    DINO-PIRATES OF NINJA ISLAND Online!

    Hey folks. Just a heads-up that I've begun a series of blog posts on the DINO-PIRATES OF NINJA ISLAND sample characters. This week it's Kana, the dino-controlling jungle girl!

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    FYI: I've just updated the original post with the last RTF of the final Canto. Over 150,000 words. That's about 600 pages, which is a good-sized book by anyone's standards, I reckon.

    Define some genres

    Wow, awesome to see the life come back here! I think it's worth pointing out that Hobo's current PbP game I'm basically exactly resembles his first post in this thread: Warhammer + Iron Kingdoms + Cthulhu + Edgar Rice Burroughs + Ribald Sex Comedy. Well, he said "steamy"...

    Thanks! I'm by no means a graphic designer, but I do like a simple, easy-to-read layout.

    DINO-PIRATES OF NINJA ISLAND Online!

    If you purchase a copy of SLAVE QUEEN OF THE RUINED CITY (for the very reasonable price of $6), you get Doctor Kalchok. And Doctor Kalchok has the one thing better than lasers: he has a frickin' RAYGUN. There's even a picture. Huh? Who loves you, baby?

    DINO-PIRATES OF NINJA ISLAND Online!

    I don't have any plans to do so. Much of the site is data-driven and so doesn't lend itself to offline use. I recognize it would be helpful, but there's the few remaining shreds of my sanity to consider.

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    No, psionics is the ability to manipulate the Dream Worlds, in the same manner that sorcery is the ability to manipulate the Shadow Realm. Dream energy is chaotic and wild, and sorcerous energy is consuming and nullifying. There were also characters who could summoun temporary entities out of...

    Your Real Self? Or Not?

    I play characters who are exactly like me in every way.

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    Actually, no, not at all. The prehistory of Barsoom goes like this: first there's chaos, opposed by nothingness. Out of the boundary there, consciousness forms. Multiple consciousnesses form. Consciousness desires to sustain itself rather than be consumed by either chaos or nothingness, and so...

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    Right, the Angels. Ha, ha. That set of games took place in Tianguo during the terrible hellish regime of the Demon Goddess. Yep, our brave and good-hearted heroines were, unbeknownst to them, serving the whims and savage appetites of an insane vampire who was torturing and slaughtering...

    Sorry, I forgot to type the last two words of that last update. Sorry about that. Not so much of an extended ending, you see. That was the end of the last session. So I know, I know, you want to know what happened to everyone. Arrafin does NOT come back. She stays dead. Etienne, Elena and...

    Son of the Story Hour Sampler Thread

    The following is from Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and Bloody Revenge!, which is the second thread of my Barsoom campaign. Our heroes find themselves in Castle Dannockshire, home of the mysterious Madame Yuek, whose intentions are unclear. This story hour has just been completed...

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    What A Woman's Got To Do: 21 Three angry women stood around the limp body of Etienne. Arrafin glared at Elena. Elena glared at Yuek. Yuek yawned elaborately, one slender hand in front of her mouth. "Do you have a better idea? Or are you just going to stare at me until your friend starts to...

    Apologies everyone about the delays for this last episode. It's not going to go up this week, either, but next week for sure. Sorry!

    What A Woman's Got To Do: 20 The dazed little group of survivors -- Etienne, Isaac, Arrafin and Madame Yuek -- staggered away from the ruins of the pagoda, dust still billowing about them in choking clouds. They crossed the well-kept lawn but came to a stumbling halt as Arrafin teetered...

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    That battle (which was actually MORE complex in real life than I was able to present here) is one of my shining moments as a GM. It took two full sessions to play out and everyone was utterly gripped throughout. Elena's player was actually playing Kimiko Torokan, so I didn't know how that was...
