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

    I haven't had much time lately to post, so I'll give you a small update tonight to satisfy you until I can get the full chapter up. Interlude Helios hurried up the magnificent double revolving staircase, holding up the hem of his black robe so as not to trip on it. Normally he took time to...

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

    Sounds like a great fight. I haven't had a chance to run the adventure yet, but I was pretty sure the enemies would mop the floor with my PCs should they decided to attack. It's good to see that with some good tactics (and some luck!) they will be able to pull through. I'm looking forward to the...

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

    My Internet connection has been down the past few days, so I have not been able to work on an update. I will get one up as soon as possible. A preview for Chapter 20, to build the anticipation: The party battles the legendary Beast of Nine Flames. The party has a run-in with the mysterious...

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

    Thanks for the SH pimp-age, A'vandira. It wouldn't have been proper for me to do it myself, so it's nice to see one of my loyal readers do it for me. :) Unfortunately, my Internet connection has been down for the past few days, so I haven't been able to work on updates, but I will post the...

    A crapload of new users?

    I am one of the recent de-lurkers, having started posting about a month ago when I decided to start up my own Story Hour, "Prison of the Firebringer." I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everybody's who has read it so far, and especially those who have left comments letting me know that...

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

    Your aches shall be alleviated soon, dear lady, with a healthy dose of an update. It's good for what ails you. We're nearing the end of the adventure now: only two more chapters left. But fear not! There are still a few more updates after the adventure until we catch up to where the party is...

    Lockwood's "Join the Party" ad...

    Why not take the elf and the tiefling, and the little halfling sneak cutting the guy's purse while you're at it? :) My favorite part of the picture is the beholder downing the ale and the mind flayer greedily holding onto his brain snack. This would definitely make a great poster; I know I'd...

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

    Either way works for me. If the combat is dramatic or important to the story, go for the blow-by-blow. If it's uninteresting or only tangentially related to the overall plot, feel free to gloss over it.

    Dungeon #112 has arrived

    Both the domain and the spell are from Savage Species, I believe. Also wanted to add my praise. Got the mag yesterday, read through the whole thing in eight hours or so. Excellent stuff: I'm going to run it as soon as I get a chance!

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

    Yearn no more, fair A'vandira! :) Chapter 19 As the sun fell behind the western horizon, the time of the party quickly approached. Terenon walked into the mage guild with his hair slicked back and trimmed. The stubble he had sported for the past few days was gone. A purple cape made from...

    Cut-scenes?

    I have used cut-scenes often on my play-by-post games, and my players love them. It lets them know there is more going on in the world than just them kicking down doors, fighting monsters, and getting treasure. It also lets me develop the personality and interactions of villains and other NPCs...

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

    Heh, I'm glad you picked up on it, Grundar. It was very subtle, and you wouldn't be able to guess the mage's fate unless you knew Zan's true nature. All will be revealed in due time, faithful readers. :)

    Lamest character deaths ever!

    Death by Yellow Mold: In RttToEE, the drow rogue was hit by some yellow mold. She took some Con damage, but when asked if she wanted to have neutralize poison cast on her to avoid the secondary damage, she declined. "It does 2d6 damage...I have 12 Con left. I'll survive," said she. A minute...

    [Dungeon] Simple question RE Adventure Path

    Yes, Erik had posted in a thread awhile back that 113-115 will finish up the Adventure Path. I, for one, am anxiously awaiting these adventures to see how the series will end. Then we can hopefully look forward to another adventure path that will be as good as the Shackled City one. :)

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

    Chapter 18 From the prison, the party made its way back to the cell with the undead creatures, who were still performing their skeleton impersonation act in an attempt to lure another unsuspecting adventurer inside. The party did not fall for it this time, though, opting instead to fire several...

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

    I've just been cranking them out lately! The third update in six days. Chapter 17 “How many times do your mother and I have to tell you? If you can’t take care of what you find, you shouldn’t bring it home.” Rhys smiled wryly as he mock-lectured Grundar, then called upon the power of Torm to...
