed the island of Hikakilalli and a Ninja needs help on a mission of vengeance...

:( Somedays I hate Toronto.

No, Reyhan was me. As a DM, I'm generally FAR harder on my NPCs than I am on my PCs. My players may not see it that way, I guess, but being an NPC in one of my campaigns is never a ticket to the easy life. Being a Kishak soldier is ESPECIALLY not a ticket to the easy life, by the way.

Another Fine Mess: 15 "The Khadisan awaits you." At least somebody here spoke Imperial Kishak, mused Isaac as he advanced through billowing lines of curtains. Whoever this Khadisan was, she seemed to live at the center of a vast maze of hanging draperies. Everywhere thronged dangerous-looking...

You know, maybe you don't want to be admitting this is something you're an expert on. I'm just saying.

In other words, you agree with Hobo. James Heard clearly said that Wayne Reynolds is a low-rent illustrator whose lack of skill makes him attractive to RPG editors, because they don't have to pay him as much as they would more talented artists. If that's not what he meant, then he should clarify.

Another Fine Mess: 14 "Where did that big Naridic guy go?" Etienne scanned the crowd of Kishaks but failed to find a single Naridic face. The narrow cave opening gave onto a wide cavern dimly lit from evident cracks in the ceiling overhead. Twenty or so Kishak folks gathered around the...

Yeah, it's certainly been done before. It's not notably different from a game like Talisman, really. I guess JK's contention is that if that were done with the D&D brand, it would draw people into playing full-blown D&D. Maybe. Thing is, to play any RPG you have to be willing to first off sit...

What's funny is that the players at this point assumed that the card had applied to Kaley and her sudden interest in Nevid, but that had already been planned into the adventure, so when the card was played, I had to come up with something else. Good times. Good times.

One of the things I love about the style I study is that clumsy/graceful doesn't really impact it at all. I'm tremendously clumsy and have terrible hand-eye coordination but the manner of practice in this style makes those disadvantages much less important. I'm probably not particularly good at...

I've gotten back into a regular routine for swordfighting. I walk about 45 minutes a day going back and forth from work, so that's good, but I haven't been practicing or doing much else lately. So this past week I've gotten out for an hour's worth of swordfighting every two days (Saturday...

Oh, I see. Well then. Er. Shut up.

A confident command of their own strengths. One artist that I've been watching for years now is Claudio Pozas. Seven years ago he did a set of character portraits for my game (which you can see in my Story Hour thread) -- and very fine illustrations they are, too. But if you compare them with...

One more thing I love about True20 -- stat generation is dead easy. Your stats have total up to +6, with no one stat above -5 or below, uh, -3 I think.

I believe a game store on the model of the very successful Drexoll Games in Vancouver would do well in TO. Every time I walk down Queen West I note locations it might work at. And once my current short-term debt is paid off...
