    [Hivemind] Lord of the Boards: The Return of the Hive

    *meanders into thread* Have just updated my story hour again! Finally, I can actually see the message board I run the game on once more, allowing me to try and catch up with the write-ups :) *meanders off to carry on writing Biothaumaturgist's Handbook*

    Carnifex's Story Hour (Updated January 20th, "The Union")

    Yes, we're updating once again! While Cazamir and his band of squabbling sages have arrived at a monastery deep in the mountains, preparing to move on after a rest there to the site of an ancient tower that they wish to study, Wolf's Company are in dire straits. More precisely, Wolf himself is...

    Carnifex's Story Hour (Updated January 20th, "The Union")

    Cheers mate :) Unfortunately I actually can't update at the moment, as I can't even see my message board from these damned library computers. I will be able to update again when the webmaster upgrades my board format to a newer version that these computers can read, and which will happen after...

    Steam and Steel - A Guide to Fantasy Steamworks - extra teaser posted 4/27/04

    That'd be a product currently titled 'Flesh, Blood & Magic: The Biothaumaturgist's Handbook' :) And as for my dissertation...ergh, it's quite easy to write 15k of words for a d20 product, but far, far harder for a history dissertation :p Other possible "bits & pieces": crystal/solar power (just...

    Steam and Steel - A Guide to Fantasy Steamworks - extra teaser posted 4/27/04

    It's a very good idea, but I am very busy ATM with working on another d20 product and a university course dissertation to research and write :p However, a web supplement might work, since there were some other vague ideas I had for things I might have liked to have slipped inot St&St, like a...

    Worst 3.5 publishers?

    Yeah, I'm quite happily able to pluck bits out of 3.5 that I want to use with my current Warhammer d20 game as easily as I can take bits out of any other d20 product. Spells, some class mods, some feats - I wanted the 3.5 ranger, and could use it with no real problems. The party consists of...

    When your players come up with those wonderful quotes...

    Every so often in the games I run, a player comes up with a particularly memorable quote or phrase, and I'm sure it happens to others too. One game I run is an online message board one, and so sometimes the players write real gems in their posts. The latest one, as the party are really getting...

    Steam and Steel - A Guide to Fantasy Steamworks - extra teaser posted 4/27/04

    I think the Coming Attractions page is pretty out of date now - and as for the December release date, I based that off what Dextra and HH had said in posts before, but it's seeming increasingly unlikely as January creeps closer :( As for spoilers, what kind of stuff do you want to know? :)

    Three releases over the holiday season!

    So, HH, is Steam & Steel still going to be a December release then, or should I change my sig again? ;) (I've finally got net access again, through the local library!)

    Carnifex's Story Hour (Updated January 20th, "The Union")

    Well, I now do have some internet access, via the local library. Unfortunately, I can't properly access the game board at the moment, thus can't write more story hour as yet :( It's probably the set-up of the library computers preventing me from seeing the board, but it might be more serious...

    Carnifex's Story Hour (Updated January 20th, "The Union")

    Well, I'm afraid I've just been waaaaay to busy over the past few days to put up another update, which is a shame since the one I was planning to do is pretty important :p The problem is that from tomorrow morning I head off to stay with my mother over the Xmas holidays, and the chances are...

    Best Books of 2003

    I found AU useful to steal some things from, like the Unfettered, but not in and of itself an inspiring product. Draconomicon is very nice, though I doubt I'll use much of the stuff in it. But it's so pretty! :D Magical Medieval Society... well, I had much too high expectations of it, so all I...

    Lets Talk Midnight! [ Jerod Please Stay Out ]

    As someone currently playing a channeller in a Midnight campaign, here are my answers... Thus far, yes - though it's quite a shock running a channeller after seeing normal D&D spellcasters in action. Despite my above comment, I'd say yes, definitely. My channeller has access to healing...

    What do you play?

    I heartily recommend the excellent Warmachine miniatures game by Privateer Press! Every time I play it I find it more enjoyable. Very good because with the basic battleset boxed set for a faction, you get a fully playable selection of miniatures that is enough to play against any other battleset...

    Eberron and Action Points - Opinions?

    I'm rather fond of AU's hero points too. Last session in my Warhammer d20 game, the mage threw himself in a last ditch effort at the skaven warlock engineer clunking around in heavy, powered, gadget-laden armour who had just taken out the party meat-shield, and poured acid into the warpstone...

    Successful Story Hours - a simple analysis (raised from the thread)

    Interesting. My SH gets a relatively low rating on this 'cos its been around for quite a long time now - but a coupla times it's gone onto hiatus when I've just been too distracted by RL stuff or too busy with work. This probably hasn't helped me with retaining readers in the past, though I hope...

    Why Planescape?

    Wow! That's some good lurking experience you've got there :D

    outside pseudomedieval what can be done well yet?

    :D Pester Hellhound and Dextra if you want it to come any sooner; though if you haven't seen it already, the link in my sig takes you to a thread with some previews of art from the book in it.
