Having seen the movie, I can answer your questions, primarily by confirming that Tarrasque Wrangler is right on all counts. Specifically: 1: Book happens not to be in that shot. 2: That is not Serenity. 3: This is not a question (didn't really need to see the movie to figure that one out...

Thanks, dp. This was pretty much my first stab at running something like a horror adventure, and I'm fairly pleased with the results. Glad to see it's working for you, too (and props to spyscribe for capturing the feel). I *so* wish I could claim credit for the overall idea behind this...

It is worth noting that raising the dead is not an abomination to Kettenek (not according to any of the mainstream Churches, anyway). The thinking is that if someone comes back from the dead, it's because Kettenek was willing to let them return (even if the raising is done by a cleric of one of...

In general, I believe that burial is the proper custom, not just for Kettenites, but for everyone. Kettenek is, after all, the Lord of the Dead. Bodies should properly be interred in his element. Burning of bodies has been known to happen, particularly if there's reason to worry that they...

I can tell you what I told Spyscribe-- I would take away her levels in sorcerer. I would replace them with levels in something else (I'm not about to turn a 4th level character back into a 1st level character). What exactly they would be replaced with would be based largely on a conversation I...

And here we are, at long last, at the second of the two Dungeon adventures I've run thus far. Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to "Totentanz"* ** * A highly modified "Totentanz", but "Totentanz" nonetheless. ** Dungeon 90 for those who want to play along at home.

Anyone else remember when they found the big not-evil rock and had to fight those weird zombies that puffed clouds of spores at them whenever they got hit? Mmmmmm. Zombie spores. >sigh< I was very, very disappointed that they cast remove disease on Benedic. Stupid rabies.

I was quite positive that, at some point in the year plus between when this mission started and when the PCs got to Chi'i, I was going to inadvertantly refer to the five archmagi in front of at least one of the players, 'cause that's how I'd always been thinking of them in my head. I'm...

Evil. Genius. Evil genius.

It's religious. Alirrian and Sedellan sects tend to take the feminine terms to describe all their members, while Kettenite and Ehktian sects tend to take the masculine ones. Thus, Alirrian monks are all Sister So-and-so, Kettenite monks are all Brother So-and-So. Sedellan knights are all...

Didn't I mention in her portfolio? Alirria is the goddess of downers. ;) Seriously, I didn't mean for all the prophesies to come out so doom and gloomish. I didn't really realize that they had until we were actually in the middle of them. But then, I suppose, if the prophecies were that...

Heya, folks. Just wanted to let anyone that's not one of my players know: I now have a Thread That Must Not Be Named. Secrets of the Halmae is now up in the Rogues' Gallery forum. It's full of spoilery goodness, request for help in design, and whatever other stuff I feel like putting there...

So, Creative Problem the First: Here's the situation. The PCs have recently returned to their home city of Dar Pykos, after having sought out the most powerful archmages in the world. Each archmage has been invited to come to the city to "interview" for the position of Chancellor of the...

Heya, folks. Welcome to the Thread That Must Not Be Named for my home-brew campaign, Welcome to the Halmae. As the title says, my players shouldn't read this, as I expect it to be full of spoilery goodness. Anyone not one of my players, read on. This is the place where I'll answer (some)...

Well, in the absence of further, as yet unrevealed information to the contrary, I'll stand by my analysis. After all, there may be many examples of colored things in Het Branoi, but so far only one of them has exploded out of control when combined with two Eyes of Moriel...

Just promise me you won't start offering updates in exchange for pictures of *that*...

>grin< Ah, the joy of suspicious PCs. I love the bit where everyone analyzes her with their own particular divination spell. "Detect Evil?" "Check." "Detect Undead?" "Check." "Spirit Sight?" "Check." "Arcane Sight?" "Check." "Anyone got anything else?" "I've got Detect Poison." >long pause<...

So, are we then to assume that the Eye of Moriel in Het Branoi is the red one? Or is this just a chromatic coincidence? Is it possible that the voice of the Chaos was actually the voice of the Eye of Moriel?

Hmmm. Well, so far I count 11 write-in votes for smeg (12 if I count the person who said they *would* have voted for it had it been there, but instead voted for something else), and it's unclear how many non-posting voters might have gone for it. A definite contender. It completely escaped my...

Let me just say I'm shocked and amazed at the sheer breadth and scope of y'all's knowledge of fictional profanity. Tho' lord knows I probably shouldn't be surprised... ;)
