:D Ahhh! The 'highs' of writing stories in this forum... :( ...and the lows of writing stories in this forum. In retrospect, I probably should have done a better job warning would-be readers that this story was decidedly grim. Truth be told, the majority of the recent update was written...

The Return of Ippizicus Child-Eater With each new morning came a new hell. Amelyssan would end his trance, hours before dawn, the very moment he felt the pressing bear down upon him. The demon only partially trapped within Margate’s Staff was growing stronger. Ippizicus’ mental sallies were...

I know. :) But I just wanted to do a quick copy & paste before heading to the mall, and just used the email he sent me. Thanks for the info, though, because I probably would have forgotten regardless. Take care, D

Thanks, hong.

From one of my players: [/b] Any help? D

First of all, welcome to Valusia, Joshua! I had been hoping for some time that I'd be able to rope you into this thread. Vath's personal philosophy slightly resembels a warped version of Kant's Golden Rule - we'll see more later. Thanks for reading. Second, the two aforementioned questions...

Heh - looks like Karrisbane found a pun I didn't intend. The pun that I was referring to was the fact that he "stepped carefully" around Aradeeti mercenaries in both a figurative and literal fashion. Figurative: John watched his behavior and his words when they were nearby, knowing their...

A Fear of Knowing John of Pell had once attempted to depart a lady’s bedchamber, and the oncoming press of the cuckolded husband and his men, by climbing out a fourth-story window and walking along a crumbling parapet. That had been a mistake. Not long thereafter, the southlander had managed...

Love the rune sheet pic. Best wishes to your bro, pogie. Hopefully he latches onto another gaming group at his new home. D

Re: Re: Great Stuff! :) Hope you had fun, pogie! [/b] :( My DM cap is off to you. It appears like you let the dice fall where they may. Although this can be difficult for players and DM alike, I think the moment you remove such a standard the game ceases to be as enjoyable as it could be...

The Sacrifice of Innocents and Innocence It had been some time since Baden had last felt dirty. Not dirty in the sense of having his body and armor covered in grime and dust – he had become accustomed to the rigors of travel long ago. But dirty inside. It was as if his soul had been stained...

I agree. You should have seen the horribly crude map I supplied in the first place so he could work his magic. Nothing short of remarkable. Email sent. :) Baden's player and I talked about a Rogue's Gallery thread for this story hour, and I think - personally - it may not work. At least...

29 years old, married, 2.5 kids. Navy pilot currently flying a desk and planning on entering the "real world" within the year. Been playing D&D off-and-on since about 1983. I'm obsessed with Pittsburgh sports which, unfortunately, causes me to watch the Pirates and get my heart broken on a...

Ah, man...it's little near-hidden gems like these that cause me to read, and re-read, your updates. Though I know nothing "action-oriented" occurred in your most recent post, I think it was one of the best ones yet. I find myself reading these updates, Cin, as if seeing these scenes for the...

Please visit the below link to see the a map of the northwestern region of the Valusian Isle. Northwest Valusia Though the party is not currently within the area depicted on the atlas, I think an update to this story hour is warranted considering the fact I promised to be more industrious with...

First, thanks for reading, Sep. I don't think I need to indicate how much I, and my players, have enjoyed your own story. I could - quite literally - post a full page or two about the elements I most enjoy from your own writings. Suffice to say, your imagination and style are peerless. As to...

I was hoping someone would find that at least a little funny. It was late when I wrote that, so I was light-headed from lack of sleep, and I just kept chuckling to myself. Figured we needed a little comic relief in this story hour. We're about to embark onto a couple darker posts, and most of...

I think it's www.egarygygax.com now. If you get routed to pr0n or something, though, don't blame me. EDIT: Just checked. The above link is correct. D

This is alluded to within Olgar's (handy) 3.5 errata thread. Nonetheless: 3.5 DMG, p. 222: "Each +1 of enhancement bonus also adds 1 to the weapon's or shield's hardness and hit points." 3.5 PHB, p. 165: "Each +1 of enchancement bonus adds 2 to the hardness or armor, a weapon, or a shield...

So, to make sure I have this correct: In the second diagram on p. 151, the gnoll does not provide cover to Regdar and/or the orc. Right? If, however, Redgar and/or the orc were using a melee reach weapon and/or a ranged weapon, then the gnoll would provide cover to each of them. Correct? D
