Ghosts of the Past: Episode I...Good Morning, Sunshine. Sunday, Oct. 1st The house smelled like bacon and fresh brewed coffee. The kitchen curtains were drawn and mid-morning sun warmed the air. Bowls and spoons clattered, Amber happily slurped her OJ from her favorite Ghostbusters mug...

All right so I'm about to jump into the actual events and action that involves my PCs, so I figure I should give a little bit of background on the game for anyone thats interested. The campaign began as a one-shot horror game using the at the time "new" d20 Modern rules. The one-shot scarred...

Ghosts of the Past: Episode I...AJ's Letter This is a transcription of the letter that A.J. Morton left wedged into the gate at the Scufflefield House, addressed to Rich, Jessica, and Meredith. Guys, I'm not one to ask for help but in this case my mere journalism isn't enough. I'm worried...

Wow, Sandain and Wraith those are two really good ideas. Definately have almost too many ideas running around in my head. The Vatican city is great setting, all the architecture and atmosphere would make a heck of a session. As a matter of fact consider it taken but not for this horror game...

Thanks guys these are some good ideas so far, sorry KP I haven't seen the movie you are talking about. Nazi's and Zombies sounds interesting though, but maybe a rogue Soviet or Cuban Communist scientist from Cuba would be a better bet considering the Southern U.S.'s proximity to Cuba. A little...

Hey guys sorry to say that all I have to work with books wise is the D20 Modern book. And thats all. So as much as I'd love to try and use some other stuff I just don't have the time or money to go out and get supplemental books. The island idea is a good one, I was thinking about it...

Ok so here's the deal. Spring break is in less than a week and I'll be spending a week in a beach house full of my friends, of which four of them actively game. I've talked it over with them and we're all interested in playing some over the break, probably during the night over a few beers...

First off, thanks for the praise thatdarncat, its my first attempt at a SH or any actual writing, so bear with me. Second, sorry about the lack of zombies guys. Thats what my players dubbed the game after the first week of playing. The name stuck so I titled the SH Zombies for the benefit...

Ghosts of the Past: Prelude Tuesday, Sept. 19th Early afternoon, at a private residence in Newport News Mark McDaniel sat in the house's dining room idly drumming his fingertips on the glass table top. He made sure to be off work early today, he wanted to be sure that he got back before...

Friday, September 29th The laptop screen flickered faintly as its batteries slowly died. The fading electric light gave the abandoned Jeep's windshield an eerie glow. In the pulsing orange of the hazard lights the words College Creek could barely be read off a roadside sign. This is what...

Ok so currently I'm the DM of a two person campaign set in a heavily modified version of 16th century Europe. The group consists of a Rogue2/Wiz. 10 (PC), a Bard 9/GateCrasher 3/Sublime Chord 1 (NPC), and an 11th level PC that is a custom campaign specific version of a Renaissance man/engineer...

I've been working on some new monsters for my PCs to fight and have been toying with the idea of using Fiendish grafts but as the rules are I still have some questions. So here goes and I hope someone can help me. 1. First off what are the limitations on types of creatures that can recieve...

Hey PK saw the story hour and since I'm running a Modern campaign myself I took a look (one can never have too much inspiration). One quick question for you though, I attend William and Mary and grew up in Newport News. Do you live in the area as well ? You seem to have a pretty good idea of...

thanks for the praise, glad you liked the ideas. heres a few ideas for a more unique set of guardians in the temple. since this is an underground temple why not have a dao guardian, maybe a dao cleric of orcus, if the entire temple isnt made of admantine he would make a troublesome foe with his...

i spent a little time a while ago detailing some minions of orcus. and taking the idea that your PC's are going to teleport in but be diverted to another location. id suggest you plunk them down on a wide rail-less avenue spanning a chasm of undetermined depth. have the whole avenue covered in a...

Hey you might want to look at the d20 spell casting system that Old Drew Id created for his d20 game. I yoinked the basic idea and adapted it to my needs and I've found it pretty flexible and most importantly simple and easy to use. Thats the shortcut to the doc. I also highly recommend...

Here's a slight change of pace from the rest of the thread, a creature that I've just cooked up and like a lot. I'll only post stats for creatures that have some sort of unique significance in the campaign world. The following are stats for Orcus's elite aerial troops, the Dread Wings...

Here are the stats and more detailed information on one of the NPCs mentioned before. BTW I am using 3.0 rules not 3.5, (I'm too lazy to bother to switch) Enjoy. Duchess Maria Guise Human Female Aristocrat 8/ Cleric 1/ Bard 2; Medium-sized humanoid (human); HD 9d8+1d6+22 (56 hp); Init. +1...
