Just what the title says. I have a player whose absolute favorite PC is a factotum- a crafting savant with machinery and obsessive physical paragon who has studied magic after a bad run in with sorcerer mercenaries. Switching over to 4E will hinge a lot on perhaps translating him. Granted, we...

Just recently our party was fighting for their lives against a horde of zombie pirates raiding our ship. The other wizard was clever enough to set up nets on both sides of the ship, buying us some time as the pirates hacked away at the netting trying to get in past the fighter's arrows. My...

"Are we really healthy enough to keep going further?"

The party regularly splitting up often makes it difficult sometimes to orchaestrate where all the PC's are. Especially when some take much longer than others, both in-game and out of game. The scene of the crime crew had been taking 20 on their searches, so that's why Baeril was able to pop on...

Elissa Gladesmere, Cipke Arnag, Deevolly Bencez The other three head toward Frickard's shop in the South Market. Already the difference between the Guildsman and South Market districts is apparent. For one thing, the burnt, industrial smell is gone. The dirty and grimy streets with belching...

Just noticed the new Ceramic DM has started. Good luck guys. I look forward to reading these latest installments.

heh. Baeril. Baeril's player immediately suspected the wagon merchant since he was so eager to run away. Which makes some sense. Classic mystery convention is that if you see the gun in the first chapter it'll be used in the latter ones. Thing is, the cart had nothing to do with Frickard's...

Baeril Underhill The newly deputized members of the Tenth make their way through the Guildsman District, cutting up toward the main road of Iron Street, which serves as a dividing line between many of the different districts. The four pass by a group of dirty workers carrying tools as they...

"See me? Standing here uncooked?" "Yeah, I thought so." Ada sighs and advances slowly to peer into the dark. "What do we have?"

Felix Dallimothan Nacthmann exits the Tower and surveys the clean up of the riot for a moment before continuing the walk. He cuts up toward the Arram section of Midtown with their long, stable-like houses where he hails a carriage oddly enough driven by surly looking half-orc smoking a pipe...

Still holding the badge in his hand like he's not quite sure what to do with it, Felix moves to where he can talk to Captain Herdling. "Um, sir? Where would I be able to go to view the body? Are you the person I should ask?" "heh," Captin Herdling chuckles. "Nope. Hey Edgar!" The Temple...

Kinkade is utterly enchanted by the idea of the 10th Precinct and then even further fascinated by the mystery. It's everything he can do not to laugh with happiness. "Where's the ball now?" "Damn good question," Wibert says. "It wasn't at his place when we found him. Neither were any plans for...

So the plot is lifted entirely from Dungeon magazine #29, Willie Walsh's own "Mightier Than the Sword". I loved Willie's adventures and when I started flipping through old issues for inspiration for a crime campaign, this one jumped out at me. Rather than having it be set in a sleepy hamlet, we...

"Captain Denton, I would like you to leave for the moment." "WHAT?" Denton hisses. Jurgen holds up his hands. "I shall discuss this with BOTH of you. LATER. But right now, I would like Wibert to brief our men without fear of being assualted." The two captains stare at each other before Denton...

Readers who have the Big Book and read every inch can probably guess what the source (well, one of them anyway) of the tension between Wibert and Denton is. I was quite surprised that the Big Book had very little detail on the Watch Captains. Only three had names even, so that really gave me...

Baeril raises his hand, and waits for Jurgen to point to him in exasperation. "There's been a bit of a mistake. I was simply reporting the wagon burglary, I'm not a watchman myself. And I don't know that a task force is necessary, although I'm sure that poor man will appreciate all the effort...

"Oh good," Ada says weakly. "Let's prod another possible trap. I'll just lie here behind the door guys."

As the group follow the captain inside, the watchmen find the layout very familiar. A basic, military-style tower with benches and racks of weapons line the walls. A desk with a harried desk sergeant looks across at them as they pass by cells that are packed full. Usually, they would be full of...

Wibert is so obviously my excuse to have a snarling angry Police Captain that has all the best lines.

"You had a bit of a riot going on, sir," reports Benson, his tone clearly conveying that he's less than impressed with the Watchmen of the Guildsman District. "We've got your instigator here." He shoves Olaf forward a step. Meanwhile, Baeril slips back into the shop to see a large woman peeking...
