Now that's an interesting little factoid. :D This is sort of an odd tangent, but I was remembering visiting my dad's shop as a kid when I wrote this. My dad retreaded tires and I was remembering the noise the metal rims make when my dad was using a mallet and crowbar to pry the tire off: very...

Damn. I really liked Threshold, but I was hoping at least Invasion would survive. I didn't like Invasion as much, but it really had been getting good (a little scary, too).

Wow, nicely done. And while on vacation, too! :D See you in a couple of weeks, Kid!

Thanks, Lela! :) If anyone else has read the first post in this new storyline, please reread it. I needed to post corrections today; besides getting the story straight, there are some details that will be important later in the campaign.

As a player, OF SOUND MIND - some of the locations and NPCs are still minor parts of the campaign. As a DM, most recently it was MAD GOD'S KEY. One of the McGuffins (the stolen book) is a major part of the campaign.

Galahorn or the Curious Adventure of the Glass Coffin EDIT: Much to my embarrassment, I got some of the details wrong, so I needed to repost this section with corrections. I also wanted to add some background to KidCharlemagne's campaign setting and Master Lykor's lecture seemed like a good...

Epilogue Summer is definitely over; one morning, the students awaken to find their breath misting in their cold rooms. After they have washed up and dressed, the pretty maid brings up a fresh load of wood for the stove. With eyes lowered demurely and a lovely blush to her cheeks, she tells them...

Negotiating the way out of the mines is tricky. The little band is now burdened with extra gear and three exhausted children. No one has slept well, nor eaten recently. Ishii is still bruised and George's leg, though nearly healed, is still tender and trembles when he puts any weight upon it...

"Well?" George asks. "I have no idea what it is," Dante whispers. "And the person who might we can't trust right now." "What's there to know? Shouldn't we just destroy it?" Jade rolls his eyes. "Yes, George, that's what Dante is saying. He doesn't know how." George frowns. "Maybe I could...

Jade arranges the sleeping boy and Serai side by side on the ground and tends to them. Their pulses and breathing are strong, so he leaves them for the moment to free the children in the cage. The encaged boy is suspicious and watches the elf closely as he picks the lock on the door. Opening...

Meanwhile, Jade is calculating. The archers, he decides, are worrysome, but overall, the goblins are disorganized. With the blues and the hulking nightmare of a goblin dead, there is a desperation to their attacks. He decides they will flee or try to, if he lets them. With a glance at Ishii's...

In the room beyond, Ishii hunches low to the ramp and watches. The cavern, widened and smoothed by labor and magic, is well-lit by torches. He notices at once the green-skinned goblins working among the ruined furniture. The floor was once burnished copper, but is now scratched and tarnished...

George’s triumph is short-lived. It is swallowed by the gaping hole that is the chamber beyond the statue. There is a short hush. Then Dante, with great caution and hesitation, enters it. “It’s clear,” he says softly, though his voice still echoes against the stone walls. George brushes the...

I know this isn't really a "guy thing" but depending on how much you want to spend you can get him a gift bag of cool baby stuff - some diapers, maybe some bibs, some cool baby toys, maybe a kids album from They Might Be Giants. here's some sites for ideas: http://www.babywit.com/...

wait - partner as in husband or partner as in business partner? We stopped watching about a month or so ago because the episode were a bit stinky, but now I wonder if we made a mistake. This sounds much more interesting than the ghost of the week they were doin before.

You realize that Google archives these things forever, right? :]

But of course! :D I tear out the sheet first and put cardboard underneath. I've been thinking about using color pencils to do a super fancy one (one that I can use for several sessions). What's cute is that two of the players in my group often save the maps after the adventure is complete; one...

This thread needs a poll. I'd vote for party, campaign or convention.

Yes. I love them. It is a huge time saver (for those of us who bother with battle maps and minis) and sometimes I get creative and make them as pretty as I can. :)
