    Generation: rolling vs. point buy

    For online games, I would definitely use point allocation. It keeps things fair and easy to manage. For TT, most of the groups I’m in or have gamed with prefer rolling. The two methods I’ve been using lately are: All stats generated with 10+1d8, ensuring no negative modifiers. OR Roll 4d6...

    Valdaris looks up from his conversation with the monk and over towards Lokin and Kol, catching the glint of Lokin’s sword as it is sheathed. He addresses the pair of them. “That is a fine blade you have there, friend. Do you know if ther is much call for that line of work around here?” He...

    Shark Week Starts Tonight!

    I can't believe that you guys get a whole 'Shark Week'! I'm insanely jealous. I'm a frequent SCUBA diver and shark fanatic and would love nothing more than to sit in front of the couch for 168 hours of shark footage!

    How to handle a dud of a party

    I definitely sympathise with you Mega. To me, once you commit to something, you should follow-through on that obligation or have a damn good reason not to. Otherwise, face up to it and just say no in the first place. Though, just because you might be a responsible and considerate person, often...

    City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn X

    Valdaris studies the dark-skinned elf with mild curiosity, regarding the ‘long white linen tunic and white linen breeches’ and ‘waist-length hair severely tied back with a silk sash dyed a dark yellow, the sash woven into his hair along its entire length, ending in a brass tip’. Seemingly...

    “So it would seem. By the gods, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many wizards seeking employment in the same place before. Let us hope that there is an employer soon, or we shall lose a whole generation of magic!” The human speaks with more than a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he addresses...

    “Then I am pleased to meet you, master gnome. It’s not every day that I speak with those of your ilk, so your ways are mostly unknown to me... “So, a pair of wizards and a dwarf. I see that you are somewhat acquainted. How is it that you came to be in this place?” The human takes another swig...

    As one of those with a L1 character ready to go, I think that’s a wonderful idea ‘nock. Everyone in the RDI is jostling for position to make sure their voice is heard. Like a stampede I tells ya. There’ll certainly be no shortage of willing participants! Also, pleased to see that RA has a heap...

    Valdaris replies to what seems like a challenge from the belligerent little humanoid with his usual indifference. “Bigger they are, ‘arder they fall. Eh?... well, good luck to ya on the back o’ that.” He drops into a seat at the first available table and takes a full swig of his ale, regarding...

    Valdaris turns to see where the voice emanated from, coming to rest his eyes on the gnome,"Ahhh. And you are one of those, are you, little one, with their services to offer? What are your talents?"

    City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn X

    A scruffy looking man in his late twenties enters the inn. He is slightly taller than average, with a strong build and a dour expression. His dark blue eyes are not dull, yet they show an indifference that is reinforced by an unshaven face supporting several days growth. A deep, long scar runs...
