Well, I was supposed to spend this afternoon paying bills and getting work done. Instead, I've spent it doing this, 'cause geography is about to start becoming relevant. Enjoy. This map represents the known world of the Halmae. Or, at least, what's known in the Confederacy. The Sovereignty...

*LOL* Lady, you kill me. :D On average, it's only somewhere around 6 or 7 sessions per. However, that number is skewed 'cause, we got *way* sidetracked between archmagi One and Two. I found a fun little Dungeon module that I thought I'd run them through for a brief lark. Then all hell...

I don't think it would have been a long sojourn in Dar Und. I figured it was the last time they'd be in the area for a while, and that perhaps, before they went out to explore the world at large, I could introduce them to one more city-state. Which is not to say that there won't be...

I actually spent a lot of time thinking about the calendar in the Halmae. I decided early on that being able to keep track of dates and how much time had passed was useful, so I definitely wanted a calendar. The problem was that, logically, the Halmae should have a sixteen-month calendar: four...

Ah, but she didn't. The full details will be revealed in our next exciting update (or, possibly, the one after that. Not sure how they're spaced out). And hey, glad we could distract you from masters thesing. Lord knows gaming distracted me from mine...

Well, sometimes when you're alone in a strange city and, y'know, enslaved against your will, sometimes your zombies are the only ones who will talk to you. It's kind of like Lost in Translation, but with more undead. By the way, the final fate of Edmund was an outcome I decided to leave up to...

So there we were, waaaaaaay back in Dar Aego. And Cyrus, this undead hunter was a member of the party. And I thought, "Gosh, I've got an undead hunter in the party. I better add some undead." Thus was Amelia born. Then Cyrus's player stopped showing up. And the PCs decided that they should...

Yeah, the first time I read this sentence, I had the wrong Blues entirely in my head. I was thinking, "I didn't know they had harmonicas in Ancient Rome..." :confused: All better now.

Y'know, on the subject of Amn, we had a memorable D&D game once in which our poor PCs were defending a keep about to be attacked in force by the Amnish army. It was a dire and serious situation, six against thousands, and we all just kept giggling our socks off 'cause, well, it ain't very far...

Pykosian names are by-and-large English, by which I mean British. I decided this not quite early enough into the game, which is why, for example, Regger/Reller/Remmer had a weird, made-up fantasy name. If I had it to do over, his names would be Nick/Rick/Dick, or some variant thereof. Every...

Hmph. To you, maybe... ;)

Well, I don't. Not since I cut myself shaving with it, anyway. I'm more into Occam's Electric Beard-Trimmer since then.

Thanks for the birthday well-wishes, everyone. I had a wonderful birthday weekend, full of good friends and time spent plotting evil things to do to them in-game.

Ahhh, Moira, one of my all time favorite Halmae characters. Moira was brought in as a PC by Thatch's player's girlfriend at the time, after having previously cameoed as Dennis. She was out in LA for the summer, and joined the game. Unfortunately, we didn't play quite as much that summer as...

Hmph. Wiseguy. ;)

Close, cat, but dpdx has it. You're thinking of Annika, who wasn't that important. At the time...

There were approximately 200 students at the Academy before the fire, and nine professors. All other details... you'll have to wait for the next update.

Nothing quite so complicated, I'm afraid. I think it was just a Dex check. The pitcher, of course, moved randomly throughout the room, careening off walls and such. That particular bit of the scenario played out exactly the way I hoped it would: low-strength character starts out with it...

Thanks, porthos. We like to think we can. We think we can. For the record, the entire Mages' Academy fire represented two straight sessions of non-stop combat time, which is pretty intense for 2nd level characters. Also, for the record, I've included the various fire fighting techniques...
