Kindric is no more eager to face his patron than Well'Xix is. The normally loquacious elf falls grimly silent. First things first, he thinks, and a bowl of koumiss becomes his boon companion. A straw-stuffed dummy is the next guest at the party, followed by all the knives, darts, and javelins...

This… may not be an improvement. We searched every nook and cranny of the hallways behind the secret door and found little else of note. We tried any number of different theories, only to determine with great certainty that we needed to go back out and fight the rest of the cultists. They...

Kindric Tanllwyr ready and reporting for duty, good times all around, and of course I wouldn't mark my cards, what a thing to say! And I edited my stat block. Go me! Haven

Kindric Tanllwyr Stat block is complete. ShaggySpellsword, I switched Str and Wis. Medium Humanoid (elf) Alignment: Chaotic Good Patron Ancestor: Rejar Grimbane Region: Valenar Height: 5'4" Weight: 120 lb Hair: Brown Eyes: Green Age: 129 Str: 13 Dex: 15 (17) Con: 14 (12) Int: 15 Wis: 10...

At least at low levels, the Black Company magic system is best described as "punitive." As in, the game seems to want to punish you for having the gall to be a spellcaster. The kinds of magical effects that you can call forth are laughably weak and devastatingly draining. I've never played...

Wow. I really am the last of the dying breed on this board - people who loved Birthright and long for its updating to 3.anything rules. Sigh.

I'd certainly argue that "chi" is just as overused as "mana," just for a different set of character types. Haven

Do you have any other suggestions for "intangible magical energy which is spent in order to power a spell, and which is (generally) quantifiable"? Mana has been good enough for every non-slot-based casting system I've ever read, though some video games call them MP and Unearthed Arcana went...

So... awesome... Duuuuude. Haven Normally more loquacious than this

Easy, easy question for me as a boffer LARPer, because I've personally gotten to play everything except a rogue in larps. This has taught me that my True Nature is a scholarly-type cleric who likes to beat people up when it becomes absolutely necessary. I've been playing this character type...

Steel_Wind - good point on how they keep Caprica, Kobol, and Galactica as active locations. That's half of how they make it better than ST: TNG or Voyager. The other half, equally impressive to me, is that people at all levels of the military, from the Deck crew and the newbie pilots on up to...

I have kind of an odd view on the Episode 1.7 incident - in which Adama risked the whole fleet to wait for Starbuck. They'd gone out of their way, earlier in the episode, to establish Starbuck as the only person with the ability to teach new Viper pilots. It's been long enough since I first...

And now we’re holed up in the pyramid, poking around for a way out. There is a small army of cultists outside – I suspect the ones we didn’t kill will go get the rest of the tribe and jump us when we emerge. And won’t that be fun. Once we rested and refreshed our spells in the outer temple...

We’re holed up in the temple that was built out in front of the pyramid. We had at least two more close brushes with death getting here, but maybe we’ll have time to rest and prepare more spells for a foray into the pyramid proper. We met a flight of pegasi-mounted elves en route to the tomb...

I play Shattered Isles and King's Gate as my primary LARPs, with a few other local games as sidelines. I am a LARPer first, then a tabletop roleplayer. Whenever possible, my players and I prefer to tweak tabletop rules to mirror the ideas and (pardon the phrase) "realities" of the LARPs we all...

We did not return to the drow settlement as I had expected. Hoping to avoid the wrath of the dragon, we went south. We traveled for three days with only one sighting – through the canopy, we spotted a wing that was either brass or bronze. It went by much too fast for any of us to be sure...

I really like the idea of the metal pages, or the skin pages, or covered in reptile hide. I can't do those things. See, I'm really going to go out and buy a blank book and put it in their hands - with probably a little bit of text already visible. I'm planning to let the PCs write in it as...

Cool ideas - keep 'em coming! Haven

ShaggySpellsword and ValenarJaeldira, turn back now or face my wrath. Spoiler Space. Spoiler Space. So, I'm planning to use one of the older (and weirder) tricks in the book. Have the party find a blank journal, in which writing appears unbidden. Since I can't do the cool...
