From the fog: a mysterious foe! Gravan continues to bellow orders to his crew as the Soarwood craft gracefully drifts closer. A moment later, the wind changes direction, and a thick bank of fog settles across you, chilling you to the bone and making it impossible to see anything. For just a...

Looks interesting. Human? Most likely, she would have been a stowaway aboard the Whale's Carcass, as her unsavory reputation would have caused Voddlegrok to balk at hiring her. (the stowaway idea allows me to work her into the story later on, should the need arise). Also, consider having her...

Character concepts I may be a little premature in posting these, since I don't really know for sure if I've been accepted yet. But I thought I'd go ahead and share a couple of character concepts with you--could't hurt, after all. 1] My first concept is for a rebellious, 'druid-punk' sort of...

Wow, this looks like a very interesting game. May I humbly request to join as your fourth player? You may note that I am something of a newbie to the boards (only 70 posts), but I assure you that I am quite eager and more than willing to keep up with a fast game.

"The last time I was boarded was by the Aundair Royal Navy, which turned out well, as far as those things go. They threw all my cargo overboard and threw me and my crew into the brig. The naval General who oversaw my trial decreed that I'd never again be allowed to dock in Stormhome as long as...

One week out... It has been several days since you left Stormhome behind. Your journey has been enjoyable, albeit uneventful. The Whale's Carcass may not look like much, but she sails well, and only the overly sensitive Voddlegrok has had any problems whatsoever with seasickness. The ship is...

The time to begin your journey has arrived. The Whale's Carcass is finally ready to set sail. You're all on deck, sharing glasses of Barandurr's spiced ale in order to clear away the memory of the ship's stench. Poor Voddlegrok already seems slightly seasick. Captain Gravan, a tall...

Here is the official in-character thread for 'Beneath the Ice', an old-school style dungeon crawl set in the world of Eberron. (The game will begin on Monday, December 27th.) * The players: Barkey, playing Barandurr Genlom Steelsing, a Dwarven Cleric of Onatar, Level 5 Krug, playing Mong, a...

Hey, everybody! It looks like we'll be getting started quite soon, but there's still a few more details I'd like to add. I've got some bits of information for each of your characters--check the spolier block next to your character's name below. Here you'll find some subplots, extra character...

In high school, I was very easily bored. So I took to adding things to my signature on tests--stuff like 'The Incredibly Brilliant One' or 'Don't you wish you were me?' One particular signature addition I used frequently was 'The Amazing', so much so that the football players (who cheated off...

Fairly soon. I still want to prepare a few more things, and we're still waiting on a couple of character backgrounds. And I figured most everybody would be pretty busy, given the holidays and all. How does Monday sound to everyone? I'll start the official in-game thread on that date (and, of...

Woof! Woof! Grrrr. Rrrorooroorrr! Woof!

That could be quite interesting, especially if the two threads occasioanlly become entwined (with a chance for the two groups to interact). On the other hand, the "great big group" style game could be fun too. I'd say that it's up to you: go with the option that will be easier and more fun for...

I think it's going to be Dumbledore. Dumbledore is Harry's last remaining respected authority figure. Despite the fact that Harry is angry at him as of the end of book 5, Dumbledore still remains a source of strength and security for Harry. Dumbledore's death would be the hardest possible...

Various notes I have to say that I'm impressed by how quickly everything has come together. I'm really pleased to have such a diverse group of interesting players and characters. I promise to do my best to craft an enjoyable game. Floe should be a very handy addition to the group. Don't...

I work in a chain bookstore in the middle of a semi-scuzzy downtown neighborhood. Oh, the horror stories I could tell you...in fact, I think I will! Many of the strangest things that happen at our store occur in the men's restroom. We're constantly taking books and magazines out of there...

I decided to go ahead and make a Rogues' Gallery thread. You can find it here.

The Aundairian Scroll, 12 Ayrth, 998 YK ~Read by Queen Aurala Herself~ Voddlegrok Organizes New Expedition "What suicidal fools are these?" says Sasik d' Vadalis Quentin Voddlegrok, the Gnomish "scholar" responsible for the recent deaths of no less than six brave explorers in the Demon Wastes...

There will be an in-character thread over in the Playing the Game forum once the game offically begins (we're still waiting on a couple more characters). Any and all role-playing that takes place here is wholly optional (though encouraged), just a way of adding a bit more flavour before the...
