    Doom from Below: The Illithid Ascension (Last Updated: 1-1-03)

    Well, as you can see, our next update has been delayed somewhat. This will be corrected presently. However, in the meantime, I have provided the map of the world of Vitis. The characters are currently in Cedilla, heading west, toward the Umlaut boarder. Yes, indeed, this map was made with...

    How Do You Run a Good Campaign?

    Here is some elaboration on two general guidelines I've employed in my game with some success: 1: Plot early, plot often. Plot out the events of your game as if you were writing the initial outline of a book. Run your game sessions as if you were writing the 'meat' of the story... with the...

    Doom from Below: The Illithid Ascension (Last Updated: 1-1-03)

    The haunted forest thinned noticibly as they went, and by the early afternoon had metamorphosed into a broad grassy plain broken only occasionally by copses of trees. The rippling of the grass made the entire vista seem strangely oceanic; a great sea of green, with tree-bearing islands scattered...

    Doom from Below: The Illithid Ascension (Last Updated: 1-1-03)

    That night, as the others slept, Shayuri was on her watch shift when she noticed something strange. A pair of faintly luminous orbs hovering in the absolute darkness in the trees nearby. Like...eyes. Looking closer, she could faintly discern a blacker-than-black shape set against the shadows...

    Baby Pictures of the Elder Gods

    Words fail us... And when words fail, sometimes, we must make due with going stark raving mad and expressing ourselves via less conventional means. *dances around a bon-fire, gibbering and wailing enthusiastically*

    Doom from Below: The Illithid Ascension (Last Updated: 1-1-03)

    At this point, since our heroes are, well, alive...it may be a good time to provide some information on each of them and spare us all some expository dialogue. Piklum is, as noted, a halfling. Possessing a certain cuteness rather than handsomeness, he wears scruffy clothing and a well-used suit...

    Doom from Below: The Illithid Ascension (Last Updated: 1-1-03)

    Drawn ever onward by Shar's unbreakable tie to her slayer, three ghosts soared towards their quarry. As they did, a peculiar wrath began bubbling in each of them. The world was a dark mockery of its former self in their eyes, seeming twisted and wrong. Where once there had been life and flesh...

    Doom from Below: The Illithid Ascension (Last Updated: 1-1-03)

    Greetings and welcome to The Vitis Campaign story hour. Here will be recounted the story of a group of adventurers forced to contend with a world plunged into turmoil... Enjoy. --- "Eh? What's this? If you've come here for a story, or a tale, then you can turn around and leave right now...

    I got Faiths & Pantheons!

    Out of curiosity, is Ilsensine, the God-Brain worshiped by the Illithid, listed amongst the monster-deities? ... And, if so, what information is available? -Phasmus

    (IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 4)

    Greetings. For those of you who do not know me, I represented the Illithid in the first IR, and the Neoillithid in the second. I have not kept track of events since my departure, at the end of IR 2. I perceive, now, that things are unraveling rather rapidly as forces of unimaginable...

    Illithid vs DR

    I would rule that attaching a tentacle does not require that the target take damage. Just because the victim can ignore damage from being swatted by a tentacle (or from any other damage associated with any other creatures' grapple attempts) it doesn't mean the grapple itself doesn't work. DR...
