Shadow of the Colossus, part I After the collapse of the Obscurati facility under the Bleak Gate analogue of Cauldron Hill, which led to the escape of the Colossus named Borne, Kind Aodhan of Risur was holding an emergency meeting. The King’s advisors and Constables were brainstorming ideas to...

Zeitgeist is keeping 4E alive for us until we finish the campaign. We'll be here for the duration!

awesome list! I might include the 1979 Avalon Hill release of Magic Realm on the list. While not really and RPG, it is interesting that 5 years after turning down Gygax, they advertised that the game was "an effort to out-D&D D&D" and "If you are a D&D enthusiast who thrives on endless game...

Highlights of heroic tier from the perspective of Summer's player: http://yoccu.tumblr.com/post/104973117249/i-wish-i-could-share-all-of-our-weird-d-d-stories

whew. finished Heroic tier last night with an "epic" showdown with the colossus closing in on the Coaltongue as the constables fought off wave after wave of witchoil monstrosities and the ghosts of those who died over the past year. full writeup coming soon (maybe tonight). As we head into...

Cauldron Born The three witchoil golems were closing in and the constables had just left their weapons behind at Leone Quital’s request. As the massive doors began to shut, separating the constables and their weapons, Xambria manifested and began shuttling items out the doors. The golems...

After James Chinast’s heroic bomb disposal, most of the constables needed a break. Everyone but Summer and Malkie headed home for a nap after working through the night and into the morning. Malkie, Summer, and some junior constables (who were slowly recovering from the Duke of Slaughter) started...

I think those came from Admiral o' the High Seas and/or the five-adventure compilation that just came out. I don't know if they got added into the Axis Island pdf.

In the original deck plans, there are two ladders forward (right next to the door to the storage room), two ladders midship, leading down from the large grated area, and two aft, right in front of the stacks, that lead down right on top of the boiler. There are no stairs. In the updated deck...

I read that as referring to Kasvarina (bride of the fiery Asrabey) dissenting from the Ob, but the Ekossigan's band of green-adorned faeriefolk not caring and making their own attack plans. but I could see yours as well...

We made them level 4 PCs. After the HQ destruction at the end of Digging For Lies, I put an "RHC Now Hiring" notice in our facebook group and asked for people to submit 4th-level characters. They put in 4 or 5 and then I added enough to make a total of 8 so there would be a few spares.

DM's Note: I adjusted the Bomb-defusing skill challenge as follows: Because James's Thievery is 12, and he's a Technologist (+5), and he's trained in Arcana (+2), and I allowed one assist (Summer needed to roll a 5 on the die for another +2), for a total potential bonus of 21, which was the...

Explosion Day After the slaughter at RHC Headquarters, no one wanted to sleep. Summer asked the stars some questions and went to meditate. IronPeak’s Martial Science sense was telling her that the constables were not gaining enough power (or “levels,” to use the Battalion nomenclature) in...

Those are good stats for a Bic-style lighter. To modify for a Zippo, I'd change "continues to burn as long as the lighter's trigger is depressed" to "continues to burn, even if no one is holding it, until an action is spent to close the lighter." The balance to not having to devote a hand to it...

His Grace, the Duke of Slaughter The Constables prepared for their ambush of Lorcan Kell. Dester Rathnine, a member of The Family who was undercover in Kell’s Guild, had set up a fictitious meeting between Kell and “Norm,” his Obscurati contact. The meeting would require Kell to cross a...

The main thing I notice on that chart is the rapid decline of World of Darkness. It seems both White Wolf and Wizards were trying to grab the WoW trend. White Wolf merged with CCP to make their IP into an MMO; Wizards transformed their game into something that could be adjudicated by computer...

Zippos don't go out until you close the lid and suffocate the flame. Unlike the Bic style, you don't have to hold down a safety to keep the flame burning. Once you light the wick, it keeps feeding fuel until the flame goes out. (which is technically slightly after the lid closes, so there will...

well, yeah, under the current system. this would be a different system, so it would work... differently...
