    School Functions

    It wasn't my event. It was your event. You use some common sense. It's harder than just complaining on a message board while hiding behind an alias, but it's also more likely to produce worthwhile results.

    [Sword & Sorcery] Barbarians of Lemuria? Anyone?

    I get that, Deuce Traveler. There's a free, older version that I'd forgotten about. Maybe that'd work?

    School Functions

    I've been a teacher since 1996. IME, parents who complain about school functions should stop complaining, come up with ideas to make things better, and then volunteer to help.

    [RECRUITING! - Old School Mash-Up] The City of the Sleeping Demon OOC

    Cool. Let's see if anyone else chimes in. After a couple of days or so, I could attempt to re-recruit, and then advance the plot a bit to introduce new characters, et cetera. Thoughts?

    Welcome to Reyr's Well

    Genovefa stops at her home long enough to secure the recaptured bird. Dozens of bird cages hang from hooks under the eaves of her home. Within the cages, scores of birds sing, hop, and flutter. From across the stream that cuts through town, the warm smell of baked bread wafts through the air...

    Do you care what other people think of you?

    For the vast majority of the people in the world, no, I don't particularly care. For the small remainder, I care a great deal.

    [OOC] Welcome to Reyr's Well!

    Obviously, one of the features of a PbP game is slowness. What would be played out in a few minutes at a table in my library gets played out in a few weeks on a message board. After a while, this creates the understandable impression that not much has been accomplished. To help remedy this...

    Welcome to Reyr's Well

    When Karl lets go of Genovefa's head, he catches her eyes, and it seems to him that there is a knowing glint therein, as if perhaps she knew that Karl was checking her for valuables. If so, however, she doesn't say anything, but instead answers Karl's question. "The Unicorn's just down this...

    I guess I should stick a fork in this one. :)

    Welcome to Reyr's Well

    The elf and Molly watch as Karl fills his palm with ration crumbs and holds his hand up for the bird to see. The elf moves closer, standing with Karl between her and the bird, and she continues to chirp. Then, with a flutter of feathers, the colorful bird flits from the roof to Karl's hand...

    Sexism in Table-Top Gaming: My Thoughts On It, and What We Can Do About It

    As I've mentioned before, I don't have problems related to female gamers being treated badly in my gaming group because female gamers are not generally permitted in my gaming group. It's not called Man-Day Adventures for nothing. I don't have problems related to female gamers being treated badly...

    Welcome to Reyr's Well

    The elven woman starts a bit. She obviously wasn't paying enough attention to have seen either adventurer. "What?" she says. Then, she smiles and laughs a bit. "Oh, yes. I'm afraid so." She points to the bird, which is now perched on an eave and preening its tail feathers. "I'm afraid one of my...

    Welcome to Reyr's Well

    OOC: Wow! Work is killing me. There's something really different about this school, but I'll be durned if I can figure out what it is. Karl and Molly continue their stroll deeper in Reyr's Well. Karl keeps an eye on the locals. He and Molly certainly attract attention, but no one seems to pay...

    Welcome to Reyr's Well

    The pair of adventurers continue on across the bridge passed the bell mired in mud at the river's edge. At the next cross street, to the right, they can better see the mill with the guard tower farther on. The guard seems to be watching still. The mill's modest waterwheel splashes and creaks in...

    [Old School Mash-Up] The City of the Sleeping Demon

    Thuddar rushes forward across the strange bridge to reach Attila's position. In those few moments, the creatures inside the building haven't moved. They're definitely alive. Their thoraxes expand and contract slowly as they breathe.
