Letter #38 15 Harvest Zeif Dearest brother; I'm writing you from our camp outside the minotaur's maze. We've made our first foray into the maze and escaped relatively unscathed. We arrived to find the entry to the maze just as described. To get around the rugged terrain most of us flew up...

I've had good results with Pine-Sol myself. I find you have to leave the mini in for a minimum of 24 hours and give it a good thorough scrubbing with an old toothbrush afterward. A number of people I know who paint minis professionally or semi-professionally swear by Simple Green cleanser. I...

I didn't start roleplaying until 1995, and didn't begin my introduction with D&D. We started playing AD&D in about 1998. When 3E was released we started using that right away for new campaigns, although we didn't convert our AD&D campaign to 3E until 3.5 had been out for a while.

Letter #36 6 Harvest Zeir-i-Zeif Dearest brother; I won't be able to write to you again for perhaps a month. Tomorrow we set out for the maze of the minotaur. We had some excitement a few nights ago. It seems that someone wants to be rid of us. We suspect it's a person called Kaligos who's...

Letter #35 3 Harvest Zeir-i-Zeif Dearest brother; We've found a new quest. It seems we've decided to help Varian in his search for the lost city. We draw trouble the way flowers draw bees. While Ninad and I were shopping for supplies, our companions were attacked by some ruffians. And...

The problem is not the excess of choices. The problem is a difference in play style. Obergnom likes to spend a lot of time designing characters, the other players don't. The other players' character are not "worse" than yours, Obergnom. They're just different. Give them some helpful...

I played D&D. I play D&D every Sunday, and if GM wanted to cancel or reschedule the game for a football game he'd get the rough side of my tongue!

Letter #34 1 Harvester Zier-i-Zief Dearest brother; Well, we've finally done it. I never thought we'd make it before some of my companions ended their too-brief lives, but we've finally reached the ocean! We didn't get here without trouble, of course. We left Lopolla with plenty of rewards...

We still pick on the GM to this day about this one that occurred about 6 or 7 years ago. He was determined not to use class names in describing NPCs. Our newly-formed adventuring group was fighting a bunch of NPCs, one of whom had a quarterstaff. The GM kept referring to this NPC as "the guy...

This thread has given me inspiration. I was trying to come up with a rogue-ish or bard-ish character for an Eberron game and wondering just why this character would join an adventuring party. Now I know: to chronicle their exploits! I can make her Perform skill Oratory, her Profession Author...

The party's been hunting down a guy who stole an artifact sword. One of the PCs goes to pick up the sword. The GM goes into a lot of detail describing how the PC can't let go of the sword after he fails his Will save. Player: "Going to the bathroom's going to be a butch, then." Other players...

Caelen's letter continues... The Aereni wizard seemed to be watching the earth creature intently, so I took up a position where I could strike him if he threatened any of my companions. I could hear Dalia chanting some arcane words behind me. Kylara ran down to aid her summoned zombie when the...

The Collected Journals of Artemis Heuw Cannith, excerpt 16 Yes, I know the numbering is off, but that's what # Devo gave it. He hasn't been able to post this yet and I want to post Caelen's latest entry in chronological order, so I'm putting this up on Devo's behalf. sniffles "...commonly...

Letter #33 14 Goodmonth, 601 CY Sefmir Dear brother; We thought we'd spend a few quiet days in Sefmir waiting for our enchanted equipment to be completed, then continue our journey to the ocean. But the 'quiet' part of that assumption wasn't to be. I suppose we should have known better...

From Milvarune to Candlekeep - Again The Fey Wind is the fastest ship on the Sea of Fallen Stars. As a result she's small and rather cramped by comparison to Master Whitetree's vessel. Latan and her tressyms immediately made themselves at home in the crow's nest - although I doubt the tressyms...

Letter #32 Sefmir 12 Goodmonth Dear brother; After our adventures in the city we returned to the sheikh's palace with Naveen and Ravana. Erasyne invented a tale of Naveen being a princess from the nomad tribes of the Plains of the Paynims to explain her presence. We were surprised to learn...

Letter #31 Sefmir, 998 CY Dear brother; It seems that the childrens' tale of the Tiger Prince that we were researching is true for the most part, if not in all its particulars. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that some details were forgotten or confused over time; after all the events the...

Just last week our characters achieved 14th level in a campaign that has been running for 4 years and began at 1st level. That's the highest level I personally have ever reached in any campaign that fit your poll criteria.

Whaddaya mean, in the early Dragon magazines?! It was still in Dragon up until a year or so ago. :p Thanks for the link, though. I need to look at Phil's site more often.
