Cholmondeley made a snap decision. "We need to go up, if we are ever going to get back to the surface. Weapons out and beware the snufflesnort." As they went carefully up the West stairway, a thought kept nagging at the back of Foghorn's mind. "When she said Taxes collected, what did she mean...

The was the sound of shouting down below, then the sound of running feet receding into the distance. Ronni and Keyes put on their wings and flew down the hole supporting Knife between them who, if you recall, weighed nothing so she was easy to carry. It was going to be dark down in the tunnels...

Here's what I've got for initiative, rolling and assigning plausible Dex adjustments: Keyes > Ronni > Knife > Char-Ging > Sister Jericho > Bleedo > Duergar (15) > Speedo > Cholmondley > Gucci > Greedo > Freedo > Druids > Foghorn > Pur-Ging > Meedo > Fleado There was a moment's pause, and then...

Cholmondeley took immediate command. He first turned to the head druid. "Gentlemen, I apologise for interrupting your meal, but we are all under threat." "Sorry lad, but we're old school druids, true neutral. We don't get involved." Cholmondeley pointed up to the roof of the single-storey...

After Char-Ging had left in a hurry, Keyes sidled up to Sister Jericho and slipped something small and hard into her hand. "The tax collector somehow accidentally lost this," she explained. It was a large diamond. "Will it do, to bring Knife back?" asked Keyes anxiously. "That will do nicely,"...

One of the druids spoke quietly to a table and, together with some of its neighbours it re-arranged itself into one large table in the middle of the room. The druids sat down, with the portliest druid at the head and the others down each side. The head druid stood up again, said something, and a...

Foghorn's List of Worries To bring Knife back to life, Sister Jericho is going to need a 1000gp diamond and nobody has one. Cholmondeley needs to give the knife back to Knife but she won't take it. Cholmondeley has no weapons and doesn't know why. We have no arcane spellcaster and the...

Thank you :) As they were setting off next morning, they had hardly gone a few yards when the sky suddenly darkened and with a beating of mighty wings came .......... a tartan dragon. His name was Archie and he was Flora's ex. "Wahae the noo!" cried Archie, "If it's nae Flora, ma wee...

It's a hook for DMs, like ideals and flaws. It allows power-mad DMs to coerce players by saying "Your deity demands this of you." and the player has no comeback because the DM plays all the deities and therefore holds all the cards. The DM can't do that if the PC doesn't have a deity. For DMs...

Does this reproduce Tolkien's world of Middle Earth?

Here's what I do: use the default equipment by class and background, but make substitutions or additions if the character has feats or fighting styles that make it appropriate. Then tally up the value of all of it, subtract that from what you would get by rolling for starting allowance and take...

Sorry, clicked the wrong button. Not my turn again today.

That's odd, thought Knife, that's something you don't see every day. A man and a dragon riding side-by-side? She was so busy staring at the little party coming up the road that she tripped on a missing cobblestone and would have tumbled over except, being dead, she didn't. The thing about being...

You drive a hard bargain :) The village of Norton Fitzwarren was dominated by an ancient hilltop fort surrounded by earthen ramparts. When Cholmondeley rode into the village to call at the manor house and pay his respects to the baron, there was panic. Not so much because of him, but because a...

Perhaps we should give Cholmondley and his horse a happy ending?

What happened next was rather sudden and rather dramatic. The Swarm that was Moss lashed out randomly with a Mind Slam attack and it hit Ronni, bowling her over flat on her back. Already as unstable as nitroglycerine, the Molten Madras inside her erupted and she belched out a 6d6 fireball that...

If you are going to hand out free magic items, restrict them to ones that the players have already obtained in your low-level games. That way, you will all know what to expect in terms of the effect they have on the game.

The model is making hidden assumptions about the statistical distribution of settlement sizes. Those assumptions don't necessarily hold. The model is also making hidden assumptions about where high-level NPCs would choose to live. Again, those assumptions don't necessarily hold. Suppose a...

In the abode of the gods, Thor spake: I raise you a hundred devotees and an acolyte. So saying, he moved his little clay figure of Foghorn just a knight's move to the left, neatly side-stepping the flanking manoeuvre that Hermes, the god of thieves, had just tried to make with his own piece...
