Deevolly Bencez and Cipke Arnag- Midtown Deevolly approaches the inebriated elf and smiles winningly. "Wow! Whatcha got there?" The elf grins at Deevoly, which causes a few scowls by the girls behind him. "ISh... It's a rod. It DOES things!" The elf stamps the rod into the ground once. The...

As you will see, the Tenth is a motley crew in places. Seven total, four watchmen (for now) and a few odd hangers on. All of the players got the Player's Guide to Ptolus and created characters based on that. Felix's player is the cleric. Lawful Good Bahamut and all that. House Dallimothan is...

Felix Dallimothan- The Noble's Quarter "Ah... that's most generous, My Lord, "Felix says, bowing. Though taller than Kristol, he is unused to such personal attention from the head of his house, and so he is very much cowed by the man. The situation is especially surreal to the young man because...

This here is the first installment of our PbP game set in Ptolus, that's been going pretty steadily since 2007. I was inspired by a post here long ago on ENWorld about a police procedural campaign and loved the idea so much I decided to put it into action. For those familiar with the Ptolus...

Chapter 1 Mightier Than the Sword It's the 2nd of Rain in 721. They say every month is the month of Rain in Ptolus, and today was no exception. A light drizzle keeps the streets wet and the familiar smell of damp clothes mingles with the daily aromas of each district. It hasn't been terribly...

Ada looks around. "Well. Tempting." she says, cocking her head toward the amulet. "You realize it has to be too good to be true."

Ada wrinkles her nose. "And people wonder why I question a Delver's sanity."

"Let's try not to die people," Ada says as she steps onto the platform.

Basically to keep track of the PC's loot and to get an idea of how much I should give themor not per adventure. I've been pretty stingy due to their circumstances and they're rather behind on the DMG PC wealth chart.

They are basically low-range thoughtstones. I didn't want the group to have the ear or access to the high-end powers of Ptolus, as thoughtstones are basically AOL IM for DnD. The message badges are, in fact, based and created on the same magic technology. One of the players has made a...

I'm running a PbP City Watch game in Ptolus. As a result of the format, and the fact that most of the PC's are actually somewhat honest- loot often goes unclaimed or left. So I'm trying to make up for it. The PC's are currently 3rd level. I recently awarded them a message badge, inspired by the...

Ada smiles and follows the others as quietly as her considerable frame can manage.

Ada sighs. "Let's do it then."

HT's got it right. There's always a "dark" fiction counterculture. The current crop of "goths" may not even identify themselves as such. It's just permeated the culture enough. Most former "goths" I know prefer the term "Cyber". And Steampunk is actually becoming a viable subculture... Kind of...

*Puts on High Fidelity Hat* The precursors of "Goth" was the New Wave bands. Like Skade said, Cure, Joy Division, etc. New Wave was Punk and Disco having a baby. Personally, I think Goth is a pretty nebulous label used to latch onto too many things. I'd say Marilyn Manson has more in common...

I'm fine keeping it in thread. If it would be easier to separate it, go for it.

Ada sits back. "Well... we have an interesting challenge in front of us don't we? Take a chance on gold not there or unearth ancient evils." "I hate Delvers. I hate the thought of being one." "Having said that, we could easily take a look and sell the site to some sages for anthropological...

Oh WONDEFUL. Whiz is already planning on running some of us through the blender of Empire of the Ghouls... Last thing he needs is more inspiration on how to murder us. I have some ideas on this thread... Love making up cultures for the monster-types.

And having got an inside peek at the Kem family, I can only say it's a miracle Renraw turned out as well as he did.

Heath Ledger?
