>sigh< So, I'm probably going to lose geek points for admitting this, but, no. Well, not on my part, at any rate. You see, the world information packet that I wrote for my players began with the words "Welcome to the Halmae" in big letters at the top. It seemed like a good opening line...

Please select your response from the following options: 1) Because you are perceptive. 2) Lucky guess. 3) Because, as an experienced GM, you know that all the best adventures end in tears 4) Because you've read the end of this adventure at the beginning of this thread...

Salt-water, or brine. Technically, it's "halme," but I liked the look of it with an "ae" better. The Halmae is the name of both the large, Mediterranean-like sea at the center of the gameworld (or at least at the center of the map), as well as the lands that surround that sea. Originally...

Rock on! I laughed myself silly reading the HiJinks rules. Can't wait for the wackiness to ensue.

1. It's Greek, not Latin. 2. SO off-topic. Let's save it for our thread. ;) 3. 'twas brilling hanging with Orichalcum and Cerebral Paladin this weekend. They're even cooler than their story-hours and, they, much like Legionnaires, have mad body-surfing skillz.* 4. Llyr's succinct...

Hue, alas, will not be sold into slavery for being the first person to *actually* steal from Count Missola. Though it's an awfully funny idea. For the record, the subtle thing no one ever picked up on related to Desalle's spell-casting abilities. Way back when Desalle first pointed the finger...

So, I think what you're asking is: If someone were convicted of a crime, but was due restitution for a separate crime that had been committed against him, would he receive said restitution? I'd say it's likely to be situationally dependent, based on the relative severity of the two crimes. If...

Hot diggity. I've said it to you before, Ori, and I'll say it again. This game rocks. I find your weaving together of traditional Roman era myths, superstitions, and beliefs and the D&D rules set/spell lists to be nothing short of genius. Can't wait for more.

I'm curious what you see, dp. Feel free to e-mail me with it. There is something pretty subtle in there that even the players missed at the time. Though, to be fair, there are both in and out of game reasons why they'd miss it.

Gawww. Thanks, dpdx. We try. :) In other news, I thought I should take a moment to thank Ms. J.K. Rowlings for the loan of her chest. Err, I mean her magic chest. Err, I mean Mad-Eye Moody's magic trunk, which I've twisted for my own purposes above. There. Y'all knew what I meant...

Well, ever since then, they've been careful to bind and gag prisoners. Though I suppose it's only a matter of time 'til they try that on someone with Still Spell and Silent Spell.:D

The key to Stalwart is that on some level he knew he was doing wrong, but had constructed an elaborate series of self-delusions to convince himself he was in the right. The problem was that these delusions were pretty fragile. Once someone started kicking them apart, the whole thing came...

Spyscribe's pretty much right. I didn't start keeping track of dates right away, but late August is pretty much on track. And, at present, all the months in the Halmae are as long as their modern counterparts. Seasons start at the beginning of a month, so Summer is June, July, August, Autumn...

For those who don't understand what this means, we use Piratecat's Piggy rules when we play. The Piggy (for the uninitiated) is a piggy-bank you keep on the table while playing. It helps keep people focused on the game. If you make an out-of-game reference, you pay the Pig a nickel. Bad puns...

Well, let's not forget that his Attempt to Elude involved rampaging through a major public area in an out-of-control vehicle, so that adds Destruction of Property, Reckless Endangerment, and several counts Assault with a Deadly Wagon... :D

Fortunately, one of my kind-hearted PCs took it upon herself to buy me a book of baby names. Of course, she did that the week before my parents were coming to town. Had to make sure it was well hidden by the time they arrived. That's grief I don't need...:)

Dar Aego is indeed the place the PCs went to buy back wrongly enslaved people. However, slavery is legal in most of the Confederacy. Dar Aego, Dar Henna, Dar Und, and Dar Thane all practice slavery still, as do some of the other kingdoms. There are more places that practice it than don't...

I use index cards, too, which has actually led to me accidentally skipping PCs from time to time. Funny enough, they're always very good about letting me know when I do that. Skipping baddies, that's harder to get them to double check for me.

I suggest beating me about the head and neck with a stick. I found it's worked in the past. ;) My deepest apologies to those waiting for a fix. There's a new update on it's way, and another one in progress. I'm going to try as hard as I can to manage one or two a week 'til we're caught up...

For those who don't know, starting tonight (March 31st) TNN is adding an on-line interactive trivia game to their broadcasts of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's synched up to the broadcast, so it's one of these watch-and-play deals. I've been working on it, and it should be a fun new way to...
