Introduction It's the 13th day of Aryth, one week before you're due to set off on your expedition to the Frostfell, and about a month and half from your expected arrival in that icy land. You're relaxing in Stormhome's infamous Olladra's Last Rest, a comfortable bayside inn rumored to be site...

Character Notes Wow--you guys sure did get your characters finished and posted quickly. Thank you, all of you! It looks like we'll be able to get this game started rather soon. I thought I'd take this opportunity to give everyone a little feedback. In alphabetical order by name of...

Well, somebody's got to stay on the boat--there's a lot of shipjackers out there just waitin' for the chance to take your ride (and The Whale's Carcass--the ship you'll be sailing in--is one pimped-out boat). :) Very well then, the last spot is yours, good sir. And that seems like a solid...

I believe I may be able to help clarify how the Artificer's item creation works. Whenever they create an item that is based on spells or abilities not on their infusion list, they rely on their Use Magic Device skill. But the skill doesn't actually give them access to those powers, it just...

There's no deadline for alternate characters, I'd say. You could drop me a character now, or wait 'til later--either is fine. If you wanted to make a character now, they would probably be part of the crew left behind on the ship when then main expeditionary force disembarks (and thus I could...

Hey, no problem! Let me know if you have any questions, or if I can be of help in any way. I think we're in no hurry at this stage--I certainly want people to take as long as they need to put together a character that they'll be excited about playing.

Domain wizards are okay by me, and your idea is an excellent one. As a matter of fact, the group will be sailing out of Stormhome, which is the main headquarters of House Lyrandar. That probably won't have a major impact on the adventure, but it's something you might be able to work into your...

I have added johnsemlak, Lady Shatterstone, and adamantineangel as alternates (in the order of their requests), which leaves one alternate slot open. Hello, and thank you all for your interest. And since I'm planning on being generous with the pre-game experience awards, that 500 xp wouldn't...

I can say for certain that this is going to lead to a lot of interesting roleplaying. The character I really expect to take center stage is, of course, Trundle. I think he..err, it...has serious star power. In fact, can we change the game's title to "The Adventures of Trundle and Friends"...

Excellent, Sorrow. You are most certainly accepted, and I'm sure that, given the fact that I've already let slip this will be a trap-heavy dungeon, the group will be most pleased to have your rogue along. And as to the Ranger combat styles: is that from the most current issue? I haven't read...

Well, than make sure to take Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Hat (note that I will not be allowing Mithral Top Hats--they're just broken). :) That sounds fine. (I really like Psychic Warrior, by the way--it's a neat class). As far as filling a certain niche, the group should be large enough to...

Okay, you're in. Either druid or psion would be excellent. A druid, in particular, would be useful in helping the party deal with the enviormental challenges. And as for stats, we'll be using a 32-point buy (rather absent minded of me not to put that in at first--I have edited the character...

Beneath the Ice As if the storms that he sailed through at the mouth of the bay hadn’t been bad enough, now the dwarf’s raft was beginning to melt. The air had been growing steadily warmer as the tiny craft was drawn deeper into the bay—now, the heat was beginning to take its toll. Thugrun...

How about this as a trait: Dark Knowledge - You have exceptional insight into an aspect of lore that few others dare study, but the terrible things you know drive you closer to the edge of madness. You gain a +1 bonus on all knowledge (undead) skill checks, but suffer a 5% penalty on all...

First of all, let me apologze for posting so much stuff--it's just that I haven't been able to do any gaming for quite some time now, and I'm a little overexcited. Please let me know if I'm getting annoying. Anyway, I wanted to put up this little description of Velious' mask:

I think Aalin seems like a very interesting character who brings some variety to the group. I also had an idea about a tentative connection between Aalin and Velious. See what you think of this: Some years ago, while he was still an active adventurer, Aalin's future mentor Maril briefly...

Pratchett is, of course, an excellent writer--probably one of the greatest of our times. He has a very elegant grasp of the language and is able to use it evoke emotion in a consistant way. I only wish that his books were as popular here in America as they are in the UK, where they're...

Eluvan, I came up with an idea for how our characters might have previously met. Tell me what you think; if you like it, we'll use it (pending GM approval, of course), if not, we'll scrap it. If you like it, let me know. You can make any changes you might like--it's just a rough idea at the...

No, it's just something I added in for flavor. The idea was that he would only be able to use the spell on himself or his livewood items. I should probably modify that requirement to note that it works only on willing living objects, so you know the character can't go around casting light on...

As I understand it, the UA sanity rules and the Call of Cthulhu rules are very similar. Your starting sanity is equal to 5 times your Wisdom (so your character would have 50 sanity points). This is also your maximun Sanity--you can't have your Sanity raised above this number at any point...
