Ah, yes. Heilyn's player had told me about this little escapade. I've been eagerly expecting it for a while...

1) Actually, what I said is "This time with feeling." 2) I never claimed there are no Buffy references. I just claimed that the title "Welcome to the Halmae" is not an intentional one. 3) Yeah, 'cause no one ever used the phrase "once more, with feeling" before Joss Whedon put pen to paper...

Okay. This time, with feeling...

No, no, no, this isn't a self-esteem problem. It's a question about posting images on the boards. It's clear to me how the IMG tags work, but I don't know where I can store my images on-line so that I can post them. Is there some place to upload them, or do I need to find a friend of my own...

And now, we enter the age of the truly multi-media story hour. This is a visual aid for the next installment: a map of the current state of the School of Alchemy. Will our daring heroes contain the fire? Or will our intrepid DM be forced to roll five times on the table of spells for magical...

To my extreme irritation, I was pretty much unable to find rules in the Core books for firefighting, so I had to make it up on my own. The basic rule was this: Each round, a burning square would ignite adjacent squares (depending on wind direction). Those adjacent squares got a DC 15 save. If...

>sigh< I'm such a softie. See, the crit that the beast used to kill that poor student was rolled for Lira. But, well, it would have killed, killed her dead. Now, I don't mind killing characters, but I hate it when they die stupid, unsatisfying deaths. In this case, it would have been due...

If sex is more messy than a Cthulhu game, I think you're doing one of the two wrong. ;)

And still the number one reason why Bad Monkey Jeff is getting coal in his stocking from me again this year... ;) In other news, it turns out that watching eleven and a half hours worth of Lord of the Rings movie is harder your neck than it is on your butt. Who'd have guessed? Oh, and special...

Ahhh, I was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on that. The Sovereignty of Kettenek is one of the three major "kingdoms" of the Halmae, along with the Darine Confederacy and the Empire of Ebis. They'll be covered in a forthcoming sidebar, "Kingdoms of the Halmae". It came up 'cause the...

There is general agreement, especially among those learned in religion, that the gods are abstract and unknowable. Thus, while you can quibble philosophy between orders, there's very little fundamentalism. The heads of the Churches all know that there are many correct interpretations. It's...

Sidebar: Religious Orders of the Halmae Just before the attack at the Mages’ Academy began, our heroes visited a number of religious orders in Dar Pykos to seek aid for their cause. Most of these discussions happened off-screen. But we thought some of you out there might be a little curious...

Well, we take pride in our cruelty around here. Glad it's appreciated. Alas, I'm afraid we're going to have to be a little more cruel than usual this time. See, spyscribe is going into finals week for her last semester of grad school. There may be some time before she gets a chance to post...

Trust me, if you knew everything about the characters involved that I know, you'd agree that your way didn't make any sense. Of course, that also means you'd have been rummaging around inside my brain, and we all know that nothing good comes of that. :D

Well, as long as we're off the subject... :rolleyes: The idea of writing up Stone Tablet has been discussed before, and hasn't happened 'cause, well, I need to sleep. As for notes... ain't much of 'em. Especially to cover the five years we were playing regularly before neoweasel joined...

No worries. Nobody's goin' anywhere. Things may be a tad slow through the holidays, but there's plenty of story left to tell (in fact, we're still about a year and a half behind). Glad to see so many folks are enjoying our little game, and welcome aboard Seonaid. As spyscribe put it to me...

Now, now, neoweasel, in-jokes make people feel left out. Especially our thousands* of readers who don't know that you're referring to the characters we play in the three-times-a-year campaign we're in together, which will have its next session just before Christmas. We wouldn't want to leave...

And ohhhhhh, how disappointed he was... :p

Donated on 10/27. Remembered to do this on 11/10. Finally did it on 11/11 Fajitas Jeremy Bernstein Order #47792
