    How do you pronounce "Drow"?

    'Drow' has always rhymed with 'cow' as far as I and all of my gaming buddies are concerned. I have never once heard it rhyme with 'go' (or 'bow' for that matter). That pronunciation seems weird and scary to me.

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Felikeries, adding all that information would be a lot of work, and I don't know how many others besides you would be interested in it. But if enough people want all that information alongside or separate from the narrative, let me know. In other news, I've added a poll to the thread. Now that...

    Artificial Limbs?

    One of my player's characters lost an arm while being tortured by a horned devil. He got it replaced with an arm of Nyr, a magic item from Defenders of the Faith that works like a prosthetic. However, this was 3.0 and the arm was vastly overpowered, IMO. But it's something to look into: I...

    Alright! Over 1,000 page views! And in celebration, here's another update! Chapter 16 The adventurers teleported back to the Dungeon of the Ruins, to the hall outside the High Conflagration’s former lair. Pausing a moment to get his bearings, Grundar activated his ring of blinking and moved...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

    Great update, as usual! Those assassins were nasty: luckily Rusty was around to save the day. Heh, I can't wait to see how that turns out. My players had enough problems with the bone devil, and I can only imagine how hard it was with an ice devil in its stead. :)

    Your Favorite Villains

    Teil, the eloquent half-fiend bard/assassin with a strange fetish for vermin. He started off as a human rival for the affections of Cid's, the fighter PC's, girlfriend, but the PC drove him out of town by bringing to light his devil-worshipping practices. Later he came back with a horde of...

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    A little short this time, but I'm determined not to let the story hour slip to page 2. Enjoy! Chapter 15 The heavy mace came down in a crushing blow, shattering bone and flesh alike and sending teeth flying into the pool of water. In a flash of light, the summoned bearded devil was sent back...

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Woo! I've finally caught up! I had stumbled upon the story hour a few months ago, but I decided to wait until summer came along when I could read the whole thing. Finally, several weeks after starting from Chapter 1, I've finally reached the latest post. This is a great story hour, Lazybones...

    Eberk, the not so new character

    Poor ol' Eberk. He never got as much love as his other fellow iconics. They even made a Kerwyn mini before him! Now I just have to wait for them to make a Gimble mini and the triad of lesser known iconics will be complete. :)

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Well, this is what happens when you have problems falling asleep several nights in a row. I had to do something to keep me busy. At least you guys get an update out of it. :\ Chapter 14 Degradzel never stood a chance. Grundar tumbled across the workbench an amazing acrobatic display that...

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Thanks for your compliments, A'vandira! It always helps to play to a fledgling writer's fragile ego. :) I haven't had much time to work on the next chapter, but it is almost complete and will hopefully be up in the next few days. As a reward for your comment, though, you get a little preview...

    guys and girls

    The characters I play tend to be a good mix between genders. For tabletop games, I seem to play mainly male characters because they are usually lighter on roleplaying and easier when face-to-face with the other players. On PbP games, though, I'd say about 70% of my characters are females...

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Thanks for your comments, skullsmurfer! Unfortunately, Gillian is gone for the moment: her player had some real-life problems that got in the way of her ability to play, and unfortunately, she had to leave the game. However, the character is still around and may make a few cameo appearances...

    Moments you live for in D&D gaming

    Having a player so attached to his character that he insists on raising him each of the seventeen times he dies, despite the cost to the party. When the players thank you for running a fun and exciting game and come to each session eager to see what awaits them next. When you run an NPC so...

    DM Brainiac's Prison of the Firebringer (Updated 12/21/05)

    Chapter 13 After the ice devil fled, Allanon floated slowly down to the rooftop, dismissing her spell of flying. As her legs again took on her weight they started to buckle and she swayed precariously. Her arms and legs were numb with the deadly cold and she could barely control them. She would...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

    The naga had cast displacement before combat, but all of the party members beat its initiative and spread out so it could only catch one of them in its Evard's black tentacles. The wizard dispelled most of its protective spells on the first round, eliminating its miss chance. It got its...
