    And being such a nice DM, I'm sure you won't make this come back to bite her ...

    The Heroes of Icemist (SmallBeginnings 2)- Interlude update 2/21/2008!

    As someone else who really enjoyed your first outing - and who probably viewed it almost as often as Rel, even if I didn't comment therein - may I add my cry of "Welcome back!". I liked what you did to the SC, and I'm looking forward to seeing waht original material you come up with. :\...

    To Find a King (updated 06/26)

    In the first part of Chapter One, the mayor says that the late baron named him as "executrix" of his will. However, "executrix" is feminine, so unless the mayor has had a sex change, he would have been appointed "executor". Which, as I said, is a very minor error compared to some I've seen in...

    The Celestial Empire (Romance of the Three Kingdoms-ish, Updated 12/09/05)

    I'm all caught up again :) . I thoroughly enjoyed the destruction of the Wang Liang village - both Nayu's turn to the Dark Side and Felonca's reaction. It's good to see this sort of thing dealt with properly. And as for them being betrayed by Prince Hu, well, who'd've thought it ;) . Slew...

    To Find a King (updated 06/26)

    You're most welcome - they were quite sincerely meant. Believe me, I know all about real life getting in the way of gaming and associated activities. I hope things look brighter for you soon. I've noticed this too. It must be rather disheartening, but I'm sure that if you persist, the sheer...

    To Find a King (updated 06/26)

    Hi Mortepierre I followed you here from Herremann's storyhour ... and I like what I've found! Your campaign world obviously has tremendous background development, your players have come up with terrific backgrounds for the PCs, they're obviously putting in some great RPing, and your writing is...

    The Happenings of Lucifus Cray: Update{23}07/06/06 - The Threading of the Weave

    You can add me to the number of readers who have been hooked. You've a got a pretty good writing style (nice echoes of Vance here and there, especially when Lucifus is actually "on stage") and I'm looking forward to how all the different threads come together. Personally, I tend not to get into...

    Rel's Faded Glory III: Glory Reborn (FINAL UPDATE 6/22 - SHE'S DONE, BABY!!)

    Right! That's my sort of hero! Great updates, as ever, Rel. Keep them coming.

    Thanks for another fine update, Emperor. The Bleakborn certainly sound like they were fun. I havenit picke dup LM yet, but maybe I ought to check it out ....

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    I've only had a quick glance at the .pdf so far, but it looks very nice indeed. I have read the intro - very evocative! I look forward to (re)reading the rest and reminding myself how it all started ... when pits and rats struck fear into the mighty heroes of Glynden :D !!

    Who's from the UK?

    I would have said that a significant number seem to have emigrated to Peckham ... ;)

    Who's from the UK?

    I'll add myself to the list: I live in Bicester (half-way-ish between Oxford and Banbury). I'm going to be 46 later this month :( (so let's have none of these pathetic crocodile tears over being in your mid-30s ;) ). I work in legal publishing, but am lucky enough to do so from home, so...

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    You really don't need yet another reader coming on here telling you how good your storyhour is ... but I'll do it anyway. It is GOOD :D . To be honest, when I first looked at it, the first few posts about the DoD's initial adventures in Eversink, didn't really grab me that much, and it nearly...

    The Celestial Empire (Romance of the Three Kingdoms-ish, Updated 12/09/05)

    I was indeed. What with learning that the current "Emperor" is in fact illegitimate, why it's practically a duty .... ;) Of course if you do get the throne, then getting your hands on that dagger seems like a very good idea. Not that I'm suggesting you wouldn't be able to trust Felonca, you...

    The Celestial Empire (Romance of the Three Kingdoms-ish, Updated 12/09/05)

    I was wondering how long it would be before you started dangling real temptation in front of Nayu. I look forward to seeing him succumb :D .

    The Celestial Empire (Romance of the Three Kingdoms-ish, Updated 12/09/05)

    Good stuff, as always, Emperor. And that's not like other NPCs in this campaign ... ;)

    Armor as DR and light weapons

    I don't own UA so am not fully conversant with the variant rule in use, but the following has occurred to me when musing on similar ideas: Consider adding a bonus to damage equal to the amount by which the attack roll (with all relevant modifiers) exceeds the AC. Thus an attacker rolling 4 more...

    Flavor changes, show me the problems.

    Some interesting ideas. Dwarves using primarily wizardly magic, I like (similar idea in Rune Quest 3rd ed if I remember right), and the concentration on item creation feats would certainly be in keeping with the traditional view of the race. Elves I see personally as sorcerors and bards. I'm...
