Behind the DM Screen First, my apologies for the shortness of the most recent update. I intended to have that post be the last snippet of the previous update, but it was late and I was outta gas. This concludes the group's First Session. If I recall correctly, we had started playing on a...

The Slaughter of Olgotha Once the party reached the ridgeline, the end was all but written. The dark dwarves were limited in their speed and mobility, much less deadly with crossbows than with axes. Theirs was a race bred for fighting in the black confines of Deepearth, not the sprawling...

Well, Cin is biased since I have the life of his own character in my hands in another campaign. Plus, I regularly pay readers to post comments like that. But, actually, we've both read Sep's SH. Last session we spent the final twenty minutes discussing it. That SH has defined the "high...

Harsh Times and Harsh Measures Amelyssan dragged Kellus to his feet as the world exploded into confusion. The unnatural tempest, first born when Aramin slew himself, continued to grow in intensity. A halo of diseased-hued mist circled the crown of Olgotha, the smell of brothel beds sweet and...

Good stuff, pogie. I get a cruel sense of DM glee whenever characters fail checks like Balance, Climb, etc. Those skills aren't often stressed enough, I think, and lose out to skills like Spot & Listen. You're using your days off well! Questions (of course): Do you have to purchase/paint...

Hahahaha! Good stuff. I've blown it on this story hour because I've read the last dozen or so posts prior to starting from the beginning. Now I can go back and blissfully waste more time at work. Curious - did you cats decide as a group to go Epic, or did Dru make that decision, or was it...

The Battle of Olgotha Baden opted against drawing his axe until he closed the mound, hoping such a decision might improve his speed somewhat. He eyed the earthen bank in front of him with no little sense of trepidation. It was four feet in height – as tall as he was. With a grunt, the...

pg 274. Thank you.

Help?

One of my players asked this identical question. Short answer: It is dispelled. For good. I think. Relevant snippets from the Permanency description: "This application of the permanency can be dispelled only by a caster of higher level than you were when you cast the spell." Then later...

Sure thing. Scrying Saving Throw: Negates You can see and hear some creature which may be at any distance. If the subject succeeds on a Will save, the scrying attempt simply fails. The difficulty of the save depends on how well you know the subject and what sort of physical connection (if...

Not that I can tell.

I feel like I'm missing something or misinterpreting the spell description of the 3.5 version of Scrying. Let me try to explain my confusion. First sentence, "You can see and hear some creature which may be at any distance. If the subject succeeds on a Will save, the scrying attempt simply...

Thanks, fellas - was in a weird mood last night! If you haven't hopped to that I like D&D thread, I'd recommend it. Even ol' Monte himself threw in his two coppers. Off to the mall, Little D

Hi pogie! Instead of pining away like some lovesick kid, that's probably what I should have been doing. Alas, it's too late now...maybe early this coming week! D

I would be remiss not to say that my letter was inspired by WizarDru's "I like D&D" post, which may be found here: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56389 Cheers, D

Hi sweetie, This summer marks our 20th Anniversary. Who would have thought we'd be together this long, through so many changes? I’m pretty sure you realize how much you mean to me, but - dammit - I don't say it enough. Especially recently, during all the changes we’re going through. I...

This, quite simply, had me laughing for about the past five minutes straight. I encourage you to read this thread from the start so you see the above quote in context. Is it late? Yes. Should I be concentrating on freeing the trapped cat from the heating duct? Probably. None of that...
