    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    I've posted a map and battle summary thread at trosforums.com (the forums where the game is taking place). You can find it at: http://www.trosforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=381 Because the Story Hour isn't updated as fast as the game posts, the map won't reflect the story hour latest...

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    The great Oruk grunted, then spoke to his Orc warriors in the fluid language of their kind, full of whistles and nasal grunts that were impossible to reproduce accurately without the tusks and nasal construction unique to their black kind. "Second Tusk! Where are we now? If you have led us...

    Sword and Sorcery has been done to death.

    I'm a fan of systems like The Riddle of Steel, which iis one of several modern systems to offer (in my opinion) a Sword & Sorcery feel superior to what I can get out of D&D. I mean S&S in terms of Conan, the Grey Mouser, Elric, etc. These have a dramatically different feel than Tolkein or...

    Sword and Sorcery has been done to death.

    Cool. But I think it sounds like the problem is mostly with the decision you allowed yourself to make. That being, to let other people tell you what kind of game to run when you had your heart set on something else.

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    There was a commotion ahead, towards the periphery of the tent clearing, and the Men there made way with much haste for an Erunsil who wore the livery of the Witch Queen. This of itself was not surprising, for several of her House were likely to be found any time you found more than a dozen...

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    Thrayn and his Human companions were at the Erunsil village for several days and nights. He had spent his time haggling with each of the merchants, and visiting the craftsmen to barter for their goods and supplies. By the fourth day in Ver'huin, nothing from the raid had gone untraded and the...

    [Midnight]: Help for novice DM

    Well first of all, since all divine magic comes from Izrador directly, a renegade Legate would very quickly end up without access to his magic. Unless the DM decides otherwise, of course, but that's how it works as presented. There's been a few conversations on the topic at AgainstTheShadow...

    Condolences to the victims of the Indonesia quake

    I'm horrified, even now a day later. And now, emergency workers reached some areas in Sumatra where they found many, many more victims. The tsunami has now claimed more than 44,000 lives, displaced over a million families, and destroyed the livelihood of many more. If any of us can donate...

    The WFRP setting is ideal for Riddle of Steel. I imagine other dramatic storytelling systems would also work well.

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    Ver'huin was a small Elvish settlement, of the usual type for the Erunsil - built within the trees rather than atop them as was the custom of their neighbors to the south. Typical of such settlements, it had the dueling tree, which was commonly used by the community elders to teach the...
