    Tavern - City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn '08

    "I gather you're not likely to return to the area any time soon? A shame, because I'd love to invite you to my amphitheatre. Through a rather unexpected series of events I've become a Knight of the Realm. You know the old deserted amphitheatre outside town? It's no longer deserted. I own it, and...

    I just popped into S3 to rectify that, and I see Trouvere has already taken care of E2. Speaking of which, I notice that The Lion's 2nd Face is judgeless. I know several of the judges have characters, but could somebody other than me take it on? My new job leaves me little time for LEW stuff (I...

    S3: The Scythe of Seto (Bront Judging)[Completed]

    Did I see you post that you were still waiting for DM credits for this? I hereby award 13 DM credits to Manzanita. There, that was easy.

    Sir Nurlan Sir Nurlan, who has been uncharacteristically quiet as of late (OOC: on account of his player's real-life occupation) looks up as Persephone enters. A little surprised to hear her introduce herself by her full name, he walks up to the bar, bows and addresses her. "My lady, it must...

    OOTS 627 is up

    "It is more the principle of the thing." Yep, sounds lawful to me. Vaarsuvius has a fairly rigorous notion of the appropriate use of arcane power, with an intricate pricing scheme as well as a standard for who, in the context of an established business relationship, is already entitled to call...

    I think so. If someone's interested in taking it on, I could forward the adventure proposal. Meanwhile, I note that Ends Meat has been in suspension since December 2. Boddynock, you're listed as the judge. Are you still following that? And are any of the players still around? If so, it may need...

    Our world through the eyes of a D&D inhabitant

    You're looking in the wrong place. They aren't listed in the Monster Manual; they're in the Equipment list, under "Lawn Ornaments". But really, you don't want to play one. In this game, they don't really do anything. They don't even have any spell-like abilities. Why the game designers even...

    Playing characters of the opposite gender

    I note that most posters in this thread, including the OP, are referring to gender (cultural categories) rather than sex (biological categories). So let's go with that. What gender categories mean -- what attributes or social roles are considered masculine or feminine -- depend on the culture...

    OotS #619 up ...

    Evidently usage varies. When 1337 was first explained to me, I was told that serious users of the lingo would not countenance any roman letters -- just numerals, punctuation marks and other symbols such as |. So, my understanding was similar to Asmor's. Now I see there is also a broader use of...

    Nurlan doesn't quite suppress a wry smile. "What Sir Eanos neglects to mention is that in that episode uncovering an assassins' guild he saved my life. Once our companion Mordik and I discovered that the guild operated out of the Three Rings mayor's chambers, we hastened to get help, but we were...

    psicrystal feat ruling Two related questions have come up in the process of character approval: (1) The statblock given for a psicrystal (Psicrystal :: d20srd.org) has Alertness as a feat. Can a player substitute a different feat? (2) As psicrystals gain hit dice, do they gain additional feats...

    Nurlan, to Rinaldo in back room The bard nods and replies after a moment's thought. "Whatever comes of it, this is a time of great uncertainty. At any rate, you now the outcome of the mission you entrusted to me. Shall we return to the revelry in the main room?" Assuming Rinaldo has nothing...

    What's Eanos doing listening in? Rinaldo and Nurlan went to a back room for this conversation. I didn't bother with sblocks because I figured that everything we discuss is already well known OOC, but IC, this is a private conversation. Not that Eanos is someone we'd mistrust, just that we didn't...

    "It sounds worrisome. For all we know, the cultists may have already found the shards we couldn't. We tried to find out if there were any rumours or legends of death cult activities in the areas we visited, but heard nothing. That doesn't mean they haven't been there. But you're right, for now...

    Nurlan gives a start at Rinaldo's last revelation, but says no more until he follows the merchant into the back room. Then he begins to speak frankly. "That last comment of yours... that's what I needed to talk to you about, but I don't know if it's good to speak so openly about it. The quest...

    "It's been doing well. I've been able to host a few bardic circles, and found a number of musicians who have been playing semi-regularly. But it's been months since I've been there. As you know I've never been one to spend too long in one place. I recently visited the Lands of Air, and since...

    Sir Nurlan looks across at Ashnar. "My friend, it sounds like you are being called. `The most experienced and skilled'. None who has witnessed your pyromagical achievements could doubt that that describes you. If you do choose to answer the call, I am sure you would do well."
