    The never ending story of ...

    Nord leaned over to Herewulf and said quietly, "I don't think that's a very good idea," just before Herewulf suggested "Should we throw a bucket of water over him?" The conversation continued something like this: "Because I've just cast Detect Thoughts" "How did you know what I was going to...

    Taking its time, it transformed into………………….. Taking its time, it transformed into………………….. It's not good, I can't even type what it turned into. My keyboard freezes in terror at he very thought of it. Suffice it say that it was very, very horrid. "Little girl," it said in a terrible deep...

    The never ending story of ...

    There was a blur as Od cartwheeled around the medusa, leapt nimbly upon the altar, grabbed a candlestick en passant and hurled it through the doorway. He was rewarded with an "oof" sound as it struck an approaching other on the nose (or possibly snout). Dotti screamed. It wasn't the scream of a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's help discover who shares this hobby with us! (anonymous poll)

    Perhaps because D&D was originally designed by white males and they, consciously or unconsciously, were biased towards making it the kind of game that would appeal to them. If a non-white, non-male person had invented a game, would it have been like D&D? My feeing is that no, it would have been...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's help discover who shares this hobby with us! (anonymous poll)

    There is an obvious answer. All D&D players must be required to make an annual saving throw against Polymorph. On a failure, they must roll up a new race and gender. Over time, this will even up the statistics to everyone's satisfaction. BTW, I'm voting 'Other' because I'm an incorporeal entity.

    "I know, next I’ll try…….. I'll try it the other way around. I'll lay down on your hands." "Madam," said Od smoothly to Dotti, "Perhaps I can be of some assistance? In a former occupation I trained under the great Coiffo, hair-arranger to several royal houses." This was a brazen lie, but Od...

    The never ending story of ...

    Herewulf suddenly felt a great weight lifted from his mind. He had found his purpose, here in this strange sand-temple on a deserted island far from civilization. But then the enormity of his task punched him squarely in the jaw. He would champion the forgotten gods, yes, but there were millions...

    The never ending story of ...

    ... As the drop of her blood touched the Altar Of Binding, Jeli's world changed utterly. Planets moved in the sky, continents drifted into new positions and evil dictators were replaced by other evil dictators as the course of history was rewritten. The space-time continuum twisted as the...

    Nord had meanwhile turned his attention to the bronze doors and the DM asked him to make a Wisdom(Perception) check to see if there was anything unusual about them. He rolled a 12, so he noticed that there were iron hooks set into the wall on either side, high up near the roof, that could be...

    The bucket.... was a commonplace object, so it spoke Commonplace, which is understandable to speakers of Common if they pay attention and know their place. "What's the rush?" asked the bucket. "Er, we, er ..." "To er is human," said the bucket gently, "Take your time. I'm not going to attack...

    The never ending story of ...

    Deeper and deeper into the dungeon they crept, wary for wandering monsters. Carefully avoiding a squeaky floorboard, in case it was a trick, Od led them down a side passage to the left and into a chamber. It was about 20ft square, with an exit door on the far side. The air was cold and still...

    D&D 5E (2014) Challenge: Character Ideas for Every Single Official Subclass

    Could I ask for clarification? Are we each supposed to think up a collection of 72 character concepts (forget it!) or do you want us each to take a different subclass with no repeating ones already taken?

    We might be in trouble guys. Uhm, GUYS......... "We seem to have lost Jeli," said Amanda. "And the men," she added as an afterthought. She wasn't particularly worried until there was the slightest sensation of a sigh from behind them. It came from mustard-coloured cloud. Then she was worried...
