Tiberian, through a haze of pain and hovering on the edge of unconsciousness, takes a five-foot step away from the warforged assassin and lays his right hand on the wound spurting blood. "Mos' holy Dol Arrah, heal this soldier's wound. I'll fight yer fights an' win yer wars, so long as You are...

So I went to poke around on the website - which, by the way, is super-awesome. I found the Filk page. I'm awfully lucky I wasn't drinking Coke at the time, because I can't afford a new keyboard just now. Oh. My. God. Haven

Clearly expecting Lancel to take the lead, Tiberian takes up the rear position in the group's marching order. He scratches thoughtfully at his stubble. The halberd slung across his back creates a metallic susurration against his chainmail hauberk. When Skakan leaves them, he gets a whiff of...

The irony here is that no one really remembered to tell teachers of English grammar this. It is because of Latin's method of forming the infinitive that we have rules against splitting the infinitive - that is, since it is literally impossible to put an adverb in the midst of "amare," in Latin...

My prediction for these movies - and I don't know if this is a good thing or bad - is a half-line from Beowulf: Wand to wolcnum wælfyra mæst, hlynode for hlawe; hafelan multon, bengeato burston, ðonne blod ætspranc, laðbite lices. Which means: Flew to the heavens the greatest of the funeral...

I don't know if other DMs are kidding about mocking players whose characters get killed. I hope so. I mean, as DM, I have an infinite statblock, based solely on how awful of an encounter I'm willing to dump on them. I feel less sympathy if they were obviously overmatched and ought to have run...

It is for this reason that I have instituted a remarkably less punitive death system, starting with No Level Loss. This is how my longest-running campaign wound up with every PC having at least two deaths and one having four or so. There was at least one dungeon where bodaks were the normal...

Leaning casually on the haft of his halberd, Tiberian says, "We're all done here. Our new friend here," he jerks his chin at Skakan, "was just wrapping up business here. I'm ready to get moving before any other rotter here decides he can cadge a quick silver out of me." Tiberian grins...

"No conflict there, boyo. We're headed down to look for a bloke we know from the war," Tiberian says after a moment's consideration. "M'name's Tiberian. It's not really my call, though. What d'you say, Lancel? Little extra help for this one?" (/ooc: Heh. I'm all about pushing things...

We’re now on our way back to Sharn. We slept late yesterday morning, then spent some time debating a course of action. We eventually settled on going back to the observatory to speak with some of the druids. The walk was uninterrupted, with Fel scouting ahead just a bit. And to think that I...

The color and composition of the dice-set (and I always prefer sets over single dice) must reflect, in some fashion, the character I am playing, or must only be used for that character. Dice have a sense of aesthetics for such things; my warmain only uses pewter or other shiny metal dice. I...

Tiberian gives Lancel a crooked grin and does his best to make the handoff of currency discreet, while keeping his intense gaze fixed firmly on the goblin. "Be sure that I'll get that money back from you later, Lancel. We're bleeding lucky to find a merchant as honest as Skakan. But he knows...

Tiberian shrugs noncommittally. "Not all that long. Long enough to get some funny looks. Like they've never seen a halberd before, eh?" He eyes the goblin Lancel has indicated. "Ugly little turd, isn't he?" Tiberian mutters. He quirks his eyebrow and tilts his head to indicate that Lancel...

I'd tell you to go with the design of double crossbow that is much, much easier to use - the over-under double crossbow. (One of these is used in Gladiator, in the fight with all the chariots.) It's essentially the limbs of two crossbows mounted on the same stock, with two separate trigger...

Tiberian moves through the press of the Rat's Market. The halberd that he carries and the chainmail that he wears are bulky and distinctly out of place, but he puts the haft to good use in "herding" others out of his way. He scowls and says to no one in particular, "Now where is that bloody...

I'm still in, and all ready to go! Haven

I think that the balance issue at stake that dictates that none of the core races should have bonuses to Int, Wis, or Cha is substantially different. A dwarven fighter can look to his Con and say, "Yes, I may take a hit to Cha, but it's more than made up for by my remarkable toughness and...

The Eldeen Reaches do not agree with me at all. Druids are thick on the ground here, and some number of them – gods only know how many – believe that nondivine casters – arcane, such as myself, and psychics like Kelvin – are a blight upon the land and need to be eradicated. There’s no solid...

Everyone's advice is much appreciated. I'm actually still waiting for Wild Surge to catch up to him, even once. He has enervated once in sixteen sessions, and that one time didn't really pose a problem at all. I know that probability will bite him in the hindquarters eventually - at some...
