Wal-Mart Shipped 3.5 Today For what it's worth, I was just told on the phone that Wal-Mart has shipped my pre-order of all three 3.5 books. I can't check this information against their website, because only this morning I had cancelled my Wal-Mart order thinking that I could get them earlier...

My friend lives in Malvern. I'm only five hours away from Malvern. I want to be in Malvern tonight too! Bah! Have fun rolling them bones, Dru, Zad, and Co.! Cheers, Destan P.S. I, in turn, will be laying piles of mulch down behind my house. :0

Monte said: "Taking levels of a prestige class now apparently forces you to pay multiclassing XP costs. Whether intentionally or by accident, the prestige class chapter no longer states that they are free of this cost." And SKR replied: It's an accident. I discovered this lack of appropriate...

I think those are my favorite paragraphs so far. Unless your DM is a miserly bastard, he should have given Kazir bonus XP's for his idea and Tryn bonus XP's for recounting it - so eloquently - here. :) D

Got a cup o' Joe this morning and plopped down to avoid work and start readin' your stuff again, pogie. I must say the chainmail painting on Xerk is top notch, and I love Nanjuk's features. One of these days I'd like to commission you (read: pester you) to paint a figure or two for me. I'm...

Well, despite my best efforts, I'm gonna have to pull aside the DM screen and reveal an encounter that ended up on the cutting room floor. After the party defeated the mercenaries masquerading as Gondian priests, they had actually managed to bind two of their enemies' wounds. They promptly...

You betcha. Our old house system had spells such as Minor Parasite, Phantasmal Disease, Mephindion's Sparks, Lanar's Lower Resistance, etc. These mean nothing to the 3E crowd (and with my failing memory, they don't mean much to me, either). We also had different schools of magic - Ascendancy...

A Prophecy Born In Death Raylin gingerly reached out and pushed aside a tuft of yellowed scrub grass. He kept his eyes focused on the tableau below as John cursed beside him. “By Selûne’s saucy smile, there’s a damned army down there.” Raylin removed his hand just as cautiously and watched...

I wouldn't disagree with you. I do, however, think that much of the 'wickedness' comes from the fact that Vath is a pretty dour half-troll, and the world itself is bleak. I'm sure somewhere there's a couple devout followers of the Suffering God that are a bit more genial, but we haven't run...

Sacrificial Goats Raylin tossed the second shard of Bishop Margate’s staff onto the tent floor next to Aramin. “There you are, Rornman.” “Indeed, indeed.” Aramin’s eyebrows entwined above his nose like mating sand grubs. “Boy,” he called to his manservant, “fetch the chest beneath the red...

I recently started writing a story hour after being a long-time lurker. I have few points I'd like to make. First, I have read many, many story hour posts without once commenting on them. That may be because I'm lazy, or because I'm generally quiet when it comes to posting. If I do post, I...

Re: Thoughts on the Story Hour You don't know how right you are! Or, perhaps you do. :D It has been a while since we've been able to sit around the gaming table for this campaign, but I know that I - personally - am very indebted to the fact that you take the time to include all the details...

Keeping the motivation is fairly simple - this is a hardcore, addicted group of gamers we've got here. But finding dates that work for everyone is difficult, certainly. Jobs, families, etc. - these things take time and precedence. We usually plan weekends far in advance. This year, for...

A Rite Gone Wrong Baden shrugged off the demon’s telepathic urgings as easily as one might doff his coat. The enchantments had little effect on him, though he could hear Baphtemet’s whispered promises clearly enough. He was the last to make the journey down the hallway; the rest of his...

Thanks Senor Pogre! I suppose it's your turn to ask 'em instead of me just pestering you on your own story hour. If I recall, I just spoke aloud as Baphtemet - the whole group could hear me - but most of my comments were aimed at Kellus. He was the one who really aroused the demon's fury, as...

Whisperings of Faith Kellus could easily discern the protective abjuration aura pulsing along the length of the metallic bars, though he did not remember casting any detection spells. Odd. He leaned forward, through the mist, to improve his view. A strange script spiraled along each of the...

A Feast of Elves Amelyssan stared at the cavern wall, thin lips pressed tightly together. John strolled forward, rapier in hand, and studied the featureless wall for but a moment before addressing the elf. “You have the look of one who’s found a beetle in his broth.” Amelyssan scowled. “A...

Nice updates, pog! I can see that you're enjoying your summer. I'd like to gravitate to using terrain and mini's as often as your group does. It looks so damned cool in your pics. With that in mind, please let me bother you with two more rookie questions, pogre. First, do you have the group...

What about the Lyonesse series? Just grabbed a use copy of Tales of the Dying Earth. Thanks fellas. D

After reading so many posts about D&D's 'Vanician' spell system, and seeing numerous story hours with a 'Vanican' appeal, I think it's about time to actually read something the guy as written. Problem is, I don't know where to start. Could someone point me in the right direction? I prefer...
