    Age-old locations / Astrolabes

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I'll end up going with something along the sextant route, since they have a star chart for that point in time (the necromancers in Hollowfaust have kept such records for a long time).

    Age-old locations / Astrolabes

    The characters in my campaign are searching for a specific location in the world, based on an event that happened several years ago. Through one NPC's help, they've been pointed in the general vicinity and they could get access to the specific date and star chart that could have been seen on...

    Disappointing Fantastic Four movie news

    Tim Robbins can do evil well. I mean, he was evil in High Fidelity, right? "Get your patchuli stink outta my store!" :D

    How do I make a Scarred Lands campaign feel like a Scarred Lands campaign?

    Thanks for the plug, Nightfall. For once I will shamelessly draw attention to the Story Hour. In the installment I posted today, our PCs investigate the Last Watchtower, and ... well, you just have to read it. =)

    The Scars Run Deep (Updated - 3/29/2004)

    Big two-parter here. The continuation will be posted in a few days. 17th of Chardot, yr. 150 A.V. Sweat beaded on the brow of an exhausted Surielle. The sun was just beginning to rise, sending fresh warmth across her skin as she knelt on the flagstones atop Kelkarrin's tower. She had worked...

    How do I make a Scarred Lands campaign feel like a Scarred Lands campaign?

    The big trick I like to use is reinforcement of how devastated the lands are after the Divine War. They may not always be easy to find, but some of the area descriptions in books like the Ghelspad Campaign Setting book area very distinctive. Just last night, my players almost lost two of theirs...

    The Scars Run Deep (Updated - 3/29/2004)

    16th of Chardot, yr. 150 A.V. Sleep had not come easily for Gerad. His room was much more comfortable than the barracks he used to share, and the tower, while unfamiliar and mysterious by nature, was as comfortable and pleasantly appointed as the home of any lord. The visions he had seen in...

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    Wow (as always). Just out of sheer curiosity, what does the marrowcrushing descriptor on his warhammer mean? Haven't seen it before, so I was wondering if it was from a sourcebook I'm missing.

    15th of Chardot, yr. 150 A.V., continued The day wore long in Oakdale. Gerad had walked the town twice over, but felt uncomfortable in the midst of its people. The ladies and he were here visiting a man no one but they knew existed. Their purposes and discoveries could be shared with no one...

    14th of Chardot, yr. 150 A.V., continued “So what will you do?” Tréan asked as she and Surielle walked through the woods north of Oakdale. “It really depends upon what Solenus has to tell me. If my mother is dead, then I will know peace and go with you on your quest. If the path I follow...

    [March] What are you playing?

    Everquest has my soul... *cry* Started playing last month, had avoided it for years upon years. Finally succumbed because I needed a gaming fix. The pain... ;)

    The Scars Run Deep (Updated - 3/29/2004)

    Thank you, kind sir. I have a post nearly ready for posting, plus the few after that are in the works. February proved a tough month for me to orient myself with the game and story hour, but all looks good now. Look for something within the next day.

    Gridsmith mapping program- anyone using it?

    I snagged the program yesterday, so I'll take some time to work with it. I have a combat starting on Monday night's game, and I want to try to get the scene laid out, so we'll see what I come up with.

    Planescape Books and Boxed Sets

    To get a great feel for Sigil and the politics within, I suggest two books: The Factol's Manifesto and Uncaged: Faces of Sigil. Two of my all-time favorite RPG books ever, and the ones used most in my 6+ yrs of running PS.

    Gridsmith mapping program- anyone using it?

    Thanks for the link, NeghVar (and directions from others). It accepts 300 X 300 pixel images, which will work fine for me. Like MarauderX, I do lots of work on Photoshop and Illustrator, so I was looking to see how easy it would be to port my existing tiles over to the program. Looks like I'm...
